INGERSOLL'S BIG FEE.
Widow Seeks to Establish At.
torney's Lien for $95, 600.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. Am inter-
esting case in the United States cir
cult court today was that Of the bill
of Mrs. Eva Ingersoll, of Dobb's Fer
ry, N. Y, widow of Col. Robert G. In
gersoll, to establish an attorneys lien
for $4,000 for services performed by
Ingersoll as counsel for the contest
ants in the celebrated contest Of the
will of Andrew j. Davis, the Montana
copper king. The hearing was on the
motion of the plaintiff that ]. H. Lay
son, the special administrator of the
Davis estate, be restrained from pay
ing over the shares Of the persons who
were parties to the alleged contract by
which Ingersoll was employed, and
also upon demurrers which defendants
have filed to the BILL The defendants
are Henry A. Root and Joseph A. CO.
ram, two contesting heirs They claim
that the court here has no jurisdiction
in the case on the ground that 1t Is at
tempted to stay the probate proceed
ings in Montana, and because Inger-
soils contract was conditional upon his
defeat of the Davis will and the ac-
quirement by the contestants Of their
share in the estate. Neither of these
conditions, they claim, were fulfilled.
Decision in the case was reserved by
Judge Putnam.

lots of the individual members,
The company declares that it pays

DEFICIT is HERE
One.third of Fiscal YearReveaIs
a Full Pledged One.
Globe Special Washington Service,
jd17 = Q&raa$


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 4.-For
the first time since 1897, except in July,
there was deficit for the fiscal year in
the United States treasury today.
Nearly every year there Is a July def
cit, because July is the first month Of
the fiscal year, when many appropria-
tions of congress become available.
Even in no single month, except July,
has there been a treasury deficit since
April, 1898, when large disbursements
were suddenly called for to meet ex-
penses in the war with Spain.
Today's deficit is not only for Octo-
Der and the first four days Of Novem-
ber, but for one-third of the fiscal year
which began July l. Although the
deficit is small, amounting to only
$232, ATT, it Is likely to grow larger, fol
the expenditures of government are
heavier than usual and there had been
a big slump in customs receipts.
The eRpublican campaign orators
have frequently boasted that treasury
deficits are characteristic only of Dem
ocratic administrations. Secretary
Shaw Is naturally not pleased with the
situation, but he will not discuss 1t, ex-
cept to say that there must be no tariff
revision that would reduce the reye-
nues. Walter e. Clark.

Colombian Gunboat Shells Panama, but Withdraws.i
Having Done No AppreciabIe Damage-American-
Jackes From the Nashville Land and Prevent Serious
IroubIe-Government Will Have Smooth Sailing.

COLON, Colombia, Nov. 4-Without
the firing Of shot and amid scenes of
great enthusiasm the independence of
the 1sthmus and the department of
Panama was declared last evening.
The city of Panama is now in the
hands of revolutionists and no serious
attempt has been made to recapture it..
The Colombian gunboat Bogota arriv-
ed in the harbor after the declaration
of independence and threw a few shells
into the city without doing damage to
life or property. Perfect order prevails
in Colon tonight and transisthmian
trains are running as usual without in
terruption. In Panama the flag Of the
new republic, in colors of red, white and
blue, floats over the government build
ings.
The movement for independence has
been in progress since the rejection by
the congress. at Bogota of the Hay
Herran canal treaty, but it's sudden
ripening last night was due to the news
of the unexpected arrival at Colon of
the Colombian gunboat Cartagena,
with Gems. Tovar and Amaya and a
number of troops. The movement has
been promoted by prominent and
wealthy isthmians and Gov. Obaldia, of
the department of Panama, who arriv-
ed at Panama Tuesday. On computing
the troops and citizens in favor of in
dependence they found that they num-
bered at least 1900. The advocates of
independence both at Panama and at
Colon are now jubilant.
Americans Prevent Trouble.
The presence Of the United States
gunboat Nashville at Colon Is believed
to have resulted in the avoidance of
serious trouble. AS the result of con-
ference here Col Torres, commanding
the troops at Colon, has sent on a spe-
cial train to Panama a representative
to confer with Gen. Tovar, whose un-
conditional release is demanded

TINY GIRL A THIEF
According to Accusers, This Is
the Youngest ShopIifter.

CHICAGO, Nov. Alive years old
and in court for shoplifting.
This Is the record case of little Elsie
Bosten, who is said by the police to be
the youngest shoplifter in the world.
Walking under the voluminous skirts
of her foster mother, Mrs. Mary Bos-
ten, it is said that whenever the latter
or Mrs. Kate Doering, 72 Cleveland
avenue, an aunt, pushed an article
from a counter to the floor a tiny hand
stretched forth from underneath the
skirt and transferred the bit of fnery
to bag hanging inside.
elsie Bosten," called the clerk in
Justice Caverly's court yesterday.
elsie Bosten," he repeated. Where
is she?"
Here am" said a meek little voice
from somewhere in front Of Justice
Caverly's desk.
"Where?" asked Justice Caverly,
leaning over his desk.
Here" repeated the wee small voice
and then Elsie was held up above the
crowd in the arms of a bailiff. She
made a pathetic picture in the court
room with her slight figure clothed in
red and with a red hat surmounted her
tangled golden curls, upon which the
sun shone through the dusty windows.
The big brown eyes stared straight into
those of the justice.
Goodness me-" he calculated, what
am up against?"
Then Miss Sevrins, witness from a
downtown department store, went on
the stand and testified that the child
was the daughter of a famous shop
litter who died two years ago. The
statement was corroborated by Mrs.
Doering, who was arrested in COM
pany with Mrs. Bosten. She told the
police that the childs mother was SO
successful that she was never caught.
Elsie, she declared, was her pupil.
I'll never steal again." declared the
little one. II know that mamma won't
do it, either. We have never stolen
things before"
Mrs. Bosten's actions were very Pc
culiar," said the witness from the de-
partment store. "Owing to her large
proportions she was able to conceal the
child under her skirt. We noticed that
she allowed things to drop on the floor
and did not pick them up. We followed
her through several stores until we
saw the hand stretch out from under
the skirt. 1t picked up and placed in
bag the things that her mother and the
other woman dropped on the floor"

