COL WILSON DIES
FEDERAL PRISON
Once Head of United Wireless
Was Serving a Three
Year Sentence.

ATLANTA, Aug. 26.-Colonel c. C.
Wilson, 81. former president of the
United Wireless Company. died last
night at 10 o'clock at the United
States ~penitentiary here, where he
was serving a three-year sentence for
using the mails in attempt to de-
fraud. Uraemic poisoning was given
as the cause Of the colonel's death.
Colonel Wilson was stricken while
reading in the prison library at 7:50
O'Clock last night. Immediately he
was removed to the prison hospital.
where he died.
Prison officials said today that
Colonel Wilson had been enjoying
good health up to yesterday. The
colonel's young wife. to whom he was
married just before his conviction. a
little more than a year ago. has been
notified. Colonel Wilson began serv-
ing his sentence on August 20. 1911.
He was taken to New York last May
by one of the prison guards to tes-
tify in bankruptcy proceedings insti-
tuted against the United Wireless
Company. Several postponements of
the case necessitated his being held
in New York for more than a month.
and 1t became known hat the guard
was allowing him a great deal of per-
sonai liberty during that period. In
stead of being kept in the Tombs he
was permitted to stay in a private
house. On one occasion, 1t Is said,
he was seen near his former haunts
in Wall Street.

NEWARK MAN CAN'T TELL
HOW HE LOST $1,000 CASH
Even Slow Philadelphia Proved
to Be Too Much for Brady.

That his mind IL a bit hazy yet as
TO what happened to him in Phila-
delphia Saturday was the statement
made by Charles Brady, of 1877 Ferry
street, today. Grady went to MA
delphia with ST. 400 tucked away in
= wallet with the intention Of buying
a boarding house,
The money had been i%ntrusted IN
Ills care by his sister, Miss Katherine
Brady, of the same address. Brady,
who had been visiting a friend, Mrs.
Laura Mckinley, of 462 North Frank
lin street, woke up on the doorstep
OF her house shortly before midnight
Saturday to discover that $1,000 of
his bank-roll was missing.
On a warrant sworn out by Brady
Mrs. Mckinley was arrested, but was
discharged for lack of evidence. Brady
said this morning that he could no.
say for certain that the woman had
taken the money. He admitted that
he had visited a couple of saloons
but denied that he was intoxicated.
His mind was in a haze yet, he said,
and he could not account for the
disappearance of the money. Tlree
years ago Brady is said to have lost
$500 in a similar manner

HIS NOMINATION
Simply Gives Out Letter for

TERRE HAUTE. Aug. 26.-In
marked contrast to the notification
ceremonies of other political parties
the Socialist Presidential nominee.
Eugene v. Debs, today accepted his
nomination by simply informing the
newspapers that they were at liberty
to print his address of acceptance.
which he had sent them in printed
form.
No committee called on Mr.. Debs
and there was an entire lack of cere-
mony of any kind. The extreme sim
plicity of the occasion was marked
further by Mr.. Debs's preparations
for a trip to Fergus Falls, Mimi ;,
where he will speak tomorrow night.
In his letter Mr.. Debs says his
chief as q candidate is to
serve well the party and the class
and the cause the party represents.
1.-THE Republican, Democratic and
Progressive parties" he adds, 'ali
stand for the private ownership by
the capitalists of the productive
machinery used by the workers, so

of labor belong to labor and that the

of bribing Talesman George N. Lock-
wood. The jury was out only a few
minutes.
Presiding Judge George Hutton
announced that he would not
preside at the trial on a second in

man Robert Balm. The other judges
followed his lead,
