BUNK0ED BY A BOGUS COUNT.
How a vagrant Svede Managed to Swindlt
His Landlord.


Hi. Landlord.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-A young Swede,
giving his name as Count C. Clarence Won
Rosen, of Stockholm, was arraigned in the
Yorkville Police Court to-day on complaint
of Martin Suva, who keeps Swedish board
ing house and intelligence Office, who
charged him with obtaining money under
false pretenses and with grand larceny.
Suva stated that he met the prisoner De-
cember Is and was told that he was member
of wealthy Swedish family, but was IN
temporary hard luck. His grandmother, he
said, was Mrs. Clara B. Moore, OF Phlladel-
phia, who was worth millions of dollars and
who had promised him Christmas present
of $500. He also told Suva that Thomas
Hill, of Chicago, prominent citizen and
philanthropist, was his uncle, and showed
papers representing numerous financial
transactions, including an IS. COO mortgage
on Denver property.
The Count also showed Suva five certifi-
Gates of building association stock Of 500
each which stock he offered to Suva for
1898, and Suva took it, paying
S3S down. Meanwhile he communicated
with the Secretary of the association.
and pending an answer, not only boarded
the Count, but also liquidated an old board
bill of $50. The Count explained that the
reason he was willing to sell the certificates
was because he was engaged to marry his
cousin, beautiful girl of Atlanta, worth
5000, 900, and he wanted to consummate the
engagement as speedily as possible. A few
days ago, Suva received an answer from the
Secretary of the building association, in
forming him that the certificates were
worthless. Then Suva had him arrested.

THE MOB RULES THE TOWN.

A Local Election at Ascension, Mexico, Re-
snlts in a Bloody Fight ON the Streets
The Elected Candidate Slain and His
Party Routed.
DEMING, \. NJ, Jan 10.-Couriers from
Ascension, in the State of chihuahua, 100
miles south, report a terrible uprising there
Thursday. For some time bad feeling has
existed between the adherents of
the Church party and the sup
porters of the Diaz Government. Affairs
reached crisis Thursday when the election
of the President of the town was held.
Rafael Anchela, who had twice held the
office, was reelected by a few votes. An
chela was distasteful to the opposition on
account of his efforts to inaugurate reform,
and threats were openly made against his
life. About o'clock in the afternoon u
mob of over 100 men suddenly surrounded
the city building and opened FIRE. Anchela
and his secretary, \. Devalas, were in
stantly killed.
The mob took possession of the town
after hard fight with the friends of An
chela. During the battle three revolution
lists were killed and several on both sides
were fatally wounded. France Sanzo, ore
of the leaders of the mob, was among the
killed.
The impression prevails that this is a
movement in support of CARA. The
strength of the insurgents is reported at SO
armed men. Troops are reported to be
Fastening to the point of outbreak. Mean
while the town is in the possession of the
mob, and further bloodshed is expected.

THE officials of the Kansas City club do not
think their claim on Elmer Smith very
good one.
BASEBALL magnates have very high opin-
ion of Al Scandrett, the genial Secretary of
the local club.
WHEN every team gets fairly to work and
the season is opened there will still be lots
OF room for good players.
Ex-MANAGER HANLoN very wisely says:
"The turnstile fixes the salary limit, and
rules have little to do with it,"
The New York papers are almost unani-
nous in the opinion that Manager Powers is
one Of the ablest managers in the country.
TIE directors of the Louisville club are
not confident about getting Grimm, as they
are after "more catchers i'll case they do not
get him."
Rem MULFoRD says: Pittsburg will prob
ably open its arms TO William Earle. 4.
G. Buckenberger knows the little globe
trotter's worth. He played gingery bail for
him last season.

ROBINSON NOT UNFRIENDLY,
But He Insists That Grim Should Report
First at Louisville.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. l0-TSDeciuL AT
torney Zach Phelps this morning received q
letter from President Frank Robinson. of
the Cleveland club, addressed to the Play
ers' Committee, which has very pertinent
bearing upon the distribution of players
and OF the rumors that the League clubs
were trying to get the better of the four
Association clubs. The letter is written
from indianapolis, and is prompted by the
fight over Catcher Grim. Mr.. Robinson
says that on December Is 1891, the 'dav of
the indianapolis meeting, he was asked
regarding the distribution OF PLAYERS by
Manager Buckenberger, of the Pittsbure
club. He explained that all contracts made
after December would he void, and the
PittsburC manager said he was sorry to
hear that, as he would have TO let Grim go
The Cleveland President explained that his
feeling for the Pittsburg club is of the
fricndlieSt nature, but, as the organization
was formed to DO away with such contro-
versies, he thought it his duty as member
of the committee bringing bout the amalga-
nation, to write concerning if. He said
that as Grim had been first assigned to the
Louisville club, he should go there if that
ciub still desired bis services
Regarding the rumors that had been pub
lished to the effect that the National League
Club would, in the course of time. dump
the four Association clubs, Mr.. Robinson
says it would never be accomplished if the
vote of the Cleveland club could prevent it,
MI. houinson also urSeC tne committee to
compel all players to play where they had
been assigned, Lyons in New York and
Richardson in Washington. He further
stated, in regard to the report that New
York would get the worst of the distribution,
that he, Mr.. Brush, and Mr.. Spalding had
urged President Day, of the New York club.
to remain in indianapolis until the PLAYERS
were distributed, claiming ii MI. Day had
then shown it would have been TO the best
interests of all concerned that Richardson
should have gone to New York, that the
committee would have assi2ned him to that
club. The letter is scmi-official as it is
probable that bfr. Brush also had something
to do with its composition.

