MANY PEOPLE WANT AID

MRS. SAGE IS BESIEGED

Simply Deluged With Letters From Every Part of the United States and Europe.

Publishers' Tress New York, Aug. 4. Mrs. Russell Sage has been overwhelmed with begging letters from all over the United States and from foreign countries. Some of them show by their postmarks they were mailed as soon as the news of Mr. Sage's death was made public. Mrs. Sage today, at her home at Lawrence, L. I., authorized the statement that she will pay no attention to begping letters. She does not read them, beyond such perusal as is necessary to establish their character. None of them will be answered, and it will lie useless to irclose stamps. More than 7i0 letters asking Mrs. Satre for aid reached her at her Lawrence cottage this week, and several hundred more were addressed to the Russell Sage office. The clerks at the o.Tice threw these letters into the waste basket. Mrs. Sage never sees them.

OPENS THE WAR ON GRAIN TRUST

John Hill, Jr., Begins Tirade Against Public Warehouse Owners.

TRADE IS BEING RUINED

Interstate Commerce Commission Will Meet in Chicago Next Month and Hill Will Have His Say.

(Publishers' Press Chicago, Aug. 4. John Hill. Jr., has reopened his war on the owners of public warehouses in Chicago with the declaration that the grain trade of the country is in the clutches of a ' trust," Mr. Hill says that ho now has in his possession evidence that will show the existence of an illegal combination among the warehouse men and that he intends to fight the "trust" to its death. The Interstate commerce commission will meet here next month and Mr. Hill says he expects to see an investigation of the so-called elevator trusts started at that time. Meantime he is pressing his charge before the States Attorney He.il y, intending to show that the Armour Elevator Company is violating an injunction issued by the late .Iudse Tuley eight years ago prohibiting the owners of public elevators from storing grain belonging to themselves in their own houses. A shary decline in prices of oats last month, in consequence of which some of the smaller shippers and dealers lost large sums of money is said to have been directly due to the alleged evil practices of some of the laree elevator concerns, which manipulated receipts and the inspection in such a way as to give the impression that the market was threatened with a flood of new oats when such was not the case.

HE WON BRIDE BY MAIL

FORMER RICHMOND MINISTER IS DECLARED INSANE APPLICATION MADE TO EASTHAVEN FOR ADMISSION.

Simon A. Holt, former minister of

the gospel, whose queer actions and

apparent disregard for all decency, caused his arrest a few days aso. will likely bo an inmate of the Eastern Hospital for the Insane, though there has arisen some question as to whether Holt can legally be accepted by Dr. S. E. Smith because of his nonresidence in Richmond or any other part of this hospital district. Though it is asserted that Holt "claims" Richmond as his home, this must be established, it is asserted, in some legal manner. However, it was apparent to the authorities that Holt was not a proper person to be given liberty and he himself had admitted to Judge Converse that there were times when the state tf his mind was such that he was not accountable for his actions. Yesterday a commission of lunacy acted on the case and declared the former minister to be a fit subject for treatment in an insane hospital. The commission was composed of Drs. C. S. Bond. F. II. Dunham and A. L. Bramkamp and Justice Abbott. Evidence Was Complete. Evidence brought before the roramisslon was similar to that presented to Judge Converse in the city court a few weeks ago. Application for Holt's admission to Easthaven has formally been made by County Clerk Haas and Richmond is given as the man's residence. In the meantime, Holt will be held in jail. Should it be held that he cannot be admitted to the Eastern Indiana Hospital it is not plain what disposition can be made of the man. It is believed that Holt has been something of a wanderer for several years past and therefore it might bo legally claimed that Richmond was his residence In the absence of evidence to show that he had any other residence.

THE CASE WAS CONTINUED

The injunction proceedings brought by the Eaton Telephone Company against the Richmond Home Telephone Company to prevent the. latter from severing relations with the plaintiff, was called in the Wayne Circuit Court yesterday ami continued until August 14. The trouble between the companies is likely to be amicably settled In the meantime and the proceedings dropped.

RESTRAINING ORDER OUT

Judp;e Fox has issued a temporary restraining order against Bonilee Kel ly, to prevnt her from making disposition of any property transferred to her by her husband, John Kelly. The latter brought suit to have her title in the property revoked by the court. On August 15 the case will be called.
