JUMPED FROM A TRAIN.
John Prince. a Desperate Territory
Prisoner, Makes q BoIdi But Unsue-
eessfuI Break for Liberty.

John Prince, a prisoner in
charge of Deputy II. +. Doni-
than of Cameron court, made a
daring but unsuccessful break
for liberty Saturday afternoon
on the westbound Choctaw near
Gaines creek, just east Of
Hartshorne. He succeeded in
obtaining freedom for n few
hours, but is now paying for
it rather dearly in physical in
jury.
Prince was given n prelimin-
airy hearing in Commissioner
Harrison's court at Cameron
last week on charges of bur-
glary and larceny. He was
charged with burglarizing a
store at Thomasville and was
/ bound over to await the action
of the grand jury. In default
of bond Prince was committed
to Jail and Deputy Donithan
was detailed TO bring him to
the Jail here. As they were
en- route here Saturday after
noon on the westbound Choc-
taw, Prince obtained permis-
sion from the deputy to visit
the gentlemen's saloon. He
had no sooner stepped in than
he raised the window and
swung to the ground with the
train running at its usual rate
of speed. In striking terra
firma he was severely bruised.
The left side of his face was
scratched and bruised and his
right foot sprained. He picked
himself up and started of
through the forest, apparently
Unconscious of his injuries.
When the train reached
Hartshorne Deputy Donithar
procured a rig and started in
pursuit of his prisoner. Prince
was found the next day at a tie
camp in the Limestone noun.

A citiz.n Comma der

NEW YORK, April 7.-Frederic Saint
George lie Latour Booth-Tucker, the new
commander of the Salvation army in this
country, took the first step today toward
becoming an American citizen, when he
made his declaration CT intention in the
naturalization bureau of the supreme
court of this county. Subsequently Com
mander Booth-Tucker went to Salvation
army headquarters. where, in the presence
of the assembled soldiers, he said, holding
aloft the preliminary certificate of natural
ization, that he was proud of having de-
clared his intention to become a citizen of
the United States.
Fully 1000 people assembled in Carne-
gle hall tonight to welcome Mr.. and Mrs.
Booth.Tucker, tho new commanders of
the Salvation army in the United States.
The reception was enthusiastic.
At the opening of his remarks Comman.
der Booth Tucker mentioned the fact that
he had been down to the city hall to be-
come a proper American. The informa-
ton was cheered and the band played
Yankee Doodle.
Mrs. Boo,h.Tucker stated that since
coming to this country she had endeavored
to affect reconciliation.
'You know to what and whom allude,"
she said feelingly, and asked all the SOL
diers present to pray here with her for the
fulhllinent of what she SO much desired.

poEto Of the engineers having been in IA
Vor Of San Pedro n tl<e past, they arc
u11o likely to be 50 In the future: al
though, should a board od government
engineers report IN, sawor Of santa Mon
lea, think we should have to accept
that as the prefer able lvrs. My own
opinion, however. = still distinctly in
favor OF San Pedro. AT present the
dredging of the in tide harbor would
6fIdx everything we war (, and the IA
cilitles provided would be adequate
for al1 purposes neces snry for the next
ffre or ten years, and the other would

~ q course, altogether tco small and
wuula be of little use uless put on the
8apis of the continuous contract sys-
tenn.
II don't believe any appropriation
will be made for Santa Monica, at all
events until report has been made in
1oHor OF that harbor by a board of gov
eminent engineers. Ibase that opinion
on my understanding that there is no
precedent for such action.
II maintain I am perfectly consistent
on this matter. depreca tie abuse or
becoming party to the abuse of anyone,
whuu / consider it uncalled FOR. Besides,
abups to my mind is not argument. 1
hope the matter may be sa tisfactor1ly
solved by the senate. AS far as my own
action is concerned deeme it better
to resign from the presidency than not
belng in perfect sympathy and able to
cooperate with the other directors.

SAN FRANCISCO April 7.-General Thos.
H. Hubbard, of New York, one of the
most prominent men in any way con-
nected with Pacific railroad interests. and
regarded, by reason of his legal and busi-
ness acumen, as eligible for the presidency
of the Southern Pacific in the event of the
death or disability of c. 2. Huntington,
arrived in the city today. Soon after
his arrival Hubbard went to the Southern
Pacific offices with Col. c. F. Crocker and
participated in a meeting of the stOckhold-
General Hubbard represents the Searles-
Hopkins interests in the road, for which
reason it has often been rumored that he
might become president of the road in the
event of the consolidation of those inter-
ests.
When spoken to on the subject he pro-
nounced such reports ridiculous, and was
emphatic on the point that Huntington was
sure to be president of the road as long as
he lived and was we'll.
"He is a clear headed business man." he
said, "well preserved and active, and there
is no probability that he will not be re-
elected president of the road"
Third Vice-President Stubbs will prob
ably be elected second vice-president,
which Office has been vacant since the
death of A. N. Towne, and the .oflice of
third vice-president is likely to be abol
ished.
Details of Secretary Wright's report have
not yet been made public, but it is init
mated in railway circles that the policy of
retrenchment adopted about year ago
has resulted in greater profits than at any

