EMBEZZLED TO
KEEP UP STYLE
J. Frank Challenger Confesses Steal
ing $10,600 From Trust Co.
LIVED BEYOND HIS MEANS
Chester, Pa., Jan. 9.?J. Frank Chal
lenger, secretary of the Delaware
County Trust company, was arrested
on the charge of embezzling the funds
of the Institution. An examination of
the books of the company showed a
shortage of $10,$u0.
When charged with the misuse of
the funds, Challenger confessed. He
said no person was to blame but him
self, and that his peculations were due
to the fact that he lived beyond his
Income.
Challenger's family is prominent In
Chester, and he had risen from the
position of office boy to one of trust.
The arrest of Challenger came as
a shock to a great many people in
this county, as he had a large circle
of friends and was a more than ordi
narily popular man. The discovery of
the shortage was made at the annual
balancing of the books at the first of
the year. At that time some of the
other clerks noted discrepancies, and
after satisfying themselves there was
something wrong notified the presi
dent, James A. O. Campbell.
Mr. Campbell Immediately Instituted
a most searching investigation, with
the result that it was shown that,
through a system of his own, Chal
lenger had been abstracting money.
Immediately every account in the bank
was scrutinized and balances taken in
every depaitment and all of the secur
ities of the institution and the collat
eral deposited were examined, with
the result that it was shown that
every other employe's account In the
Institution was correct and that Chal
lenger had operated entirely by him
self.
Confronted with the evidence, Chal
lenger admitted his wrong-doing, and
gave such assistance as be could in
clearing matters up. He said he had
boen a victim of his extravagant hab
its, but denied that he had speculated
with the stolen money.
Challenger had nothing to do with
the savings fund department of the
bank, and his peculations were from
the commercial department, his plan
being to destroy the deposit slips af
ter the deposits had been properly en
tered on the depositor's and the bank's
books, and manipulate the accounts to
avoid detection, although he did not
alter figures on the books of the bank.
Of course the records showed the
amount of customers' deposits, and
there would have been no loss to the
depositors, even had the shortage not
bean detected, the loss coming out of
what would otherwise have been the
profits of the bank.
Challenger was given a hearing be
fore Magistrate Smith, charged with
embezzlement and was held in $10,000
ball for court. In default of bail he was
taken to jail. He was under bonds for
more than twice the amount stolen
and the loss will fall upon his sureties.

some oranges were then cut open.
Finally the inspectors Interested them
selves In a small, compact-looking roll
of paper, and at their request Mr.
Roemaet opened It. The contents

SCORES WHITE HOUSE ATTACHES
Husband of Woman Ejected Gives Out
a Statement.
Washington, Jan. 9.?Dr. Minor Mor
" ris, whose wife was eje-^ed from the
White House last Thursday, gave out
a public statement in which he severely
arraigns those responsible for her re
moval, denounces the Imposition of a
fine in her case as adding to her hu
miliation, and replies to the statement
of her brother, Representative Hull, of
Iowa, regarding the will and codicil of
her father. The statement is addressed
"To whom it may concern," and begins
as follows:
"A woman of the highest culture, of
the rarest attainments, who has de
voted her life to her home, her family
and her ideals, whose only thought has
been to do good, and who has always
considered others before herself, a wife
and mother, has been seized from be
hind. in the waiting room of the White
House, and maltreated with a brutality
which humanity would revolt at seeing
accorded to its lowest type. The details
of this sickening thing, unnamable, ars
known to the whole country."
Dr. Morris alleges that an effort waa
made to bold Mrs. Morris at the house
of detention until his arrival two days
later, to make "It appear that she was
friendless and insane." He says that
the physicians sent to examine hsr
manifested their indignation,, and that
as "It became dangerous to press the
Insane charge, she stands today record
ed as the disturber of the peace to khe
extent of five dollars,"
HAZING DEFINED
Nival Court Saya Any Kind of Annoy
ance or Maltreatment Is Hazing.
Annapolis, Md? Jan. 10. ? Several
legal questions of importance arose
during the trial of Midshipman Ste
phen Decatur on charges of hazing
before the court martial in session at
the naval academy. On a motion to
strike out certain specifications as not
constituting hazing, the court was led
to substantially define the term hazing
as it Is understood by the members of
the court.
In denying the motion to strike out
the first two specifications the court
ruled that maltreatment of a fourth
j classman by the infliction of direct
j physical cruelty was not the only kind
of hazing, but that any annoyance or
molestation, such as the requirement
of menial services, making ridiculous
j and such like were also hazing.
This ruling is expected to lead to
many more convictions.

