    NOTEO PLUNGER
TO MIN RICHES
Newt Bennington, Once Fa
miliar Turf Figure, Released
From Sanitarium.
XEW YORK, July s.—Like a. man
from the grave. W. Newton Benning
ton -once possessor of a fortune of
fl 500,000, amassed largely through
g -.p. tabular turf plunges, has reap
peared in this city. His fortune has
been practically swept away. His
health, however, has been restored to
him after a long stage of mental and
pV.’ical illness lasting five years, dur
{rc a hich he was confined in several
sanitariums and hospitals.
■ However, I thank God that I am
a Hve,” he said yesterday to a reporter.
■I needed a long rest and I have had
j t Now I weigh more than 170 pounds,
and I'm going to plunge back into
business again. You know that I al-
Tvay=. knew a lot about real estate
(though people spoke of me mostly
a ’urf celebrity).
I have $40,000 worth of real estate
’eft of mv fortune. It is distributed in
this state and in New Jersey. With
this money I expect to begin my finan
cial rehabilitation. You’ll hear them
speak again of ‘Million Dollar Ben
nington’ in a year or two.' ■
Bennington in appearancp is still the
“tall plunger” whose nod to a book
maker during the heyday of his turf
career meant a five-figure bet on Bel
dame. DeMund or another of the great
horse's that raced under his colors.
New York Looks Good to Him.
New York looks as good to me as
a spring to a desert goat,” continued
the man who insists that he is still
“Luckv” Bennington. "I have known
nothing of it practically during the
past five years.
“I went to Dr. Combes’ sanitarium in
Flushing during the summer of 1907, as
you may remember. This was follow
ing a number of reverses and aftet a
nervous breakdown
•'When I left Dr. Combes’ 1 took up
m'- tangled business affairs again. A
few weeks later came the accident
which came within a- gambler’s ace of
costing me my life. I went to Cobalt,
Canada, with friends to inspect property
there in which we had an interest.
While walking alone I fell over a cliff
which fell away a sheer three hundred
feet. Fortunately, 1 was caught in
some tangled bushes which grew out
of the side of the cliff, and I escaped
with my life.
“I was so badly hurt, however, that
j entered Dr. Bull's sanitarium when I
returned to New York. After leaving
Dr. Bull’s 1 decided to give my shat
tered nerves another chance to heal by
re-entering Dr, Combes’ sanitarium. In
June, 1910. I left Dr. CombeS 1 place in
a hack. I thought that we were going
to the Erie railroad, where 1 was to
take a train for my home in Cornwall.
For some strange reason the hackman
drove to the Ontario and Western rail
road station and I found myself aboard
a tiain for .Middletown. N. Y.
Won $500,000 in Four Years.
I haven't the slightest idea who gave
the hackman the order to drive to the
0. A- M station. lam sure it was not
Dr. Combes or my wife.
“Anvway. when I got to Middletown
I found that I was consigned to the
State Homoeopathic hospital there. I
h;',v< !>■ m there for the past two years.
I bad a private room, was well cared
for and for a time was satisfied be
cause 1 knew that I needed a good, long
rest.”
Newt Bennington, six years ago. was
one of the most conspicuous figures in
the Wall Street district and on the turf.
In his heyday he was a churn of Gates,
Drake. Davy Johnson and others whose
bets on a single race often totaled
$100,009.
Bennington's career on the turf was
most spectacular. With Fred Bellew
he won $500,000 in stake winnings in
one period of four years. He con
trolled the services of' Frank O'Neill,
who was for seasons one of the most
successful of jockeys. This combina
tion <as dazzling in its pecuniary re
sult - Rennington won a fortune in
purses with the great colt DeMund be
fore he sold him for $40,000 to Paul J.
Rainey
Bennington married Bessie Taylor, a
well known actress, seven years ago.
Mrs Rennington is said to be at pres
ent in I'hicago.

Ij] Real Romances of Sunny Georgia
BURSTING OF AUTO TIRE HURLS
YOUTH INTO MESHES OF CUPID
Nurse Heals Patient’s Broken Limb,
But His Heart Becomes Affected.
When Miss Kathleen Mitchelson, the pretty daughter of
Mrs. William Mitchelson, of 109 Thirty-eighth street, west.
