Seeking Evidence.
WOMAN CLEARS HUSBAND
Mnch-Soufrht "Mrs. Lawrence" Ad
mits Spicy Life, but Says Famous
AVhip Xever Visited Xor Lived
' With Her, aa Wife Alleged.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-(Speclal.)-Still
another set-back has been suffered by
Mrs. Frances Work-Burke-Roche-Batonyl
in her efforts to secure a divorce from
Aurel Batonyi, famous whip and horse
show Judge, who last Fall officiated at
the Portland horseshow and others on
the Coast.
Testimony received from Greenwich.
Conn., by W. M. K. Olcott, her counsel,
showed she had failed to establish any
material facts to aid, her by taking the
testimony of Mrs. Llllie Lawrence, who,
as Margaret Allen, was named as a co
respondent, fnder oath before Commis
sioner Frederick A. Hubbard In Green
wich. the Lawrence woman denied abso
lutely that she ever had been guilty of
misconduct with Batonyi. Indeed, she
asserted she did not know him.
It developed In Greenwich that she
goes under the name of Mrs. Henry
Lawrence In this city. It was the first
time the Identity of Margaret Allen had
been revealed, and the revelation gave
promise that a prominent man of this
city might be draped Into the Batonyi
suit, causing another scandal.
Not Married, She Admits.
Mrs. Lawrence testified that she once
went under the name of Margaret
Allen. She said she now Is known as
Mrs. Henry Lawrence, and that she has
a luxurious apartment in No. 266 Cen
tral Park West. The woman admitted
she was not married to Lawrence, but
said she had lived with him Intermit
tently for about 18 years. When she was
asked whether he was married, with a
wife and children, she finally refused to
answer. She also declined to tell whether
Henry Lawrence was his real name or
whether he was a man of wealth and so
cial position. e
Mrs. Batonyi charged that her hus
band baj been guilty of Improper con
duct with Mrs. Lawrence on the even
ing of December 19. 1907. She asserted
that Batonyi remained in the woman's
apartment from 7 until 11 o'clock In the
evening. Detectives commissioned to
shadow Batonyi heard him call up a cer
tain Riverside telephone number several
times. By the number they found the
house and watched It. On the evening
In question a man answering the descrip
tion of Batonyi was seen to enter the
house and the Lawrence apartment.
May Have Been Nurse's Son.
When questioned whether Batonyi had
been in her home on that night, Mrs.
Lawrence denied It absolutely. She said
no man of Batonyi's description ever
visited her. About that date the son of
her nurse called to get financial aid. she
said, and remained In her apartment
several hours. Requested to describe
him. she said he was tall, slender and
athletic, but that his hair was light and
his complexion ruddy.
It was a stormy night, and the evi
dence Indicated the detectives mistook
the youth for Batonyi, whom he resem
bled In build. Afterward, on the same
night, they saw a man In his shirt sleeves
in the apartment and concluded it was
Batonyi.
After Mrs. Lawrence denied she ever
had met the whip, counsel questioned
her about her history. She said that
about IS years ago she sued for a divorce
and when the action was pending she
met the man she called Lawrence and
went to live with him In an apartment.
She was non-committal about much of
her history, but stoutly maintained she
had never known Batonyi.
HOTEL MEN HAVE TRUST
Tourists Buncoed In Japan, Is
Charge Made.
SHANGHAI. Aug. 2S.-(Speclal.-At a
meeting of managers of foreign-style ho
tels held recently in Tokio there was
founded The Japan Hotel Association,
the object of which Is to put a stop to
the "injury done by selfish, persons to
the business of entertaining foreign
travelers."
The tourist, it appears, in Japan, as
In other countries, has his grievances.

