Washington, Nov. 1.-Moses Dillon was

A CAST OF SANDOW.
Strong Man Undergoes Trying Ordeal
For Artists Sake.

London, Nov 11.-Eugene Sandow, the
strong man, has just undergone a re-
markable test of endurance. He has
had a cast taken of his whole body,
the work being done piecemeal, with
his body under full muscular strain.
The cast is taken for the South Ken
sington School of Art and also for
British museum authorities.
The mold was considerably larger
than each of the limbs it covered and
was made of wood. This was placed
around each member with an inch or
two of space intervening, and that
space was then filled with liquid
plaster. The limb was kept at full mus
cular tension until the plaster hardened,
which it did in about 10 minutes.
When all the parts of Shadows body
had been treated in this way the sec
lions were fitted together to make one
mold of his entire form. 1t was neces-
sary to keep up the muscular strain not
only in the part where a mold was be-
ing taken at the time, but throughout
the whole body while the plaster was
hardening. Otherwise the symmetry or
the cast would have been seriously
affected by the ordeal.

ANOTHER FALSE SCENT.
Negro Released by Police Appre-
hended as q Convict

A negro was arrested for vagrancy
Saturday night He appeared before
the police court this morning wearing
the name of Isora Green. The court
gave him 80 minutes to separate himself
from the town, and he was making
good use of the gift when the police
who We're sent out in the eastern part
of town to investigate rumors of eS-
capped convicts, saw him rapidly drift
ing eastward before a stiff breeze.
The negro saw them about the same
time and shook out few reefs, think
ing no doubt, that the 80 minutes was
up and they were coming to take him.
He ran almost into the arms of one of
the federal guards, who halted him I'M
til the police came up, when they all
talked like they thought he was one of
the convicts Mr.. Green was so scared
he was almost blue, and when he was
given fresh start, he moved eastward
at a gait calculated to land him in
Missouri by supper time.

Benham and Ramsay, composing the
Schley court of inquiry met at their

German Plans to Secure Democratic
Nomination For President

Baltimore, Nov. 11.-Friends of for
mer Senator German say he is plan
ming for the presidential nomination
Since the election Mr.. German has been
comforting with his political friends,
one of whom said today:
"Mr. German is satisfied with the turn
of affairs He wanted vindication. He
got it, I doubt very much if he cares
to go to the senate again. He has led
a strenuous public life and has been
the target of men and measures for
years. He aspires to the presidency
and his ambitions have no limit save
in the White House. Should he be re-
elected he will probably serve until the
time for the presidential campaign and
then resign and go into the battle to
win
Asked about the talk of Democratic
opposition to Germans election to the
senate Democratic Chairman Vandiver
said: German will be the next United
States senator from Maryland. He will
be the only candidate before the Demo-
cratic caucus"
