"JACK" LOGAN REDIVIVUS.

A Beautiful Row Is Raised in the Coming Horse Show. Chicago, Oct. 14.—There is likely to be trouble at the coming horse anow la this city and the fur Is already commencing to fly.

John A. Logan, Jr., is managing the show which is to be held in the Coliseum building, situated at Sixty-third street and Stony Island avenue, which is right in the oenter of the prohibition district of the suburb of Hyde Park. Mr. Logan has worked hard for the success of the show and among other things he has organised the Bit and Spur club, the members of which Include a number of millionaires, and some of the leading business men in the city. The members of the club are to pay about four prloes for their saason tickets to the show, and they are also to have a pleasant little loom for themselves, where "refreshments" are to be 6erved. The word "refreshments" is to the Hyde Park prohibitionist like unto a red rag before an excitable bull, and they declared that no "refreshments" shall be served. It was Intimated on behalf of the club that only soft drinks wou'd bo served, but this aroused d«ri?kn among the Hyde Park people, who have been fooled once or twice before today, asd just now are not trusting anybody. The leader in the opposition to "refreshments" is George W. Riggs, a leading insurance fan. Mr. Logan singled out Mr. Riggs as an opponent this afternoon, and announced that in his opinion Mr. Riggs was seeking cheap notoriety. He further said the Bit and Spur club can take care of itself, and that it "will proceed along the original line?."

The reply of Mr. Riggs came hot o?f the bat. He declared himself as follows: "I may be seeking cheap notiriety, but I never went abroad wearing a borrowed uniform nor a dead father's medals. Now since Mr. Logan has made a personal matter of this thing we will give him a fight to a flnisn. Every man In the club will be arrested if an attempt is mado to violate

laws. A letter will be sent to every member, *s far as known, asking him to withdraw from the club, and not countenance an assault upon the law. This can be construed as a fair warning.'*

Both sides appear determined, but the odds

re with Mr. Riggs, as the chief of police has him in the right.

DIPHTHERIA RAGING

EIGHT PEOPLE AFFUCTfcD WITH THE DISEASE IK SAND BUftB HOLLOW.

TbeftTi to Be No {Jaaraofefne of the Die trice—'The Gazette Falls On Its Face Again. 3

?-V HE in

There Is an epidemic of diphtheria in Sand Burr Hollow.^ Eight cases have come to light and there is no telling how many others may develop within the next rew days. As yet cone of the cases has broken out in violent form. Wednesday, when the death of the Hartzell child was made public physicians who knew of the case were afraid there might be an epidemic as the children of the entire neighborhood had been expostd to it by visiting the Hartzeil house \vhere the child died Tuesday morning. 4

Physicians, Interred In the health of the City, made an investigation yesterday and found there were seven and probably eight cases there. The beard of fcealth has been apprised oi the fact and while no Quarantine will ba institeuted at present the district will be giVeu the most carefui surveillance and every effort will be put forth to prevent tne spread of the disease. As yet the cases discovered are in a mild form, and as the physicians have taken disease in band before there has been anyieadway gained it is likely it can be stamped out without any trouble.

Wednesday evening ifhfe Gazette, which has missed no opportunity!, to attack Coroner Payne and Deputy Siunkard, threw down the bars and made a yidous, uncalled for and slanderous attack bit Dr.' Wyeth, one of Terre Houte's rising young physicians. It said things is could not prove In a trial. It said that Dr. Wyeth had attended the Hartzell child prior to its death ahd wondered, In the Ga zette's own peculiar w&y, why the coroner was called in. The Gazette, piqued because it was ignominiously "scooped" in the case, Wondered in its own peculiar way—and it miMt be admitted when it comes to coroner cases the Gazette has a very peculiar waywhy Dr. Wyeth aid not issue* a death certificate.

Yesterday morning, however, the Express printed an affidavit from Mr. Hartzell, father of the child, in which it, was stated Dr. Wyeth never even saw the child prior to its death, and was only called on to make art examination when requested to do so by the township trustee, to whom Hartzell had applied for assistance. Then the Gazette fell on its face, the same battered old face it has bruised so many times as a result of its amateurish work. It assailed Dr. Payne without cause The coroner was the only man under the law who could have issued the death certificate. It assailed Dr Wyeth, an Innocent practitioner, a man who never knew of the case until the child was dead.