commodation in the trains. The tempera
ture in cars Is not uniform and passen
ger cars are dirty. Men smoke In them,
to the great discomfort of women pas
sengers, while food, service and waiting
room accommodations are all Imperfect.
In some hotels fabulously high charges
are made for ordinary sen-ices to for
eigners. . Jlnriklsha accommodation Is
poor, and Jlnrikishamen are weak and
feeble, yet sometimes a double charge Is
made to foreigners. Business houses
over-charge foreign guests, and dlvldi
the surplus with the guides. There are
cases where, when orders for goods are
sent, and the packages arrive with the
contents not as ordered, negotiation falls
to remedy matters.
Although the police system 'Is highly
developed In Japan, sometimes there are
policemen who merely smile at com
plaints when a misunderstanding takes
place with a "riklshaman." While, as
one of the members pointed out, condi
tions In Japan will not permit the asso
ciation to emulate the style of the Waldorf-Astoria
in New York or the Hotel
Cecil In London, a high ideal can be set
up so that visitors to the country may
go away satisfied with the efforts made
to cater for their comfort.
SIGEL CASE IS ECHOED
CHINESE IX GERMANY RILLS
GIRL AND HIMSELF.
Enraged Because Faithless Lover
Spurns Him for Jap, He Seeks
Her Out and Tragedy Ensues.
BERLIN, Aug. 29. (Special.) A trag
edy which seems like an echo of the
murder of Elsie Slgel was enacted this
morning at Frankfort - on - the - Main.
Three or four weeks ago Hildegard Hoff
man, a Breslau girl, was appearing with
a Celestial named Chang Tscheng You
at an obscure Berlin variety theater as
a Germano-Chlnese pas de deux. rt
seems an Intimate relationship existed
between the two. When Frankfort was
filled with visitors to the Aeronautical
Exhibition, the young woman decided to
try her luck In that town. Her Oriental
lover remained in Berlin.
Before many days were over the girl
lost her he-art to a Japanese attendant
In the tearooms at the exhibition, and
wrote to Chang informing him curtly
that he must renounce all claims, to her
favors. The lovesick Chinese alt once
took train to Frankfort, and presented
himself at the lodgings of hla faithless
friend. The landlord informed him she
was not at home, but he would not be
lieve this till he had satisfied himself
by examining her room.
He spent the night in a fruitless search
of the exhibition cafes, and at 6 o'clock
next morning again appeared at the
house where the girl was staying and
asked to see her on an urgent matter.
The moment, however, that she came to
the door of her room he pulled out a re
volver and without speaking a word fired
two shots at her. The girl fell to the
floor seriously wounded, whereupon he
discharged another bullet Into her body.
Meanwhile, the landlord had rushed to
the spot and commenced to overwhelm
the murderer with reproaches. The lat
ter, however, still without uttering a
syllable, now turned the weapon against
himself and fired two more shots. As he
collapsed on the ground he flung his arm
round the fickle object of his passon, who
was still writhing in agony. In a few
minutes both had breathed their last.

they tried to turn the carover. Finding
this impossible some one rang the fire
alarm and two companies of fire ap
paratus responded. Firemen and citizens
secured timbers with which they pried the
car off its trucks and turned It over on
its side. The sufferers were then released
after having been pinioned to the ground
for more than five minutes.
The first one removed was Barker
whose limp body was lifeless. The wo
women and the men were easily freed.
Brant was carried to the lawn of a
nearby residence and the others were
assisted to the sidewalk. Dr. R. H. Wel
lington, S4ii Mississippi avenue reached
the scene only a few moments after the
crash and gave the injured first aid. Two
Red Cross ambulances were summoned
and the injured were taken to St. Vin

