Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Nov. 16.—At Olympia yester- €ay afternoon Mrs. Mills, wife of Sheriff Mill¢, prevented a jailbreak by the quick | use of her husband’s rifie. The jail de- livery was attempted by Sam Bulford, who was sentenced last week to four years in prison for forgery. | Mrs. Mills was standing on the back porch of her residence, near the old brick #ail, when she and a neighboring woman noticed some bricks falling out from the side of the jail. A moment later Bul- ford’s foot was stuck through a hole he had made in the wall. Both women saw that a jailbreak was in progress. While her neighbor screamed Mre. Mills ran into the house and ob- tained her husband’s rifie. By this time Bulford had both legs through and was ebout to wiggle out. Confronted by Mrs. Mills and a gun al- most in his face, he crawled back into the jail. Other prisoners who were wait- ing to follow Bulford were similarly cowed until Sheriff Mills could arrive from the new jail, now nearing comple- The prisoners were then transferred to & steel cage. Bulford and four others attempted to escape last month. LADY COLEBROOK TAKES | ACTIVE' PART IN POLITICS | She Is Credited With Having Gained Several Allies for Lord Rose- bery’s Party. LONDON, Nov. 16.—The dullness of the osphere has been dispelled by the ap- ce of a new leader, namely, Lady ook. Not since Disraell's time has woman taken such an active part in political circles. Colebrook is now regarded as the | s ex machina” of Lord Rosebery’s | wherever she goes, and she goes | everywhere, champloning the ex- | r's cause. Soclety credits this tal- | and fascinating woman with several | which have occurred from' Sir | mpbell-Bannerman’s section of | iberal party. She is exceptionally interesting to Americans, as she has two w who are well known on the E of the Atlantic, her brother, rthur Paget, having married Miss Mary d her brother Almeric having e, daughter of William C. New York. Lady Colebrook | h rare intelligence and an excellent voice; she can be seen at all the principal race meetings and social gath- erings and y of her political friendships can be judged from the fact that after a recent large reception to the eral League she stayed at the Duke of Derby races. Lord gained a powerful ally, is more open than his Sir Edward Colebrook seldom is in public and is generally known as & bookworn.

