After making a written confession u
of his guilt, in which he admitted tc
marrying Miss Florence E. Bauer, of
Cleveland. Ohio, despite the fact that tl
ho has a wife and three children in a1
"Winnebago. Parker became morose ni
and despondent. He refused to see b
any visitors and late in the night Cl
complained of a severe headache. ^
A messenger was sent for headache tl
tablets. Shortly after receiving the jE
tablets, Parker swallowed the entire ]0
25 grains. One of the turnkeys heard iE
signs of distress from Parker's cell ai
and discovered his condition. Physi- pcians
were at once summoned and g1
succeeded in reviving the banker. tc
When he became conscious Parker
begged the physiciatis to save his ta
life. pj

Cameron Girl Disappears.
Chicago, Nov. 30.?:Lucile Cam- as
eron, former white sweetheart of cc
Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, has disappeared.
Her mother, Mrs. F. Cam- ai
eron-Falconnet, into whose custody cc
she was given by the federal court, ja
returned last night to her' home in se
Minneapolis. D
The association of the white girl
with the negro pugilist was the cause pi
of charges of violation of the Mann ai
white slave act being made against p(
Johnson. In the early stages of the g(
prosecution, the Cameron girl was regarded
as a most important witness pi
for the government. Later charges cc
were made against Johnson and the j
girl's testimony was valued less high- T
ly by the prosecutors. For several g(
weeks Miss Cameron was detained as
a witness in the jail at Rockford, 111., ^
where her mother insisted on staying. re
The girl is believed to be hiding in
Chicago. She disappeared Wednesday g{;
night from a downtown hotel where tl]
she was living with her mother pending
arrangements to leave the city.
The department of justice will ]
make an investigation to learn whether
Johnson or any of his friends have IS
hidden the girl.
"I am through," Mrs. Falconnet
said before she left. "I have fought
and fought to save Lucile. I would so
have given my life to free her from 0(
that terrible career upon which she co
had started when I intervened." D<

Investigation Follows Burning of
Tobacco Worth $20,000. *e
en
Bainbridge, Ga., Nov. 28.?Investi- r
gation was instituted here to-day at ?
pr
a meeting of several prominent tobacco
growers of the burning of $20,- j
000 worth of tobacco in Decatur county
last Tuesday by night riders. Three _
p r
large barns were totally destroyed by

lire ILL uie vjrcuigia
barns were consumed by fire across ,
Uc
the Florida State line, twenty miles ^
distant. The loss sustained in the ^
latter.State is not known. T(
All of the tobacco barns destroyed
were owned by members of an association
formed three years ago by
y /
large growers to hold the tobacco until
a suitable price was offered for it jj,
by manufacturers.
At the meeting to-day it was said
that the tobacco growers hostile to the H
association were responsible for the H
alleged incendiary fires. At the time te
the barns were destroyed watchmen fr
were stationed in their vicinity. Since
the fires, it is stated, none of the le
watchmen has been seen. a
Evidence showing that all of the w
barns were destroyed by a mounted k]
body of night riders is said to have b(
been found and detectives now are fc
working on the case. All tobacco ol
barns in this vicinity are being heavily
guarded. si

engaged H. E. Gooding, a pubaccountant,
to check over the
)ks of the bank. .
Some irregularities were found,
ong them being, it is alleged, the '
tifying by Simons of his personal
;ck for $501, when he had no
ids on deposit to his credit. It :
s on this charge that a warrant
s sworn out before Magistrate
lies H. Fowles.
President's Statement.
Simons was arrested in Hamilton,
by Inspector of Police Dearmand,
that place. Simons waived extraion
and consented to come to CoLibia,
where he arrived this afterin
in charge of Dearmand. He
tes- that after remaining in Jacktville
a few days he went direct to
icinnati, where he obtained work
a salesman for a truss. It was
ile exhibiting this appliance in
milton, about five miles from Cinnati,
that he was recognized and*
ested. So far as known. Simons
; not secured counsel, and no date the
preliminary examination has
'n set.
Waived Extradition,
dr. Harry Cantey, treasurer of the
diland Savings Bank and Trust
npany, was seen to-night and ask
for a statement in regard to tne
tter. He said that so far as the
ountant has been able to find,
alleged shortage of Simons is apently
about $7,000. He is bondin
the Massachusetts Bonding and 1
urance Company, of Boston. This i
id, together with some securities S
t the bank has been able to get
session of, will cover a large part ]
the alleged shortage, so that the
s to the bank, if any, will probably
small.
'The integrity of the bank is not
jcted and business is being con- *
;ted as usual," said Mr. Cantey.
Came from New York.
Simons came to Columbia several
,rs ago from New York and has j
n connected with the bank since t
