MAJ.-GEX. FRED FUNSTON
P.y International News Service.
San Antonio, TVx., ('eh. 10.
Gen. Funston died from angina
sclerosis, an affection of the ar
teries of the heart, instead of indi
gestion, (lie attending physicians
announced late tonight.
San Antonio. Tex.. Feb. 19. Maior
General Frederick Funston, probably
the best known and most admired of
all American army officers, died at St.
Anthony's Hotel here at 9:15 tonight,
while playing in the lobby of the ho
tel with a small child.
The little tot and the "fighting gen
eral" were chasing each other across
the lobby, when Gen. Funston was seen
to topple over. It was at first believed
he had stumbled and fallen, but when
he failed to arise, bystanders hastened
"to his assistance. ITe was found un
conscious. He was picked up and carried to
his suite, where a physician worked
vigorously to revive him, but to no
avail. It was said that death was due
to acute indigestion, from which he
had suffered almost constantly for
several weeks. He finished his din
ner shortly before 8 o'clock tonight
at the hotel, and after a rest in his
i-com, came down stairs and coaxed a
romp out of a baby, which he found
chattering in the corridor.
I5y International News Sen-ice.
By the death of Gen. Funston. the
United States loses one of its greatest
commanders and at a time when his
loss is doubly felt. In daring and real
fighting qualities Gen. Funston was of
a caliber which entitle him to rank
with the biggest and best soldiers in
history.
Ohio was Funston's native State,
but at the time of the Spanish-American
war he was identified with Kan
sas, to which State his parents moved
when a child.
In Kansas he received an academic
education, which was finished at the
university of that State in 1885. He
began work as a newspaper reporter,
which profession he followed for sev
eral j ears. In 189? he went to Alaska
for the Government. A short time la
ter he was sent to Cuba to assist in
squelching the insurgents. Step by
step he pushed his way up in the Cu
ban insurgency from Captain to Ma
jor, then Lieutenant Colonel.
When the United States declared
war on Spain, Funston hurried back to
Kansas, where he was made Colonel of
the Twentieth Kansas Volunteer In
fantry. From that point dates a part
of his career which may properly be
described as world famous.
In the Philippine campaign Funston
won distinction by capturing Emilio
Agunaldo, whom he made a prisoner
in 1901. He was noted for many act
of bravery. During the Philippine

Miss Cecilie Cook was awarded the
diamond lavaliere at the mask ball
given last night by the Fraternal Or
der of Eagles at West End Hall. She
was dressed as a snake charmer, wear
ing a huge rattlesnake around her
r.c-ck. She wore a silk dress trimmed
in gold. .
Miss Viola Masterson, who repre
sented a working woman, carried off
the second prize for the ladies, which
was a gold-handled silk umbrella. She
appeared in an old silk shirtwaist, a
black skirt and a white shawl thrown
over her shoulders. A pair of blue
eye-glasses added to her stem and
cart worn countenance.
The first prize for men was award
ed to H. C. Ridge, who was dressed
in evening clothes. He was given the
pair of gold cuff buttons and shirt
stud. Louis Pollack, who appeared as
the Yiddish merchant, received the
second prize, consisting of a fountain
pen and a gold chain.
He attracted much attention with
his heavy black beard, his large rim
med eye-glasses and his Yiddish dia
lect. He amused the dancers during
the intermissions bv peddling shoe
strings, collar buttons, pencils and
small trinkets.
The group prize was won by 10
young girls who were dressed in the
national colors of the 10 leading na
tions. The United States, England,
Germany, France, Switzerland, Rus
sia, CTiina, Italy, Austria and Spain
'were represented in this group. They
were given a five-pound box of candy.
The girls were: Misses Cleta Goza,

His expedition against Vera Cruz
three years ago, when he took charge
of the Mexican city, marked his fourth
war through which he passed, and
still under the age of sixty.
The news of his death was flashed to
the men along the border as soon as
it was .officially known that he had ex
pired. He was a great favorite among
men and officers, and the army along

