Chicago, Aug. 28.—Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw has made public the following letter, written by him to Governor A. B. Cummins of Iowa in reply to statements made by Governor Cummins before the recent reciprocity convention at Chicago: The hall has been fitted up with the pews of St. Mai-y's and one of the altars was placed in it last week. The first services yesterday were very largely attended, more people being present than have attended St. Mary's in some years. Kev. Father Croghan said masses at 8-. 30 and 9:30 . Portsmouth, N.

Logansport, Ind., Aug. is.—One man was killed instantly, another probobly fatally injured, and a number slightly Injured in a wreck on the Pan-Handle excursion train returning from Cincinnati at 1 o'clock this morning in the Logansport yards. Now York, Aug. 28.—Bigamy as a profession, followed by persons throughout the country to an extent undreamod of by the authorities, has been brought to light as a result of the investigation of the story told by Celia Speilberger of BOO Sixth street to Assistant United States District Attorney Loekwood. So remarkable have been the discoveries made by the detectives that it was said that the federal grand jury as well as the postal authorities and the New York grand Jury will take action at once to stop the robbing of women by means of fraudulent and real marriages.

A DROWNING ACCIDENT Probably fatally injured: Engineer Patrick Grady. The excursion train was behind time and was running at a high rate of speed when It crashed into a "cut" of freight cars in the yards. The engine, baggage car, smoker and three coaches were derailed. The smoker and coaches were splintered and many of the passengers bruised. Bad Accident Near Hones- His Visws of the Equitable " 'The secretary of the treasury in a speech recently delivered in Des Moines is reported us saying that the explanation of the refusal of the senate to consider the French treaty Is that It gives everything to France and nothing to the United States. I must do him the Justice to believe that he never read the treaty, for otherwise he has committed u grave offense against the proprieties of debate.' Rudolph Franz Lost His Life dale This Morning. in His Own Lake. Purchase. t11 • V". The situation is clear enough. The Itusslan government will pay Japan a certain sum of money for commercial advantages in Sakhalin, and for the right to operate the eastern end of the Transsiberian ruilway through northern Manchuria. It will pay liberally for the food and clothing supplied to the 00,000 prisoners of war now held in the several provinces of the Japanese empire, but it will not combine these payments into the lump sum of $600,000,000 demanded by Baron Komura on last Thursday. Probably onehalf this sum Is the best that the Tokyo representatives can hope to obtain.

Speaking of the Equitable, Mr. Hyan said: "My purchase of the control of the stock and inducing Mr. Morton to take the presidency was only a public duty which any number of other men would have readily performed had they been aware of the consequences of a continuation of the dissensions among the old officers and some of the directors.As the Papers Reported Him.

