MADE MOONSHINE
WHISKY AT HOME
Charge on Which Bas. Ii n
Giessman Was Arrested
at Sioux Falls.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 22.-Chief
of Police w. H. Martin, sworn in as
special deputy United States marshal
for the occasion, accompanied by w. l.
Rowland, deputy internal revenue coll
lector for South Dakota, today made
an important capture in this city in
the person Of Bastlin Giessman, who is
wanted in Missouri on the charge of
carrying on the business of illicit whis-
ky distilltng in Jackson county, that
state. The arrest was made by author
ity of a telegram from the United
States marshal for Missouri, and on a
warrant issued by United States Com
missioner D. ]. Conway, of this city.
Giessman, 1t has been ascertained,
arrived here about the 18th instant,
and when arrested was occupying
apartments at a private residence
where no doubt he believed he had
placed himself beyond the reach of
the United States authorities Of Mis-
souri,. His preliminary examination
will be held tomorrow before United
States Commissioner Conway. Wit
nesses from Missouri are expected
here in time to testify against the al
legged moonshiner.

RUSSIAN POLICE
CHIEF ON TRIAL
Former Head of Kronstadt
Force Charged With
Embezzlement.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. %. = The
trial has just begun, before the court
OF justice, of Lieut.. Col. Schafroff, ex-
chief of police of KrOnstadt, on a whole
series of charges. 1t is alleged he en-
bezzled money received by him for the
equipment and pay of policemen and
hremen; that he eXtOrted money from
the proprietors of houses Of ill-fame,
to whom he is said to have extended
his protection that, in return for pc
cunlary considerations, he allowed all
coholic liquors to be sold in such
houses without license; that he toler-
ated all sorts of disturbances in these
establishments, and that he traded in
appointments to posts at his disposal
and sold his patronage to certain of his
subordinates. He is further accused of
abuse of power and of forgery in con-
nection with his official duties
Before being appointed to his post
at Kronstadt, which he has filled since
1895, Lieut.. Col. Schafroff was COM
missioner of police at Moscow, which
city he left owing debts to the amount
OF 10000 roubles, and afterwards was
assistant commissioner of police at ST.
petersburg. From both these posts he
was removed for peculation or extor-
ton. 1t is matter of surprise, after
all this, it should still have been pos
Slble for him to become chief of po-
lice In town so important and so
near the capital as Kronstadt, where
he lived eXtraVagantly, spending much
money in receptions, pleasure parties
and card playing.

PROTECTOR A REAL
SUBMARINE BOAT
Navy Officials to Test Boat
That Travels Bottom
of Sea.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The subma-
rine torpedo boat Protector, a new type
OF vessel, which will shortly be put
through series of trials for the pur-
pose of demonstrating her capabilities
to officers of the United States navy
is being overhauled at City Island and
put in f1rst-class condition for the
coming tests.
The Protector was built in Bridge
port, Conn, by her inventor and own
er, Capt. Simon Lake. The vessel is
designed for harbor defense. She is
sixty feet long Of eleven feet beam,
draws twelve feet of water and weighs
200 tons. She is built of steel and
equipped with two wheels to enable
her to travel along the bottom of the
sea. Her motive power is electricity
when submerged and gasoline, where
crushing awash. There were two tor
pedo tubes, one fore and one aft and
an opening in her bow will admit of a
diver leaving the boat to cut cables
or mine connections. Her builder says
she can destroy submarine defenses in
any harbor. During recent trials she
carried a crew of eight men and nine
passengers. A speed Of twelve knots
was easily made on her surface trip.

REPOPULATION OF THE
TRANSVAAL IS PLANNED
Boer Secret Committee Ships Husbands
for Widows and Orphan Girls.

GENEVA, Feb. 22.-The Swiss Ger
man papers give some curious details
concerning the existence of Boer Sc
cret committee in Europe for the re-
population of the Transvaal and Or
ange River colony with Swiss, Ger
mans and French, with the object, it
IS said, of preventing the English ele-
ment becoming too dominant IN the
conquered republics. Young men are
chosen in these European countries,
and, after being fully equipped, their
passages are paid to South Africa,
where they marry the Boer widows and
orphan girls. They are also advanced
money to rebuild the devastated farms
or start new ones.
To prove these facts authentic facts
are given.
In the south of Germany and parts of
France the same system of recruiting
is being carried on by the Boer COM
m1ttee, whose transactions are SO well
managed that little concerning them or
their movements can be ascertained.
1t is known, however, that the COM
mittee is in communication with many
important personages in this country,
and are receiving every assistance.