by the ambulance drivers was extremely
meritorious. The horses were raced at
a gallop all the way over and back to
the hospital again placing the patients
In the surgery ward 15 minutes after the
crash.
Coroner Starts Probe.
Deputy Coroner Dunning was notified
and took charge of the remains of
Barker. He immediately instituted an
investigation into the 'cause of the ac
cident. The streetcar, No. 175. of the
Russell-Shaver line wae in charge of
Motorman B. M. Clinton, of 15 West
Jessup street, and Conductor L. W. Ed
wards, of 864 Gantenbein- avenue. The
car waa empty and the motorman had
the controller turned as far as the sixth
notch. All witnesses unite in saying the
car was speeding. It was going south
and the picnic party was going west on
Failing street.
Motorman Clinton said:
"Just as soon as I saw that an ac
cident was imminent I reversed the con
troller and applied brakes. The wheels
locked and we slid along the tracks. I
did everything. I could in my power to
prevent the collision. I believe, how
ever, that if air-brakes had been on the
car its speed might Tiave been checked
sufficiently to have prevented the
violence of the collision If not to have
prevented It entirely."
Conductor Didn't Knjuw.
Conductor Edwards said:
"I do not know anything about the ac
cident or the cause of It. When our car
came to a stop I alighted to sge what
was the matter and found the wagon had
been hit."
The streetcar was empty at the time
and was making Its return run to town.
Whether blame Is attached to the motor-.
man will be inquired into by an official
investigation made by the coroner's jury
at the inquest into Barker's death.
Brant, the driver of the wagon, accord
ing to all the witnesses, made no effort
to stop. He was perhaps 50 yards be
hind the first wagon and his horses were
trotting. ' Instead of slowing down for
the car to pass he whipped them in an
endeavor to cross In front of the car suc
cessfully. None of the occupants of the wagon
struck was able to give an explanation
of it- Brant said:
"I did not see the car, it was coming
so fast, until it was right on top of us.
My wheels were on the car tracks then,
so I tried to get over and out of the way
as fast as I could." -

Reld all said that the crash came so
suddenly they did not know what had
happened.
Women Victims, Brave.
Conspicuous among the Incidents follow
ing the accident was the heroic behavior
of Mrs. Steuer and Miss Burgess. Both
were severely and painfully hurt but
neither complained after she had been ex
tricated from her prison. Both women
were more composed than the women of
the crowd which formed and who almost
went into hysterics when It was learned
two women were niynbered among the
victims.
That all of the people In the Ill-fated
wagon had not been killed outright seems
miraculous. The wagon, a two-horse ve
hicle with a top, was demolished. When
the car was pried off from it It resembled
a pile of kindling wood. That seven peo
ple could have been dragged under It for
so great a distance without more fatal
ities astounded everyone who visited the

Driver Brown, who saw the crash dis
tinctly, gave it as his opinion that the
streetcar was traveling at too great a
speed and that effort to slow the car
down was not made by the motorman
until too late. This view was taken by
other members of the party in Brown's
wagon. M. Kruger, of 822 Commercial
avenue, and several others living in the
vicinity who were eyewitnesses of the
crash, place the blame partly upon the
, motorman and partly upon Driver Brant.

All of the vctims of the wrecked wagon
were taken to St. Vincent's Hospital ex

and was driven to his home.
Streetcar traffic on the Russell-Shaver
line was blocked on account of the over
turned car and passengers were sent by

