AssAlLANT NOT A TRAMP
Belief Grows In Sudbury That Local
Man Attacked Teacher

Rutland. Nov. 10.-The Rutland
county authorities are still in the
dark as to the identity OF the man
who criminally assaulted Miss Nellie
Meehan OF Starksboro, school
teacher at the school in Sudbury,
where she taught. last Monday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock Although states
attorney B. L. Stafford was COMPEL
ed to give his attention TO the trial
OF the Burt manslaughter case in
Rutland county court wednesday. he
sent Deputy Sherifs d A. Barker
and Henry r. Adams Of this city To
Sudbury to assist in prosecuting the
search for the fugitive who, up to
the present time. has eluded the
officers.
As news OF the affair spreads, var
ious lase clues have come to the
officers and these have all been run
down. They have come from vari-
GUS points between Vergennes and
Ludlow. Wednesday Deputies Adam
and Barker found carriage robe
and indications that man had been
eating raw cabbage In some bushes
about q mile from the scene OF the
assault Whether or not these have
anything 10 do with the man who at.
tackled Miss Meehan, has not been
ascertained
The idea that the assault was
made by tramp. which was at first
entertained. has now been practic
ally done away with, for It is not con
sidered likely that a stranger could
have known enough of Miss Nee
hans custom about going to the
schoolhouse to have accomplished
what the present fugitive from jus
tice did
The officers believe that II was a
deliberately planned assault and that
some one living In the vicinity who
would since have had opportunity 4

OF his heavy beard and putting OF

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Washington Correspond
ent of The Times.
BY Clyde II. Tavenner.

BY Clyde II. Tavenner.
Washington, Sept. One of the
New York financial papers which
has the interest of Wall street very
much at heart printed a Statement
following the recent disturbance il
the steel market to the effect that the
furry caused decline in steel shares
of approximately one hundred million
dollars.
In the three days of the furry
nearly one third of the trusts
$500, 100000 of common stock was
sold on the stock exchange in such
volume that the price was carried to
new low levels, thus showing that
one hundred millions in decline
represent the amount of money it is
worth to the trust to be considered
immune from the operation of the
Sherman law.
Nothing has happened to indicate
that anything is wrong with the
intrinsic value of the steel properties.
The mills are working as usual, and
are in exactly the same state of
efficiency they were in two years
ago when the stock was selling at it's
high water mark The shrinkage
came because of rumors that the
trust was to be prosecuted, and as
the busineSS-the real business-of
the trust was not injured in any way,
the one hundred millions simply
represents the excess profits the trust
stood to lose in the event of dissolu-
ton under the application of the
Sherman law. In other words the
shrinkage serves as measure of the
value to the trust of license to vio-
late the law. When that license was
threatened the trusts shares fell i'm
mediately, and this fall in prices,
simply as the result of scare, is
pretty sure to be used by the Demo-
Gratis as an argument for making Sc
curities keep down to their real value
through an enforcement of the anti
trust law.
Commenting on the fall of steel
prices, Chairman Stanley, of the
House committee which just now is
investigating the steel trust, said that
could better demonstrate the
necessity of enforcing the antitrust
law.
"lt is obvious" MIR. Stanley said, /
that the reason steel stocks fell
hundred million dollars is because
the trust was operating under an as
of immunity from prosecu-
lion under the antitrust act The
Instance that immunity was threat
ened, the stocks fell The very inse-
,urity of the basis on which the trust
rests, as thus shown, is sufficient

Admiral Schley is Dead.

admiral Scnley is LEAD.
New York, Oct. 2.-Rear-Admira
Winfield Scott Schley died suddenly
to-day near the corner of Forty-fourth
Street and Fifth Avenue while on his
way town town. The Admiral was
dead before medical aid could reach
him.
When the Democratic National
Convention met in Kansas City in
July, 1900, the name of Rear-Admiral
Schley was suggested several times
as the presidential nominee. But the
friends of the admiral pointed out
that he often had said of himself, 81
am sailor, not politician.
Rear-Admiral Schley was born in
Frederick County, Maryland, in 1889.
At the age Of II he got an appointment
to the United States Naval Academy
at Annapolis. OF his days there the
only anecdote that is told is that he
was called Peggy" by his fellow
midshipmen.
''He was fond of wearing his
trousers with huge pegs at the knee
and an extreme narrowness at the
bottom" one of them said of him not
long ago; "his purpose, think, "was
to display the smallness of his feet.
He was very proud Of his small feet"
His first cruise was to China and
Japan the year after his graduation.
The second year he was appointed to
the lieutenancy of the Niagara. At
the outbreak of the Civil war he
served on the Winona, and it was
here that he first was brought into
recognition that later resulted in his
securing a command. 1t is said that
the captain Of the vessel became
drunk one afternoon and that the
young lieutenant locked him in a
cabin and assumed control of the
ship.
1t was in February, 1893, that he
reached the rank of commodore.
When war was declared between the
United States and Spain he was
placed in command of the "Flying
SQnadron;" although he was the
of the commodores and the
owest in the list. 1t was May 10
hat he sailed from Hampton Roads
southwark with orders to find and
lestroy the Spanish fleet of Admiral
Cevera.
The evening of May % Schley
allied into Santiago harbor, and the .
spanish fleet was discovered lying
everal miles further in. The next
lay Schley set up the blockade that
vas maintained until July 8, when
spanish fleet attempted to escape.
The arrival of Admiral Sampson with
lis ships June l shifted the command,
sampson taking charge.
Admiral Sampson was away from
lis fleet the morning of July 8 in
difference with General Shafer, and
he honor for the destruction of the
panish fleet apparently belonged to
chley. He was aboard the Brooklyn
which took an active part in the
onflict. But a peculiar loop movement
hat he ordered to catch the fleeing
'hristobal Colon caused the Texas
D deviate from its course to escape
eing rammed. That movement
lanketed the fire of many of the
Their American vessels, and was
Investigated at a court of inquiry.
Tut the destruction of the Spanish
leet had been accomplished and the
eneral public held Commodore
chley as a national hero. He was
etired October 9, 1901, as a. rear
dmiral, and since that time has lived
uietly in and about New York.
.dmiral Schley was married to Anne
ebecca Franklin at Annapolis in

Wiley Still Handicapped.
President Taft's exoneration of DR..
Wiley carried with it to many minds
the impression that Wiley's authority
had been restored. That is a mistake.
The doctor remains nonenity as far
as enforcement of the pure food law is
concerned.
The board of food and drug inspec-
ton continues in control of the adj
of the pure food law. 1t
still consists of Wiley, McCabe and
Dunlap, and it is inconceivable that
their relations will be more harmon
ious because. of the failure of the
scheme of McCabe and Dunlap.
