L — WILL NOT Beoretary Root Never faid War Would End with MoKinley's Re-Election. PLANNING TO BRING HOME VOLUNTEERS Practically Decided That the Retarn- ing Soldiers Will He Mustered Out a Near an Possible to Piace of Enlistmen WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Senators Proc- tor and Burrows of the semate military committee had a long conference with Sec- retary Root at the War department today in regard to the military situation in the Philippines, with special application to the bill providing for an increase of the regular army now under consideration in the se ate. Just before the conference the sec- retary talked with a number of newspaper men. In the course of the conversation he said there was no foundation for the state- ment published in some newspapers that ho had predicted that the troubles in the Philippines would end with the re-election of President McKinley. He explained that be had always avoided the making of predic tions in any matter and he certainly had never made the prediction in question about the speedy termination of the Philippin troubles. The nearest he had ever come to doing 80 was in his last annual report to the president, when he summed up the mil- itary requirements in the Philippines as demanding 60,000 men for the immediate future, though this number might be pro- grossively decreased by the restoration of order, the creation of a native police and the use of native troops in place of Amer- fcans. We should acquire permanently an army of about 60,000 American troops, he sald, and during present conditions in Cuba and the Philippines about the present num- ber, 100,000, would be required. In answer to a direct question, Secretary Rgot sald that final arrangements for the return of the volunteers from the Philip- pines would not be made until congress ha Indicated its intention with regard to their replacement by fresh troops. One thing settled, however, was, he sald, that the volunteers brought back to the United States would be mustered out at points as near their places of enlistment as possible, and not at San Francisco, as was originally intended. In explanation of this plan of action he sald it was based on the experience gained in the muster- out of the volunteers at the close of the Spanish war, when it was found that the volunteers brought home from the Philip- pines spent all their money in “places of amusement” in San Franclsco and were financlally unable to continue the journey to their homes. If the secretary stands by his announced program it is said that it will completely upset the tentative ar- rangements already made by the adjutant general's and the quartermaster's depart- ments, which contemplate the mustering out of all the volunteers at San Francisco and thelr transportation to their homes as individuals at reduced railroad rates. The plans reached a point where the transporta- tion companies had prepared a schedule of rates between San Francisco and all points In the United States. MISSOURI COSTS TOO MUCH Framers of River and Harbor Bill Criticize Amount Expended on Stream’s Improvement. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The text of the report on the river and harbor bill, which appeared today, makes a severe arraign- ment of the large expenditures, aggregat- ing $10,03,660, on the Missouri river, with an array of figures showing that the traffic is insignificant compared with that of other waterways which have received far less from the government. As a result, the repeal of the act creating the Missourl river commission Is recommended. The re- port says: ‘The quantity of traffic upon the river is very small. The frelght carried below Bloux City in 189 amounted to only 263,114 tons and bove Sloux City In_the 1,600 miles to Fort Ben The major whare of the tonnuge {sgonri, or 216417 tons, Is made of nd and bullding materials, carried average dis- tance of less than (wo mi‘es, leaving a bal ance of 46057 tons of other Kinds of freigh rried. The report shows that Raccoon %treek In New Jersey and Bayou Teche in Loulsiana have apj roximately as much tonnage as the Missourl river, although the creek has re- celved $3,000 from the government and the bayou $81,000, as against $10,903,560 to the Missouri river. up More Gross Gold in the United & Treasury Now Than Ever Before, WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—'The gross amount of gold in the treasury today," said Ellls H.

