PERRY POINTS OFT MASON.
Young Negro Says He Is the Man
Who Gave Him the watches.

Young Negro Says He Is the Man
Who Gave Him the Watches.
BOSTON, Nov. 10. - After having
given out Saturday night the confess
sion made by the young negro George
Il. 0. Perry with reference to selling
the watches taken from the murdered
women Miss Clara "A. Morton and Miss
Agnes McPhee the police now admit
that Perry declares that Alan G. Ma
son is the man from whom he received
these articles. This admission of the
police was made just before young
Perry was taken to the jail in East
Cambridge, where Mason, the promi-
nent Boston man under arrest on the
charge of killing Miss Morton, is con-
fined pending hearing in the Cam
bridge court. In one of the jail corri-
doris Perry positively identified Mason
as the man who had given him the two
watches. Mason by look or word be-
trayed no knowledge of having seen
Perry before. When questioned by
Sheriff Fairbairn, Mason merely said:
Il do not know this man. never saw
him before
During the day Chief Ryan and OIL
Ger Argy of Belmont talked with Per-
ry, and later State officers New, Dun
ham, Dexter and others took Berry to
the jail. The callers were shown into
the room where Mason and six others
were in line. Perry walked straight up
to Mason, who was second in position
and, pointing his finger at him, said,
"This is the man who gave me the
afchnc tn no WIN
He was about to leave the room
when Sheriff Fairbairn asked him if he
would not like to talk with Mason in
order that he might make himself sure
that Mason was the man.
Perry replied there was no need of
that, as he knew who the man was
and had known him for long time.
While sitting in the jail for an OPP
portunity to see Mason Perry was Civ
en- Sunday paper to look at. He
seemed highly pleased with the big
headlines in which his name figured
prominently.
It is thought by some that Perry had
to account for his possession of the
watches, and the most reasonable way
was to say that they were given him
by a man already under arrest and by
man whom he had seen on the
streets of Cambridge and could easily
identify.
The fact that the negro accused Ma
son of giving him the watches did not
give the police any false confidence
that the mystery Of the series Of brutal
crimes had been solved They recog-
nize that the Perry confession does not

FANATICS SENT HOME.
Doukhobers' March Stopped by Cana
dian Authorities.

dian Authorities.
one of the most exciting incidents in
the history of the northwest the Douk-
hobor fanatics have been forcibly en-
trained, loaded in cars like cattle and
were guarded by a large detachment
of mounted police, who were kept busy
preventing the Russians from throw
ing themselves from the car windows.
A military special of ten coaches left
here with the army and unloaded it at
Yorkton. Then the mounted police be-
gan to drive the Doukhobors to their
northern villages. This has been one
of the most remarkable experiences in
Canadian history
The Doukhobors arrived here Friday
night on their way to Winnipeg. They
attempted to resume their journey the
following day, with the mercury stand
ing at 10 degrees below. Government
officials held them with difficulty in
the byroad until the military special
train arrived with 500 mounted police.
The fanatics were addressed by the
officials and told they would have to
go home. They cried, mo; we go to
seek Jesus" Zibrof, their leader, ha-
rangued his followers, instructing them
not to resist.
Two hundred farmers who gathered
3 at the train to see them and 500 other
citizens surrounded them and offered
assistance. Fifty of the fanatics got
out and made a rush on the road to go
east. Surrounded by the crowd, they
resisted desperately, and the police
grappled with the leaders and carried
them bodily to the cars. Zibrof had to
be taken to the cars.
The Doukhobors encircled each other
with their arms, and while they strug-
gled they gave voice to their weird
chant. Some struggled so hard that
their clothing was literally torn from
their backs. For over an hour the
ground to the station was filled with
seething crowds, and excitement was
intense. The Doukhobors refused to
strike, but struggled blindly for free
dom.
Their captors shouted ard cursed as
the bloodless battle became more eX-
citing, and when the cars were reached
stalwart police handed up the kicking
Russians, who were thrust into dark,
cold coaches like CATTLE During the
enforced entraining of the amen the
weather became intensely cold. ri
The Doukhobors have been living on
wheat and raw oatmeal. On the train
small quantities Of bread were thrown
to them. Only about twenty out of 500
escaped, and they are on the prairie in
a temperature that means death to
them The action taken was on Inc
structien of the federal government,
which said the pilgrims must be sent
home if they had to be carried.

