DAWK HOLDS DEVLIX POLICIES.

Fire National will Get Over $800,000 In Life Iararaaee. When the First National bank failed Mra Devlin signed over to the bank in insurance policies. The annual premiums on these policies amounted to about $30,000. The policies had a cash surrender value of about $70,000 and counted in the available funds of the bank In that amount. With the death of Mr.

Devlin they became worth the amount of the policies and increase the cash available by $600,000. When he first heard of the death of Mr. Devlin Receiver Bradley said that the payment of the insurance would mean that the bank would be able to pay the depositors in full Mr. Bradley, receiver of the First National bank, when asked what effect the death of Mr. Devlin will have on the bank and the payment of the liabilities, said: "Mr.

and Sirs. Devlin signed in life Insurance policies over to the First National as collateral security to the Indebtedness of Mr. Devlin and his companies. This insurance has all been kept in force and we confidently expect that when the proper proof of death is established that the Insurance will be paid over to the receiver of the bank. When the insurance is available the payment of a dividend to the creditors will be made.

Will Be Some Delay. "Of course there will be some delay caused by making the distribution and certain formalities murt be complied with. I have not yet examined the policies to ascertain the time given the companies for settlement. The usual time is from 60 to 90 days from the date on which the claim is established. ''The companies which Issued these policies are all sound and among the strongest in the country.

The companies and the amounts of the policies are as follows: jnuiuai Benefit Life Ins. New 25,000 urs, National Life Ins. MontDelier. Vt 10,000 Provident Life Trust Philadelphia 10,000 Mass. Mutual Life Ins.

Springfield New York Life, New 157,000 Mutual Life Ins. New 2S3.000 State Mutual Life Assurance Worcester, Mass 33,000 Union Central, Cincinnati 10,000 Germanla Life Ins. New 50,000 Michigan Mutual Detroit 6,000 Metropolitan Life Ins. New York 81,000 Phoenix Mutual Life. Hartford 55,000 "There is some doubt as to when the insurance will be available, for some of it, or much of it, is to be made in payment provided for in the policies.

One certain policy, it is known, provides for 20 payments. The insurance that Is to be paid in instalments can be discounted and collected at once. "One policy, for $30,000, provided for un-nual payments. Sometime last winter Mr. Devlin arranged to have the payments of the premiums made semi-annually.

One premium was due in June and was not Later a tender If the premium was made by the receivers after the failure and was accepted and the policy is probably in force." WAS EXPECTED HOME TODAY. Preparation Made at Devlln'i la's Late Home for His Comings Charles J. Devlin left Topeka on August 1, and he was expected to be in Topeka again on November 1, just 90 days later. Preparations were made at the Devlin home, at Thirteenth and Topeka avenues, for the return of Mr. and Mrs.

Devlin yesterday and but for the sudden death of Mr. Devlin they would have reached here yesterday. Afr. and Mrs. Devlin, and their children, left Topeka on the morning of August 1.

The last seen of Mr. Devlin in Topeka was when he was pacing up and down on the platform of the Santa Fe depot, waiting for the arrival of No. 8, which was delayed several hours. Mrs. Devlin was walking with her husband and shielding him from questions concerning his business affairs which would worry him.

Mr. and Mrs. Devlin were accompanied by Miss Blossom and Charles Devlin, Ethel Devlin stopped in Kansas City to visit with the family of Mrs. Devlin's brother, John Miller. Inez and Ruth Devlin, the youngest children, were taken by two sisters to the convent at Sisini-wah Mound, Wis.

At different times ail of the Devlin children have attended this, convent. DID NOT WISH TO LEAVE. Mr. Devlin did not wish to leave Topeka and did not leave until almost a month after his physician had urged him to leave. When he did go it was on account of the urging of his wife that he consented to leave the scenes of his business activity and his business troubles.

When the crash came in the business affairs of Mr. Devlin Mrs. Devlin signed over all the insurance to the creditors, but it was found by the attorneys that all of the insurance, excepting that finally assigned to the First National bank, was made payable to Mrs. Devlin and the children and she could not sign It over. Mrs.

Devlin was the daughter of the late Henry J. Miller, of Spring Valley, 111. She was one of the heirs to his very valuable estate and she is wealthy in her own right. Mrs. Devlin's father was one of the substantial citizens of Bureau county.

111., bevlng a very large land owner. In the Immediate vicinity of Spring Valley he owned nearly 1,000 acres of fine fine farming land. In addition to this he owned a large body of land In Nebraska, besides many houses, lots and pieces of land In Spring Valley and vicinity. He was largely interested in the general busi ness of the town and county. For many years, and up to the date of his he conducted a large lumber yard.

