CHICAGO, ILL.,, June n-Five of the Off
GERS of the American Railway Union re-
turned to the Woodstock Jail on the $50
p. m. train this evening. President Eugene
V. Debs failed to report in time for the
train. He called on the marshal at noon
and was requested to report at O'Clock
at the marshars office, with the others, or
at the Northwestern station at o'clock.
Messrs Rogers. Kelliher, Burns, Hogan
and Goodwin saw their chief but an instant
at noon, and they could not account for
his failure to report. Debs told the mar
shall that he had considerable business to
transact, but he would be through in time
to take the train. Deputies Logan and Cur
ran boarded the train with the five men
who had reported. and Deputy Clark re-
turned to the marshals office with the
commitment papers. The marshal was
vexed at the failure of Debs 10 report and
he sent three men to look for nim Bring
him in wherever you find him vas the
marshaPs orders TO his deputies. L don't
think he has purposey missed the traip,'
said the marshal, yet his failure 40 report
on time is annoying. 1t places Mr. Debs in
a,sa he iifc,u.I paroled him until o'clock,
found tonight he will remain in my Office
until train time in the morning"
Martin j. Elliot the seventh man, wired
that he was on his way to Chicago from
Harrisburg, Pa, and would be in some
time during the night. When the party
was first sent to Jail Elliott was two days
behind i'm reaching Chicago from the East.
Owing to Debss failure to report George
W. Howard secured another days respite.
Howard, who has quarreled with his form
er associates and established rival or
ganization, desired to serve his sentence
separate from the others and the desire
was mutual. To-day Judge Woods wired
Judge Showalter TO transfer Howard from
the Woodstock Jail to the VIII county Jail
at Joliet. Marshal Arnold intended taking
| Howard there on the 6 o'clock train, but
! Dehss absence gave Howard another night
| with his family. The commitment papers
| were made out for six months in Debs' 8
case and three months in each of the
others, less seventeen days served from
| Jan. s to Jan. "A in the Woodstock Jail.
| The commitment was made on the inter-
| state-commerce contempt case. The men are
so confident that Judge Woods VIII re-
order the Santa Fe sentence to be concur
rent that they give themselves no concern
on the probability of having to serve a
double time.
I'd to a late hour tonight Debs had not
u.
available deputies of his Office tonight in
search for the missing prisoners, but not
a trace of him was found. At IL o'clock
| Marshal Arnold said that he would give
I'D looking for his man until tomorrow. He
| said: .sWhile the absence of Debs does not
| alarm me- l confess that l am considerably
chagrined over it. Had he sent me worc
| that he could not finish his business during
the afternoon / would have unhesitatingy
given him his freedom a day longer. He
| may have met with accident and gone
ont with some friends and being ashamed
| to come back after train time, is keeping
himself quiet. l would not be surprised te
hear of him going out TO Woodstock dur
ing the night or early in the morning.
The marshal does not believe that DeDs

and nothing 10 gain by such move, ne
said. He would be a fugitive from justice.
