DENIED BY WILSON FIRES FOUR SHOTS'
Secretary of Agriculture Says
He Has Not Resigned.
IN ACCORD WITH TAFT
Declares He Has Not Written to the
President About Giving
Up His Place.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson re-
turned to Washington from Chicago late
yesterday afternoon and denied the re-
port that he had submitted his resignation
to President Taft, to take effect Novem-
Der 10.
Il have not written any letter of resig-
nation to the President said Secretary
Wilson, and have no intention of doing
so So far as l know we are in perfect
accord. l have made several trips re-
Gently to represent the President In
past presidential campaigns 1 have taken
the stump. and, although it is bit early
yet to speak of such matters, l thor
oughly expect to do the same thing this
time If I do so it will be in support OF
the administration"
Secretary Wilson doesn't think much
will come of the insurgent republican
meeting which was held In chicago Whi!e
he was there to further Senator LaFol-
lette's candidacy for the presioential
nomination next year. He doesn't take
the movement seriously.
Movement Not Taken Seriously.
Il have seen many such movements to
form a practically new party come and
CO." he said, land have noticed that
most of them come to nothing. / think
the present one will have the same end
Ing I do not think the meeting should
be given too much significance. Even the
western papers did not take the meeting
with any great amount of seriousness.
LAS to the presence of Mr.. Garfield at
the gathering, 1 notice by the newspaper
reports that he kept comparatively silent
and arrived in Chicago very quietly. His
coming was not heralded. as was the ar
rival Of some others. OF course, I know
nothing about his future intentions or
what attitude toward the movement he
will take.
II arrived in Chicago at just about the
time those who took part in the insurgent
meeting were leaving, and therefore did
not have the opportunity of meeting any
of them or finding out just what they
were doing. But remember other move
ments which created lots Of stir when
they were in progress, but which soon
died out
The Secretary expressed the opinion
that while the bureau Of chemistry was
still somewhat upset. conditions would
improve In the near future and that the
machinery would be running smoothly.

more they have trailed him from place to
place, and yesterday they located him In

Wanted IN this city to answer a charge
of desertion from the Engineer Corps, U.
s. A. and two charges Of having passed
worthless checks. John W. Pieper. ma
tive of Dusseldorf, Germany, yesterday
afternoon was arrested in the Nippissing
district, on the extreme northern border
of Canada, and locked up. Inspector
Boardman and Detectives Weldon and
Burlingame, who have been trailing him
on both sides of the ocean since the mid
die of January, located him at Cochrane
yesterday about noon.
A response to the request for his ar
rest was received from ]. D. r. Jamison,
chief constable at Cochrane, about 5
o'clock in the afternoon. The message
told of the capture OF the alleged de-
serter and dealer in worthless checks and
asked that an officer with the necessary
papers be sent for him.
Two Indictments Against Pieper.
Two indictments alleging the obtaining
of money by false pretenses have been
returned against Pieper. One charges
that he obtained 500 from Karl Acliter-
kirchen, who is in the saloon business at
2O5 eth street northwest, while the other
alleges that he passed a check for 500 at
the stand of the n. Auth Provision Com
pany in the Center market. The police
say they have learned that he victim1zed
others by passing checks Tor smaller
sums, but the names of the alleged VIC
tins are not known by them.
Search for Pieper was started by the
police about the middle of January, and
he was located in Dusseldorf during the
summer Some doubt existed as to their
ability to have him extradited from Ger
many on account of the wording OF the
extradition treaty, and the expense OF
bringing him back was also considered.
1t was decided, therefore, Inspector Board
man said this morning, not to ask the
Dusseldorf authorities to apprehend him.
Tracked to Baltimore.
About four weeks ago the police learned
that Pieper had visited Baltimore and
sent for his wife, who was living here, to
come over to see him. Mrs. Pieper spent
a day in Baltimore with her husband,
where. they were informed. he was known
as Williams, and where he contracted an
automobile bill of $147, having gained the
confidence of the chauffeur by settling
one bill and giving a tip of several dol
lars.
Detectives went to Baltimore shortly
after the return of Mrs. Pieper, but Pie.
per could not be found They learned
that he had presented a check for 500
in payment of the automobile bill, but
1t was not accepted.
Located in Canada.

Numerous changes in the APP
pearance of the beautiful grounds
of this famous resort are being
made by DR.. Montgomery, the
new man, who has recently pur-
chased the controlling interest in
the property, all with view of
adding to it's attractiveness. The
unsightly building which stood at
the entrance to the grounds, has
been removed and its site sown to
grass once more. Visitors all re-
mark the wonderful improvement
this one thing has done to restore
the view from the gate to its for
mer beauty.
The foundation for the new
building is being rapidly pushed
to completion and the superstruct-
ion will soon add to the hotel ac-
commodations.
Sunday night the electric lights
throughout the grounds and build
ings were ia full service, making
a brilliant scene.
The water works are being re-
constructed and sanitary system
added to with a view of making a
thoroughly efficient service in both
parts of the system. This work
is in charge of Mr.. August Sch

country and Europe. He has al