"I did not see that portion of your address until I came west and have delayed writing that I might ascertain where I was reported to have made such a statement. I know I did not say it or anything that could be so interpreted, but I was not so sure about the report. The occasion was au informal luncheon, and the speech was Impromptu, though not extemporaneous. 1 find that both of the • Des Moines Republican daily papers represented at the luncheon reported me as saying: to Death Ing Himself. A. R. Friilbrown, chief civil engineer of the Sunbury division of the Pennsylvania railroad, dropped dead at his home in Sunbury this morning. Mr. Friilbrown has been troubled with heart disease for some time and today succumbed to a s«?vert- attack. That the east side marriage brokers have had in their employ men who made a business of mafrying women and deserting them after they had obtained their money has been known for a long time. As the eases developed these men have been sent to Jail, but it has not been suspected until recently that the practices of the east side brokers extended throughout the country and that women other than Ignorant immigrants had become victims of the wiles of these men. Because of the unusual noise of an automobile along the CederVille road to Honesdale this morning, two teams of horses, attached to different wagons. became frightened, with the result that Adam 1-utz, aged 20, of Cedervlllc, was killed by being trampled to death. Rudolph Franz, of 901 Meadow avenue, Scranton, was drowned in Mountain lake, of which he was part owner, while picking water lilies from a boat yesterday afternoon. C. E. Bone, of 324 Adams avenue, Scranton, his 1-year-old son and a nurse, Mrs. Dunlay. who were In the boat at the time, had a narrow escape from a similar fate. v. _ The indications are that Baron IComura will wholly withdraw the proposition for reimbursement if the Russian envoys will amend the Sakhalin proposition so as to pay liberally for the commercial concessions which will be permitted Russia throughout the entire island and for the ownership of the northern half. There is authority for the statement that the czar will not seriously object to this way out of the peace deadlock, although it will take several days to bring about a successful arrangement. Mr. Witte will have to send the Japanese proposal to St. Petersburg, so that on Tuesday an adjournment is not unlikely for fortyeight hours. He was about 50 years of age and had spent most of his life working for the company as engineer. He was very fond of cigarettes and it is thought that his ailment was brought about by the use of these. lie had just erected a beautiful new home and had furnished it magnificently lor his family. L,utz, who was a laborer, was on his way to Honesdale to work, with several companions, when the accident occurred. There were two wagon loads of men In the party, which left Cederville at about 7:30 o'clock. Near Honesdale. Charles Oibbs, of Honesdale. came along in his automobile, and, upon request, stopped his machine until the two wagons, which were following each other, had The accident happened shortly bofore 2 o'clock. When the body was taken from the water about threequarters of an hour la£er, It was found to be entwined with the stems of water lilies, with which the pond abounds. Franz was known to be a strong swimmer and it was probably because of the presence of the lilies and the resistance they Offered to his efforts that he met his fate. "There Is not the slightest doubt about the strength of the Equitable. It is as sound as the Bank of England. It will hereafter be conducted as an insurance company pure and simple, with an eye single to the welfare of the policy holders. As to the legislative investigation nothing could be better for the policyholders. Mr. Morton will afford the committee every facility and will aid in every way to the end that a full and thorough Investigation shall be made. If anybody connected with the company has been guilty of wrongdoing he should suffer. If anybody has anything in his possession belonging to the company he must give it back. " 'I was an enthusiast among those who favored the reciprocity treaties. Among these treaties was one with France. The French contract gave her an advantage in entering the American market over every other country on seventy articles, in consideration of which site agreed to apply her minimum tariff to our exports to Franco except as to twenty articles, including horses, butter, eggs, cheese, leather goods, machines (machine tools), dynamos, etc.—that is. if we would treat France better than we did any other comttvy France would treat us about as well as she did any other nation. She Found Many Victims. Mrs. Speilberger said she was the victim of one of the east side "schatchens," who introduced one of the professional bigamists to her and who. after lie had obtained her savings, disappeared. It was while trying to find her husband that she learned that she was only one of hundreds of women who had had the same experience and that the victims of the marriage brokers extended from one end of the country to the other.

The Question in ail probability will bo sent either to a special arbitration court suggested by President Roosevelt or to The Hague tribunal. It is the belief that this will be done that causes several well informed persons to insist that a final break in the uegotiations will not come. Yesterday after-m4*i he was sitting in front of a small cabin he occupies when at the lake, when Mr. Bone drove up. He was accompanied by his son and the nurse. He stated that he desired to rent a boat so as to havo a ride and get some lilies. Franz refused to let them have a boat, but said he would take them out. Most of the business of the professional bigamists, the detectives learned, is carried on through the mails, and this fact has brought the postal authorities into the case. Most of the victims, it has been ascertained also, are country girls whoso parents have saved a sma-li dowry for their daugli tcrs, and these girls have been easy prey for marriage brokers as well as the men iu their employ. "'Of course the treaty was not ratified. I Bay of course. I mean merely to say It was not ratlfle«l.

Disaster in Colunihia County The Japanese are certain that Russia eventually will yield far enough to permit the signing of a treaty, but their chief spokesman points out that the St. Petersburg government must make material concessions and that the stand taken by M.

The usual method of the brokers Is tirst to insert "personals" in city and country newspapers, in which a lone bachelor or u prosperous business man who is tireil of living alone, seeks a companionable wife with a little money. Strange as it may seem, thousands of replies are received in answer to these advertisements, and then the work of obtaiuiug the money of the vic tims begins. The girl who thinks she is answering the call of a lone bachelor or prosperous business man receives a reply from flic marriage broker, and in three cases out of live she visits the otlice of the agent. If she lives too far away from the agent the matrimonial negotiations are carried on through the mails. "While tiie report is not verbatim, it is substantially correct. Whether I read the treaty before making the statement Is relatively of little importance, but if I lie treaty as negotiated did not give France a reduction from our regular tariff rates on substantially seventy articles—to be exact, sixty-nine articles, counting every variety of silk manufacture as one article—then it may be conceded that I had not read it, and if it did not exempt twenty American articles from the provisions of tiie French minimum rate of duty as follows—horses, butter, lucerne and clover seed, fodder, cast iron, skins and hides, prepared; boots and shoes and parts of same, belts and cords and other leather articles manufactured for machinery, dynamos, machine tools, dynamo conductors and parts, are lamps, known as regulators; sugar, chicory roots, green or dried; Coming down the long steep hill near Mulnville, yesterday morning, the large double seated touring car in which were a party of three gentlemen and two ladles from Mahanoy City, who were making a tour of the country, and coming from Itingtown, got beyond control of the party who was driving the same, and dashed at a breakneck speed down the steep hill. For a time it looked as if the car would be wrecked and the party injured. Fortunately the man who had the machine in charge kept hit; head, and was able to keep in the middle of the road. As the car struck the water courses on its wild dash down the mountain side it seemed as though the party would be thrown out and the machine broken to pieces.

