DEMOCRATS IN THE MAJORITY Four Members of That Party Refuse to Vote for the Caucus Nominee and Assist the Republicans in Elect- ing Their Candidate. Frankfort, Feb. 29.—Former Governor William O. Bradley has been declared elected to the United States senate after an exciting joint sitting ot the general assembly, receiving four Democratic votes in addition to the votes of all Republicans present. It had been held from the beginning of the contest over six weeks ago that a majority of a quorum was sufficient for an election and with 126 members present it required sixty-four votes to elect. The votes of four Democrats who have steadily refused to vote for former Governor Beckham were trans- ferred from the various Democrats on whom they had sought to make their party associates unite to the Repub- lican caucus nominee and his election promptly followed. The many changes of votes made the recapitulation a very slow process and it also developed an additional vote, but the vote for Bradley re- mained unchanged, still being a ma- jority of all members present and vot- ing.” There was some further delay in the announcement, but the speaker finally announced that Bradley had received a majority of the vote and was elected. The four Democrats who voted for Bradley were Senators McMutt and Charlton and Representatives Mueller and Lillard. Much excitement pre- vailed before the result was an- nounced, the Democrats demanding a recapitulation. Beckham came on the floor of the house chamber and re- leased the Democrats from their pri- mary nomination pledge. Many Dem- ocrats jumped to their feet and sought to change their votes, the majority going to Congressman James. A strong effort was made to induce the four re- calcitrant Democrats to leave Bradley and vote for some Democrat. AFTER CHICAGO REDS. Officials Begin Campaign Against Anarchists. Chicago, Feb. 29.—Chicago anarch- ists have fallen under the ban of the federal government. Direct orders from Washington set the Chicago wheels at the federal building to re- volving and secret service operatives, postoflice inspectors and deputy Unit- ed States marshals are preparing to make a campaign of surveillance against all alleged anarchists or an- archistic publications. The move on the part of Commis- sioner of Immigration Sargent, who issued the formal directions to enforce to the letter in Chicago the new im- migration law, is believed to reflect the general feeling of apprehension which resulted from the assassination of Father I.eo in Denver. In Chicago the state of terror, among the Catholic clergy especially, has been marked and the Chicago po- lice department has taken the initi- atlve in muzzling incendiary speakers. DECLARES BIG DIVIDEND. Oregon Short Line Distributes Large Sum Among Stockholders.

Pittsburg, Feb. 29.—When the Hart- je conspiracy case was resumed Judge MacFarlane asked the attorneys to take their seats as he had a state- ment to make. He said: “I hold in my hand a newspaper which attracted my attention because of the headlines, ‘Hooe's Lies Read to the Jurors” One of the questions to be decided by the jury is whether the deposition is true or false. There must be evidencd prodiiced n ATs case in order to convince the jury as to the accutacy or falsity of the state- ments made. It is a disgrace to civ- ilization and if anything like that ap- pears again in any newspaper I shall have the district attorney direct the county detective to prosecute the pub: lisher of that paper.” The matter referred to was the deposition of Clifford Hooe, the negro coachman, reflecting on the character of Mrs. Hartje.

Poor Critter! “I hear that your husband is critic- ally ill, Mrs. Tiff?” said Mr. Gummey “Yes, he is. He criticises the doctor, and he criticises the nurse, and he crit- icises me.

George IV. while prince and residing In his Brighton palace kept in his bed- room a portrait of Mrs. Gunn, an old bathing woman who used to dlp him into"the sea when he was the little Prince of Wales. A picture book much prized by children showed the old lady bathing the little fellow. Beneath the ypicture was this stanza: To Brighton came he, Came George the Third's son, To be dipped in the sea By the famed Martha Gunn. A companion portrait to Martha Gunn’s was that of Thomas Smoaker, who had charge of the horse which drew the bathing machines into and out of the sea. One day the little roy- al highness, having learned to swim, swam out farther than Thomas judged to be safe. He called to him to come back, but the self willed boy struck out with more vigor. Thomas went after the prince, overtook him, seized him by an ear and drew him to shore. “Do you think,” he replied to the boy’s angry words, “I'm a-going to get myself hanged for letting the king’s heir drown hisself just to please a youngster like you?’ Only a Dodge. An insurance expert was relating In Chicago some oddities of insurance. “And then,” said the expert, “‘there was that case of the general store man in ‘Ohio. This man's store burned down, and, because his stock was so heavy, the company disputed his claim. I remember one item in his stock list— 17,500 mourning hatbands. When 1 came to this item I thumped it with my pencil and said to the storekeeper severely: “‘Look here, this is unreasonable. Why should you have had 17,500 mourning hatbands in stock? What possibility was there that death would create in a single small shop like yours a demand for 17,500 mourning hat- bands? - “The storekeeper smiled at me in a condescending way and replied: “‘ didn’t keep those hatbands for men who grieved for the death of rela- tives or friends, but for men who went into mourning for the grease on their hats.’ "—Boston Globe.

