"Some eight months ago a movement
wail made on the part of the Turks to senll
ah to the victims of their barbarIty at Sas-
soun. A gift of ! 2.000 was reported and a
committee was organized to see to Its dis-
tributlons. Small sums were offered to the
people on condition that they sign receipts

fered aid on such eondltuns here was the
government that with fra and sword , and
with almost unprecedented and fiendish
atrocity had utterly wasted their homes ,
coming and olerng a paltry dollar a head

proof of their gracious auverelgn's cliari-
table regard for thor , while they could go
among their Ioslem neighbors and identify
property worth many times thla sum a that

would be easy for the government itself to

conference wih Secretary Lament to which
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Browning was
invited. "I do not consider the Indians
were to blame for the Jaclson's hole alalr ; "
said General Coppinger at the close of the
conference. "They are entirely quiet now
and have been. In fact they would not say
'boo' to a goose. "
One question which the general brought
to the attention of Secretary Lament and
Commissioner Drowning was the advisability
of annexing the Jsckson's Halo country to
the Yellowstone National park. lie suggested -
geste that this acton woul solve the
problem by preventing all parties huntng
and fishing In that section , and he said that
ss thee ountry was not densely settled he
thought there would b comparatvely little
difficulty In making the change.
Commissioner Browning , replying to the
suggestion said that In the first place It
would be n matter for Secretary Smith and
then for congress , adding that he did not
know how the people of Wyoming woulll re-

WASHINGTON , Sept. 3.-The acting secretary -
tary of the interiOr has rendered three Important -
portant decisions regarding tIme ownershIp
of Immensely valuable accretion lands lying
north of the Chicago : rlver In the city of Clii-
cago. The gist of the decisions Is that the
land does not belong to the United States
government , but probably does belong to the
state of ' Illinois. '
The first case la that of George Streeter
and P. T. Johnson who applied to make
homestead entry of about 150 acres of land
lying on both sides 01 the Chicago river , at
its mouth In Lake Michigan. I 18 a portion
of land fled In by dumJlng botweomi the I
meander line amid that establshed by the
government survey In 1821 and the present
water Une. Johnson claims to have lived
there In a house built on piles for sixteen
years amid StreAter claims to have bean
wrecked there In 1886 and to Have lived there :
for two years. Technically this land Is part
of sections 3 and 10 , of township 3 , amid these
sectons
sections , the secretary says were selected
by the state of Illinois In 1827 for canal pur-
poses uller authoriy of an act of congres
The secretary says the slate or Illinois
owns the lands under time navIgable waters
or Lake Michigan within Its limits , arid that
the filling . In by _ any , person ' . or L. corporation . , _
not the owners or snore mantis gives onemot no
riparIan rights. In nny case , he says , the ,
Unltttl State government has no title and
therefore could convey none to any claimant.
The secoml case Is that of Jacob NIne amid
others against N. IC FaIrbank and others.
The former tried to locate military bounty
land warrants on 120 acres of Iccrelon land
north of the Chicago river between the origInal -
Inal survey meander line and the present
water line. The secretary Iechles ! that the
United States has no title to the hnd' .
The third case Is that of Peter T. Johnsn ,
who Joined with ' Streeter In the first men-
tinned applca'ton , to' locate valentine scriJ )
on ffty-f\'l acres of accretion land south of
the Chlcalo river. I 18 rejected like the
other8 for want of title by time UnIted States

CHICAGO , Sept 4-A very'ihere ' storm
of wind raIn and lightning prevailed
throughout the northern purlou ot Illinois
and Wisconsin tonight. Much ! 110 ! damage
was done and telegraph and tidhone com-
municaton was seriously \ntertuPted. \ Reports -
ports from many of the towns In Illinois north
of Doomlngton state that the storm was one
'
of' the most furious known In years. At
some poInts the storm reached . the proportions
of a hurricane.
Late reports from the village of Kinder-
hook , where It was reported that three lives
were lost , are to the elect that the first
stories were erroneous. I will be impossible ,
imowever to get definite detis of the dam-
age done at' that place until morning .
At 2 a. m. this ( Wednesday ) morning
the storm t8 still raging In the vicinity or
this city. The lightning flashes are almost
'
incessant and a heavy raIn 'Is falling. The
City of Louisville , one of the Craham &
Morton boats , heavily laden with passengers
as well aa freight , met with an accident In
mldlake tonIght which delayed her nearly