Damage to the Amount Of
100000 Inflicted ON the
Town of Derby, Connecti-
cut-Thrilling Experience
of Inhabitants Forced to
Take Refuge in Upper
Stories.

DERBY, Conn, Feb. 22.-The break
ing of three reservoirs in the town of
Shelton early today caused damage
estimated at between $4,000 and $780,
600, and there were several narrow
escapes from death.
There are three reservoirs in the
town situated on a hill in the western
part of the town. In some unknown
manner a hole was broken in the larg-
est reservoir. The rush of water soon
Increased the hole to immense proper
tions and the water flowed down to the
reservoirs below. These were unable
to withstand the pressure, and their
walls gave way, giving the water a
free path to the town.
The torrent tore a great gully 11O
feet long and thirty feet wide through
Howe avenue. Logs, trees and huge
cakes of ice were carried along and
crashed into several buildings.
The house of Walter Nichols was
struck by the flood. Nichols was away
and his wife was awakened by the ice
crashing against the door. few mo-
ments later the water commenced to
flow into the bedroom, where six chill
dren were sleeping. Mrs. Nichols hur-
rfed to the door and held it while her
children escaped to an upper floor. A
few moments later she escaped Just
before the water and ice forced in the
door ana hooded the rooms. The fam
lily remained prisoners in the upper
part Of the house until the water re-
ceded.
Warren Wilber was awakened by a
cake Of Ice crashing through his door.
He ran into the street, where the water
was waist high and hurried to the
nearest position of safety. Several
times he was hit by ice and fallen trees
and painfully injured. Ten minutes
later the side of the building was
swept away, and the bed in which he
had been sleeping was carried along
in the flood.
Street railroad tracks and telephone
and telegraph poles were torn up and
strewn about in confusion. The res
ervoirs will have to be rebuilt, and this
with the property loss, it is believed
will make the loss 100000. Several
mills will remain idle until the gravel
swept into the raceway is removed

LADRONES APPEAR
IN RIAL PROVINCE
Gen. San MigueTs Force
Captures Detachments of
COnstabulary.

MANILA, Feb. PA force of la
drones under Gen. San Miguel reap
peared in Rizal province yesterday.
They avoided an engagement with the
main force in the south, but captured
three small detachfients of constabu-
larry. The enemy surrounded the towns
of Cainta and Taytay, eleven miles
east of Manila, Saturday, and captur-
ed thirty scouts and ten men of the
constabulary, whom they disarmed and
set free.
Today Inspector McIIwaine, at the
head of ten constabulary, was sur
prised and captured near Montalban,
sixteen miles northeast of Manila The
ladrones promised to release them If
the constabulary would surrender their
arms. While they were comforting on
this point, McIlwaine made a dash
for liberty and he and all the constab-
ulary effected their escape.
When the news Of the temperance
of Gen. San Mtguefs force reached
Manila, reinforcements Of scouts and
constabulary were hurried into the
Rial province. Gen. Allen and Col.
Scott went to Antipolo and assumed
command of the forces there. They
met with smalT detachments of the
enemy and a few skirmishes took
place. They were, however, unable
to locate the main body Of -ladrones
Gen: Allen and Col. Scott are continu-
ing their pursuit and hope to overtake
them.
1t Is said that Gen. San Miguels
force consists of 800 men, armed and
uniformed. The zone of ladrone activ-
ity extends from Caloocan, four miles
north Of Manila, eastward to the
mountains Of Rizal and skirting the
northern limits of Manila.
The Manila police co-operated in
Saturdays effort to corner the enemy.
Secretary Winthrop, in the absence of
Gov. Taft, requested Gen. Davis to
furnish additional scouts and Gen. Da-
Wis has ordered another battalion Of
scouts to report to Gen. Allen. It is
added that additional troops will be
ordered out.
Gen. San Miguel's force is small and
the government is determined to speed
lily suppress it. San Miguel claims
the insurgent leadership and fights
under the Katipunan flag.
According to news from Albay Lu-
zon, force of ladrones attacked a
small detachement of constabulary
forces. The constabuIary retreated,
but killed eleven of the enemy. Two
of the constabulary were killed.

