It Is Possible That Knockout Drops May Have Caused Denver- Millionaire's Death—Traces of a Strong Irritant Poison Found. NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-—Three men have been arrested on suspicion of knowing something of the death of Millionaire Frank” P. Arbuckle of Denver, who was found unconscious in a lonely Harlem spot yesterday morning and who died while be ing removed to the station house; The autopsy made by Coroner’s Physi- clan O’Hanlon has further complicated matters in the mysterious death. It showed the presence of what looked to be an irritant poison, and the theory was at once suggested by the police that he was a. victim of knockout drops; that the dose given was too strong feta. man of such weak heart action, and that death was the result. At the same time, however, the autopsy showed that the seeming poison might have been generated by thediffesont parts of the body on account of excessive drink- mg. As matters stand now, the murder. theory will not be settled until after Pro- fessor Withaus has made a chemical analy- sis of the stomach, which has already been handed over to him. ' Central office detectives, working in conjunction with Captain Kirschner of the West One Hundred and Fifty-second Street station, arreswd the three men who are suspected of having something to do with the death of Mr. Arhuekle. The prisoners remained locked up at po- lice head garters all night, snd‘today were taken to ariem police court. The names they gave were George Sto- vens, 53 years old, a saloon keeper, of 344 East One Hundred and Twenty-third street; Joseph Davidson, 8. stenographer, of 227 East Twelfth ska-set, and Frederick Mengen, 24 years old, a bartender, of 602 East Eleventh street. F Captain O’Brien Yesterday morning de- tailed Detectives Vallely, Mangin, Murphy, Dale and Thompson to investigate the Ar- buckle case. The detceflius traced some of his doings Wednesday night. Arbnctlo's not Night. The point visited which appeamd to throw some light on the mystery was the Luchow, a well known saloon at Irving place and Fourteenth street. It was ascertained that Mr. Arbueklc Hwas at that resort during Wednesday even- ing and up to 11 o’clock, and that he had been in the componyef Stevens, an alleged gambler, and two young men, Davidson and Meagan. ‘ The detectives first anestcd Stevens. He was taken to headquarters and arraigned before Acting Sergeant Pfaehler, in the detective bureau, to whom he denied ever having met or known a man by the name of Arbuckle. While Stevens’ pedigree was being taken Davidson was brought in by another de- tective, and this prisoner at once recognized Stevens with the words: “Hello, George! You’re in trouble over that man Arbuckle, too, are you?” Stevens grow pale at this greeting and mumbled something in reply, and the de- tectives immediately took more interest in Stevens than they'hitherto had. , Davidson told the officers that he was with Mr. Arbuckle, and that they bad name an agreement to meet Thursday morning for a llwie sport, but that since they had reported at the Luchow Wednes-. day night he had not seen Mr. Arbuckle. Half an hour later Frederick Manson was brought in a prisoner in the detective bureau, and he furnished an additiona olew to the police. ~ . He said that Stevens, while at the Four- teenth street place on Wednesday night, was trying to make an arrangement to get Mr. Arbnckle into a gambling game some- where up town, but Mongol: did not know what had been the remit. ’ During the mminsflon of the prison- ers before the desk it developed that Men- gen was'not on good terms with Stevens and Davidson, particularly the latter. He said they had a quarrel at the Luchow, which resulted in Mengen’s punching Davidson’sfs’oe and then leaving the saloon in ahufi‘. Captain O’Brien stated that was as far as his detectives had got along with the case. O'Brien’s Suspicious. He regarded the emphatic denial of Stevens that he never had met Mr. Arbuc- kle or bend of him as a very suspicious dreamstmce. “What I am trying to find out now,” said Captain O’Brien, “is Where Mr. Ar- buokie spent his time after he left the Luohow at 11 o’clock Wednesday night. “I am trying to find out whether any of the three prisoners I have under arrest were with him after they took their leave from the Imehow. “I undcstand they the story the prisoners tell, in front ofthe saloon. ” The prisoners in charge of the detectives were taken to Haflem police court and, turned over to Captain ‘Kirschner. Charles Butler, 23 years old, colomd, and a hostler, who was arrested on an i- oion of kndwmg something about t e tragic death of Mr. Arbuckle, was ar- raigned today in the Harlem police cont. ' Coptam Kirsebner told Magistrate Brann that he had no evidence to connect the prisoner with Mr. Arbuokle’s mysteri- ous death. Butler was accordingly dis- charged. It is one of the theories of the police that some one who had seen Arbuckle display his money in George La Grange’s saloon at 117 West Thirty -fcurt-h street followed him and enticed him to take an elevated rail- road car up town, with the intention of robbing him in some lonely place. Arbuckle left La Grange’s place at 11 o’clock Wednesday night, and that was the last heard of him alive. _ Inquiries made by the police showed that before entering La range’s place Arbuckle had been drinking in some of the saloons lit-Fourteenth street and Third avenue. At 6 o’clock he was seen by Jan- itor Kelly at Tammany hall. At 7 o’clock he was seen getting his shoes 'sbined and talking to two women at the Fourteenth street corner. At 8 o’clock he was in Parker’s academy, where he played pool and drank heavily. A pretty hard gang was around him then, and hewvas buying drinks for the men and showing the roll of money. Aft- er leaving he started for La Grange’s place. The next seen of him was when Rounds- man McLaughlin found. him dying in the vacant lot. , 1,. pasted, according to‘ Has Relatives in Norwalk. ~.

