MOntezuma Narrowly Escapes
Destruction in Mid Ocean.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 7.-Unless a
leak has occurred within the ranks of
the conspirators it looks very much as
If the Montezuma, the big British trans
port which began loading mules here
today for use by the English in South
Africa. would have Joined the big list
of vessels lost at sea- At it is such ex-
traordinary precautions are being OBJ
served that there is little chance for
any harm Detailing her. The story Of
the plot which was laid against her and
OF the safeguards which have been
thrown around her came to light to-
day.
The air was alive with rumors yester-
day, but the facts alleged were not
given much credence until today, when
Elder Dempster & Co.. agents for the
MOntezuma, stationed guards at the
gangway and along the decks of the
vessel, and no stranger was allowed to
board her until he had been thoroughly
searched by men detailed for that pur-
pose.
Matthew Warmer, manager of the
branch Of Elder Dempster & Co, at
this port, was yesterday notified that
an organized body of Boer sympathizers
had perfected q plot by which an in
fernal machine was to be introduced in
to the hold Of the next transport to SAIL
timed to explode in mid-Ocean. The
machine, so 1t was said, had been con-
structed on the clockWork plan, the idea.
moment Of it's introduction for the YES
sci to reach mid-Ocean- Had the plot
not miscarried there would have been
no trace of the transport, and the
chances are that every soul aboard
would have gone down with the vessel.
Once in possession of the facts. which,
while not as definite as they might have
been, were sufficiently menacing, and
came from a source sufficiently reliable
to warrant attention, Mr.. Warmer act
ed with remarkable promptness. He
advised the police and employed guards

the crew. Even the members of the
crew who were not implicitly trusted
were compelled to submit to search be-

morning. She had no sooner been al
1otted a berth than the regulations de-
vised by Mr.. Warmer were put in op-
Grafton
For some time past it has been
rumored that there was a large colony
Of Boer sympathizers in this city, but
until the developments Of the past few
days no one dreamed that the most
reckless in their ranks had even thought
of such a deed as the destruction of an
immense steamship and more than 100
lives. Tt Is understood that restrictions
will be used and precautions taken to
safeguard all future transports. The
British government is at present load
ing about one vessel a week for South
ing through the gateway. Mr.. Warmer
has authorized a statement to the effect
that he had been fully warned as to the
plots of the conspirators and had taken
his hands. The police are working hard
to locate the conspiratOrs, and it is re-
ported tonight that two OF the ringlead-
ers have left the city.

NO LIMIT ON KISSES.
Different Husbands and Wives Ex-
changed These Greetings.

Tndianapolis. ian. THE taking of
testimony in the Ungericht divorce case
closed today, and time was given for ar
gu1nent, but the court remarked before
adjournment: Pure cussedness, plain
and simple is just all there is in this
case" John Ungeric11t is suing Mary
for divorce, and the case has attracted
much attention because 1t involves the
question whether or not q. wife has a
right to kiss whom she pleases without
regard to her husbands wishes
Mrs. Ungericht today testified at
length to the meetings of "our set, dur
ing which meetings members kissed
each others husbands and wives IN a
purely platonic way.
MY husband kissed other women"
said Mrs. Ungericht, ''and I said moth
ing. I thought it nothing to kiss other
Qomen's husbands, and did So"
Judge Allen, who was presiding, in
terrupted, asking: do you mean to
tell the court that you people met on
certain evenings and began Immediately
to kiss each other, regardless Of sex, as
a part of the evenings entertainment? p

years.
During the plaintiffs presentation of
his case he had complained of his wife's
apparent liking for John S. Crosby, AMI
he referred to a stroll of the two in Mil

kissing him In answer to direct ques-
tionings from the court Mrs. Ungericht
was unable to remember If Mr.. CrOSby's
arm was around her waist, nor did she
recall how many times he had kissed
her. Indeed, she said she could not re-

out her testimony Mrs. Duger1cht SEEM

which time the kissing question will be

HARMSWORTH's $500.
Prize Letter Of Comment Expresses
Some Dissatisfaction.

New York, Jan. 7.-When Alfred
Harmsworth, the young proprietor Of
the London Mail and other publications.
had shown Americans what his idea OF
twentieth century Journalism is, by
publishing q NewY York paper for oneday
in tabloid form, he ingenuously made a
public request for criticism and COM
ment, and offered $500 to the writer of
that unopened letter which he should
first draw out from the mass of CORE
spondence occasioned by his offer The
drawing of this lottery was set for to-
day. Representatives of the various
newspapers were Invited.
The pile Of letters was vigorously

tearing open the envelope.

paper in its tabloid form does not seem
to have much in it"
The reader stopped for a few minutes
An embarrassed silence fell on the
group. The editor read over the letter
to himself, then continued aloud: But
perhaps it's all there. I like the form
very much, but, then, don't care for
such heads. 1ong-Winded stories, etc.

want" said Mr.. Harmsworth to the
newspaper men, placing the letter in his
desk and politely declining to finish it
aloud.

the Tract building, where the drawing
took place. He was sent for. and fairly
gasped when Mr.. Harmsworth handed
him twenty crisp So notes.
