JM..,) ps9 REMARKABLE IS CONFESSION OF BIGAMIST KING (Continued From Page One.) but I made violent love to her and she paid me J200. I was courting seven other women at the same time and I got money from at least five of them. "Mrs. Cataline Baughman was one of them. I promised to marry her and she let me have $150, which I took. "Mrs. Maggie Bloom of Hannibal. Mo., whose name has been mentioned in the papers I know nothing about. One of the seven women whom I courted and promised to marry was Mrs, Alfce Richardson of St. Louis. She was a widow and living off her income. She gave me $400 and a diamond ring, which I have since lost. "In St. Louis I met a woman who was the head nurse at a hospital at 3144: Grant avenue. Her first name is Catherine. I don't remember what her last name is now. She gave me $200. Too Smart for Him. "In East St. Louis I met through the same advertisement Mrs. Mary Frick, a 'widow. I made love to her but she was too smart for me and I never , got a cent out of her. "I also received a letter from Mrs. Elizabeth M. Jackson of lola, Kas. I corresponded with her, and then I went to see her. "Going to Kansas City I corresponded with Mrs. Jackson all the time. I went altogether three times to lola to; see her and I got $1,400 from her. It was arranged that she was to come to Kansas City to marry me, and after I learned she was going I shipped out for Hot Springs. "I got away from Hot Springs juBt a few hours before I would have been arrested, Then I went to San Fran. On the second day I put an ad in a newspaper advertising for a wife, and I received over 200 answers. "I married Mrs. Leopold on the 13th of February and got $520 and left her that same night. "I'then went to Stockton and met Mrs. Tretheway there and married her on the 15th of May in San Jose. "I then went to Oakland and got $?00 from Mrs. Josephine Hennlngey after promising to marry her. ; "There was one woman in San Francisco whose name I cannot recall, from whom I got $120. She, Kicked Him Out. "After Mrs. Tretheway in Stockton had kicked me out of the house because she found one of Mrs. Mitchell's letters, I went to Sandiego where I met Mrs. Catherine Hoene. We went to Los Angeles where we were married on the 15th of June. I left her at Long Beach on the sixth of the present month. I came to San Joes on July 8 and bad been corresponding with Miss Minnie Gather. It appears that during this time she had made arrangements with the detectives to trep me. I want to say that I married all of the women just to have a good time. The doctors told me I didn't have long to live, and I should enjoy myself while I lived as my time was limited- I found pleasure in duping women and getting their money from them. I am not a hypnotist, but I only had to meet .a woman a few times and I knew just how to handle her, and how to talk to her. "I have found that it did not pay to be soft and sweet with a woman, treat her a little harsh and be a little distant, and she will come to you," J. LEROY HARRIS WEDS MRS.

LOCAL MERCHANTS WERE .VICTIMIZED BY SMOOTH GANG Two Swindlers Take Away . From the City About $500, After Representing Themselves as Agents. RAILWAY EMPLOYES SUFFER CONSEQUENCE Bunco Men Alleged They Were Collecting Money to Go Into Benefit Fund of the R. R. Association.

Several Richmond merchants have lately been made tiie victims of about the smoothest swindling game that has, been operated in the city for years. It is estimated that local merchants have been separated from about $500 and while they are deploring the fact, the clever swindlers have taken to the "tall and uncut" and have left no trace as to their whereabouts. It has been the custom of Richmond merchants for years to donate to the Railroad Employes Association in July of each year. Last Thursday and Friday two strangers claiming their home as Indianapolis made a canvas of the local merchants, asserting that they were authorized to collect for the association as all the railroad organizations of the country had now been consolidated under one head. They showed a long list of Indianapolis merchants bearing their rubber stamp signature, who had given to the cause. Everything appeared to be all right to the Richmond merchants who readily believed the strangers story and donated the money, following the custom of years. Fraud is Uncovered. However, yesterday, a new light was thrown on the matter when Collector Gilbert, a local engineer, made a canvas of allthe merchants in the city asking money for the same cause. Gilbert was told of the two collectors who had called last week and at once pronounced them swindlers. He stated that the railroad organizations were not consolidated under one had. that it would be impossible for such a tning to occur. He further stated that no one had been authorized to collect the money but himself and that the Richmond merchants had been up against 'a "bunco' game." The police have been notified and a diligent search is being instigated. ine police or the surrounding towns and cities have been asked to keen a sharp lookout for the strangers. A gooa aescnption is rurnlsned of the men. One is described as being an exceedingly big man while the other was rather short and heavy set, having black hair. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

Reports from Teheran say one thousand Persian nationalists entered the city early this morning, which precipitated a battle through the streets. Russian cossacks are occupying the central square and surrounding streets. The Shah is momentarily expected to seek refuge in a foreign legation.

K holy war against the Moslems is unprecedented, but to legalise it the Shah and bis supporters have been declared non-Moslems. .

Young Woman Drops Something; Crowd Flocks; Is Disappointed

Chicago, July 13. A simple circlet of red 6ilk ribbon, a garter, caused many things to happen at Lincoln park yesterday. Duchess, the park elephant, almost swallowed her trunk, two park policemen remembered they were married men in time to prevent any domestto difficulty, half a hundred visitors at the park strained their eyes and a demure looking miss blushed several times. The demure looking miss was parading down the broad walk In front of the zoo. She wore a pale blue drees, a blue picture hat of the latest basket shape, blue slippers and the red garter. The failure of the young woman to have her entire toilette in color harmony was not noticed when she flrt entered the park. But as she sauntered by the monkey cage a sharp eyed policeman noticed something. It wasn't much, but it was red and silk. The policeman was startled. TAFT HAS BEGUN HIS ARGUMENT Oil THE TARIFF BILL (Continued From Page One.) mum rates if convinced that any nation "unduly" discriminates against the United States. This word was taken from the interstate commerce law, which empowers the interstate commerce commission to proceed In any cases of "undue" discrimination. In view of the . wide Jurisdiction which th word "unduly" confers the president is confident of his ability to enforce the tariff law so that no inequitis will be created and the tariff trouble with foreign states can be averted. Of course, if ft should be established that discriminations of a ser. ious character are being practiced, then the minimum rates will be withdrawn from the imports of the offending country and th maximum rates will be enforced. Urjj- Tax on Corporations. The president reiterated to those who saw him that he will contince to support the corporation tax and has no objection to the reduction of the rat to 1 per cent, especially as the increased tobacco taxes will brie gin an additional revenue of 19.000,000. Besides his own advocacy of this proposition he has another reason, and that is that he does not feel that he would be justified in abandoning th men who far ored the income tax but who, upon hl recommendation, finally decided to vote against that amendment aad aided in the passage of the corporation tax. . In respect to the inheritance tax. h originally recommended it, but after his recommendation a number of state legislature passed resolution pbjecv ing to it. Thereupon he took up the

He does not ace bow he can go back upon the men who switched from the income to the corporation tax at his instance, and the attitude of the numerous states with reference to the inheritance tax stop him from agreeing to its substitution, for the corporation tax.
