PARIS, Dec 13.-The close of the ex-
position, throwing thousands out OF en-
ployment, has created abnormal condi-
lions in Paris. The sensation caused by
the murder of the man whose body was
found in two parcels in the street here,
Dec. 4, and which is still wrapped up in
mystery, has directed attention to the
fact that the outlying quarters of Paris
are invested by bands of footpads and
hoodlums who terroriZe the residents.
The papers are filed with accounts Of
their nightly exploits Two respectable
workmen were attacked a few nights ago
by four providers, who, after picking a
quarrel, almost decapitated one of the
workmen and stabbed the other in the
abdomen. None of the murderers has as
yet been traced
A feature of these nocturnal attacks is
that they are very often unaccompanied
by robbery, but are perpetrated, APPARENT
ly, by blood-thirsty criminals, frequently
boys in their teens. Four boys, the old
est of whom is seventeen years of age,
gagged and outraged a young girl at La
Vilette recently and then dragged her 30
the canal intending to drown her, when
passers-by rescued the girl.
The bands frequenting Bellcville
and MenilmoO&ant style themselves
"Apaches." They have committed a
number of atrocious and cOwardly at
tacks.
Another and similar band is called the
Amandeers. The police up to the present
seem poWerless to cope with the situa-
ton.
STREET CARS HELD UP.
A gang Of thieves recently held up a
street car in a populous southern district
and robbed the passengers while an i'm
portant electric car line serving the sur
burbs of ST. Denis and St Ouen has re
fused to run its cars later than $50 in
the evening on account of the danger
1t was announced today that the pre-
feet of police had decided to place a
couple of policemen on each street car
running into the surburbs after o'clock
p. M, and that he had also decided to
create a special corps of picked men to be
stationed in the dangerous wards, such
as the ward where the severed body was
discovered. Moreover in order to Sc
cure more clues, the police for several
nights have raided the disorderly districts
and have made large hauls of criminals
wanted on other charges. raid yester-
day evening led to no fewer than 347 ar
rests.
In fairness it must be said that the
present condition of crime is largely due
to the number of workmen, street hawk
ers and others who came to Paris attract
ed by the exposition, and who are now
walking the streets out of work 1t
is estimated by the statistician of the
Central Labor bureau that in twenty-five
trades $4,000 out of $4,000 are out of
work
The officials of the prefecture of police
calculate that 1000 sufferers from the
close of the exposition have joined the
criminal army.

FRIENDS FEAR FOUL PLAY
ABSENCE OF WILLIAM FOELSEN
IS CAUSING MUCH
ALARM
HE WAS LAST SEEN TUESDAY
Henry kOentG, Who Saw Him Last,
Says He Was on HIS Way
HOme-Had Large sum
of Money.
HE WAS LAST SEEN TUESDAY

William Foelsen, one of the leading con-
tractors III this city, and a member OF
the board of police commissioners, has
been missing since Tuesday evening, and
according to the opinion of those who
know him best, has met with foul play
Mr.. Foelsen was engaged on a contract
for the charging of the Hamm Brewery
company, and on Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock he paid his hands, numbering
ninety in all, their wages for the pre-
eeding two weeks. Then he went to the
saloon of Brenck & Krent, Ninth ami
Wabasha, remained there until $50,
boarded an interurban car, and has not
been seen since.
The last of his friends to see him was
Henry f. I<oenig, duel-scarred gradu-
ate of Heidelberg university, who is at
present a clerk in the postoffice. Mr.
Aoenig met him in the saloon referred to
above. This was at 715, and Mr. FoeI-
sen had Just. LETT the scene of his work
at the brewery.
Said Mr.. Koenig to a G o be reporter
last night:
81 feel confident that he has met with
foul play. He invited me to accompany
him home, and as I was going to a re-
hearsal I could not oblige him. We often
go home together as we live within a
short distance of one another. Just as
he left me he said he was terribly sleepy
and gave me two letters to post, which
l did without looking at them. He APP
peared to me to be in his normal con-
dition, and [ fear that he fell asleep on
the car and was taken to Minnea polls.
where he met with foul play. I cannot
help thinking that something serious
happened to him. He had plenty of
money, probably two or three hundred
dollars, from what 1 saw, and robbery
WILL I think, be found to be at the bot
tom of his disappearance"
No alarm was felt until the next morn
ing, when it was ascertained that his
wife had neither seen nor heard anything
of her husband The men continued to
work, but only on such portions as the
directing hand of the contractor was not
necessary.
Yesterday the officials of the brewery
communicated with the wife, and in
formed her that if her husband did not
turn up before the day was over, they
would commence an independent inquiry
as to his whereabouts.
Mrs. Foelsen is naturally greatly alarm
ed; she knows better than anyone that
he had no possible reason for disappear
ing, and she shares with her friends the
belief that some serious accident, if not
his death, is responsible for his non-ap-
pearance.

