ROMANCE AND TRAGEDY OF THE SGHENKS Young Doctor Now Brought Into Poisoning Case of the Millionaire EVIDENCE ISQUITE STROKG Wife in Luxury at Jail and Eats Meals from Swell (Special from United Press.) W. Nov. 12. A net of circumstantial evidence is being woven about a doctor and salesman in the mystery of' the poisoning of John Schenk, millionaire pork packer, in this city.

Mrs. Laura Fames-worth, the wife, is luxuriously and even magnificently locked up in the county Jail, here, changed with trying to kill her husband. The millionaire is at a local hos pital, fighting against the ravages of the slow poison that was administer ed -to him in regular doses with the prepared water that he drank. The prosecution believes that it would have been impossible for anyone, totally ignorant of the chemistry of drugs, to administer the arsenic in the scientifically subtle manner In which it was given to Schenk. Therefore, suspicion fastens on a doctor.

The prosecution says that it must have been one at least as skilled as a doctor, who knew as to what quantities of the arsenic would kill slowly but surely and leave no evidence of crime. Mrs. Schenk, locked up in a cell in one of -the embattled towers of the county, jail, lacks none of the comforts of the mansion, to which Schenk took her from the kitchen of one of his father's neighbors, where she was employed before he married her. The iron bars are concealed by tapestries taken from her fashionable island home. It is a cosy corner.

She sleeps on an embroidered couch. She has a mahogany card table and plays solitaire through the day. Called from her home to the jail at midnight, she hastily gathered together the appurtenances of her dressing tables, perfumes, powders, combs and brushes. She had her best clothes sent to jail and from her dress she might be clad for an afternoon tea. On advice from her lawyers, she says nothing not even to the jailer.

Her meals are brought to her from the city's leading cafe and they cost $2 each. The local papers call her the splendid prisoner." From kitchen to mansion and "from mansion to Jail that covers the life story of Laura Farnesworth Schenk. She was born on a farm and came to this city to work 15 years ago. She -worked as a demestic thjye and the remainder of the 15 years have been devoted to unsuccessful social climbing by brilliant events. She was working as a domestic for a neighbor of Schenk's father when he met her.

He married her against the protests of his family. The Schenk family had had social ambi-Uona and had "arrived." The first Schenk, the father of John Schenk, came to America from Germany, where he started a butcher shop and now his family owns a great deal of the tangible property of the city. The wealth he had amassed had just opened the doors of the charmed eocial circle to them when John married the neighbor's domestic. "If she is not as good as we, I will make her as good," said John, and he built for her a mansion more magnificent than his father's and furnished it more beautifully than the home Jn which she had worked. Two children were born to them a girl who is now 12 years old and a boy who Is seven.

Laura Farnesworth Schenk began her social campaign a year after she was married. She Invited numerous of the local aristocrats to the apartments the newspapers used to call magnificent, but few came. She became discouraged and made attack after attack on the social barrier that kept her out. The income of John Schenk Is $100,000 a year. It has been spent freely on his He bought her a $10,000 automobile and bunt a garage in the rear of their home.

John Schenk, although a millionaire, is a work-a-day sort of a person. Schooled to hard work, he had never acquired the social graces necessary as an asset in his wife's social campaigns. He didn't like dress suits and his custom was to sit around the house in his shirt sleeves. Among the things that Mrs. Schenk learned In! the course of her social education was that shirt sleeves are not proper in a splendid mansion.

John Schenk, old fashioned and plain, began to find himself out of place In the home to which he had brought his wife. His interests were all in the pork establishment and his real estate. He found himself unable to keep pace. Schenk then began to yearn for the broader future that he thought he had neglected and the social personal atmosphere that his wife seemed to acquire so easily. He had decided he would see the world and a year ago he circled the globe.

Wheeling is not a large city and one cannot do things without the neighbors knowing and talking, as is possible in a metropolis. "Wheeling began to do considerable talking shortly after John Schenk left. John Bchenk's $10,000 automobile is one of the sights and will be as prominent an asset of the city as the old soldiers monument, in front of the courthouse. "When Wheeling's leading auto was seen Joy-riding about the streets during Schenk's absence, gossip began. There was talk about a 'young man who was in the machine.