The last thing the Gazette did was to avoid a damage suit by slobbering over a few things fjt .had said and then tucking its tail and running. It printed a few things Dr. Wyeth said, and also what Mr. Hartzell said. Both told the same story. The' paper which failed to get the news told that Dr. Wyeth declared he never saw tht child prior to its death and to prove it had been wickedly untrue in its former statements relative to the physician and the coroner it told that Mr. Hartzell corroborated everything Dr. Wy^th said. For some reason the Gazette felled to interview Coroner Payne to aseortain what he had to say. A reporter for the paper, so it is alleged, went to take a look at the Hartzell hovel, but he was likely afraid of, the diphtheria, and the best he did was to say a few words about the hc:»se being on the level with a barn and Mrs. Hartzell having sunken cheeks and yellow complexion. This information dished out to an Intelligent public might have been obtained over the telephone.

SULLIVAN'S NEW PARK.

Grounds About Her Artesian Well Will Be Beautified at Once. Special to the Express.

Sullivan, Ind., Oct. 12.—W. S. Klrkham has leased 135 acres of land surrounding what is known as the "Mackey Well" and has set a force of men at work clearing up the underbrush preparatory to constructing a fine park and summer resort. Seats and tablea will be placed all over the grounds and bath houses erected for the use of the water from the well, which has been found to contain wonderful medicinal properties. The entire grounds will be lighted by electric lights and *the creak well arranged so as to form a iarge artificial lake for boating in summer and skating in the winter.

The mineral well was drilled over four years ago, when Mr. Mackey was president of the E. & T. H., and it is thought that the well was drilled for the purpose of making a park at this place, as it is situated near the E. & T. H. Railroad. But shortly after this water was found Mr. Mackey was no longer the head of the road and it is supposed the matter was dropped. The well has never ceased flowing since it was drilled, which has been over four years. People from all parts of the state come to the well and remain for weeks to use the water. Many people from this place visit the well, and it is now quite a resort.

LUETGERT NOT FEAZED

HE LISTENS CALMLY WHILE M'EWEN TIE8 TOGETHER THE EVIDENCE.

His face Exhibits the Same Look of Soorn That Has Possessed It Through" out the Trial. i,

M'EWAN MAKES POWERFUL ADDfijgS

HE LAI'S GREAT STRESS ON THE GOLD RINGS.

Luetgert Only Scowls When the Bitter Arraignment of Mary Stammering Is Made.

Chicago, Oct. 12.—Assistant State's. Attor­

ney McEwen finished his argument in the

Luetgert trial today and will be followed by

Attorney Phalen, who will make the open­

ing address for the defense.

Mr. McEwen took up the entire day with

his argument and went over the case care­

fully, connecting the details of the evidence

for the jury and showing how one circum­

stance fitted into another and how the whole mass of evidence submitted furnished a full and complete circumstantial chain, proving that he murdered his wife in order that his relations with his servant girl might remain undisturbed.

Luetgert listened to the speech of the attorney who was asking for his life with the greatest attention. He never took his eyes of Mr. McEwen for more than an instant and the heavy scowl that is habitual with him deepened as .the attorney pointed out circumstance after circumstance that weighted against his innocence. It is now practically certain that all of the arguments will be finished so that the case will be given to the jury by Saturday night at the latest.

People who enjoy legal oratory crowded the Criminal Court building today and pressed their way toward Judge Tuthill's court room. Less than half the crowd was admitted. Assistant State's Attorney McEwen resumed his argument, and it was announced that he would speak all day barring the usual intermission at midday, Mr. McEwen took up the subject of sesamoids. This soon brought him to a consideration of the evidence of Dr. W. Allport, chief osteological expert for the defense. Rarely is a witness handled with the biting sarcasm that was1' heaped upon this celebrated expert. "He came upon the witness stand with all the arrogance and self assurance 6f bully," shouted the speaker, "and left it as meek and lowly as any being who ever entered this building. He exposed to the medical profession in open court his ignorance and made himself the laughing stock of experts the world over." The mistakes Dr. Allport is alleged to have made an identifying different bones were enumerated, discussed and ridiculed in the most cutting manner at the speaker's command. "And this is the man whom the defense asks you to believe with reference io the identiflca tion of bones placed before you in evi lence in this case," observed Mr. McEwen. Mary Siemmering was the subject of the assist ant state's attorney's remarks during theafternoon. He dwelt at length upan her alleged relations with Luetgert, and charged that she was the primary cause of the horrible murder of Mrs. Luetgert. The woman's testimony on the witness stand was torn to shreds and she was denounced in unmeas ured terms.

