GEORGE TAYLOR is AT LIBERTY
Officers Unable to Locate the Es-
capped Murderer.

Kansas City. April lS.-George Taylor
one of the murderers of the Meeks family,
who escaped from the Carrollton jail
Saturday night has not been captured.
Bill Taylor was brought to Kansas City
for safe keeping. The people of Carroll
ton We're in angry mood and there was
danger that he would be lynched. They
talked bitterly against Sheriff Stanley.
through whose carelessness, they claim.
George Taylor escaped. Absolutely no eff
fort to capture George Taylor is being
made and there is not the slightest clue
to his whereabouts. This morning an
angry mob came TO Carrollton, Deputy
Sheriff Wilson went TO the Jail and de-
manded that Bill Taylor be turned over
TO his men and be taken to the Linneus
Jail. Sheriff Stanley refused. Wilson ;
face was red with anger. He shook his
fist in Stanley's face and said: You let
Bill Taylor escape and the people of my
way will come down and lynch you. We
came close to doing it as 1t was"
Wilson told Stanley that the Taylors had
bought Georges way out. Sheriff Stanley
was advised by the best people of Car
rollton to take Bill Taylor to Kansas City
for safe keeping. The sheriff consented
and stole away from the Jail with Bill
Taylor in a hack in time to catch the 1914
train on the Santa Fe.

its special correspondent:
Havana, April 5.-The condition of af-
fairs is continuing to draw to crisis and
soon there will be a clash which will

ors are rife of a battle in which the in
surgents were victorious. No details can
be learned but there has been considera-
BILE hurrying and scurryfng around the

THE FOE OF EPIDEMICS
ROETGEN RAY SURE DEATH TO
BACTERIA OF DISEASES.
Cholera and Diphtherin Succumbs to
the Proper Application of the
Scientific Marvel.

Chicago, April 13.-Professor w. b.
Pratt and Hugh Wightman, the electro
therapeutic and the bacteriologist Of
Bennett college of this city, claim to
have practically proved within the last
week that epidemics will be impossi-
bic in the future. They claim that Ash
attic cholera is no more to be feared than
earache, and that diphtheria, CHAMBERS
and typhoid must all yield to the new
remedy. the Roentgen rays. The various
germs were grown in tubes in proper
media. Magnetic lines of force from
the Crookes tubes were passed through
them. The application lasted two hours.
Cholera was the easiest, and appears to
have been wiped out entirely. Dipn-
iberia has been treated very tenderly
and favorably. but after eight days
have failed to show the faintest sign of
life.
There has been no activity in the bac-
terra of other classes, and with certain
notifications the doctors are now
ready to announce that the ray proper
ly applied will destroy any form of in
fictitious or contagious germ. This is
Endorsed by the college faculty. and the
entire electrical equipments, the best in
the west. will be turned over this week
for future proof of the discovery. which
is now maintained to be a fact.

United states Supreme Court Hns
Given Judgment.

Washington, April 13.-In the case of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company Va.
Samuel Peterson, an opinion by Justice
Peckham of the supreme court today re-
versed the opinion of the court below The
case was one of damages on account of
an accident and the question involved
was whether a section boss was a fellow
servant or an agent of the road. The
opinion holds him to be a fellow servant.
Justice Peckham also delivered the
opinion of the court in the case of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company VS..
G.. L. Lewis Lewis had claimed damages
for the destruction of 10000 cords of wood
by a fire which started from a Northern
Pacific locomotive. AS 1t appears that
the wood in question was cut upon the
public domain and was located upon gov
eminent land when burned, the court
held that Lewis did not have sufficient
title to 1t to entitle him to damages for
its destruction and decided in favor of the
railway company.
In the United States supreme court to-
day an opinion was handed down in the
case of Woodruff, trustee, VS.. the state
of Mississippi appealed from the supreme
court of the state. The case involved me
validity of the bonds issued by the levee
board of the state for the improvement
of the Mississippi river, which had been
questioned because the bonds were pay
able in gold. The supreme court of the
state had decided that the bonds were
void because the law did not authorize
the payment of the bonds in any particu-
lar kind of money. The opinion of the
court below was reversed and the case
remanded.
