THE MOENiyG- OREftQKlAy, EDKESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1902. YOUNQER'S ROMANCE Brother of His Betrothed Tells Its Beginning. SHE WORKED FOR HIS -PARDON While "Working: on & St. Paul Paper 3IIsh Mueller Made IIIh -Actjiiaiiit-ancc He Always Refused to Talk of His Crimes. "Th press dispatches do not give a true account of the first meeting and the at tachment of my sister and Jim Younger," Bald Marcus A. Mueller, a brother of the young lady -whose marriage to the fa mous outlaw was prevented by the laws of the State of Minnesota. Mr. Mueller is passing a few days in the city while making arrangements for a tour of the Southwest, and when ho made these re marks he was glacing over the columns of a newspaper containing an account of Tounger's tragic death. "There is nothing romantic about their meeting," he continued. "They became acquainted In the most ordinary way, and my sister "became greatly attached to him, as any body who ever knew Jim Younger would." Mr. Mueller Is Miss Alixia G. Mueller's youngest brother, and he was for six months the room-mate of Younger. He is a photographer by occupation and a traveler for pleasure. He has been in the Northwest, for the past few weeks, and he had Intended to make a trip to Mexico, but on learning of Younger's death lie decided to make a short trip to the South western States and then to go to Kansas ICIty, where the burial will probably take (place. "I must attend the funeral," he said, "for Jim and I were great friends. We became brothers on our first meeting, when he was serving his life sentence, -and It will always be a pleasure to me to know that I helped my sister to secure ihls release on parole. I also tried to se cure his pardon, but my efforts were in effectual. I circulated eight petitions In Minneapolis, and they were signed by the principal officers of the city and most of Sithe wholesale merchants and many other prominent citizens. The bankers only refused to sign. Public sentiment was in his favor, and even Governor Van Sant. said: "If the rest thought the way I do. there Is no reason why a pardon should not be granted.' But there were obstacles In the way, and the pardon was not granted. "But as to the first meeting of my sis ter and Younger, I shall have to offer a few amendments to the press accounts. My sister was never a guest of the prison -warden, and she did not send any deli cacies to Younger during her girlhood days. She made his acquaintance when she was visiting the prison in company with my uncle and a friend. She was then the society editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, about five years ago.' She heard his story and took a great deal of interest in him, and as she believed that he had been wronged, she started the movement which resulted In his release. They were to have been married, but his legal death was a barrier, and an effort to secure a full pardon for him failed. Last Spring my sister's health failed and she had to go to Idaho for relief. Jim seemed to have lost his spirits after her departure,- eo I have been told, and I sup pose that that and the loss of employment brought on despondency, and during a fit of the blues he took his life. "Jim was riot the bandit that people think he Was. I do not know what edu cation, if any, he had before he became an outlaw, but I am certain that his days in prison were employed to the best ad vantage. During a part of his term he was a sort of deputy librarian, and he lost no opportunity to improve his mind. He read incessantly, and he was such a eplendld conversationalist on all matters of current Interest that a person would think he had been brought up in the classic shades. "Of Jim's early life I know nothing fur ther than what he told me during a brtef conversation. Like his brother Cole, he would never speak of his days of out lawry, and any person who asked him about them .always met with a stern re buff. On this particular occasion Jim told me that he had been driven to guerrilla warfare. Cole had Joined the band, and their father had been shot. There was supposed to be some money secreted about the house, and the murderers of the father took Jim, who was believed to know the hiding-place, out into the woods and -strung him up In order to get him to reveal the spot. Jim was then only 14 years old, but he was, I inferred from the way he talked, a pretty stubborn youngster, and when the murderers got tired of .him he contrived to draw himself tip into the tree and to cut the noose. The South was then unsettled, and he thought his place of safety was In the home of the guerrillas. So he Joined them, and, while he admitted having commit ted many crimes, he declared that he was not guilty of half of those charged to him. If a train were robbed or a man killed in his section it was laid to the Youngersi while, as he told me, he and his brothers would in fact be many miles fr&m the scene of the crime. Just before the famous Northfield raid he was In some city on the Pacific Coast, but he was wanted at some place In Missouri for a robbery committed while he was away out West. He Joined the gang only a few days before the raid, which resulted In the killing of the bank cashier and the sentence of himself and his brothers to life imprisonment. ;JIm was curious in many ways. He had no use for religion or any of its ex ponents. He read three dally papers each day, and from them he got all the relig ion he wanted. He would not accept any money from people who wished to help him, and I know of a number of checks from good, substantial citizens which were returned to the givers. His brother Cole always accepted such contributions. Jim was different. He wanted 'tb work his own way upward, and he took any employment offered him. Once he was offered a flat salary of ?5000 a year as manager of Olsen's big department store in Minneapolis, and he hesitated about taking It. He knew he was not quali fied for the position, and that all he would have to do would be to act as a living advertisement. He did not wish to make a public exhibition of himself, but friends pressed him to accept, and