URGENT APPEAL ISSUED.

In Extra' Inning, City League Game, Starrs Defeat Moulders.
Laporte, Ind., June 20. Coroner Mack has received from Dr. Walter
Haynes of Rush Medical college, Chicago, Information to the effect that he had found in his examination of the stomach of Andrew Helgelein, of Aberdeen, S. D., whose dismembered body was found buried with nine others on the farm of Mrs. Bella Gunness traces of both arsenic and strichnine. Dr, Haynes will make a formal and detailed report In a few cays. The finding of the traces of poison in the stomach gives the first authentic information on the manner in which Mrs. Gunness disposed of her victims. Attorney H. W. Worden, who is looking after the defense of Ray Lamphere. charged with the murder of Mrs. Bella Gunness. her three children and Andrew Helgelein, is very much wrought up over the attitude of the county officials in the Gunness case, and has made a public appeal to the citizens to come to the rescue of the defense by signing notes to be paid in the event of the apprehension of Mrs. Gunness. Says Woman Is Living. The statement was also occasioned by the receipt of a letter from a Missouri man, whose name the attorney refuses to make public, declaring that if the $5,000 reward is offered and a man who knows Mrs. Gunness is sent to him, he will produce the missing woman at a place seventy miles from his own. town. Attorney Worden will" not
place this information in possession of the authorities, but . says he will act upon it himself. In his formal statement Mr. Worden says: "The coroner of Laporte county has pronounced Mrs. Gunness dead, and her supposed body has been sent to Forest Hill cemetery for burial. As the attorney for Ray Lamphere, I am not interested in that matter, as his guilt or innocence does not depend upon whether Mrs. Gunness is or is not dead, but as a citizen I desire to say that from all the facts that have come to light, together with certain evidence that has come to me as the attorney of Lamphere. I am convinced that Mrs. Gunness is still enjoying life and liberty ,and will, if not apprehended, continue her pursuit of happiness. "I believe there is much more evidence to show that Mrs. Gunness is alive than to show that she is dead. If she did meet her death in the burning of the house, signing of the subscription list can do no harm, and it is the duty of every citizen to assist in her capture."
EASTHAVEN IS BEATEN.
In a game that was superior to many played on the same grounds by professionals this season, the Hoosier Drill and DStarr Piano teams of the City League, battled twelve long innings yesterday afternoon at Athletic Park. The end came in the twelfth when Kuhlenbeck, for the Starrs, who had been substituted for D. Cooney. hit safe and later scored. It was a pretty contest from start to finish and was deserving of a large crowd of spectators. The score was 4 to 3.
Johnson for the Hoosiers and J. Kuhlenbeck for the Starrs, labored on the slab and each was effective. Both pitched a masterly game and it was not the fault of ither that the game went overtime. Good support was given the twirlers much to the disgust of the batters, who hoped to bring matters to an early close. Score:

In jail, so what will East Germantown
do now. Companions In Liberty, they
are reunited after a short separation
behind prison bars. A few days ago Frank Langdon the saloonist at the quiet village was arrested upon the
charge of violating the liquor laws
Yetserday afternoon Ed Miler, bar
tender for Langdon, was arrested on the charge of public intoxication and
was placed in the county jail to renew
acquaintance with his employer.
The question now presented is, who will operate the saloon while Langdon and Miller are under the lash of
the lay. Can Mrs. Langdon do it?
If not, who will? The story of Miller's
fall from grace is short, but interesting in Its nature. Mrs. Langdon left the village stillnes to come to the city
in the effort o obtain bail for her hus
band. Business had not been the best
during his absence and he is needed at home. While she was in the city Miller was having a grand good time
on Langdon's liquor. It was coming
easy and going the same way and Mil
ler cared not how much went when it cost nothing. When Mrs. Langdon returned she found the trusted employe In a beastly state of drunkenness. The sheriff was called and Deputy Mashmeyer responded. It was not without difficulty that Miller was brought to the city. The effects of his bout had not passed by 8 o'clock last evening and prisoners at the jail were anticipating a night of wakefulness. Some of them considered the proposal of organizing a class of 'astronomy to watch the stars through grated windows In lieu of a telescope lens. ... . - .

HE KNEW "WILL" TAFT WHEN THE NOMINEE WAS A BOY
William Thorpe, of Richmond, Used to Let the Big Republican Leader Ride on His Grocery Wagon. He Himself Now Occupies Enthusiastic Seat on the Taft Band Wagon Recalls Old Days With Pride.
"Know Taft?" he repeated. "You
mean Will. I reckon. But just a minute, while I get these bananas for this lady."
And the visitor was left standing in
the busy aisle of an up-town grocery
as William Thorpe, to whom the question had been put, hurried to the front door and stripped the bananas from the bunch. The visitor had heard that "old Mr. Thorpe." as he is known by his hundreds of friends, had known the presidential nominee when a boy, in Cincinnati, and being one of those friends mentioned, he ventured to ask
him of It. He was speaking to a buy
er:
"Yes, here they are. Thank you.
Want any nice peaches? No?" And the customer was gone. He returned
and stood marking his sales book, his eyes twinkling and gleaming as he recalled with pride, the by-gone days.
"Why Will, you know, why! I knew
him when he wasn't this high. No more'n three, I reckon. Lived up on Auburn Heights, there in Cincinnati and I worked at the grocery store. Awful fat ffttle fellow, Will was. Ha'.
Used to climb on my wagon when I
was driving around and ride with me.
Climbed on just like the tots do here just like you used to, and ride with
me."
And he smiled as he talked. "Will wasn't like the rest of them
boys, though. He was a sort o' leader
like. No, no; never a boss. Just a

