BRIDGER BANK ROBBERS ATTACK
RED LODGE JAILER.
TURNKEY WAS TOO ACTIVE
Breaks from Grasp of Lonesome joe
and Secures Door-CIaim 1t Was
All a Joke.

Red Lodge, Jan. 1.-The three al.
legged Bridger bank robbers who are
confined in the Carbon county Jail
made a bold and unsuccessful at
tempt to escape. Jailer Harry Smiths
nerve did not desert him and he man
aged to slam and lock the heavy door
of the iron cage in time to keep the
three desperate men inside.
The attempt at escape was made at
supper time, when the door of the
cage was opened by Jailer Smith to
pass coffee to the five prisoners there.
Lonesome Joe," whose real name
is Lew Wallace, and who is supposed
to have been the ringleader in the
Bridger robbery, sprang forward and
seized the jailer with both hands,
while Will Countryman and Jess
Lindsay, the two other alleged plot
But Smith was equal to the emerg-
ency. He tore loose from Wallace's
grasp, sprang backwards and slam
med the door, narrowly missing catch
ing the haid of Lonesome Joe" in
the door. He thus rendered the pris-
oners helpless.
When confronted by Sheriff Potter
soon afterwards the men acknowl-
edged the attempt, but tried to pass
it off as a joke on the jailer. Fearful
lest there might have been outside in
fuences at work, Sheriff Potter slept
in the Jail all night with Jailer Smith,
but no further attempt to escape was
made.

FUMES SETTLE ON A TOWN.
People Almost Asphyxiated by Leak
ing Naphtha Gas.

New York, Jan. 1.-The leaking OF
a naphtha pipe at the gas plant with
an accompanying heavy atmosphere,
came near sitting hundreds of people
in P%ottsville, Pa, says a Herald dis
patch from that place. The accident
occurred just before dawn and the
air was so strongly impregnated with
gas that more than 1000 families we're
placed in a condition bordering upon
asphyxiation. The fumes spread I'M
til they invaded every house in the
town. People awoke choking and
gasping for breath. Hundreds were
scarcely able to breathe and lay in a
kind of inertia, without being aware
of the source of trouble. This con
dition of affairs lasted the greater
part of the day and created the wild
est CONSERVATION.
Of the 10000 inhabitants there was
scarcely a single person who was not
more or less seriously affected.

DOCUMENT WILL BE FORWARD
ED TO EUROPE.
He ACCEPTS THE TERMS
Aside from Statement of This Fact
State Department Will
Disclose Nothing.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The answer OF
President Castro to the proposals of
the allies to submit to the arbitration
of The Hague tribunal the Venezuelan
difficulties has reached Washington,
through Minister Bowen.
The answer amounts to a general
acceptance of the principles of the
proposition, President Castro being
willing to submit his case to the arbi-
tration of fair and impartial author
tiles. The details of the answer will
not be published here in advance of
it's reception by the European allied
powers, and in fact it may be with
held entirely from publication on the
ground that it really belongs to those
powers.
Today the answer is being prepared
at the state department for transmits
sion to Europe. AS it is quite long
and undoubtedly will require careful
consideration by the foreign offices at
London, Berlin and Rome, it is not
expected that any further steps to-
ward a final settlement can be taken
for a day or two. The feeling here,
however, based on a knowledge of
Castro's position, is that his answer
practically clears the way for the SUBJ
mission Of the case to arbitration.
The answer has given great satisfac-
ton here.

ENGLISH Coal for America.

London, Jan. lowing to the
heavy orders for coal lately placed in
Great Britain by American dealers,
there is large demand at Liverpool
for steamers to convey coal to the
United States. Freights are rising.
They are now $1.5O to $3.50 per ton.
The American orders include all va
rieties of coal. Several of the Amer
lean Transport company's steamers
have been chartered at Swansea,
where the demand continues.

GERMAN RESERVATIONS.
Venezuela Must Give Guarantee for
Portion of Claims.

Berlin, Dec. 31.-The German gov
ernmant's reservations in agreeing to
submit the Venezuelan claims to ar
bitration continue to be undisclosed
ir their entirety. From estimates ap,
pearing today, however, it seems to
be confirmed that Germany excludes
from the claims which are subject to
arbitration demands amounting to
outrages on the persons of German
subjects under circumstances which
are here deemed so clear that it is
useless to call in arbitrators.
The payment of this sum will not
be demanded in cash at present, but
a sufficient guarantee for the payment
will be insisted upon. Great Britain's
preferred claims are equivalent in
amount to $500, 900, hence the state
ments made abroad that Germany is
asking more than Great Britain are
incorrect. Germany valves an apol-
ogy for what are here called "diplo-
matte insults" asking only material
r%eparation.
1t is now stated that the German
cruiser Superior will sail for Vene-
zuela January 6.
The Lokal Anzeiger, the only Ger
nan newspaper having a special II
respondent at Caracas, prints a dis
patch from the Venezuelan capital
dated December %, relating to the
correspondents experience in inter-
viewing President Castro. He found
him at General Alcanar's estate dane
ing at MONDAY. General Alcanar,
who was waiting with a bundle of dis
patches, remarked to the co%rrespon-
dent that at would not do to inter
rupt the presidents pleasure, even
with state business. But the cores
pondent says he spoke to the president
between dances.

