The woman's demeanor suddenly changed. “You deny me, do you? I'll fix you for that.” Furlong made no statement at the police station. He was locked up in what is known as “the woman's cgll,” which differs from the other compart- ments of the prison in that it is in- slosed with sheet iron, which makes it imposeible to hold conversaticn with those on the inside. Furlong is a handsome young man and an exceptionally good dresser. —————— OATH-BOUND TRIO OF THUGS IN PRISON Confess Despite Compact Forfeiting Life for Revealing Their Crimes. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.—Three men eap- tured near Venice, Ill, suspected of being highwaymen, were “sweated” six hours by Chief of Police Kelly to-day and finally admitted that they had been holding up the restaurant and sa- loon :pers generally throughout St. Louis for a week past and that they were bound together by a compact in which each swore to forfeit his life to one of the other two in case he b t-ayed them. The men gave their names as Frank Rice of Chicago, Max Dalaje of New York and Henry J. Ploehn of San Francisco. They made a signed state- ment admitting that they were confi- dence men, footpads and burglars anfl | had operated throughout the country. e ROV CITREET - CCUCHZ s, WILL HALE TRUST KING ITO COURT Special Dispatch to The Call JEFFERSON CITY, M Nov. 15.— The indictment of William Zeigler, the multi-millionaire baking powder trust magnate, was the reigning sensation here to-day.

It is said that the arrest of Zeigler will follow the disclosures and that it is more than probable & way has been found to snatch Daniel J. Kelly, the legislative agent of Zeigler, from his haven of refuge in Canada. Should this be accomplished, it is believed other indictments will follow—that lightning will strike some shining marks in the political world. Attorney General Crow left for St. Loujs last evening, and it is sald his mission was to arrange for the speedy arrest and return to this State of Zeig- ler. Every one is inquiring “Who next?"” All feel certain that a lead has been struck which will be productive of sensational developments, NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—William Zeig- ler when seen at his residence to-night said he knew absolutely nothing re- garding the indictments reported to have been found against him in Jeffer- son City, Mo, in connection with the baking powder measure sfiand&l in the Legislature. To aid in their development there is a strong feeling in Washington that the Rush-Bagot treaty of 1817, which limits to almost nothing the naval force of Great Britain and the United States on the great lakes, should be so | revised, or its interpretation so agreed upon, that warships sultable for train- ing purposes may be permitted to cruise the great inland seas, where storms rise quickly enough and sea- \ ways are sufficiently heavy to give the He was fined $15 for | Cochrane | rawest recruit from Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Michigan or Wisconsin ample opportunity to acquire the *‘sea habit.” The Rush-Bagot treaty confines the naval force of each power as follows: “On Lake Ontario, to a vessel not ex- ceeding 100 tons burden and armed with an eighteen-pounder; on the up- per lakes, two vessels not exceeding light burden and armed with light force.” There have been many efforts:to ab- rogate the Rush-Bagot treaty. Ship- builders on the lakes desire its abroga- tion in order that they might build warships for the United States na which could be taken to sea.through St. Lawrence River. Senator Fairbanks is anxious that sittings of the joint high commission, which failed several vears ago to sat- isfactorily adjust existing differences between the United States and Can- ada, shall be resumed. If he is able to bring this about the Rush-Bagot treaty will be brought before the commission, with an idea to its revision or interpre- ! tation anew, so that the United States or Great Britain, should either so de- sire, may place training ships, like fi,, cruiser Yankee or the Prairie of the United States navy, on the great lakes to carry, recruits from training sta- tions on cruisers which will fit theri for duty on battleships and other vessels of the navy at home and in foreign ‘watars. i .

OLON, Nov. 15—The overdue German steamer Scotia arrived from the coast at sundown today, flying the Colombian flag. Her agents signaled the Scotia to come alongside her wharf, but she is now anchored a mile and a half from the harbor. Cutters from the United States auxiliary cruiser Dixie are plying to and frrjm the Scoha, which has no communica- tion with the shore. There is great excitement, as it is said that (;er_mral Reyes and his staff are aboard the vessel. The United States converted cruiser .\Iay‘flou’cy len_her anchor‘agc and steamed to meet the Scotia. The moment the Scotia anchored twenty marines from the Dixie were landed o BOGOTA, Nov. 15—Generals Reyés, Holguin gnd O§pina, whp .left here to-day for Panama on a diplomatic mission, have full powers to offer Fhe isthmians a satisfactory treaty and such other concessions as may bring the isthmus back to the Colombian union. It is expected that amicable ar- rangements will be made and such are heartily desired here. News from the State Department at Washington is anxiously awaited. 3 ; i : PANAMA, Nov. 15—United States Consul General Gudger arrived this evening and was met at the railway station by a great number of persons, including the membqrs of the provisional Gov- ernment, army officers and other prominent persons.
