Mcmahon RCcaptured aud Sentenced.

Tlomas Mcmahon, of Oil City, who
was recaptured in Cleveland few days
ago after his escape from the Warren Jail.
was placed on trial in the Warren court
on Sa urday last, charged with robbing
Hugh Miles, of Fagundus, receiving
stolen goods and horse stealing. On the
advice OF his attorney, Hon, o. c. Allen,
the prisoner pleaded guilty to all counts.
Mr.. Allen asked for the clemency of the
court, pleading that although the prison.
er had at one time served a term in the
penitentiary, he had returned home after
serving out his sentence and had worked
steadily and II was only recently that he
had relapsed into his bad habits. Nc
Mahon's plea undoubtedly saved Warren
county considerable expense, u consid-
Grafton that the court made in imposing
the following sentence: For the charge
of robbery a fine of $500 and costs and
Imprisonment of seven years in the West
ern penitentiary: the sentence for Jail.
breaking was a fine of 800 aud costs and
two years aud nine months in the West
ern peniteutiary. For good behavior Nc
Mahon may earn two years, bringing the
Imprisonment down to six years.
Police Officer Charles Bromley, of Oil
Ciy, says the Derrick, was one of the wit
nesses called to Warren, but did not tes-
tify. McMahon confided to him that he
had no help in escaping from the Warren
county Jail. The other two men got out
first through hole in the grating that
was only 0 by Is inches, but when Nc
Mahon tried to get through with part OF
his clothing on ne stuck fast and was in
this condition for nearly half-hour. He
finally worked his way back into prison
and stripped himself naked and finally
got through the hole at considerable
loss of skin and some flesh from his
breast, abdoman and back. From War.
ren he walked through the woods tc
Franklin, where he arrived late at night
and secured an oyercoat. From there he
went to Pittsburg, Leayittsburg, o., and
finally to Cleveland. Mcmahon stated
further that Turner, who escaped from
Jail when he did, was with him in all o
these towns, bur that Turner stole al
overcoat and Mcmahon quit him ther
and there.
| Turner was arrested later and is serv
ing a term in the workhouse at Cleve
land, and will be arrested by the Warrer
county authorities as soon as he is re
leased.

GENERAL BELL SUES
"L|BERTAS" FOR LIBEL
Catholic Newspaper the Organ of the Frars Charged Hin
With Misappropriaton OF Funds.

MANILA, Oct. 30.-General James Bell.
through the city government, has
brought an action for libel against the
newspaper "Libertas.' which accused
him of stealing profits from the sale of
rice and food stuffs in Batangas and
Mindoro during the recommendation
period, intending to enjoy the money In
America. The paper added that when
General Bells action was discovered by
the civil government he was forced to
disgorge.
A sum amounting to $66,0OO, the result
OF General Bells careful administration,
was transferred to the credit of the pro-
vinces which he governed during the re-
concentration period, and this money
was appropriated few days ago for the
relief of the poor.
Universal indignation has been caused
by the charge against General Bell, who,
it is assured. is the last man who would
injure the Filipinos. General Davis, the
military commander of this department,
forwarded the article to Governor Taft
The "Libertas'' is pronounced anti
American and friars' organ. 1t is pub
lished under the heading of "Benedecido
Leo Kill" 1t has frequently attacked
the Philippine Commission.

Secretary Edwards Reports Prospects
Flattering to Party, But
Gives No Figures.

The Democratic Congress committee,
1t was said last evening, will give out
no estimate as to the number of mem
bers OF the next House that party will
elect. Secretary Edwards says he has
received reports from nearly every Dem
ocratic State chairman In the country,
giving detailed statement of the sit
uatlon in his respective State, and the
reports are more than satisfactory. He
says the Democrats will control the next
House by safe working majority.
For the past few days clerks at Dem
ocratic headquarters have been sending
out letters to Democratic voters in
doubtful districts urging upon. them the

