Paris, June 22.-Agoncillo, the Euro
pean representative of Aguinaldo, has
given up his apartments here and left
a week ago for Marseilles. It is said he
is returning to his own country Agon-
clio has been imperative in Paris for a
month past. He was seen recently and
admitted that he now received little
news from the Philippines. He had
asked his principals to be allowed to
return to Hong Kong on private bust
ness. He evidently regarded his pres
ence in Europe as useless. He lived
very quietly here and seldom left his
apartments.

NUDGE WON'T INTERFERE.
Engineer Murry, of Ration, Pleads IN
Vain For Reinstatement.

Con hurry, a Santa F'e engineer, who
lives at Ration, n. NJ, is in Topeka to
plead with the Santa Fe officials to re-
1nstate him in the service of the COM
pany, from which he was recently dis
charged. Mr.. hurry is assisted in his
plea by H B. Kelly. another Ration en-
gineer.
The two engineers appeared before
IA. u. Nudge today and stated their
case. According to what Mr.. Nudge
said afterwards there seems to be lit
tie hope for favorable action on MI
1durry's case
Mr. hurry was relieved from his
position by the division superintendent
Tor good and sufficient reasons said
AIR. Nudge. His appeal for reinstate-
ment is not made through the regular
channels as an effort is being made
to make a special case of it. The fact
that Mr. hurry was relieved for good
reasons is not denied; the fact that he
owns a home in Ration is made the
basis for the request for reinstatement
i do not feel that it is my place to over
rule the action of the division super
fntencent in such a case"

From my own impressions, as well
as from the views expressed by promi-

manner in which my sons conviction
was obtained carried great weight with
the judges of the court"

ping the procession and interrupting
the wild gushes of hilarity, when both
officers assaulted him with clubs and
shooters, calling him unpleasant
names which Jared his tender sensi-
bilities. Meanwhile after he had implored
them to desist with tears in his voice,
they decided that their thirst for gore
was satisfied and hauled him down to
the station, hammered up like a board
ing house steak. During the trial At
torney Hagan brought out the fact that
the officers did use some unofficial lang
uage during their conversation with
Klein Mr.. Hagan also suggested that
because the tally-ho party were roaring
and blowing horns they were not enti-
tied to a hold-up by the officers. He
nkened the jewellers to a party of school
girls who used the same coach earlier
in the evening, but the school girls did
not have q supply of beer. Owing to
the aggressiveness of the officers and
the bad language used, Judge Lindsay
only fined Klein SIS, but that was no
balm for Klein's bruised face so he ap-
pealed the case.
''Bud" Higgins was fined SIS for
fighting and resisting the officers who
arrested him. Higgins was mixed in
a little tilt with employees of the Sells
& Gray circus who attempted to eject
him from the tent. He says the circus
men were armed with knives and re-
volvers and that they should have been
arrested also. Attorney Reed for the
defense will appeal the case simply be-
cause it is the style.

tanning four quart bottles of tanglefoot,
about a dozen glasses were captured by
the police who sOrrowfully brought
them to the police station. Two noble

they awakened they were very much
