Grand Jury a few daya ago announced an Indictment In blank for perjury. Now It (a announced that the indictment waa against Mrs. Roaa La Bra ache Dauphtn. widow of Maximilian Dauphin, for manj years President of the Louiaiana State Lottery, and that It waa not made public In order to en able the District Attorney to get the necessary requisition papers from Goternor Heard and arrest Mrs. Daupbln. wbo is said to be 1U In or-near New York. The Indictment Is tbe rtcolt of one of tbe most bitter and sensational cases ever tried in Louisiana. Mrs. Daupbln. born Bosa La Brancbe. is of au old Creole family, and Is worth $500,000 or more Daupbln. wbo was President of tbe Louisiana Lottery Company. J1~l '? n? am mnnAifd to be ^IICM Ul 1UV4.

The estate was settled up. and the widow, as legatee, came into possession of the rest of the property, after the other heirs were paid. Eleven years after the settlement, among the effects of Judge Porebe, an ex-Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court, who bad been Mrs. Dauphin's lawyer in the probate case, an old and badly worn paper was found, giving a uk or a large number of bonds which apparently formed ? part of the Dauphin aatate, but which bad not figured in the Inventory. Mm Dauphiu was called on to explain. She failed to appear before a Louisiana court on the ground of Ul health and nervousness; but piece bj piece, the trouble, buried for eleven years, was brought to light, and from a single fossil bone the whole animal was reconstructed. Dsnphln had never possessed a bank sccount He kept his money and securities In a box in his room, and was u much wealthier man than many supposed. Prom that box his widow. It is charged, had stolen from the estate and secreted 9214.000 la gilt-cdgea securities mna wwu m cash. la order to cover up ber work abe sold the bonds, invested and reinvested the money la aew securities so that no trace could be found of it following the example of ber husband ia > keeptag no bank account, but having frequently $100,000 la cash with her. 8bc proved a good speculator and in- < creased her fortune. By diligent Investigation Judge Lazarus, counsel for the belrs. succeeded fn tracing every bond for more than twelve year* past la to Dapphin's bands, then into Mrs. Dauphin's possession, where they bad no right to be, and Anally to the present holders. The 1 case was so clearly proved that the ' court awarded Judgment against Mrs. Dauphin for $388,006, the entire amount. Her handsome home here was seised, only to find that she bad removed everything of value. The mat- , ter waa laid before the Grand Jury, and the result was an Indictment for perjury In the case, delivered before a commissioner in Mississippi.

The greater part of Texas, iu which State severe drought prevailed at the close of the previous week, has received abundant rainfall, and drought conditions in the middle Atlantic coast districts have also been largely relieved, but the Interior and middle Atlantic States.

Notwithstanding the prevalence of low temperatures throughout the corn belt and copious rainfalls in portions of the upper Mississippi Valley, the corn crop has taadc very satisfactory advancement toward maturity, and wholly escaped injury In tbe States eastward of the Mississippi River from frosts occurring on the 4th and 5tb. with but slight Injury In tbe States to the westward. Tbe bulk of tbe corn crop in Missouri and Knnsns and much of the early planted in Nebraska and the States of the Ohio Valley jre now safe.

Texas and a large part of the central and eastern districts of the cotton belt bare received .abundant rainfall during tbe week, but it is doubtful wbetber the beneficial effect* of these rains to late cotton will offset the inJury done to tbe open staple. Cotton has opened more rapidly than It could be picked. In portions of tbe central and eastern districts many fields are already nearly cleaned, and tbe reports generally indicate that the crop will be gathered much earlier than usual.

Baltimore, Md.?The wealth of John D. Rockefeller and the grief be felt over the death of bis little grandson. "Jack" McCortnlck, bare combined to lire to science one of the greatest discoveries since Koch,found the germ of tuberculosis. The germ which causes the disease commonly known as rammer complaint has been discovered and the first authoritative announcement la n6w made by Mr. Rockefeller's chosen agent. When little "Jack" died two years igo the multi-millionaire's heart was wrung with the most poignant grief. When he came back from the grave in the Dell near Tarrytown Mr. Rockefeller reflected as to how be might use some of his wealth to save other people's lored children from the maladj which had caused so many tiny mounds to rise In Innumerable graveyards. Leg* than a month after the death of the child Mr. Rockefeller had put the machinery of science into motion to liscover the cause of the disorders so Fatal to Infants. He announced a fund of $200,000 to be devoted to research and asked Dr. William h. Welch, of this c'.ty, one of the most distinguished pathologists In the world, to conduct the inquiry. Mr. Rockefeller declared thpt If the ram of money set aside should prove Insufficient he was prepared to make iny required addition. By authority of Dr. Welch at the Fohns Hopkins Hospital, the first announcement ia made that discovery sec 9Dd to none tnar nave neen maae id the last century. Is a fact. Now the great pathologist and bis corps of aides will bend tbeir energies to tbe discovery of tbe drug or serum which will destroy the germs they bare liscovered. Tbe investigation, which has been ?rowned with success, has been contacted throughout the summer at tbe laboratory of the Thomas Wilson Sanitarium for Children at Mount Wilson, In Baltimore County. Between 300 and 400 children suffering from Intestinal disorders are always to be found at this sanitarium luring the summer months. There Dr. Welch stationed two students, in whom he has taken great interest by reason of their Intelligent devotions to iacteriology and microscopy. One of them was Charles W. Duvall, >f Annapolis, Md.. who will gain bis legree at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School next year. Tbe ither was Victor H. Bassett. of Aledo, [11.. a student at tbe Johns Hopkins Kedlcal School. Their discovery Is announced as the first victory fcr the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Retearch. But Dr. Welch does not hesitate to give tbe young men full, credit for tbe actual finding of the specific organism. Mr. Bassett. who had devoted several rears to microscopy, has the honor of actually discovering the germ that Mr. Rockefeller seeks that he may destroy, ro Mr. Duval Is tbe credit due of isoating tbe organism.

WASHINGTON'S VIEW OP limit No Complications Are Feared mm th? M? rot Doctilos I* Not lanlrtd. Washli^jton. D. C.?No complications between this Government and Germany. In the opinion of such offlclala as could be seen here, will ensue from the sinking of the insurgent Haitian craft by the German gunboat Panther. The Monroe Doctrine is in no way In volved Id this incident Aj the insurrectionists whom Killick represented bare not obtained helliger ent right* from any nation and as th? port had not been blockaded, the Cretea-Pierrot bad no rlijbt, in the opinion of diplomats, to search the German craft for contraband of war. The impression seems to prevail that the German captain took the proper view of the situation when he looked on Klllick's vessel as a pirate and destroyed It for interfering with German commerce. This act, it is regarded here, was la no way an act of aggression on Ger? raany's part on Haiti or its Govern IllfUl, Iur, 1U lue mm |?uivv, mg |>IU<W tonal Government is not responsible for acts of the insurgents.

She was approacblng Cape Hnitinn with a cargo of arms and ammunition ror tne provisional Government when atv vai topped bj Admiral Killlok with tht gunboat Crete-a-Piprrot. He took tbe?? supplies and then allowed the ateamex to proceed. Tbla action aroused public sentiment In Germany. On Sunday morning th* Cologne Gaiette. in an inspired artlcla on tbe situation lu Haiti, said that the seizure of tbe tfitinirioos on tbe Markomannla waa piracy, and that when tbe Pantber arrlred on tbe acene It waiiM Im> nprpyci rv to make short work of tbe Haitian.