He was the Individual most wanted the nervy man, the most foolhardy of the three daredevils. Phillips and Gallagher meant to get him. First they consulted. It was decided that he would probably go toward Scribner. A convenlent handcer afforded them transpor- tation. Rhea had distanced his pursuers but luck was against him. About three miles from Scribner the sheriff, his deputy, | Gallagher, and young Cogswell, who had at- tached kimeelf to the party, struck across the flelds. Suddenly they saw a man run- ning from them. He ran rapidly, but with & limp. The 220-pound sherift and his| deputies gave fast chase. It was the run of a lifetime, across fields, through wire fences, down roads and across streams. He finally tried to enter a farmhouse, but it was locked. Here he was overtaken and covered by the sheriff of Cuming county and his possc “The Little One” threw up his hands. | Crowd Enger to Lynch, A crowd had gathered and tried to lynch the man, but the sheriff levelled his gun and drove oft with his prisoner. Garduer and the woman refused to talk, but Rhea was more communicative, He puffed a cigarette in spite of his bleeding wounds and the exhausting escapade he had been through. He complaiued of the cold, but that was all When questioned about Zahn, he replied: “I did not see him put up his hands at all. To the question how many were in the saloon, he sald: “It was full; they all put up their bands but him (meaning Zahn).” When the surgeon dressed his wounds it was found he had a forty-four-caliber hole in his left leg, a bullet in his side and duckshot galore In his neck, back and behind the ears. After the wounds vere dressed he returned to his cell, accepting a cigar with thanks. Sherift Kreader will return with the other man, now in West Point, on the first train. He has a strong guard, and they do not expect to be stopped. The county jail is well guarded. Armed semtries pace up and down, ready to repulse the attack of the 200 men that are rumored to be upon their way from the northern part of the county. The friends of Zahn, frenzied by his brutal murder, are sald to be coming overland, on horses and fn wagons. It is thought that they will arrive at 3 a. m. IRISH GARDNER SMOKED OUT He I In Mortal Terror of L but W an Who Guards H Shack is Profanely Defla Neb., Jan. 6.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Sherlft Kreader arrived in Fre- mont this afternoon with Irish Gardner, who s belleved to be one of the men who held up and killed Herman Zahn at Snyder last night. He and Officer Crawford ar- rested their man about a mile north of Crowell at 1:30 this afteruson. Gardner belongs to a gang of horse traders who have been making their headquarters for the lnst two months in a shack near the banks of the Elkhorn river. The sheriff and his posse arrived at the place shortly after moon. The curtains were all down and there was no one to be seen, A red- beaded woman met them at the door and n reply to a question from the sherift where her husband was, answered with an oath: “None of your business.’”" The house was searched, with no results. Some of the posse in the meantime searching a thatched shed and small hay- staok. One of them s‘umbled over some- hing and & man jumped up and ran. The posse fired and the shots were returned by the bandit. He was evidently hit, but suc- ceeded In getting away followed by a big crowd. Someone then set fire to the shed and as it began to burn Gardner jumped | out and threw up his hands, calling out: | “Don't shoot. T give up.” Big © wd of Men Hent on Lyn Kreader' took his man and star: Crowell, knowing that a big crowd of men snyder was on the way. He fol- lowed alogg the river and across the flelds and reached the station Jjust as the crowd | did. The train from the west wag already | in sight and ihe crowd rushed at the shoriff. They had a rope twenty-five feet long and were armed with all sorts of | guns. One of them went through the crowd | like a foot bali plaver and aimed a re- volver directly at rdner's head. Sheriff Kreader threw up fhe gun and the bullet | did no barm. The crowd caught hold of | Gardner by the coat and the garment was torn off his back. With the asststance of Sheriff Phillip of West Point, Kreader suc- d in getting his man on the front plat- form of the baggago car, Kreader having Bis fur coat tcrn to tatters. Gardner was badly frightened. His face was pale, his teeth se! firmly together and he hung closely to the sheril, He will say nothing and refuses to give his name The woman, who is & character well known to the police, was brought in on the same train. She claims to know nothing of the robbery, but on being searched at the jail a wallet of money amounting to about §80 was found in her stceking. Explosion Shatters Hidl A terrific explosion shed and haystack totally ~ demoilshed everything. It thought to have been caused by nitro- glycerine. Numerous 4i-caliber shells were also found, The posse under Officer Crawford fol- lowed the trall of the first man who jumped out of the straw.’ In the meantime a couple of bloodhounds which had been sent for trom Lincoln and had followed the trail from Snyder to the shack on the Elkhorn had arrived and took up the scent of the robber. The man had a good star.. but the rosse gradually gained on him. He was evidently badly wounded, but was game Every once in a while he would stop and fire on his pursuers After going a couple of miles he held up & farmer and com- pelled him to take him along.