A Reporter’s Experience With a Worse IVhiz'zen than a Bicycle. How it feels to be caught up in n. cy- clone is graphically described by Dr. W. F. Michael, as reported by the Philadelphia Record. The doctor’s ad- venture occurred at Sherman, Texas. He was driving through a cemetery when a cloud loomed up before him, coming directly his way. He sprang A from the carriage, unfastened the , traces, turned the horse loose, and . started to run for a place of safety. He had gone but fifty feet before the storm was upon him. The doctor’s own words are: I heard a roaring sound when the storm was two miles or so distant, but it was beyond the hill, and I didn’t discover that I was right in its path until it reached the nearest hill, from a half to three-quarters of a mile south of me. , ‘It looked like a great ball of vapor rolling over and over, and seemed to be about two hundred and fifty yards wide and one hundred feet high. . Vhatever it struck was lifted right up from the ground. I saw the effects as it came to house after house between the hill and me. When the ball reached Mr. Chisholm's house it went- up in the air off its foundations. It was whole until it was up ten or fif- teen feet. Then it Went all to pieces, just as if it had exploded. The same thing happened to the other houses. AbOve and around this rolling ball of cloud the air was full of bits of boards, tree limbs and other things Which had been gathered up. WhenJhe ball reached me I had got to the east fence of the cemetery, and had thrown myself down beside it. ' ‘All at once the bright daylight disap- : peared, and I was in total darkness. The picket fence, posts and all, was lifted up and came down flat upon me. Then two trees fell on the fence. In a few seconds the trees went up in the air, and the fence followed. _ . I felt myself drawn up off the ground by some. invisible force. I didn’t lose consciousness. It was 'so dark I couldn’t tell how high I went, but I was high enough to escape the monuments in the cemetery, and also the tree tops, perhaps forty feet from the ground. As I went along in the air I tried to keep an 'upright position, but couldn’t. Something kept turning me over and over ‘11 one somersault after another. I passed almost over the cemetery be- fore I struck the ground. I came down easily at an incline, just as if I were being lowered in the tail of the storm. But I was still moving along, and when I hit the ground I went over. and over for at least thirteen feet. The lessening force would raise me a little, and then let me back, until, at last, I dropped into a hole just out side the north fence of the cemetery. I was conscious all the time until I stopped rolling and settled into that hole. After that I knew nothing more until people from the town were about me. My best friends did not recog- nize me. From head to foot I was covered with mud. My hair was plas= 'tered down with it. At first it didn’t seem to me that I Was much hurt, but after a while I discovered that I was bruised from head to foot. While I was in the air it seemed as if things were peeking at me all the time. They must have been the boards and other flying wreckage. Development of the Pencil. There is something wrong with the common lead pencil, or else inventors imagine that there is, for a great va- riety of new designs for making an ever-pointed pencil have been devel- oped and put on the market within a short.time. For many years a lead pencil meant one of two things, either a stick of baked black lead and clay enclosed in a cover of wood, or a little cylinder of similar substance inserted in a handle which had a screw arrangement back of the lead to work the lead forward as it was used up. _ While the pencil-case makers were busy the pencil makers were schem- ing also, and the result was that a lit- tle while ago one maker got out a pen- cil enclosed in paper. The paper is wound on in a spiral, and all that is needed to sharpen this pencil is to loos- en the end of the paper and unroll a spiral or two of it, disclosing the lead. The wooden pencil makers were beaten for a time, but now one of them has gone the paper pencil makers one bet- : ter; he makes his casing of wood, cut into a spiral like the paper one. 'The wood can be torn otf with the fingers. On the other end of the pencil from the point is a metal ferrule in which a rub- ber is set. You can take this ferrule off when you have exposed a new bit of lead, and inside you find a spiral sharpener to bring the lead to a point. Good Times Coming. It looks that way! Crop shortages ‘ in Europe. India and the Argentine are creating an extraordinary demand in England and on the continent for American produce. Our exports are increasing so rapidly that ocean freight rates have heavily advanced; consequently tramp steamers are all racing for our coasts to get cargoes. This will bring down rates again, and insure abundant means for transport- ing our surplus to the other side. Prices are advancing all along the line. Wheat and cats are higher, so are tobacco and cotton, wool is im- proving, and with last year’s extraor- dinary corn exports now being doubled even corn is advancing in the .face of the biggest crop on record! Reactions are probable if prices go up too fast, but even if present values are only maintained it means millions upon millions of extra profit to American farmers—Agriculturist. -\.
