THEELUSIVE MR.. TRACY
HIS TRAIL Is AGAIN LOST AND
FOUND.
The Slippery Convict Performs the
Marvellous and Gets Through
a Gordon of Guards.
Battles with Deputies.

Tacoma, Wash, July ia special to
The Ledger from Covington Wash. early
this morning. says:
Tracy has performed The marvellous
again and has slipped like a phantom
through a Gordon of guards at the foot
of Sluice Creek, fought battle with the
deputies mile west of here and escaped
into the timber. In the fighting no one
was hurt though when the outlaw fired
twice at r. F. Grove he was so close that
the deputy could feel the burning powder
as it was blown from the gun. When
darkness fell Tracy was thought to be
securely penned on the point of the
western bluff, where he had laid con-
cealed all afternoon. Though the guards
we're stationed thickly, one being posted
every fifty feet, he successfully eluded
them and travelled up the road bed of the
Palmer cut off toward Covington, five
miles distant.
At Has last night Tracy, arrived at the
saw mill plant of the CoVington Lumber
Company, a mile from this place.
Deputy Sheriffs J. C. Bunce, Fred
Bunce, Calvin and Croke had been sent
to guard this point. Deputies Grove and
the Bunces. father and son, has posted
themselves on the railroad near the saw
mill at the entrance of big cut near
a rise, in the ground. They were hardly
settled when they heard footsteps APP
proa ching from the Auburn side. The
challenge to halt was given.
Hello" responded the stranger.
What's your name?" demanded j. c..
Bunce.
My name is Anderson" as he gave
this reply. Tracy, for 1t was he started
to run The deputies opened fire but
Tracy ran up the track and a few yards
further encountered Deputy Sheriff

"A deputy" cooily responded the out

whistled harmlessly by, but Grove suf-

After the shooting Tracy entered the
brush along the side of the track where
he was lost in the blackness of the night.
Later Tracy attempted to board an east
bound freight on the north side of the
sluice creek. but was unable to catch

EDUCATORS ADJOURN
SESSION WAS SUCCESSFUL IN
EVERY WAY.
Generally Understood That the Next
Meeting Will Take Place in
Boston-The Resolutions
Adopted.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 1.-THE Ma
tional Educational Association conven-
ton of 1902 has come to an end.
In nearly every way is proved the most
successful ever held. Between 10000 and
5000 persons have been present, and
the weather has been perfect. Forty-five
meetings of the departments and six gen.
eral sessions contributed to the work.
At all of these some of the best known
speakers in the United States have de-
hvered addresses.
Most of the delegates will depart at
once for their homes. but small por
ton, a thousand or so. will stay in Min
neapolis and vicinity for some time in
order to visit various places of interest.
1t seems to be generally understood
that the meeting place for next year will
be Boston, the election of President Eliot
of Harvard University. being taken by
most of those in attendance to mean
there will be no further competition by
other would be aspirants for the honor.
The following report Of the Committee
on Resolutions of the National Educa-
ticnal Association was adopted this af-
terroon: The teachers and friends of ed
Ucation make the following statement Of
principles:
l. On account of the increased respon-
sibilities placed on the Bureau of Edu-
tration of public school sy stems III the
recently added territory of the United
States, in successfully conducting an ex-
tensive system of Indian schools and In
siding the various States and Territories
in securing good and efficient school sys-
TENS, we urge upon Congress the neces-
sity for organizing the bureau upon a
broader line and clothing the commits
sioner with higher and more definite pow
ers. We believe in the organization of
the Department of Education as an indie
pendent department. taking equal rank
with others.
2. We believe that conservative but
efficient compulsory education law with
the proper regulation of child labor is
necessary to the complete realization of
a good common school system
g. We heartily commend every step for
increasing the necessary qualifications of
teachers.
T. Again we would plead for unity of
effort in the complete education of the
child.
s. We believe 1t is both just and pos
sible to keep the country schools in the
foregoing class and renew our endorse
ment and commendation of 1t as the best
plan yet proposed in relief of the isolated
one-room schools.
6. We recommend to all local authority
the necessity of greater care in the ar

The resolution was indefinitely post

POPE'S POWER LIMITED
CANNOT COMPEL WITHDRAWAL
OF FRIARS.
Now Believed That the United
States Will Not Gain All the
Points Contended for in
the Negotiations.

