Three Absentees at the Preliminary
Session in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.-The Anglo
American joint high commission began its
sessions here to-day, having adjourned its
early sessions at Quebec to meet at Wash
ington after the elections. 1t was the first
gathering of the commissioners, collectively,
in Washington. The absentees to-day were
Sir Wilfred Laurier and Sir Louis Davies
who are detained at Quebec, and Mr.. T. J.
Coolidge. of Massachusetts. The prelmin-
airy gathering to-day was in the diplomatic
room of the State Department where after
an exchange of greetings, the commission
was welcomed by Secretary Hay, who ac-
companied the members to the White House.
where they were presented to the President
The business session followed at the COM
missions commodious quarters which COM
prise a floor of the Arlington Hotel annex.
The meeting to-day was mainly for the pur-
pose of adopting the general plan of busi-
ness to be followed here.
The commission did not hold an afternoon
session. but a committee consisting OF Lord
Hersehel, Sir Richard Cartwright and
Messrs. Dingley and Kasson was in session
Owing to MIR. Kassons official position as
reciprocity commissioner, and the prom
inence of Mr. Dingley in tariff affairs, 1T was
inferred that this committee was working
on questions of reciprocity. No announce
ment was made as to the committee work.

A FREAK PRISONER.
Refused to Speak for Six Years, and
Hair Grew to Fifty-FOur Inches.
Ira0o;eoo (e,ro,,;oIa


Edward J. Cunningham was released from
San Quentin yesterday after serving a sem
tence of six years for burglary committed
in Orange county, and with his liberation
there passed from the prison walls one of
the Strangest characters that ever wore the
striped garb of the penitentiary.
When Cunningham was landed within the
walls of San Quentin Prison he turned to
the sheriff who had conducted him thither
from the southern part of the State and
swore heavily solemn oath that no word
would escape his lips during the period of
his incarceration. Little attention was paid
to his strange declaration at the time. A
mans dependency takes peculiar forms at
times, and the prison attaches confidently
expected Cunningham to regain his normal
attitude toward the rest OF his small world
when he recovered from the momentary
pangS that come to an offender when the
prison gates close behind him. But Cunning
ham stood by. his oath through the long,
weary years of his sentence, and his tongue
never loosened until he stepped without the
prison walls yesterday, free man.
Whenever it became necessary for Gun
ningham to communicate his needs or wants
to others, he did so in writing or by mo-
tons After being confined In the prison
short time he was Thought 10 be insane,
he was confined but short time. for 1t
was soon ascertained he was in his right
mind and merely acting In stubborn man
ner Word was sent TO the prison officials,
and Guard Miller was sent to the asylum
to bring the prisoner back. When near
Santa Rosa he jumped through a car win
dow but was captured after a hard chase.
After his return ne still preserved an in
violabe silence and was put into what is
known as crank alley. Here all kinds OF
influence brought to bear upon him to
cause him to speak, but without avail. He
also refused to have his hair cut, and when
released Yesterday morning his hair was
measured and was found to DE fifty-four
inches in length.
When relieved of his prison garb smile
overspread his countenance. Several people
spoke to him. but he only grinned. Once
outside the prison gate Cunningham made
up for lost time. He condemned every one
around the prison for his confinement.
When asked how he managed to control
himself and preserve an unbroken silence
for so many years, he angrily. replied that
he had no explanations to make.
AS usual Cunningham was given money
enough to carry him TO whatever part of
the State he desired TO go. He asked for
ticket to San Francisco, where he claimed
he would beg for a living.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 10.-Steps are being
taken to rearrest Francis Gallagher, when
his sentence for the murder of James Du-
gan expires. Gallagher stabbed Dugan and
Joseph Reed to death two and half years
ago, when a crowd of young men was
fighting in the dark. He was tried first for
the murder of Reed and was sentenced to
twenty-one years. He was granted a new
trial and was then tried for the Dugan
killing and was sentenced to two years.
The Reed charge still holds good and the
movement to rearrest him is principally the
result of his bad conduct in prison. 1t was
shown that Gallagher was taking the part
of an old man in the fight, when a crowd
of glasSworkers pounced on him in the
woods. He pulled Barlow knife and did
the work. The trials attracted a great deal
of attention, as Gallagher was employed in
the Whiteley malleable iron works, nom
union. and the other men were union glass
workers.
