minneapolis Detective Narrowly Es
- capes Being MObbed.

Bicycle Inspector Conner, colored, had
narrow escape from being injured by a
mob at Annandale yesterday. It appears,
from the stories told by witnesses, that
Connor attended the picnic in company
with white woman, and one Of the citi-
zeng Of the country village expressed him
self forcibly upon the matter; Connor re-
piled by knocking the man down. The
fight was taken up by a number Of .ti1e
mans friends and had it not been for the
Intervention of Detective Nick Smith and
Captain J. H. Alexander, Connor would
undoubtedly have been handled roughly.

OF the 16,347 teachers in the state,
6,O13 have only a third-grade county

A CROWN PRINCESS MISSING.
She Suddenly Deserted Her Family at Sal Il
burg and Nobody Seems to Know
Where She Is at Present

Dresden, Saxony, Dec. 23.-The
crown princess of Saxony fed from
her home on the night of December
IL. The Dresdener Journal said yes
terday: "The princess, in state of
intense mental excitement, suddenly
deserted her family at Salzburg and
went abroad. The Saxon court func-
tons for the winter, including the
New Years reception, have been can
celed."
The foregoing paragraph in yes
terday's official journal, which was
inserted by order of the king and
crown prince of Saxony, has turned
into truth what for several days
past has been regarded as an incred-
ible tale. The crown princess of
Saxony, surrounded by her ladies-in-
waiting and numerous attendants
and servants, has vanished so utterly
that the police of every kingdom in
Europe have for ten days been I'M
able to trace her. The official an
nouncement was in order to obtain
the aid of the general public in find
ing her, and because the court fiction
that she preferred to remain in re-
tirement at Salzburg rather than to
return to her husband and children
at Dresden cannot longer be main
tanned.

DECISION ON A LIQUOR CASE.
The Federal Court Holds the Express Com
pany Il Only an Agent of the Vendors
In Carrying Liquor e. o. ID.

Keoluk, Ia, Dec. 23.-Judge Nc
Pherson, of the federal court, hand
ed down yesterday an opinion in the
case of the United States versus the
Adams Express company in which
the corporation was indicted for car
rying on the business of retail
liquor dealer without having paid the
special tax as required by law. The
federal court holds that the express
company is only an agent of the
vendors in carrying the liquors and
collecting and returning money. AS
the express company did not sell
liquors, it was not engaged in the
business of liquor dealer. The
court in this opinion has overridden
the decision of the supreme court of
Iowa.

Farmers In Nebraska. Kansas and Okla

ing Arbitrary Weights and Prices.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 23.-Representa-
tives from all the Farmers Co-opera-
tive Grain associations will meet in
Lincoln next month to organize into
a state body. There will probably be
16 such organizations represented.
1t is likely that within another year
at least so of such organizations will
be effected. The grain buyers over
the state, SO it is alleged by the farm
ers, have organized themselves into
state association, which tends to
compel the farmers to accept weights
and prices that do not seem just.
Fhe meeting in the second week of
next month will also consider the
proposition to join the proposed in
terstate merger with Oklahoma and

FOUGHT WITH DEATH
Terrible Experience of Sailors Set
Adrift at Sea.
After DESERVING Two Sinking Ships 3 Men
Battled Many Hours with MerciIess
Waves, Cold and Hunger-Several
Became Insane.

Boston, Dec. 23.-A foreign steam
er, the Manahasett, arrived here at
2:30 Monday morning with ten sur
vivors of the crews of the schooners
Frank A. Palmer and Louis B. Cra-
~, which were in collision off Cape
Ann Wednesday. Six men ON both
vessels went down with the ships and
the balance, Is, took to one boat.
Three went insane and jumped over
board, two died and two went insane
after arriving on shore.
The Louise B. Crary was five
masted and the Frank a. Palmer
four-masted schooner. They were
both coal-laden, bound for Boston.
AT eight a. m. Sunday when the Man.
ahasett was As miles off Highland
light, the lookout sighted small
boat with men who were making sig
nails of distress. The Manahasett
changed her course and bore down
on the craft, which proved to be the
boat which had been launched from
the Crazy. Only ten of the men
aboard were alive and they were al
most helpless as a result of their ex-
posture to the rigorous weather. Sat-
urday night one became crazed by
his sufferings and shouting at the
top of his voice that the police were

disappeared. Four other members of
the little boats company died from
exhaustion and the exposure to which
they had been subjected. All the sur
yiyors were frost bitten and some of
them will probably have to have their
feet and hands amputated.

