Statement by Secretary Day of the
National McKinley Memorial
Association.
PURPOSE PRESENTED TO THE PEOPLE.
Caution Against Enterprise* At
tempting to Make Capital Out of
the Sentiments of Affection
Which Inspired the Desire to Eit
tlngly Honor the Illustrious Dead.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 14.—Judge Will
iam II. Day, ex-secretary of state and
president of the McKinley National
Memorial association, has issued the
following statement to the public,
adopted by the trustees at their re
cent meeting in Washington:
The McKinley National Memorial asso
ciation was organized by the immediate
personal friends of President McKinley,
to afford an opportunity to the people of
the United' States to express their per
sonal love and devotion to the late pres
ident by the erection of a tilting memorial
at his grave. The trustees were appoint
ed by the president of the United States,
the lirst meeting for organization hav
ing been held at Cleveland, October 10.
It is the distinct purpose of the asso
ciation to erect such a memorial as will
fittingly typify those exalted qualities of
character, simplicity, dignity, devotion to
duty and high ideals that were so emi
nently exemplified in his life and pur
poses. This memorial is to rise above
the grave at Canton, O., where he will
finally rest in accord with his own ex
pressed wish.
In bringing the purposes of this asso
ciation before the people, the earlier work
has been necessarily one of organization.
This has progressed rapidly and satis
factorily. It is desired that an organ
ization be perfected in every state
and territory, and local organization
in cities, towns and rural dis
tricts, with a committee in charge, work
ing in connection with the state auxiliary,
is urged. The public should be given the
fullest opportunity to subscribe.
The trustees desire to express their
deep sense of obligation to the press of
the country for its earnest support thus
far, and to recommend that all newspa
pers act as agents for the receipt of sub
scriptions.
By a resolution passed by the American
Bankers’ association, all banks have been
designated depositories for subscriptions.
All postmasters will receive and forward
moneys and all express companies will
issue money orders free of charge, and,
■when necessary, forward money free.
In foreign countries, the ambassadors,
ministers and consuls of the United
States will receive and forward subscrip
tions.
in every case the name and address of
the subscriber should be forwarded to the
treasurer, Myron T. Herrick, Cleveland,
O., for preservation in the permanent
archives of tiie association, and in order
that souvenir certificates may be sent to
each. The souvenir certificate adopted
by the trustees will be worthy of preser
vation as a work of art and as evidence
of the holder's participation in the erec
tion of the national memorial. It has en
graved upon it a portrait of President
McKinley and in shadow pictures of the
president’s home at Canton, the capitol
and White House.
i/olAi,, is especially cauuoued
against any enterprise attempting to
make capital out of the sentiments of af
fection which inspired the desire to rear
at the grave of our late president a me
morial which shall fittingly honor his
memory, it is the desire of the trustees
that all contributions shall be the free
will offering of the people, and they re
spectfully request the public to discour
age all propositions which may seem to
have as their object the obtaining money
by giving all- or part of the proceeds to
the memorial fund. The public are here
by notified that the McKinley National
Memorial association has no connection
with or relation to any other associa
tion or to any enterprise of a commercial
nature.
After a conference at tliis meeting
■with representatives of the William
McKinley Memorial Arch association
of Washington, the following resolu
tion was adopted:
Resolved, That it be the sense of the
trustees of the McKinley National Me
morial association that the field of pop
ular subscription should Ce left to it for
raising the sum necessary to provide a
suitable memorial to the late president
at Canton, where his body lies; and that
this association should join with the
William McKinley Memorial Arch asso
ciation. of Woshington, in memorializing
congress to erect a national memorial at
the capital of our country to cummem
orrate his services to the nation.
The Arch association acquiesced in
this resolution and has properly
ceased to solicit popular subscrip
tions, leaving the field to the McKin
ley National Memorial association,
through which the people of the Unit
ed States will build a memorial of af
fection at tlie last resting place of
Iheid beloved president, William Mc
Kinley.

tions, Senator Sanchez, and Wm. L
ilerrv. United States minister to Ni
caragua, Salvador and Costa Rica