CAN THEY MAKE
ROGERS ANSWER?
Oil Magnate Ordered Before New
York Supreme Court.
MAY BE BELD IN CONTEMPT
New York, Jan. 10.?The question
whether Henry H. Rogers can be com
pelled to tell Attorney General Herbert
S. Hadley, of Missouri, whether the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
owns or controls three oil companies
which are selling oil In Missouri as
separate companies will be placed be
fore the supreme court of New York
state. All the Important questions
which Mr. Rogers has declined to an
swer by advice of counsel In the last
three days of the hearing in this city
were presented to the supreme oourt
by counsel acting in behalf of Attorney
General Hadley, and the court was
asked to order Mr. Rogers to show
cause why he should not answer them.
The oourt issued the order, and it was
served on William V. Rowe, oounsel
for Mr. Rogers.
The questions are in a diversity of
form, but In substance they all are:
"Does the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, either through itself or
any other person or corporation, own,
hold or control a majority of the stock
of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company of
Missouri, the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana and the Republic Oil Company
of New York?" No matter in what
form the question has been put, Mr.
Rogers has declined to answer it. The
commissioner before whom the evi
dence is being taken is without power
to compel an answer, but the supreme
court possesses the authority to order
Mr. Rogers to be punished for con
tempt of court if he declines to answer
after being ordered to do so by that
court.
Mr. Hadley wants this information to
show that the three alleged subsidiary
or confederated companies are monopo
lizing the oil trade of Missouri in com
bination, and to induce the Missouri
courts to order them ousted from that
state.
An interesting feature of the hearing
was an invitation sent by Mr. Hadley
to Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, re
questing him to come to New York and
testify, if he can give any information,
as to the three companies Mr. Hadley
is trying to drive out of Missouri.
The subpoena server who has been
trying for several days to summon H.
Clay Pierce to testify before the com
missioner in this case, notified Mr.
Hadley that he has been unable to get
Mr. Pierce, who, he said, had sailed
away on a steam yacht. Mr. Pierce is
chairman of the board of directors of
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company of
Missouri and father of the president of
that company. The subpoena server
said that he had pursued Mr. Pierce ard
his valet through a suite of rooms in
the hotel occupied by Mr. Pierce, but
that the oil man had locked himself in
his chamber. The server then desisted.

17 DEAD IN LANDSLIDE
Thirteen Houses Topple Into Clay Pit
at Haverstraw, N. Y.
Haverstraw, N. Y? Jan. 10.?Seven
teen persons are missing ami are be
lieved to have gone to their death
when 13 houses on Rockland street
In Haverstraw toppled over into a pit
00 feet deep which had been cut by
clay diggers in connection with the
brickmaking industry here. Twelve
of the persons missing were occupants
of the fallen houses; five were among
the rescuers who went to the aid of
neighbors after the first house fell,
and were carried down when the 12
other houses went crashing over the
precipice. The wreckage quickly
caught fire, and those who were in
the mass were either crushed or
burned to death.
When the breakage occurred In the
long line of land which formed the
ragged edge of Rockland street, one
house toppled over into the pit with
all who were living within its walls.
The other occupants of the houses
prepared to leave their homes In the
face of a blinding snow storm. A
number of people who lived nearby
rushed to their aid and were assisting
them In getting them out when 12
more houses went down, carrying with
them not only the families who occu
pied them, but also several of those
who had gone to their assistance.
Overturned stoves set fire to the
buildings, and firemen came from
miles around, but when the landslide
occurred It broke the water main, thus
cutting off the entire supply.

