HEIRESS TO DIE
Mary Schrage Inherited Part
, of Murderer's Great
Wealth.
BODY FOUND IN LAGOON
Companion of Daughter of Does
trow, Who Killed Wife and In
fant Child in fit. Louis
and Died on Gallows.
CHICAGO. July IS. (Special.) The
trapedy of fate, which has pursued the
millionaire Duestrow family for years,
was recalled today by another death
that of Miss Mary Sehras?. who inherited
a portion of the millions left by the mur
derer who was hanged at St. Louis. Her
lifeless body was taken from the lagoon
In Jacks'on Park late last night, but a
valuable watch she wore was still going,
showing that she had not been in the
water long.
An abrasion on her neck and two deep
cuts in her wrists led to the theory of
murder, but' a postmortem examination
.this afternoon leads to the suicide theory,
as the surgeons say she had been suf
fering from an internal cancerous
growth, perhaps Incurable. The Coroner
Inclines to the belief that she slashed her
wrists in the hope of severing the ar
teries and then leaped from the lagoon
bridge.
Found by Pleasure Party.
A jolly party of pleasure-seekers, tra
versing the lagoon in an electric launch,
came upon the body, and panic resulted.
Two of the women fainted and the launch
put back to the landing and notified the
park policemen, who recovered the body.
The woman was richly dressed. Dia
monds were worn conspicuously; a
gold watch, on the outter case of which
was engraved "M. S.," was attached
to a chain of gold.
Heiress of Millionaire Murderer.
News from St. Louis confirmed the
Identification of the body as that ol
Miss Schrage. For 16 years she had
lived in the family of the murderer
Duestrow. The millionaire forced " his
wife against the wall of the parlor In
his Lafayette-avenue mansion, and
killed her and their infant child, which
she held in her arms.
Since that time the millions, potent
as they were, have failed to bring
peace to the minds of the heiress to the
slayer's wealth and her companion.
Both were victims of melancholia, it is
said by friends of the family. When
Duestrow paid the penalty for his
crime on the sallows. Miss Hulda was
given the entire estate. She shared it
with her companion, the woman whose
body was taken from the park lagoon.

COMMISSION NOT INFORMED
Chairman Knapp Discusses Probable
Course of Interstate Body.
' WASHINGTON", July 18. The Inter
state Commerce Commission has thus
far received do official information
confirming the proposed increase of
freight rates. If the rates made by
the railways are . made the subject of
complaint to the Commission, that
body, of course, would investigate
them. On its own initiative, the Com
mission probably would institute an in
quiry Into any - general increase to
ascertain whether the rates are rea
sonable and just, but any determina
tion of such an issue would not be
forecasted by the Commission itself.
Chairman Knapp, of the Commission,
in an interview today. Bald:
"Justification for an increase in
freight rates, if there is to be such an
Increase, may be found. If at all, only
in the fact that the increased cost or
operation and maintenance of railroads
has reached a point where reasonable
profit on money invested in them is not
possible from the revenue they now
receive.
"In determination whether rates are
reasonable, careful consideration . is
necessary of three factors that good
wages be paid railroad employes; that
present transportation facilities be
kept on a sufficient standard, and that
new facilities be provided to meet
every increase in demand for them."

out that -the property now occupied by
the Northern Pacific general offices was
sold to the railroad over 20 years ago

places the . value at $8. Mr. Watson
stated that he had used as a partial basis
for this appraisement of the value the
recent increase in value of adjacent
property.
Senator Durment said the state would
endeavor to show that the property be
longing, to the Rock Island Railroad on
the west side of the river had been pur
chased about six years ago for less than
$150,000, while the appraisal s?t the value
at between J900.000 and $1,000,000, which
he said was out of all proportion.

Government Will Establish N'ew Sta
tions In Alaska This Year.

