Nov. 27.?With out a cent of the $10.000 he Is charg? ed with having stolen from the bank In Lake City, S. C. In which he was asilstant cashier. Donlel E. Motley, a younK Southerner, of refined ap? pearance, was arrested today on a farm In Salem County. N. J., and held try Justice Garrison without ball to await requisition papers from his home town. He freely admitted to Detective Smith that he had taken at 110,000, but a flying trip to Eu? rope and a few girls In Nova Scotia quickly used up the money. Although Motley first denied his Identity, he noon broke down and admitted that he wa# the man wanted. "I was assistant cashier In the Lake City National Bank." he said, ?and waa mixed up in a big real es? tate deal. We had a surplus of 120. ?ee. and one night I took just half o) this. InUnding to return It Then I saw thic .was Impossible and slipped out I wes^t to Nova Scotia, where I apent much money and then to Eu? rope. I was losing lots of coin all the time, and I wanted to come back to this country. I was getting home nek, and I didn't care much what happened to me. I waa walking around Southampton one day by the docke when one of the big liners came In. I thought I'd take a chance and come back. I meant to go to jail, but I guess I lost my nerve and trl?d to hide. But I'm glad now that I'm caught. It's harder to keep on the watch for police and be afraid of every man than to take your med? icine." COTTON HUE AT GREENVILLE. From aoo to l.eoo Bales Burned or Scorched.

At the finish of the medical Investigation Dr. O'Hanlon said that in all the !?,000 autopsies he had performed In his medical career he never had encountered anything remotely re? sembling the "veritable museum" dis? played in Fult's intestines. The man's kidneys had been practically non-existent since his birth, the phy ulclan sai.d. and his heart for at least fifteen years had been eaten away by a cancer so rare that Dr. O'Hanlon looked through four sur? gical treatises before finding one with ?!ven a brief mention of the disease, t'ult also was minus one arm, and yet with all these things his death was due to old age. "It Is a source of amazement and a complete mystery to me," said the coroner's physician, after turning In his report to Coroner Harburger, "how this old man could possibly have lived so long as he did. Con? genital cysts ef the kidneys, the tis? sue of which was practically all de? stroyed, and which were five times their normal size, were alone enough to have killed him several times over.

His earnings were bare ly sufficient to keep a roof over hi old, disease-racked body.

C, Nov. ?9.?In these few days before the beginning of the first regular session of Con? gress of President Taft's administra? tion there is considerable wild talk of disagreement between this adminis? tration aad the preceding one. There la no historical fact better fixed 'n the minds of the people than that President Tai't was elected on a plat- j form to carry out the Roosevelt pol? icies. That the people of the country and the press are jealously and crit? ically watchful that this contract shall be lived up to Is known by ev? eryone Interested In public affairs. There is no evidence that there is any real disagreement between tjjsa ex President in Africa and the President In America. There is. of course, a sjreat deal of talk by men and writ? ing by journalists, famous or notor? ious as the oase may be, but there has not yet come to surface evidence i of divergence in policy or in aUn. The Plnchot- Balllnger episode . Is course, cdnsiifclous but there Is son to believe that President Taft is sincerely determined to push the . pol? icy of forest preservatidn and to ae bure for the benefit of the whole people the unappropriated mineral ?4fd water resources of the country.

JoumaUsm lb America is nothing if not sensational. Senationallem is its dittlngnishing| characteristic over the Journalism of the older countries and if Is not un? natural that Mr. Wattereon, of the WBlHHWoewspsjH from a tour in Europe, should, *on landing predict and wager that Taft and Roosevelt will be at dagger's Boint by the time of Mr. Roosevelt's eturn In February. Possibly, the Kentucky editor may win his wager, tranger things have happened in the happiest of poltical fa*nilles but. Hat present, the poltical pond in calm |er than It looks. The sugar frauds prosecutions hlch are being vigorously pushed y the present administration are eally nothing new. It may be said hat they were begun in 1904, for at that time Richard Parr received an appointment by the then President oosevelt on the recommendation of Mr. Lioeb, then the President's secre? tary and he was sent to New York and installed in the custom house for the express purpose of detecting the sugar weighing frauds which he, Parr, five years ago suspected. There as since been a change of adminis? tration but the sugar weighing frauds have been under constant surveil? lance and suspicion and the recent xposures are nothing more than the ulmlnatlon of the Investigations long llently pursued. The United States government through the department of justice is arefully watching the development of the Western Union Telegraph Com? pany and the American Telephone trust combination and the country will, doubtless, hear further during the coming congressional session of the plans of the government for con? trolling not only the railroads of the country but also of the telegraphic and telephonic wires. They all are interstate common carriers, whether of freight or of Intelligence, and it is quite as necessary that the Na? tion control these for the universal benefit of all the people as that It should control and direct the malls. There Is no socialism in this. It Is simply broad Nationalism such as is practiced advantageously both for the State and for the people in the more experienced and settled governments of the Old World. The people of Am? erica are entitled to what the people of other countries enjoy?the ability to send message* at a minimum ex? pense and the bringing of the power of communication throughout the country within the economical reach of every citizen. The telegraph ser? vice is closely similar to the mall ser? vice and It ought to be no more diffi? cult to send a telegram than a letter. It Is probable that at an early day cor? respondence may be possible by wire les messages; In such case, Congress ought to prohibit It, except us con? trolled and regulated by the Govern? ment.

