Two Men Accused of Crime
Committed Last De-
cember
WOMAN BETRAYS
ALLEGED SLAYER
Victim of the Crime Was a
Wealthy Chicago Dia-
mond Merchant

Chicago, Aug. l2.-Harold Schneider
vaudeville singer, and "Johnny" Faith
an underworld character, were yester-
day formerly charged with the murder
of Joseph H. Logue, wealthy diamond
merchant, who was slain in his offices
in the McYiker theatre building eight
months ago under circumstances that
baffled the police.
A woman's betrayal of her alleged
paramour caused the arrest of Sehneid-
er and Faith. After the two prisoners
had been sweated for the third time yes
terday, Assistant States Attorney John
son declared he was positive that one
of the men actually did the killing and
that the other shared in the stolen Jew
els.
The woman was May McMullin. Ac-
cording to Johnson, she detailed Faiths
actions during the week preceding the
murder because he refused to marry
her after she had given birth to child.
She is being held as principal wit
ness and the state announced that it
would ask for long continuance to
give time to prepare its case.
The Logue murder was one of the most
difficult of solution in Chicago's crime
history. Logue VIZ shot and beaten to
death and his safe robbed while thous-
ands of Christmas shoppers were pass
ing his Office at lunch hour, Dec. 20,

ESCORT RIDDLED
CASKET WITH Bull
LET'S IN CHURCH
Only One Incident of the Funeral Day
of the Late President of
Hayti.

New York, Aug. l2.--Instead of pre-.
senting arms when ordered to do so,
the military escort to the body of Tan
crede Auguste, late president of Hayti,
aimed their rifles at the casket and
riddled it with bullets, according to Mar
field Kemp of Lexington, Ind, a young
engineer employed by the National Rail
road of Hayti, who reached here from
Port-au- Prince yesterday. The shooting
occurred in the cathedral of st Mary,
Mr.. Kemp said, at the conclusion IF a
funeral service of great solemnity and
in the presence OF hundreds of persons
Mr.. Kemp was one of a party of Amer
leans he said, who attended the funeral
THE casket occupied place in the
center aisle" Mr.. Kemp said, "and the
twenty four soldiers stood in two lines
one each side. AT the blessing they were
ordered TO present arms. Instead, they
fired several rounds into the body. The
church was thrown into an uproar and
the funeral throng fled in panic"
This outrage was one of many disor-
ders occurring in Port-au- Prince on the
day of the funeral, Mr.. Kemp said. He
added that President Auguste had made
many political enemies. and that it was
reported, but without eonfr-
nation, that he had been poisoned.

might have one to fall back upon.
The stolen one was left unattended in

A SKELETON IN THE CLOSET.
Tragic Story of the Origin of the Fa-
miliar Expression.


"a skeleton in the cupboard" is a
familiar expression which has tragic
origin. The story is that a certain
widow in England had son in India.
but owing to his failing health his
mother became very anxious for his
return, One day she received a letter
from him containing the strange re-
quest that she should find some one
who had no care or trouble and ask her
to make six shirts for him.
Anxious to accede to his wishes, the
mother hunted long and finally found
a lady who apparently fulfilled the
condition. The lady listened in silence
to the request and then invited the
widow into her bedroom. and there she
opened cupboard, which contained
human skeleton.
Madam" she said. Il endeavor to
keep my trouble to myself. but every
night my husband compels me to kiss
that skeleton, which was once his ri
val, whom he killed in duel many
years ago. Think you that am hap
py?"
Then the mother wrote to her son of
the fruitless errand, and his reply was:
II knew when l gave you the COM
mission that every one had his cares,
and you, mother, must have yours.
Know, then, that l am condemned to
death and can never return to Eng
land. Mother. mother, there is skele-
ton in every house"

THE GREAT
NIAGARA GORGE
Remarkable Map and Description Issued
by United States and Canadian
Geological Surveys.

