TAYLOR ESCAPES
Breaks OUT OF TIE CITY CAL-
A5OCSE
Necessary for TIE Officers to Have
tiz1 in the Brass PTese-
cutters.

The most interesting development
in the brass theft affair recorded To-
day is the escape of Will Taylor from
the calaboose. and the officials now
have knotty problem confronting
them All of their hopes Of convig
ton of the krumpners was based on
TaylOr's testimony, and unless he is
captured the prosecution is materially
weakened.
Taylor effected his escape this
morning about II: 80 O'Clock in a way
which must at least indicate ingenu!-
t. in the boy. He and the two other
inmates of the calaboose had beer
released from cells and were allowed
the freedom of the corridor. Taylor
secured a knife or some kind of an
instrument and cut into the brick and
mortar near the lock. Then witi1
some kind of an instrument the loek
was prled back until the spring was
broken. The only thing to do then
was to open the door and get awa~
without being seen. which was also
accomplished without difficulty
n lS" utSo dllSl dN lOl lldQ 0S-
caped Officer John Walters enterel
the front door of the police satioE,
here he met another inmate Of the
calabOose. a negro. Lee Arnold. who
Is being held on suspicion of murder
He was evidently preparing to make
run for liberty, but tried to square
himself by telling the officer that
Taylor had just escaped.
A white man Of the name of Car
roll was in the calaboose at the time.
but made no effort to escape
The police department is making
desperate efforts to capture Taylor
this afternoon. and hope to have him
in the tolls again soon. as great deal
depends on his testimony in the pros
ecution Of the krumpners

Columbia, Tenn, April 2.-The trials
and experiences Of Maury county peo-
pie who were caught out from home by
the recent foods form an interesting
chapaer. Judge Sam Holding of Co.
lumbia probably had a more difficult
time getting home than any citizen OF
this place. He was holding circuit
court at Savannah when the storm
came. He travelled four days and three
nights, passed through four states and
crossed Tennessee twice before he could
reach Columbia. Judge Holding left
Savannah on the City of Memphis for
Riverton, up the Tennessee river, and
went from there to Riverton junction,
on the Southern railroad, only to find
that traffic was at q standstill. He
walked up the railroad a mile to small
station and telephoned to Cherokee for
conveyance, He waited by the road
side till dark for the vehicle, but an
accident prevented its arrival and the
night was spent in farm house. A
team was secured next morning to Tus-
cumbia, only to find travel blocked on
the N, f. & s. Taking train to De-
catur, he went ON an L. & N. special to
Corinth, Miss, Jackson, Tenn, Hum
boldt, then to Guthrie, KY, then to
Nashville, and arrived home last night.

Congressman Richardson, of Tennes-
see, the leader of the democratic party
in congress, has produced genuine
sensation throughout the country by
the revelations Of corruption made in
the sale OF the Danish West Indies by
Denmark to the United States. The
fact that this man Christmas came over
here and enlisted Abner Mckinley and
G. P. Knox in his scheme, shows that
he knew where to strike. Abner Nc
Kinley is a brother Of the late presi-
dent, and Knox is tool of Mark Han
mas. This put Christmas pretty close
TO the site Of power, and he doubtless
worked the combination for all it was
worth. Looking at results, he was
successful. He doubtless placed a
block of the 100000 where it would do
the most good.
Those who have read the proceedings
of congress of Thursday undoubtedly
noted that much solicitation was mani
Tested by the republicans as to where
Mr.. Richardson got his information.
Had these surprised statesmen kept up
with the progress Of events at Copenha'
gen they would not have asked the
question. AdvIces from that city fol-
several weeks disclose renewed activity
on the part of the opponents of this
treaty, by which it is proposed to sell
the Danish West Indies to this country.
The opponents have applied to Queer
Alexandra and the Dowager Empress
of Russia, both daughters of the king
of Denmark, for assistance in prevent
ing the sale. The way to head off thu
negotiations is to defeat the ratification
of the treaty by the Danish Landsthing
which is part Of the treaty making
power. Through Queen Alexandra thu
opponents Of the treaty in Denmark
doubtless gained access to state papers
found the Christmas report, copied i
and sent it to the United States. Moth
: ing could be easier than this.
1t has been a mystery all along +
well-informed people as to why tn
United States should desire to purchas
; the Danish West Indies at an agree,
, price Of about Ave millions. We d
T not specially need the islands, and un
less we need them badly in our bust
ness, they would be dear at any price
We are already masters of the highwa
1 from Europe to South and Centrs
o America, and our supremacy in the Ca
] ribbean sea is undisputed. Denmar
a doubtless saw good opportunity
unload white elephant on us, and wit
the aid OF Christmas proceeded to
;. SO while we are in the island business
We have in the bargain and sale an oil
ject lesson Of what money will accomI
lish with receptive administration
The paramount question now is, VIII
got the money? Mr.. Richardson wi
answer this question before the chapte
is closed. He is that sort of a man.

