Hobocs do not like to have one of their
number die in their midst. This accounts
for the finding of Tom Hughes, almost
dead and unable to move, in the alley at
the rear Of the old gospel mission on
South Main street.
Policeman Jack Gray had his attention
called to the emaciated form in the alley
by people living in the neighborhood. He
made an investigation. Within few feet
Of the dying man was small shack, in
which were two Of his companions.
The policeman entered the shack. Al
most Immediately he hurried back into
the open air. Then he discussed with
those inside the reasons for their action
in forcing their companion out upon
bed Of snow, when his couch of death
should have been at least the best they
could afford.
They viii Not Speak.
Both men were sulen. They did not
volunteer much information. They adj
mitted that they had forced Hughes from
the place. Each declared that he did not
want his former companion to die while
in the shack. For this reason he had
been cast out carly this morning, to live
or die--his companions did not care even
to the extent of watching the fight Of
the spirit.
While questioning the men the officer

and the court and created considerable ex-
citement in the courtroom.
When court resumed this morning James
Murray, the star witness Tor the state, who
told yesterday of being the man who saw
PRESLEY not long before the tragedy of
September IS and who told of quarrels be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. PRESLEY, resumed the
stand. He was subjected to a vigorous
and rigid cross-examination by the de-
fense, but did not vary from his original
story, told on cross-examination. The state
announced that it closed Immediately upon
Murray leaving the stand.
Then it was that Mr.. Preston began
his opening statement that was destined
to make such sensation. He declared
that Mrs. PRESLEY had an Illicit love for

CASTRO HAS ARRESTED
GERMANS AND BRITISH

Caracas, Dec. o.-All German and
British subjects in Caracas were arrested
yesterday.
President Castro received the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press at Mira
Flores palace yesterday. In reply to qucs-
tions the president of Venezuela said
"The Venezuelan government has re-
ceived no ultimatum, properly speaking,
but merely requests from Great Britain
and Germany The claims Great Britain
asks this government to settle are small,
and up to the present time we have not
been aware of them. Never having been
presented Venezuela has consequently
never refused to settle them. Great
Britains action, therefore, is without just-
fcation.
Must Crush Rebellion First.
"The Venezuelan government cannot
decide on foreign claims before the revo-
luton has been entirely crushed. At
present the only aim of the government is
the establishment of public order and
other questions must necessarily be sub
servient to this object. Nevertheless, to
prevent Venezuela's desire to settle all
pending claims in confrmable manner
the government issued decree during the
last session of congress, dated November
a8, creating committee, to which all
pending claims should be referred. No
claims have been presented to this commit
tee and no claims have been rejected.
There has been no denial of justice; why,
then, should foreign chancellories inter
vene, thereby ignoring our laws and en-

NO NEW PETITION FILED
FOR INCARCERATED GIRL.
Grace Hustled Is Still in Jail on the
Charge Upon Which She Was
Brought Back Here.

The attorney for Grace Hustled failed to
file new petition for writ of habeas
corpus in behalf of his client today, and
the case will probably go over until to.
morrow Judge McClernan expected that
the petition would be filed at the opening
of court this morning.
For some reason it did not come in and
the girl Is still held in the county Jail on
the charge OF vagrancy, on which she
was brought back from Ogden.

The case is expected To go before Judge
llarncy If il is not set in the usual
manner the lawyers will ask the judge to
make the setting as soon as possible.
Other petitions concerning the count of
ballots will be much the same as that filed
this morning in behalf of Mr.. Ryan.
There may be some slight changes in each
case. The claim will be made in each, as
it is III that filed this morning, that under
each Of the alleged frauds enough votes
were lost to the petitioner to elect him
easily
In the petition filed by Attorneys J.
Bruce krcmcr and {. p. Connolly, on be-
half Of Patrick V. Ryan, the democratic
candidate who was declared defeated, the
fact that the uneanyassed returns re-
mained in possession Of John Weston, who
was declared elected, without any seal to
protect them, is the principal allegation.

