Herlng Represented Hlmsolf Wealthy Man Seeking "Suckers." Chicago, Aug. 17. Absolute proof that Henry Herlng, coBhier of the wrecked Milwaukee Avonuo Stato bank, was financial backer of a bookmaking syndicate which laid odds on horse races, was brought to light late today, when Inspector Shinny found a check made payablo to Harry M. Smith, who for years ran tho Buffet at CO South State street, and whoso placo was closed this spring, because of running a hand book, that handbook bolng none othor than that run by tho Bjndlcnto headed by Horing, but whoso name never ap peared as connected with it until to day. Other men in the syndicato were Charles Francis, Thomas Rowe, Walter Frantzen, Harry Thorpe and Honry Troy. All tboto men wore interviewed by the inspector and all admitted that they were connocted with tho book, but denied that they knew Herlng was con nected with any bank, and said that he represented that ho was n wealthy man, and that ho wanted to Incroano his wealth by separntlng "a few suck era from their loose change" BUYS ST PAUL SYSTEM. Harriman Secures Railroad Coveted by dames J. Hill. Naw York, Aug. 17. It can bo au thorlUtivol. stated that control of tho Chicago, Milwaukoe A St. Paul rail road has pasted into the hands of E. II. Harriman, via tho Southorn Paclfio Railroad company, which la controlled by tho Union Paclfio Railroad com pany, the main Harriman concorn. A rumor to tho effect that Harriman sought to own tho St. Paul property baa been heard on various occasions of lato, but not until today could it bo learned from a competent nuthorlty that thero was good foundation for the report. Ai a railroad deal this purchase of tho St. Paul by Harriman is moro ro tnarkablo than tho coup by which he secured tho Illinois Central control nearly a year ago. Harriman had for years been an Important factor in tho Illinois Central managotufnt, but until now he has never been mentioned in connection with St. Paul. The present deal Is also interesting from the fact that in 1000 James J. Hill, Harrlman's arch enemy in the railroad arena, made strenuous efforts to purchase the St. Paul, but was ro fused control by tho same Standard Oil interetts which with uillingnoss tureeJ the property over o Harriman. PEOPLE GROW CALLOUS. Eye Witness Describes Warsaw After Outbreak of Terrorists. London, Aug. 17. Tho Tribune's Wareaw correspondent telegraphs n do scription of the scones witnessed by him after the disturbances Wednesday. "The hospital surgeons, fatigued by tholr labors,' he says, "wore unnblo to attend to cases, and wounds regarded as fatal were left to take their course. "The scenes in the morgues woro horrlblo. In ono I counted 32 civilian bodies, all dirty and drceeod as t hoy fell. "Tho people have grown callous with too much death. I heard a young girl laugh heartily at the eight of a woman whoso brain-pan had been torn off by a bomb. "In one hospital I saw a youth who, when Layoneted yesterday, fcignod death. The soldiers trod over him and their litMvy boots crushed his fingers to a pulp, hut he euccetBfully stood the ordeal. Ifo was carried to tho morguo, when it was discovered ho was aliro He is now progressing favoiably. "Last night resulted in an orglo of blood in the Jewish quarter. Tho num ber of persons clubbed or bnyonetod ex ceeds three hundred. "The morgues are crowded with dead. The bodies were arrayed iu rows, the clothes dirty with the flltti of the streets where they fell. No effort was made to do more than pile tbe corpses in morgues, and very little has been done towards (identifying them. Relatives and riends of those who lost their lives are fearful of brutal treatment at the hands of tno authorities if they visit the morgues." Oldest Fxed Date in History. Chicago, Aug. 17.

Russian Terrorists Wreak Vcngeanco on Hated Police. St. Petersburg, Aug. 15. Advices rccoived from Libau stato that the riot ous demonstrations that began there Saturday night Btill continue nnd that tho Hooligan element absolutely holds away in tho city, tho pollco being pow erless to check it. Law abiding citlzona are unable to travorso tho streets and a reign of robbery nnd raplno is in pro grees that will not bo checked until troops aro sent to aid the police. So far all appeals to tho government at St. Petersburg havn fallen appar ently upon deaf cars and this fact has emboldened the disturbing element to add murder to its othor crimes. Five storekeepers havo been murdered dur ing the past 12 hours and hundreds of shops have beon looted. The rlotets raided the alcohol dopol, and after filling themselves up on the Dory fluid, paradod tho Btreots, shouting threats against tho Jews and factory owners and storekeepers. Threo pollco officers havo been mur dered slnco Tuesday morning, tho Ter rorists apparently having seized upon the confusion as offering a magnificent opportunity to eliminate the hated members of tho police who havo been active in workinh against them. Thoro is one regiment of infantry In tho local barracks at Llbau, but it is mutinous and the officers some days' ago took from tho mon all tholr am munition, as it was feared that thoy in tended to mutiny.