During the afternoon session Assistant State's Attorney McEwen devoted a considerable portion of his time to the gold rings found in the middle vat in Luetgert's factory. These he styled "The indestructable and shining evidence of guilt." "The purest metal known to man," he said, "had come forth from that vat untarnished to fasten upon the guilty person the responsibility for one of the most hideous and crucl crimes modern times had produced."

Then the speaker shifted to the evidence of the bone experts and dissected it skilfully, pointing out what he considered the weaknesses and Inconsistencies in the stories and identification made by each. Then he reviewed the circumstances in the case from the date of Mrs. Luetgert'i disappearance up to the present date. Each development Was recalled and fitted together in logical manner. The speaker suddenly reached the descriptive climax by exclaiming: "There, gentlemen of the jury, you have the complete foundation and structure of this case. The chain of facts is connected. The links naturally coil around this defendant and fix his guilt as plainly and as indisputably as it is possible to fix guilt."

Hour after hour Mr. Ewen continued to discuea the evidence in the case and to comment upon the conduct of Luetgert and Mary Siemmering both before and after the disappearance of Mrs. Luetgert.

Luetgert sat and listened with close attention. He kept his eyes fastened upon Mr. McEwen during the five hours the latter spoke today. The heavy features of the sausage maker never changed. He sat with the deep habitual scowl, which is a marked facial characteristic of his, and listened to the attorney who appealed to the jury to find him guilty.

Ex-Judge Vincent was a close listener, as was Attorney Phalen, who occasionally notes on the speech.

Tomorrow Attorney Phalen will open for the defense. He will speak all day and possibly part of Thursday. Then ex-Judge Vincent will speak a day and a half in closing for the defense. State's Attorney Deenen, who is a remarkably rapid speaker, will close 'the case on Saturday, speaking the entire day.

TW0M0THERS-IN-LAW

ALLEGED TO CAUSE ALL THE TROUBLE FOR THEIR DARLINGS.

Each Wants to Rnn the Yonng People—It Was Only Garfield Tea—All In a Divorce Case.

Grouped about a table in the court room yesterday were the two principals in a divorce suit, their attorneys and their mothers-in-law.

The man and wife were really only children, 'and the mother of each looked a3 though she bad an inclination to watch over her child and could use a sharp tongue. The court (evidently knew this fact concerning one from the conversation while she was on the stand.

The course of true love did not run any smoother in the case of Frank Erxleben than it does with other mortals. He loved and he wed, supposing that he would Hve happily afterward. This was also the view of the future which the object of his affections, Myrtle Foute, took. But in both

not consider the fact that he was a poor man, but Wished him to keep her daughter in the finest of style, while he could not, being a man. firxleben is, or rather has been, a barber, and had a shop on East Main street until he married. He claimed that it cost him so much to live in double blessedfteW that he was running in debt.

Of course Myrtle stood up for her mother. She stated that Frank had never bought her anything at all, and that her mother kept ^r,,in clothing. But her chief complaint was leveled against her mother-in-law. The mter, the young wife claimed, had abused her Continually, telling her that her eon *as good for her, and that she didn't really se» why he had taken it Into his head to marry her. On one occasion the fair Myrtle BSIS( Mrs. Erxleben senior had called her a name, and that.after that Frank had not allowed her to be about his house. '^"VWlen the elder Mrs. Erxleben was placed upon the stand the case began to be interesting. She is a German, and was educated iil the old country for the profession of a midwife. She speaks and understands the English language but Imperfectly. Evidently Mrs. Erxleben had a mind of her own. She took exception a number of times to questions which the court asked, until Judge Henry became a little exasperated. Then she ignored others and interlarded her remarks with explanations and rambling dissertations. Finally the court interrupted her sharply and told her she must observe the Tules of the court more strictly. But she persevered until Judge Henry told her he would be compelled to send her to jail Then she quailed.

