STEEL STOCK TOOK
Big TUMBLE TO-DAY
Rumor that Trust Would Dis
solve Causes Excitement
on Wall Street.
tNational News AssociationJ

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-A rumor for
which no one will stand responsible.
that the government win order the
dissolution of the Steel Trust, was
used with effective force by the
bears this afternoon to hammer
down the stock in Wall Street. U. 8.
steel, common, opened this morning
at 63ss but declined steadily as tho
rumor spread, and early In the after
noon had sold down below 50. Pre-
ferred opened at 109h and sold down
to LOG. Two weeks ago Steel common
was selling at Is. Today's quotations
show depreciation Of about $91.5OO.-
900 in the value of the common stock.
The preferred two weeks ago was sell
ing at $l-15. The value of outstand-
ing shares OF this stock in that time
has declined about $33 .O0O, 900, or . to-
tai depreciation OF $l24, 500, 900 To-
days prices were the lowest in sever
al years. Under the heavy pressure
prices declined steadily all through
the session. The market apparently
was devoted to steel alone. 1t was
surprising fact, despite the break in
steel, all OF the other stocks showed
strength. The rumor that the Steel
Trust would dissolve and that it might
do 80 voluntarily to escape govern
ment suit reached the office Of every
banker in the financial district. The
resulting liquidation has not been
equalled since the 1907 panic.

FIND A NUDE man
HIDING IN A SHED
Prowled Woods Near City
Last Night Naked, and
Was Captured Today.

Wearing nothing but smile, Ralph
Smith, young man claiming his home
to be in Union City, was arrested
about O'Clock this morning Dy Pa
trolman vogelsong, in shed in the
rear Of the home of Henry Gehring, on
Newman's Hill, north west part of the
city. The arrest was made following
a search of more than twenty hours
for the man, who is said to have been
seen in the woods near that part of
the city and who was running about
absolutely naked.
1t is believed that Smith is insane.
He was clothed and taken to head
quarters. While talking to Police
Supt. Gormon this morning, he talked
irrational at times and would laugh
loudly when there was seemingly
nothing to laugh about. He said his
home was in Union City and that his
father was a lumber man. He said he
was camping in the river bottom with
another young man.
Last evening, residents at Newman's
I'LL Cdllcu anu OC-
clared that nude man was walking
in the woods. Patrolmen I.awler, Fee
and Rettinghaus were detailed to the
scene to arrest the man, but after a
fruitless search they decided the man
had left the locality. However resi-
dents continued the search, but with
out results. 1t is presumed that Smith
went into a corn field nearby where
he spent the night. ,.
This morning the police were noti-
fled again about the man and Patrol
man Voglesong and Patrol Driver
Remmert were sent to the place where
they found Smith in shed with his
clothes Off
At first, admittance was refused the
patrolmen. but Voglesong managed to
gain entrance. Smith merely smiled
and when ordered to don his clothes,
he refused. 1t took some time for the
patrolmen to dress Smith and he was
placed in the patrol wagon and is now
confined in the city jail
1t is likely that sanity inquest will
be held over him. Union City Off.
cials say the young man is not known
there.

LEAvENWORTH, Kas.. Sept. 21.-
Three hundred and forty-one Chicago
women have answered the call Of Her.
bert E Coler for a wife and are won
dering why their letters and cards
have remained unanswered by one
who wanted 'some nice, jolly girl who
can cook enough for two, play some
music and take care of a cozy four
room flat" His statement that he is
''twenty-four years old, a mechanic
with good position and 81 900 in the
bank, struck a chord in the hearts of
many, although there were some who
held themselves at a higher value.
Police Inspector Hunt. of Chicago,
in making Coler's plea public, was the
victim of joke which is amusing
Leavenworth.
The latest directory of the city
shows no such name as that of Her
bert F. Coler, nor is it to be found up
on the payrolls of any of the factories
here, and none of the city banks has
deposit to the credit of that name,
either of $1,000 or less. No. 3O2 n.

city playground is located and where
youngsters from all that neighborhood
congregate nightly in the pursuit of
amusement There is not a residence
in the block
II develops, however, that mail ad-
dressed to H. F. Coler has been de-
livered at the residence of John G.
Lachman, 399 n. I'd street, and for a
while the mail was heavy.
Lachman is member of Company
F, Thirteenth United States Infantry,
stationed at Ft. Leayenworth, living
with his wife at that number.
When Lachman was asked what he
knew about Coler he replied.
why. that whole thing. was just
started for joke-just to get letters
and pictures OF the girls to decorate
the walls of a room
Lachman was requested to arrange
for a meeting with Coier for the next
evening, and promised to do so, but the
man wanting Chicago wife failed to
keep the appointment.

Or. THOMAS DIES
At MINNEAPOLIS
Former Local Man, Well
Known as Physician, Poet
and a Lecturer.
palladium Specially

