fense secured continuance until Monday
on account of the absence of witnesses. As
the State occupied only a little over two

The prosecution was compelled to close

in some cases had fed and in other cases

afraid TO testify. and there is a general
impression that Jurors are also apprehen-
sive for the future. There are very many
reasons advanced for the current opin-
ions that there is not likely to

Still there is much speculation as to what
might happen in the event of conviction

CANAL OUTLOOK is DARK
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS CON-
CERNED OVER THE SITUATION.
Yesterday He Held Two Conferences
with Counsel Cromwell, of the
Panama Company.

WASHINGTON. June 13.-President
Roosevelt to-day sent for William Nelson
Cromwell, counsel for the Panama Canal
Company, to confer with him about the
canal situation. Mr.. Cromwell spent half
an hour with the President in the forenoon
and the conference was resumed by ap-
pointment at o'clock this afternoon. 1t
is understood the President is considerably
concerned over the canal outlook. The
administration is not in the least disposed
to be impatient with Colombia and is will
ing to allow the Bogota government a rea-
sonabe time to execute its obligations to
the United States. At the same time the
Washington authorities regard these obli-
cations as more binding than those of an
ordinary treaty and cannot admit the right
Of the Colombian government to recede
from them. If not carried out by ratifica-
tion of the canal treaty, which comes be-
fore the Colombian Congress at its meet
ing this month, the United States hopes
Colombia will find some other means of
executing its obligations to this country
as regards the Panama canal. Mr.. Crom-
we'll declined to see callers after his con-
ference with the President.

NO AFFIDAVIT WITH THIS
QUEER STORY WORKED UP BY A
WISCONSIN EDITOR.
Mysterious Prof. Hoffman,, Said to BE
Prince Rudolph, Who Was Supposed
to Have Killed Himself.

MARINETTE, Wis, June 13.-The Mari
nette Star is authority for a story to the
effect that Professor Hoffman, who re-
Gently resigned from the faculty of the
University of Iowa, is Crown Prince
Rudolph of Austria, who was supposed to
have killed himself fifteen years ago.
Hoffman's resignation at the university
was requested because he refused to re-
veal his identity after admitting that he
was going under an assumed name.
1t is stated that Professor Hoffman Wis
tied in Menominee, Mich, at the home of
a woman who is a sister of the command
er of an Austrian battleship.
At the time it was reported that the
Crown Prince had killed himself in Aus
tria, it is asserted that corpse resemb-
ling him was made up at the funeral while
the Prince disappeared from the Empire.
and that he is none other than Hoffman,
professor of medicine. The Crown Prince
was said to be one of the leading physi-
clans of Austria. The story in part is con-
firmed by DR.. Redelings, of Marinette, and
by Attorney B. j. Brown. Of Menominee.
Circumstances in connection with Hoff-
mans stay in Marinette also tend to con-
firm the story.

that the question of enforcing the law in
regard to such affairs rested entirely with
the local authorities and that he had no
right to interfere until it was shown that
the officers were unable to meet the situ-

county has been asked to stop the picnic
proposed for this month. but that he had

to Represent Hi. Brother, who
Lives I'm Milford, Ill.

Dorman NJ Davidson, a real-estate dealer
with offices In the Law building, reported
to the detective department at the city
police headquarters yesterday afternoon
that his pocket had been picked as he was
going out of the postoff1ce building yester-
day morning. He said he had just drawn
$500 out of the Indiana National Bank, a
$500 gold certificate and $500 in $40 bills,

pushed aside by a rough-looking man and
at the same time was given bump from
another man behind him. The men disap-
peared and a moment later he discovered
his loss. He gave the detectives a good
description of one of the men and they
are now searching for them.
Mr.. Davidson, it is said, sold thirteen
acres of ground near Clermont, Ind,
yesterday, acting as agent for Francis
Tansell, of Milford, Ill. He was to have
sent Tansell, who is a poor man, a bank
draft for the amount realized from the
sale, less his commission, on completion of
the bargain, but yesterday afternoon noti-
fed Tansell that he had made the sale,
but was unable to send the money as 1t
had been stolen from his pocket at noon.
The amount realized from the sale was
$500, s32 of which was to be held by David
son as his commission and the remaining
s76S should have been sent by draft to Tan
sell. On hearing that Mr.. Davidson had
been robbed of the money received for his
little farm, Mr.. Tansell notified his son,
Charles. who lives at Clermont to look into
the affair. Charles Tansell came to Indian
apolis yesterday afternoon and says that he
found that Davidson had taken the money
out of the bank just before noon on Satur-
day. knowing that he could not secure a
draft after Il o'clock.
