WARSAW, Ind, Feb. 15.-Unknown per-
sons attempted to wreck the toll line cables
of the Commercial Telephone Company
here at o'clock this morning. Dynamite
was inserted near the top of the pole where
the cables lead into the Office of the ex-
change. in the business center of the city.
The explosion shattered a dozen windows
in the Hotel Hays and nearby residences.
The top section of the pole supporting the
cables was smashed to pieces, but the
cables were not damaged.
The noise of the explosion attracted scores
of citizens TO the scene, most of whom ap-
peared on the streets with rifles or other
firearms, expecting TO engage in battle with
bank robbers. The police tracked the dyna-
miters through the snow but lost the trail
at the Pennsylvania station, whence II is
thought they escaped from the city on a
freight train.
The controlling interest in the telephone
company is owned by Strauss Brothers, of
LigOnier. AS there is no other competing
line here, citizens are at loss to under
stand the action of the dynamiters.

his Minneapolis friends and fled to New
England. He was in Boston for time,
and later went to Hancock, n. H., where
a sister OF his wife resides.

WORK ON NEW PROTOCOLS.



WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Minister Bow
en- expects to begin the preparations of the
protocols with the representatives of the
unallied powers for the settlement of the
claims OF the citizens of those nations who
have suffered as a result of the troubles in
Venezuela There are eight of these claim
ant nations, including the United States.
The drawing up of the protocol with this
government will be the first undertaken.
Solicitor Penfield, of the State Department,
will represent the United States in these
negotiations with Mr.. Bowen. Work on this
protocol, 1t Is expected, will begin to-mor-
row. and Mr.. Bowen's belief is that matters
will move forward with greater rapidity
than they did with the representatives of
the allied governments who were enforcing
the blockade against Venezuela The nego-
tiations with France will follow those of
the United States, and so on until the pro-
tocols with all the unallied creditor nations
are completed. The suggestion has been
made that as the unallied nations naturally
are opposed TO any preferential treatment
TO Germany. Great Britain and Italy, that
I'm all proba bility Venezuela, the United
States and France will be lined up as rep
resentins the eight unallied nations at The
Hague opposed to the three allies.
Mr.. Bowen continues TO receive numer-
Gus congratulatory dispatches from Ven-
ezuela the satisfactory outcome of his
Work mere. One OF tnOSe Wnlcn ne prizes
most highly Is from the citizens of La
guayra,, through the prefect, which reads:
THE citizens of Laguayra, through me,
felicitate you as the great and good friend
of Venezuela"
Various EFFORTS have been made by rep
resentatives of big financial houses In this
country to sound Mr. Bowen as to his views
on the question of financing the debts OF
Venezuela which will arise out of the ex-
pected adjudication of the claims by the
several mixed commissions. Mr. Bowen,
however. has informed all those who have
spoken to him on the subject that his mis-
sion here is entirely diplomatic one and
that he could not consider the financial
features of the matter.

Strenuous Experience.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAwFORDSvILLE,I Ind, Feb. 15.-The
sophomore and freshmen classes of Wa
bash College are having a time over the
coming celebration of the birthday of
Washington. On last Thursday evening the
freshmen captured the president of the
sophomore class, Andrew Thornley,, and his
whereabouts was not known until late last
night, when he arrived in town, having es-
capped from his captors. The night Of his
disappe arance he was placed in a buggy
blindfolded and tied, and taken to a farm
house in the woods near the Shades Of
Death. twenty miles from here. Two fresh
men stayed with him as guard, and
Thornley, was handcuffed and fastened to
block in the floor. When he was taken
out to eat his feet were chained together
and his guards were very careful of his
movements.
on the watch to guard against surprises
from the other side. The sophomores were
hunting for their lost man and the fresh
men kept the president of their class, Hugh
Smaltz, hidden to keep him from being
spirited away. Yesterday a telegram was
received from Fort Wayne wanting Smaltz
to come home at once on account of the
sickness of his mother. AS soon as II was
found that the telegram was genuine
Smaltz was accompanied to the train by
the police and sent home to his sick
mother. By this time the freshmen were
feeling that things were coming their way,
and they got out a "bogi'' on the sopho-
mores about their lost president and were
going to distribute them last night, but the
escape of the sophomore president unset
the programme.
Last evening about o'clock during the
absence OF the freshmen guards from the
room Thornell pulled the staple from the
block in the floor. jumped out of the win
dow and escaped. The sophomores held a
jubilation when he arrived in town,

"DOC" AMES ARRESTED
FORMER MAYOR OF MINNEAPOLIS is
TAKEN AT HANCOCK, N. III.
Sherin of Hennepin County Is En-
emptory Order of the Court.

HANCOCK, N. H., Feb. 15.-Broken in
spirit, physical wreck, and changed be-
yond recognition, DR.. Albert Alonzo Ames,
formerly mayor of Minneapolis. who is
wanted in that city on an indictment for
attempted bribery, was discovered to-day
in the home of a local minister. and placed
under arrest by Sheriff Doane, of Manches-
ter. So pitiful was his condition that he
was not locked up, but left in charge of a
deputy to await the arrival of officers from
Minneapolis. After his arrest however,
Ames communicated with former United
States District Attorney Charles ]. Ham,
blett, of Nashua, and obtained his services
against extradition.
DR.. Ames has been here for several
weeks. although his presence was not
known outside of the home of the Rev. C.
H. Chaplin, who received and sheltered him.
Mrs. Chaplin is a sister of the woman who
accompanied DR.. Ames and who is sup
posed to be his wife. The knowledge of
this relationship probably led to his detec-
ton.
Sheriff Doane received communication
from Chief of Police j. w. Creger, of Min
neapolis, asking him to go to Hancock and
see If Ames had sought refuge at the home
of his sister-in-law. The sheriff came here
and, after investigation. placed Ames un-
der arrest.
DR.. Ames is wanted to answer to an in
dictment for attempted bribery, and also
for defaulting his $4,000 bail given at the
time of his Indictment
The prisoner is reported to have declared
this afternoon that were he a well man he
would return to his home and face the
charges, but that under the circumstances
he will make fight. Attorney Hamblett
has not yet seen his client, but will come
here tomorrow. Mr.. Hamblett was in
formed to-day that DR.. Ames was on the
verge of collapse.
AS soon as the Minneapolis officers reach
here, and they are expected on Tuesday,
the matter of DIR. Amess extradition will
be taken up before the Governor and Coun-
Gil. Developments tonight indicate that
DIR. Ames still has many friends and abund-
ant financial resources, and that every
move to bring him to trial in Minneapolis
will be bitterly contested.
