THREW MONEY AWAY
Young Fowler's Suit Case Con
taining $5,600 Found by Police.
Two Red Bandanna Handkerchiefs
Which Had Been Pierced With Eye
holes, Also Found In tho Woods
Indications Point to Murderers ai
Being Employes of the Brick Com
pany None cf the Robbers Hal
Been Apprehended.
The bandits who murdered young
Denton Fowler, assistant treasurer ol
the Atlas Building Material company
near Newburgh, N. Y., Saturday aft
ernoon, fled through the woods In
such haste that they dropped tht
treasurers suit case containing 5,
(ii)0 in (cold, silver and bills. Tho po
lice found the bag- Sunday morning
while beating up the woods.
In addition to the bag they found
the weapons the robbers had used Id
the killing, a Winchester repeating
liflo, a shotgun, two revolvers, twe
imps such as Italian laborers com
monly wear in this part of the coun
try and two red bandanna handker
chiefs which had been pierced with
eyeholes and used for masks. ,
The trail of two of the assassin,
led in a wide course to the brickyard,
where 150 of (lie employes Italians.
Hungarians, Polos, largely had been
w ait Ins for Dent Fowler's approach
with their three weeks' pay.
The discovery of ihe suitcase, the
rifle, shotgun and revolvers, etc., to
gether with the trail of the two men,
indicate almost conclusively that em
ployes of the Atlns company, Italians
almostly certainly, were the men wht
ambushed Fowler and his negro driv
er. These, the police think, had the
audacity to run in behind the disai,.
pearlng brjekmakers and Join in the
hunt.
Lane believes that at. least two
possibly more cf the brlckmakers, de
tached themselves from the crowd
sometime in the morning, slipped
about 500 yards southward and wait
ed in the sir-all clearing for Fowler.
Kane's party found that 5 or 6 men
bad squatted there for some time.
Tbe clearing was within a few steps
of tbe narrow little traveled road
tbrough which pent Fowler and Driv
er Hagsdnle were to pass, bi(t so tiicl;
grown were the trees and bushes that
the spot could not have been seen
from the road,
None of the robbers had beeu ap
prehended. SENATOR HEMMED IN BY FIRE

MARRIAGE DATE FIXED
Miss Elkins and Duke of the Ab
ruzzi to Wed In February.
It Is Understood That Before Hei
Wedding Miss Elkins Will Havt
Conferred Upon Her the Title 01
Countess of Teramo Bride-to-Bi
Will Also Become a Member of tht
Catholic Church Marriage Portlor
Will Be $5,000,000.
Paris, Sept. 6. The date for tin
Wedding of MJss Katherine Elkins and
tb.3 Duke of the Abruzzi has been
fixed Cor the latter part of February
of next year, according to rexrtt
in circulation here, which seem to be
absolutely reliable. It is stated that
the date was decided upon after a con
sultation between the prospoctivt
brldegrocin nnd his brother, the Duke
of Aosta. The meeting took place at
Venice cn Aug. 2 and was carefully
kept from the public until now.
There is every reason to believe
that the Duchess Of Aosta, who frorr
the first has strenuously opposed the
match, hns at last withdrawn her op
position and has abandoned her pro
posed second trip to Africa, which
was planned with the Idea of avoiding
being present at the wedding.
Duke Will Visit Elkins Family.
Within 10 days the Duke of the
Abruzzi will pay a visit to the Klkint
family here nnd at that time arrange
mcnts will be made for the presenta
tion of the senator's family to the
Italian royal household.
In order to avoid newspaper publici
ty as much as possible the presenta
tion will lake place at some obscure
town in Italy and the date will be
kept a secret until after the ceremo
nies. It is understood that before hei
marriage Miss Klklns will have con
ferred upon her the title of Countesf
of Teramo, in honor of one of the
largest towns In the Abruzzi district.
The statement is made at. the same
tlmo that Miss Klklns will become a
menfber of the Roman Catholic
church and already plans for her in
struction in that faith have been
made. Her religions Instructor will
be Mgr. Beccarl. the royal chaplain,
and he will be aided in the work by
M?r. Bisletl, who is well known in
Europe as one of the pope's personal
ministers as well as a close friend ol
the supreme pontiff. They have al
ready agreed to undertake the task
of converting Miss Elkins to the
Catholic faith and it is understood
that she will be placed under their
tutelage in a very short time.
The financial arrangements which
go with the marriage have been at
tended to and It is announced that
the matter has been satisfactorily set
tled so far as both parties are con
cerned. The marriage portion will be
So, 000,000, which is not considered
extraordinary In amount here in view
of the rank of the prospective bride
groom and the wealth of Senator
Elkins.
All of the arrangements thus far
made have been the result of nego
tiations between Lieutenant Marquis
Negrotto de Camblaso, as the repre
sentative of his personal friend, the
Duke of the Abruzzi, and Senator
Elkins himself or some agent acting
for him with full power to sign any
agreement arrived at.
All Details Have Been Worked Out.
While It has been Impossible thus
far to got official confirmation of all
this, Paris Is firmly convinced that
the wedding Is to take place as stated
and that all the details have been
worked out and agreed by all parties
concerned.
A call was made at tho Italian em
bassy here today and the facts as out
lined here were laid before the offi
cials with the request that the rr imrta
be confirmed or denied. This was met
with the statement that the members
of the embassy staff were unable to
confirm but that they would not deny
that the wedding was to take place.
lq private conversation one olficial
talked In a tone that, tpnded strongly
to confirm the whole matter.