Mrs. Schenk also rode in it. The accusation that the state has brought against Mrs. Schenk is based on the prosecution charge that there was an intrigue between Mrs. Schenk and the young man; that the plot to poison Schenk was to be the final step in a social invasion; that tho chauffeur of the Schenk auto had been asked to drive the machine into a ditch when Schenk rode in it; that a promise of $1,000 was to a nurse if she would give Scheni: poisoned pill; that she was promised another $1,000 if she would find the key to "the strong box that contained Schenk's papers; and that poison was found in the lithia water that had been prescribed for him.

The prosecution claims to lr able to make a complete story, one connecting with the other, in the romance and tragedy of th Schenk. Schenk became ill shortly after he returned from his trip around the (Continued on Page 2) JUDGE BALDWIN SENDS LETTER OF THANKS TO TOWN CHAIRMAN BENT Town Chairman William Bent received a letter this morning from Governor Elect Simeon K.

HAUPT IN LEAD WHEN MACHINE WAS WRECKED Furious Pace of 72 Miles An Hour Maintained by Leaders In Grand Prix Race HAUPT AND HIS MAN HIHT Five Dare Devils Were Nip and Tuck In Great Auto Classic When Race Was Three Hours Old (Special from United Press.)

Hemmery, in a Benz; Wagner, in a Fiat; De Palma, in a Fiat: Nazzaro, in a Fiat, and Brown, in a Benz.

were fighting it out, nip and tuck for the lead. Up to this time these five daredevils had averaged 72 miles an hour. The closeness of the race was shown In an announcement by the timers that Nazzaro was -just five seconds ahead of Wagner. Haupt was leading with his Benz car, by nearly four miles, when he was forced to drop out of the race, leaving 14 competitors. Joe Dawson was the only.other man out at the time.

Victory seemed to lie certainly between the five leaders. Haupt's car hit a tree at Montgomery Cross Roads and turned over. Both Haupt and his mechanician. H. W.

Feypl. were taken to the hospital. In the 16th lap Nabbaro was leading fry two minutes, making "276.S mile?" in three hours, 52 minutes and 49 seconds. Both Haupt and his mechanician, who were supposed to be badfy injured, were found to be only bruised after an examination bj- physicians. After their wounds had been dressed, they appeared In the grandstand.

Haupt's accident was due the skidding of; his car, which ran into a ditch. In the 20th lap of the race less than 2 minutes separated the three leaders. De Palma, in his Fiat. led. Bruce-Brown, in a Benz, was second, Hemmery, In 9.

Benz, third. Wagner's Fiat turned over and both driver and mechanician were found to be in a serious condition and were hurried to the hospital in an ambulance. Mrs. Wagner, who was in the grandstand, as soon as she heard of the accident, went to the hospital to be with her husband. At the end of the 21st lap De Palma in a Fiat was leading by two minutes, and seemed to have the trophy in his grasp.

Bruce-Brown with a Benz, was second, and Hemmery. also in a Benz, was third. At that time the foreign cars seemed to have taken the race away from the American cars. Bruce-Brown wins the Grand Prize.

Albert Kiss, 199 Hamilton street, called at police headquarters today to enlist the aid of the police in recovering $56.50 which he says was stolen from his person after he was rendered unconscious by the use of a powerful drug, a week ago tonight.

Ellen McNiff. SECOND PERIOD WHEELWRIGHT HANDICAPPED BY JACICERS Antagonistic Newspapers Here Also Hurt Him, He Declares to Farmer FISHER MAY GET CONTRACT York, PaMan's Proposition Is Now Favorably Considered by Health Board (Special to The Farmer.) Providence, Nov. 12 Charles H. Wheelwright president of the American Extractor told a Farmer reporter today that he would be in a position to tell definitely what he proposed to do in the garbage disposal problem in Bridgeport by Monday. "I have been greatly handicapped," said Mr.

Wheelwright, "by the attitude of certain of the Bridgeport newspapers. They have taken it for granted that I had nothing, and could produced nothing. The statements they have made along these lihes have been a detriment to my carrymg out my plans. If I had some assistance instead of this opposition I could have made much better progress. I want to state that I believe the Farmer has been eminently fair." Members of the board of health are convinced today that Mr.

Wheelwright will have to abandon his proposed garbage plant on Ash Creek. They are equally certain that Mr. Wheel wright was in good faith throughout the negotiations he made with the city. -Business differences with his associates have-seriously Impaired hia ability to carry out his plans, how ever and because of the differences that arose between him and wealthy men associated with him that he was unable to post $10,000 bond he agreed to file with the city yesterday and in default of which he is likely to have to forfeit a. $1,000 check.

