Now York, July 110. Following

condition of Henry II. Rogers, tho
nominal head of the Standard Oil

that but for (lio timely action of

friends, a member of tho directorate
of tlio Standard Oil coiWpauy, a wild
rumor would have hprrnd through
Wall street today, ohd it "vould no
doubt liav precipitated a panic,
'The Story is to tlio effect that
Mr. Rogers' tonditiou is not nt

liqaltlj lias almost completely given
away, owing to closo npollcation lo

The noxt day a woman, whom ho
Introduced as 'Mrs. Davidson, joined
him. Tho man camo to nnd from his
room wearing an nutomobllo cap. Ho
was generally dressed In a grimy cos
tume, giving tho Impression that he
was a chauffeur.
Sunday night tho couple, who had
been told to vacato their room, were
heard quarreling by parties In tho
noxt room. Then tho man left. A
'.Mrs. Terhuno was awakened five
hours later, Just beforo daybreak, by
footsteps in (ho next room,
Tho "opinion of the coroner and tho
Investigations of tho police show a
most remarkable strain In the crlmo
nt tliln point. Tho man hadyiiokcd
thb .woman to death by tying nWck
tlo about her throat. It was drawn
nnd knotted bo tightly that tho cloth
sunk Into the flesh. Then with pe
culiarly vicious gloating over his deed
Jthe man had tied tho ends of tho
nccktlo m bows, as ho would have
worn It himself.
There wero tooth marks In tho up
per part of tho woman's right arm,
which were smeared with blood. Thoro
wero nlso teeth marks In her . left
check, but these were frco from
blood.
Tho police bellovo tho murderer bit
his victim after sho was dead.

iHo jammed a pillow over hoi faco
and, though tho body showed that tho
woman died in the greatest agony,
tho arms' woro folded peacefully across
her breast.
Mrs. Dayton told the pollco that sho
had scon In tho room a picture of the
dead woman, on tho faco of which
was written in Ink: "From your
best love, Sophlo Kohlcr."
agers claimed the endorsement Is cer
tnln. They say that Taft will have
14 votes suro and that tho endorse
ment may bo unanimous when tho
oposltlon sees defeat.
All 21 committeemen aro prcsont in
person or by proxy. Tho majority
havo already called on tho Taft man
ugors and promised allegiance.
Forakor's letter opposing tho Taft
endorsement nnd practically admitting
ho would llko, tho presidential en
dorsement created u sensation hero.
Politicians say It draws tho lino so
closely that It means political death
to Fornkor If Taft can control the
commltteo today and also tho noxt
