SILENCE ALARMS WIFE
OF SHUSTER'S AUDITOR
Mrs. Frank G. Whitney Fears
for Safety Of Husband,
in Persia.

Mrs. Frank G. Whitney, wife of the
auditor of Persia, who is. directly under
Shuster, is now in Baltimore with her
mother, Mrs. E. E. Hagerman. Although
Mrs. Whitney has not heard from her
husband for almost a month, and the last
letter she got from him was from Tehe-
ran, which is the seat of the greatest
trouble, she is inclined to believe that II
anything had happened to him she would
have heard of it through the State De-
partment.
However, this does not diminish her
fears in regard to what may happen to
her husband. Until she received the
last letter Mrs. Whitney had heard
regularly from Mr.. Whitney, but in
none of his letters had he said any
thing about the trouble which Is now
going on.
When seen at the home Of her mother
today Mrs. Whitney wore worried
look, according to advices from Balti-
more. but showed that she is making
every possible effort to remain calm
and look for the best. She admitted.
however. that she is much worried. but
thinks that the reason she has not
heard from her husband for almost
month is due to the delay in the mails
caused by the war.
Mrs. Whitney was formerly Miss
Miriam A. Hagerman. daughter of Mrs.
E. E. Hagerman and the late Rev.
Martin L. Hagern1an of Baltimore.
She was engaged to Mr.. Whitney when
he was appointed auditor of Persia, under
Mr.. Shuster. That made it necessary for
hasty marriage, and October "A last
Mr.. Whitney went to Baltimore and the
wedding took place.
The same night the couple came. to
Washington and later they sailed for
Paris. There they parted and Mrs.
Whitney returned to her mothers home
and her husband continued to the orient
In his letters to Mrs. Whitney, the
auditor said he liked the work, and told
her Of the country which was to be his
new field.
Mr.. Whitney was formerly auditor for
the receivers Of the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis, r~-ilway and was
also head bookkeeper for the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company. His
home is in Washington. He is twenty
six years old, and the son Of Mr.. Stephen

this city. A.~<..

Robbers in Automobile Hold Up Cou-

CHICAGO, December Mrs. Kauf-
mann and her husband. Edmund Kauf-
mann, were returning from the opera to-
night and were directly in front of their
home at 651 Roscoe street. on the north
side, when an automobile came up behind
them and stopped at the curb.
Three men were in the machine and
two of them got out. One commanded
the Kaufmanns to hold up their hands.
Mrs. Kaufman, frightened. stepped back
and her husband moved toward the rob-
bers to protect her.
Fearing an armed resistance, be-
cause Mr.. Kaufman moved his hand
toward his pocket, the rObber fired
twice.
Mrs. Kaufman fell dead to the walk
and the robbers jumped back into the
automobile and the machine went
north on Sheridan road at a rapid pace.

of the officials in the personal welfare
of the young American official, who, it
is reported. has been threatened with
assassination as the easiest method OF
removing him as an obstacle to the ee-
velopment of the authority of European
powers. Therefore American Minister
Russell was charged to look after Mr..
Shuster's personal safety.
While the State Department has not
ofdcially notified the Russian govern
ment that 1t disclaims any responsible
ity for any of Mr.. Shuster's official
actions, of course that government has
taken notice of the unofficial statements
to that effect that have emanated from
the department.
It is not believed here that the at
tempt will be made to have him expelled
from Persia, for he has. certain treaty
rights of residence and travel as an
American citizen which the State De-
partment probably would be obliged to
defend.

Cost of the Trial Heavy.

Money flies fast, very fast he said,
land in a case like this it has wings. OF
course. the trial to date didn't cost much,
but preparation of the handling of wit
nesses and evidence exhausted much of
the funds.
"A greater part already has been spent
and an accounting will be rendered as to
every detail. We have been up against
it for funds right along. We have been
wondering for some time how we could
ever get very far with the means at our
disposal"
The Mcnamara brothers spent the day
quietly. They wrote many letters and
walked about the Jail corridors for exer-
else. They read the newspaper accounts
of yesterdays events. and according to
the jailers, their cheerful air was in no
wise affected thereby.

