ST. PAUL, Minn., July 5. Twenty-one
persons are now known to have been
killed In the tornado which swept a path
WO miles long and from a mile to a few
rods in width through the counties of
Central Wisconsin on Wednesday night.
Details of the damage done by. the tor
nado are still coming In very slowly, and
it is believed that the death list will be
somewhat Increased when all points vis
ited by the tornado are heard from. In
addition to those killed, a score or more
people were injured, some of them so
dangerously that their recovery is doubt
ful. The property damage has not been
accurately estimated, but undoubtedly
will be heavy.
Additions to Death List.
To the names of those heretofore re
ported dead the following have been
added:
Near Elroy:
Mrs. Ole Wetley, instantly killed.
Five children of Ole Nazef, crushed be
neath the ruins of their home.
Mrs. Gullick Thompson, died from In
juries. Ole Brown, died from injuries.
The tornado passed about five miles to
the south of Elroy, through a rich farm
ing country, destroying houses and barns
and sweeping crops and farm animals be
fore It. Many farmers in this vicinity
lost everything they possessed.
Crushed to Death by Horse.
The two children of Joseph Buckner, a
Jackson County farmer, whose ' deaths
were reported yesterday, were killed In a
peculiar manner; Mr. Buckner saw the
storm coming and with his children took
refuge in the cellar. .The house was
carried away and - a horse, which had
been blown out of -the barn and carried
into the air, fell upon the family crouch
ing in the cellar. Edna and Will Buck
ner were killed and Mr. and Mrs. Buck
ner was badly injured. One boy of the
Buckner family was blown away before
he could reach the cellar and was badly
injured.
More than 23 farm houses were demol
ished In Jackson County.

servers from state courts, where his pres
ence as a witness may be desired.

court desired to know of him and the rea
mr.n for his being summoned to appear
before Judge Landls. He was shown the
questions the court wanted answered and
then talked over the legal procedure of the
taw.
Mr. Rockefeller will not be 'able to glv.
the court much detailed Information. He
will, of course, answer the questions ad
dressed him to the best of his ability, but
he has not attended a meeting of the board
.C directors for eight yearQ. and cannot
know much more -than a general outline of
the company's work.
In order to prevent any disturbance by
cranks. Deputy Marshals will be stationed
throughout the courtroom. Orders were
issued tonight from the United States

dozen detectives surronuded the McCor
mick mansion, and no one was allowed
near the place without giving a detailed
account of himself and his business.

was given officially today by A. L.
Elliott, general counsel for the Stand

United States Marshal Henkel had
in his possession a subpena for Wil

secure service on him. It was reported
that he was in various places, but Mr.

