This Citizen Certainly
Has Heap of Trouble
Pity the troubles of William Wag
ner, No. 156 Twelfth st., who writes
D. P. W. Commissioner Haarer that
he can’t obey the ordinance requir
ing the placing of ashes in proper re
ceptacles because thieves steal the
receptacles. This Is a common com
plaint received by the D. P. W., and
ash cans seem to bo at a premium,
not to be exposed too much to pub
lic view for fear that they will be
stolen. Mr. Wagner's letter Is a gem
in the telling of a citizen s troubles.
He writes:
Dear Sir: Will you please send
your team around to my place.
Nos. 154 and 156 Twelfth-st., and
get the ashes. It's no use to got
a tin pall to put them ashes in.
It would not be left there any
longer tha nit takes to put them
out. I will give an Idea. The
thieves broke into my cellar in
the rear of the house. They
broke the frame out of Its place,
broke the lock and tore the lead
water pipe out of the sink. It is
a total wreck. They also broke
the steps going to the cellar.
Another job the thieves done: 1
was in my room in front and they
stole my tools right In broad
daylight, so I had to nail up the
window with boards.
I have lived over 50 years in
the place, but I never heard or
seen such mean actions in all my
life. I can’t go up town without

I get back. There was a gang of

T. R. RAPS DEMOCRATS
FOR STAND ON NAVY
OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. July 26.
Theodore Roosevelt today made a
bitter attack on the house Democrats
in connection with the battleship ap
propriation controversy. Asked what
he thought of the attitude of the
Democrats on naval matters, the col
ouel waxed vehement, s\ing:
“If the Democrats vote down the
battleships, if they are logical, they
should also vote to abandon the Pan
ama canal. It Is an understandable
policy to abandon the Panama canal
and this nation would then become
the China of the west. But the one
unpardonable policy is to incur re
sponsibility and then to decline to
adopt the necessary means to enable
us to meet that responsibility. It is
an outrage from the standpoint of
national honor and interest to go on
with the Panama canal at all unless
we fortify it and up an adequate
navy.”
NEGRO PRISONER CHEWS
UP HARMFUL EVIDENCE
ATLANTA, July 26.—“ Where is the
document that Renze Price forged?"
asked the recorder.
“He ate It, Your Honor,” replied the
witness.
Renze Price wag on trial in the
police court on the charge of having
written a recommendation for himself
as a chauffeur and forged the slg
nature of H. I* Collier, Jr. The forged
recommendation was presented to
James W. English, Jr.
When Mr. Collier secured the forged
document and confronted Renze Price
with it, Renze seized the paper, wad
ded it into his mouth, chewed it up
and swallowed it, stated Mr. Collier
to the court.
Price, while not denying that he
swallowed the evidence, refused to
swallow the story he told at first or
to eat his words, and stated to the
court that the recommendation had
been written and signed by Mr. Col
lier's brother. Thl* was denied.
Without the forged paper it would
have been impossible to convict Price
in the state courts, and so the re
corder did not bind him over, but
fined him $25.75.

IMPERSOKJIIES AUTHORESS,
SEEKS ALMS “FOR POOR"
Clever Swindler Uses Name of
Mrs. Barbara Bayne, Califor
nia Literary Woman
The Associated Charities has asked
the police inquire into
the actions of a woman, who, stating
her iiumt to be Mrs. Bayne, solicited
funds from motor car manufacturers
Ohtenoibly for a poor family. The
poor fam'ly did not receive $25 con
tributed by the Hudson Motor Car
Cos., anu the authorities have conclud
ed thnt the woman is an imposter.
The woman, handsome and well
gowned. first went to the Hudson
Motor Car Cos., and solicited funds to
aid a family by the name of Bru
decki which hail been evicted from
a houce at No. 252 Wlllls-ave. east.
The was given to her and she
then went to the Cadillac Motor Car
Cos., ana solicited funds for the same
purpose.
The woman was asked at both
places for letters of Identification and
she produced a copy of a weekly pa
per, published in Detroit. Turning to
the society column of the paper she
ointed to a very complimentary no
tice of Mrs. Barbara Bayne, a Cali
fornia authoress, who writes under
the pen-name of Eleanor Gates, and
was stuyiug in the Tuller hotel. She
asserted that she was the woman thus
desc-ib and in the paper. The Cadillac
company's employes were suspicious
and reported the matter to the As
sociated Charities. They in turn made
Inquiries later of the Brudecki fam
ily and learned that they had receiv
ed no financial assistance. The fact
was as stated by the woman, how
ever, the Brudecki family having
been evicted. The organisation then
warned other firms of the actions of
the woman and referred the matter
to the police.
The woman was undoubtedly a
clever swindler, who was using the
name of the California authoress in
tho attempt to secure money.
Mrs. Barbara Bayne left the Tuller
hotel, July 20.