Theer is probability that, after all,
wireless stations at Nome and Fort
Gibbons, Alaska, will be established
this year. The chief signal officer of
the Army is advised that the steamer
Ohio reaohed isome with her cargo in
good condition. The cargo includes
equipment for the wireless station at
Fort Gibbons. As the equipment for
the Nome station was damaged by the
Hooding of the hold of the boat in
which it was shipped, it was feared
that it would be impossible to install
the Nome station this season, but now
it is believed that the working Instru
ments can be got together to establish
the Nome station, andevery effort will
be made to do so.
The War Department is highly
pleased with the work done by the
wireless stations. It has just received
a report that the station on the Farral

GET SEATTLE CONTRACT.
Outbids Moran Bros, for Construc
tion of Flreboat to Cost
Over $120,000. -
SEATTLE. Wash., July 18. (Special.)
Until the bids have all been segregated
and tabulated it will not be definitely
known which firm submitted the best
bid for the building of Seattle's -new
fireboat. On the face of the returns,
however, the lowest bidders are the
Willamette Iron Works, of Portland. The
bids were opened today:
The Portland bid on the fireboat com
plete was $122,000. The only other bid
for the complete vessel was, that of the
Moran Company, at $163,000. ' The other
bids skubmitted. 12 in number, cover
pumps, hull and other separate items.
The firm which prepared the plans will
tabulate the bids and. report to the
Board of Public Works on Monday. The
award will be made on Tuesday. It is
believed that the Portland firm will win.
W. H. Corbett, president of the Wil
lamette Iron & Steel Works, said last
night that when the bids for the flre
boat were opened the bid of his com
pany was found to be $120,000 on one
set of specifications advertised and an
other of $130,000 for the completed
craft, with all the accessories possible
to figure out from a somewhat ambig
uous method employed . in indicating
what these were to be.
The next lowest bids were by the
Moran Company, of Seattle, which were
$163,000 and $183,00, respectively. The
boat, as bid for by the Willamette
Company, is to be 125 feet over all,

