H a rin g Represented H im se lf Wealthy M an S e e k in g “ S u c k e r s.” Chicago, Aug. 17. — Absolute proof that Henry Hering, cashier of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State bank, was financial backer of a bookmaking syndicate which laid odds on horse races, was brought to light late today, when Inspector Shippy found a check made payable to Harry M. Smith, who for years ran the Buffet at 56 South 8tate street, and whose place was closed this spring, because of running a hand book, that handbook being none other than that run by the syndicate headed by Hering, but whose name never ap peared as connected with it until to day. Other men in the syndicate were Charles Francis, Thomas Rowe, Walter Frantzen, Harry Thorpe and Henry Troy. A ll these men were interviewed by the inspector and all admitted that they were connected with the book, but denied that they knew Hering was con nected with any bank, and said that he represented that he was a wealthy man, and that he wanted to increase his wealth by separating “ a few suck ers from their loose change.” BU YS S T . P A U L S Y S T E M . Harriman Secures Railroad by Jam es J. Hill. C oveted New York, Aug. 17.— I t can be au th oritatively stated that control of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail road has passed into the hauds of E. H . Harriman, via the Southern Pacific Railroad company, which is controlled by the Union Pacific Railroad com pany, the main Harriman concern. A rumor to the effect that Harriman sought to own the St. Paul property has been heard on various occasions of late, but not until today could it be learned from a competent authority that there was good foundation for the report. As a railroad deal this purchase of the St. Paul by Harriman is more re markable than the coup by which he recured the Illin ois Central control nearly a year ago. Harriman had for years been an important factor in the Illin ois Central management, but until now he has never been mentioned in connection with St. Paul. The present deal is also interesting from the fact that in 1900 James J . H ill, Harrim an’ s arch enemy in the railroad arena, made strenuous efforts to purchase the St. Paul, but was re fused control by the same Standard O il interests which with willingness turned the propertv over to Harriman. PEO PLE G ROW C A LLO U S. Eye Witness D escribes W arsaw A fte r Outbreak o f T errorists. London, Aug. 17. — Tne Tribune’ s Warsaw correspondent telegraphs a de scription of the scenes witnessed by him after the disturbances Wednesday. ‘ ‘ The hospital surgeons, fatigued by their labors,” he says, ‘ ‘ were unable to attend to cases, and wounds regarded as fatal were left to take their course. ‘ ‘ The scenes in the morgues were horrible. In one I counted 32 civilian bodies, all dirty and dressed as they fell. “ The people have grown callous with too much death. I heard a young g irl laugh heartily at tbe sight of a woman whose brain-pan had been torn off by a bomb. “ In one hospital I saw a youth who, hen bayoneted yesterday, feigned death. The soldiers trod over him and their heavy boots crushed his fingers to a pulp, but be successfully stood the ordeal. He was carried to the morgue, when it was discovered he was alive. H e is now progressing favorably. “ Last night resulted in an orgie of blood in tbe Jewish quarter. The num ber of persons clubbed or bayoneted ex ceeds three hundred. “ The morgues are crowded with dead. The bodies were arrayed io rows, the clothes dirty with the filtn of the streets where they fe ll. No effort was made to do more than pile tbe corpses in morgues, and very little has been done towards indentifying them. Relatives and friends of those who lost their livee are fearful of brutal treatment at the hands of tbe authorities if they vis it the morgues.” N egro Hard to Kill. Hattiesburg, Miss., Aug. 17.— W ith one bull“ t through his heart and anoth er through hie temple, entering on one side of the bead and comiDg out at the other, Charles W illiam s, an eg ro o f this city, has survived for three days, and the prospects are that he w ill eventual ly recover.

So long ?s he retained consciousness he thought he was gaining In health and he planned on celebrating his birthday anniversary as usual. Death came quietly after a period o f coma and was solely due to his accumulated years. W ith the death o f “ Uncle Russell” Sage there passed away the greatest private money lender In the world, a man who fo r many years has had from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 In cold cash constantly lent out at good Interest, most o f It on call loans.

It had been -thought that his death would create a panic on W all street, owing to the money he had loan ed, but he considerately had made pro vision that in case o f his death there should be no sudden call for the loans. Russell Sage started out as a poor boy controlled by a dread o f the pov erty which he saw all about him and letem ilned that he would become a rich man. Debt was a thing he abhorred, a weakness which he knew was the curse of men who otherwise would have been successful and happy.