Shortage Said to Be S4,5oo,

Cornelius T. Griflths, or, as he is
better known. c. Thomas Griffiths. was
arrested last evening by Detectives
Horn and Hartigan on the charge of
embezzlement, made by Joseph Bowes,
the manager for Maryland and the
District Of Columbia of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, Of New York
city. Mr. Griffiths is accused by Mr..
Bowes of having embezzled $4,000 from
the insurance company. Until three
weeks ago Mr.. Griffiths was cashier of

it is expected there will be no prose-
cuticn of the case and that the alleged
shortage of Mr.. Griffiths will be settled
out of court. In fact. it is believed his
bond will more than cover any amount
he may be in debt to the compa1F.
Last evening Mr.. Grifiiths' friends
were strong in their protestations that
even though the prisoner may be short
in his accounts, he did not actually
embezzle the amount specified by Mr..
Bowes. They make the assertion that Mr..
Griffiths advanced money imprudently
to certain agents Of the company, and
that while, technically, he violated the
law, he was r-ompted by motives of

The Democratic Coal Plank.
The coal plank of the Democratic
party, he asserted, was clearly unconsti-
tutional. The proposition involved not
merely the destruction of our political
system, but of Our social system as well.
While the assertion of the power mega
tives the right of States to local self
government, Its exercise would be rank
and extreme Socialism.
Under It a paternal government con-
trolling the business of the country, with
its army of office holders and it's millions
of employees. would take the place of the
individual enterprise, freedom of con-
tract and open competition. which have
made America great and prosperous"
In conclusion, the Secretary attacked
the Democratic party as being without
principles, and destructive.
Long ago." he said, before the war
for the Union, there was Democratic
party with capacity to govern. It exists
no longer. motley crew of touters,
who by hook or crook usurped his name,
and the appropriate expression of their
political character is to be found in TIE

The local Equitable Offices are now
in charge of Virgil F. Bourne. young
man who came here three weeks ago
from Baltimore to succeed Mr.. Griff1ths
1t is supposed the latter's alleged short
age was discovered at that time. Mr..
Bourne said last evening that he knew
nothing of the case against Mr.. Grit

the office with him for three weeks
turning over his accounts and checking

AMBASSADOR OBJECTS
TO COUSINS MONUMENT
A. j. White Dislikes Design
of Gail Sherman.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. 3O.-Ambassa-
dor Andrew ]. White has sent another
letter to George f. Comfort, director OF
the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts, criti-
cising the design OF Gail Sherman for
the memorial to the late Hamilton S.
White.
Some time ago Dr. White wrote that
he was not satisfied with the memorial
and unless he was convinced that the
work was being properly and rapidly
done he would alter a provision of his
Will SO that Syracuse would not receive
his art collection after his death.
The committee in charge of the work
met and gave Miss Sherman vote OF
confidence.
Ambassador White writes that the fact
that Hamilton S. White was his cousin,
makes no difference. He says the sculp-
tor has taken an unreasonably long
time for her work and he understands
the widow of the citizen fire chief
White has been denied admittance to
the studio where the memorial Is being
executed.
Ambassador White condemns the pro-
posed white marble pedestal and criti-
cises at length the other details Of the
work. The statement that the sculptor
has worked least eight hours q day
since the contract was awarded he says,
and has not yet completed the clay
model, Sounds like comic opera"
The committee proposes to continue the
work, as it is too late to select another
sculptor and begin again. The money for
the memorial was raised by small con-
tributions from the public.

GEN, DUDLEY FAVORS
JEFFERSON CHANDLER
Recommends Missouri Man
for District Judge.

Cen w. W. Dudley, the noted Indiana
saw the President at the temporary
White House yesterday. He recon-
mended Jefferson Chandler for one of
the vacant judgeships in the District.
Mr.. Chandler is a Missouri man, who has
practiced extensively in the local courts.
Regarding political conditions this
fall, General Dudley was extremely optf-
mistic
Il have never known a campaign where
the outlook in general seemed brighter,
he said. There seems to be storm
center over Ohio, but everywhere else
the Republican chances could hardly be
improved upon. Local conditions have
much to do with the Ohio situation, and
the outcome there cannot be judged ac-
curately unless one is thoroughly posted
on these details. know Indiana is all
right, and Illinois, too, l believe, al
though have not been there lately.
There does not seem to be the least
doubt that the Republicans will retain
control of the House by good majority
Indications point that way too conclu-
sively to anticipate any great breaking
away from party standerds. President
Roosevelt's administration is generally
approved. and the party's ascendancy
will continue"
Regarding the lilly white" movement
| General Dudley said it was a matter
| which could not be accurately under
stood except by those in the States af-
fected mo Northern man can tell what
he would do in the South under the con-
ditions which exist there. Consequently
| there is no way of judging from this
point of view what we would or would
not do II we lived there"
