An Elk County Mystery

One of the most notorious murder
ers known to the United States lived
in Elk county, Pennsylvania, about
the middle of the last century. His
crimes were innumerable, and were
nor all committed within the bounds
of Pennsylvania. So picturesque,
however, is the mans character that
tbe fact that he lived in Elk county
entities his record to place in The
North Americans series of Pennsyi-
vania's greatest criminal mysteries.
II is one of the greatest stories OF
Il kind ever printed, and will appear
next Sunday, May 20. One OF TINS
series is published in The Norsn
American every Sunday. They are
attracting wide attention among
,awers and criminologists, and or
the part Of the general public.

Evening Schools.

Evening schools owe their existence
to the Rev. Thomas Charles. who about
1911 set up one at Bala- Wales, which
proved to be quite successful In 1889
or 1S40 the English Bishop Kinds
strongly recommended such schools for
poor adults. who, on account of en-
forced labor. had no chance to secure
an education The idea was taken in
hand by the British privy council in
1851, and from that date evening
schools began to be considered serious
iy. At the present time they are nu-
merous throughout Great Britain,
America and many other leading ma

MEXICO IS WARNED
NO MORE BULLETS MUST LAND
ON AMERICAN SOIL,
SAYS TAFT.
U. S. TROOPS MAY INTERFERE
After White House Conference Ulti-
matum Is Sent Diaz-Gen. Bliss
Instructed to Prevent Recurrence
of Aqua Prleta Affair.

Notwithstanding warning
to the government of Mexico that it
refrain from selecting places for their
battles with the insurrectionists
which would menace American lives
and property was sent to the City Of
Mexico.
Acting on instructions from the
president, the war department has ad-
vised its military officers along the
frontier and especially near Aqua
Prieta, to prevent a recurrence of the
incidents of the battle at that place
by which non-combatant American
citizens in Douglas, Ariz., were killed
and wounded.
The British cruiser Shearwater
landed marines at San Quentin, Lower
California, to protect British citizens
at that place and has moved from
San Quentin to Ensenada.
The foregoing are three Of the most
important developments in the Next
can situation, which is described Of
ficially by the administration as acute.
While the administration is disposed
to regard the affair at Aqua Prieta as
an incident" of warfare, the official
opinion is that the recurrence Of such
Incidents would precipitate an ex-
tremely grave crisis.
All the departments Of the govern
ment are apparently exercising the
most friendly regard for the Mexican
government. In fact, it is officially
stated that the troubles in Mexico are
Of such a character that it requires all
possible self-restraint on the part of
this government in dealing with the
situation.
The administration is disposed to
think that the presence of American
citizens near the battle at Aqua Prieta
was unnecessary and that many of
them put themselves voluntarily in
danger. But aside from that fact the
dispatches show that the mauser
bullets found innocent people in their
homes on the American side and that
one girl was shot.
No sooner had the facts been ascer-
tanned than a conference was called
by the president at the White House.
There were present Secretary Of War
Dickinson, Attorney General Wicker
sham, Acting Secretary Of State
Huntington Wilson and Solicitor
Clarke of the state department.

STORMS TOLL GROWS
MORE THAN SCORE KNOWN DEAD
IN SOUTHWEST.
by Tornadoes in Kansas, Okla
homa, Arkansas and Missouri.

st. Louis.-The most destructive
storm here since the great cyclone
of May 81, 1895, struck the city
with terrific force causing three
deaths and many thousands dollars
of damage. A heavy downpour of rain
was accompanied by a terrific wind,
hail, lightning and thunder.
The dead include a driver of team
of mules, who, with his mules, was
electrocuted by running into a live
wire; woman who succumbed to
fright, and another woman who was
killed in a runaway. The horse she
was driving took fright during the
storm.
Houses were blown down in the out
skirts of the city, and in the northern
district an eight-story elevator, con-
tanning 100000 bushels of wheat, val
ued at $750,000, was blown into the
Mississippi river
The storm came as thousands were
on their way home from down town.
AS windows in the street cars were
broken, the excitement Appropriated
a panic.
Four negroes are known to be dead,
a number injured, one seriously, and
three missing, following a tornado
which wrecked the town of Wales
Mines, Mo, forty miles southwest of
here
Kansas City, Mo.-Although the
weather is fair throughout the
tornado-swept districts of Kansas,
Oklahoma, western Missouri and north
ern Arkansas, the major portion of the
telephone and telegraph wires are still
down and only meager reports of the
death and destruction wrought by the
storm Wednesday are obtainable.
1t now appears that at least nine
teen persons were killed. The list of
injured will number more than one
hundred.
The monetary loss in Kansas alone
is estimated to be in excess of $780,
900. 1t is thought the damage in other
sections visited by the storm will
bring the total to more than 81 100000.
Hundreds of houses, barns and other
buildings were destroyed.