SWIMMING RACE IS FATAL
One Contestant Drowns and Five
Barely Escape.
CHICAGO, July 18. One contestant was
drowned, half a dozen were seized with
cramps and rescued with difficulty and
two spectators were thrown into the river
when a tug collided with their rowboat
during the first annual Marathon swim
of the Illinois Athletic Club In the Chicago
River today. The water proved far too
cold for the swimmers and only 17 of a
field of 60 or more managed to finish the
two-mile course. The list of accidents
follows:
A. G. Freeze, 66 years old, seized with
cramps and drowned near the Madison
street bridge In view of thousands of
spectators.
H. J. Handy, Chicago's premier swim
mer, seized with cramps at Rush street
and was hauled" aboard & tug in a semi
conscious state.
Jose Bassee, of Mexico City; Annie
Harris, of Chicago; J. H. Merrlman, of
Chicago: J. Stuart, of Beiievue, la., all
seized with cramps at various stages of
Chicago Men Winners.
The race was won by S. C. Jensen, of
the New Illinois A. C. His official time
was 44:41 2-5. Anton Jaeger and G. A.
Johnson, of the same club, were second
and third, respectively. None of the out-of-town
contestants scored.
Freeze sank when he was over two
thirds of the course. He . as the oldest
contestant in the event and is said to
have confessed to the younger swimmers
before the start that he had undergone
no special preparation for the race. He
has been noted as a distance swimmer
at the local beaches, but evidently found
the strain of a long race too great for
his advanced age.
Great Crowd Sees Race.
Fully 150,000 people watohed the race,
lining the banks and crowding the
bridges from the start at the life
saving station at the mouth of the river
to the Twelfth-street viaduct, on the
south branch of trie stream, where the
course ended. Although several men
plunged in to aid Freeze, he sank be
fore any of the rescuers could reach him.
Harold Christianson, a IVyear-old boy,
dived repeatedly for the body, but failed
to find it because of a strong under cur
rent which swept it down stream. The
body was recovered by police with grap
pling hooks several blocks from the
scene of the accident.
Handy had a narrow escape at Rush
street. He was in the lead by 100
yards, when he suddenly turned on his
back and called for aid. A launch hur
ried to him, but when he was taken
aboard he was so badly cramped that
his finger-nails had sunk into the flesh
of his hands and his eyeballs were
rolled far back. Medical 'assistance
was summoned for him, after he had
been placed aboard a fire tug.
Other Narrow Escapes.
The others who were stricken in the
cold water had less thrilling experi
ences. Miss Harris, the only woman
in the event, became exhausted just
after she crossed the finish line. A
line of rowboats blocked the stream
and she was unable to reach the bank.
She sank once, but was seized then by
one of several men who jumped into
the water. Bassee was stricken 30 feet
from the start. Stuart went to his
assistance, helped him reach the pier,
and plunged again, only to be over
come by the cold water a few blocks
further on.
FLOGS TWO LITTLE GIRLS
MATROX OF WEST OAKLAND IN
STITUTION IS ACCUSED.
Story Told by Runaway Children
Will Probably Lead to Investi
gation by Authorities.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 18. (Spe
cial.) Following the flight from Oak
land and the capture In this city of
-two little girls, inmates of the West
Oakland Home, and accusations of
cruel treatment made by the children,
it is probable ' that an investigation
will be ordered. The West Oakland
Home is one of the leading charitable
institutions on the other side of the
bay, and several of the most promi
nent club and society women of Ala
meda County are known as its patrons.
The accusations were made in the
Juvenile Detention Home here by the
two children, who brought from the
West Oakland Home the marks of pun
ishment more severe than ever had
been inflicted on an incorrigible boy.
The offense for which the punishment
was inflicted, according to the story
told by the girls, was stealing a brief
ride on a passing wagon. Before they
were carried away from the Detention
home last night by Mrs. Melissa Van
Wermer, matron of the West Oakland
Home, the children accused her of
having administered ' the flogging,
which had left welts and bruises all
over their bodies. The flogging, they
said, had been done with a long buggy
whip. Mrs. Van Wermer said:
"I do not care if the whole of Ala
meda County condemns it. I think I
was justified and would do it again."

