WASHINGTON IS DULL.
Exodus of Congressmen Gives Git!
 Deserted Appearance.

Deserted Appearance. washington, July 4.--(SpeciaA. )--The ad- journment of Congress always has an unusually marked effect on csonditions in Washington. As soon as the lawmakers get away the city settles down into rui which. everything considered. makes 1t as much like a country village as it-is pos sible for a city of this size to be.
 Of course the army of department workers are still here and at certain times of the day. when they are going to and from their respective offices. the streets are throuDcd. But this does not last long and as soon as the clerks are out of the way the broad avenues of the capital resume their wonted appearance. which is not far different from that of streets in many small towns all over the country.
 washingtonians are not especially bust ness like or busy, either. and 1t is only the department clerks from all sections of the country. and the Senators and Rep resentatives who are here during sessions of Congress. who give the natives some lessons in the art of push and hustle. :" And even the department clerks. after they have been here for some time, be- come as apathetic as the others. so that. were it not for the constant infusion of new blood. Washington would be very sleepy city.
 One of the most marked results of the exodus of Congressmen and clerks is in evidence around the hotels. Several of the more pretentious of the family hotels-of which the city has an unusually large supply-have already closed for the summer while at others rates much lower than those prevailing during the winter are being offered in an endeavor to fill the rooms made vacant by the home going of the lawmakers and their families.

AMEs TRIAL PROCEEDS.
Despite the Holiday State Continues to Take Testimony in Bribery Case

Minneapolis. Minn., July 4.-By mutual consent of all parties, the trial of Frederick W. Ames. Superintendent of the Police Department. for bribery pro- ceeded today in spite of the holiday. The State put on three witnesses in the morn ing and rested just before noon.
 Patrolman Zalusky told the story of how he had arrested Edwards the ''big mitt" man, while running a joint on bis beat. He took the man to headquarters where he was set at liberty by Superin- tendent Ames who told him there was no case against the man he had arrested.
 Patrolman Rhodes told how he had been instructed by the Chief not to arrest the "big mitt' men but to bring them and the suckers who complained, to headquarters If the suckers refused to make complaint there were to be no arrests.
 The defense now takes an inning and 1t Is expected to set up an alibi covering the time when Crossman, another "big mitt" man, swears he handed the Super intendent $25 as part of the proceeds of a draft taken from Roman Mex. one of the victims.

WESTERN TRAIN ROBBED
HELD UP AND LooTED IN
 ILLINOIS.
Engine Driver at First Thought the Affair a Joke-officials Have in Custody Alleged Un-
 willing Accomplice.

Joliet, H., July 1.-The Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific road through express train No. 5, bound for Omaha and Den yer, and which left Chicago at 10 o'clock last night, was held up by robbers al Dupont, Ill.. an hour later.
 Express Messenger Kane was shot through the groin by one of the rob- bers, and is in critical condition.
 The local safe was forced open, but the amount of the booty secured is not known.
 Charles Nessler. who climbed over the tender of the engine and told the en- gineer and fireman to stop the train has been arrested. He was taken to Chicago this evening in charge of railroad detec- lives. The officials doubt his claim of innocence having found in his posses sion an old slouch hat with hole in the top which could have been used as a mask. Nesslers past will be thoroughly investigated.
 According to Nessler' story three rob- bers were concerned, though the detec- tives think there were more. Nessler IS about 22 years old, of frank appearance and intelligence, and claims to be of respectable parents. He says he went to Niles Center recently to visit cousin. Later he started home. and having no funds was beating his way. taking the train at Chicago.
 At Englewood he climbed on the bum- pers back of the tender and had scarcely secured this position when two men also climbed up They said nothing in par ticular until Midlothian station was reached. Then one of the men climbed over the end of the tender upon the coal. and ordered Nessler to follow. Both men had adjusted black masks to their faces. At the point of revolver Nessler was, he says, told to go forward to the cab and tell the engineer to stop the train half mile beyond. Thoroughly frighten- ed he did so. The engineer and fireman regarded the request as a joke and laughed.
 Look up there." said Nessier.
 The trainmen did so and saw two re- volvers pointing toward them.
 ''This is no joke" said one robber. Stop the train or I'll kill you"
 The engineer shut off the steam and brought the train to a standstiIl near the Dupont switch. The engine crew were taken back under guard. Nessler being commanded to remain in the cab and keep quiet
 Demand was made on the express mes- senger and baggageman to open the door of tbeir car under threats to blow 1t up with dynamite. The door was opened and the robbers rushed in. 4 struggle followed and Messenger Kane was shot In the groin. The robbers attempted to open the through safe. but was unsuc- cessful.
 The local safe. however. was forced open. It is not known what amount of money was taken. It is reported that a bag of jeweIry and some money was found fin the safe. but the railway off, .eiais say practically nothing of value was secured. The robbers disappeared. Kane was taken to Linley Park for treat nent and later removed to the Englewood Hospital. The police here have satchel and quantity of dynamite found fin ,a car near the scene of the robbery. None of the passengers were molested.

