A AMERICAN 3 WHK fe By I BEAS American Naval Chinese Journal Special Service. Chicago, Oct. 30.Behind the death at Wesley hospital Sunday of William J. Sherman, a student at the University of Chicago, lies a romance and a controversy which is agitating fraternity and other circles at the university.

Sherman, who was a member of them class of '05, died after an operation for appendicitis, which was performed at the hospital, against the protest of the nurse who attended him, and to whom after develoments show the young man was to have been married. It is nowVsadnik shown that the attending physician erred in his diagnosis that the nurse was justified in her protest, and that the young man was not suffering from appendicitis, but from typhoid fever, which had left him in such a weak con- cliUon that death a8 a Tesult of the operation was a foregone conclusion. Sherman was 24 years old. His home was in Washington, Iowa. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and was at the house of the Chicago chapter about six weeks ago, when taken ill.

He was removed to the hospital and Miss Helen Crosby, a graduate of the Nurses' Training school, arranged to care for him. A physician of Sherman's fraternity took charge of his case, and, following a diagnosis of para-typnoid fever, concluded Oct. 19 that an operation for appendicitis was indicated, verdict Sherman consented, but it is asserted that Miss Crosby declared that the symptoms were not those of appen anconditiothetpatient that was in no physical withstand the shock of the operation.

LYNCHING LAID TO "THE CLANSMAN" Georgia Mob, Wrought by Dixon's Story, Hangs Negro Murderer. Journal Special Service. Bainbridge, Oct. up to a high pitch of anger against negroes by the presentation of Thomas A. Dixon's play, "The Clansman," last week, a mob of 300 men stormed the jail at midnight, took out Gus Goodman, a negro who had fatally shot Sheriff Stogall, and lynched him.

The lynchers were not masked. Goodman, on Saturday afternoon, shot and killed a negro woman, and when Sheriff Stegall attempted to arrest him, wounded the official. Another officer arrested the negro. A number of men held a meeting and determined to lynch the negro if the physician found the sheriff's wound proved fatal. A mob formed, and when, at midnight, the doctors declared Stegall would die, it moved on the jail at once, and thirty minutes later the negro was lynched.

The sheriff died as the negro was lynched. The feeling against negroes, never kindly, has been embittered by the Dixon play, following which stories of negroes' depredations during the reconstruction period have been revived, and Patient whites have been wrought up to a high tension.

McClellan's. reflection now seems reasonably certain His own future in politics will depend upon the size of his vote. He could hope to be a presidential nominee on the strength of a majority between 5,000 and 10,000, which is all the late Tammany estimates give him. Hearst's future will depend upon the size of the municipal ownership vote. The indications it will be very large, perhaps exceeding that cast for Judge Ivins, republican nominee for mayor.

If this should turn out to be the case Hearst's political fortunes will take a decided upward trend. The disastrous defeats of Ivins would undoubtedly imperil Odell's ascendency. A Tammany Trick. The comment of Ivins men on the Tammany estimate above referred to throws a sidelight on the contest that is informing.

Kansas City, Oct. 30.At least thirteen persons were killed and twen-jw o'clock last night for the far west, was ditched today near Sheffield, six miles from Kansas City. The wreck occurred in a cut while the train was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour and was caused by spreading rails.

The train was made up of vestibuled cars, and while, in a measure, the vestibules prevented telescoping, the speed of the train was so great that it caused several cars to pile on top of each other, tearing out the connection. The wreckage was piled high and under it scores of passengers and members of the crew were buried. Relief trains carrying many physicians "were sent out from Kansas City shortly before noon and preparations made to bring the dead and injured to Kansas City. SCOTT'S WAY OPEN TO INDIAN SCHOOL PLACE By W. W.

Jermane. Washington, Oct. 30.A suggestion was made at the interior department today, but not officially presented to the secretary, that Major Scott could be appointed superintendent of the Leech Lake schools and the agency abolished. There is a general provision in the law under which the status of the ageney can be changed, but there is a question whether Major Scitt, being an officer, could come in the same class as a civilian agen for appointment as superintendent. Should Secretary Hitchcock decide to appoint Major Scott superintendent, he not have to pass thru a fire of opposition from the Minnesota senators, as ndian superintendents are in the classified service and are not presidential WOMAN WRECKS A SALOON, Michigan City, Oct.