ANOTHER NEW RELIGION,
Kentucky People Excited by a Theological
Crank.

PRINCETON, Ky, Jan. 1o--A man by the
name of Terry, claiming to be follower of
one Russell, of Philadelphia, has been
preaching new religion in this county for
a few weeks past and is causing considera-
BILE excitement i'll some neighborhoods. He
claims that Christ came again to this earth
in 1874, and is still here, and that the world
will certainly come to an end in October.
1914 He bases this assumption on q mathe.
matical calculation which he made from the
Bible, and says that by a close calculation
he can figure the precise day and minute of
the event.
He has no name for his religion, but says
the people have all along been living in the
dark ages, ard that only recently has God
revealed the mysteries of the Bible and
brought forth the true light and correct un-
derstanding of His Holy Word, and that the
doctrine he is now preaching is the only
true one. Mr.. Terry created considera bic
excitement and obtained four or fiye con-
verts, who say that they will build church
at once. He is about so years old a good
talker, and appeared to be in earnest with
his work.

CANADIANS COMING IN.
How the Alien Contract Labor Law Is
Ignored on the Border.

Ignored on the Border.
LoCKPoRT, N. Y, Jan. 10.-[ Special. /
The alien contract labor law is subject
that should receive attention at the port of
Suspension Bridge. That the law is
openly and wantonly violated does
not admit of a denial. AT Suspension
Bridge the exodus of Canadians of both
sexes into the United States for the pur-
pose of obtaining employment is large. and
in some instances persons employed on this
side go to and from their homes in Canada
everv day in direct violation of the law.
Others locate here temporarily, being en-
ployed by the railroad or holding other
positions which in the nature of things
belong to American citizens.
Statistics show that the population of
Canada is steadily decreasing, and it is a
well-known fact that many families have
moved to this side of the river during the
past year to take advantage of our superior
opportunities. A natural outcome of this
state of things is a feeling of jealousy
among our own citizens. There is q strong
sentiment in favor of giving the law a
severe test to ascertain what its real pur-
pose is, and also to know just what cases il
applies to.

z. S. Troops Won't Allow Montana Officers
to Make Arrests on Reservations.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 10.-There is dam
ger of bloodshed on the Tongue River
Agency. For long time the cattlemen
have accused the Indians of killing their
cattle, and during the past few weeks,
being unable to get at the Indians in any
other way, they have been urging the
Sheriff to take posse and enter the reser-
walton to make arrests.
Captain Bourke, of Troop K, First Cav
airy, stationed at the agency, heard of this
and telegraphed the facts to General Mer-
ritt. Thereupon General Merritt tele-
graphed Governor Toole, advising him to
preAent the civil authorities from entering
the reservation. The Indians are accus-
toned to the presence of the soldiers and
would quietly submit to an arrest by them,
but they would regard the pIesence of
others as an interference. Had the posse of
whites under the Sheriff attempted the ar
rests trouble would have followed. This
periodical Indian scare is causing the army
officers no uneasiness.

Drusged viii Probably Die.
BEAVER FALLS, JAN 10.-[ Special. Re
ports from Dixmont state that the insane
man, Patrick Morris, is rapidly sinking,
and will likely die. Police have been bust
ly, but vainly, looking for some clew to the
place or persons who gave Morris the
drugged liquor. New Years Eve Morris
was found sitting on the river bank crying:
81 did not do it! o, God forgive mel" As
Father Bauer had just found roll of
money in his yard, it was thought Morris
was connected with it and he was arrested.
A fearful struggle took place in the Jail in
forcing Morris into cell, and it is said he
was beaten almost to death by the officers,
who used clubs, pieces of boards, etc.
Morris friends say the money was his,
and that he came by it honestly. He was
employed on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railroad. He worked about an hour
Wednesday and then left. The next seen
of him was the next night, when he sat on
the river bank, Where he was in the mean
time, and what drove him insane, will
hardly be learned.