Conn., Aug. 28.—The Rev. R. W. Field, former pastor of the First Baptist church, was arrested in that church on the charge of creating a disturbance.

Now York, Aug. 28.—Bigamy as a profession, followed by persons throughout the country to an extent undreamod of by the authorities, has been brought to light as a result of the investigation of the story told by Celia Speilberger of BOO Sixth street to Assistant United States District Attorney Loekwood. So remarkable have been the discoveries made by the detectives that it was said that the federal grand jury as well as the postal authorities and the New York grand Jury will take action at once to stop the robbing of women by means of fraudulent and real marriages.

The Itusslan government will pay Japan a certain sum of money for commercial advantages in Sakhalin, and for the right to operate the eastern end of the Transsiberian ruilway through northern Manchuria. It will pay liberally for the food and clothing supplied to the 00,000 prisoners of war now held in the several provinces of the Japanese empire, but it will not combine these payments into the lump sum of $600,000,000 demanded by Baron Komura on last Thursday.

Speaking of the Equitable, Mr. Hyan said: "My purchase of the control of the stock and inducing Mr. Morton to take the presidency was only a public duty which any number of other men would have readily performed had they been aware of the consequences of a continuation of the dissensions among the old officers and some of the directors.As the Papers Reported Him.

"I did not see that portion of your address until I came west and have delayed writing that I might ascertain where I was reported to have made such a statement. I know I did not say it or anything that could be so interpreted, but I was not so sure about the report. The occasion was au informal luncheon, and the speech was Impromptu, though not extemporaneous. 1 find that both of the • Des Moines Republican daily papers represented at the luncheon reported me as saying: to Death Ing Himself. A. R. Friilbrown, chief civil engineer of the Sunbury division of the Pennsylvania railroad, dropped dead at his home in Sunbury this morning. Mr. Friilbrown has been troubled with heart disease for some time and today succumbed to a s«?vert- attack. That the east side marriage brokers have had in their employ men who made a business of mafrying women and deserting them after they had obtained their money has been known for a long time. As the eases developed these men have been sent to Jail, but it has not been suspected until recently that the practices of the east side brokers extended throughout the country and that women other than Ignorant immigrants had become victims of the wiles of these men. Because of the unusual noise of an automobile along the CederVille road to Honesdale this morning, two teams of horses, attached to different wagons. became frightened, with the result that Adam 1-utz, aged 20, of Cedervlllc, was killed by being trampled to death. Rudolph Franz, of 901 Meadow avenue, Scranton, was drowned in Mountain lake, of which he was part owner, while picking water lilies from a boat yesterday afternoon. C. E. Bone, of 324 Adams avenue, Scranton, his 1-year-old son and a nurse, Mrs. Dunlay. who were In the boat at the time, had a narrow escape from a similar fate. v. _ The indications are that Baron IComura will wholly withdraw the proposition for reimbursement if the Russian envoys will amend the Sakhalin proposition so as to pay liberally for the commercial concessions which will be permitted Russia throughout the entire island and for the ownership of the northern half. There is authority for the statement that the czar will not seriously object to this way out of the peace deadlock, although it will take several days to bring about a successful arrangement. Mr. Witte will have to send the Japanese proposal to St. Petersburg, so that on Tuesday an adjournment is not unlikely for fortyeight hours. He was about 50 years of age and had spent most of his life working for the company as engineer. He was very fond of cigarettes and it is thought that his ailment was brought about by the use of these. lie had just erected a beautiful new home and had furnished it magnificently lor his family. L,utz, who was a laborer, was on his way to Honesdale to work, with several companions, when the accident occurred. There were two wagon loads of men In the party, which left Cederville at about 7:30 o'clock. Near Honesdale. Charles Oibbs, of Honesdale. came along in his automobile, and, upon request, stopped his machine until the two wagons, which were following each other, had The accident happened shortly bofore 2 o'clock. When the body was taken from the water about threequarters of an hour la£er, It was found to be entwined with the stems of water lilies, with which the pond abounds. Franz was known to be a strong swimmer and it was probably because of the presence of the lilies and the resistance they Offered to his efforts that he met his fate. "There Is not the slightest doubt about the strength of the Equitable. It is as sound as the Bank of England. It will hereafter be conducted as an insurance company pure and simple, with an eye single to the welfare of the policy holders. As to the legislative investigation nothing could be better for the policyholders. Mr. Morton will afford the committee every facility and will aid in every way to the end that a full and thorough Investigation shall be made. If anybody connected with the company has been guilty of wrongdoing he should suffer. If anybody has anything in his possession belonging to the company he must give it back. " 'I was an enthusiast among those who favored the reciprocity treaties. Among these treaties was one with France. The French contract gave her an advantage in entering the American market over every other country on seventy articles, in consideration of which site agreed to apply her minimum tariff to our exports to Franco except as to twenty articles, including horses, butter, eggs, cheese, leather goods, machines (machine tools), dynamos, etc.—that is. if we would treat France better than we did any other comttvy France would treat us about as well as she did any other nation. She Found Many Victims. Mrs. Speilberger said she was the victim of one of the east side "schatchens," who introduced one of the professional bigamists to her and who. after lie had obtained her savings, disappeared. It was while trying to find her husband that she learned that she was only one of hundreds of women who had had the same experience and that the victims of the marriage brokers extended from one end of the country to the other.