TROOPS ARE ORDERED OUT
Posse in Pursuit of the
 Murderer.
Fugitive Surrounded at One Time, But He Fought His Way Through the Gordon,
 Killing Two.

Seattle. Wash, July 4.-Convict Harry Tracey has just passed a red letter day in his cratic career. He killed Police man E. E. Breeze and Neil Rawley in the city limits. after having murdered Deputy Sheriff Charles Raymond of sno- homish County. and probably fatally wounded Deputy Sherin John Williams of King County, early yesterday.
 Tracey was first encountered by a Seat tie posse near Botheil at 3:3o o'clock in the afternoon. Evidently the convict caught sight of his pursuers before they saw him. He had taken a commanding position in a clump of huge frs and opened fire. Raymond was instantly kill ed by one of the Winchester rife balls. Another struck the raised rife held by Williams. splitting it in four parts. and entered the deputy's breast. It is not be- lieved he will live.
 Governor Mcbride of this State. who is in the city with Adiutant General Drain, of the State militia, is taking the keenest interest in the case. He has of- fered reward of $2,50e This. with other rewards offered by the relatives of the victims of Tracey's rife, brings the re- wards offered to more than $500.
 The Governor has. also ordered two troops of the State militia to aid the posse.
 Shortly after o'clock in the evening. Tracey was located in the home of Mrs. R. H. Vanhorn at the southwest corner of Woodland Park. The news was con- veyed to Fremont by butchers boy who broke the intelligence just as Sheriff Cu- dihee drove into the suburbs from Both ell. The house was quickly surrounded but Tracey deliberately fought his way through the guards. killing Policeman Breeze and mortally wounaing Guard Rawiey, who later died, and disappeared into the brush toward Ravenna Park, < Sheriff cadihee susiid ned all the ass sistance available and began strategic movements in order to surround the flee ing fugitive' Tracey went in an easterly direction toward Ravenna and once well within the shadow of the underbrush and timber which skirts Woodland Park, would be safe from observation.
 Tracey slept in a barn at Ballard, six miles from here last night, and was seen to leave at 5:30 this morning.
 The two companies of militia are ready to start in pursuit.
 At midnight Governor Mcbride ordered companies B and D. National Guard. to assemble at their armory. It Is under stood that Governor Mcbride had no in- tention calling out the troops unless Tracey should be taken alive, in which case they would be used to prevent a lynching.

Appointment in Army Secured Him
 Money Left by an Officer.
 Washington, July 4.-An interesting and unusual incident has come to light in connection with the appointment of Lieu tenant Carl F. Busschie to the army.
 Lieutenant Busschie comes from the ranks and was reconimended for appoint ment of Second Lieutenant because of his strict attention to duty and manifest fit- ness for such advancement. His father is Baron Busschie of Berlin and the pa rent has now written to Secretary Root asking to be furnished with properly att tested evidence that his son has been ar pointed an officer in the United States army in order that the courts may au- thorize the Busschie estate to pay to the son the sum of $1,000. A legacy which was established 200 years ago by mill tary-loving ancestor bestowed on each member of the family who obtained a commission in. any of the armies of the world, the above-stated sum, to be used for purposes of equipment.
 The young officer is now serving in the Philippines with the 18th infantry.