He was vice-president and director In the Spring Valley National bank, a director in the Marquette Third Vein Coal company. a director in the Devlin Coal company, director in the Toluca, Marquette North era railway, beside other interests. Mrs. Devlin was one of four children who in herited the estate. WILL HAVE XO EFFECT.

Cyrus Lelaad Says Devlla's Death Will Not CTnena-e Recclvera' Plans. Cyrus Leland, one of the receivers of the Devlin properties, said yesterday: "The death of Mr. Devlin will have no effect whatever on the business in charge of the receivers. In law the receivers hold the estate and the death of Mr. Devlin makes no change.

The receivers have no Insurance policies in their charge, all the Insurance being held by the receiver of the First National bank and by Mra Devlin. The insurance will help the bank out to the extent of half a million dollars more than the policies could have been surrendered for. The creditors meeting will be held December 19 just the same and the only difference will be that there will be no statement from Mr. Devlin. The receivers have nothing to do with the audit being made by Hasklns Sells.

That is being made at the instigation of Mr. Dev lin ana lr it is found that the assets exceed the liabilities by a million then the company may underwrite the business. This audit has not been completed." FATHER HAYDEN WILL, GO. Father Hayden of the Church of the Assumption, who was with Mr. Devlin In Europe, said last night: I left Mr.

Devlin only last Wednesday in New York. He was in the best of health and la high spirits and anxious to get to work. He wanted to get back to Topeka as soon as possible and take up his business. He was very anxious to ret back here. He had some to lock "after In New Tork and was then coming- to Topeka as soon as possible, "I received a telegram this morals MARVELOUS DISCOVERY FOR THE CURE OF ALL FORMS OF CONSTIPATION HOT A HABIT BUT A CURE YOU DECREASE THE DOSE UNTIL CURED.

(Continued from Page One.) many wealthy Jews were wrecked. Thf Jews now threaten to massacre the Christians tomorrow." A dispatch to a news agency from Odessa describes that city as having experienced a dreadful day. the defenseW-Ks populace being at the mercy of a howlli'r and armed rabble of 60.000 men. themselves loyalists and led by distinguished policemen and their wretclie 1 dupes. The dispatch savs: "The Jews made a stout resistence, an.l their successful bravery entailed lamentable sacrifices.

It is impossible to ascertain the ca-sualties, but rumor put tl. number of killed and wounded as high a 2,000, many by bombs, which the mols used wholesale. Not until late at nislit. when the murderous work had gone for hours, were the trooj brought, cordons placed around the Jewish quarter and quiet somewhat rstor-ti. The lawabiding citizens are incensed wlih Governor General Kaulbars, who Is h-M to be solely repponsible.

since the civil governor was deposed yesterday. Th only hope is that the worst has passed, in all probability the mobs have neatly exhausted their stock of cartridges." GENERAL SHOT DEAD. The Odessa correspondent of the Standard tells a similar tale. He says: "A general who was leading a loyalist procession in the Alexander prospect wax shot dead. Half the company of Cossack forming a personal guard for the town residence of their commander attempted Ibarricade the street for the purpose of defense, but were scattered by a bomb and the Cossack commander fld from the vengeance of the crowd In civilian alllr.

"The absence of street lighting, an overcast sky added to the horrors. In the street after nightfall there were ever recurring savage cries from near and far. mingled with the rattle of small arms. It was supposed that martial law would be relmposed at noon, but I have seen only a couple of military patrols. Martial law without troops to enforce Its execution I a grim farce, and heavy responsibility on the shoulder of Governor General Ka- rulbars.

An official note was issued to-nifrht that persons found on the street without authority after o'clock wcra liable to be shot at fight by the patrol. It Is reported casualties will reach l.UOO, but it Is Impossible to verify this report. The last bomb thrown in Beribaae street killed fifteen and wounded forty. Within tn minutes eight others ware klll'-i nearly on the aarne spot. The Jews aie said to be the only persons who have resorted to the throwing of bomb, but th.

-Bosses Murphy and Odell, leaders of Democratic and Republican machines, bot together. The people wanted Jerome, either for mayor or for district attorney again, they did not care which, nor by which party. They did not even dream of such a thing as refusal on the part of the bosses to give them the man, they wanted. But the bosses a bargain. They would have none of eromer neither for mayor nor for anything else.

