DESPERATE OREGON CONVICT
SLIPS THROUGH A GORDON
OF FIFTY MEN. b

Fully Thousand Armed Men and Two

. Criminal and His Capture or Death
Likely to Occur Within a Few

Behind the Fugitive.~

Seattle, WASH, July 9.-Harry
Tracey, the fugitive Oregon convict,
who has killed six men. and wounded
several others since June 9, is being
holly pursued by men and dogs in the
country southeast of Seattle and prob
ably will be slain or captured within a
few hours. His pursuers, who have
with them two fine bloodhounds, are
only short distance behind him.
Tracey made another extraordinary
escape from one of the posses during
the afternoon. Word was received at
the sherif's Office that Tracey had
been at the house of Mrs. Gerald,
near Renton, for five hours. Fifty
armed men at once fastened to the
scene. When they reached the place
they scattered and took positions so
as to watch the house to the best ad-
vantage. On the arrival of Sheriff
Cudihee the posse closed in on the
house, only to learn from Mrs. Gerald
that Tracey had given them the slip.
He had left the house by rear door
ten minutes previous, while the posse
were taking up their positions, hid
for few minutes in some of the BUSH
es and then quietly slipped away
through the woods towards Palmer. 9
The wonderful nerve of the convict
was never more fully exemplifed than
in this instance. In the backyard of
the Gerald home tied to a tree was
found Anderson, the man whom Tracey
had kept prisoner from the time he
left Port Madison. Tracey had tied
Anderson to the tree while the posse
were in full view of the house.
The bloodhounds were let loose on
Tracey's trail and are reported to be
only few minutes behind him. Fully
thousand armed are now engaged in
the pursuit, including posse which
has taken the train for Palmer to in
tercept Tracey in his flight toward
Cedar mountain.

He prefaced his proposal Of toast to

A COMMON ENEMY.
to Be So Regarded ia
Coming Naval Maneuvers.

Washington, July 9.-rUp to this time
the war and navy department officials
nave considered but two factors in
the coming joint army and naval ma.
neuvers on the Atlantic coast in Sep.
tember-the invading and defending
forces. Now, according to the plans
OF Secretary of the Navy Moody, there
IS to be third factor-the press of the
United States. The object of the ma
neuvers is to simulate as closely as
possible conditions of actual warfare
and the secretary believes that, as the
press plays such an important part in
real war it should be seriously con-
sidered. Therefore, he contemplates
throwing the press correspondents of
the country upon their own resources,
meanwhile having both invaders; and
defenders regard the news gatherers
as a common enemy" and endeavor
to mask the movements of their forces
as much as possible from the public.
It is not believed that under Secretary
Moody's plan there will be anything to
prevent news organizations from char.
tering vessels of their own and keen.
ing up with the fleets at sea as best
they may, for this was done in the late
0pohiaH-Auellcdn war. IN the late
war the great press organizations also
had correspondents aboard the flag
ships of the fleets.
Secretary Moody points out that his
plan will be valuable in bringing to
light news leaks" for which officers
who are found responsible will be rep.
rlmanded and in proving by practical
test how thoroughly the forces can
elude the vigilant correspondents and
guard against the escape of informa-
ton which might not be desirable to
have spread abroad in time of actual

of the terrific storm which prevailed

On the 10th Of June Philip Bishman.

The younger brother, Adam, Jr., his
TWO sisters and the hired man were
IN the basement of the large barn at

the storm burst in all it's fury. The
barn was torn asunder and the heavy
mass of farm machinery and hay with
which the upper floors of the barn
were filled, crashed, into the basement
upon them. One of the daughters was
Killed Instantly, and Adam, Jr., was so
fatally crushed that he died from his
injuries, The other two occupants
were rescued from suffocation only aft
er long hours of diligent work and dig

horses and six head of cattle were al
so killed on the place. The rest of
the family sought shelter in the house
and were unframed.
The storm scattered destruction in
its path, but, as far as yet reported,
no other deaths occurred. Although
the storm destroyed most of the build

crops were practically unharmed

FAVORS LIBERAL SUBSIDIES.
Lord Brassey Starts a Naval Discus

Lord Brassey Starts a Naval Discus
sion in the House Of Lords.
London, July 9.-Lord Brassey Gib-
eraD Initiated discussion, on naval
matters in the house! of lords, during
the course of which he deplored the
fact that Great Britain had lost the
place she once held with her mercan-
tile marine. The question of subsidies,
he thought, must depend on the action
OF the other powers. All the naval pow
ers OF Europe gave liberal subsidies,
While President Roosevelt and Former
Secretary Gage had recommended this
policy. It was contrary to British pol
icy to foster industries by bOunties or
protection, but to pay for reserve of
auxiliary vessels would certainly be to
the public advantage.
Lord Selborne, the first lord of the
admiralty, in the course of a reply,
referred to the Atlantic shipping COM
bine. He said it seemed to him that
the balance was one of disadvantage
to the combination because it neces-
sarAy placed very large powers in the
hands of few men. It would never
do to rely in time of war on merchant
ships of other nations for the purposes
of British carrying trade. Great Brit
ain had fallen behind in regard to YES
sells of high speed because she had not
given heavy subsidies like other ma
lions. The expense of so large a SUBJ
sidy policy was so insidious that in his
opinion the substituting of commercial
corporations should and must be con-
fined to limited number and for a
special and definite purpose. While
merchant cruisers had their proper
place in time of war they could never
be substituted for naval cruisers nor
would the possession of merchant
cruisers even diminish the ship build
ing vote for the navy.

Omaha, July 9.-Passenger trains in
to Omaha were late on nearly every
road during the day. The Rock ISL
and tracks south of Fairbury, Neb.,
are in bad shape and no trains have
been able to get in from the west or
depart for the west. All other roads
in Nebraska ere suffering from like
trouble. The excess of rainfall has
been so great for the past two weeks
that every road running west has many
miles of soft track. Freight is begin
ming to pile up in many places.
The situation was aggravated at
night by downpour of rain, which,
in many parts of the eastern half of
Nebraska and Western Iowa, amounted
to nearly a clOudburst and continued
until a late hour. One town in Muck
oils county reports ten inches of rain
during the past sixty hours, and many
other plabes have been equally we'll
soaked.
AT Herman, Neb., the scene of a tor
nado two years ago., there was a cloud
burst which washed several houses
from their foundations and one family
had to be rescued in a boat. their
nome having been washed quarter of
mile from it's original location.
In Eastern Iowa the downpour has
played havoc with railroad traffic. The
main line of the Northwestern road
between Missouri Valley and Denison,
Ia: is washed out in several places
and the Ute branch has also suffered
bad washouts. On the Fort Dodge
Omaha division of the Illinois Central
road there are number of washouts
reported and all traffic, freight and pas
senger, is tied up and unable to move
either way.
The damage to crops is thought to
be very great, especially in the valleys.
The lOWlands, already flooded by re-
cent rains, were again overlooked, and
rivers and creeks are torrents.
The Rock Island tracks are washed
out at Underwood, a., and no trains
have arrived here over that road since
noon. The track is reported to be I'M
der water in number of other places
and several freight trains are tied up
on both sides of the washouts waiting
for the track to be repaired. Four
inches of rain fell at Underwood dur
ing the afternoon and evening"
