HOWGATE IN A CELL.
THE ALLEGED EMBEZZLER
IN WASHINGTON.
He Occupies Guiteau's Former
Quarters-His Daughter Still
Loyal to Him.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Capt. How
gate, the defaulting eX-chief of the sig
nal service, was brought back to Wash
ington today, after an absence of thir-
teen years. He arrived in charge of
United States marshal and eX-Chief
Drummond. OF the secret service. who
effected his capture. He showed little
concern, smiling and chatting with the
officers as he passed along. lie was
poorly dressed in rough gray clothes,
and his face looked haggard. The
party drove to the office of the United
States marshal for the District of Co.
lumbia. where deputy and Miss Ida
Howgate. daughter of the prisoner,
were waiting. He greeted his daughter
atfectionately but quietly aud without
dramatic demonstration. Mrs. How.
gate, who lives here, was not present.
When the formal papers had been
arranged Capt. Howgate was put in the
prison van and driven to the Jail. He
said he felt no regret at returning,
although he felt intense regret at the
first miSStep which had brought HIM
SO much trouble. Howgate was as
signed to Cell No. 2 in murderer'S row,
which is the cell once occupied by
Guiteau. This was not as an indignity,
however, but because the cell is very
strong and closely watched. The pris-
oner will not be arraigned for several
days. He said lie had 10 statement to
make public at present.

kings and capitalists combined against
Biermann, and threw themselves upon
him like hungry wolves. Notwith-
standing he stood for his rights and the
rights of the people, and detied them
all. 1t was something unheard of in
the history OF the state. 1t had never
occurred that an official dared deny the
rich and powerful ones anything, and
take stand against them in the inter-
est of the state and It's people. But
Biermann dared. and as consequence
he was marked for the slaughter. III
veStigations of every kind and color
were started against him, but nothing
could be found to his dScredit or detri-
ment. but much against his predecessors
in office. Then it became necessity to
prevent his denomination. but, as usual,
he came out victorious by large ma
jority. The plan Is now to slaughter
him in the election, but this also will
prove unsuccessful. Biermann stands
alone against an enormous wall of cap
ital and political influence, but never
theleSs he will win, thanks to the senti-
ment of justice and fair play that still
lives In the people,"
rs it right to persecute man
for doing what is his PLAIN duty?
Would it not be shame for this state
to desert him?" asks the Tidning. 1T
can not. it shall not be allowed, and it
is not possible for 1t to be accom-
plished," answers the paper. "if the
voters are made aware of what inspires
the fight which is being made against
him. This paper. at least, will do its
duty and let the people know it. and we
are confident the result will be a great
victory for Biermann on the day of
electiOn.''

IN AN INCUBATOR,
Failure Of an Attempt to So Bring
Up Babe.

ID u DRUG.
New York, Oct. 4.-Baby Halght is
dead. The baby's father was Edward
Clarence Haight, of the wealthy family
of that name. When the baby was
born Drs. Carleton and Walker were
called in, but they could not save the
mothers life. AS she lay dead in the
bed it was feared that the little mite of
humanity - for it weighed only two
pounds-would soon follow her into the
other world. The physicians decided
that an incubator might be of some
service. The girl baby was placed In
bed of the softest cotton. in the incuba-
tor OF the most approved pat
tern. 1t was of glass, 8 feet 6
inches long. Q feet and inches
wide. and about the same height. There
was double glass door, made that no
steam might collect on the door and
prevent an occasional peep at the baby.
There were three walls On each side,
Between the outer and the middle wa(l
the hot air was stored, while water filed
the space between the middle and inner
walls. This kept the atmosphere inside
at temperature Of about 100 degrees,
while the water tended to keep the air
moist. At each lower end was a fat
pipe, through which fresh air was
drawn, and this was prepared for the
feeble lungs by being passed all around
the hot air passage. On the top were
exhaust pipes for the hot air and the
air which had been breathed, and there
was an opening SO that the temperature
might be taken.
There baby seemed to thrive. In two

it gave indications of determination to
stay On earth. Twice day little
cradle was wheeled up to the door OF
the incubator, the door was opened, a
blanket was thrown around the feeble

bed, where it lay and kicked and played
with its toes, just as other babies do. Its
father. the physicians and the nurses
were elated, and, after four days, it was
decided to have the baby baptized. The
Rev. DR.. Edward Kenny. of the Church
OF the Nativity, an intimate friend OF
the family. was called, and the door OF
the incubator was opened long enough
for him to sprinkle Il little warm water
over the babe. IL was named FlOreece
Granger, after its mother.
Four months passed, and the physi-
clans decided that the incubator was OF
10 further use. On the advice of the
doctors the family went to Nyack.
Three nurses went with the baby. and
the little girl grew fat and chubby. She

STOP FOREST FIRES.
INSURANCE MEN THOROUGHLY

Minnesota Legislature Will Be
Asked to Pass Stringent
Laws.

