SCENES DRAMATIC
IN STEINHEIL CASE
Actor Accuses Himself
of Murders.
WOMAN CAN'T IDENTIFY HIM
He Admits Acting Merely on
Chivalrous Impulse.
FAURE'S NAME INVOLVED
Madame Steinheil, With Air of
Tragedy Queen, Adheres to Story
of Murders, but Admits
Love Affairs.
PARIS, Nov. 4. Dramatic situations
followed fast one upon another in court
today, where the trial of Mme. Mar
guerite Steinheil, accused of having; mur
dered her husband and her step-mother,
Mme. Japy, was continued. As on the
opening; day of the sensational case, Paris
was wrought to a high tension over the
promised disclosures. Mme. Steinheil was
again on the stand, dressed In a mourn
ing; gown, a dramatic, though pathetic
figure, fighting hard for life.
. In the midst of her inquisition by the
presiding Judge, her attorney. M. Aubin.
with melodramatic effect, suddenly pushed
to the forefront a man who, he said,
wished to confess that he had taken part
in the murders with which Mme. Steinheil
was charged. ' .
Accuses Himself of Crime.
M. Aubin read a letter signed "Jean
lv" Fevre." asking that he be permitted
to confess', and then he pointed at the
man and said, "This Is Jean Its Fevre."
Mme. Steinheil erased at him wearily,
and after he had made a rambling state
ment, in whichj he said that, disguised as
a woman and wearing a wig of red hair,
he had helped commit the murders, she
declared she could not identify him as
one of the murderers whom ahe had pre
viously described.
The presiding judge promptly ordered
Le Fevre's arrest and an investigation of
his statement. A search of the man dis
closed two photographs, one of Mme.
teinhell and the other of the house
where the crime was committed. Le Fevre
was locked up as a vagabond.
Admits Chivalrous Impulse.
he police are Inclined to believe the
man's self-accusation belongs In the cate
gory of Incidents well known to criminolo
gists, where an Individual, half demented
by reading of the case and possibly
fancying; himself in love with the pris
oner, has resolved to sacrifice himself for
a fascinating woman. Le Fevre's de
scription of the crime coincided with the
original version on which Mme. Steinheil
now Insists.
On further examination before a magis
trate. Le Fevre said his name was Rene
Collard and that he was an actor. Ha
admitted that he had not the slightest
connection with the crime and had merely
acted on a chivalrous impulse to save
Mme. Steinheil, of whose Innocence he
was convinced. He was ordered detained
pending investigation of his identity.
Faure's Xarae Brought In.
As proceedings were closing, the first
direct mention of Felix Faure, late Presi
dent of France, was made. Much In
terest in the cape is because of the friend
ship that existed between Mme. Steinheil
and the late President, and several times
the prisoner made vague reference to "a
high political personage who had been
my friend." His fatal illness occurred
at the prisoner's house.
The direct reference to the President
was made in connection with a discus
sion of the incident of finding an Invita
tion to an exhibition at the Steinheil
home, together with pieces of a visiting
card of Mme. Maseline, with the name
of a customer written in, which Mme.
Steinheil asserts was dropped by fleeing
assassins. ' Responding to a question as
to whether it was at the home of Mme.
Maseline at Havre that she met 1'ree.i
dent Faure. the prisoner replied: "No. it
was during a trip to the Alps." The
Judge did not pursue this line of inquiry
further.
Fails to Shake Her Story.
Owing to the many trying ordeals of
the day and the fatigue which the pris
oner showed, her lawyer asked for an
early adjournment, and the hearing was
brought to a close by the Judge referring
to the accusation against Frederick Har
rison Burllngham. an American newspa
per man. but the prisoner persisted that
she had never definitely accused him, but
had only said he resembled one of the
assassins.
A summary of the evidence shows that
the Judge failed to shake Mme. Steln
hetl's version of the crime. She admit
ted intrigue, but heatedly denied that she
had sent her mother to solicit from her
lovers and she Insisted her husband had
never profited by her immoral life. Ad
mitting doing wrong, she besought the
Jury to pardon her faults. She defended
herself by saying that, since she did not
live, with her husband as his wife, she
longed for sympathy and love.
When confronted with inconsistencies
in her stories, she Justified them by say
ing she had lost her head when harassed
by Journalists and detectives and had
thus been ltd to believe that those whom
she had accused were perhaps guilty.
The Judge led her again and again over

