WARRANT SWORN OUT
Charging Joseph Jondan With Violating
the Postal Laws.
Other Warrants to Follow - Alleged
sey Authorities May Want Him.

Joseph Jondan the Austrian who has been
under arrest since Christmas evening be-
cause of his having written threatening pos
tails and letters to Vice President Steven
son, Senators Mills. Sherman, Gordon and
others. was taken to the Police Court this
morning. Detective Rhodes escorted him
to the cell room, where prisoners are kept
until they are taken into court for a hear
ing. There he was turned over to Police
man Madigan. who is in charge of the
prison room. -
This officer put the Austrian in the middle
cell, in which was a small colored boy, who
was held on charge of disorder. The boy
evidently knew nothing of the Identity OF
the man with whom he had to spend the
morning, for he exhibited not the slightest
sign of fear. -t
Protested Against the Police Court.
Jondan paced the floor of his cell and
smoked the pipe which he has owned fol-
many weeks. He talked freely to the off,
Ger in charge and the boy who occupied the
cell with him.
He protested against trial in the Police
Court.
II want to be tried in the United States
court" he said. land then will tell some.
thing that will startle the country. It's all
right as long as 1 am kept in one Of these
cells. but when get on the stand / am
going to tell all 1 know
The prosecuting officer examined the
case and ordered the issuance OF a warrant
for violating the postal laws, and Warrant
Clerk .Washburn made out the warrant
charging that the defendant mailed, for
the purpose Of delivery, a postal card con-
tanning certain threatening language.
Violating the Postal Laws.
This il the postal he sent to Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson. and 1t Is more than prob
able that other charges will follow. The
warrant mentioned was sworn out by Chief
Drummond of the secret service, and the
additional warrants to be issued will prob
ably be sworn out late this afternoon or
tomorrow. In these warrants the letter
sent to Senator Mills will perhaps be charg-
ed. 1t is certain that the charge upon
which he is taken into court in the morn
Ing will contain three counts.
The prisoner was not taken into court.
but was committed to jail to be brought up
tomorrow morning. He was anxious to
know of the officer If he could get free
tobacco and newspapers when he reaches
the jail If he can get them he says he
will be happy
He complained Of his quarters in the
police station. +s-.
Alleged Forgery Of Money Orders.
Mr.. Jeffords said that he had received
the Information concerning the alleged
forgery of money orders by the prisoner In
Newark. and before tomorrow morning
further Information will reach here con-
corning his conduct there. II the New
Jersey authorities have a good case against
him he will probably be sent there for
trial

AFFAIRS IN UGANDA.
Expulsion of the Mona mi m edans Ends
Their Power There.

BERLIN. Dec. 27.-The Tageblatt prints
an article by Eugene Wolff. based on let
tiers he mas received from Uganda, Central
Africa. to July %. He says that the Mo-
hammedans have again been expelled from
Uganda, and that he believes their power
in that country Is ended. He predicts. how
ever, that a war between the Christians
and Mohammedans is probable and that
Unvoro will be the scene Of the conflict.
He is also of the opinion that the COM
binatiou Of Protestants and Catholics Is
not likely to endure as the Protestants
have failed to carry out their share Of
agreement entered into with Sir Gerald
Portel, the British commissioner to Uganda
and since Sir Gerald's departure they are
demanding exclusive possession Of the
country.
Judging from all his information at hand
Herr Wolff concludes that the situation in
Uganda is serious.

Card,pr Cotton.

A recent improvement consists of the
driving of the taker-in and doffer of
carding engines for carding cotton or
other fibrous material by one contInu-
GUS band. This is accomplished by
placing on the cylinder band pulley,
which gives motion to a band or rope,
this band then passing around a pulley
on the taker-in shaft, and from thence
around the pulley that drives the dof-
fer; returning from this pulley 1t again
passes around the pulley on the taker-
in shaft, which has two grooves placed
in it in order to keep the bands or
ropes separate, and returns again to
the cylinder. by putting a double
grooved pulley on the cylinder and
three grooves on the taler-in pulley,
additional power may be obtained to
drive the various parts; but even with
the single groove upon the cylinder
pulley, the band passes twice around
the pulley on the taker-in, thus obtain
inga more cffectual result than is prac-
ticable with crossed belt between the
cylinder and taker-in.

The Earth.s Age.

A recent contribution of note to the
discussion of geological problems is
that by DIR. Clarence King in which he
claims to have advanced Lord Kclvin's
method of determining the carths age
to a further point of Importance. Hc
discusses the experimental invcstiga-
tons of DIR. Barus on the effect of heat
and pressure on certain rocks, and par.
ticularly selects the case of diabase,
which has u specific gravity approxi.
mately equal to the average specific
gravity of the earth's crust. In the
light of all the new facts he then re-.
considers the probable rate of cool.
ing of the earth. rendering more pre-
else the conclusions arrived at by Kcl.
vim. As the result of his researches
and Investigations, all of which, it is
needless to say, were conducted on the
widest plane and in the most thorough
manner, DR.. King concludes that the
carth's age probably does not exceed
some twenty-four million ofycnrs not
withstanding the contrary opinion
held by certain biologists.

On our way up from the beach,

"We must kill it by all means. Its

We had often seen black tarantulas
in Arkansas, but white one, with
"eyes on stills" as little Joe put it,
was somewhat out of our calcula-
lions, but as this was Texas we con-
cludcd it was n species peculiar to
tho state and determined to begin a
war OF determination OF the vermin.
Each, picking up q stick, gave
chase. Round and round, up and
down. we dashed. but the new speci-
men to us OF "bugology" had such
marvellous powers OF locomotion that

with celebrity that babe us defiance,
for il it camo toward us with a blood

jumping proclivities of the tarantu!a.
we did not know what moment this
v;cious-looking specimen with the
adjustable eyes might make flying
leap and land on one OF us. During
one of his last attacks, which sent us
skurrying off to respectable dis
lance, our adversary gained enough
time to reach tho house, and under il
went. The house stood about two
feet up from the ground on piles, so
under we went just in time to sec
the thing disappear down Il good
sized hole in the ground. Our sur
prise was increased TO find great
number OF other holes around, and
we wore sure We were right in the

participated in the exciting pastima
of ''drowning out gophcrs." so was
not long in deciding to drown this

mel duty
Soon We were pouring streams Of
water into the holc and dcluring tho
