BEUCHAT
ARRESTED
He Now Languishes In
Jail.
CHARGE AGAINST HIM
Letters Said to Be From Con
gressman Tayler and Presi
dent's Secretary Sent
the Woman.
Marshal Dour Tuesday morning ar
rested Joseph Iicuclint, of Louisville
on th'e chaise of seeming money under
falso pretense. He was arrested In
Canton on u warrant sworn out by Kato
Davis, of 708 South Cherry street, who
charged that Beuchut, under the name
of Italph Tayler, whote to her and rep
resented that he was a nephew of Con
gressman It. Tayler, and that ho
was In a position to secure tho dis
charge of her husband from tho United
States army, for the consideration of
$100. Her husband is at present serv
ing In tho Philippines. She alleges that
Ticuchat had already received $30 from
her and that ho claimed to bo working
on the caso and had assurance that
tho man's discharge could be obtained.
Becoming suspicious of her agent,
Mrs. Davis instituted inquiries and
came to the conclusion that sho was
being imposed upon. She thcicupoii
had Beuchat arrested.
The prisoner was taken before Jus
tice J. A. Bowman Tuesday forenoon.
He pleaded not guilty to tho charge
and was bound over to court In tho
sum of $200. Being unable to sectun
bond, he was sent to tho county jail
and the grand Jury will doubtless pas3
upon his case at Its present sitting.
As evidence of his good faith, Beit
dipt sent Mrs. Dals letters purport
ing to be from Congressman It. V. Tay
lor and President McKInley'a private
secretary, Cortelyou That of the sec
retary Is represented as a copy, while
that of Tayler purports to be tho origi
nal letter. The letters are as follows:
Washington, D, C. March 12, 1901.
Ralph Taylor, Esq., Youngstown.
Dear Nephew: As I promised I
acted. Went personally to the war de
partment, and as you requested pre
sented the case of William Davis of tho
22d regular U. S A.
The cause Is sufllcient to release any
man. I got a ery atentlve hearing
uut mere was a number of others so
they i 111 not decide until Thursday.
There Is no question as to his release.
I did this to favor you but the actual
expense must be had before they will
wire his release. Von know that. I
hope for your success this fall. You
will need those boys In Stark. Tiw
act will do you good and It is worthy,
as you state ho 13 married and no mar
ried man should be In the army.
Itaiph seo that your man does right
by you. You will hear from mo Thurs
day. Your honor,
R. W. TAYLOR,
m.. t i in . ....
xue luiiKiiugu uiiu spelling urc nanny
up to the standard of the classical I
Taylor, and tho name Is not snellcl I
Tayler. and tho name Is not spelled
correctly. Tho letter is apparently a
very bungling forgery.
That purporting to bo from the pres
ident's secretary and marked "copy"
Is as follows:
Executive Mansion, Washington, Mar.
12, 1001.
My dear sir I beg leave to acknow
ledge tho receipt of your communica
tion of tho 9th instant and to say by
diiectlon of tho president tho matter
, to which you refer has been brought
fi to the attention of the secretary of
I, ivor. Verv truly yours,
I OSORGECORTELYOU,
e Secretary to tho President.
5 Another letter dated Youngstown
i nnd written to Mr. August Ballzet, of
r Canton, was also turned over to the
f authorities. Mr. Ballzet was written
?t to aa a friend of Mrs. Davis, and Taylor
r goes over tno case in detail and insists
if that ordinarily It would take $200 to se-
I euro the discharge of the man, but that
J, ho will engineer it through for auiual
v expenses, or $100
!ffi Taylor had evidently represented
thnt ho would bo a candidate for con
gress, as Ballzet Is asked to repay him
by vvoi 1c at tho polls.
Mrs. Davis claims to have paid Beu
chat (alias Taylor) $30, and has his
receipt for It. He also wrote an agree
ment that If he failed to secure tho
discharge of her husband ho would
repay the $30. Both theso receipts are
datf d Canton and signed by tho name
8T Of Ralph Taylor.
i Taylor is a resident of Louisville,
but Is known in Canton, as he camo
hero frequently. His trial will doubt