They agreed to turn him down. They did turn him down. And then the roar began; then the populace of oGtham began to howl. This bit of boss bargaining effrontery was too much even for easy-going, pleasure-loving New York. It touched the match to the tinder of popular passions and made 'all ready for the conflagration by graft and scandal.

The people said to themselves: "What! These impudent bosses refuse to give us the man we want! They turn him down! They presume to dictate whom we shall or shall not vote for! We'll show Thus the roar started and it kept roaring ever since. The more the people think about it the angrier they grow. The whole town is mad, crazy, daffy with anger eager to swing the club next week asd hit the bosses and their friends, the grafters, right between the eyes. If either of the bosses had had sense enough to placate the people by naming Jerome there would have been no upheaval. The fuse would not have been touched to the mine.

There would have followed a complacent camgaign. Tammany holding the city and Odell getting the assembly at Albany, quite in acordance with traditions and the desires of the manipulators of their backers down in the financial district. The short-sighted bosses thought they had everything their way. They had Jerome In a pocket and would easily dispose of him. But the people rallied to his support.

He was placed in independent nomination. He has made a whirlwind campaign. He slangs and whangs. He calls a spade a spade. He promises to put the insurance grafters in jail.

The town is wild over Jerome. He Is gaining hourly. Despite the fact that he is on no regular ticket, despite the fact that he has to stand or fall on the Tammany Bronx it does not now seem possible to beat him. That is what the American people will do when they are really stirred up. A warning to all grifters and bosses who ever would thwart the popular will and destroy a public officer who is too fearless and efficient to suit their purposes.

To smash Tammany by putting Jerome back in office was not enough to give full expression to the anger of the people. For Mayor McClellan personally they had a great deal of liking and respect. But he was a part of Tammany system, and so they went after hi mtoo. A great cry arose for a man the man to save New York. Where was the man Odell, shrewd leader that he is, saw an opportunity.

He tried to improve it by getting Hughes, the insurance inquisitor, to run for mayor. If Hughes had accepted he would have swept the town. NO one else would have been in it. But Hughes declined out of a sense of duty. And then Odell picked up a respectable back number, a man of twenty years ago, Mr.

Ivins. Neither McClellan nor Ivins fills the bill. Neither suits the public because both are supposed to be tarred with the bosses' stick. And still the cry was for the man. Then Editor Hearst came on the scene as the nominee of the Municipal Ownership league.

At first no one recognized him as the man. Indeed the prevailing belief was that he was not the man at all, that he would never do. But the storm of indignation and anger, eager to get a prack at both the bosses and both of the old huckstering machines, has turned to Hearst. He is being carried on the crest of the wave of popular discontent. His campaign is characteristic, picturesque, intensely interesting.

He has scared Tammany. He has scared Odell. He has thrown both of the oil machines into a panic. The wave may not be quite strong enough to throw him into the mayor's chair, but it will come very near it, and it may do the trick. With certain other features of this remarkable popular upheaval, particularly those which are pushing the yellow editor close to a most unexpected political triumph, I shall deal In a future dispatch.

Walter Wellman Says Old Parties Totter Amid a Popular Upheaval Against Graft TAHHANY IS NOW HATED Tide of Anger at Stealing in High Places Will Smash All That's In May Elect Hearst VU1SV Ae- In, his special from New York, to the Record Herald: "One of the mightiest and most passionate popular upheavals known to the ristory of politics in the metropolis is now in progress. If it roars and irumbles on as it Is now going for another week the outcome next Tuesday will be municipal revolution, a smashing defeat of both the old political parties and the triumph of two independents Jiromft and Hearst. District Attorney Jerome is well nigh sure of success, and, strange as it may seem, and despite the betting odds or zv to 1 ic-Clellan's favor. Editor Hearst's chances to win the mayoralty are as good as the (Tammany candidate's.

I have not yet satisfied myself Hearst Is the leader, and do not now predict his election. But he la running neck and neck with McClellan, and Ivins, the Republican standard-bearer, is far behind. The betting odds on McClellan, which have held at 3 to 1 for a week, are absurd. Already they have begun to droop, and before the end of the week' I predict they will get down to a ra- nonai ngure eomttwiuis vo even uiuik against the field. And if the current of public passion continues a few days longer at Its present voltage Hearst will be an odds-on favorite by Sunday, and barring treachery, will be elected Mayor of Greater New York a week from tomorrow.