Washington, Feb. 19. The death of
Major-Genera Funston at San An
tonio tonight was made known to the
War Department tonight by a tele
gram from Col. M. W. Burnum, Gen.
Funston's chief of staff. The news
was received while the nation's mili
tary heads were at a Cabinet dinner,
given by Secretary of War -Baker,
the dinner was immediately abandon
ed. War Department officials tonight
issued statements eulogizing the dead
General.
While the news of Gen. Funston's
death shocked the department officials,
there were many suggestions concern
ing his successor. It is believed that
Pershing will succeed him.
A lengthy telegram from Col. Bur
num was received at the Wad Depart
ment late tonight, giving details of
Gen. Funston's death. Col. Burnum,
who took dinner with the General to
night, said he ate sparingly, and de
clined every article of food that he
thought might not agree with him.
When an oyster cocktail was offered
him, he said: "You will have to ex
cuse me as I have had several attacks
of acute indigestion lately."
He went from the dining room to
his suite, but returned to the corridor
later. After sitting quietly for a
while, listening to the orchestra, he
called a little girl, who was playing
in the corridor, to him, and he was
amusing her when stricken
Gen. Funston was dead before Col.
Burnum, chief of staff of the Southern
Department, reached him. It was
stated that the body would be removed
to Fort Sam Houston at 10 o'clock to
morrow morning. It will be accom
panied by a heavy military guard.
NEW ORE FIELDSiFATHER COLLINSiFRANCfilSE MAY
!N WAYNE CO. TO
BENEFIT CAPE
The chances of Cape Girardeau land
ing the huge Government armor plate
plant were enhanced yesterday by the
announcement that the Mid-Nation
Iron Product Co., a $2,000,000 corpora
tion of St. Louis, will develop the ore
fields in Wayne and Butler counties,
oily a short distance from Cape Gir
ardeau and eardly accessible by rail.
Deeds already have been acquired on
more than 25,000 acres of land in these
two counties for this purpose, and
24,000 of this is located in Wayne,
near the cities of Greenville and Wil
liamsville. St. Louis has been considered one of
the largest markets for iron products,
and the development of these ore
mines so close to the Cape would in
crease and perhaps double the present
output of the St. Louis furnaces. The
fact that Cape Girardeau could obtain
high-grade pig iron from the metrop
olis at a low river rate will be of im
measurable advantage in making the
race for the Government armor plate
plant.
The operation of the iron ore fields
in these two counties has been greatly
neglected in the past years, although
experts have always contended that
Wayne County, only fiO miles distant
from Cape Girardeau, is perhaps the
richest ore district of the country, and
equal in quality to the ore of Alaba
ma. The Mid-Xation Iron Product
Co., has employed a number of ex
perts to investigate the lands and de
termine where the mines can bo most
profitably located.
Considering the fact that Cape Gir
ardeau is only 50 mlies from these ore
fields, it is probable that this city
will become the center of the ore mar
ket in this part of the country. Earl
A. Clemons of Chicago, head of the
Mid-Nation Iron Product Co., has been
in Williamsville, Wayne County, for
several days and has been inspecting
the ore fields in that county.
It has been variously estimated that
these ore fields will produce from ."0,
000,000 to 200.000,000 tons of high
grade ore every year for the manu
facture of pig iorn, and that this out
put will even be increased after the
fields have been fully developed. This
would exceed the production of the
largest ere mining districts in the
United States.
According to reports, almost 0000
;iclTS of the land acquired by the Mid
i xat,on Iron Product Co., contain
known iron deposits, while almost 7000
acres are said to contain unname
ore, thus making 15,000 acres certain
to have iron deposits.
Plans for the erection of the blast
furnaces in St. Louis will be begun
as soon as the inspection of the land;
in Wayne County has been completed.
It is believed that the decision will be
reached tomorrow in a conference be
tween the experts employed by the
corporation and its heads.
The opening of this new mining ter
ritory will also benefit the manufac
ture of timber and railroad ties. It is
estimated that this territory would
furnish close to one million railroad
ties and thereby leaving the possibil
ity of the construction of new railroad
lines open. These new lines would
lead to the river connecting with the
barges that are being operated on the
Mississippi to the iNorth and the
South.
BEN VINYARD WILL
RUN FOR COUNCIL
Ben Vinyard, real estate man and
Democratic leader of the Cape, has de
cided to become a candidate for coun
cilman in the Second ward. He will
t e placed on Mayor Kage's ticket.
Mr. Vinyard has also been solicited
to lend his name for two other tickets
which may be placed in the field. Ar
thur Whitener, the Main street police-
i--.3n, and Patrolman George W. Tal-