The opening of the twelfth interna-
tional geological conference at Toronto
to-day is fittingly commemorated by the
issue of a special large-scale topographic
map that is notably international in
character. This map is issued from the
press of the United States geological
survey and is thoroughly up-to date
representation of the most famous por-
ton of the United States and Canada
international boundary line--the Mag
ara gorge. The survey for this map
was made last year by Charles L. Cooke,
"a topographic engineer of the United
States geological survey, but in this
field work the geological survey of Can
ada fully co-operateds meeting all the
expenses ON the dominion side of the
Niagara river. The Niagara gorge map
will therefore be of special interest to
the visiting scientists from Europe, as
proof Of the cooperative spirit with
which these two scientific bureaus APP
proach their problems in fields that have
a common boundary for more than 5000
miles.
Another incident showing the close in
ternational relations among scientists
was President Wilson's recent order au-
thorizing the temporary appointment, at
the request of the Chinese minister, of
Chinese student as geologic aid in one
of the geological survey parties, in ac-
cordance with the practice of the survey
of maintaining friendly relations with
the scientists of other nations.

TO SOLVE MURDER
MYSTERY OF 1899
Detectives Have Warrants for Two Ac-

Pa, Crime.

| Cleveland Ohio, Aug. l2.--With war.
rants out for two men charging com.
plieity in the Staying of John Blevins
former city treasurer of New Castle, Pa.
who was beaten to death in his office one
night fourteen years ago, one of the
most famous murder mysteries in the
history of Pennsylvania was believed to
be near solution yesterday.
A local detective agency, working on
the case for two years, forged the chain
of evidence resulting in the swearing
out of the warrants secretly before a
New Castle justice of the peace last
week. One OF the alleged murderers is
under surveillance at Bradford, Pa, and
the other is being sought near New
Castle.
woman, tortured by her conscience,
is said to have given the detectives their
clue, admitting that she heard the crime
plotted in her resort in New Castle in
January, 1899. A reward of $1,000 of
fered by the New Castle council for the
capture of the Blevins slayers is still
standing.
uncle john Blevins, city treasurer of
New Castle for fifteen years, was killed
in his Office near midnight one Saturday
in January, 1899. His head had been
battered in by some blunt instrument.
Although II years old, the condition of
the room showed he had put up terrific
battle for life.
A tin box ordinarily containing from
S400 to $500 was missing. An audit Of
Blevins' books disclosed him TO be about
S4s,000 short in his accounts. Certain
notes believed to have been in his posses
sion were also missing. 1t was believed
by the police that the murder was com
mitted principally to obtain possession
of these notes, which, it is said, were
given Blevins by successful politicians.

CURIOUS ALASKAN BIRDS.
Male Ptarmigans Woo In Two Tongues
and Bully Their Mates.

Male Ptarmigans Woo In Two Tongues
and Bully Their Mates.
The ptarmigan, an Alaskan bird. is
a wonderful imitator of man. II Bel
more Browne, who contributes an ar
ticle ON Alaskan game to Outing, is to
be believed To begin with, the author
finds that the ptarmigan is linguist
of no mean ability. The male does his
wooing In mixed French and English:
"a pleasing side of their mating is
the habit of the males of uttering their
call while on the wing. They com.
mence with cultural cackle. which
they utter faster and faster until they
alight, when they end their song by
repeating slowly call that sounds
like ged-up, ged-up. ged-up. ged-up or
parlez vous? parlez yous? parlez vous?,
as they strut proudly about"
In addition to singing In two Ian
guages, the ptarmigan conducts his
personal and domestic affairs In APP
proved fashion. Could not the follow
ing observation apply to human beings
as well as to this remarkable bird:
THE males fight constantly, and the
hens seem to enjoy these battles and
sit about clucking among themselves.
"But once a hen has decided on
mate she comes into her own share Of
troubles and is beaten and bullied by
the mate she has promised to love and
obey"
