On the outside Of the stockade was an
armed guard and the convicts were met
at the opening by C. e. Burrows, a
guard who fought them back, but who
received two shots in the neck. The
convicts then rushed over to the south
wall to another opening and were met
by Arthur Treelford, an armed guard,

MAN WITH REVOLVER
OWNED THE SALOON

william Wooster, claiming his home
as New York, discharged two cham
bers of a 32-ealibre revolver In Quinn
saloon, Church and Mechanic Streets,
last night about 10 o'clock.
An instant after the shots were fired,
Wooster had the saloon to himself, as
every one ducked for cover. Sergt.
Walter N Drohan, with Officer John
O'Connor, appeared on the scene
shortly after and Wooster was placed
under arrest At Station l he was
booked for drunkenness and for car
rying a dangerous weapon. -Four of
his friends, Thomas Wilson, Michael
Driscoll, william Lawler and man
who refused to give his name, were
also locked up for drunkenness.
Wooster with his friends entered the
saloon shortly after 9 o'clock and pro-
ceeded to get into an argument with
any person who would talk to HIM
Wooster got excited with one indiVid-
Ual who was burying his sorrow be-
meath several tall beers, and, being I'M
able to convince his man he was
wrong, Wooster pulled the revolver.
He raised it above his head, but his
intended victim disappeared and, as
far as the police can learn, has not
been seen since.
Wooster then adjourned to a Sc
cluded corner of the saloon and dis
charged the revolver. He was mon
arch of all in sight when Sergt Dro-
han arrived. The sergeant, after
vigorously grasping Wooster about the
neck for a few minutes, satisfied the
owner Of the revolver that 1t would be
a good idea to declare peace.
The fifth member of the party, who
refused to give his name, also refused
at Station / to say anything other
than "18." His name was IS, his age
IS. his weight IS, his height is and
he lived on IS. Lieut. Johnson ordered
him put in cell IS and told him as he
marched away to his place for the
night that chances for his getting IL
days were very good.
All of the gang seemed to be above
the average intelligence and their
characters will be inquired into by the
police this morning before they are
allowed their liberty.

MANY FESTIVITIES
IN HONOR OF DELEGAT ES

Mexico City Nov. 1.-THE ar6ltratlon
committee of the Pan-American congress
held a session this afternoon.
1t was decided to adjourn until the lStn
instant. to allow time for an exchange OF
views among the delegates about the
Mexican project for the arbitration treaty
Tomorrow session of the conference VIII
be unimportant. 1t probably VIII pc ae-
cided to send a eablegram OF tencltatioh
to Santos-Dumont, the Brazilian aeronaut'
and also to return thanks to the Cnam-
Der of Deputies of Spain for It's message
of good will to the congress, ELECTED by
the toast to Spain by Gen. Rafael Reyes
of Colombia at a recent banquet.
DR.. w. P Wilson, commissioner from
fthe United States, left for Philadeiphia
last evening for flying visit.
JOAQUIN D. Cassassius, secretary general
of the conference, today gave an elaoor.
ate banquet in honor of the secretaries OF
the delegations. The private socia! ar
rangements for the entertainment OF the
delegates are innumerable. BY the cour-
tesy of the American delegation, boxes at
the theatres are placed free every night
al the disposal of the visitors. The ex-
ercises held last night in honor OF Ameri-
can poets were well attended Transla-
lions of Whittier's poems were read. The
limited States delegation Is non-committal
about the Mexican project for the arbi-
tration treaty. They say it is merely an
Individual project, and that others are TO
follow. The chief thing, they say, is to do
nothing in haste. The conference, 1t is
thought, must last at least three months.

weak knee. Force, the 2O0-pound guard OF
the second eleven. who made touchdown
against the varsity yesterday, has been
taken on the first eleven, and went with

spirited play. The practice was entirely

800 undergraduates gathered to cheer
them of. led by Barrett Wendell. Jr.,

fident that Harvard would win the Penn
