Thomas Jordan' and Clarence Brown, the two youths who left Gravesend Bay Sunday noon In an lS-foot canoo and have not been heard from since, are board an oil or tramp steamer bound for some' tropical port, if the supposition of two clamdiggers.

'who saw the canoe and the steamer -near each other Sunday afternoon. Is correct. It is thought that the steamer is not equlppe 1 with wireless, and that therefore the missing youths will not be heard from until after they have reached land. "William Decker of Ulmer Park. L.

and William Cromwell of McK res port. are the clamdlggers who saw the young men. They told their story last night In the Bath Beacli Police Station to the parents of the boys and the detectives looking for, the canoeists. 'They were digging ckurs In the lower bay, they said, when Jordan and Brown pad-dleti up in the canoe. They positively Identified the.

boys from photographs. "We told the boys that, the current was running, out to sea pretty strong, and that tbey had better get Into our dorr and let us tovr their canoe In." Decker said. but they wouldn't mind us. They, said they wanted to paddle over to Swinburne Island, and that thon they would go homo. They paddled off and we watched them until they were almost out of sirht.

and. all of a sudden. It looked to us as if they were being- carried out to sea. We thought we had better go after them, and got out oar oars. Sure enouph.

as soon as we were within shouting distance we heard the boys railing for heir We pulled as hard as we could, because the boys were getting Into rough water and we were still far awr from them. Then we saw a big steamer comlntr bet wet us and the canoe. She looked like a tramp or oil steamer and she was going out. From her course we figured that she would oass right by the and pretty soon she came between us and them and we couidn see tne canoe any more. Decker's story gave the parents of the boys such hope that they were not apprehensive over a report that a canoe had been washed ashore at Castport.

Har- rlsoh. Mayor of Chicago, with many of his lieutenants and other adherents, has refused to accept an invitation from William Randolph Hearst to participate in Hearst's meeting called for to-morrow bight to attack the Wilson Administration on the Panama Canal tolls question. Mayor Harrison stands loyal to l'resident Wilson, and as a result the Hearst-Harrison political machine has received a violent Jolt, with the proba-bilitv of a wide-open spilt. Mayor Hariison has not- come out openly- on either side of the tolls question, but win- to 1 the overwhelming; Chicago demand for a repeal of free tolls he is said to have considered It political suicide to join in the Hearst movement. 1 I I have not1 studied the tolls ques tion." said the Mayor to-day.

i MRS. SIEGEL ASSAILS HUSBAND'S DEALINGS Warned Him That He Faced Jail for Use of Depositors Money, She Says, AND WAS SENT AWAY FOR IT Now, She Says, She Is Left In the Sam Situation Financially as the Bank: Creditors. Mrs HnTr who' Is suing ber husband, biad of the failed Meg-el enterprises, for a divorce. Issued a statement ycsUrday attacking her husband's business dealings. Mrs.

Slegcl signed the statement in the office of her lawyers, llockwood at Haldane. CO Broadway. It is us follows: There have been so many misstatements in the public prtrs recently, not only concerning my divorce action, but concerning my prior status, that I teel called upon to make the following1 'corrective statement: 1 came to New York to visit my flrt husband's Mr. and George Cotton Chase, wholesale ta lmuortr rt Front Street, who e.e weil known both socially and financially. uiTi at whose luxurious home on West Eighty-fifth Street Mr.

Slegel and I were married on April 24. 1 was f-rsl Intronuced to Mr. riicne.i hr friendn at a dinner party. He nver offered, nor did accept, employment In his stores. My married life with Mr.

Sicgel was full of trials and tribulations. Suffice it to say that 1 endeavored in every way to guard and protect hint from his own weaknesses and his lack of consideration for the feeling? -vnd rights of others. Several years ago I learned Incidentally of the dealings of ilenry Stetrcl with the ot depositors in his bank, and I immedi ately remonstrated and wnrnea mm, as I thought it was my duty to do. that he was "facing jail." He raged like madman and treated me shamefullyworse, if possible. than ever.

This continued for several weeks, when he finally ciietiged his attitude townrd me, and at a dinner party at which Mr. Frank Vogel wa4resnt he made l'Kht of tnv predictions and endeavored to convince me that I had been minted and misinformed, and that I waa unjustly suspecting him, whereas The was a noble and honest citizen, seeking only the welfare and advan-tase of thoie with whom ho waa cxm-tieoted. Thereafter Mr. Slegel continued again to mistreat me. in a variety of ways, which it is not necessary now to divulge, and continually suggested that we should be, separated, and from what I have learned in the lut six weeks, I now bcUc-ve that he was actuated throughout with the evident; Intention of having me leave the coun-trv, so that I would not divulge my in-tr'niation of his illegal operations or reproach him further with my suggestions concerning tlie same.