he finally did so. But then he learned that he .could not take the place, for he was legally dead and he could not enter into any sort of a contract. "Of the alleged unfriendliness between Jim and Cole I would not care to venture a statement. In the prison they were al lowed SO minutes' conversation each month, and after they had been released thc-y seemed to part. They apparently did not care to associate with each -other, but that is not strange when one comes to consider the wonderfully different habits and Ideas which one would hardly ex pect to discover In two brothers. Jim was serious, and a student of current events, and original In all his Ideas. Cole is a good-fellow-well-met. and In everything the opposite of his brother. One, in con versing with them, would never suspect that they were brothers, and the friend of one would never be greatly attached to the other. The serious man would pick Jim for a friend; the jovial. Cole. "I do not know what complaint Jim could have had against Warden Wolfer. The warden, was certainly strict, and un der the parole system he taay have called Jim to time In the matter of reporting changes of residence and so forth. It is jJso likely that Jim thought the warden stood in the way of a full pardon. The recommendation eif tho mnim o custodian of the prisoners, carries weight inc uoartt or control, and Jim may have thought that the wardca did not make the recommendation he wished and which he deserved." SAMOAN CASE DECIDED. King Oscar, as Arbitrator, Rules Asnlnnt the United States. NEW YORK, Oct. 22. King Oscar, of Sweden and Norway, has decided the Sa moan controversy in favor of Germany, says a dispatch to the Tribune from Washington, D. C. . - This fact became known on the return of Mr. Grip, the Minister of Sweden and Norway, from a long visit to his home. Mr. Grip called at the State Department, but did not, of course, disclose the de cision of his sovereign, which must be formally presented simultaneously to the three powers concerned. The announce ment will be astonishing to the Govern ments of the United States and Great Britain, which were confident that they would establish fully the legality and pro priety of the Joint landing of marines at ApIa In 1S99 to sustain the decree of the Sam o an Supreme Court and end the revo lution. The full scope of the arbitral de cree of King Oscar is not yet divulged, and the extent to which It covers the claims for damage filed by the citizens of three countries and of France may not be known for several days. These claims, which were nominally the prime cause for arbitration, are Insignificant, however, compared with the question of National honor, on which they depended, and If the action of the United States and Great Britain had been sustained by the royal arbiter, would have fallen to the ground. The Samoan dispute grew out of the concerted action of Rear-Admiral Kautz, of the United States Navy, and Captain Sturdy, of the British Navy, In leading a combined American and British force at Apia on April 1, 1S99, for the purpose of making a reconnolssance and breaking up Mataafa's supporters, who were In re bellion against the recognized government. It was on this occasion that Philip Lands dale, the executive officer of the Phila delphia; Ensign J. R. Monaghan and two enlisted Americans; Lieutenant Freeman and two British sailors were killed. Sur geon Lung, now one of President Roose velt's physicians, was the medical officer of the landing party. The United States ship Badger was promptly sent to the scene, carrying an international commis sion, composed of Bartlett Tripp, repre senting the United States, and Von Stern berg, the German commissioner, and C. N. Elliott, the British commissioner. Claims amounting to' nearly $30,000 were filed by German, French, British and American residents, on account of dam ages caused by the landing party. As the chief Tesult of the investigations of the commission, the tripartite agreement of 1S89 was abrogated, the Islands being di vided between the United State's and Ger many, while Great Britain withdrew. A convention was signed at Washington on November 7,- 1899, submitting the claims of Samoan residents to the King of Swe den and Norway for arbitration, the main questions being whether the military ac tion of the United States and Great Britain had been warranted. Immediately upon this the aggregate of the German and American claims rose to about $30,000. In July, 1900, the King consented to act as arbitrator and last Spring the briefs containing the arguments on the main point at Issue and the schedule of claims were submitted to him. Correspondence between the representatives of three pow ra in Apia at the time, as spread on the Tecords, was extremely bitter and full of reflections on the Integrity ana honor of the nations concerned and there were frank declarations that If the naval forces of the United States and Great Britain had not been supreme in -the absence of German warships a clash must have oc curred .which would have brought the United States and Germany to the verge of war. ' The claims which are Incidental to the larger question, were filed by citizens of the United States, Germany, Great Bri tain. France, Austria. Denmark,- Sweden and Norway. Portugal and Switzerland and natives of Samoa. Citizens of the United States ask for $77,603 to reimburse them for their losses in the bombardment; subjects of Ger many want $103,91S; subjects of Great Britain $6283, and citizens of France $26,321. THE STOVEPIPE HAT. A Survival In . A'evr York Streets or Today. Brooklyn Eagle. One morning last week a man walked on one of the crowded ferry-boats cross ing to Manhattan, wearing a silk hat. and Immediately became a conspicuous object, regarded by everybody. There was noth ing in the liat to attract such general at tention. It was of modern, modish shape, well kept and brushed. Nor was there anything In the man's drefi3 otherwise out of the common. It was simply because he was the only one on this crowded boat wearing a silk hat and because a silk hat has become an uncommon variety of head gear, especially