BOARD WILL MAKE

ITS DECISION Oil PARKCHAUTAUQUA Monday Is the Date Set by Mayor for the Board to Rule Whether Affair Can Be Held in Glen. . LATE DECISION HAS DELAYED THE PLANS City Officials Have Been Unfriendly to the Project Hawkins Park Project Is Still in the Air. Whether Richnjond is to enjoy a Chautauqua usscrably In the summer is a question which will largely de pend on the decision of the board Of, public works which, it is expected, will be announced by Mayor Zimmer man on Monday. Glen Miller park Is sought by the Chautauqua associa tlon as the place to hold the assem bly. Mayor Zimmerman has indicated on several occasions that his attitude will be unfavorable to holding the affair in the park. However, he has stated he was open to 'conviction and withheld his decision several months in order that he might consider " the matter from all angles. Mayor's Statement. In the late summer the mayor declared he knew enough about the Chautauqua to fill a newspaper. Then the probability of securing the park In August, 1911, was most gloomy to Chautauqua officials. They asked for an Immediate answer, but the mayor announced the final word would be pronounced on January 9. Although at somewhat of an inconvenience in not knowing whether the park could be ' secured the Chautauqua people went ' ahead In their preliminary ar rangements for the 1911 assembly and sent representatives to the Chautauqua alliance meeting in December to select talent. - " No contracts were definitely made and.lfjhepark is not secured all ne gotiations for talent will b declared off." It Is claimed there is no other place in or near the city which would be suitable for holding the Chautau qua. Tne Hawkins park proposition is not yet closed and as it will be sev eral weeks yet before its success, is known, it is impossible to plan to hold the event there. The decision of the board of works on the matter would-not be entirely final. Council could get in a last word by appointing a park , commis sion, and If the park commission be lieved the -park was the proper place to hold the assembly it could grant the power. However, it is not thought wise by any members of the associa board In thlB manner. PEARY TELLS STORY Relates to a Congressman Pole Discovery. (American News Service) Washington, Jan. 7.

BRAZIL iOUIETLY EXECUTES REBELS M 4 .V Men Who Took Part in the Recent Naval Revolts Pay for Their Folly. Buenos Ayres, Argentine, Jan. 7. More than 100 Brazilians who took part in the two recent naval mutinies, have been secretly put to death, according! to leaders of the colony of Brazilians who fled here after the inauguration of President Fonseca. These Brazilians declared today that t!iey had received private advices from friends in Rio Janeiro that the Brazilian government has entered upon a drastic policy of extermination. The mutineers, who were confined In the prison fortresses upon the , islands of Cobras and Villegainon. and who were supposed to have died suddenly from sunstroke and gangrene, were In reality, executed by being shot to death without the formality of trial. Are Highly Indignant. Friends here of Jean Candido, the leader of the first naval mutiny, who is said by the government to have died of gangrene were highly indig nant today, because Candido had sur rendered the Brazilian dreadnoughts upon the promise that he and his followers would not be arrested. The Brazilians declared that the executions would react upon the government with serious consequences. Fear of the spreading revolt in Bra zil, which momentarily threatens to grow into a concerted movement to overthrow the government, has led President Fonseca and his ministry to take the harshest measures. Even courtmartial trials have been abolish ed in the cases of mutineers. The Brazilians who fled to Argentine are holding themselves in readi ness to return, should the anti-gov ernment forces put an army in the field. Their leaders claimed today, to have private advices from revolution ary headquarters in Brazil that the country is almost wholly in a state of anarchy and that unless the mailed fist metnods ot government prevail,, a concerted revolt is only a matter of time. , Nictheory. the capital of the state of Rio Janeiro, and the city of Para, are both under martial law and lo rn enters in the state of Amazonas are said to have a well equipped army ready to take the field.

GREAT SCANDAL '

WILL GET AIRI1IG ! ill COURT M0I1DAY MrsSchenk; Wife of "Mil lionaire, of Wheeling, WJ Va., Is Facing a Very Serious Charge. . " . " ; ATTEMPTED MURDER ' ; BY POISON ALLEGED Case Has Caused, a Sensa tion that Has Shaken the Exclusive Social;. Set of -Wheeling. . . (American News Service) Wheeling. W. Va., Jan. 7. The trial Monday of Mrs. Laura Farns worth Schenk, charged . with poisoning her husband. John O. Schenk. the mil lionaire pork packer, will reopen scandal that has shaken the exclusive society of that section of the country to its foundations. 'Mrs. Schenk's bizarre conduct , preceding her arrest, her assertions to her hus band's detecUve nurse, Miaa Kline, while the millionaire was lying at the point of death that "she would be the happiest woman alive when he 'was in his grave,"; coupled with her prodi gality in lavishing money on men of her acquaintance, have according to friends, : strengthened the determination of her attorneys ' to offer a plea of insanity in defense of her alleged efforts to do away with Mr. Scheak. It is stated that every effort will be made to show ; that Mrs. Schenk was mentally unbalanced both at the time : of her husband's illness and for many years before ; that event and whileit is admitted that such a course on the part of the defense will necessitate a review of an exceedingly lurid past, U Is thought that this course is the ohly feasible : avenue of . escape . for their " client, whose examination before the ' grand jury brought out such startling Incriminating testimony. . - ' ' A Family Skeleton. Tbe arrest of Mrs. Schenk brought to light a gruesome family skelejtfta long hidden from the, VZ'JZS Pt3e gaze by one of West Virginia's oldest and wealthiest families. .Laura Farns worth Schenk,.; before - her marriage was a . domestic ' la the household of John O. Schenk's father, had been taken Into the family after ber moth er had taken refuge in the poor house, leaving her daughter to fight her way In the world with only her good looks for capital. Her father had deserted the family while the girl was in her infancy. Schenk's infatuation for the girl began twenty years . ago, and though his family exerted every effort to wean the young man from his love he continued his attentions.. The affair culminated in Schenk's mar riage to the girl after a threatened breach of promise suit. rSchenk's infatuation, for the girl, however, appears to 'have ' been as strong as ever at the time of his marriage and that it suffered no diminution In all that 'followed ', is .amply borne Out "by his subsequent conduct toward - her. He elevated her from her menial position .to the head of his ' household, lavished jewels upon her, and attempted to introduce her among his family's circle of acquaint- ' ances. His attempt to gain, admittance for bis: wife into the exclusive Bocial circles of Pittsburg and Wheeling proved unavailing and Mrs, Schenk was' obliged to content herself with entertainments to the socially un-elect. : Last January Mr. Schenk became mysteriously- ill, and -decided upon a European trip alone. Shortly after his departure his wife left her home and made-her appearance at Atlantic City where she attracted much attention by ber pretentious establishment and the la viahness which marked her entertainment to a bevy of male admirer?. Rumors of her escapades came to tbe ears of her husband's relatives and resulted in the hasty re turn of , Mr; Schenk from Europe, v He Was Taken III. Shortly after his return he wa again taken mysteriously ill and was confined to his bed in the Schenk mansion, his, wife and a nurse, Miss Evans attending him. Mr. Schenk, who bad. been in robust health up to' the time of his January Illness, ' now developed a malady that baffled the attendant physicians.
