New Tort detectives have run down a mysterious scrle-i of robberies which dur ing the last tea days depilved the guests of La Marquise, a fashionable family ho tel at 12 East Thirty-first street, of $50,000 worth of Jewels. The officers arrested thj thieves and captured a . valise which was full of diamonds, rubles, pearls, sunburst, tiaras, brooches and all manner of gem.. Tbey made the arres'a and recovered, tba goods within an hour after Mrs. H sissy Corwln, wife of a millionaire and. a guest t the hotel, had discovered , that $80,000 worth of her Jewels had been stolen. . . Two weeks ago a nsw night clerk was engaged, at the hotel, Henry J. Darn's, a font, obliging man about 86 years old. 41 few days later there was a change among the bellboy and George- Qleoker beoam chief of the staff.. Immediately William Bcottswood, owner of the hotel, began to receive complaints of robberies. John Kennedy, a private . doteotlv formerly employed at the Waldorf, was hired, but the mysterious robberies went on with even greater magnitude than be fore. City detective were then brought into the case. They went to the hotel as guests, hired fine rooms and spent the city's money liberally, buying highballs and getting acquainted with everybody In the place from the humblest dishwasher to the most exclusive guest, Darda and decker, however, refused to be drawn Into the tiet of goad fellowship, When Mrs. Corwln reported breath'assly on returning from the theater the loss of $30,000 worth of Jewelry, the detectives noticed that Darda was V not at his. desk. They discovered that he lived at ISO Bast Thirty-third street. They went there lit a hurry and found Darda In the rooms. Ha was nervous and much embarrassed. They learned that Gleeker shared the rooms with him. Both suspects were arrestel. After Darda had been locked up for a short time be mad a con fens Ion.

' While the contest is partly settled so far aa the national convention la concerned, the dispute among the two factions of Wisconsin republicans la not ended. Wis consin courts are to be asked to determine which of the two conventions recently held was entitled to have the names of its nominees for state officers placed on the official ballot under the regular party name. After the national committee had de cided against the supporters of the gov ernor from Wlsocnsln, the leaders of La folletta'a side announced their determina tion to carry the fight to the end, and it Is probable. In spite of the decision of the committeemen, that the dispute will again be' brought out before the committee on credential In the national convention. The Fifth Missouri district was then de cided.

ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS THE MEN Declare Commercial Ihtereet Are Hot Antagonistic to Preseat Ad ministrate aad Will Hot Fight This Fall. According to Timothy I Woodriiff, for mer lleutensnt governor of the stst of New York, Senator Fairbanks will be President Roosevelt's running mate and the election of the ticket Is assured. Mr. Woodruff spent aeveral hours In Omaha yesterday afternoon. He Is presi dent of the Smith-Premier Typewriter com pany and while here met the employes of the company In Its offices at Seventeenth and Farnam street far th purpose of dis cussing matters of business. Quits a party was present at the meeting to hear what the president had to say about carrying on a successful campaign in the sale of type writers. Hs went to Chicago to attend the republican national convention, leaving Omaha about I o'clock. "The announcement that Attorney Gen eral Knox would be senator from Pennsyl vania to succeed Msthew Quay came while I was In Pittsburg the other day," said Mr. Woodruff, "and of course I was Inter ested In th matter and made some Inquiry as to whether the commercial Interests In Pittsburg and Pennsylvania were opposed to Mr. Knox for ths office. I found that there had been practically no opposition to him from a commercial standpoint and aa Pittsburg is one of the great commercial centers of America It appears to me the business interests of the country csnnot bs very much opposed to the policy so fur pursued by the administration, as Attorney General Knox has certslnly been In the forefront of the fight thst has been made on the so-called trusts of the country." Thinks Fairbanks Will Win. While Mr. Woodruff had heard of the candidacy of John L Webster for the nom ination on the republican ticket for vice president he had not taken enough Interest in the matter to know Just what chance Mr. Webster stands of landing the plum, in view of the fact that he believes Senator Fairbanks to be the man slated for the nomination. "I have Just returned from a trip to Colorsdo," said, Mr. Woodruff, "and there is no question but that the republican na tional ticket wil'. carry that state. I also understand that there Is hardly a chance that the democrats can carry Nebraska, or any other western' state, for that mat ter. When the eastern people And that the election of the republican ticket Is assured New York and other states which are usually In the doubtful lint will lino up for the candidates of th party and give them a large majority.