The Question in ail probability will bo sent either to a special arbitration court suggested by President Roosevelt or to The Hague tribunal. It is the belief that this will be done that causes several well informed persons to insist that a final break in the uegotiations will not come. Yesterday after-m4*i he was sitting in front of a small cabin he occupies when at the lake, when Mr. Bone drove up. He was accompanied by his son and the nurse. He stated that he desired to rent a boat so as to havo a ride and get some lilies. Franz refused to let them have a boat, but said he would take them out. Most of the business of the professional bigamists, the detectives learned, is carried on through the mails, and this fact has brought the postal authorities into the case. Most of the victims, it has been ascertained also, are country girls whoso parents have saved a sma-li dowry for their daugli tcrs, and these girls have been easy prey for marriage brokers as well as the men iu their employ.

Disaster in Colunihia County The Japanese are certain that Russia eventually will yield far enough to permit the signing of a treaty, but their chief spokesman points out that the St. Petersburg government must make material concessions and that the stand taken by M.

The usual method of the brokers Is tirst to insert "personals" in city and country newspapers, in which a lone bachelor or u prosperous business man who is tireil of living alone, seeks a companionable wife with a little money. Strange as it may seem, thousands of replies are received in answer to these advertisements, and then the work of obtaiuiug the money of the vic tims begins. The girl who thinks she is answering the call of a lone bachelor or prosperous business man receives a reply from flic marriage broker, and in three cases out of live she visits the otlice of the agent. If she lives too far away from the agent the matrimonial negotiations are carried on through the mails. "While tiie report is not verbatim, it is substantially correct. Whether I read the treaty before making the statement Is relatively of little importance, but if I lie treaty as negotiated did not give France a reduction from our regular tariff rates on substantially seventy articles—to be exact, sixty-nine articles, counting every variety of silk manufacture as one article—then it may be conceded that I had not read it, and if it did not exempt twenty American articles from the provisions of tiie French minimum rate of duty as follows—horses, butter, lucerne and clover seed, fodder, cast iron, skins and hides, prepared; boots and shoes and parts of same, belts and cords and other leather articles manufactured for machinery, dynamos, machine tools, dynamo conductors and parts, are lamps, known as regulators; sugar, chicory roots, green or dried; Coming down the long steep hill near Mulnville, yesterday morning, the large double seated touring car in which were a party of three gentlemen and two ladles from Mahanoy City, who were making a tour of the country, and coming from Itingtown, got beyond control of the party who was driving the same, and dashed at a breakneck speed down the steep hill. For a time it looked as if the car would be wrecked and the party injured. Fortunately the man who had the machine in charge kept hit; head, and was able to keep in the middle of the road. As the car struck the water courses on its wild dash down the mountain side it seemed as though the party would be thrown out and the machine broken to pieces.