In the morning. It goes without saying" that the man was elderly. A young man with a silk hat before 4 o'clock in the afternoon Is an eccentric The round derby hat wrought a revolu tion In the matter of headgear. The pre vailing hat a quarter of a century ago or was it more years ago? was the silk hat Everybody wore one on all occasions and at all times. The volunteer Are depart ment was in existence at that time, and a peculiar type, straight up and down and straight across, was almost the Insignia of the volunteer fireman., as much as the soap lock that curled up under the brim on both temples. Frank Chanfrau Immor talized and preserved the type for all time In Mose in "A Glance at New York." To the day of his death only a few years ago "Al" Dorian, the oysterman of Fulton Market, and an old fire laddie, well-known resident of Brooklyn, wore that, type of hat But It was not the volunteer fire man alone who wore a silk hat. The man who f drove the Broadway omnibus, who took your fares In the street cars, who cut your steak in the butcher's shop, who drove the truck along the street all wore a silk hat which In those days was .af fectionately termed "a stovepipe," 'a chimney pot," "a tile," or "a cady" why a cady? Was It because some hatter of the name of Cady won renown for his hats and made them the type of elegance to the de gree of giving his name to the articles as the tailoring firm of Benjamin, of Lon don, did to overcoats? It is more likely, however, that It came from "Cadi," a Judge of the Orient, who wore on the tri bunal as Insignia of his office covering ,pf similar shape. The town was fond of Ori ental plays in those days, and in them a Cadi was an inevitable character. How ever, the stovepipe Is so Infrequent now that Its appearance before 4 o'clock In the afternoon over a coat that is not a frock makes the wearer as conspicuous as If he were clothed In scarlet It was the little round derby that dethroned It ' Yet even to this day It glve3 an air of distinction to the wearer and, as a, matter of fact the crowd Instinctively gives its respect to the man who sports one. Antitariff Sentiment Growing. Atlanta Journal. In both East and West the cause of tariff revision Is looming to proportions that have alarmed the trust. The South stands where she has stood for many years, practically solid for a tariff only for revenue, and the outlook for a big breik In tho lines of the protectionists in the other sections of the- country at the Congressional elections Is very bright. "Would Merely Confirm Suspicion. Washington Star. Publicity may be of some assistance In correcting the trust evils.

Botl(.Teams Confident of Victory and Prepared , for Best Intercollegi ate Contest of,. Year. EASTERN FOOTBALL TODAY. Princeton-Dickinson, at Princeton. Pennsylvania-Annapolis, at Annapolis. Brown-Bates, at Providence, Williams-Vermont, at Wllllsmstown. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Oct. 21. Everything is In readiness for the big intercollegiate football game be tween Oregon and "Whitman tomorrow. Both teams went through their final drills on KIncald Field this afternoon, the practice in each instance being secret Coach Allen and Captain Chittenden are firm in the belief that Whitman will win. rnd every member of the visiting team expresses the same confidence. When seen this afternoon Captain Chittenden said: "Although not overconfident of victory. I believe our team will win. We made a poor showing against Multnomah, but three of our best men Ringer, Brown and Cosgrove did not play against the club men. Our team is in the pink of con dition, ready to play fast, snappy ball." Captain Watts and his men are not boasting of victory, but they will go into the game strong in the determination to avenge last year's defeat at the hands of the Missionaries. The Oregon eleven, Is somewhat lighter, than the visiting aggre gation, but the backs are fast and the experience gained in the Albany game will lyrove a valuable lesson to the 'varsity. Ex-Captain Zlegler has been assisting Coach Dolph this week, and his presence has infused a spirit of confidence into the ranks of the Oregonlans. It is quite likely that Jordan and Chand ler will play the end positions at the open ing of the game. Left Halfback Goodrich, of the Oregon team, Is on the sick list, and It is possible that he will be kept out of the game tomorrow. Light rains dur ing the past 24 hours have given Klncaid Field a good coat of mud, but the ground is not too slippery for fast playing. The following is the probable line-up: Oregon. Position.

The attendance statistician of The Phil adelphia North American has worked up the following interesting figures: The Ath letics far surpassed all the clubs of the American and National Leagues in draw ing power. Sixty-five days of play on the home grounds brought 420,078, an average of 6462 per day. The largest attendance was 23,897, the smallest 1051. On 33 occa olons the crowd numbered more than 5000; on 12 it passed 10,000; three times it was more than 15,000, and twice it went over 20,000. Away from home the Athletics played to 256,373, bringing their total to 676,451. The Phillies only passed 5000 three times, and never reached 10,000. Their best crowd was 7245 on the opening day; the smallest, 101. The total for the season was 112,066, an average of 2001. The Ath letics outdrew the Phillies more than 3 to 1. In every city where there was a con flict the American League bested the Na tional. Last year the Natipnal outdrew the American 236,447. This year more than reverses the figures, and the younger or ganization has a lead of 523,445. New York, the National League tail-ender, leads the organization In paid admissions, and the Phillies are last.

During the season of 1902 the Athletics played before an aggregate of 684.SS4 spec tators In their championship games, and it is estimated that the team's share of the receipts of these contests amounted to about $120,000. At home 411,329 fans paid tribute to the White Elephant; while Abroad 273,655 enthusiasts visited the box offices when the Mack-Shlbe team was the attraction.
