last tuesday evening, when Miss Mary

nome OF her brother-in-law, Chapman
hyatt. and the negro hired man, Bessie
FRANCIS, the supposed murderer, missing
mas not been successful. After frutless
peatlng OF the bush, ranSacSing of negro
caplns and search of coal mines the hun
dreds Of volunteers yesterday were ready
to give up, and even the blodnounds re-
fused to follow new trails Last night
however, fresh interest was aroused by
the discovery of negro skulking in the
woods near Strausburg. A party of men
set out in pursuit, but the negro van
ished mysteriously.
Tonight all the towns along the Missou-
ri Pacific were intensely excited bv a re-
port that Francis had been captured near
Pleasant Hill; that the law officers were
bent on taking him to Warrensburg jail
but that the hunters would carry him
to the Hyatt farm and hang or burn
him there. A negro answering the de-
Scnptlon of Francis was pursued tonight
by posse in the neighborhod of the
Rising Star school house, between Pleas
ant Hill and Strausburg. So sure were
the hunters of getting their man that
one went to Pleasant Hill with infor-
nation that the negro was in sight, flee
minutes. From this grew the rumor
that Francis was actually prisonef
Later 1t was learned that the fugitive
escaped. Rain is falling, the night Is
dark, and the chase is at a standstiu

LION AND The BEAR
OVER COMMERCIAL SUPREM-
ACY IN PERSIA
BARRIER TO BRITISH TRADE
Russian Loan to the Shah Gives the
Cars Agents Power to Para
Iyze Indian Commerce
With Persia.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-Russian agents IN
Persia are interfering with the Quetta-
Nuska trade route between India and
Eastern Persia, opened by the Indian
government. According to a Times dis
patch from Simla, Russia, by virtue of a
loan executed in 1900, has virtual control
of the routes and Is giving endless worry
and trouble OF traders by means of GUS
toms regulations and particularly quar-
antine restrictions. It Is possible for
Russia to paralyze British trade by clos
ing the routes the caravans traverse.
The native belief that Russian influence
is supreme in Eastern Persia is having a
bad effect.
Commissioner Of Education Hasset,
writing on the general subject of Rus
sian and English relations says:
GIVE WAY OR FIGHT.
"We must strive for settlement with
Russia or grid ourselves for fight" and
the Times editorially says that Great
Britain must determine whether it is
compatible with our interests political
and commercial to allow foreign power
like Russia to establish itself on the
Persian gulf. Possibly 1t may be expedi-
ent to purchase political peace by sur
rendering a controlling interest, which
might cost too much to defend. But if we
are resolved to defend them we must not
wait until it is too late to save our in
tereSts and take action

VERY LATEST IN TRUST
MAKERS OF LAUNDRY MACHINERY Y
FORM A COMBINE.

PITTSBURG, Aug. S1.-A syndicate
composed mostly of Pittsburgers, headed
by Mr.. Charles A. Painter, of this city,
has just succeeded in effecting a COM
bination OF 96 per cent of the laundry
machinery manufacturing plants of the
United States. Mr.. Thomas A. Selz, late
president of the National Laundrymen's
association, who secured options for the
syndicate, says 9S per cent will be Sc
cured within a short time.
1t is the purpose of the promoters of the
combination to organize under the laws
of New Jersey. The title Of the COM
pany will be the American Laundry Ma
chinery Manufacturing company, and it
will have a total capitalization Of S16,500,-
OOG-$S, 100000 per cent preferred (cumu-
lative) and $500. 600 common. Subscrib-
ers for preferred stock will receive an
equal number of shares OF common.
The financing of the company is as
sLred. All of the properties have been
purchased on a percentage earning basis,
and no compensation for the valuable
patents and good will, thus covering the
product and eliminating competition.