- "Just how the democratio situation Is it would be Impossible for me to say. I have been absent from home during the pest ten days and have not kept in as close touch with matters political as I do when I am at home. There seems to be an irreparable division In the party, however, and how they will fix it up In the con vention I am not seer enough to say at this time. "It seems hardly possible to tn that an extra aesslon of ths Nsw York legislature will be called for the purpose of consider ing the water supply of the city at this tlms. New York is a very large state and th expense of an extra session would be very great, besides we are not in the habit of having them. I do not remember of but one, and that was called to consider matters of great Importanca. There is no truth in the reports thst Governor Odell has been abroad to seek a Candida. for the governorship of New York, There has been mention made of Porter and Choate for the nomination, but I do not believe that Governor Odeit consulted with them abou. accepting it during hi trip to Europe." Mr. Woodruff la very optimistic concern ing the outlook, politically and otherwise. and seem to believe that the republican party Is stil capable of managing th af fairs of the nation on a solid basis. DIVERS PILE UP DEAD (Continued from First Page.) been added to the terrible condition re sulting from the Slocum disasttr through the over offlciousncss of some person at the morgue. As a result some of the bodies of the dead probably never will be identi fied and will go to a last resting place in the humble plot furnished by the city's charity. When the bodies were taken by hundreds from the water and laid In row on the grass at tr North Brother Island each was tagged with a number. That number Was carefully recorded and the pa pers, valuables -and trinket which would have served to positively Identify the bodies were removed and placed in sep. arate packages, each package bearing a number corresponding . to the number on ths body from which th article were taken. These packages then were placed In tb custody of the coroner. Scores of the bodies at th morgue were burned or bruised beyond recognition, but It was hoped that all might be claimed by friend by means of the paper and Jewelry, When the bodies were taken to the morgue they were placed In numbered boxes, but In many cases these numbers did not corre spond with the figures the bodies had pre viously borne. As a result the plans were completely upset and the numbered pack age ' of valuable became practically worthless as a means of Identifying th un fortunate owners. Twa Oodles Ar Lost, On ess which cam to the attention of the officials today was that of A. T. Hill Of Williamsburg. Mr. Hill called at the morgu yesterday and identified th oodles of his brother-in-law, William Rlcbter, and th wife of the latter, and they were re moved to the office of an undertaker. In th afternoon th bodies of Catherine and Lillian Rlchter, t and year old, respect ively, also were identified by him. When he called at the morgu today with an un dertaker, who was to attend to the burial of tb bodies, they could not be found. The bodies were numbered 173 and 175, re spectively, end the authorities at th morgu have no record of any such bodies having been given to anyone, though they had a record of Identification made by Mr. Hill yesterday. It is thought that some undertaker was given the bodies In place of two others which he should have taken, through a confusion in the number. Pilot Ia-aore Sla-nals. While the divers and others were busy looking for bodies today the steamer Grand Republic, the sister ship of the General Slocum, psed up the river with a party of excursionists on board. Bvery deck wss crowded. As the vessel neared the point where the divers were working on the wrecked vessel, the police boat Patrol whistled for the Grand Republic to slow down so aa not to disturb ths divers, but according If the police, no attention was paid to th warning signals. It was only when the Grand Republic waa almost upon the divers' float and the wave made by the vessel began to make the float rock and sway that the pilot sssrasd to frails that be should obey tb By th time the Grand Republic was abreast of put on ine wmni i.'wrvir, an Birim . again and th boat proceeded up th sout nil MET REailRBMENTB OF THH LAW Last Iasloa of th laea Showed First Class Ealpmeat. WASHINGTON, June 17. Supervising Inspector General George Uhler of the steamboat Inspection service has gone to New York to take up personally the di rection of the inquiry Into the General Slocum disaster. The complete records of the last Inspec tion of the General Slocum, which was made May Of this year, were received today at the Innpectlon service bureau. They Indicate that the examination of the vessel was very thorough. The records say that life preservers were of tho kind required by law and that they were In good condition and easy of ac cess; that the boats and life rafts of the steamer were in good working order and of ample capacity for the accommodation of the Slocum passengers, even though the limit of $,600 were on board; that there was a good Are hose, fully .400 feet In length, on the ship and that It was easily and quickly attachable to the fire pumps, to start which the engineer had only to push a lever; and, finally, that there was on board a full complement of men and that the crew was well disciplined. In a report received today Inspector' Rody says: "Aside from the repots which appear In the public prets, there are no new devel opments In the matter of the Slocum dis aster except that the local board has writ ten to the master, W. H. Van Schalk, cal Ing his attention to his duty under section 17 of rule .8, rules and regulation relative to making reports."