He was soon in sight again and the posse commandeered a farm wagon and started after him. For several miles the chaso continued Fires Shot After Shot The bandit fired shot after shot at his pursuers, which were returned with inter est and took effect, for his tracks were marked by a continued trail of blood on the snow. One of the last shots struck him in Ofcer Crawford helped him {nto the wagon and at 4:20 they started to drive to Fremont, it having | been thought best not to take him through | etther Scribner or Hooper, as the temper of the people there is such that the man would no doubt be lynched It was bardly believed live to reach Fremont with Officer Craw- tord, for he was all shot to pieces. He was hit in the neck and both legs and in- ternally “The crowd at Crowell” says Sheriff Kreader, “was the worst I ever got into. If the train had been two minutes later the people would have strung him up at once. Phillips did good work. We got him on the car platform just in time.” The three men have been living in shack for some time and have had no occupation. Gardner is a big Irishman, a shrewd, tough-looking fellow, but well- dressed. The badly wounded man was evi dently the leader of the gang. Capture of Third Bandit, WEST POINT, Neb., Jan, 5.—(Special Tel- egram.)—A message afterncon from Crowell, nine miles below here, that the third one of the murderers of Herman Zahn had been captured while in hiding under the Elkhorn river bridge at that place and had been rescued by the Fremont officers, who captured him from the citizens, who were anxious to lynch him the man would the Belleve Captured Man is Burton, WEST POINT, Neb., Jan (8pecial.) Sherift Phillips of Cuming county is in active co-operation with Sheriff Kreader of Dodge county In a determined effort to hunt down the murderers of Herman Zahn of Snyder. A posse has been organized here under the lead of Sheriff Phillips and a systematic patrol established of all roads leading east. Bridges and crossings par- ticularly are guarded. The man arrested by the Cuming counly sheriff still refuses to reveal his identity though he has been partially identified by a citizen who thinks his name is William Burton. Krom his admissions made to the jaller and deputy sherlff, there is very little doubt that he is one of the holdups, though most likely not the one who fired the shot which killed Zahn. The nefghbor- hood between Crowell and Snyder has long been known as the rendezvous of a gang of criminals, who have terrorized the com- munity for some years past. ENTIRE TOWN IS IN TERROR Bullets Iy Brondcast in Main Street crmun Zahn s Left Dying SNYDER, Neb., Jan. 5.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The little town of Snyder had the most exciting time in its history last night Three men held up and killed Herman Zabn and held the entire town in a state of terror. Bullets were flylng through the main street, windows were broken, a bullet through the waist of one man's trousers and another went through a window within an inch of a man's head. Irish Gardner and two companions ar- rived in town sometime in the afternoon. They started in to play cards and drink beer until after 8:30, when the patrons of Zahn's saloon were startled by the command Hold up your hands, everybody!" enforced by two big forty-four-caliber revolvers and by the shorter one of the two and one held by Gardner, who etood in the doorway, All obeyed but Zahn, the proprietor. He was playing cards, sitting at a little table twelve feet from the bar. Leaping to his feet and grasplug a chair he called out “I don’t want any shooting in here.” Then he lowered the chair and made a move toward the bar. The bullet fired by the small man who gave the command felled him to the floor before he advanced a step. The bandit then walked up to his prostrate form, kicked him in the ribs and said, callin him a vile name: “You ain't hurt much! Theu, stooping over, he rolled him on his back, took the contents of his pockets and tore his gold watch from its chain, which was 8o securely fastened he could not re- move it The appearance of the men caused sternation in the saloon. John Swanke, a big six-foot farmer, drove through the front window and fell over a man passing on the sidewalk, iuto the arms of the man keeping watch outside. Fritz Koeopen, the bartender, dropped behind the bar and slipped out the back door. Ofe or two more near the door did the same. After golng through Zahn's