ALI.-STELL BOX CAKS ARE BUILT t'OB UNION PAC'IUC.
CHICAGO, July 4. With their own all-steel passenger and postal cars now en the rails, the Omaha shops of
the Union Pacific have turned out two sample all-steel box cars from designs of the motive power department. This
is another step toward the approaching era of steel rolling stock of all kinds. It leaves to be produced only the all-steel
dining-car, which calls for no new structural features such as are embodied in other types.
With great cubic capacity, the all-steel box car weighs only 37.800 pounds, or two tons less than the standard wood
en car. Besides the element of greater safety and protection to goods In transit, the steel car has the advantage of ;
requiring less repair than the wooden car, will be out of service less frequently and will therefore give more as well
as better service to the carrier and to shippers.
A single 13-inch "1" beam forms the center sill of the car, below the double steel flooring. The sides and ends
are of thin sheet steel, riveted evry two feet to angle carlins. East door la a single sheet of steel, reinforced, like
the sides and ends of the car, by diagonal bracing. , '
The only difference in dimensions between the steel and wooden Union Pacific box car is that the steel car Is four
and a half Inches wider and two inches lower. The length, 40 feet. Is the same, but the steel car has a' greater capac
ity by B0 cubic feet.
Henkel was unable to locate him. Ac
cording to Mr. Elliott's statement, Mr.
Rockefeller decided, as soon as he
heard that there was a subpena out
for him, to go to Chicago without
waiting for service.
H. H. Rogers, for whom a subpena
has P.lso been issued, returned today
from Europe on the Baltic, but Mr.
Henkel had already returned the
subpena to Chicago with the informa
tion that Mr. Rogers was not In his
Jurisdiction. As soon as he heard Mr.
Rogers had returned, Mr. Henkel tele
phoned Starr J. Murphy, John D.
Rockefeller's personal counsel, asking
him to notify Mr. Rogers that he was
wanted in Chicago. Mr. Murphy said
that he had no information that Mr.
Rogers had returned, but that he would
take Mr. Henkel's message to him as
soon as he appeared at the Standard
Oil Company's office. But even if Mr.
Rogers decides tonight to go to Chi
cago without the formality . of a
subpena, he will not be able to reach
there in time, as the subpena calls for
the presence of the witnesses at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
When approached upon his arrival,
Mr. Rogers pointed with a smile to the
headlines in the newspapers telling of
the service of a subpena upon John I.
Rockefeller, but he would make no
comment upon it. Mr. Rogers said Sir
Thomas Lipton had told him he was
coming to America next year. Mr. Rog
ers jokingly suggested that Sir Thomas
Lipton bring a steam yacht and have
a good race.
ARGUE! SUNDAY REST LAW
Effort Made in Idaho to Declare New
Regulation Unconstitutional.
BOISE, Idaho, July 5. (Special.1
Arguments on the writ of habeas
corpus, which was petitibned for by
Jerome Jacobs, a saloonkeeper of Wal
lace, for violating the Sunday rest law,
were made before the Supreme Court
todav by Attorneys John P. Gray and
Hunry P. Knight, of Wallace, for the
petitioner and J. H. Peterson. Assistant
Attorney-General; Walter H. Hanson,
County Attorney of Shoshone County,
and It. P. Quarlcs, of Boise, for the
State. Mr. Quarles represented more
directly the International Reform So
ciety, represented here by G. L. Tufts
and others interested in seeing the law
upheld. The case was taken under ad
visement. The arguments were on the constitu
tionality of the law, as it is on the
contention that the law is unconstitu
tional that Jacobs asks for habeas
corpus. The principal contentions of the
attorneys for the petitioner were that
the law was unconstitutional because
its title is misleading and because the
Legislature In enacting the law made
arbitrary distinctions between different
occupations without any reason to jus
tify them. '
AUTO RUNS DOWN BUGGY
Man and Wife Have Narrow Escape
From Being Killed.
While one of Harry Estes' big auto
mobiles with four men passengers was
going to the Twelve-Mile House at 11
o'clock last night, the machine, driven
by E. L. Smith, ran down a horse and
buggy in which Abraham Kutner and
his wife were driving to town.
Mr. and Mrs. Kutner were bruised
and shaken up but neither was seri
ously injured, although the man suf
fered a bad laceration of the jaw. Both
had apparently been drinking and ad
mitted that had Smith not swerved the
automobile at the time he did they
would probably have been killed.
Each party places the responsibility for
the accident on the other.
LOOTER IS CAUGHT
Defaulter Runyan Betrayed by
a Woman.
HALF OF BOOTY RECOVERED
