RYAN GIVES $4,000.
Contributes Literally to Embellish-
ment of Confederate Memorial
Institute. -.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 27.-1t is re-
ported on excellent authority that
Millionaire Thomas Fortune Ryan has
made gift of $4,000 to the Confed-
crate Memorial Association, the or
ganization which has charge of the
magnificent institute now building in
this city on the boulevard, just north
of the Soldiers Home.
Lieutenant Governor Ellyson, pres
ident of the Association, declines to
discuss the matter this afternoon,
though he did not deny that gift
from Mr.. Ryan had been received.
He merely said that he had moth
ing to give out for the present.
A few days ago an artist of the
name of Charles Hoffhauer, bearing
a commission from Mr.. Ryan sailed
for Paris, and it is said that he had
orders to paint four decorations for
the institute.
These pictures probably will dec
crate the walls of the edifice. 1t is
said that one will show General Rob-
ert E. Lee and his staff mounted,
with Confederate flag above them.
Another will be typical of the ar
tillery, while third will depict a
cavalry charge and a fourth the in
fantry carrying an entrenchment.
It is estimated that the work of
completing the paintings will re-
quire two years. Sketches of the de-
signs were submitted to Mr.. Ely
son and to the executive committee
of the association.
1t is also reported that the organ
ization has purchased Matthew's s
big canvas, which is entitled 'The
Last of the Wooden Navy" and rep
resents the engagement between the
Merrimac and the Monitor. This
painting now hangs in the Governors
office.
Mr.. Ryan is known to be liberal
patron of the fine arts. 1t was his
money, which in large part, furnish
ed the portraits and other paintings
that adorned >Virginia's historic ex-
hibit at the Jamestown Exposition.
Report also says that he contributed
liberaly towards supplying the furn-
ishings for the exhibit.

Six Powers.

London, Sept. 27.-Applications to-
day for the $5000O,O00 issue of Chi
nese bonds which Birch, Crisp & Co.,
have undertaken to float indicated
heavy oversubscription.
The popularity of the A. Wendell
Jackson loan is body blow at the
British Foreign Office which, welded
to the Six Powers Syndicate has NAM
tained that it would be impossible for
China to raise money except by ac-
cepting the syndicate's rulnous
terms. The Liberal press uniformly
condemns the Foreign Office for sup
porting a group which, as the Daily
News oppressed it, has acted through
out in accordance with ''the tradition
of the bloodsucking money lender
1t vet remains to be seen however,
whether the syndicate, backed by the
British, American, French, German,
Russian and Japanese governments,
will not wreck the Jackson transac-
ton by suddenly demanding payment
of floating Chinese obligations it has
scraped together to swallow nearly
all the money China will Obtain
through Birch Crisp & Co.
Messages from China limited today
that if the syndicate does succeed m
| y.
this it is likely Chinese boycott Will
be declared against the Six Powers.
Just such boycott against Japan
| few years ago totally wiped out Jap
anese trade in China and ruined nun

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 27.-Ihe Board
of Public Education having rulep
chat no widows need apply for po-
sitions as school teachers" Superln-
tendent F. L. Hector today defining
the order said:
"Widows who apply for positions
as school teachers almost invariably
make stand for public sympathy; we
cannot be worried with them coming
around. for when they start, they are
most persistent; so that is why the
rule has gone out that, in the tu-
ture, no widows will be given posi-
tions in Pittsburgh's schools"
Meanwhile the superintendent is
getting his knocks, but 1t isn't
worrying him, because mats what he
is here for, he says.
"This rule does not apply to women
who taught in the Pittsburgh schools
before they became widows" said
the superintendent. at applies only
to new applicants We feel certain
sense of obligation to a woman who
already has given her younger years
to the children of the city. If she
resigns to marry, and misfortune over
takes her, compelling her to earn her
living, we feel she should be given
consideration"

met today with all business out Of
the way except the nominations. More

Hendricks and other wheelhorses
would have none of it and it fNWas de-
cided to let matters stand, pending
the action of the delegates.
Job Hedges was still the leading
candidate today with James W. Wads-

New York, Sept. 27.-Detectives
attached to the district attorneys of
flee today were investigating the
strange illness of Dora Gilbert, first
wife of the murderer gambler Herman
Rosenthal who declared that somebody
attempted to kill her by poisoning.
In Bellevue Hospital where Mrs.
Gilbert was taken, doctors said it
looked like case of knockout drops.
The woman was so dazed and in such
agony that she could give no coheren.
account of her actions prior to the a.
tack of sickness. She was in bed when
her family physician found her, semi
conscious.
Just before Rosenthal was assassl-
mated. Jack Rose, Harry Vallon and
Cam Schepps called on Dora Gilbert
and obtained her signature to an atil-
davit purporting to tell the story OF
her life with Rosenthal. The woman
told the District Attorney that one of
the three, in her presence, told Police
Lieut.. Becker over the phone that I'VE
have got what you want" 1t is said
that the prosecution regards her as a
valuable witness and the suggestion
that an attempt was made to murder
her set the district attorneys machlA-

Content to Remain in Jail as Long as
Food is Good, and Not Return to
Mexico. -.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Governmen'
officials admitted today that they were
up against it to decide what to do with
General Emilio Campo and his ten
followers now in Jail at Tucson, Ari-
zona, who were captured after they
had crossed the international line from
Mexico with their arms and imprison-
ed. There are strong probabilities
that the men may be allowed to &c
free and shift for themselves. Con-
trary to previous reports, it was
stated at the Department of Justice
today that Mexico had made no re-
quest for extradition. If eXtradlted
the Madero government would proba-
bly, execute them as common rebels
Realizing this situation, the men are
making no protest against incarcera,
tion and, according to the latest ad'
vices here, are content to stay IN jan
as long as the prison fare is good anc
they are safe from capture by the
Madero government.
Whether they could be extradited by
Mexico remains an unanswered ques'
tion with the probability that officials
here will come to the conclusion thai
there would be no warrant in law fol
returning them to Mexico. Uncle
SANS extradition treaty with Mexico
lust as many other treaties with for
eign nations, provides that this gov
ernment reserves the right to decline
to surrender refugees from other coun
tries when it can be shown that thf
offenders are accused only OF policl'
cal misdeamors. 1t has always
been the policy to give the widest lat.
itude to consideration of the cases ol
political offenders and this may re-
suit in the liberation without restric'
ton of Campo and his men.
At present they are being heIe
merely pending investigation" They
NAV be charged with entering the
country without proper immigration
inspection, in which case they mign'
be found guilty of violating the imml
grafton laws, but prosecutions in mos
such situations have generally bee!
