The man who died in Denver was
Identified by means of Bertlllion meas
urements as a paroled prisoner from
San Quentln penitentiary who was com
mitted from Oakland for burglary un
der the name of Simon L. M. von Vet

a Von Vetsera, nor was he of Voyal de
scent, as has been asserted. He be

from home when a boy and shipped as
a sailor. After his release from prison

T'nited States Postoffice Inspector. Henry
C. Hill on the charge of frauds amount
ing to J107.000 in connection with the
Cotton Goods Converters Company of

Kauffman for a long ,tlme was cotit
sidered one of the most trustworthy
business men of New York. His partner.
M. A. Isaacs, had such implicit confi
dence In his Integrity that, according to
him, he induced a number of his friends
to tak4 shares in the business.
Steals $107,000, Partner Fays.
The business proceeded satisfactorily
for six months, until a Cincinnati mer
chant named Blum, who had invested
in the company, asked a customer to
settl an outstanding, account which the
customer declared was not due An In
vestigation of the company's accounts
followed and resulted, it ia alleged. In
the discovery of a number of falsified
entries amounting to $107,000.
Kauffman in the meantime had disap
peared. Soma of the stockholders held
Isaacs morally responsible, but he gave
hla check for the total amount -missing.
The New York Credit Men's Association
took up the matter and had Kauffman
.Indicted. Mr. Hill waa placed in charge
of the case.
Pound by Wife's Carelessness.
It was known that . Kauffman had
sailed for Europe, but no clew could be
found until hla wife, who Is In business
In Lawrence, Mass., dropped a paper
containing a photograph of a hotel.
Neither the name of the hotel nor the
name of the city was mentioned, but
a window was marked and above it
werst tha words. "This is my room," In
Kauffman'a handwriting.
After many difficulties, the hotel waa
located in Vienna, where Kauffman re
sided under the name of Marvin Kent.
He bad ordered that his mail should be
sent to a tourist's office in Berlin. He
called there and Hill accosted him. At
first Kauffman stoutly denied his Identi
ty, but later he admitted that he was
the man and was arrested. He now
awaits extradition papers from the
United States.

CONGRESS TO LOSE PORK

Taft' River and Harbor Policy Will,
Spread Consternation in
Roth Houses.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. (Special.)
President Taft's suggestion In his
speech at St. Louis that the Internal im
provements hereafter are not to be
reckoned as so much 'Congressional
pork" will be a distinct shock to Con
gress, If the Idea Is carried by the Pres
ident to a logical conclusion.
"Pork barrels" are the big political
pla counters of Congress under the sys
tem which Mr. Taft now indirectly at
tacks. The patronage of Congress is
divided among the inner ring, including
the Speaker and his chief lieutenants,
and in this patronage the average Con
gressman Has no share whatever. The
best he can get under, any circum
stances Is a chairmanship of a minor
committee, with an appointment of a
clerk to the committee which may fall
to him, unless there Is some other mem
ber of the committee more powerful
than he. It is only when the rivers
and harbors bill or the public building
bill comes -long that the. average Con
gressman gets his slice.
The authorization of the Panama Ca
nal and its actual construction Is the
only big piece of improvement which
Congress has acted on In recent years
that did not carry with it a goodly slice
of "pie." ;ie fact that the oanal is
being dug In a foreign country and on
tropical soil has caused many of the
leading "packers" of Congress to avoid
contact with It.
Japanese Maneuvers Begin.
TOKIO. Nov. 4. The army maneuvers

Marshal Lord Kitchener and the mili
tary attaches of all the embassies. They
will continue for five days.

the Bellerophon, the leading Dreadnought

"In attaining this speed the turbine en
gines of the North Dakota were forced
to the development of more horsepower
than has been reached by any battleship
afloat. A maximum of 35.150 horsepower
was recorded, while 33.875 horsepower was
the mean amount. The maximum num
ber of revolutions of her nickel compo
sition propellers was 286 a minute. It
was found that 263 revolutions in this,
time were sufficient to maintain the con
tact speed of 21 knots.
Surpasses All Dreadnoughts.
The North Dakota by her performance
today takes precedence as a general first
class battleship. The figures recorded to
day surpass those of any other Dread
nought. There is but one such battleship
afloat the attainments of which mny ex
ceed those of the North Dakota. This Is
the Neptune. Just launched for the Brit
ish navy. The Neptune, however, will
have to- attain figures much in excess of
specifications to accomplish this. The
Bellerophon. of the British' navy, has
made but 22.1 knots. '

sister ships, are as follows:

It was on the first of her runs over

In her favor, and this Is not subtracted
from the best figures. In the recorded
mean, or average, however, the tidal cor
rections are made. Five trials over the
mile course were recorded, as follows;
22.25. 21.486. 22.13. 21.506 and 22.133.
The Influence of the tide on the vessel's
speed is shown in a comparison of the
time In succeeding miles. While the five
mile speed runs were being recorded the
North Dakota was also undergoing a two
hours' test for consumption of oil and
coal. The showing is understood to have
been satisfactory..
The Delaware Is equipped with recipro

Is fitted with turbines. Captain Edward

of their client. No appeal for commuta
tion of the sentence has been made to

and -Attorney-General's offices are in the
dark. It w understood, nowever, inn-i
writ of probable cause has been asked di
rect from the United States Supreme
Court at Washington, and that by this
means it is hoped to delay the execution.
Harry Daley, who has appealed to the
Governor for a commutation of the death
sentence, shows signs of the strain under
which he is laboring, but has not yet
given up hope of escaping the gallows.
GRAIN OPERATORS SELLING
Northwest Holdings Were for Pur
pose of Forcing Prices Down.
' LEWISTON. Idaho. Nov. 4. (Special.)
Preceding the slump In Chicago grain
prices, grain operators of both St. Louis
and Chicago, who entered the market of
the Northwest a few weeks ago. directed
that their holdings in the Northwest, that
were not delivered to the Middle West
grain centers, be sold in the local markets.
Local grain dealers believed the activity
of the Chicago and St. Louis buyers was
for the purpose of rushing wheat on the
Middle West markets to force down prices
and protect short options that had been
given. The move Is regarded as success
ful, for. following the heavy shipments to
Chicago and St. Luis, the markets have
been forced downward and the unshipped
grain will be remarketed in the section
where it was secured. '
It is estimated a loss of 5 cents a bushelI
was sustained on all grain bought In the
Northwest and. shipped to the Middle
West, but the saving on short options
has more than offset the loss.