Members of the board of health are now looking to a renewal of their negotiations with Charles C. Fisher a garbage reducer of York, Pa. Mr. Fisher's bid for the reduction of Bridgeport's garbage was based upon a different proposition from that of Mr. Wheelwright.

He proposed to re duce the garbage tor $1 per ton. Mr. "Wheelwright agreed to reduce garbage for $8,500 per year, this ngure naving been, arrived at after the board of. health had several conferences with him and imposed several duties upon him which he had not taken under cons'deration when he filed his first bid of S7.S0O per year. It is known that Mr.

Fisher is ready and anxious for a renewal of negotiations with the city. He has appeared before both the board of health and the advisory committee named by the mavor and made a favorable impres sion, taking the attitude that he was 1 11 ready to sen nis wares 11 uie v-iy wanted, to purchase them at his figure. Fisher has reduced garbage xorK, for a number of years, and his claim that he was carrying out his work satisfactorily was not aisputea at any of the meetings he attended. Mr. Fisher would eitner purcnase from the Bridgenort By-Products Co.

its plant, now partially dismantled, in Asylum street, near iaKeview nome, or erect a plant of his own. Mr. Wheelwright's option on the Ash Creek site, at the end or istate street extension, having expired, he may have difficulty in securing a location. The erection of a municipal gamage reduction nlant. which the health commissioners and other officials agree is the ultimate solution of tne proDiem is not likely to be favoraDiy consia- ered at this time, the health commis sioners- being satisfied to accept me proposition of Mr.

Fisher. J. B. Livingston, president of the Bridgeport By-Products is anxious to unload the reduction plant of the company upon the city. Mr.

Severance of Cleveland, the principal stockholder of the concern, and the present owner by virtue of foreclosure proceedings he brought for a loan side from his stock subscription, is equally anxious to get rid of the plant. If rhev cannot sell it to Fisher, tney will dontinue to dismantle the machinery and will ship it elsewhere. -T. King, wno noias tne con tract for the collection of garbage, is burying the stuff for 50 cents a ton in trenches dug upon the city property near Lakeview Home. The process of burying garbage may be satisfactorily continued during the winter months, but in the summer there is likely to be determined opposition to the prac tice.

King has indicated that he is not willing to continue to bury gar bage indefinitely for the present price of half a dollar a. ton. Members of the neaitn Doaro nave SDent many days in trying to arrive at the completion of arrangements for the reduction of garbage, and if Mr. Wheelwright is able to deliver the goods or show any reaosonaDie inai-r-ntlon of soon being able to do so, the health commissioners will not take any undue advantage of him. They would not even insist upon the for-fpitiirft of the which by his own agreement has already forefeited in his certified check, provided he eventually carries out the plans he nas outlined.

Wheelwright drawback througnout his preparations, nas been a spin with his money men. Wheelwright is accredited an expert in the reduction of garbage. He has invented several devices of use in tne process or gar-hnee reduction. The money Enter- ests he depended upon, however, insisted, that before he should have funds for carrying out the Bridgeport nroiect. he should turn over nis pa tent rights to them.

He refused, and the split resulted. TO SWEAR IX NEW ALDERMEN. Citv Clerk Stephen F.

Adolph Danziger. after whom the Danziger Republican club of Bridge port was named, is not dead he is only a dead one. At the present time he is on the grill in New York, defending a divorce suit brought by a young woman who claims to be his wife. Dr. Danziger says that she isn't his wife, but only thinks she is.

Nevertheless, a number of witnesses assert that they saw a marriage ceremony, real or fake, performed between Dr. Danziger and the young woman. Dr. Danziger won his bride, she testified, by tales of love among the palms and flowers of the sunny South, but when they got there he put her to work for her living. Dr.

Danziger was once Jewish secretary of the Republican National Commission and made a speech here, on which occasion the Danziger Republican club was named after him. The following from this morning's New York World tells the story: Ida S. Danziger has sued Dr. Adolph Danziger for divorce. She names as co-respondent a young woman with whom she alleges the doctor Is now traveling in Europe.

Trial of the case was begun before Justice Greenbaum and a jury yesterday and will be continued Monday. Mrs. Danziger testified that she and Dr. Danziger were married on May 6. 1906.

