loved James S. Craig, a boarder in the
Olive street house, whose furniture
Shule had bought for her.

Hartford, Conn., June 1.—"John D.
Rockefeller, by crime, has amassed a for-
tune whose size Is barely known to him-
self and his bookkeepers," was one of the
statements of Willard Clark Fisher, pro-
fessor of economics In Wesleyan univer-
sity and mayor of Mlddletown Wednes-
day night before the Central Labor Un-
ion of Hartford, speaking on the sub-
ject of "Why I Approve of Trade
Unions." A year or so ago. he declared
Mr. Rockefeller, when on the grill for a
short time, confessed that his Income was
$10,000,000 a year. "Think of It," said
the professor-mayor, "this represents the
annual Income of 15.000 to 16,000 of the
average American working men.
"Andrew Carnegie," he said. Is known
to have sold his steel holdings—It Is
spelled s-t-e-e-1 holdings for $635,000,000.
which was gained from the labor of thou-
sands of working men pushed to their
utmost capacity In his mills. For a long
time he stood at the head of the tax
list of New York City, having stated his EXPENSIVE BATH
property at $5,000,000, only about two-
thirds of his annual income, and yet the
world's most generous man developed this
•unevenness.
"The cause of labor unions should en-
list the sympathy of all minds," said
the profeBsor-mayor. "It is dangerous
either to harm or to break organized
labor."
New York, June 1.—The steamship

The story of the suicide was told by
Rafael Strikowsky, a young man living
at 147 Rutledge street, Brooklyn, whr
occupied the same cabin with Reimeri
from Hamburg. Strikowsky said thai
both he and Relmers arose early Mon-
day morning but that Relmers did not
go to breakfast. When he camo ' ack
ha found the older man writing lettars
and left him undisturbed. At 11 o'clock
he was still writing. About 4 o'clock
in the afternoon Strikowsky returned n
third time and this time found the < lhin ^
door fastened with a chain on the inside.
He called the ship's steward to unfasten
the chain. They entered together to tinri