Thief Draws Revolver on Detectives
When Discovered, but Afterward
Quietly Submits to Arrest
tn House of Betrayer.
NEW YORK. July 5. Chester I. Run
yan. the defaulting teller of the Wind
sor Trust Company, was arrested in New
York today, and J54.410 of the stolen
money from the bank was recovered.
Runyan was found in the apartments of
Mrs. Laura M. Carter, of 619 West
One Hundred and Forty-Fourth street,
where he had been since he walked out
of the bank on Saturday, with all the
money from the teller's vault packed in
his suitcase.
Woman Goes to Police.
Mrs. Carter reported to the police this
afternoon that Runyan was In her flat.
Five detectives at once accompanied Mrs.
Carter to the house. She furnished them
with a key to the apartment and two of
the detectives entered the room, while
the others remained outside.
As the detectives entered, Runyan was
standing in front of the chiffonier. He
turned suddenly on the officers with a
revolver in his hand. The detectives
rushed at him, telling him to throw up
his hands. He thereupon dropped the
revolver and calmly submitted to being
handcuffed, saying:
"The Jig is up."
When asked where the money was, he
said that part of it was in the suitcase,
and the rest was in a drawer of the
chiffonier.
Woman Is Arrested.
When the detectives had finished ran
sacking the flat, Runyan was taken to
the police station. Mrs. Carter and her
negro maid, Mary Duncan, were also
placed under arrest. At the station, Run
yan was placed under arrest. He said he
had been in the fiat since Sunday, laugh
ing at the efforts the police were mak
ing to locate him. He said he had shaved "
off his moustache, and was letting his
beard grow as a disguise.
When questioned as to the whereabouts
of the remainder of the money missing at
the bank the sum lost was said to be
more than $96,000 he stated that he had
been speculating and had lost heavily, and
intimated that Mrs. Carter might know
something about any money that was
missing. Mrs. Carter indignantly denied
that fihe had any of the money, and
angrily told Runyan that she had be
trayed him to the police because he had
lied to her. and had not given her money
as he had promised.
Runyan stated that he had given Mrs.
Carter $15,000, but this she denied. He said
he gave her $5000 on Monday, and $10,000
this morning. Mrs. Carter said that he
gave her $5C00 on Monday, but that she
"Withdrew it from the bank this morning
and returned it to him.
Jewelry Is Confiscated.
It also developed that Runyan gave
Mrs. Carter a heavy gold bracelet and a
diamond ring on Saturday evening. These
were valued at $1000. The bracelet was
on Mrs. Carter's wrist at the time of
Runyan's arrest, and is now in the pos
session, of the police.
Mrs. Carter was closely questioned by
the police as to her acquaintance with
Runyan. She said she first met him on
the street, and had met him several times
after that. Finally, she said, he agreed
to furnish a flat for her and give her $450
a week. The fiat was secured and she
moved in two weeks ago. After that, she
said, she saw little of Runyan until last
Saturday, and he had given her little
money.'
Asked about the motive for the robbery,
Runyan said": '
"I needed the money. It was there and
I took It. Some of it I lost in Wall street,
and some of It gave to the woman."
George W. Young, a director of the
trust company, was closeted with Run
yan late tonight. Later he made a state
ment, in which he said that he had se
cured a list from Runyan showing a
shortage of $81,000.
Mr. Young said that Runyan had done
everything in his power to straighten out
matters at the bank.
Dabbles in, Stocks.
That Runyan was not the immaculate
young man his employers thought he
waa, up to the day he went off. with his
suitcase stuffed with the trust company's
money. Is an established fact.
For weeks before hi disappearance
he had been speculating In stocks un- 1
der the name of Martin Chase. Specu- J
lative accounts that he carried with
three stock brokerage houses have been
unearthed. He had sustained heavy
losses in these- ventures, and at least
two weeks before r.e fled bad stolen
$10,000 to make good his margined ac
counts. It is believed the 110,000 was
stolen at various times and the thefts
may have extended over a period of
several months. On July 1 the periodic
checking up of the trust company's
cash on hand would have revealed the
shortage and It is believed Runyan de
cided to get away with all he could.
Runyan was very careful in his deal
ings as Martin Chase. He even dis
guised his writing so that it bore no
resemblance to his own. As Martin
Chase, he wrote heavily and plainly,
shading each letter. He wrote back
handed es a further disguise. Speci
mens of his disguised writing have
been obtained by the Pinkertons.