Once Expelled From the Ranks of the Anarchists. L S Father of Assassin a Soldier Who Fought With Distinction. — BRUSSELS, Nov. 16.—Ac- cording to some reports Ru- | bino, in the course of his ex- amination before the magis- trate, declared that he seleet- ed King Leopold for his attack on account of his Majesty’s inhuman conduct toward his daughter, Princess Stepharie, at the time of her mother’s death, and he also wished to show to the:anarchists in Lon- don who doubted his loyalty that, while they only talked, he acted. He would have killed King Edward, he added, but for the strong feeling of the English people in favor of the monarch. k! =+ ROME, Nov. 16.—The Ministry of the Interior has established the idemtity of the assailant of King Leopold. His name is Generrero Rubino, and he is described in their records as an advanced socialist. He was condemned to a long term of im- prisonment for stealing at Milan in 189, but he effected his escape to England, where he is supposed to have imbibed his anarchistic principles. o - His father was a patriotic communical councilior, but Rubine, while still’serving | in the army, was condemned to five years’ detention for writing a subversive news- | paper article. These are the only crim- inal records that have been found against him. Since leaving Italy he has resided in Scotland and England, first in Glasgow and afterward in London. Some years ago he was accused of treachery by. his anarchist friends and expelled from their ranks. The Pope, King Victor Emmanuel and | Premier Zanardelli have sent telegrams of congratulations to the King on his escape from assassination. It appears that Rubino has a brother who is also an anarchist. His father fought with distinction in the Italian war for independence. R BAS S SHEUIS, America Regrets the Attack. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. — Secretary Hay called at the Belgian Legation to- day to express to the officials there the regret over the attempt on the life of the King of Belgium yesterday and to extend the congratulations of the people of this country over the King's escape from harm. GERMAN GOVERNMENT' TO INVESTIGATE TRUSTS Commission Will Inquire Into the Syndicates That Control the De- partments of Production. BERLIN, Nov. 16—The Government commission appointed to inquire into the kartels, or syndicates, that control or largely affect S0 many departments of production in Germany is composed of four professors, eight members of the Reichstag and nineteen business men. Home Secretary Posadowsky, in explain- ing the range which the commission’'s researches are expected to take, said he would lay before them material which had been collected in the United States. He alluded, it is understood, both to the gestimony taken by the congressional made by representatives of the German Government who had been sent to the United States.. The commission’s work, judged from the programme prepared, wiil be a most exhaustive examination into the effects of kartels on wages, the price of raw material, domestic and for- cign prices and the economics of pro- duction affected. It is not unlikely that the Government will use the report as a basis for proposing legislation providing for national supervision of combinations of capital. PR PR WAVE OF CRIME SWEEPS BIG CITIES OF ENGLAND Some New Tragedy Is Added Almost Daily to Long List of Crim- / inal Cases. LONDON, Nov. 16.—The protracted coronation rejoicings have been succeeded by a wave of crime. Accounts of mur- der trials and stories of other tragedies fill the columns of such papers as report those occurrences, and to the long list of criminal cases now proceeding some new tragedy is added almost daily. Suicide also is unusually prevalent. The mur- ders are mostly confined to the lower classes. Much interest has been evoked this weck over the recent stabbing case in which a young woman most deliberate- 1y killed a member of the Stock Exchange on the street in the busiest section of the city. Another case that has attracted much public attention is the alleged murder by burning and the stabbing of a servant girl - CANNON FAR IN by an evangelist at Pearsen Hall, county of Suffolk. 2 WEST LIKELY T0 DOMINATE OWER HOUSE SpeakershipNowin the Grasp of Cannon. Extra Session and Re- vision of Tariff Probable. Babcock to Be Chairman of the Ways and Means - Committee. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—An extra session of the Fifty-eighth Congress; Cannon; Speaker of the House; Babcock, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means; reorganization of the Committee on Rules; complete domination of the ‘West in matters of legislation, and, then, most important of all, tariff revision, quick and decisive—all this Washington sees in the action of the Republican dele- gation of Wisconsin at its meeting in Mil- waukee yesterday. Representative Bibcock's sudden swerve after the conference Speaker Henderson and Cannon came with great suddenness and surprise and the friends of Dalzell, -high protective candi- date for the Speakership, look upon the dction as weighed with the greatest sig- nificance. Knowing as they do the poli- tical power and ambition of Babcock, they say that, in the event of Cannon's election to the Speakership, Babcock's support means nothing less than the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee and the authorship of the “Babcock bill,” the next great tariff measure. They think this means, fur- thermore, the intensifying of the Speaker- ship battle on the lines of tariff revision and anti-tariff revision, there being. in- volved also sectional strife between the East and West. i < - o "THE -LEAD...| The coup exécuted by Babeock undoubt- edly has put Cannon far in the lead for the Speakership, and the fight, in a very short time, is expected to narrow down to Cannon and Dalzell, each striving for the support ‘of the administration. Babcock’s statement to his Wisconsin colleagues of the President’s intention to call Congress in extra session immediate- ly after the last session of the Fifty- seventh Congress, is another surprise to ‘Washington. Friends of Dalzell said that it seemed very strange, indeed, that Bab- cock should be the bearer of any Presi- dential announcements and they natur- ally discourage all extra session talk. On the other hand, Babcock's friends say he has been in close touch with the President in the last few weeks on matters per- taining to the tariff; that both men think alike In regard to revision and it would be perfectly natural for the President to discuss with Babcock his intentions. And now comes a point blank denial from Babcock in a telegram, which the ‘Washington Post will publish to-morrow, that he ever made any statement that the President would call an extra session. The advisability, however, of announc- ing an extra session on the eve of the as- sembling of Congress in regular session, which under ordinary circumstances might be expected to accomplish some- thing in line with the President’s wishes, is questioned here, but it is the firm be> lief that nothing will be done on the tarif® at the short session. THESE HAVE RIGHT OF WAY. The Cuban reciprocity contest will be renewed; a prolonged fight over any canal treaty that can be negotiated with the evanescent Government|of Colombia is expected; the question of trusts is almost sure to be taken up. All this, with the time which is always required on appro- priation bills, will occupy the attention of Congress to the exclusign of all other business. Immediately upon the President’s re- turn from his Southern trip an important conference will be held at the White House and an extra session of Congress for the purpose of revising the tariff will be the principal topic. Senator Spooner and Representative Babcock, it is known have been requested to attend this con- ference. In speaking of the possibility of an ex- tra session, Senator Cullom of Illinois| said to-day: ““The demand for a revision of the tariff seems to be growing. If it must be done it should be done quickly. And should the President become convinced that it is necessary, and, further, should nothing be accomplished at the coming session, I should think an extra session would be called.” SENTENCE OF THE COURT g Is NULLIFIED BY A MOB Murderer Committed to Jail for Life Is Taken Out and Hanged in Courtyard. ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky., Nov. 16.—| Harlan Buckles, who was yesterday sen- tenced to life imprisonment for the mur- der of Robert L. Reid, deputy marshal, was hanged by a2 mgb early this morning. The mob consisted of seventy-five men, some of whom are supposed to have come from Larue County. Buckles was taken. to the courthouse yard and hanged to a tree. \ s L e ot Burned to Death in His Chateau. PARIS, Nov. 16—Count Frank, who was well known in soclety here, was burned to _death in his bed last night in his residerice, the Chateau des Lands, at Suresness.