HITCH IN PEACE PLAN
Director of Colombian Revo-
luton Rejects Proposals.
REASONS FOR SPURNING CONFERENCE
Orders Issued to Continue War on
the Government Because OF Its
Failure to Recognise the
Rights of Liberals.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Nov. TO-
The reason why General VargasSan-
tos, military director of the Colombian
revolution, did not go to Panama to at
tend the conference arranged to take
place on board the United States bat
tleship Wisconsin in Panama harbor
between representatives Of the Colon
bian government and of the revolution
lists is because the government of Co.
lombia, according to advices received
here, intended to limit the subject of
the conference to the acceptance of the
decree of amnesty recently promulgat-
, ed by the president of Colombia, Senior
Marroquin.
General Santo Domingo arrived here
last month, bearing peace proposals
from the Colombian government to
General Vargas-Santos. He said the
purpose OF his government in calling
the peace conference was to establish
an effective and lasting peace which
would harmonic the interests of the
several political parties concerned in
the revolution. The matter was dis
cussed between General Vargas Santos
and the Colombian representative, who
exchanged a number of cablegrams
with the Colombian authorities at Pan
anna, with the result that General Var
gos-Santos accepted the proposals
made by General Santo Domingo and
promised to attend the conference at
Panama with Generals Perdomo and
Salazar of the Colombian government
and General Herrera of the revolution
lists.
At this point of the negotiations Cen
eral Vargos-Santos received advices to
the effect that notwithstanding the
proposals of the Colombian govern
ment made through its representative
here Colombia purposed limiting the
conferees to the acceptance of the de-
cree OF amnesty. General Vargas-San-
tos thereupon refused to accept such
proposition and decided to withdraw
from the conference, which, he says,
he considers futile. .... -.:.
At the same time the military direct
or of the Colombian revolution learned
that the Colombian government had
issued orders to General Tovar to imt
prison the revolutionary general Tribe
Tribe and sentence him to death with
out mercy This order was given in
spite Of General Uribe-Uribe's capitu-
lation to the government forces, which
occurred at Rio Frio, Colombia, last
month. The result of this news, which
is considered in Colombian revolution
airy circles here to be shameful vio-
lation of public faith, further decided
General Vargas-Santos not to attend
the peace conference at Panama, and
he issued orders to the Columbian rev.
dictionary army to continue its war
fare.
General Yargas-Santos declares he is
willing to make peace provided that
the Colombian government will recog-
nize the civil and political rights of
which the Liberal party has been de-
prived for the last seventeen years, but
not otherwise.

feated the Gunnery school team at
the Fair grounds Saturday by the
score of 6-5. The local team played
a very good game in the first half,
scoring their touchdown in the first
four minutes of playing. But in the
second half their playing was slow
and the Gpnnery team was allowed
to approach near enough to Taft's goal
to allow them to kick a field goal
from the 35-yard line. The game
was called at 2:54, Taft defending the
north goal. butcher kicked off for
Gunnery and Taft steadily advanced
the ball into their opponents territory

Should Don Her Furs

Perhaps she has discarded them as being out
Of style, or injured in some way, and does not
feel like calling on her husband for new ones.
In nine cases out OF ten this is a mistake. While
we have stylish garments, muffs and boas at the
lowest prices in the city w make speciality Of
repairing and renovatng Furs of every descrip-
ton. Don't throw away garments, nor muffs,
nor boas because you think them played out /;
we know better. 1t is our business to make
Their, look like new. It is folly to throw them
aside. Bring them to us and we will surprise
you, and at comparatively little cost What we
have done for others we can do for you. Re-
member that in addition to garments Of all
grades we have large stock of Furs, and can
make up anything you desire. Call and see us
before purchasing. We can save you money.
