DEBS DISAPPEARANCE
The A. R. q. Strike Leader Fails
to Show Up
TO SERVE HIS TERM IN PRISON.

he Had Been Released on Parole, and
Failed to Show Up to be Taken to
Woodstock Jail at the Time Agreed
Upon.
T CHICAGO, June 12-Five of the officers
of the American Railway union returned
to the Woodstock jail last evening. Presi-
dent Eugene v. Debs failed to report on
time for the train. He called on the mar
shal at noon and was requested to report
ut 4 o'clock at the marshals Office, with
the others, or at the Northwestern station
at 8 o'clock. Messrs. Rogers, Keliher,
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 marshal that he had busi-
ness to contract, but that he would be
through in time to take the train.
Deputies Logan and Curran boarded the
train with the five men who had reported,
and Deputy Clark returned to the mar
shal's Office with the Debs commitment
papers. The marshal was vexed at the
failure Of Debs to report on time, and he
sent three men to look for him. II don't
think he has purposely missed his train"
said the marshal "yet his failure to report
on time is annoying. 1t places Mr.. Debs
In bad light 1 paroled him until
o'clock, and he should have been here"
The marshal does not believe that Debs
may have run away. "He has all to lose
and nothing to gain by such move" he
said "He would be a fugitive from JUS
tice and would not dare to return to the
United States He feels that in going to
jail he strengthens himself among his
sympathizers. His bondsmen are no
longer liable for his return, as he surren-
dered himself to me at noon, and that act
released him of his bonds.
"While the absence of Debs does not
alarm me, confess that 1 am consider
ably chagrined over it. Had he sent me
word that he could not finish his business
during the afternoon would have unhes-
itatingly given him his freedom day
longer"
Martin ]. Elliott, the seventh prisoner,
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 in reaching Chicago from the
east
Owing to Debs' failure to report George
w. Howard secured another days respite.
Howard, who has quarrelled with his for
mer associates and established rival Or
ganization, desired to serve his sentence
separate from the others, and the desire
was mutual. Yesterday Judge Woods
wired Judge Showalter to transfer How
ard from the Woodstock Jail to the win
county jail, at Joliet.
Marshal Arnold intended taking How
ard there on the O o'clock train last night,
but Debs' absence gave Howard another
night with his family. The commitments
papers were made out for six months In
Debs' case and three months in each OF
the others, less seventeen days served,
from Jan. to Jan. "a, in the Woodstock
jail The commitment was made on the
Interstate commerce contempt case The
men are SO confident that Judge Woods
will recorder the Santa Fe sentence to be
concurrent that they give themselves no
concern on tho probability of having to
serve double time.