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 21.-
The late DIR. U. d. Thomas of Mime
apolis, who died last Saturday, was
widely known as poet and his writ
ings have much literary merit
DR.. Thomas was born in Springfield,
Ohio in 1928, and his first poem was
published in 1849, having been writ
ten when he was II years old. Shortly
after this he entered the Union Liter
ary Institute in jamestown, Ohio, and
later completed his medical education
at Richmond. Indiana, where he began
to practice in 1S49.
About that time he took farm near
Richmond which he christened the
Hard Bargain Farm" and there he
wrote his Hard Bargain Sketches"
which appeared in the old Richmond
Telegram
DIR. Thomas was twice married His
first wife, Miss Ruthanna Moore of
Richmond, was the daughter of the
we'll known writer, Mrs. Susannah F.
Moore, author of Hang Up the Babys
Stocking" and other familiar songs.
DR.. Thomas daughter, Mrs. c. A.
Thurman, was known in Minneapolis
as the Scotch poetess" having in
her father.
Many of DR.. Thomas lyrics and
poems have appeared in the Progress,
a local weekly publication.
He composed poetry on the street
and would stop sometimes in the mid
die of a crossing to take out his pad
and pencil and jot down verse or a
phrase that struck him. Poetry was
pastime, and it is told of him that
when he visited his convalescing pa
tients he would entertain them with
impromptu verse, describing the hap
penings of the day.
Love lyrics, blank verse and nara
tive were written by the poet. Most of
them are better than mediocre and
there is much that will endure.
Many of the poems written by DR..
Thomas have been preserved by his
friends, Frank G. OBrien and many
others that have never been publish
ed are now in the possession of his
son, Ernest Thomas.
DIR. Thomas, besides being a poet
and physician, was an able critic and
a lecturer much in demand. Most Of
his lectures were on psychic science.
DIR. Thomas has several local rela-
tives. b. Nj. Thomas, 1417 North C
street, being son, and the Misses
Ethel. Elizabeth and Hazel Thomas,
being granddaughters.

can ball player, and the greatest
utility player in the business.
The merry ha ha from the girls un-
nerved Crandall and he was knocked
out OF the box. The manager cussed
him and CrandalI, independent as a
suffraget, hiked to the farm near
Fowler, Ind, where for the balance
OF the season he cultivated the soil
assiduously.
Next spring the manager, unused
to such treatment begged Crandali
to return and Otis did. Before he
found his stride he hooked onto a
case OF appendicitis and while in a
hospital was drafted by the Giants
Manager McGraw drafted Crandall
for two reasons. One was he won
nine OF IL games when the Flirting
Floras slipped him the merry giggle

the most remarkable player In the

games won and four lost. When the
officials conned the figures he had The

He proved the all-American star since

This season Crandall has gone
ahead as before. AS a utility hitter,
shortstop, second and first baseman
he has been brilliant. He Is way up
among the pitchers. He hopes to
catch a championship game and Nc
Graw may let him.
Crandall is farmer-ball player. He
owns a neat corner of northern In

down Broadway on payday, he ships

AS a boy Crandall had control He
could flick fly from the plow horses

dirt that knocked pests from on the

and the muscles he developed show

- Says: -

The return of the buffalo, for which
the plains indian has iensed for ever
since the vast herds we're eliminated,
is not impbssible. -
True. great herds wIllfnever again
rove the Rrairies feeding upon tie
juicy grasses. The prairies have been
replaced with towns and the grass has
given away to crops.
But the buffalo can come back"
Uncle Sam says so in a pamphlet Is
sued by the bureau OF biological sur
vey upon the progress OF game pro-
lection In 1910.
OF the bison the report, based up
on the census OF the American Bison
society, shows total OF 2,l0S pure
blood buffalo in North America as
compared with 1,917 In 1908.
OF the 2,108 there are in captivity In
the United States, 1907, In Canada
626. and those running wild number
AIS. Corresponding figures In 1908
were Lie, AIS and 325. The decrease
of captive animals in this country IS
due TO purchase by the Canadian gov
eminent. r
The largest herds in captivity are
those OF Soldiers Creek park, Belvi-
dere. Kas.; the Pablo herd at Roman,
Mont; the Blue Mountain Forest as
ISOLATION herd at Newport, N. H.; the
Lille herd at Pawnee, Okla; the
Phillips herd at Pierre. S.. D.; the
Goodnight herd at Goodnight, Tex,
and the Dooley herd on Antelope
Island, Great Salt Lake. The outlaws
buffalo belonging TO Michel Pablo,
which have thus far dehed capture,
are supposed to number, rs.
Last fall q hunt was planned by
Pablo, but the state warden prevented
the hunt under an old Montana law
prohibiting the killing OF buffalo. in
the state. srs4 ssy-,
II Is seen from the report that the
buffalo have increased about 200 In
two years. This increase has been
confined chiefly to the wild herds,
which increased from 325 to 475 head,
proving that IL permitted TO roam the
buffalo will increase rapidly, whereas
increase Is reduced when the animals
are confined
II would be glorious thing to
bring back the buffalo. It would be-
a romantic event In the passing OF
the red men and splendid thing for
big game hunters in years to come,
when the law may be removed for
short periods, to make hunting the
buffalo permissible.

OF the Grand Rapids association, has
devised and will try out at the meet.
ing In the Furniture City week after
next. Kline has arranged TO handi-
cap horses by weight carried In a lit
tie saddle on the back OF the equine
The plan will be tried out In two han
dicap races.
These handicap events will be
sweepstakes races, one for PAGERS
with records of 2:0s or better, and
one for trotters with records OF 300
Or better. Here will be a chance for
the owners of trotters with records,
better than 2:04 TO take up little
weight and race for the money
against those having records slower
than 2;04 and up to 2:05, and the
same opportunity will be open to pac-
ers with fast records. IL Is conceded
on all sides that some system OF
handicapping, other than time rec
ords. Ia necessary on the harness
tracks and there are many horsemeQ
who have long believed that the
weight handicap would, rightly put
Into use, prove the most equitable
that could be adopted, but 1t has been
Rt the same time conceded that draw
ing extra weight in the sulky, did not
make much difference to many horses
as some of our best drivers already
carry close to fifty pounds over
weight.
Mr.. Kline's decision to give IL
trial deserves the fullest commando
ton, and Il Is to be hoped that the
plan of carrying extra weight on the
back may prove the truth OF Mr.
Kline's experiments, as many are ex-
tremely skeptical.