Fighting in E0ypt

ROME. April IA dispatch from Masso-
wah has been received here by way of
Perem island, reporting that after Colonel
Stevani's victory over the Dervishes, near
kassala, on Saturday, in a battle in which
he lost 100 men and inflicted loss esti-
mated at 900 upon the Dervishes. he re-
turned to Kassata and the Dervishes re-
tired to the fort and entertainments at
Tucruf. On the following day Colonel
Stevani made q reconnaissance of Ticruf
and vigorously attacked the forts. He
captured some of them, but was unable to
dislodge the Dervshes. He, therefore, re-
turned to Kassala and informed Gen. Bal
dissera, commander of tho Italian forces
in Africa, that he was convinced his forces
were strong enough. and that he proposed
to renew the attack in the morning.
In view of tho general situation, how.
ever, Gen. Baldissera refused to sanction
this plan, and ordered Col. Stevani to
evacuate Kassala and to retire with his
column upon Agordat, half way between
Kassala and Massowah, which Stevani is
doing,

We have been told several times in
the last few days that there was in the
senate of the United States a man
named Jones who was very largely in
terested at Santa Monica. The story
told US was that this man would defeat
any appropriation for San Pedro Har-
Dor.
So be it! If 1t lies within the power
of the man Jones to absolutely defy the
interests of a million people, to subserve
his own personal concerns then the
time is ripe for change of the present
system of government.
AS far as Colonel Otis is concerned
in this mater organized labor stands
prepared to meet him half way.
Colonel. we congratulate you. For
once in your mad career, you are right,
as we see it.
OF course. it is but human to err. If
we have erred and you can afterward
convince us that we have we will admit
it. That has been your great mistake.
You have been guilty of some lapSes,
but when the proof has been shown to
you with Buckeye perverseness you
have refused to consider facts.
Colonel Otis and the peoples harbor
at San Pedro are two propositions that
are divisable.
Organized labor stands for the peo-
pies harbor at San Pedro and against
Mr. Huntington's harbor at Santa Mon
lea.
While Colonel Otis refers to us very
kindly in his recent issues we have not
forgotten the past.
Whatever that past may be, we do
not propose to sacrifice the public in
terest at this critical junctnre to bring
to justice the man, who, above all 9TH
ers, has been the enemy and antagonist
of organized labor.
The fact that Colonel Otis is right
once, as we conceive right to be, is no
reason why we should take a position
on the left bank of the river. And we
will not do it. We are for San Pedro.

AN EMeNY's SUBTLE WORK
A Petition to Trau the Feet Of the Unwary
0eiag Circulated

0e40B ShkCunukeo
c. d. willard, the secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday re-
ceived the following letter from T.
.Vache 4 Co.:
Sir-Yesterday we signed a certain
petition having reference to ertain ap-
propriations for San Pedro and Santa
Monica harbors. Not und erstanding
the petition we signed it, but since we
have found out that 1t was misrepre-
scented; so please cancel Ottr name on
said petition, and oblige yours truly,
The secretary of the chaniber of COM
merce replied that no peti tions on the
harbor question were beir.g circulated
by the authority of the cha mber of COM
merce that any representation to the
contrary are false and that the chamber
of comuaerce would be obliged by the
names Of any such persons making such
misrepresentation
Paul p. Roycre of the fir m of T. Vache
& Co.. was seen yesterday afternoon by
q Herald reporter and sked as to the
circumstances of his signing the petit
ton. He said: IT was very busy on
Monday afternoon. A man whose name
believe is Todd came in and asked me
to sign a harbor petition. just
glanced at the petition and from what
/ saw was under the impression that
was being circulated by the chamber of
commerce. At all events am certain
that the words chamber of commerce.
were prominently displayed. 1 was, as
j say, much pressed by business, and.
thinking the petition came from the
chandler of commerce. I signed it. I
would give a good deal now if I could
recall it. have been the laughing stock
Of my friends since, to think that have
signed Southern Pacific petition
After some difficulty one of the circu-
lators of the petition was run down,
but it was with more difficulty that he
-. f&.Ir IN r. h
His instructions had evidently been to
remain mum to newspaper men. The
circulator who refused to give his name
was asked who was responsible for the
petition.
He replied: "A party of private citi-
zens."
Can see the petition?"
IN o;nfIeishd yhS cent? et-re rtatha
No: I finished collecting signatures
at 4:30 p. M
Where can the petition be SEEM"
I'm a real estate Office UP town.
The circulator positively refused to
give any further information.
Another man who has been circulat-
ing the petition was seen, but also re-
fused to produce it. Asked as to it's
terms, he said the gist was as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, petition the men,
bers of the chamber of commerce to ad-
wise appropriations of all the money
that can be got for any ports in Los An
geles county"
citizen who desired to be nameless
said that he had been asked to sign and
was certainly under the impression that
the petition read: I'VE, the undersign-
ed members of the chamber of COM
merce." He further said that solicit
tor for signatures had told him they
only wanted the names of members of
the chamber.
The merchants on Los Angeles street
have been closely canvassed, but ap-
parently despite the possible misappre-
hension as to its origin very few sigma
lures are being gathered in, for Messrs.
vache & Co. said there were not more
than seven or eight names on the docu-
ment they erronously signed.
