MAN DIES AT AUTO WHEEL
Dead at Wheel for Time Until Wife
of Ottumwa Man Discover Fat
of Her lioaliaud.
OTTUMWA. la., June l.-f Speclal.)-
Death steered the auto in which rode Mrs,
J. W. Jordan and the lifeless form ot her
husband here yesterday.
Returning from tin auto trip in the conn
try, J. W. Jordan, member of the Board
of Supervisors and one of the best known
men in Ottumwa, died suddenly of heart
disease. Mrs. Jordan knew nothing of her
husband's condition until the machine left
the beaten track. She turned to her com
panion In alarm when site found that he
was dead.
She Immediately seized the wheel and ap
plied the brake.
The wholo complication center upon the
friendship of Mr. Sargent and George
Giacomini, an Omaha man. Mr. Giacomini
caught the principal fish, whose Inner se
crets were three, and whose generic name
was muscallonge. He presented It to Mr.
Sargent, as a token of good will. He
marked the express package, "one muscal
longe fish." Likewise, he wrote a letter to
Mr. Sargent explaining that the muscal
longe weighed Just sixteen pounds, and was
the biggest fish caught thus far at the
fishing Vamp at Buhl, Minn.
When the muscallonge was dissected by
Billy, the porter, the three secrets wiggled
out, Hve as any piscatorial wlggler had
ever wiggled tvefore. "Hold on there,"
said a chance federal officer, "there's four
fish here, where only one Is supposed to
be. Sargent you'll have to pay for this;
either your friend or that muscallonge
fished bass out of season."
Mr. Sargent alleges he 1 innocent and
so Is hla friend. '

NEW YORK, June 1. -There was another
break In prices of stocks today when the
market opened as a further effect of, the;
granting of an Injunction against the pro
posed advance In western railroad rates.
The market had to absorb liquidation from
foreign sources which had the first nawa

Supporting orders and short covering
steadied prices immediately after the open
ing, but offerings continued heavy and
prices broke again. The severe decline. In
the first hour resulted from heavy selling
of both accounts. Many of the leading com
mission houses were reported as having
sold long stock and the way prices crum
bled bespoke liquidation. A significant
feature of the decline was the selling by
brokerage houses with western connections.
Liquidation continued in the market and
prices yielded steadily without effect from
the occasional supporting orders. The l ail
roads which are enjoined from putting ad
vance freight rates Into effect today still
led the decline, but the whole list was ex
ceedingly weak.

The first lull In the storm of liquidation

in extreme cases and trading quieted down
at that time. Then followed an hour of

Strong Criticisms Made
of Roosevelt's Speech
IjONDON, June 1. Mr. Roosevelt's
speech at Guild Hall yesterday continued
today to be the sunsatlon of the newspa
pers throughout the country.
The editorial comments on his startling
utterances coucerrlng British rule in Egypt
were Influenced as a rule by partisanship.
The conservative press defends the con
clusions drawn by the American statesman,
while the liberal papers oppose his deduc
tions with equal rerlousness.
But outside the questions of fact set
forth the newspapers almost without ex
ception challenge the propriety of a foreign
guest of the city criticising the colonial
policy of the empire.
Of the comments of the conservative
press the following are samples:
The Glooe: "It was not the time nor tha
place, nor was the ex-presldent the person,
to display this particular form of Interest
In the business of his hosts."
The Pall Mall Gasette: "The unconven
tional la Justif ed only by success. If he
prefers realities to the properties where
vital Interests are concerned, so does the
Judgment of the British people."

ST. LOUIS, June 1. Because of the Ill
ness ot the defendant, the night session In
the case of Mrs. Dora E. Doxey, accused of
poisoning William J. Krder, waa abandoned
tonight. She will take the stand the frlst
thing in the morning.
According to her attorneys, Mrs. Doxey
will deny that she caused Erder's death,
but sh? will admit many of the other
charges concerning her relations with him.
She will endeavor to excuse these acts on
the ground that she was a morphine fiend
Dr. H. B. II. Gradwohl, the first witness
in defense of Mrs. Doxey this afternoon,
uescnotu tne symptoms that attended
Elder's last illness as arsenical poisoning,
uui ueciareu uiey were also the symptoms
of several diseases. He produced on the
stand dogs and a rabbit to which he had
been feeding cacaodylite of soda, the arsein
cal compound said to have been used to
kill Krder. To one dog he had fed 500
grains of the rug In three days, and it
showed no 111 effects.
Dr. C. D. Evans of Columbus. Neb., testi
fied that he attended Mrs. Doxey last No
vember wlille she was Buffering from the
effects of the extreme use of morphine.
He declared she took fourteen grains of
the drug a day for two days and that she
was nut . responsible for statements she
made, which the state claims damage her
case.
Dr. H. Morrow, also of Columbus, who
was called in for consultation by Dr.
Evans, corroborated his testimony.

he had received a message from the De

special commissioner. It was then agreed
by the attorneys on both sides that the
evidence be heard ' by a Jury and Judge
Mcl'herson ordered that the Jury be turn

work of securing a Jury was not completed
at noon.
It was announced that It would require
about ten days to hear all the evidence In
the case.
particularly political subjects seemed a
social crime not far from sacrilege, but In
reading, the speech carefully, there Is found
nothing of which to compluln."
Of the liberal papers, the Westminster
Gaxette questions the n.-cessily and dis
agrees with the conclusions of the speech.
The Star says that "Mr. ituosevelt should
learn that lie Is not exempt friii the cus
toms of civilized nations." (
Mr. Roosevelt parsed today quietly. He
visited the National gallery during the fore,
noon and had luncheon with several men
prominent In the Irish nationalist party.