She first met him when he was practicing his profession as a dentist. When he was appointed as Jewish secretary to the Republican National Committee that' year he engaged her as his stenographer and typewriter. WENT TO CALIFORNIA. "We went West after our marriage," she said. "He told me that after our wedding we would go to California and live i.n happiness among the palm and orange trees.

When we reached there he got me to accept a position as a stenographer with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, where I remained a month. "On the Grst anniversary of our wedding day he left me for Europe, where he said he had business." Danziger produced letters written her by her husband while abroad, one of them addressed to "My Darling and another to "My Sweetheart." She showed the jury two rings which she wore. She said one of them was her engagement and the other her wedding ring. Counsel for Danziger said his defense was that no marriage ceremony was ever performed between his client and the plaintiff, and that consequently she had no case. He asked Mrs.

Danziger whether she always wore the ring she had described as her wedding ring. "I did not wear it when I was working." she said. "Didn't you offer, to drop this suit if Dr. Danziger would give you SAY THEY SAW THE CEREMONY. "I never did," Mrs.

Danziger answered with some heat, "but I did offer to drop proceedings I had instituted In a police court to compel him to support our child." "Didn't Dr. Danziger have something to do with Israel Zangwill and his work, 'The Children of the Ghetto?" "He never had." Several witnesses testified they were at the marriage of the plaintiff and defendant, which they said was performed by a rabbi. One of them said that the ceremony was performed at Danziger's request at an earlier hour in the day than it had been set for. She mentioned the names of guests who were present at the wedding supper which followed In the bride's home, where the marriage was celebrated. Dr.

Danziger was at one time Consul for the United States to Madrid, and is the author of several books on Hebrew subjects.

Nov. 12 Out of England's political turmoil, following the failure of the conference committee to reach an agreement regarding the veto power of the House of Lords, there stands, today, the significant fact that the Liberals are apparently in control, backed by the American gold. Liberal control means a general election, almost immediately, placing before the people the question of taking away all vestige of power from the Lords.

The Liberals believe there is every chance for success, else they would not force the election at this time. Commenting on John Redmond's return to England from the United States, the Mail, today, said: "England should realize the humiliating truth that America bids her change her constitution. If the House of Lords be abolished, the abolition will be aided by American gold." As soon as parliament assembles the question of the aboilition will be discussed. Premier Asquith's cabinet is expected to place its joint resignation in the hands of the King and thus force a general election. The main issue to be decided by the voters will be the question of humbling the Lords and placing the entire governmental powers in the House of Commons, and an upper body', whose members shall be elected instead of being hereditary.

The cabinet, it is said, feels that, with its present small majority in the Commons, it will be impossible to carry on the reforms demanded. It is equally confident that at the present time a general election would result in an overwhelming Liberal victnrv Such a complete Liberal victory, it is believed, would mean the overthrow of the Lords.

Prince-ten, today, was a city of excitement, with one little chalk-lined rectangle, known as University Field, the center of activity and the center, too, of the football world. Yale was in town, "uuf ced." Whenever the Tiger and the Bull Dog meet there is a fight and despite the fact that this year the Bull Dog was reported to be In reality nothing but a decrepit poodle in disguise enthusiasm was not lacking. The crowd was slow in gathering, chiefly because too many relied on the meagre feeding facilities of the few Princeton restaurants. Then there were hundreds of others who lingered in the few restaurants that the town boasts, to get a good start on the celebration that was considered certain. Should the dope not go wrong, the jollification, tonight, will furnish the opportunity for a nice bit of descriptive work.

The air was bltey and blustery with a warming sun having a hard fight with the clouds. A snowstorm struck the field shortly before noon but was soon in duced to proceed on its way. There was very little betting on the game. The early odds of 5 to 6 to "i lengthened to 8 to 3 but there was less money up than for several years. The Yale cheering squad occupied the west stands while Princeton seemed to have a vast majority in the two end stands and the right stand.

At 1:50 Princeton came on the. field -and received a tremendous welcome but it had nothing on the reception given for Yale headed by Captain Daly, who came on later. A biting wind swept across the field from the west. The weather was cold, the cheer leaders engaging in constant two-stepping to keep warm. Captain Daly won the toss and promptly at 2 o'clock the ball was kicked off toward the north goal.

Captain Daly took the ball on Yale's 25 yard line and carried it ten yards. Daly went through the line for two yards. The game was delayed a few minutes until Timekeeper Maurice UNCLASSIFIED TO REXT. 6 room tenement on Park street, near the Park, improvements. Enquire J.