STILL TO FIGHT
RUMORS OF RETIREMENT OF
SPEAKER UNFOUNDED.
t'nele Joe Forcibly Announces He
Vill Be Candidate for Re
election and Also for Speaker.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aug. 29. From time to time va
rious rumors are put forth with respect
to Speaker Cannon. One day he Is not to
seek re-election to the next House of Rep
resentatives; the next day he is not to be
a candidate for re-election as Speaker,
though he will seek return to Congress,
and then comes a rumor that the Speaker
intends, on account of failing health, soon
to retire to private life, fearing the strain
of office may prove too much for him. As
forcefully as he could, the Speaker, on
his return to Illinois, entered denial of
these various rumors, and left it to be
inferred that if he lives he not only In
tends to be a candidate for re-election to
the House, but will again seek the Speak
ership if the House is Republican.
Many of the Cannon rumors unquestion
ably ere set afloat by the House in
surgents, whose wish is father to the
thought. These men are still conspiring
In the hope of overthrowing Cannon. But
it is difficult to figure out how they can
accomplish their end. At the most lib
eral estimate, there are only 31 insurgents
in the House of Representatives today. A
candidate for Speaker is always nomi
nated In the party caucus, and 31 men
would have no chance whatever of con
trolling a majority of either party in the
House.
They may repeat their tactics of last
March, If the next House be Republican,
and form a combination with the Demo
crats to defeat Cannon if he is renomi
nated for Speaker. But the insurgents
have overlooked this fact: Speaker Can
non made the Democratic committee as
signments in the present Congress, and
he was careful to see that his Demo
cratic friends got good places. These
Democrats will not prove ungrateful. So,
if it should transpire that the Insurgents,
by combining with the Democrats, could
make a majority of the House against
Cannon, there would be a sufficient num
ber of Democrats voting with Cannon's
Republican supporters to make sure his
re-election,
Experience has demonstrated that a
certain number of Democratic votes can
always be had when badly needed in
House or Senate to pull the organization
out of a hole. Speaker Cannon is a foxy
old politician. He knows the game as it
has long been played, and the only time
he was lost was when playing against
President Roosevelt. He lost out then be
cause Roosevelt played according to
Roosevelt rules, and those rules were al
ways a mystery to "Uncle Joe."
If Democratic expectations are met,
however, and the next House goes Demo
cratic, Cannon will be eliminated as a
factor, and will drop bak into his old
position of floor leader of the minority.
In that e-ent. he might consider n not
wortfl while to continue in Congress. But
a Democratic victory at the polls. In the
next congressional election, is the only
thing now discernible that is likely to
drive Cannon out of Congress, excepting,
of course, the Almighty, and it is not be
yond the bounds of possibility that a man
of Cannon's age may not be here two
years hence.
TRAGEDY WINDS UP WORRY
Brothers Court Same Girl and One
Attacks Other.
LONDON, Aug. 28. A romance In
which two brothers sued for the hand
of the same woman ended In a tragedy
at Birmingham yesterday. One brother
lies dead at the mortuary and the other
is In hospital greviously wounded and
with only slender chances of recovery.
Henry and Arthur Clews, the two
brothers, were between 40 and 50 years
old, and, both unmarried, had lived un
der one. roof all their lives. Lately their
household had been attended by a Miss
Martin, their mother being, bedridden.
Miss Martin, it appears, was wooed by
both the brothers. Finally she accepted
the elder. Henry, and the wedding was
to have taken place a week hence.
Arthur was greatly Incensed against
his rival when he heard this, and hot
words passed between them. The broth
ers were in partnership as coppersmiths
and had a workshop very near to their
dwelling in Darwin street. While Henry
was engaged in the workship yesterday
morning Arthur attacked him with a
heavy blacksmith's hammer, inflicting
terrible Injuries about the head. Arthur
afterwards committed suicide by cutting
his throat 'with his razor. A boy named
Wittingham, who was sole witness of
the tragedy, raised an alarm, and Henry
was removed to Queen's Hospital, where
an operation was performed.

CHAPLAIN SAYS IMPROVEMENT
Rev. J. Holmes McGlnness 3IaTies
Official Announcement.
ARDEN, N. Y, Aujr. 29. "Mr. Har
rlman Is better. You may say that
Mrs. Harrlman and all of us are very
happy over the steady Improvement in
Mr. Harrlman's health since his arrival
at Arden house. So far as I know,
this is the first authorized statement
made by any member of the household
and I am most solicitous that it should
be printed precisely as I present it."
This statement was made today by
Rev. J. Holmes McGulnness, E. H. Har
rlman's personal chaplain, who Bpoke
conservatively and with authority after
dining with the family today and talk
ing with Mr. Harriman.
"My position in this matter is very
sharply defined," said Mr. McGulnness.
"I am Mr. Harrlman's personal chap
lain. He took . up as a mere boy
when I was only 15 and I feel bound
to him by ties of deepest gratitude.
But I will make you a concession. If
you think an announcement as posi
tive as I can give you would put an
end to sensational rumors, I would do
what I can to help you, and I speak
as a Christian clergyman all that I
can tell you is that Mr. Harriman is
better now and that we are all very
happy about it."
All that was heard here today
seemed to echo the cheerful opinion
