FITCHETTE GUILTY.
Minneapolis Police Captain Con.
victed Of Ira iii king in Positions.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July l2.-Po-
lice Captain John Fitchette. formerly
known as Coffee John, was convict
ed OF trafiicking in positions on the po-
lice force. The specific charge was that
he accepted 5000 from John Long Tor
procuring the appointment of the latter
as policeman. While the offense is
only misdemeanor and does not in
volve Il penitentiary sentence. the con-
viction is regarded as of great impor-
lance in the current municipal corrup-
ton expose, because OF the implication
of other officials. The prosecuting at
torney points out that that il would
have been impossible for Captain Fitch
cite to have sold appointments to the
police force unless he was i'll collision
with others.
The appointment of Long was made
last August, under the administration
of Mayor Ames. He had been dropped
from the pay rolls when Ames assumed
Office six months ago. Testimony
showed that David johnson, acting as
Longs attorney, paid 5000 to Fitchette,
and when he called At the captain s res
taurant the next day TO be informed OF

vATICAN'S REPLY
The Pope Cannot Accept Propo
sition to Recall Friars With.
in a Certain Period.

Washington. July ia cablegram
has been received at the war depart
msnt from Governor Taft, transmitting
the reply OF tie vatican to the pro-
posals OF the United States government.
The contract which the vatican pro.
poses shall be signed by both parties
comprises ~ articles.
The answer of the vatican is com.
piled in the order of Judge Taft's note
of July 90. First comes the note,
which says that all the studies OF the
vatican were centered 20 render more
clear, more precise and definite, the
conditions between the Holy See and
the Philippine government. In fact,
the note begs, if something further
with this intention be proposed, that il
be freely expressed, adding that it
would be considered with great pleas.
ure. The introduction proceeds in this
tone until it comes to the question OF
the recall Of the friars. 1t then says
the vatican cannot accept the PROPOSE
tion to recall the friars within the fixed
period; such recall not. being justified
by reasons of force majeure, il would
be contrary to the rights guaranteed by
the treaty of Paris, and would put the
Holy See in conflict viii Spain. 1t
asks:
''If the United States government
cannot order the withdrawal OF the
friars, how can the pope do so. especial.
ly when it has been proved that all the
accusations made against them were
partly false, partly exaggerated and
partly inexact?'
However, the vatican promises that
it will try to introduce into the Philip
pines clergy of other nationalities, es-
pecially Americans, gradually. as they
are found ready or are adapted to the
purpose.
The note agrees that the friars shall
not return to the parishes they left. and
where their presence could provoke
trouble.
The note ends by saying the pope is
willing that the school question in the
Philippines be not insisted on now, but
that his holiness hopes his representa-
tive in Manila may have an understand
ing with Judge Taft on this point,
which is OF importance in country al
most exclusively Catholic.

TRAIL OF TRACY.
LATEST OF THE MAN HUNT NOW
IN PROGRESS.
Clue After Clue Run Down But the
Desperate IL Still at Large.
Dogs. Deputies and Volunteers
Outwitted Time and Again by
the Fleeing Convict.

Seattle, July 12.-Each morning
brings crop of hopeful Iumors from
the chase after Harry Tracy, and each
evening brings the same old story of
evasion by the convict desperate.
Bloodhounds. deputies and volunteers
are led hither and thither by this
phantom desperate, and battied and
chagrined, can only fret and fume at
the fruitlessness of their efforts.
Yesterday Tracy was driven into the
Ginter swamp southeast of Black Dia-
mond. and the chase ended for the day.
Previous to this Tracy encountered three
deputies on the railroad near Covington
and was shot at eight times at close
range with buckshot charges. Tracy
fired twice, but no one was injured and
Tracy again escaped to the brush.
Seattle, July ll.-The most i'm.
portant move made by Harry Tracy
since his escape was the holding mp OF
the +. NJ. johnson family, two miles
south OF Kent, and compelling johnson
to go to Tacoma and procure a Colts As
With plenty of cartridges. 1t is believ-
ed that Tracy's object in getting the re-
volver is that he may enter city and
ply his perilous trade Of robbery with
out attracting the attention he would
with rife. He would thus be enabled
to secure enough money to quietly slip
out of the state without leaving trail
blazoned with murder and robbery.
Seattle, July .lO.-Wild and unsub-
stantial rumors of the ubiquitous
Tracy's whereabouts were run to earth,
and proved as usual heretofore, to he
valueless. Since leaving the Gerrells'
home Tracy has not been definitely To-
Gated, though the usual number of men
have been on the lookout for him.
Seattle. July 9.-Yesterday Harry
Tracy was surrounded at the home OF a
man named Gerrills, a short distance
from Renton. Tracy sat on a bench, 81
yards from the nearest of his pursuers,
and chatted with three women OF the
house. The posse was soon reinforced
and Tracy became aware Of their pres
ence.
With scornful Indifference the outlaw
calmly walked away, not shot being
fired at him, and no effort being made
to take him. The pursuit, if such it
could be called, was resumed as soon as
Tracy had safely disappeared into the
brush, bloodhounds being utilized, but
to no purpose in the end.

BIDS TOO Low.
Fifty.One Thousand Dollars offered
for Transport Grant.

San Francisco, July 12.-Maj. Devol,
general superintendent of the army
transport service, has opened bids for
the purchase of the Grant. He states
that all the offers were much below the
value of the steamship and that it is
likely that the war department will re-
fuse to dispose of her at present. The
highest bid was $5l 900.
The government paid $3.50 900 for the
transport. She has been in the service
since 1898. A considerable amount of
money has been paid out in repairs, and
now full set of new boilers is needed
1t was considered that it would be more
economical to sell her than to make
such extensive repairs.

STRIKE CONTINUED
Chicago Freight Handlers Refuse
to Accept Terms Offered
by the Roads.

Chicago, July IL. - The striking
freight handlers voted to refuse the
terms presented by the railroads and
to continue the strike despite official
refusal OF the Chicago Federation OF
Labor to help them.
President Curran, of the Freight
Handlers Union, advocated accepting
the terms offered by the railroadgs and
returning to work to await an opportu-
nifty to retaliate upon the Transfers
Union and the Chicago Federation OF
Labor. His proposition was lost in the
excitement, and by standing vote the
strikers not only decided to stay out,
but to fight to the last ditch without
seeking cooperation and support.
A crisis came to the freight handlers
strike when the local unions refused to
accept settlement proposed by the
railroads and voted to fight the battle
to the last ditch.
Transfers quit work in sympathy,
and Hugh MCGEE, president of the
Truckmen's Union, gave utterance to
the most serious statements of the day.
1--WE have not given our men author
ity to strike and are declaring against
such action. We are insisting on our
men living up to the contracts we have
made with our employers, but they will
not listen to this, and l believe 4 1000
teamsters will be mixed up in the
struggle before night. We have done
our part and intend to remain true to
our trust, but if the men strike despite
all our efforts to restrain them, we are
powerless and cannot be responsible for
their actions