SHAK ESCAPES DEATH Persian Ruler Plays a Trick on Would-Be Assassins. THREE OF HIS GUARD KILLED Imperial Automobile Demolished by Bombs, but the Shah Had Taken the Precaution to Ride in a Car- riage Some Distance Behind. Teheran, Persia, Feb. 29.—An at- tempt was made in this city to assas- sinate the shah of Persia by a bomb. His majesty was not hurt. Three of the outriders who were accompanying him at the time were killed. The shah owes his escape to the precautions taken to protect him from just such an attempt as was made. He was on his way to a nearby town where he intended to pass a few days. The procession had left the palace and was traversing a narrow street when two bombs were hurled down at it from the roof of a house. One ex- ploded in the air, but the other struck the ground near the shah’y automo- bile. This missile, in exploding, killed the three outriders, wounded the chauffeur and a score of bystanders The shah, and shattered the vehicle. however, was not in his automobile. He had taken the precaution to send the motor car on ahead and ride him- self in a carriage further in the rear of the procession. The motor car was a closed one and it was thought that the sovereign was inside. As soon as the shah heard the ex- plosions he alighted hurriedly from his carriage and entered a neighbor- ing house. Here he remained quietly Wwhile his attendants sent word for a detachment of troops. The soldiers were hurried to the scene and formed in front of the house, where the shah was. He then came out and, sur- rounded by a big bodyguard, returned to the palace. The house from which the bombs were thrown and the buildings near by were searched by the police, but no arrests were made. UNDER A SPECIAL RULE. House Restores Provision for In- creased Pay in Army. ‘Washington, Feb. 29.—The house of representatives has adopted a special rule restoring to the army appropria- tion bill the provision for an increase of pay for enlisted men and non-com- missioned officers in the army. The restoration. resolution was re- ported by Mr. Dalzell from the com- mittee on rules immediately after the convening of the session and was adopted after brief discussion, no one speaking in opposition. The provision prohibiting the private employment of army bands in competition with local civilian musicians was restored to the army bill by the same action. MEXICAN MINE DISASTER. Death List Estimated at From Forty to Ninety. Laredo, Tex., Feb. 29.—Information has reached here through federal tel- egraph sources that the explosion in the Larosita mine at Sabinas, near Musquiz, Mex., resulted in the loss of from forty to ninety miners. The mine is owned by the Monterey Steel company and ordinarily employs a force of 250 miners, mostly of Japa- nese and Mexican nationality. The federal government has taken charge of the situation. Danger From Wild Beasts. Huntington, Pa., Feb. 29.—The ex- treme cold and deep snows have caused the more ferocious of the wild animals in this 'section to become ex- ceedingly dangerous. Bears, wildcats and catamounts, driven from the mountains, are devastating the farm- ers’ stock and in several instances have attacked pedestrians on the pub- lic roads. Accused of Starting Fatal Fire. Johnstown, Pa., Feb. 29.—Charged with having started a fire at Barnes- boro, near here, last week, which caused $100,000 loss and burned a wo- man to death JLeroy Adamousky, a tailor, who occupied one of the burned buildings, has been arrested. It is alleged he started the fire in order to collect insurance. BOYS TO BE LET OUT. Substitute Letter Carriers Will De- liver Special Matter. Washington, Feb. 29.—Postmaster General Meyer is of the opinion that it is prejudicial to the welfare of “Young America” to employ him as a special delivery messenger in the postal service and has issued an order to the effect that whenever a vacancy occurs in the force of special delivery messengers the position shall not be fllled and that substitute letter car- riers and clerks _shall be employed to [P sftect Bpecial delivery. “He atatés that these messenger boys are called upon frequently to visit low resorts and are often compelled to travel long distances late at night in lonely out- lying sections of the great cities, fail- ing to make deliveries at times through fear or weariness. The ob- Jject of the order is to bring about the gradual discontinuance of the serv- ices of these juvenile messengers. Special delivery messengers have been employed since 1885 and at pres- ent there are 