CHICAGO, June 12.-Eugene V. Debs. who
disappeared so mysteriously yesterday and
broke his appointment to meet the federal
marshal and go to Woodstock Jail, sur
rendered himself at 10 o'clock this morning,
shortly after the entire force of federal
deputy marshals in Chicago had been sent
out to search for him. Debs explained his
absence by saying he was ill yesterday. He
went to the Office in the afternoon and fell
asleep, he said, not awakening until to-
day. Aside from bad headache he seemed
to be in good health when he arrived at
the marshal's office. He deeply regretted,
he said, that he had failed TO keep his ap-
pointment with the deputy marshal who
was to have taken him to Jail last night
and was much surprised TO hear OF the
search that had been made for him. Debs
was emphatic in his denial of the story
that his tardy surrender was the result of
a too free indulgence in liquor. He was
kept in the marshals office during the day.
This afternoon at o'clock he was taken
10 the Jail at Woodstock. and Howard was
taken to the Will county jail at Joliet.