In any event. I finally loft for Paris upoir-hla express promise and agreement to provide for ma. This krt foi a time and then discontinued, and ur or. the face of the situations it looks as though I was In the same position as any other creditor. The statement made by Mr.

Sleitel and others in the public press that be had furnished, mc with vast moneys and th.t I wasted his- funds and led him Into extravagances, both here and abroad, is all absolutely foundation. I am" practically without wny money property whatsoever, and have Men comnelled to institute this ucilon In order to protect my rights and to place the matter before the courts, so that my rights as a wlf mav be determined and enforced. My books will show and I have only one set, that In no year, even when Mr. Slegel waa accredited with having an income exceeding several hundred thousand dollars a year, did he give me over a year with which to maintain the expenses of his elaborate establishments. From what I have now learned from the Information In my possession, it is very evident that Mr.

Siegel has Hpent large sums of money upon varl-- -ous women of his acquaintance, and I think an investigation of his personal affairs will disclose that, while his family expenses have been comparatively light, his ontside if they may be so called, have been very heavy. The pretense by Mr. Siege! that he lost a hit of monev In mines has no relevancy in the present proceedings, such loss, if It occurred, was at least more than ten years ago. I believe that It Win ultimately be found that Mr. Siegel has very large stock Investments In corporations other than the mercantile companies directly controlled by him.

and wh)Je he has bed a large income from thyee and other Investments, he has throughout been decidedly parsimonious with me. us all of my friends well know. Mr. Siegel attempts to account for some of his so-called losses by the statement that he settlements upon my daughter and his daughter on their marriages. This is absolutely untrue.

Ht settled on neither girl one penny, tut- he gave some fine promises. Not only did Mr. Siegel fall to make such settlement on our married daughter, but. on tl contrary, induced my son-in-law's amlly to Invest In his bankrupt ente. arises every loose iuihi, thev bad.

and aecondlv. induced them, as they owed extensive olive orchards, to sign a seven-year contract to ship all the oil they could produce. Thev went into business on the strength of this contract, borrowed money from the Sectional Bank, undertook tremendous financial responsibilities. tnd it was aulequently tieces-ssrv for thein to ijue him before he would pay them a cent three years after the first shipment. Personally I deeply deplore the situation of the thousands of poor depositors who have trusted their moneys to the alleged bank which, as I understand, was not even Inspected by the State examiners.

If It were In mv power, would gladly restore to these poor people their losses, but, apparently. I am left In the same situation i 1 Mr. Siege! was Informed of the statement pi his wife in bis room at the Hotel 'Majestic. Asked if he would reply to his wife charges, Mr. Siegel said: "I have nothing to say." Stanchfield Levy, counsel for Siegel and for Vogel aio, were Informed of rZJln hii rifn hut in.la T.rv mhn nersonallv has been representing Siegel.

declined to (Mscuss the matter. lie sent word that be had not heard about It." Mrs. Slegel'H suit will not affect In any way the depositors' money In the hands of Henry receiver of Henry Siegel bankers, according to Joseph M. Proskauer. counsel for the receiver.

Mr. Proskauer said that he was able tj rne.kc ao unqualified statement to that effect. Augustus E. Foras, mannelng director of trie Hotel Netherland. Fifth Avenue and Fifty-ninth Street, said last night thnt he ha instructed the hotel conn sel, Louis F.

Doyle, to institute a dam atre 'Jlt for libel against Mrs. Henry Siegel. He said the suit would be based on Mrs. Siegei's charge that at various dates after Nov. I'M, her husband bad been of tmproiier conduct at the hotel with a Miss Smith, described His A trained UTH.

A letter received by Captain of Detectives Cameron lato this afternoon from a farmer, who says a horse he was driving kicked to death Warren McCarrlck. the mUsIng seven-year-old boy, is believed by the police to solve the mystery which baa baffled them since the boy vanished on March 12. The farmer, who. Is a German and with whom CapL Cameron has 'been negotiating through advertisements in a newspaper, says in bis letter that the boy's body is buried on his farm, and th.it he will surrender the body if promised immunity. The farmur In the letter describee how the boy was killed.