M'CtXLOCH QUITS SEARCH ON
FOGBOUXD pOAST.
Commander of Revenue Boat Fears
Risk- of Prowling Xear Cali
fornia Shore In Dark. '
SAN FRANCISCO, Nor. 4. A wireless
message received .by the Merchants'
Exchange tonight from the revenue
cutter McCulloch states that the Gov
ernment ship has been unable so far
to locate the steamer reported on the
rocks between Tomales and Bolinas
Bays, north of the entrance of this
harbor. The McCulloch asked for mora
definite information- as to the location
of the supposed wreck.
- The revenue cutter sailed within an
hour after the report of the wreck
was received from the north coast and
has been cruising as close to shore as
the fog would permit, on the lookout
for the wreck.
A wireless message received late to
night stated that the McCulloch had
given up the search for the night and
was headed out to sea, the commander
of the cutter deeming it risky to stay
too close to shore during the fog. No
trace of the supposed wreck had been
discovered. '
A telephonic message from Bodega, the
point where the alarm originated, stated
that nothing had been heard or seen for
many hours and that searching parties
along the cliffs had discovered, no trace of
the steamer.

TACOMA OSES-ITS
CHANCE AT SENATE
Knifing of McCredie Is
Believed Fatal. :
CONTINGENCY PROFITS WILSON
Seattle " Editor Thought to
Have Better Chance.
CANDIDATES ARE LEGION
Judge Burke or Senator Piles Is Ex
pected to Be Wilson's Chief Op
ponent Polndexter AVould
Try Insurging Once More.
BT R. O. CALLVERT.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 4. (Staff cor
respondence.) That a Tacoma man is no
longer a possibility In the coming primary
contest for the Republican Indorsement
of a candidate for the- United States Sen
ate is the general opinion in Seattle
since the results of the district Con
gressional election became known.
While Seattle has not conceded that
there was ever a very strong chance for
tbe election of a Tacoma candidate, the
majority polled against Judge McCredie
in the Congressional election in Pierce
County is looked upon as blasting; every
hope that county had of winning the
Senatorshlp through a division of Se
attle ' strength among several candi
dates. The Columbia River counties and the
other portions of the southwest that
stood by the Republican candidate In
the Congressional fight need not go to
the trouble of knifing the party ticket
to punish Tacoma, and the reports here
indicate that the feeling; will be shown
not only in the Senatorial situation, but
in other ways.
Southwest to Fight Tacoma.
There will be a successor to Judge
McCredie to choose next Fall, and there
Is evidence that, no matter in which
branch of Congress Tacoma as a com
munity seeks representation, the south
west will unite against the Tacoma
candidate in the party primaries to "get
even." It is now believed here that
Pierce County will not bring out a can
didate for the Senate, although under
the primary election plan any one may
run who has the filing fee. It is proba
ble that one or mora Tacoma men will
announce themselves as the "Tacoma
candidate."
The efforts of the leaders will be to
unseat Judge McCredie by nominating at
the regular primary a Tacoma Republi
can for Representative In Congress. The
southwest combination, however, has the
votes to defeat this plan and Tuesday's
election is looked upon here as practic
ally insuring Judge McCredle's re-election.
In the Senatorial contest, the Tacoma
men who have been endeavoring to in
duce J. M. Ashton to enter the race,
it is believed, will now abandon that at
tempt, but it is possible that some man
of means with political ambition, like
W. H. Snell or R. L. McCormick, may
go in as a more or less independent
candidate.
Wilson's Chances Strong.
Politicians believe that the situation
in Pierce County brought about by the
knifing of Judge McCredie strengthens
the chances of John L. Wilson, ex-