OF MlNNEsOTA5s PARK

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The Amer
lean Forestry association today opened
its convention here The board of di-
rectors submitted it's report, which was
accepted by the association. The report
says that during the past year popular
interest in forestry has grown remark
ably The condition of the country s
forests is in general markedly improved.
Gen. Andrews, of the Minnesota for
estry department, speaking of the pro-
posed national park in Minnesota, said:
ct contains a little less than 10000
acres of land on ceded Indian reserva-
lions, mostly covered with conifeous for
est, exclusive of Indian allotments and
OF water. 1t embraces important head
waters of the Mississippi and the an
Gent and the present home OF the abor-
igines. Fifteen hundred Indians are liv-
ing there, and will remain. If made
park 1T will be cared for by trained for
esters, the ripe timber cut, natural re-
generation promoted, the young trees left
to grow and a sustained forestry could
be maintained. If there are any good
agricultural lands they can be left out.
The park will be a benefit to forestry and
blessing to the public. But to obtain
1T will require a new agreement with the
Indians, by which they will be credited
with lump sum instead of the pine

WASHINGTON, Dec 13-In the senate
committee on military today the hearing
On the army reorganiza ton bill was con-
tnued and in addition to a number of
army officers, Archbishop ireland and
Bishop McGolrick were heard. The two
pfelates spoke only on the provision Of
the bill prohibiting the establishment of
canteens or post exchanges. Both of
them pronounced the provision unWise
and expressed the opinion that the cam
teen IS IN the interest of temperance and
good morals in the army Archbishop
Ireland based his remarks especially
upon his observations of affairs at Fort
Smelling, near his home, at St Paul
He said that he was sure from all that
he had seen and heard among the SOL
diers that the canteen is a powerful fac
tor in the protection of the soldiers from
outside temptations of all kinds and he
did not accept the theory that the cam
teen brings temptation TO the troops that
otherwise would rot come to them
USE COMMON SENSE.
The archbishop said further that judg-
ing from his observa lions and experience
at Fort Smelling fewer men are found
drinking outside the reservation than
formerly. In former times after pay
day at the fort many of the men would
be found in St Paul and the next day
AA4clily VI llS1lI HOulu luIH up IN the pO-
lice courts. He also spoke of what he
designated miserable saloons along the
border Of the military reservation, which
furnished the soldiers not only with
liquor of the worst kind, but everything
else that makes for iniquity.''
He added: 81 am myself a total alb
stainer, but when it comes to dealing
with the people at large 1 think the only
satisfactory and successful way is to
eliminate the danger as far as possible
and to reduce drinking to the minimum
to advocate moderate temperance"
Senator Burrows asked a question con-
corning the canteen as a temptation to
young men in the army who had never
drunk before entering the ranks
NOT A TEMPTATION.
''That sort of a man in the army is
rather a rare article" the archbishop
replied, ''but if the rare article does
turn up, as 1T may, and if man is found
in the army who has been able to re-
sist the temptations of the saloons in
ordinary life, I think he will be able to
resist the evils of the canteen."

high prices. Atzthe. present rate Of
slaughter the complete extinction of the

CRAWLED THROUGH A TRAP.

Examination of the cars showed that
the robbers gained entrance by crawling
through small trap in the floor of the
vestibule. In the vestibule is a crank
with which a person can uncouple the
car from another. and it was the in
tention of the robbers to disconnect and
get control of both cars, it is believed.
1t is impossible to, tell what the robbers
secured, but it is believed that they made
a good haul Officers are on the case,
but there is little to work on, as the men
could have left the car in three different
places before the train arrived here.

suspects have been arrested at Naples,