to the fact that he is an old college chum

Mr. Davis was a member of President
McKinley's Cabinet, as Secretary of the
Interior. He was at one time Mayor of
Kansas City.

McClellan's Opposition to Re

Hearst.
IGNORES LEADERS' ADVICE
Hearst Men to' Call Convention to
Nominate Him Chanler Vainly
Tries to Mediate Between
Hearst and Tammany.
NEW YORK, July 5. (Special.) The
continued efforts of Mayor Mc-Clellan to
tie up the recount question are viewed
with great satisfaction by the real lead
ers in the Hearst movement.
"It means nearly 50,000 more votes to
us this Fall," remarked one of the big
men at the Gilsey house today.
In seeking to prolong the inevitable,
McClellan has disregarded the advice of
practically every big man in hia party.
When William Jennings Bryan was In
the city recently, he hinted to a mutual
friend that the Mayor's course was in
juring the Democratic party. On a re
cent visit to Princeton, the Mayor met
Grover Cleveland. It is understood, that
the former President did not mince words
in describing the situation.
"Don't be afraid; call Hearst's bluff,"
is said to have been the substance of his
advice.
But now, with all sorts of recount legis
lation on the statute books, Mr. McClel
lan continues his policy of Invoking
every possible technicality. His support
ers, all of whom are officeholders by the
way, declare boastfully that the appeal
to the United States Courts will take
up nearly a year. In addition to that,
there are several proceedings pending in
the State Courts.
Preparing to Nominate Hearst.
In the meantime the Hearst men are
rounding out their plans, and expect to
create all sorts of excitement within a
few months. As already stated in these
dispatches, the Hearst men are nearly
ready to spring the National organiza
tion upon an unsuspecting public. A
conference of delegates from the various
states will be held in this city sometime
in September. It is not expected, how
ever, that anything will toe done further
than to adopt "ringing resolutions."
This meeting, however, will arrange for
the calling of a National convention, and
the probabilities are that it will tie held
In the South, along about February.
Nobody doubts that Mr. Hearst will be
nominated for President with a represen
tative farmer or farmer's advocate as his
running mate. Whether the second man
on the ticket will come from the South
or the West has not yet been decided, but
Tom Watson of Georgia is the favorite
In the League's betting-book.
Immediately following the National
conference In this city local conventions
will be held, and full tickets placed in
nomination. In Greater New York there
will be elected this Fall 65 Aldermen. 61
Assemblymen, two Justices of the Su
preme Court, several Sheriffs and other
county officials. The Hearst men believe
Mr. McClellan is strengthening them
every day, and they confidently figure on
landing a good share of his valuable pa
tronage. Charles Murphy, the Tammany leader,
is admittedly worried over the outlook.
His lieutenants in the various districts
have been gathering data as to the senti
ment of. the voters, and they say it is
distinctly unfavorable. ,
"Unless conditions change for the bet
ter," one district leader said to Mr. Mur
phy the other day, "our vote will be
Bplit right up the back. Just as It was in
1905. The only difference is that the Re
publicans will hold their people, which
they failed to do when Ivins ran, and
are likely to carry the county. That
means they will get the Sheriff, Judges
and a lot of aldermen and assemblymen
to which they are not entitled.
Therrf will undoubtedly be war to the
knife between Tammany and the Hearst
men, but some Democrats have hopes of
bringing them together. One of the
wouldbe peacemakers is Lieutenant-Governor
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, and he
has been very much on the Job since the
Legislature adjourned. Mr. Chanler found
the Tammany men willing to promise any
thing or agree to anything.- Consequently
he hurried arofind to the Gilsey House,
full of Joy and confidence.
But the Hearst Oldguard chilled his en
thusiasm. Its members said they were
pot authorized to make anv deals or do

any dlckerings, and advised him to see
their leader. As Mr. Hearst is out on a
ranch in the wilds of California this did
not greatly encourage Mr. Chanler. He
declares, however, that he will return to
the attack when the peerless leader
reaches New York again.
Chanler's Boom Resented.
It might be mentioned, however, thnt
Mr. Chanler is no longer in favor with
the Independence League leaders. They
say he is more of a Democrat than he 13
a Leaguer, despite the fact that he Is the
head pin of both organizations In Dut
chess County. The League men also re
sent a Vice-Presidential boom that has
been started for Mr. Chanler. Some of his
supporters say the ticket will be Bryan
and Chanler, while others predict that
Johnson and Chanler are slated as stand
ard bearers, Mr. Johnson being the Dem
ocratic Governor of Minnesota.
Leaguers say that, as Mr. Chanler owed
his election to Mr. Hearst, he should do
all in his power to boost the organization
that made him famous.
"Why, If Chanler behaved himself, he
could be our candidate for Governor next
year," said one of the Gilsey House crowd,
"but if he continues to flirt with the
Democracy, he will find that he is out
all around, that crowd has no use for him
accept what they can get out of him."
On the surface Mr. Hearst and Mr.
Chanler are still on good terms, but they
have nearly reached the parting of the
ways. When the National conference of
the Independence League Is held In Sep
tember It will be up to Mr. Chanler to
place him on record. Should he fail to
attend he will undoubtedly be branded
as "a traitor to purity In politics." Fur
thermore he will be called all sorts of
dreadful names.
If he sticks to the League he will be
read out of the Democratic party.
The general belief, however. Is that all
the state officials, who sailed to victory
when Hearst went down to defeat last
Fall, will reaffirm their allegiance to De
mocracy, and repudiate the Independence
League, whereupon it will be up to the