SENATOR HoAR HAS PREPARED
A BILL.
WILL NOT Be RADICAL
Measure Covers Views of Both the
President and the Attorney
General.

w SoA3 OoA. 1."0SudLOI l1OdI
seems greatly in earnest regarding
his forthcoming antitrust bill. He
has been giving the s~uoject his un-
divided attention q ring the holiday
recess, and will lave the bill ready
for presentation to the senate next
Monday. Several conferences have
been held between Senator Hoar and
Attorney General Knox regarding the
language of the bill, and the presi-
dent has also been conferred with.
1t seems altogether likely that the
bill is to cover the views of both the
president and Mr.. Knox and to be
known as an administration measure.
The republicans in the senate are pre-.
pairing to give Senator Hoar's bill a
respectful hearing, and if the repub-
lican organization can be got together
in support of any antitrust measure
at this time, it will support the Hoar
bill.
1t is a strategic move to have Mr..
Hoar's name linked to this bill. New
England has been and is opposed to
antitrust legislation OIL any radical
character owing to the dominant in.
fluence of New York sentiment there.
To have an administration bill intro
,duced and championed by the senator
who is at one the leading figure Of
the New England delegation and of
the United States senate and the
chairman of the judiciary committee,
to which the bill will be referred,
means much for it's smooth progress
through the committee and later
through the senate.
The Hoar bill will be an i%ndepend-
ent measure, but nobody has yet been
informed CT lines it will follow. Nee
essarily any bill which might be in
troduced world be amendatory of and
supplemental to the existing Sherman
law and the interstate commerce act
even if standing on it's fact as an in
dependent MEASURE. It is believed
that the senate will agree to strength
en- one or both of these laws, and If
the Hoar bill is not too radical, and
it can hardly be coming from so con
sentative a quarter, it will stand a
good chance Of getting through. 1t is
now believed that attempts at anti
trust legislation at this session will
be concentrated on the Hear hill,
which will give that measure an i'm
portance it would not otherwise have.
Senators who are in the city for the
holidays express the opinion that the
Hoar bill can probably be passed
through the upper house, which means
antitrust legislation at this session,
for the house, under it's strict rules,
can be made to pass the bill at any.
time. 1t is by everybody thought to
be fortunate that the bill is to appear
III the senate first, for that body for
years has been the stumbling block
in the way of legislation of any char
acter.

Organized Gang Bringing in sumatra

Wrappers.
New York, Jan. 1.-The Evening
Post says:
Nevada P. Stranahan, collector Of
the port, from certain evidences in
his hands, believes there is a regular
organized gang of tobacco smugglers
engaged in bringing the leaf into this
country or the north Atlantic passen-
ger liners. He is satisfied that he
knows the principals in the alleged
traffic, and he is preparing now to
close the nets around them and arrest
the ring-leaders in the scheme and as
many of their tools and %underlings as
he can lay hands on and find legal
proof against. In line with this plan
to root out the evil, many seizures of
tobacco have been made recently. Mr..
Stranahan said today:
practically every month since l
have been in office seizures of snug
g1ed tobacco have been made. Always
it has been Sumatra wrappers, on
which the duty is $1,S5 a pound. Ev-
cry evidence points to an organized
trade, and l am satisfied know the
men behind it. The stokers and sail
ors whom we have arrested and on
victed have had their fines paid in ev-
cry case"

This reused Wayne MacVeagh,
Yale. '53, who said, speaking on "The
Universities and Public Affairs"
"The university man must pay
more attention to a great question

of the men in charge-honest, we'll

I. But it had drifted out of their
hands, and the nation vas face to
face with a winter without coal. Then
a graduate of a university did appear
and said, Coal must be mined And
he was the chief executive. Then an
other graduate appeared, of almost
equal authority, the financial leader,
and he said coal must be mined.
But the issue was not entirely set
tied by either or both of them. 1t
depended not on a university gradu-
ate, but on the graduate of a coal
mine, who said, If arbitration is con-
ceded for Which l have been asking
for eight months, coal will be mined
tArbitration was granted and coal
was mined, but if one had been less
persuasive and another had not
agreed, then the mines would have
been dramatically sealed for a win

the Goa barons-you must deal with
the men who mine the coal and bring
it to the surface. You must admins
ter the government with the ideals of
civic virtue"
Mr.. MacVeagh was followed by
President Elliot of Harvard, who sug-
gested that each of the gentlemen
preceding him had slightly wandered
from his subject, referred pleasantly
to Mr.. McVeagh's i%mpetuosity, and
his discussion of the strenuous life.
He then outlined the ideal strenuous
life and led the discussion into quiet
channels. His subject vas THE
