EX-NAVAL OFFICER ENLISTS,
DESERTS AND IS CAPTURED

NEW YORK, July 24.-For the sec
ond time in the history of the United
States army, Castle William, the mill
tary prison of the department of the
east on Governors island, houses a
graduate of one of the two national
academies. The first was former Capt.
Oberlin NJ. Carter, whose embezzlement
case is still notorious. The second is
not named by the war department, but
in his time he was a popular midship-
man and an ensign aboard a battleship
of the Atlantic fleet. When he came
up for promotion to the rank of junior
lieutenant he failed to pass the re-
quired examination and was permitted
to resign. He was devoted to the ser
vice, and at the advice of friends de-
cided to enlist for a commission in the
army. For a year the rookie" stuck to
his duties manfully. Then he became
an absentee without leave and finally
the absence heightened into desertion.
Three months ago he was captured, and
the government paid his captOr $100.
Now he wears clothes marked with a
yellow "P. E."
The prisoner has not yet been court
martialed, but when the maneuvers at
Gettysburg are over a court will be
convened, and then the prisoners name
will come out. Officers at Governors
island refused to discuss the case, al
though they would not deny that they
have such a prisoner

SearChers Find Funeral Pyre
That Reveals Suicide or
Possibly Murder
ALLEGE WOMAN is INSANE
Advance Theory of SeIf-DeStruC-
ton Through Sudden Fits
of Insanity
tAss,clated Pressl

SEATTLE, July 24-The finding of
the badly burned body of Mrs. Hannah
Reynolds in the midst of the shoulder
ing embers of a funeral pyre this
morning revealed horrible case of sui
eide, or possibly murder, The body of
Mrs. Reynolds, who was 60 years old
and lived with her two sons at 1881
Sixteenth avenue, was found in the
woods near RaVenna park by search
ing party that had been out last night
1t was lying face down in the midst
of the smoking remnants of what had
been a huge bonfire. The clothing had
been consumed and the body was
charred almost beyond recognition.
Although the evidence, according to the
police. points to the theory of self-de-
struction, Coroner J. c. Snyder was not
entirely satisfied and late tonight
asked the police bureau to make a
thorough investigation. He said that
there were some points that were not
satisfactorily clear, and hinted that
the woman might have been murdered
and her body thrown on the bonfire to
destroy evidence of the crime.
The strongest point in favor OF the
suicide theory is the assertion that
Mrs. Reynolds had suffered from mem
tai arrangement at different times
1t is thought she might have been
seized with a sudden fit of insanity
and to have set out to destroy, herself
Mrs. Reynolds left home early yes
terday afternoon. When darkness be-
gan to fall her sons became alarmed
over her absence and a searching party
was organized.
1t was not until long after daylight
this morning that they came upon the
charred remains. Her husband, H. b.
Reynolds, lives with three other chill
dren on q ranch near Bothell.

HIDING PLACE OF
SUSPECT KNOWN
Russo-ChineSe Banks Bonds Not
Believed Negotiated; Return
of Paper Expected
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, July 24.-Cdunsel for
Erwin Wider, who has been formally
charged by officials of the Russo-Chi-
nese bank with stealing $4,000 worth
Of bonds, admitted today that he knew
where his client is and intimated that
Wider and the bank are now in touch.
The bonds have not been negotiated,
although it is strongly hinted that
they have been hypothecated with va
rious Wall street brokers. Neither has
the case been reported to the police,
and Wider's lawyer hopes that If the
bonds can be restored to the bank there
will be no prosecution. Under rule
of the stock exchange, if broker ac-
cepts collateral from a client who does
not own it, and if the client loses on
the speculation, the broker must re-
store the collateral to the rightful
owners and accept the clients losses
or forfeit his right to do business on
the exchange. So there is much cur1os-
ity today as to the identity of the bro
kerage house with which Wider
traded, and as to what measure of re-
sponsibility 1t will be forced TO assume
either by the courts or by the stock
exchange Wider's lawyer promised
today to make a statement tomorrow,
and it is possible that names may
come out then. .
The salary Wider got was $1,000 a
year. He owned an automobile and
paid $35 month for his home in the
Bronx.

SEN. CUMMINS FLAYS
STEEL AND OIL TRUSTS
Says Rockefeller and Carnegie'S
BenefaCtions Are Merely
AtonementS for Injustice

COTTONWOOD FALLS, Kans,
July Ex-senator Albert B. Cummins
of Iowa spoke at the Chase county
chautauqua here this afternoon. The
senator stated that he chose to de-
live a sermon on the text of Justice"
rather than talk of political interests
because it was the Sabbath day. Then
he proceeded to attack the steel trust
and the oil trust and particularly to
fay John d. Rockefeller and Andrew
Carnegie.
Both of these gigantic financiers are
eXponents of grave injustice TO this
country" he declared. THE millions
of dollars which they give the public
for the building of Libraries and edu-
cational institutions are nothing more
than returning a part of their great
profits to the American people by way
of atonement. However, that sort of
atonement will never eXpiate the
wrongs that they have done in the
fields of industry"
The senator avoided politics as he
had decla ed he would until near the
close of his address, when he paid a
glowing tribute to Senator BristoW.
"A braVer and trueF man to his
politics than Bristow has never been
seen on the senate floor" were his
words.

PURCHASED YACHT
Stein Shipyard Interests Buy
$117,50O Government
Boat for $5,100
ASSOCIATED Press1

WASHINGTON, July 24.-If the con-
verted yacht Hornet, which the gov
ernment has just sold to Isaac S. Stein
of New Orleans, the highest bidder at
the condemnation sale, is going to
Nicaragua to serve as the nearest APP
proach to a navy that the Estrada
faction can. secure, the Washington
authorities have not received any Of
fetal word of that fact. There is moth
ing, however, to prevent either faction
in Nicaragua from securing the dis
carded vessel under certain conditions.
The vessel could not carry arms as q
cargo, but it could be equipped as an
armor vessel and sent out of an AmerL-
can port.
The Hornet, when built twenty years
ago, cost this government SILT 500 and
was sold few days ago for $500. She
is a tidy steel craft and could be of
more use to the Estrada forces than
the Venus and the little antiquated tug
San Jacinto are to the Madriz forces
in Nicaragua waters.
The stein shipyards interests deny
that they bought the Hornet to fit her
out as a Nicaraguan revolutionary
warship. The Hornet is on the way
from Norfolk to New Orleans.