Lincoln, Neb., Dee. 20.-Marriages
contracted within six months after
one of the parties thereto has been
divorced are invalid in Nebraska, ac-
cording to a decision rendered by the
supreme court of the state. The
statute concerning divorce specifically
prohibits remarriage within a period
of six months, but it has been a com
mon practice for divorced persons, a
short time after the granting of the
decree. to journey to an adjoining
state and there contract a new mar
riage. This practice the court frowns
on and denounces as a direct violation
of the law.

}HE WILL ACCEPT.
Under Great Pressure Roosevelt
Will Act as Arbitrator.
German Emperor First Suggested the
American President Fitting Person
20 Properly Adjust the Agra
waiting Disputes.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The United
States government is awaiting the re-
ception of formal answers from the
allied governments to the presidents
last suggestion that the Venezuelan
dispute be referred to The Hague.
So far these responses have not come
to hand, but it is pretty well under
stood that they will hold for the ar
bitration of President Roosevelt him
self. Signs point to the presidents
ultimate acceptance of the trust,
though nothing positive is yet known
on this point The state department
has learned that President Castro
would welcome the selection of Pres
ident Roosevelt as arbitrator and as
all the parties interested are united,
the pressure will be hard to resist.
Emperor william Suggested Roosevelt.
Berlin, Dec. 23-The blockade Of
the Venezuelan coast ill continue
until definite arrangement for ar
filtration has been reached. Germany
will be satisfied if President Roose-
welt undertakes the task. His ac-
ceptance would be considered suf-
fcient guarantee that Venezuela
would pay if she lost. Asking Presi-
dent Roosevelt to arbitrate was the
emperor's suggestion. An indirect
inquiry three or four days ago not
eliciting refusal from the president,
u request has now been made in direct
form. Although Germany is ready
to submit her case to any impartial
tribunal, she would prefer President
Roosevelt for the reason that Presi-
dent Castro is more likely to accept
the decision of the president of the
United States than that of The Hague
tribunal. If President Castro evades
payment under President Roosevelt's
award, the people of the United
States, it is claimed here, would with
positive pleasure see the allies COM
pei him to pay up.

ROOSEVELT WANTED.
Proposal Made by Allied Powers in
the Venezuelan Difficulty.
rhe strictese Secrecy Being Maintained.
but Indications Point to President
Roossvelt's Acceptance of tho once
of Arbitrator.

London, Dec. 22.-It is believed
that President Roosevelt's answer to
the proposal made by the allied pow
.rs that he arbitrate the Venezuelan
issues has been received in London.
The strictest secrecy with regard to
every phase of the negotiations is
preserved, however, and it is impossi-
BILE to make definite statement, but
such Indications as are obtainable
point to President Roosevelt's &C
:eptance of the Office of arbitrator.
A constant interchange of cable
grams is proceeding night and day
between the United States embassy
here and the state department at
Washington. 1t is believed that the
presidents answer will be submit
ted formally to the foreign Office to-
lay. By Wednesday, unless some un-
expected complications arise, it is be-
lieved the negotiations will reach a
stage assuring a definite arrange
ment and obviating hostilities.
It must be said that the accept
ance of the Office of arbitrator by
President Roosevelt would greatly
surprise the foreign Office, which al
ways has been doubtful of the issue
of the arbitration negotiations on
account of the belief that President
Roosevelt, or the United States, was
not willing to undertake the respon-
sibility thereby involved.
Judging from private American adj
vices which have been received in
London President Roosevelt, as arbi-
traitor, would be favorably disposed
toward the temporary adoption of
some such method as was arranged
with the Venezuelan secret mission
and communicated to the state de-
partment by Isaac Seigman. With
President Roosevelt acting as arbi-
traitor the serious objections in the
matter of guarantees, which fire.
quently have been mentioned at the
foreign office and in these dispatches,
would disappear. The foreign Office
has repeatedly said that the great
difficulty in it's seeing a way to agree
to a pacific settlement of the Ven
ezuelan trouble was it's inability to
ascertain to what extent the United
States was willing to assume respon-
sibility.
