The Hancock is the third United
States transport to meet with rnishap

was the Sheridan having on board a
number of returning troops and con-
gressional party which had been visit
ing the Philippines. The Sheridan was
detained at Nagasaki by broken tail
shaft. Her passengers were trans
ferred to the Warren, which sailed
from Nagasaki November g. Two days
later the Warren sustained damage
in the Inland sea which made it nee
essary to return to the dock at Ma
gasaki. The Hancock was ordered to
proceed from Manila to Nagasaki to
take on board the delayed passengers
and it was expected she would sail
from the port named November 13 for

Plot to Kill Truant officer.

Chicago Nov. 15.-That certain boys
of the Ghetto might not be compelled
to attend school, and that they might
have full time for the robing of houses
and the continuation of complete
course in crime. the death of Patrolman
Francesca S. Caparefli, truant officer
of the board of education, was planned
Concerned in the plot were nine boys,
who now are nominally in police GUS
tody in a house for delinquents. Ac-
cording to their confessions, the boys
were instigated to the plot by the Fagin
of their school for stealing. James
Kolis, a Bohemian. 81 years of age.
He is locked in a cell at the Central
police station.
Truant officer Capparelli, against
whom the plot to kill was aimed, owes
by a 6-year- old girl. Either from 10y
atty to his Office. or because of fear in
spired by his blue uniform and brass
buttons, the little girl. q sister of two
of the boys concerned, told the officer OF
the plot. and by her insistence forced
him to look into the matter.
The result, whatever the child's mo-
tive, was that the whole plan was made
clear and the plotters We're taken into
custody.
If the confessions of the small boys
are accurate, the motive of Hollis in
stirring up a plan to do away with
the truant officer was simply that the
officer, in the discharge of his duties,
forced truant boys in the Ghetto to
attend school This was contrary to
the wishes of Kolis, who, it is alleged,
wanted them to continue under his
training for criminal life.
The boys who We're first taken in
custody were Sollie Cohen and Ike
Kahn, the latter being borther of the
little girl who exposed the plot. The
charges We're laid before these boys
and after little hesitation they con-
fessed to the existence of the gang and
to Kolis detailing them to steal a re-
volver to kill Capparelli.

A SEVERE REBUKE.
Board Of Control S..arses State College
and University With Using Appro-
priations for Lobbying and Banquets.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Nov. 15.-The State Col
lege at Ames and State University are
severely rebuked by the state board of
control In their biennial report. made
Public today. It is charged that the ap-
prorriations for these institutions were
used for expense of lobbying the legisla-
ture and fer bouquets and hotel bills. In
concluding the chapter on appropria-
tons the board says:
THE Investigations made show that it
had been the practice Of the governing
boards of the three educational institu-
tions to appropriate each year sums of
money for banquets or similar enter
tainments. 1t may be said in support
of the practice that it has existed for
years without legislative disapproval;
that it is common in similar private. if
not public, institutions We are of the
opinion, however, that it is at least
doubtful if such use of the public funds
is authorized. If desirable. its legality
should be placed beyond question.
I'VE condemn with less hesitation an
other use of public moneys disclosed by
the inspections. 1t appears that about
$500 of the funds of the college at Ames
were used in paying the expenses of
members of the faculty to attend the
session of the twenty-eighth general as
sembly. This included hotel bill for
one person for nearly 800 Bills for SIM
liar purposes but for small aggregate
amount We're allowed by the regents of
the State University. 1t is our under
standing that expenses may be incurred
by officers of the educational as we'll as
all other institutions in attending ses-
sions of the general assembly which are
proper to be allowed, as where they are
made necessary to appear and give in
formation at the request of the general
assembly or of it's committees, but the
expenses criticised were not of that
character. but We're incurred for lobby
ing purposes to secure legislation, and
not merely to give information or as
sistance asked by legislative authirity
That such use of funds. whether public
or private, is dangerous is well estab-
lis,h ed /"

PYTHON SWALLOWS ALLIeAToR.
Big Snake Eats Alligator Weighing
Twenty Pounds.

New York, Nov. 15-To be swallowed
alive was the fate of an alligator that
is now in the stomach of a large pytfaon
in the menagerie in Central Park. With
its body swelled to nearly twice its nor
NAL size, the snake crawled yesterday
about the tank in the monkey house ap-
parently not inconvenienced by its gas
tronomic effort. Tho William Snider and
Peter Shannon, keepers, discovered ear
ly yesterday morning that the larger of
the two alligators in the tank had disap-
peared, it was not believed that the
snake could have swallowed it. until Mr..
Smith. director of the menagerie, had
examined the python. and gave it as his
opinion that such was the case
The outline of the alligator could be
seen on the body OF the snake, and eff
forts were at once made to take it from
| Its position, but the keepers were unable
10 rescue it. When Snider and Shannon
grasped its body the python struggled
and squirmed, trying to twines itself
about them. After working for three
hours trying to force the alligator from
the snakes stomach the men gave up
the task.
Several snakes were placed in the tank
with the alligators two months ago, and
until the occurrence of yesterday the
reptiles had remained together in peace.
Keepers say that the act Of the python is
almost unprecedented. It was fed on
"Wednesday, and at 6 o'clock that ever
ing appeared to be in torpid state.
Twelve feet in length, 1t is slim and
muscular, and is the largest of the
snakes in the tank. The alligator which
II deyoured was four feet in length and
weighed about twenty pounds. The re-
naming alligators and the other snakes
were taken out Of the tank yesterday.
II was feared the large python might
harm them.
William Snider, who has observed the
habits of snakes and alligators for many
wears, said yesterday: "The remarkable
thing about the occurrence and what
will puzzle animal men is how the snake,
with it's small throat, managed to swal-
low the alligator. The snake will easily
digest the alligtor. 1t will probably not
eat anything, however for several days,

ma, consul general of the United States
for northern Mexico, received the rec
ords today in the celebrated Mealey
case He is urged to act promptly and
has accordingly hastened them to
Washington, with recommendations. He
emphatlcaly states there Is a conspiracy
to persecute Mealey, and unless the
government secures his release at once
and obtains redress the rights of all
Americans will be jeopardized.
Mealey was confined in Mexican
dungeon on what he alleged was a
trumped-up charge of contempt of
court. He alleges it is the result of an
effort to dispossess him of "Alionza"
mine, which is said to possess fabulous
wealth. He says those contesting his
title include prominent officials and rel
atives of members of the Mexican cabi-
net. He alleges he was given the alter
native of signing away his rights or inn
prisonment.