If his election came to pass the triumph of Jerome in New York county and the Bronx, and of Hearst in the greater city it will be a wonderful thing. It will be a revolution, the like of which neither the metropolis nor any other great American city has ever witnessed. Imagine, If you can, a man without a party, running on his record, on his individuality, beating out both the Republican and Democratic -nominees for the presidency of the United States; and another man, also without a rartv. and runninar on another independent ticket, smashing both the old organizations and wltuilg the vice presidency. Then you would have something comparable to the dramatic', the picturesque, the immensely suggestive situation which exists In.

this city today. Such extraordinary conditions could not become even probable without extraordinary causes. The causes have been extraordinary. And In this dispatch I shall onrienvnr. In ranld wav.

to show how and why the public mind has been, driven and provoked Into its present phenomenal attitude. The mental attitude of the people of New York today Is one of protest angry, Indignant protest against grafting In public office, grafting in high finance, grafting In lire insurance, DriDery in legislatures and boards of aldermen, "rake-offs and get-rich-qulck" in manipulation of the ceoDle a money. It is a determination to hit with a club the Domical bosses who have made this system possible the bosses who have "stood" and gained wealth from corporations and contracts and from franchise peddling here in the city and up at the state capltol in Albany. it Is a proetst against Tammany and Murphy here at home and against the Republican state machine and Boss Odell at Albany and as Murphy's side partner In manipulation of politics, with money in it, in this town. As one of the shrewdest men In New York put It to me today: "We nre not voting for anybody; we are simply swinging a club against men and methods we abhor.

To get rid of them we would vote for the devil himself." This is the spirit of protest abroad in the community "a plague on both your houses" and It is a spirit which runs strong and deep enough virtually to insure the success of Jerome, and which gives some promise of going to the-very flood and putting Hearst into the mayor's hoJr Greatest of all the combination of causes underlying this eruption I the Insurance graft. There are times when I pause to stronghold alone Manhattan and the wonder if the men, who have been guilty of maladmlnls'ratlon of "the sacred trusts' reposed in them and who have complacently and Industriously taken their rake-offs and their $100,000 and $150,000 salaries, real-1 he what the "common people" think of them. And if they ever do realize It they Will want to throw themselves Into the Hudson river after making wills In which they leave all their ill-gotten dollars In Cstltutlon to the widows and orphans they ive defrauded. For the "common the men who Kvork for wages, the men who are corn-walled tn nraotlce self-denial. th man rtnYn toll andl save and plan week after week and year after year to take care of their families and make both ends meet, simply loathe and detest all these rich grafters, whether in life Insurance, In Wall street or la politics.

They abhor them much as they do a man who strikes a woman or cheats a blind man, or steals the coppers from the ayes of a corpse. And their loathing of all this sort of graft in Jhigh jfclaces Is largely responsible far the "political earthquake now rumbling in the bowels of Manhattan Island.

Admitting that rebates are given to shippers in the Call fornia fruit service by practically all pri vate car lines, J. S. Leeds, general man ager of the Santa Fe Refrigerator Dis patch, enlivened the inquiry being conducted here by the Interstate Commerce commission to show the relations between railroads and companies engaged in the bwsintiss of refrigerating freight in transit. Mr. Leeds said these rebates were neces sary to his company because all his competitors were granting them.

He asserted that he could not break up the practice wunoui precipitating a rate war. The testimony today was confined to the business of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad and the Santa Fe Refrigerator Dispatch, which corporations, according to officials of both who were on the stand, are owned by the same interests. Mr. Leeds occupied the witness stand the greater part of the day and was followed by Edward Chambers, freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe railroad, who prefaced a mass of unimportant testimony with the statement that the stock of the corporations mentioned ig owned by the same interests and that' the corporations have the same president. The commission this afternoon ordered the taking of the deposition of Edward T.

Earl of Los Angeles, November 10. Attorney Urion for the Armour car lines, again endeavored to hive fixed a date for closing the testimony but his motion was denied. DEVLIN DIES ON WAY TO TOPEKA (Continued from Page One.) 1S5L His parents were Irish. While he was a child his parents moved to La Salle county, Illinois, and established their future home. There under the careful guidance of an anxious mother who possessed those traits of character common to her countrymen, the child was reared and was more than the usual moral and menuprtraining.

He was put In the Academy of the Vinonhian Brothers at Peru, 111., where he received a thorough education and so rapid was his progress while there that he was given a place in the offices of the Union Coal company while still a child. Here the fundamental and technical principles of his future profession were instilled into him and before many years had passed he become so thoroughly acquainted with the business and so indispensable to his employers that he was given a good sized block of 'stock in the company. Hia skill and great energy in developing the Interests of the concern in which he was now a stockholder and the remarkable success attending his efforts soon attracted attention to him and it was not long till the millionaire mine operator owner, Scott, of Pennsylvania sought the young operator to help develop the coal fields of Illinois. His Start as a Coal Stagnate. Thirty thousand acres of coal land in La Salle and Bureau counties were purchased and Mr.