Mssoula, Dec. Io.-Ihat Mrs. Ira
Presley was murdered by her paramount
and not by her husband was the startling
statement made today in the rressley trial
by Harry II. Preston, attorney for the de-
fense.
1t was the first time the defense has
shown its hand since Presley was arrested.
The allegation has created profound sem
sation since no intimation OF it had come
out before.
Mr.. Preston further charged that Press
ley himself was drugged ny the same man
and while insensible his throat was cut
with intent to kill him.
These statements were made in the

Berlin Has Heard Nothing.
Berlin, Dec. Io-The foreign Office here
up to noon had not received anything
from Lagayra since Monday evening,
Charge d'Affaires Won Pilgrim Baltazzi
cabled that he had gone on board the
Vinita. The officials here have no con-
frmation Of the announced arrest of all the
German and British subjects at Caracas
and are therefore disposed to discredit the
statement. They say that possibly few
Germans and Englishmen have been ar
rested under some pretext by President
Castro, but the foreign Office authorities
consider it extremely doubtful that he
would permit the arrest of all Germans
and Brtons of Caracas

selected Count de Peretti de Rocca as the
French representative in the arbitration

proceed to Caracas Immediately with M.

sustained by French citizens whose houscf
were burned and whose plantations were
destroyed during the revolution. The ses

will depart within two days. On their
arrival at Caracas there will be formal

There is very little money in cycle racing

If an outsider tries to break Into a race
on the national circuit the Big Six men will
dump him or do anything they can to sshut
him out of a place. Sometimes they get
left, however. I remember once my partner,
George Leander, entered a six-day race. The
Big Six men offered to let him have fifth
place. He refused, and they stried to throw
him, or make him lose a lap, but he stuck
to them until the last night. Then he went
in and set such a pace that two of the Big
Six themselves fell behind and were shut
out Of the money. He finished in second

FAV0RITES ARE BEATEN
CLASSIC STAKES RUN SATURDAY
Derby, and Arsenal the Met
rOpOlitan Handicap.

Two classic stake events were decided
Saturday afternoon. At Louisville Alan-a-
Dale won the Kentucky derby, and at Nor
ris park, New York, Arsenal captured the
purse of $3.50 attached to the Metro
politan handicap.
Alan-a-Dale was sent to the front by
WINFIELD at the start, and at one time
had lead of dozen lengths over the
field. Inventor came strong in the
stretch, and finished length behind the
son of Halma, with The Rival beaten for
second place only by neck. Abe Frank,
the favorite, was half dozen lengths
away and badly tired.
Arsenal, in the Metropolitan, was hard
pressed by Herbert, Carbuncle, Chiffon
and Smoke, and finished under whip and
spur with scarcely strength left for an
other dozen lengths of the killing pace.
Herbert ran second, with Carbuncle close
behind.
At the fair grounds in st. Louis, the
inaugural handicap at one mile was won
easily by E. J. Arnold & Co.. S brown geld

GOPHER RECORDS BETTER
Iowa Sprinters Make Slower Time
: Than Minnesota Men.

Than Minnesota Men.
: 1t is interesting to compare the records
made by the Iowa athletes at their meet
Saturday afternoon, with those made by
Minnesota, in view Of the fact that Mime
sofa meets Iowa in a dual meet at Iowa
City next Saturday. Weather conditions
appear to have been about the same In
the hawkeye state as they were at North
rop field.
In the sprints and hurdles Minnesota
made considerably better time than the
Iowa men, although little can be learned
from figures in short distance runs. 1t
seems probable, however, that Pierce can
give the haWkeyes a run for their money
in the sprints, while Bockman, barring
accidents, ought to win both hurdle races
easily.
In the middle and long distance runs
Minnesota had decidedly the better of it.
Minnesota's time for the quarter, half
mile and mile runs respectively, was 81 1- ;
seconds, 2 minutes 10 seconds, and 5
minutes 1 second. Iowa in the same
events scored Sc 2-5, 2:2o and sos 20.
In the discus throw Swift of Iowa made
mark of 113 feet, against 106 feet 5
inches by La Fans of Minnesota. Harsh
of Minnesota made "a feet inches in the
shot put, against 81 feet inches by Par
son of Iowa. In the hammer throw La
Fans has a margin Of % feet inches over
the best mark of the IOwans.
In the jumps and pole vaulting there is
little to choose between the two teams.
The summaries at Iowa City Saturday:
One hundred yard dash-Scarr first, Mccoy
second, Yavorsky third. Time II seconds.