URGES MORE REFORMS
Governor Pennypacker Issues Addi
tional Call For Legislature.
Harri6burg, Pa., Jan. 10.?Governor
Pennypacker issued a supplementary
proclamation to his call for the extra
session of the Pennsylvania legislature,
which convenes next Monday, so as to
include a uniform primary election
system, a civil service for state offices
and the regulation of campaign ex
penses.
He also amends his original bill so
as to enable the legislature to pass a
bill for the consolidation of the cities
of Pittsburg and Allegheny, eminent
lawyers having contended that it was
impossible to pass such a bill under his
original proclamation.
The governor's supplementary call
was a great surprise to his'ofllcial ad
visers, none of whom thought he would
make any change In his original" call,
despite the pressure for a uniform pri
mary election system and a new ballot
law.
All of the subjects mentioned In the
supplementary call will be considered
at the coming extra session and will
naturally prolong the session.
Among the subjects mentioned in the
original call are personal registration,
state treasury reform and senatorial
and legislative reapportionment.

KILLED HIMSELF
Man Found Dead in Bed at New
Haven, Conn., a Suicide.
HE USED BULLET AND POISON
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 9.?Suicide
by means of both bullet and poison Is
?he explanation given by Coroner Eli
Mix of the death of Charles A. Ed
wards, of New York city, at the Abi
gail Hiller homestead. This finding Is
contained In a preliminary report to
State Attorney Williams, and is based
In part by the discovery of morphine
| in the body of Mr. Edwards by Medi
cal Examiner Bartlett and the sur
geons who performed the autopsy. The
finding is supported by some portions
of the evidence taken at the inquest,
which extended through five days and
which is not yet completed.
The preliminary report is made at
i this time to relieve the public sus
| pense, and Coroner Mix adds that Mr.
Edwards' death probably was one of
the most remarkable on record. The
tkeory of suicide, however, appears
BOt to have been held by the coroner
until Saturday, when detectives un
earthed in the shrubbery near the
Hiller house a 22-calibre revolver and
a half-pint bottle containing a quantity
of laudanum. Until that time, and in
j the absence of a report on the chem
j leal analysis of the viscera the weight
of evidence taken by Mr. Mix was
' that Mr. Edwards had been murdered.
The first action taken by Coroner
Mix after reaching a conclusion in the
case was to order the release from sur
| veillanee of A. Maxcy Hiller, brother
in-law of Mr. Edwards, who on Thurs
day evening last was placed in charge
of a police officer.
The coroner's brief report does not
dispel the mystery In the death of Mr.
Edwards, and until the complete find
ing is ready, probably no public solu
tion can be found as to why Mr. Ed
wards, as Coroner Mix describes his
actions, "at 2 o'clock on Wednesday
morning last, clad in his underclothes,
left his chamber and descended to the
basement, lighted the gas. unbolted
and opened the rear door, twice dis
charged a revolver at himself, one bul
let going into the ear; then, failing to
kill himself, threw the weapon away,
drank laudanum and tossed the bottle
after the pistol, and with blood flowing
from a wound in the head, dragged
himself back to his chamber, got into
bed. drew the bedclothes over his
shoulders, and after placing a hand
kerchief under his head to staunch
the flow of blood, lapsed into uncon
sciousness, death coming six hours
later."
In discussing some of the facts ob
tained on which the suicide theory was
confirmed. Coroner Mix says that one
bullet went wild, being imbedded in
the door, while the ctlmr ma-la the ]
wound.
The hand rail on the stairs and the
wall show bloody hand marks as if
Edwards had first put his hand to the
wound, smearing it with blood, before
starting upstairs. That Edwards had
partially disrobed before going down
stairs is shown by the care taken in
folding his outer garments. Besides,
according to Charles Hiller, he retired
about midnight. The time of the shoot
ing Is fixed by a maid servant next door
and by the watchman at the tlraduates'
Club In the rear, both of whom hea: d
two pistol shots at 2 o'clock. Charles
Hiller slept through this noise.