Savannah, and Sidney Carswell James, of Waynesboro,
were married in Augusta several weeks ago all except their
most intimate friends saw nothing more in it than the
usual love match, but these few intimates knew that a
burst automobile tire was largely responsible for the pret
ty romance of sunny Georgia.
Early in November. Carswell, who is in the automobile
business in Waynesboro, was skimming along some of the
fine roads of Burke county in his .machine. When about
three miles from Waynesboro a tire burst, and he was
thrown out of the automobile with such violence that his
leg was broken. He was taken to the Pine Heights hos
pital. in Augusta, for treatment, and there he found Miss
Mitchelson, engaged as a nurse.
She appeared even more than attractive to Mr. Janes
as, arrayed in her cap and uniform, she attended to him
while the troublesome broken limb was mending. It soon
became evident that there was something the matter with
Jones other than a hurt leg. He had developed a very
serious affection of the heart, and his demure little nurse,
instead of contributing to the cure of this, only aggravat
ed the trouble.
Mr. Jones Finds He Is Hit Hard.
It did not take Jones long to discover that he was hard
hit. and it was with some sorrow and a good deal of re
luctance that he listened to the verdict of the physicians
to the effect that his wound had healed sufficiently to ad
mit of his going back to Waynesboro. Jones found that
he needed a nurse to minister to him for the balance of
his life, and, more wonderful still, that Miss Mitchelson
would just about fi'l the bill.
The doctors, however with romance long dead in their
breasts, bundled him back to Waynesboro without more
ado. A few weeks at home, however, showed him that he
had left the hospital entirely too soon. His injury had not
wholly healed, and he had to be taken back to Augusta.
It is not recorded that he protested very vigorously at the
return trip.
During the interval at Waynesboro,
Jones had done some considerable
thinking. Also he had reached a con
clusion. The conclusion was to the ef
fect that Miss Mitchelson was as nec
essary to him as the breath of life.
Before he was dismissed from the hos
pital the second time he had told the
girl the trouble and suggested the cure,
and they had reached one of those un
derstandings that bring happiness al
ways to two young hearts.
Jones had obtained the young wo
man’s consent to marry him —condi-
tionally. The condition was that she
was to conclude her course of train
ingl. but the girl promised that on the
day she received her diploma as a
trained nurse she would throw what
ever ambition she had in the direction
of her profession to the winds and be
come Mrs. Jones.
Weds °n Graduation Day.
Miss Mitchelson was graduated as a
nurse on Saturday, March 23. Early
in the morning she received her sheep
skin from the Pine Heights sanita
rium. At noon on the same day she
dontied the beautiful wedding gown
that had been made for her in Savan
nah, and became Mrs. Sidney Carswell
Jones.
When Miss Mitchelson promised to
wed Mr. Jones on the day she would
be graduated she had. however, for
gotten one little detail. This was that
the day of her graduation would come
in the midst of the Lenten season. She
could not very well wed in Lent, as
she is a consistent member of the
'Catholic church. From the church au
thorities the voung jKotnan received a
special dispensation, allowing her to
be married in Lent. Thus the last ob
stacle was removed, and the wedding
took place as scheduled in the parson
age of the Sacred Heart church, in Au
gusta. with the Rev. Father Sherry as
the celebrant.
Miss Mitchelson, whose home was in
Savannah before she left for Augusta
to enter the profession in which she
has been engaged for the past three
years, has a mother, sisters and several
brothers in Savannah. Her mother is
Mrs. William Mitchelson, and her sis
ters are Mrs. Robert Foster and Miss
Lulu Mitchelson.

PITTSBURG, July 5.-—Lee Ander
son, of the north side, was refused a
divorce by Judge Cohen today, even
though he testified that he had mar

to.
The court ruled that Anderson had
shown no valid reason why a divorce

DEATH LIST FROM
WRECK TOTALS 41
Sixteen of Victims Still Uniden
tified-Railroad’s Officials
Put Blame on Engineer.
CORNING, N. Y„ July s.—With six
teen of the 41 victims of Thursday’s
Lackawanna wreck still unidentified
today, the authorities worked all night
and today trying to establish the names
of the unknown dead. Coroner Herbert
G. Smith is making a rigid investiga
tion and is preparing a long list of
witnesses for the inquest when it is
reopened Tuesday. Three witnesses
were heard last night.
