CALLED TO THE CAPITAL
ATTORNEY SUMMERS SUMMON
 ED TO WASHINGTON.
Intimated That Cases of More Startling Nature Are to Be Investigated By the oma- ha Grand Jury.

Omaha. Neb, Nov. 19.-An important development in connection with the ln- dictment of United States Senator Diet rich and Postmaster Jacob Fisher Of E Hastings was the sudden summons late today of United States District Attorney Summers to Washington. The summons, it Is stated, came from President Rooser welt and it was instantly obeyed, MT. Summers leaving for the East tonight.
 Nobody at the District Attorneys office would venture to speculate on the cause and MT. Summers himself declined to dis cuss the matter before leaving. Great t importance is attached to his Eastern trip, however, as it Is not believed he would be taken away from here just at time when matters of some moment are pending except 1t were for very urgent reasons.
 A large number of witnesses came to the city today to testify in the pending postoffice Investigations before the grand 4jury and these will necessarily have to remain until Mir. Summers's return, which cannot be before early next week.
 It is suggested that the District Attor- ney was somewhat indiscreet in supple mentlng certain correspondence made public by the Department of Justice be- tween Attorney General Knox and him. Self 'The inference was that the Depart nent had given out so much of the cor respondence as 1t deemed necessary the adding thereto of another letter by the 1)istrict Attorney might be construed as a breach of discipline.
 At least two of the cases now pending before the grand jury. it is stated are expected to develop testimony of much more startling nature than the Hastings ease. Upon District Attorney Summers will fall the duty of conducting before the Federal Court the trial of Senator Dietrich which will be one of national importance. It Is stated that this is one : pf the important reasons for Mir. Sum ners's visit to Washington.
 It was learned today that considerable evidence has already been given before he grand jury in two of the pending oostoffice investigations. The details of 4 he charges in these cases involve several legislative districts which are said to have been drawn into the matter through pertain arrangements through the can yass made by candidates for the United states Senatorships two years ago.
 It is charged that number of men ap- pointed to postoffices in these districts pay certain sums oI money for their ap. zbointment. the payments being made to members of the Legislature in some cases trough an intermediary and in others to he members direct. In some instances he sums ran as high as $1,000 Testimony Aas also been given before the grand jur
 is stated, along this line.

chiefly at night. In the morning, be- twen the hours of six and half past, the army of gatherers (colilleros) assemblies in the Plaza Mayor, and the tobacco which they have collected Is sold at seven reales (about thirty cents) a pound. Each golfo manages to collect half a pound on the average and would thus realize about fiften cents. The purchasers boil and dry the tobacco and resell 1t at a hand some profit. Boys as well as men, haIf- dressed, hah-starved, and always un. washed, swell the ranks of this society, and the vast majority sleep under the stars. A favorite trick of the older and experienced folfos is the robbing of the younger ones as they lie asleep under one of the bridges across the Manzanares. which is their chief haunt at night
 The ranks of the homeless and disin- herited are swelled by new additions from day to day. Madrid's ability to support the present number of her inhabitants ia doubtful. But the authorities, such aa they are can neither stem the tide of newcomers nor cope with the masses already present. Plans have been sug- gested for cutting new streets through utaNY parts of the city. for IA:AfR1Ysr the outskirts and for facilitating couSs munication. The result thus far hea ben words and no relief can be IooAaA for in the immediate future.

that he is guilty of the murder of Willie Nickel the crime for which he is to be hanged tomorrow. According to The Times report, MT. Williams asked Horn. Are you not sorry for your sins?"
 Yes" replied Horn with an almost in- audible voice.
 And do you not repent the crime you have committed?"
 T do."
 Did Horn at any time deny his guilt" was asked of MT. Williams.
 "Oh, no; he made no denial. but in fact several times admitted that he was guilty of the crime. There Is no doubt as to that point"
 There Is only one thing which keeps Horn from collapse and offering up a full confession of his misdoings," contin- ued Rev MT. Williams, and that is the firm belief which he holds that his cow boy friends will rescue him. This was evident to me throughout the whole con- Versation.'
 Governor Chatterton to-day received a letter threatening him with death if he permitted Horn to hang.
 George Jackson, a wealthy sheep man from Rawlins, Is in Cheyenne, and has asked aid of the authorities in running down a written threat that he would be killed if Tom Horn hangs. There are hundreds of cowboys in town and one company of 25 and another of B arrived during the day. Bets of $50 and of $100 are being made at even money that Horn will not hang. The officials accept these bets as mean ing there will be an attempt to rescue Horn and have doubled the guard.

Whither Many People are Crowding from Various Parts of Spain
 +o Get Relief.

Never have l seen such hosts of idiers'
 beggars and cripples in Madrid before
 writes Rudolph Schwill, instructor Tn
 spanish at Yale University. in The Bos-
 ton Evening Transcript. Never dlu think it possible that such an army of the halt and blind. so many disfgured, dis torted unhuman shapes could be found in one city. There seem to be no regu- lations about the restriction of begging heyond the fact that beggar must not take the money out of your pocket him self. but he can follow and molest you as long as his patience or yours holds out. The number of beggars per square is a matter they no doubt arrange among themselves. Any adequate organized re- lief from this pest, in the nature of a charity orga nization, does not exist. Con seuuently, the whole caravan is thrown on it's own resources, and the tricks of the trade have been multiplied to such an extent that few beggars or cripples fail to make a living. Cooperation is ap- parent everywhere. All the members of a family are pressed into service. Another way of making d few coppers is the vend- ing of newspapers. This begins at day.

 Adverting to Morocco, NJ. DeschaneI said France had no intention to make war upon that country France wished neither military adventures nor the parti- tion of Morocco, and she had no desire to conquer Siam. There existed no oues- tion which could not be settled by diolo- macy or arbitration.
 The Deputy further declared that those who were responsible for armed peace were those who refused to discuss the proposition for disarmament It would be crime. he added. to seek to raise issues between Great Britain and France. The relations between France and Italy were most friendly. but the alliance with Rus sia must be the cornerstone of French policy.