VAST RICHES FOR
A BONAPARTE
Great Grandniece of First
Napoleon Will Wed
Well.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Princess Marie
Bonaparte, great grandniece of Ma
poleOn Bonaparte, is one of the richest
heiresses in Europe, certainly the rich
est imperial heiress. She is just about
to come of age, having been born July
2, 1882, and it is said that a grand
match is designed for her.
Princess Marie's mother was the
only daughter Of M. Blanc, the founder
of the famous Casino at Monte Carlo,
from whom she inherits a fourth share
in the vast income derived from the
gaming tables. The other shares are
divided between M. Blanc's two sons
and his daughter, the Princess Batazzi.
The average net profits of the Casino
are about $6,OOO,OOO a year.
Princess Marie's mother died at her
birth and her father, Prince Roland
Bonaparte, who was descended from
Prince Lucien, the emperor's youngest
brother, has never married again. He
is a great savant, and his daughter
shares her fathers taste, presiding
with great charm over his salon, where
all the savantS of the world visiting
Paris are made welcome.
She is an enthusiastic motorist and
particularly successful photographer.
She has a gravity and strength of
character unusual in girl, and, though
she has had many suitors, she has nev-
er given any indication of desire to
marry.
Her greatest delight is a combined
motoring and photographing tour. She
has explored all the most picturesque
bits of France, bringing back re-
markable series of pictures.
Her facial resemblance to Napoleon
is striking, and she is exceedingly
proud of it. In the salon at her faith
er's mansion, at No 10 Avenue D'Iena,
in Paris, is a portrait of Napoleon when
about twenty-four, and the princess is
the exact image of him at that period
of his life.

Republican Leaders Confer.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. %
Some of the Republican leaders of the
senate who are opposed to the omni-
bus statehood bill held an extended
conference today and perfected the
compromise measure, the provisions of
Among those at the conference were
Senators Allison, Aldrich, CulIom,
Hanna, Spooner, Lodge and Platt, of
Connecticut. 1t is stated on excellent
authority that Senator Quay is anxious
that the compromise bill be adopted,
and that he is urging the Democrats
to accept it. The latter however, are
holding out more strongly today than
ever for the omnibus measure. 1t was
decided at the conference today to
submit the compromise bill to the
statehood Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis at the earliest moment in order
to secure their consent to it.

PARISIANS CELEBRATE
OPENING OF CARNIVAL
Police Forbid Representation of the
Humbert Family.

PARIS, Feb. 22.-In spite of the
threatening weather Parisians celebrat-
ed the opening Of the carnival with the
usual animation today. A procession
of students paraded the principal bou-
levards and streets in the afternoon, es-
corting grotesque groups representing
topical subjects, such as the interment
of the Moulin Roube, that once popu-
lar place Of amusement having recent
ly ceased to exist.
A vacant space in the procession was
occupied by a masquerader carrying a
notice that the police had forbidden the
parading of this group. The space was
to have been filled by grotesque rep
resentation of the Humbert family,
but the prefect of police objected to
the subject and prohibited it. After
dark the boulevards were packed with
masqueraders and others who carried
on lively battle with confetti, while
the seats in front of the cafes were
all occupied by amused onlookers.

SEVEN REASONS
FOR THE FACT
Why Naval Construction
Lags and the Contract
Ors Are Behind.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 22.-The
president has been in correspondence
with Secretary Moody respecting the
matter of delay in the construction Of
naval vessels, and the secretary in turn
has called upon the chief constructor
for a statement of conditions in the
various shipbutIding yards, where ma
val work is going on. The secretary
has submitted letter in the nature of
a report to the president including with
it the chief constructors report.
In substance these letters show that
while through number of causes the
building of warships has been delayed
and the dates Of their completion have
been and will be considerably beyond
the dates originally set, naval construc-
ton in the United States is not mate
rally behind the naval construction of
England and Germany in the matter
of time'
Secretary Moody argued that it
would be a mistake to offer a bonus
for the completion of vessels ahead of
contract time and adds that two
months ago he directed that no fur
ther extension of time be permitted
except by his own personal order.
The chief constructors report shows
that there are seven causes for delay
IN naval work, namely: Inadequate
plans, changes in armor or armament,
delays in the delivery Of armor and
ordnance, delays in government inspec-
ton, delays in structural steel, delays
due to inadequate facilities and INSULT
clent ability in the contractors staff
and delays due to inadequate supply
of skilled labor.
All of these subjects are treated in
detail in the report and the statement
is made that the apparent greater
speed in English shipyards is due to
the fact that ships are delivered by the
contractors in very incomplete con-
dition to the government, which spends
years in many instances in equipping
the ship for commission.