The death list will probably go above
41, as some of the injured are in a pre.
carious condition.
Beside the dead, 43 were injured.
Engineer Schroeder Is held respon
sible for the accident in an official
statement issued by General Superin
tendent E. M. Rlne, of the Delaware.
Lakawanna and Western, because, :t is
charged, he ran past signals set to warn
him of the train in front. Schroeder
denies that his train was flagged or
signalled otherwise.
Those whom Coroner Smith had not
succeeded in identifying today were
eight women, six men, a boy aged ten
and a girl aged three.
Pitiful Scenes in Morgue.
Pitiful scenes were witnessed at the
improvised morgue. The bodies wrap
ped in sheets were placed upon cots.
Through the flickering glow of lan
terns, deputies from the coroner’s office,
police and detectives moved through
the night assisting the undertakers or
attempting to identify the remains.
Most of the dead bodies were badly
mangled, 'making identification exceed
ingly difficult.
In addition to the investigation the
authorities are making the Lakawanna
railroad is making a strict inquiry into
the cause.
Despite the allegation of Lackawan
na officials that Engineer Schroeder
either overlooked or disregarded sig
nals. the first three witnesses who have
testified at the inquest testified that
they did not see any flagman. One of
these witnesses, George Reynolds, of
Brooklyn, declared that he was on the
rear platform of train No. 9 and that
he did not see any flagman go back to
ward on-coming trains.
His Whole Family Wiped Out.
Early today William R Laird, of
Buffalo, identified the horribly muti
lated body of his father. George Laird
of Brooklyn 75 years of age. The elder
Laird had not been away from home
for 40 years. He was going to Buffalo
to see his son. At the side of the aged
man lay the shattered body of William
Laird’s wife and nearby aws the corpse
of his five-year-old daughter. Mabel,
and his two-year-old son. Thus Laird’*-
whole family was wiped out.
Seven Injured in
Street Car Smash
PITTSBURG, July s.—Seven persons
were probably fatally injured last night
when a car on the Pittsburg, Harmony.
Butler and Newcastle street car line
ran into another car which was tak
ing on passengers at Keown station.
All were hurried to a hospital in this
city.
UNPAID ALIMONY
UNDER HAMMER
Block of Claims for $28,445,
Due From Millionaire, Brings
SIOO at Auction.
NEW YORK. July s.—“ Alimony de
ferred" probably will be listed on the
Wall Street curb in a few days. It
’ made its first bid for recognition when
1 it was placed under the hammer by an
auctioneer in bankruptcy, who sold a
: claim for $28,445. Alex D. Cantor, of
10 Wall street, was the Wall Street per
son w illing to take a chance. He, hid
SIOO for the lot and it was knocked
down to him.
Os course, Mr. Cantor can t eat a
’ claim for deferred alimony any more
than he can anay other stock. He has
two chances. One is to place it in his
safe and wait for a rising market, and
the other is to split the lot into small
shares and throw it onto the curb some
day when he runs no chance of having
it classed in the “cats and dogs.”
With "Alimony deferred” there prob
ably could come along “Alimony pros
pective, “Alimony common" and “Ali
mony guaranteed," the price of the
stock depending largely, of course, upon
how much of it there is on the mar
ket and the rating of the person whose
name is attached as the payee.
How Stock Got in Market.
Some months ago Ethel S. Elliott,
former wife of John Love Elliott, went
into bankruptcy. Mrs. Elliott owed a
lot of money, and the only asset she
possessed was the unpaid alimony
which Mr. Elliott owed to her. Nathan
Wolkof. the trustee, decided it was
salable, and so Charles Shongood. a
United States auctioneer, said: “How
much am I hid?” Mr. Cantor, a pro
gressive in speculation, bid SIOO, and
the claim for $28,445 was knocked down
to him.
Mrs. Elliott was a singer, and left
the stage, where she was known as
Ethel Irene Stewart, to become a wife.
For seven years she lived with the mil.
lionaire and then quietly divorced him
in 1907. It was said she was to receive
$20,000 a year alimony. Mr. Elliott a
few- days later married Miss Laura
Moore, the singing teacher of hie wife,
and sailed for Europe.