The farmer's Wagon was standing in front of a saloon at Nineteenth and Balnbridge Streets, when the boy's hoop rolled under the horse. The boy tried to get it and the horse kicked him In the bead. The farmer placed the boy, In his wagon and started to take him a hospital. The farmer placed his -hand on the boy's heart, saw he waa dead and, becoming frightened. drove straight to his farm, where he buried the hoy.

to Boy's It now developtt'that three days ago Warren McCarrlck's father received a letter from the farmer promising- to produce the body If guaranteed against prosecution. A similar letter was sent to Judge John M. Patterson, and an other was sent to Samuel J. Ephralm, a lawyer, asking his help. capt.

Cameron showed the letter he received to-day to the McCarrlck boy's father. and the latter burst into tears when he realized of the child's probable fate. A The letters from the farmer were written in German. In the one ad dressed to Mr. Kpbralm.

the writer, after relating that he had been on the point of confessing for two weeks, said lie had held back because of his wife's Illness and bis fear that- he would be thrown into prison, leaving h's. wife and four children unprovided for. Excerpts from this letter read, as translated: I am a farmer, onlr'a few years In this country, and am not able to speak the English language very well, therefore I-write in German. I would like thst you see Mr. McCarrlck, 1 South Nineteenth Street, and make him acquainted with the contents of the letter whloH I have written In German to Mr.

Morrlck three days ago. I presume that he was not able to read that letter, therefore 1 address myself to you. Please." be discreet because I think somefKMly will take revenge on me. possibly hold me tip at night, burn mv home, because I am the person who knows the whereabouts of the son of Mr- MeCarrlek. or better said, the esse ought to have been told to the police long ago, but then Just consider what would have become of me.

Story of the Tragedy. Well, about fourteen days ago, I had an accident I had my delivery wagon near. Nineteenth Street, and when I was a few steps away from wagon I saw a boy, 0 or years old. under the feet of my thoroughbred and spirited horse, and saw how be tried, with a stick, to get a hoop away-'from under th' feet of the horse. He hit the horse several times on the abdomen.

Alas! the horse kicked and hit the boy on the head and smashed in his head and then stamped on him. I picked the boy up quickly and put him in my wagon, intending to take him to a hospital right away, and on the way, in fear and terror, I stopped and looked 'at the boy and saw what had become of him. He was-dead. I felt his heart. No signs of life anywhere.

My wagon was full of blood. I bad wrapped him up in rugs. The death was Immediate: a person could see that. He bad deep lacerations on the head and the brain had come out. Now what to do? I "did not know who the boy was.

I had read the paper, out still I waited longer and longei. Now this awful thing does not give me any rest any more beeaune I iiave buried the body in my ground. My wife did not know, and sho doea not know, at all. The rugs I had to burn secretly during the night time. I washed the wagon free from blood.

Please give me an answer through the Gazette on Sunday, under the heading Verlorener Sohn (Lost Son.) In the letter to the father of the miss ing boy. the man told the same story as In his letter to the lawyer. Negotiations for granting immunity to the man were conducted by Judge John M. Patterson, Director of IMbllo Safety fortcr. Attorney Kohralm.

The loss to the country entailed oy animal diseases Is to be calculated not only In terms of animals destroyed, but with referenco to the discouraging onlerortsea In animal hus bandry, which such epidemics as the recent epidemic of hog cholera always exert. It has been estimated that in the Northwest nlone cholera lias killed worth of swihe during tlie last In the history of medical science the work of Pasteur en anthrax and the more recent observations In this countiy on Texas fever' In cattle, which opened the door to present knowledge concerning Insert carriers of malaria, yellow lever and1 other diseases are conspicuous illustrations of the value of studies on animal diseases. Tlie Rockefeller Institute accordingly' decided to extend its work so as to include research this field. To eu-iiblo It to do this Jiui t.

BockeWler has, throtish the tK-neral Education -added tho euro t. the endowment of the Institute. Significant evidence of the importance such Investigations as the new department will 'undertake and the expediency of undertaking them in tne manner proposed Is to be found in the fact that a contribution of lo aid In the study of hog cholera has been received from James J. Hill."

With the present facilities at hsnd.

the income from the endowment will make it possible to carry on the work on a broad scope at once. Tleka Carry Texaa Kever, Dr. P.
