Methodist Episcopal church in this

over the venture. He said:
There is great need of better en-
forcernent of the laws in municipal life
throughohb the two states. The asso-

to put stop to all professional base
ball and open saloons on the Sabbath

long hope to have membership en-

who believe in decency and good or

vine, of the municipal court, today on
a charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons. They pleaded guilty and were
sentenced to sixty days in Jail. Price,

Buckley the second detective, ar
rived here from .Galesburg, ILL.,, today.
On entering the Jail he was recognized
by Price, the injured man, who re-
treated into his cell and refused to be

will be no further developments in the
matter until the Burlington detectives
arrive with further evidence.

BERLIN, Aug. 13.-Confidential in
formation has been received from Mu-
mich court circles that the real reason
for breaking the engagement between
tria and Duke Siegfried of Bavaria
was that each of the royal pair is said
to have loved another.
The archduchess declared her devo-
man prince, who, it is openly stated, is
none other than Prince Henry of Neck
lenburg- -Schwerin, husband of Queen
Wilhelmina of Holland. Archduchess
Marie allowed the emperor of Austria
to influence her to consent to the be-
trothal to Siegfried, but sober second
thought and consciousness that her
heart was inclined to another, induced
the princess to retreat from the match
before the marriage.
She intends to end her days in a con-
vent at Prague. Duke Siegfried's af-
fections are said to center on a Jewess
of Munich of striking beauty and great
wealth. During the past two years the
duke has exerted almost superhuman
pressure to persuade the lady's rela-
tves not to oppose the union. The rel
atives, however, are obdurate and have
invoked the intervention of the prince
regent, with the result that the duke
has been compelled to absent himself
from the country for six months in the
nope that he may forget his passion.
Siegfried is said TO be boyishly jubi-
liant over the collapse of the scheme
to marry him to the Austrian princess,
who has in Bavaria the reputation of
being a religious fanatic

Special to The Globe.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 13.-In a
peculiar way today a story came to
light which has no equal recorded since
the day the slave mart was destroyed
here.
Jerry Logan, the aged janitor of the
state supreme court, sold himself to
Gerald Stuart, clerk of the court, for
$1,000. For this sum he agrees in a
written contract to serve and obey
Stuart as his legal master from. now
until the time of his death.
The origin of the unique deal is that
logan, who. is a negro of rapid and
sporty habits, though never presump-
tuous in any way, has lately found him
self involved in certain debts which
have bothered him a great deal and to
get rid of them he sought this means
OF raising the ready money. The 81 900
was paid to him at once

parents sixty years ago and has many

appearance and bearing, beauty and
originality of costumes and number in
line. Special prizes were also offered
for the best marching bands, and the
result was a parade that for beauty
and originality in the uniforms dis.
played, the numbers in line andgthe
military precision with which they ex-
ecuted the drills has. seldom been
equaled by parades Of it's kind.
Most of the marching clubs were
clad in the natty uniforms of white and
purple of the Elks, but many original
uniforms were also shown, notably the
Quien Sabe lodge, of Ell Paso, Tex,
the members of which were resplendent
in native Mexican. costume. The cow
boy band of Ouray, Col, clad in the
blue shirts and the rough sheepskin
chaps" of the cowboy, led by a giant,
who lowered seven feet, clad in bear :.
skin chap" and carrying an old flint
lock musket as a baton, also attracted
much attention. The parade was re-
viewed by Col. Bubb, of the Twenty
second United States infantry, and the
prizes were awarded during the after
noon.
Prizes Are Awarded.
The adjudicating committee made
the awards to the marching clubs this
afternoon. For the best display, the
Montana Elks were given first prize;
Quien Sabe lodge, Ell Paso, Tex, sec
ond; Omaha, third. For the most
unique display the Park City, Utah,
lodge was given the first prize; Cot
ton Pickers'' Lodge No. 14S, Greenville,

Seattle (Wash.) delegation received the
first prize for the finest float and Hell

which Minnie Mitchell disappeared in
company with William Bartholin, she
saw Oscar Thompson, driver for
laundry company, and who is now held
in custody by the police; John Claffy,
the barn boss for the same concern,
and man wearing Panama hat and
a dark sack coat in front of the laun-
dry at daybreak. They were standing
beneath a bright arc light and she saw
them plainly. She resides in the neigh
borhood and knows the men well.
AS to Thompson.
While the police have always con-
tended that Thompson, who was a
boarder in the house of Mrs. Bartho-
lin, had knowledge of her death. they
had not suspected that he was in any
way connected with the murder of
Minnie Mitchell. The woman, how
ever, was positive in her statement
that she saw Thompson and Claffy in
company with the third man at the
time~and place mentioned. She knew
both of them and declared that there
was no chalce of her being mistaken.
The description of the third man, as
far as 1T is described by anybody. is
description of Bartholin the night he
was last seen with the Mitchell girl.
Ot1cers We're at once sent in search
of Claffy. and he was taken into Gus
tody without difficulty.
Thompson was called into the Office
OF the inspector and informed that
he had been seen with Claffy and Bar
thOlin on the morning following the
night of the killing of the Mitchell
girl.
On the Point of Collapse.
The information had marked ef--
feet upont Thompson, and he seemed
for a minute to be on the point of
collapse. He rallied, however, and de-
clared that he was not there and knew
nothing of the case in any way. He
was pressed hard, but would not
alter his statement, although he was
much worried. After the interview
Inspector Hunt declared that he was
more than ever impressed with the
opinion that Thompson had guilty
knowledge of the murder of Mrs. Bar
tholin, and thought that before long
he would weaken and tell what he
knew.
The woman tonight was confronted
with Thompson, and, while he was
forced to admit that he knew her and
she knew him, he denied her story
The woman declared that light-col-
ored cap, which Thompson had at
tempted to throw away, was one that
he wore at the time she saw him un-
der the electric light
When asked why he threw that cap
away to wear the one he had on when
he was arrested, he hesitated and then
said Give me until tomorrow. I
will talk with you then
This plea was taken as an indication
that Thompsons wall of stolidity was
broken down at last by the strong evil
dence he had been confronted with,
and the police think he will tell all he
knows tomorrow. They expect he will
confess to share in the murders.
Won't Tell Who She Is.