This block of $28,445 Elliott Deferred
Alimony is not all that Mrs. Elliott will
be able to turn loose. She probably will
accumulate more of It; so she is vitally
interested in the manner In which Wall
Street takes to the new stock.

PRINCE WRITES
SOUL INTO BOOK
German Noble Says He Real-
izes His Littleness in Face
of Nature.
BERLIN, July s.—The book of the
crown prince, "Leaves from My Hunting
Diary," giving his own account of his
sporting experiences in Europe and India
during 1910 and 1911, has just been pub
lished. The book is handsomely produced
with the prince's initial and coronet em
blazoned in gold, and is illustrated by
photographs mostly taken by the prince
or the princess.
In the preface the prince says:
"In offering these pages to the public I
feel a certain embarrassment, and I want
to save my readers from false illusions.
These little sketches are simple and plain
and lay claim to no literary value. They
are loose leaves taken from the diary of
a man who loves real hunting, and to
whom great and beautiful nature Is an
inexhaustible source of loveliness and the
joy of life."
In describing his stay in a country
house in Scotland, the prince says:
Praises English Country Houses.
“These English country houses are. to
my mind, the most elegant and at the
same time the most comfortable imag
inable. Every guest In such a house is
looked after in a delightful way, and this
is done in such a charming manner that
a guest is never conscious that his host
is troubling himself about him. In the
art of entertaining the English are a
genial ideal. With us. people think It nec
essary to be always talking to a guest.
He is worried to death with engagements,
pleasures and sightseeing. There is noth
ing of that in England. Meals are at cer
tain hours. When the house party comes
together. If there is nothing special to do.
such as a hunt, then everybody is his own
master."
The prince shows a racy style in nar
rating his first experience in elephant
hunting In Ceylon.
“We had splashing about perspfringly
for some three-quarters of an hour with
jout seeing anything when we suddenly
heard a very strange noise. It sounded
like the dull growth of distant thunder
as we approached nearer. Our leader ex
plained in a whisper that it was the
snoring of an elephant which was taking
its midday nap quite close to us. He was
I right. After we had crept forward about
another 300 meters—(this creeping was,
moreover, no trifle, in view of the nature
of this close relation of a pontine marsh
off the slippery ground of which we slith
ered about miserably) we saw the colos
sus lying on his side, gray, massive, with
the head pointed toward us and fast
asleep.
Confesses Nervousness.
"It had been Impressed upon me where
I should place my bullet, either from the
side on a triangle between the eye and
the ear or from in front immediately
above the root of the trunk. I knelt down
in the swamp and steadied myself against
a small willow, or something similar. I
aimed at the spot above the trunk and
confess that I placed my finger very ner
vously on "'e trigger.
“What happened then is indescribable,
the crack of the shot mingled with a kind
of earth and sea-quake, and a terrible
trumpeting from the so rudely awakened
old gentleman.
"He had rolled himself onto his feet.
I could see the place where my shot bad
hit him. Although too high, the shot
must have been through the oblique po
sition of the head and It failed to strike
a vital part.
“There the fellow stood puzzled and
raging only a moment, but just long
enough for Finckenstein and one of the
Englishmen, each to get in a bullet, then
the wounded giant tured and crashed
away from us. There we stood with silly
faces. The Englishmen said, ‘damn,’ and
we said, 'Verfiucht,' which is pretty much
the same thing.
Elephant Gets Away.
"It was at once clear to me that we
must follow. One of the Englishmen,
however, declared straight out that he
could not agree to my going another step
further, for a wounded elephant was no
joke.
“We replied calmly that he could re
main behind, which he decided to do, so
we all set off on the track of the wounded
animal —this pursuit 1 shall never forget
in all my life.
“The undergrowth was enormously thick
and entirely blocked the view. At any
moment we might be confronted by the
wounded elephant At twenty paces dis
tant, if he attacked us we were lost: as to
that, there was no doubt the ground was
slippery and covered with thorns so that
we could not deviate two steps from the
elephant's track. There were no large
trees.