TAFT OPPOSED TO RECALL
Outlines His Position on Judges in
Letter Relative to Provision
for Arizona.

hington.-President Taft has
outlined briefly his opposition to
the recall of judges provided for in
the constitution of Arizona in letter
to Chairman Flood Of the house COM
mittee on territories. His letter was
in answer to a verbal proposal made
by Flood several days ago that legis-
lation be enacter relieving the presi-
dent of the necessity of passing upon
the Arizona constitution and putting
the responsibility for its approval or
disapproval up to congress alone.
The president explained to Mr.
Flood, it was said at the White House,
that if such a resolution were passed
and sent to him his approval would
practically mean an approval of the
Arizona constitution and the recall Of
judges.
The president explained, however,
that at present he did not know what
position he might take if such a reso-
luton were submitted to him.

Adopts Anti-EIections Campaign
Contribution Measure.

Washington.-By a practically
unanimous vote the house passed the
anti-elections campaign contributions
bill and then swung Immediately into
consideration of the Canadian reci-
procity bill.
Democratic leaders have plunged
now into their tariff revision work
and there is to be no let-up until the
legislative program has been carried
through the house. Consideration Of
the reciprocity bill will be continued
until vote has been taken on it's
final passage by the house. Chairman
Underwood gave notice that he would
not attempt to- restrict consideration
or limit debate and that ample time
would be given all members desiring
to discuss the terms of the .reciprocas
arrangement.

An unusually peculiar damage suit
has just been decided in New York
by which the widow of a fire chief
has been awarded $4,000 for the loss
of his life in a furniture establish
ment fire. The chief fell through an
open well hole in the building into
cellar half filed with water and was
drowned before he could be rescued
The open well hole was in violation
of a city ordinance This suit, with
It's large damages, will help to en-
phasize the highly important fact that
such ordinances are intended to pre-
vent just such accidents, and that dis
regard of them leads to criminal and
civic liability when a life is lost
There are many ordinances of the
kind held lightly in regard until a
fatal accident shocks the authorities
into enforcement.

HINES UNDER FIRE
BUSINESS RIVAL TELLS OF LUM-
BERMAN'S BOAST ABOUT
LORIMER'S ELECTION.
THOUGHT 1T WAS EGOTISM
Packer TiIden Objects to Giving In
quiry Committee Access to His
Bank Deposit Observation-Disclosures
Developments Are Related.

Springfield, Ill-Edward Tilden, the
the Helm committee here. He is alleg-
ed to have been treasurer of the Lori
mer 100000 fund.
After naming the different banks in
which he carries accounts, he declared
he had strenuous objections to giving
up his records of deposits in the Dro-
vers' Deposit National bank, of which
he Is president. The questions of At
torney Healy, conducting the examina-
ton for the committee, brought out
that subpoena had been issued for
these papers, but that they had not
been obtained.
Mr.. Ttlden was served with a sub
poena duces tecum to produce the
books and accounts of his bank de-
sired by the committee.
Herman H. Hettler of Chicago, pres
ident of the Herman H. Hettler Lum-
Der company, told the committee that
Edward Hines declared to him he had
elected Lorimer. He said he met Mr.
Hines at the Union League club IN
Chicago May 20, 1909
"This meeting" said Mr.. Hettler,
occurred by accident at the cigar
stand in the club. / stopped In the
Union League club on the day OF Sen
ator Lorimer's election. AS l was
buying some cigars felt tap on my
shoulder. 1 looked around and met
Mr. Hines.
"Mr. Hines was apparently elated
and happy. He said: 7 have just nao
a telephone call from Springfield ana
have elected our next senator.
81 was not much interested IN the
senatorial fight and with view Oh
changing the subject brought up the
subject of the tariff" Mr.. Hettler add
ed. "Mr. Hines said that he had oeen
having a great time in Washington
and that he (Hines) had beaten Presl-
dent Taft on the tariff"
Mr.. Hettler declared under cross-ex-
animation that Mr.. Hines had SAID
nothing to him regarding money or the
use Of improper methods in the cleo
ton of Lorimer.
4 simply took Mr.. Hines actions as
an outburst of personal vanity or
egotism. He was Dragging, more or
less. about the election OF Mr.. Lori
mer."
M. B. Coan, investigator for the COM
mittee, followed Mr.. Hettler with
story of a conversation of Mr.. Hines
with several citizens Of Marquette,
Mich. in which the Chicago lumber
man is said to have boosted how he
rose from a poor boy to millionaire
and crowned his career by elect1ng
William Lorimer senator.
Mr.. Coan declared that the Mar
uuette men who had given him the
story had refused to come to Illinois
as witnesses because of their friend
ship for Mr.. Hines. AS a substitute
for their testimony Mr.. Healy read
afidavits from Frank Russell, Robert
C. Lowe and I. D. Mosher. The Hines
conversation was supposed to have
been at either Bush's saloon or at a
hotel bar. Russell, Selby B. Jones
and Russ Culver are said in the Aft
davits to have been with Mr.. Hines.
We have put Lorimer over, but 1t
cost US a lot of money" was alleged to
have been Hines boast.
