KILLED HIS WIFE.
Tragedy of a Kansas Farm Life.
Husband in Jail.
Kansas City, Mo., June 2. W. H.
Klensmire, whose wife was yesterday
found murdered near his home, at Hol
ton, Kans., buried in a shallow trench,
was arrested in Kansas City, Kan3.,
today. Marks on the body, which is
is believed to have been buried since
May 19, indicated that her skull had
been crushed with a club, and supicion
was directed against the husband, who
disappeared on that date.
Klensmire made the following state
ment: 'My wife and I disagreed frequent
ly, but I usually let her have her way.
Just before her death she was very
angry because, I wanted to sell some
land to which she had signed a deed.
She said she would leave me. But I did
not want people to know she had left
me, and told her to say she was going
away on a visit. We had a few words
on Sunday (May 12) about it. She went
away and later I saw her body hang
ing from a rope- in the barn.
"I took her b6dy down, but was
afraid of the disgrace and hid it in the
straw. The , next day I buried it. I
told the children she had gone to Texas
and the telegram I had sent saying
that she was dead was intended to keep
thin from knowing she had killed her
self." All this was got out of Klensmire
in short, hesitating sentences. Asked
about the circumstances of his wife's
crushed skull he said:
"Maybe the dirt falling on it mash
ed it in. I wouldn't strike her."
There was not more than two feet of
dirt over the body when it was found.
Klensmire is a German farmer, forty
eight years old and uneducated. He
talks with hesitation, and appears dull
of mind. The possibility that he would
be tried for mtifder seemed secondary
to' the disgrace that would result from
the publicity' of the affair. Klensmire
was bortf hear Holtonand has always
lived in ttiat vicinity. liis mother and
several brothers and sisters live there
and are prosperousSandespected.

SUNDAY GOLFERS ARRESTED.
IONKERS CLERGYMEN PUT A STOP
TO THE SUNDAY GAME.
A Prominent Golfer Arrested While Play
ing: Wit? Ladies, But tn Ladles are Not
Disturbed An Old Alan Calls in Question
Which Day of the Week Is the Real Sab
bath. Yonkers, N. Y., June 2. Benjamin
Adams, a member of the Board of Ed
ucation of this city, was arrected here
today for playing golf at the Saegkill
Golf Club links on North Broadway.
He was accompanied to the links by
Walter W. Hodgman, secretary of the
Otis Elevator works, who, however,
was not arrested, but went to the po
lice headquarters with. Mr. Adams to
bail him out. The latter was released
on bail to appear before the police
Magistrate tomorow morning. At about
the same time that the police were ar
resting Mr. Adams Mr. John C. Have
in eyer was preaching from the pulpit
of the Central Methodist church of this
city denouncing the practice of descrat
ing Sunday with games and by work
ing. He was vigorously denounced by
an old man in the audience, who stated
that he had come from New York to
answer Mr. Havemeyer, as the million
aire had been advertised to speak from
the pulpit.
The arrest of Mr. Adams is the re
sult of the petition presented to the
Police Commissioners by a number of
Yonkers clergymen protesting against
the Sunday baseball playing in Yonk
ers and demanding that the police en
force the law impartially and said that
golf playing must be included in the
prohibited sports. When this announce
ment was made it raised a storm of in
dignation among the ball and golf play
ers and a number of the latter served
notice on their pastors that they would
sever their connection with their
churches unless the ministers disavow
ed their signatures to the petltiton.
The result of this was that two of the
ministers wrote - to tite Alcaii vpapers
and stated that they .had only signed to
the petition at the request of a fellow
minister and did not even know where-
the ball grounds were situated. Last
Sunday the ball- players went out of
town to play, but the golf players post
ed lookouts to watch for the police. In
this way they managed to successfully
delude the police. Today they were not
so successful, Detectives Welsh and
Robinson surprising Mr. Adams in the
act of playing.
The case will be taken to the high
est courts in the event of a convic
tion. Mr. Adams will be defended by
J. Livingston Morse of the Palisade
Commission, who is a resident of this
city. The arrest of Mr. Adams was
made while he was at play with a num
ber of women members of the club.
