STEAL A FORTUNE IN JEWELS

New York Hotel Are Caught
with Booty.
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. "I am
an actor by profession." he, said, "and
came to this country a few months ago,
but couldn't get a place. I was compelled
Anally to take this Job aa night clerk at
$40 a month. I had never seen anything
but stage diamonds and when I saw so
much of the real thing on the women at
Vie hotel I was denied. I also decided
that a man who worked for $40 a month
was an Idiot.
, , "Whan Gltcker got his Job I had. a talk
with him. I had never met hint before,
but he was to my way of thinking. We
framed up our get-rlob-qiilck plan. It was
easy, I wss practically manager of the
hotel at night I had charge of all the
keys and knew which of the guests were
In or out Sometimes Gleeker would go
VP to clean out a room and sometimes I
would go. y '
! "W figured today that we had stolen
In all about $100,000 worth of stuff and were
going to fade away the first thing In the
morning. Wtplanned to head for the St.

CHICAGO, June 17. By unanimous vote
the republican national committee this aft
ernoon decided1 to seat the delegates-at-largs

lette. '
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. A. C. Klnneard, J. A. McLan. A.

the Lyorr faction. K !
In both these districts ths deolslon wss

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

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."

NEW YORK. June 17.-Secretary of Com
merce and Labor .George B. Cortelyou, who
bad a long conference with R. S. 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.

B0BR1K0FF DIES OF WOUNDS
Govsrnor General of Finland Dieg of
Asiassin's BulUt.-
ST, PETERSBURG STIRRED UP OVER CRIME
Asserted that from the First the
Distlaarulahed Victim Had Na
Chance to Recover from
the Injury.
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

Peruna cures all aueh case of dyspepsia,
simply because it eyres catarrh wherever
located. The reason so many coses of dys
pepsia suffer on and on without any relief,
trying this medicine and that medicine, is
that these conditions are not recognised as
catarrh of the stomach.
Any one suffering from dyspepsia, having
tried the ordinary remedies without relief,
wculd be safe to assume that their case Is
one of catarrh of the stomach, and should
at .once begin a course of Peruna. Peruna
Is sure to cure these cases. It never falls.