pockets one of the robbers went behind the counter, took the contents of the drawer, which was open, and tried to break the cash, regis- ter, but falled. The big man, Gardner, did not like the looks of things inside and made them all get down on their knees or sit on the pool table. Barber Plays a Lone Hand, W. A. Swichtenberg was in his barber shop a block away when the shooting be- gan. He took & gun and went around to the back door, which he found open, ,and, taking aim at the robber behind the bar working on the cash register, fired five shots. One bullet struck the robber in the neck, but the others lodged in the ceiling. This was an unexpected part of the program and for a few seconds the bandits were rather disconcerted. They then made a rush for outside, one by way of the back door and the other by the front. As soon as they reached the street they commenced firlng at whalever moving object they saw. Henry Buehner, who lives over the bank just across the street, went to his front window and pulled up the curtain when he heard the first shot. A bullet from the gun of one of the robbers went through the pane within an inch of his head. J. Poel lott_ was standing on the street corner a block away and felt something cutting the waistband of his trousers, which he is sure was a bullet. Several windows in the store opposite broken und the clerks and customers took to the back ends behird the counters There is some difference of opinion as to whether one or (wo shots were fired in he saloon, some saying one was fired by the big man after Zahn was shot, while others are just as sure that was the only Fully fifty o fired after chey left satoon con- were, one W the Third Man in West Point. The sheriff says the man in jall at West Point was with the other two during the afternoon. He came Into the saloon just as the order, “Hands up!"’ was given and was told to put his hands up, too. Dbr Ayers was summoned as early as possible Zahn was consclous and appeared to be suf- fering terribly. He said to the doctor: *I want you to see that those fellows who shot me are punished.” In a few minutes he be gan to sink and realized that his end was at hand. He called for his lttle children bade them goodby and gave some direc tions arding his business afairs, then gradunlly passed awuy.

He is surrounded by his fam- ily, Mrs. Neville, his son and daughter, be- ing in constant attendance upon him, al- though no one is permitted to see him ex- cept his family and physicians The history of Congressman Neville's trouble undoubtedly dates back to the civil war. Sixteen years ago, however, it first made its appearance when Neville was cam- paigning in Nebraska. After talking at con siderable length he was compelled to quit campaigning at Ainsworth, bleeding at the throat being then first discernable. Since that time he has husbanded his strength and has been fairly well, the last cam palgn having taxed his strength a little But his breakdown is really traceable to a shooting expedition into Virginia during the holiday recess. He went into Vicginia on a hunt and while climbing the side of a hill he slipped and fell, spraining his ankle very badly. He returned to Washington and was compelled to take to his hed, from which it is not believed he can arise unless a mira- cle is performed.

Burkett on Reapportionment, Congressman Burkett expects to take the centor of the stage next month, when he speaks against the Hopkins reapportion- ment bill, now under consideration in the house. Speaking of the chances of the meas- ure getting through, Burketi sald “We have the Hopkins bill de first vote will be taken on the Burleigh bill, which is the minority bill reported from the committee on census. That will give us a chance in an affirmative way to test the feeling of the house, and I feel con- fident of the result. We have seventy-three republicans pledged te vote for the Bur- leigh bill, and we expect an almost solid democratic vote. There will be a few demo- crats who will vote for the Hopkins meas- ure, but they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. My judzment is that the Bur- lelgh bill will be passed.” Congressman Stark is on the fence in re- gard to his vote on the reapportionment bill. He was originally in favor of the Hopkins bill, limiting the size of the house to the present figures, 357, but Stark has evidently heard from his constituency and he is debating just on which side to place his vote.