Has Retired to Seclusion In Vicinity Breakdown. v f New York, Nov. 28.?They found Dr. Frederick A. Cook tonight, that Is, an authoritative statement was issued by his brother, W. L. Cook, saying that the explorer, who mys? teriously dropped from public view yesterday, was still in the vicinity of New York, recuperating. He was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and his retirement was absolutely necessary. The statement, "as Issued by Mr. Cook, follows: "Dr. Cook is in the vicinity of New York trying to get a much-needed rest. If he decides to go to Europe there will be no sec?"ocy connected with his departu- . think that his friends and cru. .ike should be charitable enough to allow him to rest until his health is fully restored. He has not been reading the news? papers in the last few days and is not responsible for the statements that have been issued by those who were acting as his spokesmen. "In sending his data to Copenha? gen, Dr. Cook has fulfilled his obli? gations to the public." The foregoing was Issued by the explorer's brother, in view of the fact that the doctor's apparent se? clusion caused great anxiety among his friends, leaving even John R. Bradley, his financial backer, puzzled and exasperated. Mrs. Cook is also In New York, but her exact where? abouts, as in her husband's case, has not been announced. Lexington, Nov. 28.?News reached here today of a serious affray at Ce? dar Grove Lutheran church, Hollow Creekf ten miles from here. Henry Adams, a well known farmer of this county, was seriously cut by Clifton Rlckert, another farmer. Adams is wounded in the side and hand. Cannon Is already begun. It could not wait for the assembling of Con? gress. Speaker Cannon is defending himself like a veteran of the 10th legion, but it is remarked that he is on the defensive and there is signifi? cance of apology in this attitude.'The trip of Mr. Aldrich throught the West as a missionary to teach and to learn, it Is said, had other objects than a proposed central bank bill In view. It is claimed by the insurgent Sen? ators that his real object was to in? gratiate and strengthen himself with the adherents of those who opposed his tariff policy on the floor of the senate. It is possible that four or five Senators from the Eeast may control the legislation of the country for a few months longer but the West is felt more and more in the halls of congress and its assertion cannot be kept down forever. d Truth's."

Frontenac, Kans., Nov. 27.?A triple murder and an assault on a woman was enacted on a lonely roa^ a mile north of here some time last night. The dead are: Mr. and Mrs. William Bork, Germans, of Fron? tenac, and their son, who was two and a half years old. Mr. Bork, presumably, was killed while trying to defend his wife. The child probably was slain be? cause the murderer wished to silence him. The Borks were last seen alive last night, when they started to drive home to Frontenac from the hnt^of Mrs. Borks's mother, two miles out in the country. This morning the Borks* horse and buggy were found standing in the roadway at a deserted spot. In the bottom of the uuggy was dis? covered the child dead from a bullet wound in its head. Hastily pursuing their investiga? tion?-, miners who found th<? child's body, came across the body o* Bork in the middle of the road some dis? tance away1. Bork had been shot once in the head and twice in the body. A trail through the dust plain? ly led the miners to a corn field a hundred feet further away. There they found the body of the woman. She had been assaulted and had been shot throug i *he heart. Mrs. Bork had fought desperately against her assailant. Along the trail to the corn field were found both the slippers she had worn. Ribbons from her hair and her cloak were also found. It is supposed Bork was the first to be killed. The Indications were that he had been shot as he sat in the Vuggy and that he fell from his seot to the road. Two bullets evi? dently were fired Into his body after he fell. Coroner Dudley, Sheriff Morrison Hid Count} Attorney WOolOV hurried here from Pittsburg, Kansas ,as soon as they heard of the crime. The bodies were brought into town and an inquest was held this afternoon. Bloodhounds were sent for to be u.-?ed in an effort to trace the slayer. He left no clue. Lynching may result If he Is captured. 'Tis the mind that makes the body rich?Shakespeare. A good crop of wild oats will grow where weeds wouldn't even sprout.