' VAGE YAQUIS MENACE TOWNS AND TORRES MAY ORDER BATTLE Mexican General Hurries to the Scene of Atrocious Murders on Report of Increasing Crime. I * W UCSON, Ariz., Nov. 16.—The depredations and atrocities of the Yaqui Indians have be- come so alarming and the ne- cessity of their subjugation so immediate that General Torres of the Mexican army is hastening to the scene of their multiplying outrages. The carnival of crime conducted by the discontented savages has appalled the authorities of northern” Mexico, and the American settlers in the regions af- flicted by the malevolent presence of the bloodthirsty aborigines, are scurry- ing for shelter in fortified towns. George F. Joseph, president of the I i 3 T TRANISCO RAMIREZ.., ISPECTOR GENERAL Y The R AIES . Santa Maria Gold Mining Company, and Edwin Haynes, president of the Chicago Placer Mining Company, who have just returned to Hermosillo, re- port that the Yaquis after once satisfy- ing their thirst for blood, again have everywhere been committing outrages in the vicinity of San Marcial, and Al- berto Flores, a mine owner, was their last victim. Joseph and Haynes accompanied a guard of twenty-five rurales who went to Saqui Grande to bring in the body of Captain F. Sullivan, the murdered American engineer, and on their arrival there they found that Flores had met a similar fate. He, like Sullivan, was at- tacked by the Yaquis on the road, who first murdered him and his three Mexi- can servants. The bodies of all of the murdered men were terribly mdngled. The wagon, team and effects of the mur- dered Flores were carried off by the Yaquis. The murder of Captain Sullivan con- vinced the Mexican officials of the gravity of the situation and General Torres has hurriedly left Hermosillo for the scene of trouble to see what can be done with the forces at hand. It is expected that the troops will have bat- tle with the Yaquis. - Sullivan left a wife and six children, and his murder incensed the people.of San Marcial so that they appealed to Hermosillo for help. Flores was popular in Saqui CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF MEXICO AND TWO OF THE PROMINENT OFFICERS OF THE GOVERNMENT, WHO HAVE AN IMPORTANT TASK TO PERFORM IN THE SUPPRESSION OF THE REBELLIOUS YAQUI INDIANS.

Grande, the lived, and his murder has only served to further impress upon the Mexican au- thorities the gravity of the situation. The Indians have penetrated as far as Ortiz on the Sonora Railroad, and now all of the.roads out of that town are re- mining town where he ported dangerous. The road from Te- coripa to La Barranca, where there are a number of Americans, is reported to be infested by Yaquis and all traffic over it has been abandoned. The road from La Colorado Mazatan is guarded by troops, so that travel is safe that way. As fur- ther outrages are comfhitted more In- dians take to the warpath, so that trouble of a more serious nature is ex- pected at any time.

ROME, Nov. 16.—The appointment of Apostolic Delegate in Canada to succeed Arichbishop Falconio, made Papal Dele- gate in the United States, has been sus- pended. Mgr. Zaleski, who had been ated for the position, said the cold ciimate of Canada would be bad for his his resi~ dence of ten years in India. The most likely candidate is now said to be Mgr.

TORONTO, Ont., Nov. 16—Canadian lumber men Who are in touch with what is going on in Washington and in Can- gdian Government circles are alarmed over the rumor that a duty of $4 per 1000 feet will be levied on Canadian sawed lumber entering the United States. It is suid that the measure Is Intended as a reprisal for the action of the provincial governments of Ontario and Quebec in placing an embargo on the export of pulp woed. A number of pulp mills on the northern borders of the United States were dependent largely on Canada for pulp wood, and these have suffered by the embargo. No effective reprisal ‘can be taken in cornection with the pulp industry; so an effort, it is alleged, is on foot to strike at Canada through the sawed lumber in- dustry. Sir Wilfred Laurier is anxious that the governments of both Ontario ard Quebec should take some step that will mitigate the alleged grievance - of the American pulp men. It is possible that on bis coming trip to Virginia Sir Wilfred will discuss the matter with the Amer- can. Government.