KANSAS CITY . Sept. 3Dr. George V. ' .
'raker , the Insurance swimmdler passed '
through hero this evening To n reporter
who met the train In Iowa the doctor talked
freely of his case HIs answer to questions ,
however , were gIven In an absent minded
way
way."I
"I did fall Into the rIver the night we
were fishing , " he said , "and came very near
being drowned. However there was driftwood -
wood foatng In time stream anti I caught a
log and floated down the rIver for a considerable .
able distance. FInaly I found a place where
I could touch bottom and waded out on the
land. I laid 1 down there all night and nil
time next day.
"I was In no condition to go back to the
Springs and accordingly I came to Kansas
City. Because of my appearance I went
tD a cheap rooming house on Grand avenue ,
near Flftim. I stayed there four days . On
the second day I shaved off nil IY beard.
Then I went to Chicago. From Chicago I
went to Milwaukee and stayed most of the fall
of that year. ly that time the name of
Frnker had been too much advertised anti I
tolll a roommate that I was from Denver
and my nme was Wiiam b'clmnoil. I went
by the name of Schnel from that time on.
"I lived In WIsconsin and Mlnneo ever
since. I stayed most of the those In towns.
I went from one place to anether. No , I
won't tel you what towns we visit oJ. I had
not decided to stay away until the papers
said all kinds of timings about me. Then I
knew I was In disgrace and could not make
a living If I came back. , I have wanted 10
como back a thousand tmes and Wa en the
point of comIng , but to dIsgrace ! rod \ hat t"e
people were saying about mo kept me from
doIng so. This living death Is horrble : , and
I am glad now I 1m goIng back. "
"Did your people know where you worn ? "
"No they did not , I dId not communicate
with them. "
"It was telegraphe from Duluth that you
expected a share of the insurance money. "
"That Is not true , It was all to go to my
hn'rA. "
" -j ; : Fraker carefully avoided answe-Ing
quertons Intended to reveal hIs means or
subsltence . Finally when the queH'on :
"Who gave you away to the insurance companies -
panics , and furnished the information that
caused your arrest ? " was bluntly 3ektd , the
doctors started suddenly and rl :
"I think It was George Harry , one of the
men who went fishing with me. I wrote him
from WisconsIn lest whiter I told hIm about
a young man , whm' name I won't mention ,
who was very , kind to me .hen I was @Ick.
J told him the young mum's name and I
think ho wrote to him and got my address
after I moved Into Mlnqesota. "
NO WAY TO PUNISH FlUKER.
K\NSAS .llTY , Sept. 3.-Attorneys for
the Kansas Mutual Insurance company , one
of the concerns victimized by Dr. George
l rake' ; the . Missouri swindler arrested at
Duluth Sunday , are preparing petitions to
file In the United States circuit court here
before Judge Foster of Topeka sitting In place
.t -udg Phillips . , to restrain .J . E. Lincoln
executor of the , Fraker estate : George W.1c. . '
.
Cruder trustee under tIme wi , and the Com-
mercal lnk at Liberty from paying out any
of the money pal l under jUdgment by the
tnrance cqmanlls. Petton will also be
fed to restrain time probate judge from dis-
posig of any of the money' he may have In
lila possession under the judgment.
Several days ago Mr. Lincoln started to
California to bring back five orphan children ,
beneficiaries of raker's Insurance monei I
Is probable that Uncle Jake Crowley , James
Triplett and George V. ' . Harvey. who testified
to feeing Dr. Fraker drown will be arrested
on charges of perjury , and there may be some
very startling developments I time case In the
next few days.
A gentleman promInenty connected with
I 'one 01 the Insurance companies victImized by
Fraker takes a ls8 conldent view or the
situation. He saId : ' "It 18 very unlke\
U.at Fraker can be held on any charge. He
disappeared , but ho never put In a claim for
any life Insurance. The InFurnce has been
paid , but there Is not any proof that he received -
ceh'ed a cent or tried to get a cent. The
money was Ilahl without any actual proof 01
death I can never be proved that Fraker
actually put up a job to defraud the companies -
panies without his own admission , and even
I I were proven nothing could be recovered
on account or the manner In which the money
has been distributed among the heirs. "