2,505 enzaged at 819 postofiices. At 344 offices substitute clerks and carriers do the work. In New York substitute carriers have delivered all special delivery matter for a number of years and in Boston only thirty-seven hoys are em- ployed, substitute carriers being used wholly at the main office and at the larger stations. The postmaster at Baltimore has reduced the force of boys gradually during the last three years and given over the work to the substitutes, the boys now numbering only nine. In Brooklyn twenty of the messengers are substitute carriers and forty-six are boys. Certain of the large cities, however, continue using boys exclusively. Chicago has 387 boys, Philadelphia 144 and Pittsburg 78. NINE-HOUR LAW HEARING. Operators Contradict Statements of Railroad Officials. ‘Washington, Feb. 29.—The hearing before the interstate commerce com- mission on the application for an ex- tension of the nine-hour law was con- tinued here. Mr. Dillard, representing the Union Pacific system, having stated that it would be impossible for his line at various remote’ stations to supply ac- commodations to a third operator, H. B. Perham, president of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, stated that he had received information from points along the Union Pacific that it was entirely possible for the extra oper- ator to be provided with the extra ac- commodations at the stations named by Mr. Dillard. E. L. Stump, general chairman of the Union Pacific teleg- raphers, also stated that accommoda- tions could be furnished for the nec- essary additional operator at all these stations. F. A. Delano of the Wabash rail- road put the inability of the Wabash to comply with the law purely on financial grounds. Lucien Cocke of the Norfolk and Western said: “We expect to comply with this law, but- we ask time to adjust ourselves to its provisions on account of the unprecedented conditions, financial and otherwise, which have arisen since the law was enacted.” VALUED AT MANY MILLIONS Suit to Collect Back Taxes on Pooled Tobacco. Lexington; Ky., Feb. 29.—The heav- lest back tax suit ever brought in Kentucky was filed at Winchester by M. P. Rehorn, revenue agent for the state at large, who seeks to recover from the Burley Tobacco society, in- corporated, a branch of the American Society of Equity, back taxes on the 1905 pool crop for three years and on the 1906 crop for two years, the esti- mated total valuation being many -millions. It is alleged that these crops were omitted from assessment by counly assessors. The action is said to have been caused by the re- port that the American Tobacco com- pany is negotiating for the whole hold- ings of the Burley society. SCANDAL IN PATENT OFFICE Affair Brought to Light by Threa Arrests. ‘Washington, Feb. 29.—A scandal in the patent office was brought to light and three arrests were made as a result of an investigation begun early in February and which revolves around an invention valued at mora than $5,000,000. The persons arrested are Ned W. Barton, third assistant examiner of the patent office; Henry W. Everding, a patent attorney of Philadelphia, and John A. Heany, an inventor of York, Pa. They had been indicted by the United States grand jury for con- spiracy to defraud the government and for destroying public records. The indictment charges that the three men, “with an intent to steal and destroy,” carried away from the patent office certain letters, specifica: tions and amendments relating to pat- ents and unlawfully and wilfully de- stroyed them. 4 ROBBER SHOT AND KILLED New York Saloonkeeper Objects to Be- ing Held Up. New York, Feb. 29.—In a desperate battle with four men whg attempted to rob him as he was about to close his saloon Thomas Craven shot one of the robbers dead and put the others to flight. Then, in a panic of fear lest the killing might mean a long term of imprisonment for him, Craven con- cealed the body of the dead robber in a hallway outside the saloon and hur- ried to his home without notifying the police. When the officers took him into custody less than an hour later he at first denied all knowledge of the killing, but finally made a full statement. The three men who es- caped from the saloon after their com- panion had been killed algo are under arrest. PLEADS TO BE EXECUTED Convicted Man Prefers Death to Im. prisonment. 2 New York, Feb. 29.