Washington, July 1.-THE negotiations
now in progress with the Vatican in re-
spect to the Philippine friars' evacuation
of their lands will fail. 1t was realized
at the beginning when Governor Taft s
instructions were framed, that they rep
resented the extreme of our claims and
that they did not preclude the idea of
reasonable compromise by mutual conces-
sions. The negotiations are progressing
in this spirit The United States govern
ment will not secure everything 1t de-
sired because if the Pope were disposed
to concede, the negotiations have devel-
oped the fact that although his power Is
theoretically unlimited, in actually the
internal poll tics of the Vatican impose
conditions even upon the chief prelate OF
the church which he must observe. There
fore the immediate and complete with
drawal of the Spanish fr1ars from the
Philippines is not now expected but it Is
believed that the result desired can be
accomplished by an arrangement for the
substitution of friars of other nationali-
ties and the principal issues at present is
as to the time in which the change may
be brought about.
AS the friars are gathered almost alto
gether in Manila and are heavy charge
on the converts and members of the Cath
Ollie Church outside the order who are
minimizing them, it is expected that they
will hasten the solution of the problem
by themselves voluntarily seeking other
fields of labor outside of the archipelago.
for it is not held to be within the power
of the United States government to re-
establish them in their parishes against
the desires of the native Catholics.
Although Governor Taft must make
concessions on this point he has been
successful in other matters and espe-
cally so in the matter of religious edu-
cation in the public schools. The Cardi-
nails Committee insists strongly that any
arrangement made with Governor Taft
must include some provision for religious
training in the schools, but it appears
now that the committee has consented
to an indefinite postponement of this is
sue which is in itself a satisfactory So
luton of the case from the standpoint
of the United States
Secretary Root. who is directly in
charge Of these negotiations in Washing
ton. has been in consultation with Secre-
tary Hay. who, as the senior member of
the Cabinet in Washington, is called
acting president" respecting this ques-
ton, and the response to the Vatican s
last communication will represent the
ticials and in addition it will be submit
ted to the President in it's essential
points before being forwarded to Rome.

ARGUMENT LASTED TEN HOURS
AND WAXED FIERCE.
At Times It Looked as If Personal
Encounter Would Take Place.
Endorsement Refused
Election idea.

At the annual meeting Of the Alabama
Commercial and Industrial Association
in Gadsden which closed Thursday, the
question of electing Railroad Commits
sioners of Alabama by the people was
a lively subject. but ended after long
fight without any action whatever on the
part of the Association.
Members of the Montgomery delega-
ton who participated in the meeting re-
turned from Gadsden yesterday morn
ing. They say the resolution touching
upon the Railroad Commission precipitat-
ed a lengthy discussion which was at
times acrimonious.
The Railroad Commission resolution
was introduced by ]. c. Sproull of An
niston 1t was as follows:
Resolved, That it IS the sense of this
Association that the Railroad Commission
of the State of Alabama should be elect
ed by the people and paid by the State
and that laws should be enacted by the
Legislature giving said commission power
to establish and maintain equitable rates
on shipments made within the State

rangemcnt of course study, that they
may be ADAPTED to the pupils to be in
structed, rather than that pupils should
be adapted to a fixed course of study.
z. We urge public school authorities
Of the country, teachers and parents, to
give strict attention to moral instruc-
ton as the true foundation Of character
and citizenship.
8. 1t is apparent that familiarity with
the English Bible as a masterpiece of
literature is rapidly decreasing This
is the direct result of a conception which
regards the Bible as a theological book
merely, and thereby leads to it's exclu-
sion from the schools of some States. We
hope and ask for such a change of senti-
ment as will permit and encourage the
English Bible now honored by name in
many school laws and State constitutions,
to be read and studied as literary work
of the highest and purest type.
9. We commend the examples of those
boards of education whose settled policy
is to employ teachers upon merit only.
10. We believe there should be a COM
mission created by this body whose duty
shall be to collect the hest information
extant on the construction of school
buildings

Secretary and Treasurer of the United

with the officials of the Kanawha and

has made concessions to it's men, and it
