CHICAGO WIND=SWEPT.
STORM PROSTRATES TELEGRAPH
SERVICE OVER A WIDE AREA.

CHICAGO, March 10.-One of the worst
wind storms of the season struck Chicago
early today, and during the two hours
that it was at it's height, damaged prop
erty throughout the city to the extent
of $4,000 Many heavy plate glass win
doWs were blown in. Telegraph and tele-
phone companies were the worst suffer-
ers, and it will be some time before order
can be restored. Thousands of poles were
blown down, and Chicago was practically
Isolated from the west and northwest bv
telephone and telegraph tonight and all
day today. The long distance telephone
service was crippled badly, and was of
little or no value. Up to a late hour to-
night neither Milwaukee nor MINNEAPOLIS
could be reached by long distance tele-
phone. The storm is believed to have
been the most severe in Southern Wis
consin Along short stretch of the Mil
waukee road in Southern Wisconsin, 500
telegraph poles are down. Reports from
many points in Indiana and Kentucky
also indicate heavy damage from the
storm The Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies suffered severely
by fallen poles. 1t was estimated that
there were no fewer than 5000 poles in
the city thrown by the fury o. ne wind
and storm. Telegraph service also as far
west as Omaha was stopped until late
this morning Trains entering Chicago
were delayed from ten minutes to an
hour. The Burlington and Milwaukee &
st. Paul companies were the worst suf-
ferers in this respect. All the roads suf-
fered damage to their tracks and switch
yards. At the life saving station at the
mouth of the Chicago river it was con-
sidered the worst gale that has struck
Chicago harbor since 1869. The water
lashed into fury, came up to the life
saving station and flooded the floor

Mr.. Glennon. The other guard is now
IN custody. 1t is known that confessions
nave been obtained from two Of the par-
ties implicated and possibly three.
From the story gained by these con-
tessions and by the investigation it has
peen learned that the guard was bribed
to be an aCcomplice to the plot and was
accordingly paid the sum Of s435 by the
woman The money was paid in .lanu-
ary' nut the planning began early last
december The agreement with the
guard was that he should procure a kew
which would unlock one of the doors
leading TO the yard and also give the
necessary information.
Leland was one Of a. number of con-
VETS that had been trusted in the morn
ing to wait on the cOnvicts in the dining
ROOM and it was the usual custom to LET
MIN go to the dining room at 5:45 every
morning. On going from his cell to the
dining room he had to pass a door lead
ing out into the yard and the plan Of
escape outlined was that, while on his
way to the dining room he should stem
TO one side without being noticed This
would be very easy to do as it does not
get to be daylight until later in the
morning. Then he was to unlock this
door with the aid of the key this guard
was to procure and open the door. Once
on the outside he was to lock the door
again and cross the-yard to the south
wall of the prison. about $50 feet distant
in the rear of the warden's residence.
Tcre is where the work of the other
confederate came in, for this second per-
sen was to be in waiting with a rODe
ladder suspended from the south wan.
Once over this wall, Leland was to pro-
ceed up the side of the hill through the
trees to place whore the woman was
to be with a team and another suit OF
clothes for the fugitive. The officials
also have information that the guard
had had one key made, had tried it in
the door and found that it Was faulty.
The impression of the key had been
taken in soap made by Leland.
On discovering that the key waS faulty.
the guard reported the discovery to Le-
land The convict then told Aim what
material he wanted to make an accurate
impression, and the guard said he would
go to st. Paul and get it. IT was at this
stage of the game that the telegram,
which proved to be a bogus one, was
brought into play The guard went to
st. Paul. but when he returned to Still
water it was IN the custody of prison
officer. The officers also found the key
which was to do the work The matter
is causing a great deal of talk in Still
water especially as the guard, who was
to furnish the way, was always well
thought of.
Leland is about thirty years old, and
was committed to the prison from Min
neapOlis on Oct. 30, 1899, to serve a ten
year sentence for robbery in the first
degree He is regarded as a desperate
character by the prison officials.
TIE charge which faces the guards and
the woman under arrest is felony, and,
in case they are convicted, is punishable
by Imprisonment not to exceed seven
years or a fine of 81 eco, or both.

JOPLIN'S HUGE SWINDLE
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR A
SHOE STRING.


