Now Relatives of Dead Husband Are

May Have Suiclded.

Minneapolis, Sept. S.-The elope-
ment Of l.. w. Plotner, former sheriff
Of Davidson county, South Dakota,
within an hour of the death of his
wife, caused relatives of Peter Albert
Quinn, formerly of Minneapolis. to
leave this city for Mitchell, S. D..
with the intention Of placing mur-
der charge against Plotner.
Quinn died in Mitchell, August 81,
1909, and 1t was with his wife that
Plotner eloped following the death
OF Mrs. Plotner last Friday. Plotner
and Mrs. Quinn were arrested in
Omaha Tuesday night and are being
taken back to Mitchell.
There the pair under arrest will be
met by the Quinns, most Of whom are
residents Of Minneapolis. They
charge that Plotner with the assist
ance OF Mrs. Peter Albert Quinn and
q mysterious person whose name is
being kept secret, developed and car
ried to contamination a plot to MUIR
der Quinn and to make his death ap-
pear suicide.
The Quinns charge that Plotner,
while sheriff used his authority to
keep Quinn in Jail much of the time,
finally drove him from the town and
later conspired with others to MUIR
der him. All this was done, they
say, to enable the sheriff, whose wife
was an invalid, to gain the unfettered
affections Of Mrs. Quinn.
1t Is charged that Mrs. Plotner
ended her life because of Plotner's
attentions to Mrs. Quinn.

New York Experiences Anoth-

New York, Sept. s.-Just when the

Giuseppe Castabile, "the fox" had

today in the heart >of the Italian
colony in front of the Offices Of some
prominent Italian bankers and steam
ship agents. No one was hurt, but
the mortal effect Of the outrage COM

colony had been lulled to fancied So

Instead Of causing the police to
lose faith, however, in their belief
that in Castabile they have the bomb
leader of New York's Italian crimes,
the occurances is regarded as q
threat Of vengeance. Castabile's as

expected to indict Castabile for violat-

ton Several Years.

New York, Sept S-The Indictment
of Nathan Allen and John r. Collins
for smuggling the Jenkins jewels, it
was learned today, is only one step in
the governments prosecution of Gus
toms frauds.
A banker even more prominent and
wealthy than these millionaires of
Kenosha, Wis, and Memphis, Tenn,
is said to be under investigation and
IL the federal authorities can accom-
plish his arrest, it is said, they hope
to reach the bottom of an interna-
tional scandal involving many others,
including gem dealers and minor Gus
toms employees. The alleged frauds
cover a period of several years and
it is reported that the banker under
suspicion enabled his friends also to
benefit by his carefully laid scheme.
Demand was made today by United
States District Attorney Wise that
Allen and Collins appear here within
ten days to plead to the indictments
charging them with smuggling gems.
Letters were sent by Mr.. Wise to the
attorneys for the indicted men, who
are reputed to be millionaires, sa''ing
that he expected their appearance
within the time specified.
The indictments against the men,
which, in addition to the smuggling
charge, allege that they were parties
to a conspiracy to defraud the gov
ernment out of customs duty, speci-
fically mention pearl valued at $780,
900, a necklace of five strands of
pearls with diamond and ruby clasp
and a diamond bracelet as among the

BOURNE'S CHOICE
Thinks Wisconsin Colleague Will Be
Next President.

Washington, Sept. s.-senator JON
athan Bourne Of Oregon announced
yesterday that he is in favor of Sena-
tor La Toilette for Republican candi-
date for president against President
Taft. Mr.. Bourne is the founder and
the president of the National Republi-
can league. which sprang into being
during the last session of congress.
In an interview yesterday, the Oregon
senator said:
"Why have I for months been 80
insistently for Senator La Toilette for
president? Because he has many of
the qualifications which, believe, are
absolutely necessary for man to
possess in order properly to fill the
high Office of the nations chief public
servant. He believes in popular, not
general welfare, not selfish interest.
must be the motive power Of all sue
cessful and permanent government.
He is honest. courageous, able. dy-
manic, with twenty-five years expert
ence in legislative and executive life.
Though radical in manner, he is ex-
tremely conservative in thought and
action, with high ideals, broad ideas,
and strong convictions. General well
fare is his goal, and selfish interest
his abomination.
II urge the big business interests
of the country to study the laws Of
Wisconsin, enacted since he was first
governor of that state; hold him as
the dynamic personality Of that elec-
torate, responsible for all those laws.
II investigation shows them to be pro-
tective Of personal liberty and prop
erty rights. then support him for pres
ident. If destructive of personal lib
erty or property rights, bitterly op-
pose his candidacy. Such an investi-
cation will show Wisconsin laws to
be constructive. not destructive; pro-
gressive. not reactionary; intelligently
conservative, not blindly radical.
Senator La Toilette is a statesman,
not a politician; a deep thinker. not a
demagogue. His candidacy presents
an opportunity to nominate and elect
a president on his record, and not on
another mans Endorsement or promise
to follow in another's footsteps. He
can, and, in my opinion, will be nomi-
mated, and, II nominated, will unques-
tionably be elected"

Emerson. Man., Sept. s.-A large
ana representative meeting of citizens.
called by the board of trade, was held
at the town hall last night to take
into consideration the contemplated
move on the part Of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railways of
running United States crews through

emphatic in registering strong pro-
test against the proposed schedule,
which is announced to come into ef-
feet on the 18th, and a committee was
appointed to take any action they
thought advisable to stop the running
OF alien crews on Canadian territory
for Canadian business.
The matter has already been re-
ferred to the department Of labor at
Ottawa by DR.. Molloy, former Mp. for
Provencher, and the federal authors
ties have signified their intention of
going into the matter thoroughly, and
1t is thought the workings of the alien
labor act will be sufficient to put a
quietus on the project
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that the American officials are very
strict in not allowing Canadian crews
to run into terminals in United States
territory. the C.N.R. running into Du-
luth being instanced, the train having
been held up for hours awaiting the
arrival Of an American crew. The
citizens are very pronounced against
the proposed new order Of things,
which would work detrimental to
