Indianapolis Police Were on Murder

Committed.—Had Worked Similar
Trick on Merchants of Other
Cities. ^
Convincod that the young man who
"Monday brutally murdered and rob
bed Joseph Schlansky, a clothing
merchant, in a hotel at Indianapolis,
is the person who has committed sim
ilar crimes in several Eastern and
Middle Western cities, the police de
partment of Indianapolis Tuesday
night asked officers in every large
city east of the Mississippi river to
watch for the slayer. They believe
the murderer is Joseph Ellis, about
twenty-one years old, of Richmond,
Va. Investigation of the murder of
Pchlanssy showed that it had been
coolly planned and the escape so cun-
ningly carried out as to throw off
ba-pi' ion t> mporarily.

SPEAKER OF HOI 8E SAYS GUN

presence of gunmen In the hall of the
Tennessee Hcuise of Representatives,
were made on the floor of the House

trouble at one time looked certain
after the speaker’s charges. Several
inflamatory speeches were made. At
the afternoon session Tuesday a mo
tion to investigate the speaker’s
charges and to bring George C. Ren
fro, superintendent of the capitol, be
fore the House was voted down.
Speaker Stanton, after charging
that scurrilous articled had appeared
in newspapers threatening to unseat
him and that threats and efforts of
intimidation had come to him for the
past several days, said: “There are
two suit cases of guns now in the of
fice of the superintendent of the capi
tol sent there by friends of Gov.
Hooper, and even this will not intimi
date or scare mo. 1 am speaker of
this House and propose to remain so
to the end. I do not propose to be
'ntimidated by Gov. Hooper or his
gunmen and their everts to force m ( .

The responsibility of averting a fu

will lie most serious. Among the
remedies suggested by the speakers
were:
Every small farmer should raise at

the decreased production of the great
ranches of the West.

When the senate on Monday remain

that action on the South Carolina

there was some surprise here that
nothing was done. Nothing of a de

His Two Sons, Three Daughters, sad
Widow Share Wealth—Married
Daughters Get little.
The will of William J. Gaynor, lata
mayor of New York, as Hied Wednes
day at New York, leaves to the widow
his Brooklyn residence and 600
shares of Royal Baking Powder Com
pany stock. The remainder, with the
exception of minor bequests of the
estate, is divided, two-sevenths to
each of two sons and one-seventh to
each of three unmarried daughters.
The value of the estate la estimated
at $2,<500,000.
The two married daughers, Mrs.
Harry Vlngut and Mrs. William Se
ward Webb Jr. received $1,000. The
share of Rufus Gaynor, a son, who
was with the late mayor when he died
aboard the steamer Baltic, is placed
In the hands of the trustees, who are
instructed to pay him the income un
til he is thirty years old and then to
surrender the,principal if they judge
him capable of handling it wisely.
In a codicil Mayor Gaynor describes
Rufus as “a good boy always, with
out bad habits, but, It may be, too
easy, and liable to let go of what he
lias, not knowing how hard it is to
accumulate property.” The will di
rects tlie trustees to end their trust
for Rufus “provided they are satis
fied from tils past life and business

TOAST WITH WATER.
Drunk to President Wilson and Presi
dent Poincare.
A toast to President Wilson and
President Poincare and the tradition
al friendship between France and the
United States was drunk in water
Monday night by Secretary Bryan
and the visiting French commission
selecting a site at the Panama-Pacific
fair. The news leaked out when MaJ.
J. J. Dickinson, who was host, made
a positive denial of a published story
that Mr. Bryan had not drunk when
the champagne glasses were raised
for the toast, and that the French
visitors were offended. MaJ. Dick
inson explained there was no cham
pagne at the dinner, merely an old
fashioned cocktail, which the French
men had expressed a curiosity to
taste, and that as Mr. Bryan proposed
the toast near the end of the dinner
it was drunk with water.
