FOUND DEAD IN
CHICAGO RESORT
Son Of James II. Moore, Head
of Extensive interests.
DEATH PROBABLY NATURAL

While the Young Man Is Believed to
Have Succumbed to Heart Disease
an Investigation win Be Made by
the Police Observation-Disclosures
Was Lavish Spender and Was
Well Known Along New York's
"Waite Way"
Chicago, Jan. ll.-Heir to the vast
estate of his father, James Hobart
Moore, who, with his brother, W. II.
Moore, controls the great Rock Island
railroad system, the Diamond Match
company and other extensive corpora
tions, Nathaniel Ford Moore, twenty
six years old and only three years a
bridegroom, lies dead, having been
found lifeless at leyee resort.
He apparently died of heart disease
and the young woman inmate who
discovered the body, as we'll as Vic
toria Shaw, owner of the resort, were
not arrested But the house was
closed forthwith.
One of the most pitiful incidents in
the tragedy is the manner in which it
was received by Mrs. Moore. The
body was taken first to Jordan's un-
dertaking establishment. From there
q group of police officials, accom-.
panied by representative of the un-
dertaking company, went to the Lake
Shore drive to acquaint Mrs. Moore
with the facts. She swooned and has
been under the care of physicians
since. Mrs. Moore was formerly Miss
Helen Fargo of the family of the well
known Fargos of New York.
Meant to Begin at Bottom.
While living at the Lasalle hotel,
incurring a daily living expense of at
least $50, Moore announced his inten-
tion of entering the service of the
Rock Island railroad and working up.
Following this came the announce
ment that he had been engaged i'm the
shop for $40 q month
Perhaps the most startling enter
tanning episode that the young man
ever figured in was a dinner he gave
In 1907 to fifteen couples in Rector's
In New York. Diamond sleeve but
tons and necklaces of pearls were the
favors for his men and women friends
The cost of the dinner was estimated
at $4,000 and took rank with the
famous banquet OF James Hazen Hyde
II was his twenty-third birthday ami
versary celebration.
NAT" Moore first became known
from his early display of skill at golf
when he was member of the Lake
Geneva Country club.
On young Moore's twenty-first birth
day his father. the capitalist, placed
$750.000 under his plate at birthday
party. Young Moore was lavish
spender and was known far better
along Broadway in New York than in
Chicago

former were invited to enter an in
closure in the blue room indicated by
a velvet covered rope, which was
guarded by an official of the White
House
When the minister from Spain had
paid his respects to the president he
started to join the ambassadors. He
was halted and told he could not en-.
ter. The minister protested and the
White House official appealed to an.
other officer for support.
The latter listened to the represen.
tations of the Spanish minister and
then said, according to the report, that
ne would lay the matter before the
president, the secretary of state not
being present. Mr.. Taft is said to
have declined to permit the rule to be
broken for the benefit of Marquis de
Villalobar
The marquis left the White House
in a huff and other ministers, when
denied admission to the privileged
space, also withdrew.

ditions Said to Be Widespread.
Washington, Jan. 11-There is to
be an investigation by congress into
the reasons fer the advanced cost of
the necessaries of life. Few of the
leaders of congress want the investi
cation, hut the pressure of public SEN
timent cannot be withstood.
Independent Republicans and Demo
Gratis have made the assertion that the
tariff and combinations are responsi
BILE for the increase which has out
stripped the raise in wages. Repub-
lican leaders stoutly assert the trou.
BILE is due to the laws of supply and
demand-that the production of the
farm has not kept pace with the con
sumption of the city.
The people are not satisfied with
explanations, They want the reasons
They point to the desertion of the
farms of the East as an argument
against the prosperity of the farmer
under ruling high prices and talk OF
the discomfort with political conditions
existing in the great agricultural
states of the Middle West as evidence
that some one other than the pro
ducer is reaping the profits from food
products.
Four resolutions for Investigations
into the increased cost of living are
pending in congress. Senators Elkins
of West Virginia and Crawford of
introduced them in the senate; Rep.
resentatives Rowland. Republican, and
Hull, Democrat, have presented them
to the house. Each of these resolu.
tions has been held up by the powers
that be because the question is charged
with political dynamite.
Consumers Are Organizing.
A national league of consumers is
being organized in Washington to boy.

prices of which have been forced to

women of the country are to be en-
rolled as members of this league and
the fight is to be carried into the 25,

promised the first fight shall come on

means that luxury and fast living is

Secretary James Wilson of the de

his thousands of agents in the field to
gather statistics as to the selling

County Bloodhounds
Did Good WORK.

On last Saturday afternoon one OF
the white convicts, Adell G. Davis,
who was a "trusty" and cooking for
gang which is camped on the Augusta
road about eight miles above here,
entered the guards quarters and
dressed himself up in citizens clothes
and left camp for parts unknown. He
was gone about three or four hours
before lie was missed, as all of the
guards as we'll as the captain we're at
work on the road some distance from
camp.
MIR. J c. Robbins, who is a dog
man ofsome note, finally found where
Davis went into swamp to change
his stri .,es for his new and freshly ac-
uuir.d citizens' clothes. At the time
Mr.. Robbins only had three of the
bloodhounds with him. One was an
old trained dog; the other two, were
only puppies-"Flashlight" and
"Chattler," which he has only had
for short while, getting them from
the lockwood Kennels, of Lexington,
KY. TIE dogs struck the trail and
followed it for several hours through
some as rough swamps as there are in
Lexington county, trailing through
the town of Barrs, ano finally catch
ing Davis about two miles from Barr.
Mr.. Robbins claims this to be re-
markahle on account of it being SO
dry and dusty and from the fact that
Davis travelled both oyer ploughed
ground aud on the railroad track.