CHICAGO. Oct. 4.-Presidant W. J.
Littlejohn, of the Underwriters Asso-
citation of the Northwest, who in re-
cent speech before that organization
charged that the forest fires were started
by lumber dealers to cover their steal
ings. said today that the insurance men
of the country have decided to take
active measures to prevent a reocur-
renee of such fires.
The insurance men," said Mr.. Little
john, ,''are collecting evidence which will
be submitted to the Minnesota commits
sion now engaged IN investigating the
fires. When the Minnesota legislature
convenes all effort will be made to se-
sure the enactment Of stringent laws

able to make explicit charges against
any one, but enough evidence has been
received to convince me that my sur
misses were correct. | have been mis-
quoted as charging these fires TO lum.
Der kings What l said was that
lumber pirates were responsible.
Many of the so-called lumber kings
are now interested in these inyestiga-
tions, and are as anxious as the insur-
ance men that the fires should be
stopped. The timber pirates may have
been extensive dealers in lumber. and
they may have been insignificant firms;
but whether large or small financially,
they are responsible for the awful havoc
that followed the fires, and should be
brought to justice"

drews.
NEW YORK. Oct. 4.-Henry T. An
drews, recently United States consul at
Hankow, China. at the Fifth Avenue
hotel today, was asked to give the AS.
sociated Press his views of the present
condition Of China, particularly in re-
gard to the danger threatening foreign
residents at Pekin. Shanghai and
Hankow and other places open to for
eigners. He said, in substance:
''The question of foreigners leaving
Pekin has been discussed Tor some time
past. Their danger comes from the in
ability OF the Chinese officers to restrain
their soldiers, the latter always consid-
ering foreigners legitimate objects of
ridicule and abuse. Pekin being to a
certain extent an isolated place, it is
most important that the families of
foreign residents should be taken to
points where they can have the protec.
tion Of gunboatS. The bulk of the for
eign population of Pekin are the for
eign officials and their families, cnm-
prising the members of the foreign
legations and such employees of the i'm.
perial customs as are on Sir Robert
Hart's staff and those belonging to the
customs college.
1.-THE only access to Pekin being
over land and hard trip, the route
from Pekin to Tien TSIn could easily
be obstructed and closed, which would
render it impossible to bring away the
women and children except under
strong armed foreign escort. The
British government has evidently taken
cogniZance of the fact, and hence the
report that the government proposes to
send blue-jackets and Indian troops to
Pekin.
II do not think there will be the
slightest resistance offered to the entry
of the British forces into Pekin, first,
because of the respect that all foreign
soldiers inspire among the Chinese, and
second, on account Of the ability of
trained troops. in small numbers, to
successfully resist the attack of any
number of Chinese it is possible to
bring against them.
''ln regard to the coast treaty ports,
they are all so situated that the foreign
population can be taken away on the
packets which touch at them almost
daily.

case of trouble, ana hence the necessity
OF anticipating it. The defense corps

The State Committee Supports
Every Man Nominated at the

The Democratic state central commit.
tee will meet today in the headquarters
in the Globe building. Since the last
meeting the officers and the executive
committee have been hard at work and
now have the campaign we'll under way.
Night by night an increasing number
of speakers are at work, aid every-
where the Democrats are hustling
themselves and preparing to get out the
full party vote. Among other matters
TO be brought before the committee Is
the speech of Judge Flandrau at wi.
mona on last Monday evening when he
allowed his personal feelings to
get him into false position, OF which
the Republican organs are naturally
enough making as much as possible.
Contrary to what the papers are saving
there is no difference Of opinion among
the members of the Democratic com.
mlttee. They are all of one opinion as
to the duty of the state committee. and
this is that it must support all the gen.
tlemen placed in nomination at the late
state convention. Judge FIanJran
knows this and realizes it now. if he did
not before, and there will be no more
trouble over the matter.

American Vessels Protecting
Americans in China.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. - Secretary
Herbert has been forehanded in taking
steps for the protection of the lives and
property of American residents in
China, which are believed now to be
endangered by rebellious and unre-
stra&ned troops.
The cable advices today stating that
the European powers are moving in that
direction were shown to the secretary,
who said that about three weeks ago he
had suggested to Admiral Carpenter to
confer with the commanders of the for
eign ships In Chinese waters and ar
range to cooperate with them if
possible. The plan was to have one or
two ships at each Of the treaty ports
and other coast towns where foreigners
reside, to give protection to the citizens
or subjects of the nations party to the
agreement.
In this way the eight U nited States
vessels assigned to the station would be
equivalent to very many more for pro-
lection purposes.

LIE MARS. To-, Oct. 4.-One of the
most hotly contested church trials ever
held in the Methodist church was ended
about midnight. after continuous ses-
sion of six days. Rev. j. III. Avery,
formerly of Fort Dodge, was the ac-
cused. charged with undue familiarity
with several women of the Fort Dodge
church. Avery was not present, hav-
ing left Fort Dodge for parts unknown
last February. The case was tried be-
fore committee of fifteen ministers of
the Northwestern Iowa conference. and
Rev. Bennett Mitchell. who was the
Iowa Prohibition candidate for governor
last year, presided. Rev. Lewis Curtis,
OF Chicago, editor of the Christian Ad.
yocate. and ex Gov. Carpenter, of Fort
Dodge, defended the accused, whose
whereabouts are still unknown. A
majority of the committee voted to ac-
quit, and as it is not necessary for the
vote to be unanimous, Avery was &C.
quilted.