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
FELT IN THE SOUTH
High Buildings of st. Louis
Rock Violently and Frighten
Tenants.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 4.-This city
and vicinity experienced a decided
earthquake shock or series of shocks
at 1918 o'clock this afternoon. There
is difference of opinion as to how
many. The earthquake was perceptible
all over the city and was mostly felt
in the high business blocks in the
downtown sections Of the city. One
occupant Of high building said his
chandelier swung three inches. The
movement was from east to west.
Some Of those In the high buildings
hurried to the ground before their win
dows ceased to rattle. At the store OF
r. H. Harris, where the shock was
plainly felt, several persons became
frightened and rushed out into the
street. Immediately after the shock
the weather bureau was besieged by
inquiries by telephone from all parts
Of the city for information about the
earthquake.
A long distance telephone message
from Louisiana, Mo-, about 100 miles
north of st. Louis, says:
can Earthquake shock was expert
enced here at 1918 o'clock this after
noon. Reports from Clarksville, sixteen
miles south; Bowling Green, twelve
miles west, and other places in Pike
county, say it was plainly felt there
also. No damage resulted here from
the shock"
CAIRO, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-Two distinct
earthquake shocks were felt here today.
The first occurred at 1874 and the
second at 1:13 p. m. The first shock
was the longest, but the second was
the most severe. 1t was felt all over
the city and many persons rushed out
of their homes, frightened. The taller
buildings down town were quickly de-
populated. The vibration was from
east to west and was preceded by a pc
culiar sound like an explosion,
Shocks were also felt in Kentucky
and Tennessee.

on Steep Waduct.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 4.-One
person was killed and ffty-one others

in the collision Of two cable cars in
fog early today on the steep Twelfth
street viaduct.
Most of the injured were shop girls,
on their way from home in Kansas
City, Kan, to the department stores on
the Missouri side. The dead girl, Nell
lie Luscombe, aged twenty. a clerk,
was instantly killed. She was found
buried under the debris of the wrecked
trains. A small piece Of steel, the size
Of lead pencil, had been driven into
the girls skull between the eyes, and
the left side of her head was crushed.
She was so badly disfgured that 1T was
several hours before she was identified.
Of the injured, Carrie Mooney, also
dry goods clery, who had both
legs broken, and Herman Watkins,
clerk in the Methodist Book Concern,
whose jaw was broken and who was
otherwise hurt, will die, it is believed.

seriously hurt, five of them sustaining
broken bones. The other thirty -four
injured sustained only minor cuts and
bruises.

Massive Shell Houses Are Blown to Pieces.

explosives on the island could be OBJ
tanned from Gunner Fries, U. S. N, in
command, but it is said that large
consignment of shells from the Ala
bama Kearsarge, Massachusetts, and
Illinois were in the buildings destroyed.
About 480 thirteen-inch shells were
on hand, it is said. A large amount OF
fixed ammunition stored in the two
buildings from which the roofs were
blown did not explode. and the two
main powder magazines were at the
other end of the island, out of danger.
Investigation Will Be Ordered.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "A
brief dispatch regarding the disaster
on Iona island, by which number of
men lost their lives, was received by
Acting Secretary Darling tonight. 1T
came from Capt. Perry, the acting COM
who simply repeated the following tel
egram received by him late this after
noon from the island:
Little before 1 o'clock, Shell House
No. exploded. Fire continued until 3
o'clock, during which time No. shell
house exploded. Fire under control
now Seven or eight killed. wounded
not known yet. Surgeons from Haver-
straw now assisting.
-"Otto Fries, Gunner.
Capt Perry announced that tug
from the yard had gone to the island
to render assistance.
A board of investigation or court of
inquiry will be appointed to determine
the cause of the accident.
On hearing of the disaster Rear Ad-
miral O'Neil, chief of the ordnance bu-
reau, at once communicated with the
New York navy yard, and response was
received to the effect that the men were
engaged in unloading three or four
hundred thirteen-inch shells, which
were to be sent to the factory for
rebanding with copper. 1t is assumed
here that in extracting the fuse one of
these shells blew up. The ordnance bu-
reau, according to Admiral O'Neil, has
exercised every known precaution to
prevent such an accident as this. The
explosion at Lafayette last June was
caused by a careless workman forcing
the fuse of six pound shell, and the
ordnance bureau thereupon issued an
elaborate set Of instructions to naval
officers employed at the magazines, di-
recting them to use the; greatest eau
ton in such work, and. to have any
shell set aside where the fuse stuck.

Emperor William drove up wearing a
Russian uniform and moved to the
front of the Paderborn regiment guard

with Chancellor Won Buelow while
promenading the station. The last to
arrive was Count Won Osten- Sacken,
the Russian ambassador at Berlin.
At the chateau signal was given

containing the czar a stair was placed
and the Russian ruler descended to an
improvised tent, where the emperor
and his suite were in waiting The cZar
and emperor kissed each other affec-
tionately three times. The czar then
gave his hand to Count Won BueIow
and the kaiser did the same to Count

way to the castle was lined by numer-
Gus regiments, whose bands played the
Russian national hymn, The emperor
and the czar were in one carriage, while
