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.

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.

CROWDS AT BALL GAMES.
American League Draws 523,445
More People Than National.
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. The figures
follow:
National
New York.... 302,875
Chicago 263,700
