WIFE DIES
Pueilist's White Wife Succumbsc to
Self-Inflicted Wound.

Chicago, Sept. IA little more
than two years ago, Eta Duryea, di-
vorced wife of Clarence Duryea, mil
lionaire New York horseman, married
black man, a pugilist of modern
times. Despite the pleadings of her
family and friends she married john
son. Today she lies in the Provident
Hospital dead by her own hand.
Dismissing her maids last night
with the injunction that they "pray
for her." she went to her rooms above
her husbands elaborate cafe-the
Cafe de Champion. At $3.50 a. M, to-
day late revelers were alarmed by the
sound of a shot. Rushing up stairs
they discovered the pugilist's wife un-
conscious on the floor. She was rush
ed to the hospital and died without re-
gaining consciousness.
Eta Duryear was for six years
the wife of Clarence Duryea, wealthy
clubman of New York City and Long
Island. In the spring of 1910 she got
a divorce, the deere being signed by
Judge Copper, in Chicago. Duryea was
then in the AdirondacNs, being treat
ed for Tuberculosis. A few months
later she married Johnson.
The first bitter fruits of the inter-
racial marriage came when her
friends in the east socially ostracised
her. Then came another shock with
full realization of the foreboding of
her friends and family. After his
conquest of the white race" Johnson
built palatial home on Wabash
Avenue and installed his wife and
family there. The negroes Of john
sons class regarded his wife as an
outcast from the white race. They
thought that she was after his money.
Then came neglect, later it was
charged cruelty. The pugilist is said
to have beaten her so severely on one
occasion that she was taken to the
hospital.
When Johnson returned he appear
ed much affected by the news that his
wife had attempted suiciae. Fc wip-
cd his eyes and made audible mani
festations of grief before leaving in
his big touring car, together with his
mother and sisters for the hospital.
He dismissed the nurses and was
alone for few minutes with the dy-
ing woman.

I! LAWYER CHARGED
WITH MURDER.
B. w. Gibson Arrested in
Connection With Wo-
mans Death.
E X P E C TIE D ARREST.
Accused Makes Statement in Which
He Alleges His Innocence of Crime
Imputed to Him.

New York, Sept. 12.-Boldly pro-
claiming his innocence and asserting
that he was the victim of circum-
stances which could easily be dis
proved, Burton w. Gibson, lawyer OF
Rutherford, N. j., and this city, sub
mitted to arrest in his office here to-
day. He was formally charged with
the murder of Mrs. Rosa Szabo who
was supposed to have been drowned in
Greenwood Lake Orange county, on
July 16, last.
The formal arrest was made by
Deputy Sheriff De Graw of Orange,
county. Gibson had expected to be
arre-t1 when he reached this city
from his Rutherford home but the up
state deputy sheriff, who had been
supposed to be in waiting most of the
night for just such contingency did
not appear and it was not until Gibson
had been in his office an hour that De
Graw arrived.
While waiting for the papers to ar
rive Gibson made somewhat extend
ed statement in which he insisted that
he was absolutely innocent of any
wrong-doing.
Gibson coolly called up Mrs. Gibson
in their home in Rutherford and held
whispered conversation with her.
His nerve was unshaken His hand
holding the receiver did not tremble
and he was as impassive and uncon-
cerned as if he were discussing the
case of client by whom he had just
been retained.

CASE OF BECKER.
Justice Bischoff Refuses to Make ANY
Statement Concerning Post
pOnement.

