Dead Mems Food In Yucatan.

From remote times they have been
accustomed to make offerings to the
souls Of the departed. particularly a
certain pie that they call food of the
soul" The crust must be of yellow
corn, the interior tender chicken and
small pieces of pork. These pies are
wrapped in leaves of the banana tree
and baked underground between hot
stones. When done, they are placed
on the graves or hung from trees
close by. Sometimes. after leaving
them there for an hour or two, the
living take home the pies and enjoy
them, saying that the souls have al
ready drawn from them all the ethe

IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE.
A Lad Who Believed That He Was
Murderar

CHICAGO. Dee. 8.-The police to-day
sent throughout the West descriptions of
Charles Vaudervoort, the 15-year-old son
of wealthy Chicago parents. Who has been
in hiding since November z, believing
himself to be a murderer. On the day of
his disappearance young Vandervoort ac-
cidentally shot playmate, and thinking
the wound fatal hid for several days in a
small cave near his parents home in En-
glewood. The injured boy was only
slightly hurt, but Vandervoort's compan-
ions, as joke, told him that his victim was
dead. They supplied him with food, and
while his parents were frantically seal CHI
ing for him the boy took night train for
Denver, after trading his own clothes for
those Of beggar. When last heard of
he was in Brookville la. His father, H.
r. VaEdervoort, who is a promi ent bust

BOTH TO BE LET IN.
Arizona and New Mexico Prob

Events Seem to Indicate THAT Both
VIII Be Made States i'm
Short Order.

WASHINGTON, Dec. The friends of
the territorial admission bills feel much
relieved over the action of the Democratic
senatorial caucus in deciding to place
these bills on the preferred calendar
There had been some opposition feared
from the fact that Arizona and New Mex
leo had elected Republican delegates TO
Congress at the last election. which, it
was thought, would have the effect of
causing the Democratic Senate TO decide
against taking the bills up at the present
session. Senator Faulkner, chairman of
the Territorial Committee, has been per-
sistent advocate of the policy OF includ-
ing these bills in the programme for the
short session, meeting the arguments Of
those who would have had the bills side
tracked for political reasons, with the
assertion that the result of the recent
election could not be accepted as in any
sense an indication of the permanent po-
litical preferences of the people of the Ter
rteries.
Delegates Joseph and Smith, represent
ing the two Territories, and both Dent o.
Gratis, confirmed this opinion. B th of
them have been spending considera BILE
time on the floor of the Senate recently.
giving close attention to the admission
question. They urged upon Democratic
Senators that it is unfair to judge the
predictions of their respective constitu-
encies by the results in the contests for
delegates. In the Territories, as else
where, many Democrats remained away
from the polls at the Noyem Der election.
Messrs. Joseph and Smith argue from
these premises that the Territories will
prove safely Democratic as States, and ara
urging that programme for admission be
carried forward just as zealously as though
they were both to continue to sit in the
House Cor the next two years.

and another fatally wounded. The fight

be murder was not discovered until the

SAID the murderers aighted from the tram

The ghastly find was made by Brakeman
Beeber while looking for tramps who had
been on the train. When he found them
two were dead. and one had his head pill
lowed upon the breast of one of his CON-
panions. and was still unconscious. When
the train reached this city the dead men
were taken to the undertakers, while the
wounded one was conveyed to the Ameri-
can House, where medical aid was sum-
mOned and everything possible was done
for him. Under surgical treatment he re-
vived and made the following state ment:
"My name is Henry Harris and my two
companions are named Henry Reesh and
Arthur E. Brown. We all lived at Au-
burn, Ind., and last night boarded the
freight to strike out and look for work.
When we got TO Deshler, about twenty
five miles west of here. four men boarded
our car and made demand for ouI
money. We had a fight and they CON-
menced shooting and l was shot down. /
think the men left the car at Deshler
again. They got $12 in money from me-"
ReeSh was found to have four bullets in
his head. any one of which would have
proved fatal. Brown was shot five times
in the body and once in the head. Harris
had two bullets in his head and one in the
left breast. The car in which the shoot
ing was done looked like a slaughter
house, and about twenty-five empty shells
were found on the floor. ranging from 80
to A cal Der. There is no clew to the
murderers except description of five men
gwen by the Marshal of Garrett, Ind.
who says he drove FIVE tramps out of Gar

together with Lawyer Henry Haigh, on
complaint of I. E. Simmons of Tacoma,

Haigh were arraigned before Justice
Grady in the Tombs Police Court to-day.
Haigh said his con necti0n with the affair
was purely legitimate. He was to receive
his commission for whatever notes he dis
posed of. Just who gave him the notes TO
sell be would not say. 1t was found that