MRS. BONINE ACQUITTED,
The Washington Jury Declared Her Not
Guilty of the Murder of James
Seymour Ayres, Jr.
Washington, Dec. 14.—The jury in
the ease of Mrs. Lola Ida Hemry Bo
nine. charged with the murder of
James Seymour Ayres, Jr., in the
Kenmore hotel, in this city, on the
night of May 13,last evening returned
a verdict of “Xot guilty,” and the
defendant was set at liberty. Such
a conclusion of the trial was general
ly expected, the popular impression
here being that, from the evidence
submitted, the prosecution had failed
to prove its case against Mrs. Bonine.
The jury was out less than five hours,
retiring a few minutes after four
o’clock in the afternoon, and report
ed their verdict shortly before nine
o’clock last evening.
The attendance in the court room
when the jury returned was limited
to the members of the bar, represen
tatives of the press and the employes
of the court.
There was some little attempt at
a demonstration of approval, but this
was q\iickly suppressed by Judge
Anderson,who had previously warned
the spectators against manifestations
of any character. Mrs. Bonine was
in court at the time, and with her
were her husband and her two boys
and several of her relatives, all of
whom have shown their sympathy for
her by their constant attendance dur
ing the long trial.
The jury was discharged and Mrs.
Bonine and her friends left the court
house by a bai|k door.
The trial of Mrs. Bonine had been
In progress for almost four weeks,
and attracted more attention than
any trial before the local courts in
years. Extraordinary interest was
caused at the time young Ayres was
killed, because of the mystery sur
rounding the case, until the state
ment made by Mrs. Bonine of her
part in the tragedy while the cor
oner’s inquest was in session. She
said she was the only person in the
room when young Ayres was shot,
and that he was killed in a struggle
with her over the possession of a
revolver with which he was trying to
frighten her into compliance with his
demands. Mrs. Bonine had been in
jail since the tragedy. She did not
go on the witness stand during the
trial.
TWO BANK ROBBERIES,
Safe of the Bank of Sturgis, Ky , Blown
and Four Thousand Dollars
Carried Off.
Sturgis, Ky., Dec. 14.—The Bank of
Sturgis was robbed early yesterday
morning of between $3,500 and $4,000
by robbers who blew opfen the safe
with nitroglycerine. The robbers arc
thought to have escaped on hprses
and to have followed the railroad
track. Bloodhounds followed the
trail for several miles, but lost it
then on account of a rain.
The bank officials were recently
warned by a detective that the bank
might be robbed, and therefore only
a small amount of cash was kept on
hand, frequent shipments of money
being made to Evansville, ind., for
safe keeping.

lars of the Bank's Money.
Mobile, Ala., Dec. 14.—Thursday af

not appear when the bank opened
yesterday morning, but not until
last night was it discovered that he
left town early yesterday morning
on the train for New Orleans. The
police have been notified along his
possible route. Shambiin is 22 years
of age, and had been in the bank’s
employ several years.
AGAINST HER HUSBAND
Sirs. Marsaret Lynch Testifies
Against Her Husband, tlic Con
fessed Jury Briber.
Chicago, Dec. 14.—Mrs. Margaret
Lynch,wife of ex-Bailiff .las. .T. Lynch,
the confessed jury briber, was the
star witness in the early session of
the trial of Alexander Sullivan,
charged with aueged conspiracy to
keep Lynch from being tried for his
crime. She gave the lie direct to
much of her husband’s testimony, on
which the state had largely based i‘s
case. Mrs. Lynch has been separated
from her husband for some time. She
deniedjemphatically that Alexander
Sullivan’s name was mentioned either
by her husband or by George P. Mur
ray on the night when Murray is said
to have called on Lynch to ask him
to accompany him to Sullivan’s house.
Lynch testified, some time ago, that
Murray said he came at Sullivan’s be
hest and that Sullivan wanted to send
Lynch to Canada in order to avoid be
ing tried for jury bribing. Mrs.
Lynch further testified, in contradic
tion to Lynch, that Lynch had ex
pected Murray to call on the night In
question.

A State Commission Appointed to
See That Texas is Properly
Represented at the Fair.
Austin, Tex., Dec. 14.—The first
definite and important step toward
having Texas properly represented at
the Louisiana Purchase exposition
was taken, Thursday, when Gov. Say
ers appointed a state commission,
consisting of 51 members, whose duty
it shall be to have charge of the work
of raising a fund for making a credit
able exhibit of the state's products
and resources at the great fair and
to direct the work of collecting and

advised the governor that he will per
form active service. The commission
will hold its first meeting at Dallas on

AIMED AT EX.-GOV. TAYLOR.
A Hooxicr Cantcrentiinii!i Tryina to
Encompass the Extradition of
Ex-Gov. Taylor to Kentucky.
Washington, Dec. 14.—Representa
tive Robinson (Ind.) introduced two
measures designed to secure the ex
tradition of ex-Gov. Taylor, of Ken
tucky, from Indiana, where he is said
to be sojourning, to Kentucky, where
he is wanted in connection with the
Goebel tragedy. One of the measures
is for an investigation whether the
governor of any state is justified in
refusing to recognize extradition pa
pers from the governor of another
state. The other measure provides
that in case a governor refuses to rec
ognize extradition papers they may
be executed by a United States mar*
shal.