“Destruction threatened us behind the
wall of brushwood, and as a matter of
fact we were almost taken by surprise
One of the English gentlemen brushes the
curtain of creepers aside, and then I see
that he suddenly makes spasmodic signs
to me. I spring forward and gesticulate
quickly to Finckenstein in front of us.
Twenty paces away stands the gray giant
ready for attack, the mighty ears extend
ed, and trunk rolled up.
“We opened a quick fly The bullets
sailed in on him, then me turned and
went off at a jog trot.
“I was in despair. All the trouble, the
excitement and the danger had been in
vain. We set off again in pursuit, and
for two hours more, painfully and ever
more painfully, fought our way through
thicket and swamp till at last our
strength failed. Struggling for air. each
one sat down exactly where he was, that
is to say, in the water. The elephant
had more than a dozen bullets in him and
yet we never saw anything more of him."

TON 1 CRUFT
Chief of Weather Bureau Be
lieves Aviation Will Be Great
Meteorological Aid
WASHINGTON, July s.—Professor Wil
lis L. Moores chief of the United States
weather bureau, delivered the first of a
series of lectures before the Royal institu
tion in London recently. He predicted
that the time would come when the
weather bureaus would have the added
responsibility of mapping dally air routes
for passenger-carrying aeroplanes, and in
hnated a belief that the dream of the
meteorologist of forecasting the character
of coming seasons might be realized.
He said in part:
“By the use of cinematography (pho
tographing of moving objects, we are jus
tified in believing that atmospheric pheno
mena 50 to 150 miles above sea level are
coming within the reach of accurate me
teorological observation and calculation
We shall in the near future have a more
Intimate knowledge of the complex opera
tions of nature in these high altitudes
that we have today.
Sees Aid to Aviation.
“Aviation is largely indebted to me
teorology for Its existence. The aeoro
plane is but the kite of the meterologist,
with power and rudder attached, and the
art of aerial navigation and that of
weather forecasting will be more closely
allied in the future than they have been
in the past. In fact, making of such
navigation commercially possible may de
pend up the constructing engineer.
“I forecast the future when I say that
the time may come when many of the 200
stations of (he United States weather bu
reau and those of other weather services
will be equipped with aviators and flying
machines. The kite on windy days and
the aeroplane on quiet days will carry the
instruments aloft and bring back the
pressure, temperature and direction and
force of the wind, which, when tele
graphed to the central offices, will en
able the forecaster to construct a weather
map on, say, the two-mile level—will en
able him to plot the horizontal distribu
tion of pressure and temperature gradi
ents up in the free air. where the energy
of the storm must be the most intense,
and, what is of the greater importance to
the pilots of air craft, to determine the
regions of unstable equilibrium.
May Lay Out Routes In the Air,
“Then the central meteorological office
may issue more danger warnings to air
craft than to water craft. It is no wild
flight of fancy to assume that in the near
future the weather forecaster will lay
out the routes of t|ie ships of the air;
when, for instance, there shall fly from
the roof of every weather station a fair
way signal, one that advises caution, or
one that peremptorily orders all craft to
come down and be tied up; when, for in
stance. the forecaster of the United States
shall say that the way is clear for all
craft from the south and east bound for
Chicago, hut that everything from the
Mississippi westward will be wrecked If It
flies, and should await further advices."

REP. WILSON IS
HOUSEJESTER
Bill Requiring Millers to Keep
Directory of “Tiger” Patrons
His Latest Effort.
Representative W. W. Wilson, of
Gwinnett county, Is not only one of the
patriarchs of the house of represen
tatives. but one of the readiest little
jokers. It is a rare occasion indeed
that does not find the gentleman from
Gwinnett coming to bat with his joke.
Urging a bill for the Australian ballot
and offering more or le>s humorous
amendments to other members’ bills
form the principal occupation of the
venerable legislator.
The house was having a three-cor
nered debate over the bill against buy
ing and selling seed cotton, a measure
designed to prevent negroes and others
from picking another man's clean
of the staple and disposing of it to
an unscrupulous dealer. Another mem
ber offered an amendment to require
all parties purchasing seed cotton to
keep a record of every purchase ivith
the name of the seller. The debate
dragged on amid thi* yawns of the un
interested house, when Mr. Wilson
rose and offered a second amendment.

miller who grinds corn for blind tigei.s
must keep a record of such tigers,