Devlin was given charge of the operation and development of these interests. The company was incorporated as the Spring Valley Coal company. Then the restless energy of the young manager soon began to tell. The rapidity with which the town of Spring Valley sprang up Is still a matter of comment. The First National bank of Spring Valley was! organized with Mr.

Devlin in full charge and from the start it never lacked investors who were only too glad to have some of the stock which was always a profitable investment until the final crash came shortly after the failure of the First National bank of Topeka. Mr. Devlin found himself fully occupied with the Interests for several years. Soon labor troubles arose and in the handling of these troubles Mr. Devlin created the barrier that was finally to cause him to sever his connections with Scott interests.

The just and humane manner in which he treated with striking miners at this time was so unusual as to cause widespread comment and Mf. Devlin became quite as noted for the way he handled a strike and dealt with his men as he was noted for the way he operated and developed the mines. He became the object of condemnation and hatred of the other operators throughout the great mining centers. It was during these troubles that he displayed the fact that he possessed physical as well as moral courage. With only one or two helpers he faced an infuriated mob of strikers and alone descended with food and supplies into a mine to the relief of some men who had been imprisoned there by a mob.

Mr. Devlin's course in dealing with the men soon put him out of harmony with the Scott Interests and as he had received repeated requests from the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad company, through its president. Mr. Allen Manvil. to become manager "of the company's properties, he severed his connections with the Spring Valley company in 18S9 and accepted the position offered by the Santa Fe, m.

Leased the Mines. After the Santa Fe receivership ten years ago the railroad company stopped mining and leased its coal properties to Mr. Devlin. He already owned mines in Illinois and later bought others in Kansas and Missouri. These he organized into the Mount Carmel Coal company.

He was a big operator at the time of the long strike in 1S97. The miners and the big coal companies bad a long battle over the question of recognition of the union, the United Mine Workers of America. The men wanted a small advance In pay. The other big operators refused It. The worst trouble was in the southeastern Kansas field.

Devlin sat around with the miners, talked things over and then with some other operators made contract with the mine workers. While the Kansas and Texas company and the Gould mining companies were bringing negro miners from Alabama and the strikers were shooting at them the Devlin miners were working two In a room- or nis in era iook a sinner into partnership. Two men worked where one did work ordinarily. The coal supply was short. Extensive coal users would Day almost any price and soon Devlin male money so fast that he hardly knew what He wa making.

"Then Mr. Devlin spread out, purchasing other coal properties.

Lindsay, who was Mr. Dev lin's physician during his illness in Topeka and who attended him when he suffered the first stroke of paralysis, in June, said yesterday: "I urged Mr. Devlin to go to Ireland and I hoped that he would stay there until interested parties accomplished something that would straighten out his tangled affairs and therehy relieve nun of worry.

"And said the lonsorial artist in conclusion, "I will give you a facial massage with Hlxon Coco-mint." The Chicago Coagreiis. From the Hutchinson News. A convention has been called to meet In Chicago this week to crvstallize the support of President Roosevelt's position in favor of giving the Interstate Commerce commission the power to fix maximum rates ween present rates are found to be unjust.

The railroads opposed to this policy and organizations of shipper who have been receiving favors and conces sions that enable tnem to overcome com netltlon. are preparing to send delegates to this conference hoping to capture it or make trouble. They are sending out circulars exhorting opponents of Roosevelt's policy to come to the meeting and in Kansas City they have openly declared that theee delegates shall resist an indorsement of the President. Their evident purpose is to make the country believe that shippers and manufacturers are opposed to Roosevelt. They say they favor "free speech" and therefore they will go to the convention unaer the call.

They mean that they favor a "rough house" and a bolt from a convention in whlnh they have no right. The call for the convention Is for delegates from commercial bodies and from Governors of states in sympathy with President Roosevelt and his policy. The attempt to pack the convention with of this object may result In a fight, but if the supporters of the President follow the methods of their champion. It will be all the worse for the "butters Kansas will be well represented at this meeting In Chicago and the people of Kansas will expect their representatives to stand strictly by the President and demand from Congress the powers needed to give the Interstate Commerce commission the ability to put into effect "the square READ THIS Hantsville, Sept. 18, 102.