—Giovanni Pi- sano pleaded with Justice Dowling to send him to death in' the electric chair. Sentence, which would have been not less than twenty years and not more than the natural term of life, was about to be pronounced when the prisoner remonstrated that he ‘would rather dier An original plea of guilty in the second degree was finally allowed to stand and the prisoner re- manded to await sentence. Pisano shot and killed Luigi Mapolitano last October when Mapolitano was getting the better of Pisano’s brother in a street fight. i MORE TRODPS NEEDE France to Take Energetic Steps to End Meroccan Anarchy. NEW COMMANDER SELECTED Reinforcements to the Number of Five Thousand Men, Now in Tunis and Algeria, Ordered to Hold Them-' selves in Readiness for Service. Paris, Feb. 29.—The repeated votes of confidence that have been given | the government on its Moroccan pol- ey have induced the cabinet to un- dertalte more energetic measures to put an end to the present state of an- archy in the Moroccan empire. Con- sequently reinforcements to the num- ber of 5,000 men, now in Tunis and Algeria, have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to go to Mo- rocco. General Liautey, commander of the flylng column in Algeria, is on his way to Paris. He probably will be given supreme command in Mo- | rocco. With the loan of $500,000 ac- corded the Moroccan foreign board it is expected that Sultan Abdel Aziz will be able to reconstitute his army, march to Fez and re-establish his au- thority. In the meantime the French[ forces will occupy the Chaouin region and prevent Mulai Hafid from advanc- ing. SAYS PRIEST DROPPED DEAD Denver Assassin Repudiates Former Confessions. Denver, Feb. 29.—Guiseppe Alio, the slayer of Father Leo, after con- ferring with Robert H. Widdicombe, counsel appcinted by the court to con- duct hig defense, has repudiated his signed statement made in jail at Colo- rado Springs as well as all his other confessions. “I did not kill the priest, he fell dead,” Alio now declares. “I am a Catholic and had gone to the church to pray. I did not go there to receive the sacrament. While I was kneeling the priest came along and put the sacranient in my mouth. It is against the rules of the Catholic church to take thc host without first having been to confession so I spat it out. The priest fell back and I heard ev- erybody jump up. It being a strange place to me I was afraid and I ran out.” | Allo is in poor physical condition. He has evidently undergone privation and his story of living on a single meal a day at the free souphouse would seem to be borne out by his drawn face and weak frame. MAJORITY FAVORS MEASURE [ House of Commons Votes on Women ! Enfranchisement Bill. London, Feb. 29.—The women’s en- franchisement bill passed its first reading in the house of commons by a vote of 271 to 92 and as soon as the news reached Westminster palace the waiting crowds of excited women suffragists who had assembled there broke into round after round of cheers. The opponents of the bill made no objection to the vote of the house be- ing taken and as the promoters of the measure consented to its reference to a committee of the whole house the bill is effectually shelved for the present session. This course of pro- cedure enabled the members of the house to treat the bill rather in the nature of a resolution expressing their “pious opinion” than as an actual leg- islative proposal. Party lines were completely ignored in the voting. Declared to Be a Combine. Jackson, Miss., Feb. 29.—Chancellor @arland Lytt has rendered a decree declaring that the Missouri and Louis- fana Retail Lumber Dealers’ associa- | tion is a trust and a combine and or- ! dered that the organization be ousted from business in Mississippi. The as- sociation has been operating under what is known as the “Mississippi plan,” which provides for the boycot- ting of wholesalers or manufacturers who sell direct to consuniers. Long Sleep Ends in Death. Deadwood, 8. D., Feb. 29.—After six- teen days’ continuous sleep Valis Elia is dead at St. Joseph’s hospital with- out having regained consciousness. Physfelans cannot say what caused his long sleep. Elia was a railroad laborer at' Rapid City. He had no accident or sickness and an examina- tion revealed the presence of no blood clot or other trouble. Couple Killed by Train. Greenville, Pa., Feb. 29.—Frank Pauley, aged thirty, and his wife, two years younger, were instantly killed and Benjamin Eckenrode, a friend, was probably fatally injured at Trans- fer, near here, when a carriage in which they were riding was struck by a train on a grade crossing of the Erie railroad during a blinding snow storm.