The other moth'T-in-law was put in the question mill. She said that she had done everything for the two she could, but that Frank didn't treat her Myrtle right, and she. wanted her to come back home. This was in opposition to the wish of Mrs. Erxleben, who claimed she did not believe in divorce.

Then Frank was asked the reason for the breakers which had wrecked their happy bark. "Judge, it's my mother-in-law. She won't leave us alone. And (in a low tone) to -ell the truth my mother had her finger In the pie, too." "Well, look here, Frank," said the court, "suppose the mothers-in-law abolished, cut out of the matter entirely. We will send one to the Klondike and the other to Jericho. Now, with them off your minds, don't you think you can get along?"

Frank was inclined to believe so, but Myrtle would rather be excused. "This i3 a serious aifair," continued the judge,

s'and

you must think it over carefully

before you make up your minds. You are both young and then there is the little child. Your separation may mean much more than you think. I will take this matter under advisement for a short time and I want you to drop the mother-in-law part of the fuss and see if you can't make it all up."

The tale of the "Two Mothers-in-law" will be continued at some future time.

IN HAUNTS JUDICIAL

HIGQIXBOTHAM TELLS BIS SI OK Of THE ATTEMPT TO ASSAULT CASK,

Bis tiuklnc Letter to Mln Etta Mas Baatt Ia Court—CM* is Coatloued Until Nut Tuesday.

-v..-.,

The usual crowd of listeners waited for the Higginbotham case to be called yesterday morning. There was a llttlo more Interest in the case than usual, since it was heard the defendant would be put on the stand to testify in his own behalf* The audience had already heard the other side of the case and wanted to see how much the two would vary.

The young farmer furnished a great deal of amusement for those assembled in the court room, and did not dangerously incriminate hiiLself, except that he led ali to believe that be was a very affectionate young man. But he did not admit that he had stopped the buggy, as Etta Mae Paddock had declared. He swore the two had not stopped once all the time of the dr.'ve, but they had driven all the way home with out stopping at all. He furthermore stated that he had entered the Louse with the girl and had remained about an hour and a half. When he left she refused to give back to him bis handkerchief, which slightly incensed him.

Then came the whole show. It was rumored some time before that the state would produce a letter, written by Higginbotham to the girl, in which he would beg her pardon for having so rudely used' her. The letter was produced, but thereiwas little in it except food for laughter. It did not tend to hurt the cause of the defense much. There was not a word said in it referring to the alleged attempt at violtncte. With the style characteristic of1 a IQ-jredr-old school boy, who had just discovered a "girl," he rambles on ia a whirlwind of "if you love me as I love you's" and interlards the soft breathing of passionate adoration with a verse or two of the most infantile doggerel. He endeavors to express his sorrow for having "got mad,M and makes 'stecn apologies. The fellow is 24 years old and gave vent to this impassioned burst of feeling in the language of the gods "Apples are sweet, peaches are better, "If you love me, answer my letter."

After a few more scalding regrets and heart throbs the rustic Shakespeare turns loose on the paper the following closing and pathetic couplet: "I scratched my head. I blowed my nose, "And I think it's time for me to close."

When the court and the audience had fully recovered the questioning continued. It was elicited that the two had become very affectionate in their drive. The nag had been allowed do his own guiding the most of the time and in the intervals between the rhapsodies of the lovers the girl did the driving and the fellow did the hugging.

Washington, Oct. 12:—Secretary Sherman has written a reply to the note of Lord Sal« lsbury expressing Great Britain's declination to take part in a Bering sea conference in which Russia and Japan are to participate.

The answer states that the United States government views with astonishment tha determination of Greats Britain not to participate in a conference including Russia and Japan, end the statement is made that up to the 23d of last month the United States authorities had fully expected that the conference would proceed with Russia and Japan, as well as Great Britain present. It is pointed out that aside from the written correspondence to which Lord Salisbury had called attention there were verbal negotiations between Ambassador Hay and hiri lordship in which specific reference was made to the participation of Russia and Japan. At one of these verbal exchanges ii is stated Lord Salisbury said he would advise with the olflcialu of the foreign office concerning the subjects discussed, which incl'ided the participation of Russia and Japan. Subsequently, on July 29th, Ambassador Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury saying the president hoped to have Russia and Japan participate.