Rodle, in spector of the Second district of New York, after his arrival here, said today that he would give his persona! attention to the federal Investigation of the Slocum disas ter. Mr. Cortelyou said: I wish to say that a most thorough In vestigation will be made Into this most awful tragedy and that no stone will be left unturnoij to lay bare the whole truth with regard to it. As secretary of the Department of Com merce and Labor I am the head of the fed eral Inquiry into this affair, and I propose to give it my personal and. Insofar as pos sible, my undivided attention until the matter Is finally settled. As soon as prac tical the board of inspectors will get to gether and take testimony. This Inquiry will he separate and distinct from any pro ceedings brought by city, state or county officials. I want to correct an Impression that seems to have gone abroad that this inves tigation will be left to subordinates In the department. This is absolutely untrue. I will hold the inquiry myself and will have ample asslftanco from the most prominent nnd efficient men in the department. Every one who can throw the least light upon the matter will be brought before tne boara and the taking of testimony will continue so long as any one can be found who can old us In arriving at a correct estimate of the facts. The sittings will continue until th whole truth I known. HOSPITALS ARE BEI50 EMPTIED More Bodies Foand After Hall Is rhoasrht to Be Empty. NEW YORK. June 17.

HELSrNGFORS, Finland, June 17. Tb Russian flag at half-mast over the gov ernor's palace this morning proclaimed to the people of Helsingfors that General Bobrikoff, governor general of Finland, Is dead, of a bullet wound Inflicted by an assassin. There was no excitement in ths city nnd no attempt at a demonstration was made. The father, mother, brother and sisters of Schaumann, the aasansln, of Bobrikoff, were arrestsd and subjected to a searohlng explanation, but later on were released and allowed to return to their country home, How far the Swedish party Is implicated in the killing of the governor general ha not been established, but the authorities ar convinced that Schaumann, who, it la claimed, had accomplices, whq found In the brooding, half-fanatical student a ready tool. Warning of the intended assassination of th governor general reached the author Itlea last Deoember, but Bobrikoff, against th pleading of his official family, declined an escort. A few months later the warn ing was repeated and Bobrikoff thereafter was attended by a small guard and a num ber of secret service men, except when within the senate building, the senate hav ing requested permission to furnish protec tion for the general there. So Chance to Recover. It appear that General Bobrikoff never had a chance to survive. The surgeons had only the slenderest hope from the operation which they performed, and they realised that death was almost inevitable. During th operation the pulse altogether ceased more than once. Th injuries In flicted were so terrible as to Indlcats that the bullet wo of an explosive nature. When the operation was completed the patient regained and maintained conscious ness for about three hours, during which he spoke a few words to his wife and daughters. Then at I o'clock he became unconscious and rsmalned so until he died. The body reposes in a room In the gov ernor's palace, attired, In a military uni form. General Bobrikoff will be burled Monday next In the family vault at Ser glevl, near St Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG, June 17. The asias slnatlon of Gensral Bobrikoff has stirred up a great sensation and la temporarily absorbing Interest from ths war. Th pa per are filled with extended biographies of the deceased, detailing the difficulties of his office, editorials denunciatory of the crime and comments on the conditions in Finland. The Novoe Vremya says that Bobrikoff, a the representative of supreme authority in Finland, proved himself to be a stout, honest defender of Russia's policy. Ej..WItness Describes Shooting. Senator Linden, vice president of the senate, who witnessed ths shooting, fur nished the Associated Press with the fol lowing account: Schaumann reached the building a few minutes bsfore Governor Bobrikoff, greeted a mussenger and aia noiraM usual emotion. He ascendfd to the third floor and was seen peering over in raiiins. No attention wss paid to bis action, as It was quite usual for sightseer to thus get a view of the governor general. Bobrikoff. In full uniform, drove up to the senate, dismissed bis aides at the door and started u;stalrs.
