ME SEES MOTHER
QUEEN OF WES
New York, May 30—To have her
honeymoon change from a period of
the greatest happiness to one of
almost unbearable grief, or Ynoro
properly speaking, of horror, it) the
experience of Mrs. Claude Wain
wright, wife of a prominent:- New
York millionaire yachting enthusiast.
Shortly after their wedding laet fall
Mr. and Mrs. Wainwright and aselect
party of friends departed in the JVain- j
wriglit yacht for a honeymoon voyage
to the South Seas, and from thtH voy
age they returned yesterday, Mrs.
Waenwright in such a mental condi
tion that her complete recovery is in
doubt.
The story told by the members of
the party is so extraordinary that
wore not its source beyond suspicion
it would be treated as the wild flight
of some story writer's imagination: on
the island home of a savage tribe Mrs.
Wainwright found her mother, long
believed to have been drowned,living
as the wife of the tribe's chief and the
mother of Ins children. The shock
threw the young bride into^convul
sions, brain fever resulted Sand al
though at present under the* best of
medical care, her reason has - not re
turned.
When Mrs. Wainwright was * a girl
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. lionald
Foster, of Portland, Me., 'left her
with relatives and started on a . sea
voyage in the sailing vessel of an
uncle. Nothing was ever heard of
vessel or her human freight and it
was long ago an accepted fact that
the sea had made the girl an orphan.
Then came the happy marriage, the
still happier initial weeks of the sea
voyage and tlnaliy the tragic ending,
the latter due to the perisitance of
Mrs. Wainwright.
It was one morning while the yacht
was standing off a small island way
in southern latitudes that Mrs. Wain
wright expressed a desire to go ashore.
Her husband objected but she insist
ed and to satisfy his bride lie con
sented to the request that promises
to fill his life with perpetual gloom.
As the tender of the yacht grounded
on the glistening beach and her occu
pants stepped ashore, a number of the
natives, who proved peaceful came
to greet the- visitors, Among them,
and treated with groat deference was
a woman whoso distinctly Anglo-sax
on features still showed signs of
beauty despite the coating of tan
making them almost as dark as a
native.
Almost instantly this anomoly of
the savage tribe appeared fascinated
by Mrs. Wainwright; breast heaving
and strange sounds struggling from
lips long since untrained to their na
tive language the woman dropped to
her knees and fumbling about her
scant garments drew from her bosom
a gold loeket which sho extended to
ward the dainty creature standing
perplexedly before her. Mrs. Wain
wright took the loeket and opening it
was confronted by a picture of her
self taken just before her mother and
father sailed on their disastrous voy
age.
As the realization that the creature
before her was her mother swept over
Mrs. Wainwright, she swooned only
to be seized in her mother's embrace
before she touched the sands. The
scene that followed will never be for
gotten by those of the Wainwright
party. It was necessary to use force
to compell the mother to relenquish
her child, and by this time the na
tives were showing marked signs of
becoming dangerous and the younger
woman was hastily placed in the ten
der and taken to the yacht.
While the husband was caring for
his wife others of the party returned
to tho shore in an attempt to solve
the terrible mystery. They learned
the solution and enough to convince
them that the mother was insane,
made so by her experience after be
ing saved from the sea by the natives
of the island The chief had taken
tho woman for his wife and in the
years that had elapsed site had for
gotten her own tongue for that of those
among whom she dragged out her ex
istence. The men were also shown tiie
bleached hulk of what was the ship
on which the Posters had sailed, and
the natives managed to convey the
information that Mrs. Foster was
the only person saved.
Before tho men departed it became
evident to them that Mrs. Foster's
weakened mind had lost the impres
sion recalling her past and it was de
cided that it would be best to leave
her where she was.
YOUNG AERONAUT
FALLS 2,000 FEET
* Passaic, N. J., Juno 1—Fully 10,0001
persons, assembled yesterday after- j
noon at a park a few miles from here
were witnesses of a terrible accident
that befell Frederick L. Wood, an 18
year old aeronaut when he attempted
to mako a balloon ascension and par
achute drop. At an elevation of 2,000
foet young Wood cut- the parachute
loose but to the horror of the crowd
the apparatus failed to open and with
its human dependanee fell like a rock
into tho Passaic river.
Wood evidently realized what was
about to befall him and made a des
perate attempt to save himself by
swinging clear of the bar on which
he hung and trying to dive into tho
river. He struek on liis side, however,
and nearly every bone in his body
was broken by the impact. A boat
was hastily rowed to the parachute
and In a fow minutes tho body of
Woods camo to the surface and was
towed to the shoro. Woods was an
amatuor at the business and this was
his first attempt to mako a descent
from a groat height.
Tho sight of tho falling youth and
tho realization of what his fate would
bo caused several women in the crowd
to faint and tho accident brought a
sad end to tho day's outing.

FOUND MURDERED
Parih, Juno 1—Adolph Steinholl,
famous as a portrait painter, and his
mother-in-law wore today found dead
in the beautiful home of the former,
in the suburbs of Paris. Death was
caused by strangulation and resembles
tho work of Apaches, tho notorious
Paris outlaws, but how they obtained

motive of tho crime is a mystery. Ho
far as can bo learned there is nothing
to indicate robbery.
The dead bodies of the two were
found this morning by servants.
That of tho man was in his study

ments. Noither had been seen by
tho servants sinco early yesterday

pletely at a loss to flx the responsi
bility for tho crime.

