HAWLEY HAD ONLY FEW
MILLIONS, SAYS RUMOR

New York, Feb. 13.-The
rumor that instead of leaving
some $40,OO0,OO0, Edwin Hawley,
the railroad king, died worth only
a few millions, is current here to-
day.
1t is said that Haw1ey went
money mad" in the last two
years of his life, that he gave up
his real business of practical rail
reading for speculation, and suf-
fered the usual loss.
And meantime, Margaret Cam
eron, the girl who mthe world
knew as the niece" of Hawley,
has barricaded herself in the late
railroad kings country home at

Babylon, N. Y.
Miss Cameron says she will
not leave the place until she is
promised her share of Hawley's
estate by the other heirs. She
says she has will left by Haw-
ley in her keeping, but will not
show it to any one.
Mrs, Frederick Crandall, wife
of the once favorite nephew
whom Hawley had thrown out of
his office by a policeman, refused
to believe that Hawley's fortune
had dwindled to few million
dollars.
"He was too mean," she said
today. Edwin Hawley never
speculated. He was not that
sort"
But Wall street shakes its head.
Not that Wall street does not adj
NIT Hawley's meanness. Wall
street openly agreed with young
Frederick Crandall, who, as he
was being flung out of his uncle'S
offices, shouted at that uncle:
eff rattlesnake ever bites
you it will die of it; that's how
mean you are"
Hawley, indeed, had reputa-
ton for selling out his friends"
on Wall street. But Wall street
knows that even mean men fall
under the easy money glamor,
and they say Hawley did, and
that his vast fortune was lost ION
the street"

BODY RECOVERED WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AFTER SEVERAL
HOURS DRAGGING.
HIS HORSE ALSO DROWNED
Young Man of Fine Character, Good
Business Qualifications and .FiIial
Devotion--No One Present and Ac.
cident Mystery.

Some time during the late after
noon Tuesday Herman Davis a
young man of about twenty-five
years of age, who lived In the Left.
wich community with his widowed
mother, lost his life in Duck river.
His home was on the Titcomb farm
near the Sowell ford and he started
across the river to Hardison's store
after some farming utensils. Failing
to return at bed time, uneasiness as
to his safety was entertained, but
nothing was done until Wednesday
morning when search was insttut-
ed. Some distance below the ford
the horse and buggy was found wash.
cd up on shallow place, the horse
being drowned and still attached to
the vehicle. The unfortunate mans
bat was found little further down,
and the work of dragging the river
began at once. All Wednesday fore
noon the dragging continued, and
when his friends and searchers had
about despaired of finding any trace
of him the body was found about sew.
enty-five yards below where the bug
gy was located in ten foot water.
The body was carried to the home of
bis mother, aud the burial will take
place at the family graveyard in Mar
shall county. Dr. Baxter conducted
the funeral at the grave.
Herman Davis was an exceptional
Young man and was highly esteemed
in the community where he lived.
Ee was the only support Of his moth.
er, Mrs, Matte Davis, and was deyot-
ed to her and had stayed about home
very closely. He had $4,000 life in
surance payable to his mother. He
had one sister, Miss Sallie Davis,
who holds responsible business po-
sition in Chattanooga.
The ford where the tragedy occur.
red Is between ten and eleven miles
from Columbia on the Sowell Mill
like, and the river was rather full
and the water very swift, and It is
supposed that the young man mis-.
judged its depth and had his vehicle
overturned by the current and was
perhaps drowned before he ever got
free from the buggy.

INCORRlGIBLE
GIRL IS TO Be
PLACED IN HOME

Charges of incorrigibility were
filed in the county court this morn
ing by Chief of Police S. b. Hutchin-
son against Hazel Stevens. 15-year
old girl, who has been causing the
police considerable trouble for sever
al weeks. The girl is an orphan and
has no relatives in this locality, and
in spite of warnings by the police.
has failed to mend her erratic ways.
The girl is charged with using vile
language and with frequenting hous-
es of i'll repute. She was arrested
several weeks ago by the police in
a compromising situation. but was
released on the promise of good be-
havior.
The case will come before Judge
Sullivan in the juvenile court, and it
is probable that the girl will be
sent to the detention home in Dem
yer. The girl, although she states
she is but | 5 years old, appears to
be about 20. She will be placed in
Jail until arrangements can be made
for the hearing.

BUREAU
SUPPLIES JOBS FOR
400 UNEMPLOYED

The Clifton labor bureau. organic
ed to take charge of all the employ
ment of fruit helpers during the
present season in the vicinity of Cliff
ton, has taken charge of all the la
bor employment west of Clifton. This
agreement was reached when COM
mittee of the employment bureau met
with the fruit growers directors last
Saturday.
The bureau has supplied some 400
men with work this year, and expects
to be able to place some | 500 men
in the orchards when the season
opens up in full swing. 1t is esti-
mated by the bureau men that some
5000 men will be the additional pay
roll for the present fruit season.
At the present time the work is
increasing. but the labor bureaus find
that many of the hoboes refuse to
work unless they can almost dictate
their own wage.