JOPLIN, Mo-, March -10.-The great
International Zinc company swindle de-
veloped some new features today when
D. K Wenrich, postmaster of Joplin
and George E. Quinby, former state
mine inspector, who were represented
as vice president and consulting engi-
neer of the company, denied having
had any connection with the company
Postmaster Wenrich said he was prom
ised 1900 worth of stock in the COM
pany if he would allow the use of his
name as a director of the company,
which was to be stocked at $3.50, ,03O.
The company was stocked at $1,00lC00,
and Mr.. Wenrich, at Joshua Browns
suggestion, was made vice president of
the company. AS soon as he knew he
had been made vice president and the
stock had been increased four fold, Mr..
Wenrich resigned and withdrew from the
company without ever receiving the
promised $1,000 worth of stock
GEORGE E. QUINBY'S EXPERIENCE.
Mr.. Quinby's experience was q lilar to
Mr.. Wenrichs. Johsua Brown 4 Co., of
New York, the promoters and only peo-
pie who made anything out of the big
swindle. wanted to use the names of
these officials in order to help sell stock.
A. G. Foster, the president, and j. B.
Carmichael, secretary and treasurer of
the company, it is said, were also i'm
posed upon by the alleged New York
bankers. Joshua Brown & Co., of No.
45 Wall street.
The properties of the International Zinc
company consisted of some mineral
leases and two zinc mines of small value
They are said to have sold more than
half million dollars worth of stock
at almost par, the purchasers, as a
rule being wage earners and people of
ma Noe Of %r,ol-
sold in the Eastern states and in Eng
land. When the promoters had sold all
of the stock they could Joshua Brown
& Co. quit working the mines, closed
their New York office, and, it is said,
went to Europe.
The company is now in the hands of a
receiver, and there is little chance for
the unfortunate stockholders ever get
ting ANYTHING for their money.

CAPE MALAYS OBJECT
TO PLAGUE QUARANTINE.

CAPE TOWN, March 10-The official
reports regarding the progress of the bu-
bonic plague in Cape Town says the out
break shows a total of twenty-five deaths
and 1O2 cases. The Malays gathered to-
day to oppose the removal of a Malay
who had been attacked by the disease
and of several persons who had come into
contact with the victim. The police were
oVerpowered, and the persons who had
come into contact with the Malay made
their escape. In the event of a repetition
of this experience 1t will be necessary
to employ an armed force More trouble
is anticipated.

on a voyage from Cuba to New York

North Carolina coast on March 4. Shs

orders for the steamer to proceed to her
destination part of her crew mutinied,
refusing to obey the order to proceed.
According to Capt. Smiths interpreta-

taken before a United States commits

Deep Laid Plan to Help Leland Es-
cape Is ThWarted BY
Warden Wolfer
THREE PERSONS NOW UNDER ARREST
Guard Takes Bribe to Aid Long
Term Convict to Sc
cure Freedom.

One of the most carefully planned
prison deliveries that has ever come TO
light at Saltwater was nipped in the bud
yesterday, and, as a result, Edward Le-
land, convict, before whom lay a num-
Der of years of incarceration. is in
state of dependency, and two of the
most trusted guards at the penitentiary
are under arrest on a charge of being
his accomplices in an attempt to escape.
a woman, who figures conspicuously
in the plot, is also in the clutches of the
law. Had it not been for the timely dis
covery which was made by Warden
Wolfer, it is more than likely that Le-
land would now be a fugitive, and it is
rumored in some quarters that he would
not have left alone.
About 1 O'Clock on the afternoon of
Friday, March l, the woman who is now
under arrest, came to the prison and
asked to see Leland. 1t is not an unu-
sual thing for women to visit the con-
Victs, and her request was granted The
guard, who was most deeply concerned
in the plot, was on duty at the time,
and when he was relieved in the evening
he went out, an1 did not return until the
following morning. AS he lived at the
prison, his failure to return during tho
night aroused the suspicious of Warden
firm them until the following Sunday,
when the woman called again. When
she left the officials noticed that this
guard joined ner when she had gone but
a short distance and walked down
town T-ith her An investigation was at
once set on foot, and it was soon learn
ed that the two had heen spending con-
siderable time together, and the guard
had met her frequently by appointment
IN st. Paul.
The prison officials then searched the
office of the tWine room department,
where Leland worked, to see if he was
receiving mali from any other sources
than the regular channels. They found
nothing, however. except a number of
letters torn into bits. After considerable
work two of these were put together
and it was learned that one was from
the guard and the other from an outside
party. Both letters outlined a set of
plans which were to be followed in the
attempted escape. With this informa-
ton the investigation was pushed
further. The guards and woman in the
case were shadowed and discriminating
evidence of a very strong character OBJ
tanned.