Perfect for Ohlrr'hll the Relips. , .
The moon was the center at at actol for
i the people of the Unlell States and II fact
'of ' the greater part of the world last night .
1 was totally eclipsed . and the pbenomelon
was visible In Omaha and throughout the en-
tire United States. I coul also bo observed ]
In some parts of Europe antI Africa , anti
throughout South America. I was the first
total eclipse so generally visible since 1888 ,
and that could not be observed by American
astronomers on account of the cloudy condition -
ton of the atmosphere.
Omahl , amid Incidentaly the United States ,
but very little or time rest of the world , hall a
total eclipse of the moon last March At that
timmmo , however , the heavens were more Q less l
filled wIth dark clouds , antI very Ito of the
phenomenon conM be observed This algl
to Omaha was not repeated again last night.
Omaha could not have chosen a more perfect
Ilght 01 whIch to view the beautful spec-
tacio anti consequently citzens stood gaping
al the streets anti curbs anti Porches while
old Mother Earth majestically anll slowly
swept her skirt of shndow over the face of
her falthrul amid obedient satellite.
The atmosphere was so clear that observers -
servers had imo dlnculy In seeing with the
naked eye the moon InJtrcelltbly absorbed
by the dark shallow unt the fnal shinIng
slice was engulfed , and In place of the cohd < I ,
silver , lovers' 100n there hung In the
heans a dull , coppery disk covered with
dark blotches , which the scientists say arc
the shadows of mountaIns , but which arc
really known to bo tIme reatures of the man
In the moon liven wihout an Instrument
the sight was a pretty one and night hawks
throw UII theIr heads every few minOtes . and
good , respectable citizens got out of bed
every once In a while to see how the old boy
was getting along
To look at the aJectnele through I Ille-
scope or even a field glass was somelhlng of
an enchantment anti those who were fortunate
enough to hove such on Instrnment could "ot
resist the temptaton or having one more
peep every few muinutes. As @on a8 the sU-
vcr orb entered the shadow every Imnglnable
color of time ! rainbow began to spread over
Us uncovered surace , while the covered por-
ton was of the beautiful nut-brown that Is
80 famou These colors were lght where
the surface of time moon Is a level , but where
there are supposed to be huge mountains
and unrathomable fissures they were beaut-
tuly dark. This brilliant array of color
could be seen until the moon wa totally
eclipsed , but the prettiest elect was visible
when time moon was about three-fourths In
the elmadoll' . Then I hung In the heavens ,
a hmmgo threatening , beautfnl acorn , the shel
of which was a complete rainbow of colors ,
a warni criomson on time inner edge. whteh
blended into a silver anti timen to a delIcious
hltmlsim green on time outer edge. The upper
portion of time acorn was a brown of all shmade.
When the eclipse was total the disk was a
pretty coppery browm. When time moan left
the shadow time same array of colors was dis.
played wlmiclm vcre vilble when time shadow
was entered.
Time moon was strictly on time. Its pro-
grain was arramiged beforeimantl by Frothier
Oettcn of Crelgimton college , amid lme itath time
satisfactiomi of fInding that tlmo moon obeyed
it to a second , It entereml tIme penumnhra at
8:17:09 : : o'clock , time utnbra at 9:55:09 : : , and at

in thin condition until 2:47:05 : : , when the edge
of the satellite again appeared. It left the

again completely uncovered.

NE\ ' YORK , Sept. 3.-It was tiulte cvi-
dent today that the Morgan-Belmont bond
syndicate expected another large drain on
the suhtreasury thus week. At the opening
of business it was' announced that time
Farmers' Loan and Trust , company liar ? tie-
posited $2,000,000 in time eubtreasury. No
explanation of the deposit was made , but It
sas generally kmmown that it was for the
account of time bonml syndicate anml the belief
was confirmed later by Washington advices.
This is time second ilnamicial . institution to
commme to the aid of time syndicate. Time first
was the Amnentcamm Exclmammge National baimk
which deposited $500,000 about a week ago.
At that tinme it ws saId that a rmurmmber of
national banks and financial instittmtiomms
wimicim bath ben members of the bond syndicate -
cato had agreed to aid Measra. Morgan anti
lielmont in their efforts to keep to the
spirit of time contract wltim the governmnermt
to nmalntain the gold reserve against exports
in every way in timeir power.
' deposit today , while it was not included
in time net gold reserve svili , if necessary ,
immaintain time reserve above $100,000,000. The
rerervo today was a trifle in excess of $101-
000,000.
The first withdrawal of time week and montlm
was made by Nesalade & Fuller , who notified
the treasury officials that they would ship
$160,000 in gold on an outgoing steamship
tomorrow. Later in the day lbosker , Wood
& Co. announced that timey would require
$1,000,000 in gold for shipmmment tomorrow ,
making a total of $1,100,000 ordered during
the day. Notwhtlmstanding time continued gold
shipments time feeling iii financial circles concerning -
cerning the outlook was serene and lmnpeful
Time possibility of the $100,000,000 being eu-
croachmod upomm as soon as the bond symmdlcate
fatied to continue to pour gold into time tmb-
treasmmry does tmot seem to be considered , This
is due to time expectatiomm that time rnovenmemmt
of crops to Europe will , before long , cause a