Ferguson Begins to Have Some
Kealization of Cold
a
Blooded Crime
William Auid Ferguson, the aged
cripple who shot and killed lmmlgra
; tlou Inspector H. G. Herbert, un the
! ferry boat Excelsior, Thursday after
• noon, in such cold blooded fashion
as to appal even the hardened detec
: lives of the local force, awoke to a
|allgh» lealixatlon of his crime during
;h i.lghi in the cell block in the Cen
tral nation, and Friday morning, de
'ciarid that he was "somewhat sorry"
that he shot Herbert.
I Thai was the extent of his contri
tion, however, aud he qualified even
that cy declaring that it was Her
berts own fault that he boarded the
boat, &nd made himself a target for
Ferguscn's deadly revolver, backed
by u mad rage because Ferguson had
been kept out of Canada.
"If it wasn't for the fact that there
is a Borden government over there,
now, instead of a Laurier government,
that ruau would be alive today, and
I wouldn't be here," said Ferguson.
"I wouid not have been stopped un
der the government. But this
man, under the new government, stop
ped men. He told ine I couldn’t go
into Canada, when I used to be u
voter in Hamilton.> I told him. as
lie signed the paper, sending me back
as an undesirable, that I would get
into Canada, anyway. 1 was going
to BuTalo. cross there, aud then make
.my wuy in.
"That was what I was planning,
on the ferry boat. I looked across
the boat, and there stood the man
who had signed the paper. All 1 could
see wab that paper, with his signa
ture oa it, and l drew my revolver
and fired."
I "Did you plan to escape hanging
by waiting until you were out of
Canadian waters before you shot?"
he was asked.
He shrunk a little at the mention
of hauging. and replied.
"No, I never thought of that. If
I had 2ccu that man while the boat
was at the Windsor dock, I would
probabl} have shot him there. He
signed the paper." t • •
I Ferguson says that he does not
'know whether he lias a single blood
relative in the world, who would care
a snap about his predicament. He
says he may have soiuo cousins in
Scotland, but is not sure. He s&ys
he also had a cousin in Portugal,
\e«rs ago, but doesn’t know whether
the cousin is still living. He says he
never married, and has always been
a wanderer. though he stayed longest
in Hamilton, Canada, where he lived
,10 years.
The body of the slain inspector was
; shipped from Frank J. Blake's
morgue, No. 275 Michlgan-ave., Fri
day afternoon, consigned to Edmon
ton, Alberta, w’here he had relatives,
and where It Is said his wife is
buried.

rangements, and had the body of He

KITTY HIWIII WINS
thi sine mile
“Planes’* Over Detroit River
Course at Rate of Better Than
* 50 Miles an Hour
Driven by Freeman Monroe, the De
troit hydroplane, Kitty Hawk 11., de
fended her title to the championship
of the Detroit river, by handily plac
ing to her credit the Studebaker mile
event, raced Friday morning. In ad
dition to scoring a clean-cut victory
Kitty Hawk flew over the mile
course, olllcially "clocked" by four
watches, at a rate of 60.42 miles per
hour. This is by far the fastest time
ever made on the Detroit river, and
is. in fact, the fastest mile ever
logged on any part of the great lakea.
Kitty Hawk was first on the river
and was ready for her trial, after a
slight warming up. The course lay
downstream from the waterworks
dock, and had been measured by care
ful survey during the winter.
It was immediately seen that Kitty
Hawk had sustained no damage by
her 4-mile race of the day before. Her
six-cylinder motor was in perfect
tune and she tore past the finish at
a rate that made the crowd on the
dock gasp in amazement. Straight as
an arrow to the Judges’ boat down
stream, Kitty Hawk tore on her way.
More than half her hull wus out of
wafer nnd her bow wave rolled up,
high as her decks. She finished in
a cloud of spray, and it was known
to a certainty, before the time was
announced, that anew record had
been set.
At the close, of the trial, Monroe
stated that his motor ijad achieved a
speed of 1,850 revolutions a minute,
according to the automatic register
ing devco.
Mr Timken, the Canton, 0., manu
facturer, who owns Kitty Hawk, w’as
nireh pleased over the result of the
trial and will enter Kitty Hawlc in
the big Chicago regatta on Lake
Michigan in August.
The Clement Studebaker, Jr., tro
phy, offered as a prize for the win
ner, goes to Kitty Hawk. The trophy
Is an immense affair of soiid silver.
Mr. Studebaker was not able to be
present to watch the competition but
sent word that he intended to repeat
his offer in case of a similar gather
ing of speed boats in the river, next
year.
Several other members of the hy
droplane fleet were out to take part
in the event, but Kitty Hawk’s time
was so fast that none of them cared
to make the effort.