leader, and there's an awful lot of difference. The other boys seemed to just kind o foller him around, like they knew he could run 'em. "Then Will grew up and I never saw him much. He went away to Yale
school, I think, and then I'd see him when he'd come home. Was always
pleasant and nice. When you've
known Will Taft once you'll find him just the same always. Just the same.
Never seems to change a mite. He comes back to Cincinnati after a
while and went to Btudyin' law with
his father.
"Mighty fine man, old Judge Taft was, too. Will came from fine stock.
Mother fine lady. I used to take gro
ceries up o their house on top of the hill and Wlll'd ride with me He was alius kind o' athletic, too. Liked to run around and play. "Course I've been follerin what
Will's been doin' and I know he is the man for the place, He never changes, you know. Will Taft once, then it's Will Taft always. He was a great boy." Mr. Thorpe had told his story and he was, proud, as any man should be, to know he had carried the future president around with him on a grocery wagon, or in any other way. He proved that "Will" Taffs boyhood was wholesome and happy; that his manhood is like his boyhood. "For." he said, with pride in his eyes, "Will Taft never changes."
CITY IS THREATENED
High Waters Endanger Life And Property in East St. Louis.
WORK TO SAVE THE TOWN.
East St. Louis, 111., June 20. Five hundred men, led by Mayor Cook and East St. Louis officials, are working hard to stop the rising of the Mississippi river, which threatens to sweep the city with destruction and further loss of life. One is already dead. The city is in peril from the Mississippi on the north and the back waters on the south. The army of men are piling sandbags and strengthening the embankment of the Baltimore & Ohio elevated tracks and the Illinois Central embankment. The current is now within ten inches of the top of the embankment and should the Baltimore & Ohio embankment yield a sweeping current would cover the "Island", paralyze terminal facilities and advance on the residence part of the town.
Mayor Cook has arranged in such event to rush a large force to the relay depot and guard the 700 feet of exposed territory between Broadway and Summit avenue. Here it was that the great fight was made to save East St. Louis from the flood in 1903. The big levee at Prairie Du Pont burst, flooding more than 10,000 acres of land surrounding. The back water routed 800 residents of Rush City, a negro settlement just south of East St. Louis. The water is from ten to twelve feet deep and is surging against the Illinois Central tracks, which are patrolled. It is impossible to estimate the property loss, but it is thought that it will reach into the millions, as most of the flooded land bore wheat ready to harvest
HOTEL LANDLORDS BAISELOUD WAIL Claim Chicago Crowds Smaller Than Expected.
Chicago, June '20. Chicago hotel men were disappointed in the convention crowds, according to their statements last night. The delegates and visitors were fewer in number and they were not given to spending much money, the hosts of downtown hosteleries declared. They admitted however, that there had been " some profit." The crowd was not so large by thirty per cent as we expected, said Manager Will Shafer of the Auditorium hotel. "We made ready for at least 2.50O persons each day in the two houses, and our largest number was less than 1,700. Of course, the getting ready called for extra expense. And the visitors were not the patrons usually expected. Thousands ate at smaller places, lunch houses and restaurants." Managers of other hotels upheld this declaration and even the employes had a complaint. Theirs concerned the smallness of the tips which the visitors left behind.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 20. Two men lost their lives and two others may die as a result of a rumor that a child had fallen in a vault at 730 North Holmes avenue, in the rear of
a boarding house frequented by for
eign born laborers. In their attempt to find the body of
the supposed child in the excavation, which had only been made Friday, the four men climbed into it at the peril
of their lives.
The excavation is about 12 feet deep. The fatalities resulted from gas
which had escaped from a broken pipe
into the excavation. The dead: Andrew Martelek.
Joseph Lorenchies. Dangerously injured: Joseph Rulig'. Augustine Stonie. About 11 o'clock Saturday morning someone run into the boarding house at 730 Holmes avenue and exclaimed that a child had fallen Into the excavation back of the house. Joseph Lorenchiez, the keeper of the boarding house, ran to the excavation and quickly climbed down into it. Other men ran to the place. When Lorenchiez did not return, Andrew Martelek jumped into the hole. He did not return. Joseph Rulig there upon climbed into the hole. When Rulig did not reappear there was such a commotion that the crowd did not seem to know what it was doing. Before anyone could protest, Augustine Stonie, a saloonkeeper, climbed into the excavation. In the meantime someone called engine company No. 9. When the firemen arrived there was great excite
ment. The firemen attached a rope around the body of Fireman William Stiegemeyer and lowered him into the hole. The firemen did not know what had caused the four men to remain in the hole. Stiegemeyer soon found that it was filled with gas. The first body taken out was that of Martelek. He was beyond recovery. One by one Stiegemeyer removed the bodies of the
other three men. Lorenchiez was also
dead. Rulig and Stonie were unconscious. It is believed the injured men will die. There was some water in the hole but not enough to drown. Death was undoubtedly due to asphyixation. No trace was found of the body of an infant