Ortie McManigal, who was to have been
q leading witness for the state and who
is indicted jointly with ]. J. Mcnamara
for the dynamiting of the Llewellyn iron
works, hopes for freedom, It was an
nounced today.
Malcolm McLaren, representative OF the
special agency that brought about the ar
rest Of the trio, said today that District
Attorney Fredericks had promised to try
to get him off and would do his best.
The penalty in California for dynamiting
runs from one year to life. McLaren
said his information was that James b.
Mcnamara declared he harbored no re-
sentiment against Mechanical now.
It could not be learned tonight that any
change in the local situation had been ef-
fected by resolutions adopted elsewhere
urging the extreme penalty for James b.
Mcnamara This matter, under the law,
is In the hands of Judge Walter Bordwell,
who presided over the trial during It's
eight arduous weeks OF life. The judge
may hear and the district attorney may
make recommendations as to the penalty
to be imposed.

Wallace Mclean sprung 1t by presenting
Mr.. Fox with a pair of silver candle

recently taken on the responsibilities Of

Will Be Made Plain in Time.

'"They will all understand in time" he
said. 81 never told Samuel Gompers or
any one else that j. B. Mcnamara was
innocent. / always have believed. how
ever. that John ]. had nothing to do with
the Times disaster, though / learned OF
his connection with the Llewellyn explo-
sion. Whatever information came to Mr..
Gompers about the guilt or innocence OF
the McNamaras probably came from the
accused men themselves"
Attorney barrow declared furthermore
that he originally did not want to defend
the McNamaras. but had been persuaded
to do so by labor leaders. Even on learn
ing of their guilt later. he said. he felt he
was right in saving human life. Attorney
Darrow does not believe in capital pun
ishment.
Most of all difficult attacks to bear. II
was apparent, was that which. involved
the Mcnamara defense fund. Attorney
barrow confirmed the fact that $4,000
had been raised for the two brothers.
and had been at his disposal. Confronted
with the statement that labor leaders
expected that much of this would be re-
funded, he answered that he couldn't see
how il could be done.

Fredericks Is Undecided.

District Attorney Fredericks said today
that he had not decided whether he would
ask for clemency, but he added:
when a man pleads guilty, particu-
larly in this case, 1t saves the state
great deal of money and work. The
state always is willing to take this into
consideration. and is inclined to look
with leniency upon the offender.
While Judge Bordwell has refused TO
commit himself in any way, persons
close to him said he was pleased with
the manner in which the trial had ter
minated.
Friends of Attorney Darrow fear that
he is on the verge of physical break
down. In the last few nights he mas
tossed about restlessly in his sleep ana
he has eaten little. His face today was
white and haggard. Never before, he ad-
mitted, had he encountered so terrible a
strain. He was optimistic about ms
health. however. saying he had faith In
his strong constitution.
Feeling that he had done his best Tor
the McNamaraS, Attorney Darrow re-
ceived in bitter silence the attacks whicn
he assumed to be aimed at him IN COM
mentS of labor leaders.

Local Stores Affected.

Under the new law women in Wis
consin are limited to ten hours work
daily in stores, factories and the like.
This law will affect many clerks in
Watertown, especially in the dry
goods stores The law limits the to-
tai number of hours a week to fifty
five. No definite action has as yet
been taken in Watertown by the pro-
prietors of dry gods stores but it is
pretty certain that the stores will
hereafter be closed on Wednesday
evening, and the hours will be ar
ranged SO that they can remain open
on Saturday evening. This can be
done by fixing a later hour On that
day when work is resumed in the
morning.
1t seems to be the opinion among
business men that by closing on
Wednesday evening and arranging
the hours differently than at present
on other days they can comply with
the law without any loss of business.
The probable SCHEDULE of hours will
be from o'clock to with one hour
for lunch, on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
On Saturdays the stores may open at
8 o'clock in the morning and close at
o'clock at night, with an hour off at
noon and in the evening.

Riverview is the only park in the world
that had the courage to put half mil

feature about the amusement park idea
this summer is the demand for exciting
rides of the thriller" type. Riverview
has more of these than any other park in
the world, and they are crowded with
riders all the time. Aside from all these
expensive shows and rides, Riverview
has one asset that other parks in Chicago
would pay thousands of dollars for
great acres and acres of shady trees and
green grass. Riverview also employs
none but the best bands, which give con-