New York, Sept l2.-Although
District Attorney Whitman claims
Justice Bischotf was deceived when
he granted a stay of the murder trial
Of Police Lieutenant Becker. until the
the October term, he refused today
to make any attempt to have the or
der overruled when the trial was cal
led in Justice Goff's court today. He
made it plain that if he could secure
affidavits from the Hot Springs wit
nesses that they were misquoted by
Becker's attorney, John F. Mcintyre,
in his declaration that they would tes-
tify that Sam Scheps said Becker was
the victim of conspiracy. He would
go into special term later on and have
the Bischof order reviewed.
Assistant District Attorney J. Rob-
ert Rubin, who brought Schepps back
from Hot Springs left for that resort
today. He will secure if possible af-
fidavits from Postmaster Douglas L.
Hotchkiss, acting mayor T. A. Petit,
and Constable j. A. Sullivan, the three
men named by Mcintyre refuting the
Mcintyre statements. Whitman de-
clared today that if he could show, as
he hoped to do, bad faith in this in
stance, it would operate as barrier
to future attempts to secure delay by
Mcintyre.
1t was learned today, however, that
Mcintyre has all of the papers ready
for a moton for charge OF venue
should anything happen to overturn
hs plans. He does not want to try this
case before November, figuring that
by that time the outcry against Becker
will have died down.
Justice Golf has decided that he
will 90 ahead with the John Doe
probe at once and District Attorney
Whitman has his case about ready so
that start can be made. In addition
to Mayor Gaynor, the District Attor-
ney plans to put Commissioner Waldo
and g score of well-known gamblers
on the stand early in the hearing.

NINE VACANCIES IN
SACRED COLLEGE
Death of Cardinal Coullie
Topic at Eucharistic
Congress.
ANOTHER AMERICAN.
Adoption of Resolutions Favoring
Restoration of Pope's Temporal
Power Urged.

Vienna, Sept. 12.-The death of
Cardinal Couillo,of Lyons, France,was
an important topic of unofficial discus
sion at the Eucharistic Congress here
today. Inasmuch as there are now
nine vacancies in the Sacred College
it was the consensus of opinion that
the elevation of another American
prelate to the cardinalate which was
deemed likely even when there were
only eight vacancies, has become a
practical certainty.
The congress, as was rather antici-
pated, seems to be taking political
turn as its work progresses. For this
the anti-clericals have been largely re-
ported. The openness and energy
with which they have displayed their
hostility has developed an aggress-
i've attitude on the part of the Cath
olic party, and many of its men,
bers are urging the adoption Of res
olutions favoring the restoration Of
the Pope's temporal power.
So far as formal debate IS concern
ed the program calls only for con-
sideration of the religious topics usu-
ally dealth with at eucharistic con-
crosses.
The gathering has been notable by
the perfect working of the advance
arrangements matter left entirely
to the Catholic women Of Vienna.
Archduchess Marie Annunziata, hhe
Emperor's favorite niece, had general
supervision of the preparations. 9th
ers who served as presidents of vari-
Gus committees were:
Archduchess Marie Josepha, finance
committee; Archduchess Blanca, COM
mittee on the lodging of delegates;
Archduchess MariaTeresa, committee
on propaganda; Archduchess zita,
committee on decorations; Archduch-
ess Marie Valeria, children's depart
ment; Duchess of Hohenberg, commit
tee on vestments and supplies.
AS a mark of his good will toward
the vatican, after the congress the en-
peror will plac ca royal yacht at the
disposal Of Cardinal Won Rossum, the
papal legate, for a voyage on the
Danube.
Emperor Frances Joseph was pres
ent today at the ceremonies which
constituted the really formal and Off
cial opening of the congress.

Woman Saves Lives.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 12.-Mrs. Wal
ter R. Smith, wife of a South Side
ieweler, probably saved the lives OF
CAPTAIN Horace B. Wilde and Engl-
neer John d. Courcey, of a dirigible
balloon used by a southside amuse-
ment park. Mrs. Smith was sitting
in the rear porch of her flat Groom
ing her baby to sleep. She heard
wells and looking up she spied the
balloon careening and heading
straight toward the blank wall of a
street car barn across the street. The
balloon was trailing a long anchor of
rope.
Mrs. Smith descended hastily to
the back yard and when the anchor
rope came along she grabbe dit. She
was severely bumped against a picket
fence when the balloon dragged her
but she took a "half hitch" in the
anchor rope around clothes post an
dragged the navigators to a safe land
ing in her back yard.