They, however, were not subjected to
the ignominy of a ride in the patrol
wagon as was Mr. Adams. The names
of the women are all withheld by the
club members.
As a result of the agitation here
John C. Havemeyer of the multi- mil
lionaire family of sugar kings today
occupied the pulpit in the Central Me
thodist church to discourse on the "De
secration of the Sabbath." Mr. Have
meyer took the ground that not only
were Sunday sports a violation of law
and order, but also all forms of Sun
day labor. He made the statement that
the people should not patronize trol
ley or steam railroads on Sunday be
cause it tended to encourage corpora
tions to keep their men working on Sun
day, thus violating the Fourth Com
mandment, .The speaker made an earnest address
and he was eagerly followed by a con
gregation of many of the most promi
nent citizens of the city. At the end of
his address . Mr. Havemeyer asked if
any one present desired any informa
tion on any point that he had not ful
ly covered. A venerable looking man
arose and said: .
"My good sir, will you tell me by
what authority you call the first day;
of the week the Sababth when the
Scriptures tell us that the Sabbath
was on the seventh day?"
Mr. Havemeyer made answer, buSE
hardly had he completed when the
'aged man was on his feet in reply. ;
tWhere can you refer me ito, anyj.
book or paper that will proved youjr ag
serll6ns,0he asked. "I challenge yu
to produce them and know that. ydu
cannot. In the name of God Almighty
and Jesus Christ I call upon you to
repent of your sins and stop desecrat
ing the real Sabbath."
Mr. Havemeyer cut his questioner
short by refusing to discuss the ques
tion further.
After the services a number of per
sons crowded about the elderly man as
he was making his egress from the
church. He would not reveal his iden
tity and when questioned about him
self simply sald:v
"I do not belong in Yonkers, but I
came here today to disprove the" as
sertions of this wealthy man."
Comment was made by the congre
gation on i:he fact that Mr. Have
meyer had hired a stenographer to be
present at the church and take steno
graphic notes of his address. Type
written copies were to be made for
him today. Surprise was also caused
by the appearance at the church door
of Mr. Havemeyer's coach with the
hired coachman on the driver's seat.
A SQUANDERED ESTATE.
An Incident Illustrating the
Enormous Cost of Litigation
in New York.
Chicago Tribune.
Samuel Wood, a Long Island million
aire, who died several years ago, pro
vided in his will for the establishment
of a college of music in New York
City, and set aside over half a million
dollars for that purpose, his idea being
that in a few years the fund would
increase so as to give the people one
of the finest colleges of that kind in
this country- There was much talk at
the time about the generosity and pub
lic spirit of the donor and the great
good his benefaction would confer upon
musical students. Then the talk died
away.
Many years have gone by and at
Last some curious person, remember
ing the provision of this will and won
dering whether the fund was not big
enough by this time to be applied to
the purpose contemplated, has made
some Inquiry about it, with the result
of discovering that i)rx51o1igeornngattOTr-F
over the ete-haa eaten up the pro-
nr- nA ZW is- n.iJEtehzteT' Handy Dictionary . 15r
the musical college will ever be found
ed. The money which should have been
used for it is in the pockets of the
lawyers.
Commenting upon this incident, the
New York Tribune says : "At some time
in the future the poeple of ; this tate
may perhaps demand that the Legisla,
ture shall take some action 6 dimin
ish the excessive cost of legal proceed
ings in disputes over wills and- esta
tes." But why sould there be legal
proceding3 at all? If Samuel Wood,
instead of waiting until he died and
was no longer here to look after the
business had given the money for the
college while he was living, it would
have been built and have benefited
the publis. Now the only beneflcarie3
are a lot of lawyers. He is not the first
who has made this mistake. It is
strange that so many wealthy persons,
instead of giving their money while
living, like Carnegie, Rockefeller, Mor
gan and Pearsons, and loooking after
its application, take the risk of defeat
ing the project they have set their
hearts on by exposing it to the greed
of lawyers. It is not sensible or business-like.
