Must Explain p cuIiar Watch Deal and
Board Sill Incident.
Gives Name of A. C. Clark and Claims
10 Sell Agencies.
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
If all that is told about A. G. Clark
is true he must be a sleek individual. He
arrived in the city Saturday and stop.
ped at the Saulpaugh, being assigned to
room So. Yesterday he left on the noon
train for Lake Crystal, without paying
his bill. He claimed to represent the
Curtiss Publishing company, and to be
establishing agencies for the handling
of the circulation of The Ladies Home
Journal and the Saturday Evening Post.
1t would appear from information re-
ceived by Chief Donahue that Clark has
left trail of crooked work and debts
behind wherever he has gone. Sheriff Lins
of Winona asked Mr.. Donahue to appre-
bend and hold the man, as he was wanted
there and at Rochester for alleged crook
ed work
Clark had already gone when the chief
received the message, but learning his
destination, Mr.. Donahue drove to Lake
Crystal and at six o'clock took his man
into custody and brought him to Man
kato and gave him cell in the lookup
after which he notified the Winona
sheriff.
On the way to this city Clark said
several times that if he was only want
ed for what he had done in Winona he
did not care, leaving the impression that
he had done something worse elsewhere.
To a Free Press reporter this morning
he said that he did not know what
charge would be made against him, but it
might be that it would be something
that would be interesting reading, he
said. He would have to wait until the
sheriff came to find out.
Sheriff Lins arrived in the city at noon
and left for Winona at l p. m. with
Clark. He said that the young man
is wanted at Winona for obtaining pos
session of watch by Misrepresentation
and then pawning it. There were also
two or three other charges pending
against him there, including the jumping
of a board bill. He was wanted at
Rochester for obtaining money from a
party by representing that he was selling
agencies to handle the publications that
he claimed to represent. The sheriff
thought that he is party who is want
ed by a publishing house for crooked
work, and that offers a reward of 500
for his Arrest.
Saturday young man named Walter
Shaw from Dodge Center came to the
city to meet Clark and arrange for tax
ing the agency for the publications in
this section. He first met Clark in Owa-
tonna last week, and paid him $40 for
the agency. He reported his troubles
to the police, and Clark was induced to
return 81 to Shaw, it being all that he
had except 81.
Clark is dapper appearing young
man, slightly over twenty years of age,
well dressed, and rather snowy in appear
ance. He told Shaw that the Williams
Publishing company of Milwaukee has
general charge of the work that he was
engaged in.

NEW MILEAGE PLAN DELAYED
interchangeable SYST m Will Go into
Effect December I.
rom Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
interchangeable mileage, as agreed up
on by the western lines, will not go into
effect until Dec. l. Several changes are
to be made that will delay the introduc-
ton of the new form of ticket, and the
exact bounds of the territory to which
the new forms will apply has not been
settled, although the lines have been
working for several weeks toward an
understanding and definite agreement.
In the meantime thorough revision of
short line rate tariffs is being made, and
the Western lines are putting everything
on a substantial basis. The revision
takes account of many minor changes in
mileage and the effect of the interchange
able system when made operative.

WILL NOT Be RETIRED
AS BRIGADIER GENERAL
Attorney General Reports Adversely
on Colonel Forney's Request.

In the matter OF the application of
Col. James Forney. United States Marine
Corps. for retirement with the rank OF
brigsdier general. the Attorney General
has submitted an adverse opinion to
Secretary Moody. Colonel Forney asked
for retirement under the provisions Of
section II Of the act OF March 3. 1899
which provides that any officer OF the
navy with a creditable record who serv-
ed during the civil war shall. when re-
tired. be retired with the rank and three
fourths OF the sea pay OF the next high
er grade.
Colonel FOrney has been in the service
since 1861. and has made a creditable
record. The Attorney General holds.
however, that the provisions OF the act
apply expressly TO officers OF the navy,
and not 10 officers OF the Marine Corps
Hence Colonel Forney will not receive
the higher rank and pay.

REPORT OF REVERSE
DENIED IN LONDON
General Manning Says "Mad Null
lab" Is in Flight.

LONDON. June PA dispatch from
Jibutile. Somaliland. received in Paris
this morning Announces a serious Brit
ish reverse IN West Africa. between
the towns OF Burao and Bohotle. The
war office here cannot confirm the dis
patch.
dispatch was received at the war
office from General Manning. who is In
comand of the Somaliland forces. but
no mention was made OF any reverse.
On the other hand. Manning reports
that the Mad Mullah has retired. The
dispatch. which IS dated Bohotle. June
26. reads:
The ObSia force reached here today
unopposed. The Mad Mullah, with his
way between Damot and Bohotle. lie
did this because Of our hold on the town
Of Mudug and also because Of Abyssin-
ian pressure from the south The gar
risons OF Damot and Bohotle were
threatened by a number OF horsemen,
who. however. made no attempt at a
serious attack.
IF it had been possible TO send n
sufficient force from Bohotle and Null
lah's flight would have become a route.
The prisoners taken say that the tribes
men are disorganized."
The war Office regards this as a denial
OF the Paris dispatch.

COUNT CASSINI FEARS
B'NAI BIRTH PETITION
ApprehendS Recall if Document Is
Presented.

The Presidents determination TO pre-
sent TO the Car the petition OF the
B'nai Birth in regard to the Kishinev
horrors is said 10 have provoked Count
Cassini. the Russian ambassador, to ut
terances which indicate in private that
the outcome Of the incident may be
more serious than has been anticipated.
A man who had an interview with
Count Cassini yesterday is authority for
the statement that the ambassador is
intensely wrought up about the turn
affairs have taken. and he apprehends
that his government may resent the
attitude OF this Government to the ex-
tent OF terminating diplomatic relations
for a time at least.
The seriousness Of the situation begins
with the intimation given by the am
bassador ten days ego that his govern
ment would not entertain any interfer-
ence by this country IN the internal af-
fairs of Russia. and that any communica-
tion in regard to the Jewish question in
Russia would be construed as out of
place.
There Is doubt II any opportunity will
be given the American minister to pre-
sent the petition TO the Czar, and the
ceremony OF handing il 10 the foreign
minister may be avoided in diplomatic
manner This Is believed to have been
the way out OF the difficulty on a former
occasion.
But whatever fate befalls the petition
II is quite clear that Count Cassini has
in mind the ultimate unpleasantness OF
a recall Whether it may be construed
that he fears this as a consequence OF
his inability to prevent the President
from taking up the cause OF the B'naI
Birth or because the Gar will be
angered beyond all patience with the
American President does not appear.