CHURCH IN AMERICA.
Pope Regards It as the Future

Loudon, May 7. "Popo Leo XIII re-
rda tho Un'ted States as th? future
iter of tho greatness of the Roman
nolle church," said Perry fl. Heath,

spontaneously favor and constantly In
sist on absolute religious freedom. Ills
holiness bellovcs that America Is un
folding a spcctaclo of material and spir
itual development almost unparalleled
In the history of the world."
Concerning the appearance nnd per
sonality of tho pope, Mr. Heath said:
"Ills holiness Is physically very thin,
although In pcitect health. I doubt
If ho weighs more than ninety pounds.
Ho Is ninety-two years of ago nnd ct
exhibits hot tho fcllghtcst trace of men
tal obscuration. Indeed, his mi:id, like
his eyesight, seems almost pretornatur
aly keen. He probably Is the greatest
politician living, In tho sense that he
follows closely and masters the politi
cal phenomena of all nations.

KIDNAPPING BLOCKED
Detroit Chief of Police Refused to Al
low Blddle-Dorman Gang Ac
complice to Ee Carried Off.
Detroit, Mich., May 7. Governor
Bliss signed tho requisition granting
Detective Kclley power to remove
from tho stato of Michigan, Barnett
Werbo, who is chaiged in the Alle
gheny county courts with receiving
tho goods stolon by the Blddle-Dorman
gang, but Detective Kelley'a
plan to hastily remove tho prisoner
was blocked by Chief of Police Mar
tin, who will bo "ripped" out of pf
flce In a few days and succeeded by
Lleutenaut of Detectives John
Downey
The understanding was between
Captain of Dotectlves McDonald,
Lieutenant of Detectives Downey and
Detective Kelley that by some hook
or crook that the prisoner should get
into tho hands of Detective Kelley as
soon as the requisition papers were
received from the governor. Detec
tivo Kelley was then to take an elec
tric car ride with the prisonor and
shortly would bo out of the county
and consequently out of the Jurisdic
tion of tho Wayne county courts.
Governor Bliss wired Captain Mc
Donald that he had attached his sig
nature to the papers and to hold the
prisoner Pt all hazards from being ad
mitted to ball. Since then Captain
McDonald and Lieutenant Downey
have beer, called to Port Huron on a
big burgU'y case and Chief of Police
Martin refused to carry out the de
tectives' agreement, claiming the
prisoner is entitled to reasonable
time to take out a writ of habeas
corpus after the papers are received
Pollaski, last year a candidate for
governor, and now a candldato for

position he claims to have a promise,
He is of considerable political im
portance and has the endorsement of
every offKal and member of the legis
lature. What movo tho attorneys propose
to make cannot be ascertained. They
refuse to talk further than to say
they are ready. Werbe Is now being
illegally held In confinement. Under
tho law bo should havo been arraigned
by noon Monday on the last charge
placed nginst him by Detective Kel
ley on Saturday, that oX receiving tho
Caldwell and Graham silks, shipped
from Pittsburg to Dotrolt.
F6r some reason unknown, Detec
tive Kelley has consulted with Dls
trictAttomey James Hurst and has
retained Allan H. Frazler, ono of tho
best crimnal lawyers of the state,
and will fight for his prisoner.
DISPUTE OVER QUEEN'S GIFT.
Mrs. West Claims Maine Flag and 8o
Does Baker.
London, May 7. A dispute has
arisen as to tho ownership of the flag
which Queen Victoria presented to
tho hospital ship Maine. Mrs. George
Cornwall! West (Lady Randolph
Churchill) asserts that It belongs to
her and Mr. Bornard Ilakor, owner of
the vessel, declares that It Is his
property. Tho flag Is now In Lady
Randolph's possession.
It seems that while tho Maine was
still in servlco as a hospital ship Mr.
Daker gave orders that the flag should
bo surrendered to no one without an
order from himself. The officer In
charge of tho ship, a few days later,
sent it to Lady Randolph upon her
written request. Ho was dismissed
for dlaobfcdlenco and Mr. Baker re
quested Ludy Randolph to return tho
flag to blm, which she, in spite of
mora importunate requests and de
mands, has failed to do.
Lady Randolph claims tho flag as
her own, but baa intimated her will.