Cubans and the Rathbone Case.

The Havana, Cuba, Sun, newspaper
published by Americans, calls the ver-
dict in the Rathbone, Nicely and Reeves
cases "a bolt from clear sky" The
Sun declares that not q scintilla Of con-
victing proof was elected to show that
Rathbone and Neeley had been crimi-
nal, and declares that no one in Cuba
who knew the parties or had heard the
evidence believed them guilty. "The
only reasonable explanation, says the
Sun, "seems to be that the decision was
rendered in accordance with the order
superior duly received by the judges.
| The records in this case show that it
has been common practice to give or
ders to the court" Reeves, the Sun as
serts, confessed himself perjurer and
was the only man to whom any theft of
money was traced. Closing its article,
the Sun declares that the verdict is so
scandalous as to demand COMPRESSION
al Investigation.
This case presents most remarkable
phase. Parties returning from Cuba,
resident in this city, and who took the
pains to make inquiry Of public sentl.
ment on the island, report that thero is
generally Indignation at the result; that
it is generally believed thai Mr. Rath-
bone, especially, is victim Of political
officialism; that the republican leaders
have felt it necessary to their party or
ganization to secure his conviction, and
that his conviction aud sentence were
demanded by the Washington authori-
ties. 1t is further c)ntended that if
the case is ever taken before the Cuban
supreme court it will be reversed very
promptly.
The whole case, from the Cuban
standoint, is given an entirely different
aspect from that reported by the official
reports and newspaper correspondents,
which the Havana Sun declares to have
been "doctored" for the purpose of
producing favorable impression in
the statates.
II Congressman Richardson hasn't
been "cured" of sensational enterprs-
es by the failure of the Danish West
Indies episode, he might look into this
matter a bit and find out what is at the
bottom of this widespread Cuban senti-
ment in favor of Rathbone. - Chatta-

EAST TENNESSEE.

Knoxville, Tenn, March 30.-The
loss by the flood which swept the Emo
ry Valley, Saturday, may reach nearly
a million dollars In Roane and Morgan
counties, when the full story is known.
At Hartman the loss will be between
$55, 900 and $125, 900. The exact amount
will depend upon the damage done to
the Hartman Leather company. If
this is total loss the damage to the
one plant alone will be $75,OO8
AT Oakdale the loss is not more than
$15, 900, but it is on the farm along the
Emory where the greatest damage, it is
feared, has been done.
The flooded section of Hartman pre-
sented dosolste appearance today.
Marks of the food are plainly to be

Clay Evans Resignation

President~Roo bloated back
bone seems to have deserted him and
he has yielded to the demand Of the
pension attorneys and leaders of the
Grand Army of the Republic. He has
disgraced his administration by per-
hitting these pension sharks to drive
Hon. Fl. Clay Evans out of office. Evans
stood for decency and economy in the
pension office, and while he denied no
man pension that could claim it right
fully or legally, he did deny pensions
to those not entitled to them and in
this way incurred the displeasure Of
the pension sharks who have been
camping on his trail and doing every
thing in their power to make life bur
den to him. They have succeeded in
making things so unpleasant that he
has resigned. No matter what honors
may be conferred on Mr.. Evans by
President Roosevelt he can not escape
the shame and humiliation of yielding
to greedy gang of pension looters. If
he is sent to Cuba as minister no doubt
he will render the country a good serv-
ice, but he should have been retained
in the pension Office where he has for
so long protected the treasury against
unjust raids. Commercial Appeal.