DEATH THREATS
ALARM CATHOLICS
Black Hand Letters Menace
Head of the Paulist Fa
thers in Chicago.
Chicago, May 30—Catholics in Chl
| eago are in a ferment to-day aB the
result of tho receipt this morning by
Father O'Callaghan, head of thePaul
ist order in the city, of a letter
threatening his death and tho de
struction of St. Mary's church. In
the name mail Francis Hinckley, a
prominent lawyer and a member of
St. Marys congregation, also received
a threat of doath from what is be
lieved to be the same sourco as the
one received by Father O'Callajjhan.
It is the belief, both of the receip
ients and of the police, that the lot
ters were sent by members of the
black hand society and the Italian
quarter of tho city is being combed
by dozens of plain clothes men assist
ed by the regular patrol men of tho
district. Every person against whom
there is a suspicion of connection
with the black hand is being sent to
police headquarters.
Father O'Callaghan has from time
to time publicly denounced the black
hand organization and this fact is
mentioned in tho letter which also
dwells in criticism upon the wealth of
St. Mary's. Hinckley has as a client
a wealthy Italian who, upon the law
yer's advice refused to comply with
a black hand demand for money and
it is believed that this together with
his connection with St. Mary's is re
sponsible for the threat made against
him.
THIRTY INJURED
IN TRAIN WRECK
(Jonnollville, Pa., Juno 1—Thirty
persons were injured, Heveral ho
badly that it in believed they will die,
an the rehult of an accident on the
Iloyal Blue line thin morning. The
train was coming around a curve at
a rapid rati? and an observation ear
left the rails, twisting out the coup
lings and turning clear over. JBy a
miracle the ears behind kept on the
rails.
The accident occurred just outside
of this city and within a few minutes
physicians wore at tho sceno of the
wreck. Those of tho injured who are
unable to travel wero placed in local
hospitals, and tho others had their
wounds dressed and proceeded on their
journey.
The wrecked ear is so badly de
molished that it is impossible to
determine what defect, if any, caus
ed it to jump tho rails, but it is be
lieved by tho railroad officials that a
woak wheel, unable to stand tho
strain of rounding the curve, is res
ponsible.

FOUR YOUTHS ROB !
PASSENGER TRAIN
Lads of Tender Years Suc
cessful in Boldly Planned
Crime in Montana.
. Great Falls, Mont., June 1—Four
ladH, the okloBt not moro than seven
teen, wore the perpetrators of one of
the boldest train hold-ups and robber
ies reported in reeent years. The
robbery took place Saturday night,
a Great Northern passenger train
having been stopped a few miles from
hero, and the arrest of the robbers
was made this morning, their confes
sion following shortly upon their cap
turo.
The youthful bandits are Albert
Hatch, 15 years old William Kadall,
17, Harry Rhoams, 15 and George
Cresswell, l(i. The boys were arrested
in the lower part of town where they
attracted attention by the manner in
which they were spending money.
Their story shows that their crime
was one of the utmost deliberation
and the manner in which they carried
out their purpose proves them to be
possessed of more than the ordinary
amount of nerve.
The train was halted by the display
of a signal light and almost before
the locomotive bad come to a stand
still masked robbers boarded the cab
and ordered the engineer and bis fire
man to throw up their hands. One of
the robbers stayed in the cab and the
other joined his companions after the
locomotive crew luul been taken care
of.
The train crew was also captured
and held helpless at the muzzle of a
revolver in the hands of one of the
bandits and the others wont through
the express ear. They were unable
to get into the safe but obtained a
considerable sum from several pack
ages and completing their task they
left the car, summoned their com
panions and the quartette vanished
into the darkness, holding their vie
tims at bay by a continuous discharge
of revolvers in the direction of the
latter.
The boys say that they came im
mediately to town, it is probably
that had they not been so anxious to
spend the reward of their lawlessness
suspicion would never have pointed
at them for the olllcers were con
vinced that the job had been done by
experienced men.
SALOON MEN WIN
VICTORY IN COURT
Seattle, May 29—There is joy in the
hearts of the saloon men who are op
posed to Sunday closing and there is
gloom In the hearts of the theatrical
magnates, part icularly those who are
proprietors of cheap vaudeville
houses, for the state supreme court
has ruled that the Sunday closing law
applies to all places of amusement.
The ruling was handed down this
morning, and is the outcome of a test
case taken up from Tacotna.
When the officers of the state and
the various municipalities and coun
ties therein first began the enforce
ment of tho Sunday closing law as it
applied to saloons, the saloon nen
made an attempt to have every pro
vision of tho law enforced. This
would havo closed every sort of an
institution and business except, liv
ery stables, undertakers, physicians
and churches, and even in the case
of the latter the law forbids the use
of a paid choir or organist. News
papers, too, come within the law's
provisions.
In the majority of eases where ar
rests wore made for running theatres
on Sunday the police court juries
brought in verdicts of acquittal and
in this city the trial of these cases be
came such a farce that the officers
declined to make further arrests. In
Taeoma however, there was a con
viction ami the easo was appealed to
the supreme court.
Now the saloon men purpose de
manding tho enforcement of the law
in Its entirety In an endeavor to bring
it into such 111 repute that the next
legislature will repeal It., or that it
will b« allowed to retire to the state
of innocuousness it, so long occupied.
(leorgo W. Palmer, of Knik, widely
known as a pioneer merchant, fur
buyer and mining man is a passenger
on the Portland for the states. Mr.
J'almor spent, a few hours Inst evening
shaking hands with his many friends
in this city but managed to catch tho
Portland despite counter attractions.
Ed. 8. Orr and Mrs. Orr went to
Seattle on the Portland. Mr. Orr ex
peots to spend several months In the
states.