Bryan Compares Teachers'
Salaries With Product of
Privilege.
TELLS DEMOCRACY'S AIM
Says Teachers Earn All They Get,
While Men Who Control Great
Industries Rob by Fixing
Arbitrary Prices.
F AIR VIEW, Lincoln, Neb., July 18.
Iteclaring- that society has not given to
the producer his equitable reward and
that the administration of the Govern
ment should be changed to remedy this
condition, William J. Bryan today, from
the lawn of his home, addressed several
hundred teachers and students of the
Fremont, Neb., Normal School. Mr.'
Bryan spoke in part:
It Is true that I have not been officially
notified yet of my nomination, but there are
certain things that have ben said that have
raised a suspicion in my mind that an an
nouncement la goins to be made soon that
will not be a great surprise to me. But I
am in a sort of intermediary state now and
it is ot proper for me to enter. Into any
extended discussion until this announcement
is officially made.
One of our complaints against present con
ditions is that the rewards of society are
not equitably distributed. Take, for Instance,
your occupation or profession. It is one
of the most important we have.
Keward of Teacher and Trust.
"Whether cur children are a comfort to us,
a pride to us. a source of helpfulness to ue,
depends very largely upon what the teacher
does, for the teacher more than any other
co-operates with the parent in the development
of the child. Now this is your work. It
could not be a more Important work, and
yet what is your remuneration? I am sure
I will not abuse any of you when I tell you
I think the teachevs of this country are
not overpr.id. I am sure you will not accuse
me of flattery when I say you earn all "
you get in the way f compensation.
Is'ow compare your compensation and your
work with the compensation and the work
of those who have secured privileges and
favoritism. Compare your work and your
reward with those, for instance, who have
secured control of some,, great industry and
who, by means of that control, are able to
reach their hands into the pockets of 80.000,
000 of people and by fixing arbitrarily the
price of that which they sell and which the
people must have are able to gather a re
ward larger than they earn.
Alms of Democratic Party.
The Democratic party is not expecting to
bring the millennium through a Democratic
administration. Those who represent that
party understand that governments are
administered by human hands and that all
things that man's bands touch do not attain
to perfection. We do not expect our Na
tion will be free from fault when It is in
trusted to the hands of those who call them
selves Democrats. But It is- the purpose of
those who are called Democrats to secure
a better adjustment of rewards' of service and
they believe this can be done by restoring
the Government to the ancient doctrines.
They believe it can be done by making ft
more responsive to the will of the people and,
if you will read that platform through, you
will. find that there are several reforms that
are aked for.
Our aim Is to adjust the rewards of society
to the people honestly and so that every one
will feel that there Is something to strive
for. The best way to make people strive Is
to assure them that their rewards will, be
proportionate to their endeavor, and we are
anxious that the American people shall have
the highest possible inspiration to great en
deavor. POISONS THREE GHIUDREM
BUFFALO WOMAN THEN' AT
TEMPTS TO KILL HERSELF.
Insane Mother Found Dying in Room
With Her Dead- Blames Her
Sister-in-Law.
BUFFALO, N. Y., July 18. Mrs. Isa
bella Sahlen fed poison to her three small
children today, then strangled each with
a handkerchief to make her work sure.
Later she sent to the grocery store for
more poison, which she took herself.
The three children were dead when their
mother was discovered and Mrs. Sahlen
was dying. Physicians did what they
could for her, but it Is thought she cannot
survive.
In a statement which Mrs. Sahlen
made to the police and the medical ex
aminer, she blamed her sister-in-law,
who she said caused her much domestic
unhappiness. When Sahlen was home
for his midday meal today his wife, he
says, said as he went out the door:
"If this keeps up this afternoon there
will be something happen here before
night."
Sahlen took his wife's remark light
ly and . went to work. He is a
teaipster. He did not learn of hls
wife's deed until night.
About 4 o'clock Mrs. Sahlen went out
Into her doorway and screamed to her
next door neighbor, Mrs. Brown, that
she had poisoned her three children and
herself. Mrs. Brown rushed Into the
Sahlen yard and Mrs. Sahlen met her
with a bread knife. The frantic mother
made a thrust at Mrs. Brown, who re
treated and called for help. Physi
cians and police found the three chil
dren dead and Mrs. Sahlen under the
effect of the poison.
Frank, the 15-months-old baby, was
dead in his go-cart in the dining-room,
with a handkerchief stuffed Into his
throat. Elizabeth, the S-year-old girl,
was evidently killed first, after which
Mrs. Sahlen took the 5-year-old boy
Charles out of bed and placed him on
the floor. Then she lay beside the
lad, gave htm the poison and strangled
him.
The crazed woman had no mora poi
son left, so she hailed her neighbor's

If you started out to
buy a suit of clothes
and were willing to pay
$40 for it, you would be
quite surprised, would
you not, to wander into
the Columbia Woolen
Mills Shop and be able
to pick out a $40 suit on
sale for $30? It's tho
truth, however. The
same thing is true of
every suit we have. No
matter what the origi
nal price was, and you
know they were all low
enough, the suit goes to
you, if you want it, for
just three-fourths what
it ought to sell for. And
Columbia prices have

more. Then she returned and put her
house In order while she waited. When
the boy returned she took the poison
and called her neighbor. '
The medical examiners say the chil
dren had died possibly an hour or
more before the mother herself took
the poison.

man's head had broken his neck, but
he soon recovered consciousness.
The strain had thrown Hinman's collar
bone and his shoulder blade out of place,
and the muscles of his right shoulder
were badly wrenched and torn. He will
recover, however, while if Donoghue had
released his grip he certainly would have
been, pounded to death.