Iey, have both asked him to be a can
didate in the Second ward on their
tickets. They will announce these
later.
Several days ago Mr. Vinyard was
requested by Mayor Kage to be his
council candidate in the Second ward,
bat asked to be given time to consider
the matter. He told Mayor Kage he
beheved that his official capacity as
councilman would injure his business
as -an insurance man, inasmuch as he
would not be permitted to issue any
policies on any city property.
Mr. Vinyard feels confident that he
will be elected for he has been" prom
ised undivided support in his ward. A
number of prominent business men of
the Cape have called on hira in the last
few days and have asked him to be a
candidate, he said, and all assured hira
ef their support.
SUES MEMBER OF
CONGREGATION
Says He Was Charged With
Embezzling Church Funds
By Thos. Rafferty
ASKS $2000 DAMAGES
FOR CHARACTER STAIN
Charges Were Made at Church
Meeting in Jackson
Last Fall.
A suit for ?2000 damages was yes
terday filed in the Common Pleas
Court by Rev. M. D. Collins, pastor of
the Immaculate Conception Church in
Jackson, against Thomas Rafferty, of
the tame city, who is one of his par
ishioners. The suit grew out of a con
troversy between Rafferty and Father
Collins last November when, accord
ing to the petition, the latter was ac
cused of having misappropriated some
funds of the Catholic Church in S:.
MaryV. Mo., eight years ago;
The petition also charges that Raf
ferty, during the meeting last No
vember, made ambiguous charges
against Father Collins concerning the
management of the church funds in
Jackson. These insinuations were made
at a parish meeting, at which pom?
improvement:? of the church grounds
were discussed.
Father Collins was placed in charge
of the parish in Jackson eight vears
age. He was formerly pastor in St.
Mruy's. While there, he said, ho had
some difficulty in keeping up the im
provements of the Catholic Cemetejy,
especially after it had been separated
from the City Cemetery, and had t
use some of the money of the church
fund for this purpose.
No: wanting to burden the parish
ioners too heavily with this expense, he
even paid for improvements out of his
private funds, he said. He could not
understand how Rafferty could make
such charges against him, he informed
The Tribune last night.
The controvf sy began when Father
Collins suggested the improvements at
the church and the parsonage in Jack
son last fa'i. A large number of
men belonging to the Immaculate Con
ception Churcn. attended the meeting
in which Fa'.her Collins .ugg-vsl.l t'l?
improvement and also a.-ked that they
be defrayed by a popular subscription
made up by the membci"?, of his parish.
Rafferty made strenuous objections
to the suggestions of Father Co'lins
and according to the petition, insinuat
ed tht the priest "was tryirg to put
one over.'
Attorney Wilson Cramer of Jack
son, interceded and made an attempt
to settle the differences between th?
priest and the layman. He drafted an
apology which he gave Rafferty to
sign and asked him to submit the
document to Father Collins.
After fruitless efforts he broke off
his relation? with lea.Terty and at the
request of Father Collins drew up the
petition for damages. According to
Judge Cramer, Rev. Collins is anxious
to vindicate himself for the alleged
slander committed against him. as the
charge were wholly untine and un
founded. Mr. Rafferty refused to discuss the
matter with a reporter for The Trib
une last night. He said he was not
at this time prepared to make a state
ment. When asked whether he had
been requested to apologize, he re
plied he did not care to say anythin-;
regarding this matter for the present.
Mr. Rafferty is employed by th-i
Dan Klein Saddlery Co., in Jackson,
where he has worked for years. H'-
has been a member of the Immaculate
Conception parish all his life. He has
a large family.
Father Collins is well known
throughout Missouri as a writer an i
especially a public speaker. He is
much sought after as a lecturer oi
public questions.

The Frisco has largely reduced its
working force in the Cape recently.
Only a small number of the employes
in the repair shoos have been retained.
Several box cars that were in noed ef

to Springfield ;n?tead of being repair
ed in the Cape as had been customary

that the machinery would be moved

It was learned yesterday that their
visit to the county followed the re
ceipt of certain information given to
the Department of Justice from per
sons in this city and Jackson. One
man, living near Jackson, is said to
have publicly declared that he avouM
make a visit to the national canital for i
the purpose of seeking revenge, should
the United States and Germany de
clare war.
This threat, it is understood, was
communicated to the office ef theJ
United States District Attorney in St.

this city. It is presumed that the
secret sen'ice agents were dispatched
to this county following the receipt of
these complaints.

under instructions from the Chief of
the Secret Service Bureau. Whether
the Government intends to take ac