Motor Breaks and Balloon Shoots
Upward, Taking Course Toward
Atlantic Ocean.
SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 4. While at
tempting to follow the automobile parade,
at the head of which President Taft rode
through Savannah tonight, Fred Owens,
an aviator, had a thrilling experience in
a dirigible balloon, narrowly escaping
death.
He sailed from Forsythe Park exten
sion while a big Government searchlight
played on the craft. Just as Owens and
another airship turned in behind the
parade 300 feet in the air a wire on
Owens' motor broke and the motor
stopped. A high wind was blowing and
it tossed the helpless airship upwards to
1000 feet and drove it toward the ocean.
Owens was "lost" for 15 minutes, while
the searchlights sought hira and thou
sands of persons scattered to render him
aid should he fall. Several times he was
almost swept from his seat, but the air
ship finally was brought down in safety.
WED IN HISTORIC HOUSE
E. S. Cliadwlck, of Twin Falls, and
Miss Ayers Are Married.
RIVERSIDE, Cal., Nov. 4. (Special.)
While the chimes in the tower
pealed the Lohengrin bridal chorus,
Edward S. Chadwick, of Twin Falls,
Idaho, and Miss Maude Ayers, of Se
attle were married Monday evening in
the Presidential suite of the Glenwood
Mission Inn. Rev. Fred Johnson, an
old friend of the family, performed
the ceremony. .-'
The living-room of the suite, where
three Presidents have been entertained,
is so beautiful in itself that Mttle waa
done In the way of floral' a lornment.
Great shaggy, white chrysanthemums
and pink and white carnations vere
used in simple arrangements. The
bride was unattended. During the
ceremony the chimes sounded "Drink
to Me Only With Thine Eyes." The
groom's mother, Mrs. Ella M. Chad
wick, and his sister. Miss F. Winifred
Chadwick, of Los Angeles, witnessed
the ceremony.
Mr. Chadwick is a prominent young
banker of Twin Falls. Upon their re
turn from their wedding trip he and
his bride will make their home in that
city.
COMET WILL DARKEN SUN
Moving Star May Form Eclipse, on
May 18, Says Searle.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 4. Halley's
comet will pass across the sun's face on
May 18 next, if calculations made by
Father G. M. Searle, C. S. P., the New
York astronomer, received at the Harvard
College observatory today, prove correct.
Father Searle based his intricate calcu
lations from observations made at Mount
Hamilton, California, September 12, 13 and
14, and at Williams Bay on September
28 and October 19.
Concluding his table of deductions,
Father Searle states: .
These elements give a geometric con
junction In the longitude of the comet
with the sun on May 18, 8:18 Greenwich,
mean time, the comet's geometric lati
tude being thus 4 degrees 15 minutes. Al
though the result cannot, of course, be
accepted as final, it seems quite prob
able that there may be a transit."

WASHINGTON, Nov. t Refusing

Peary North Pole controversy r"the""State
Department today declined a request that
It cable American Minister Egan at Co
penhagen permission to examine the rec
ords of Dr. Frederick A. Cook when
they are submitted to that Institution.
The request was made by a delegation
from the National Geographic Society,
which will appoint a committee to visit
the foremost Danish scientific institu
tion to which Dr. Cook is to submit his
records.
Scientists Make Demand.
The desire to have the request go
through the official channels was ex
pressed at a conference between Assist
ant Secretary of State Huntington Wilson
and Messrs. Gannett, the Government
chief . geographer: Edson, ex-presldent of
the Board of Trade of Washington ;Gros
venor. editor of the official organ of the
society; Gore and Colvllle, all prominent
members of the National Geographic So
ciety. The request was made on the
ground that the examination would be by
scientists of attainments particularly
valuable in the adjustment of the Polar
problem.
Request Turned Down.
The department took the request un
der advisement and later decided It could
not accede to it. It was felt such ac
tion would constitute official recognition
of Commander Peary as against Dr.
Cook; that any unusual action on its part
might be interpreted as an endorsement
of the claim of one or the other of the
two explorers as to priority of discovery.
The department has notified Secretary
Grosvenor of its attitude.

FOR SHORT HOURS
CLEVELAND SCHOLARS OBJECT
TO DOUBLE SESSIONS.
Principal Offers Better Lunch, but
Strikers AH Talk of Com
promise. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 4. Pri-ipal
Charles Lynch of West High School made
a compromise proposition today to the 430
boys and girls of his school who are on
strike against double sessions and bad
lunches, that he will see to providing
better meals at noon'if they will return.

change the double sessions.
The pupils will not consider the pro
posal. When school . convened not more
than 100 pupils were in the build
ing. The other 400 held a meeting
and adopted resolutions to prolong the
fight. It was decided to Invite the pu
pils of other high schools to Join in the
strike.

yell and blew horns, but the Lincoln pu
pils refused to walk out. The West
High boys withdrew, leaving ten to
picket the school yards. The pickets
were driven away by Principal Smiley
and a policeman.

stormy. - It lasted six hours and it was
only after a heated debate that the con- '
gregation voted Its endorsement, by a
close margin, of the report in Mrs. Stet- :
son's favor.
The most important charges were in
effect that Mrs. Stetson's teachings had

Baker G. Eddy and that Mrs. Stetson had
been guilty of "mental malpractice" in 1
bringing Christian Science to .bear upo'n j
people who did not welcome it "by hyp- i
