MASKED ROBBER AT AMES.
He Holds Up a Restaurant and Gets
Only $10-Makes a Success
full Escape.

Ames, Jan. 16.-At 4 o'clock this
morning a masked robber entered Rolls
restaurant in this city and with drawn
revolver demanded of Hal Roll, who
was in charge, the sack of money con-
tanning the days receipts. Roll, who
had the money upon his person-nearly
500 in all-declared that the day man
had taken the money home with him,
and that all the cash on hand was what
was in the till, about SO. This the
robber proceeded to appropriate: also
taking with him a valuable ~3S-caliber
revolver which was lying beside the
cash drawer.
The robber forced Roll to open the
till and count over the money to him.
The robber was comically masked with
a hideous false face, and there is no
clew to his identity. He escaped, and,
although the alarm was Immediately
raised, the officers have not effected a
capture.

Teller Lacks Bur One Vote.

Denver, Jan. 21.-Both houses of the
general assembly balloted for senator
at noon today, and Henry NJ. Teller re-
ceived so votes, one less than needed
to elect. Senator Mcclure, Democrat,
refrained from voting, but he has fire.
quently said he would vote for Teller
II 1t should appear that he could be
elected. Only w Republicans were in
the senate chamber when the vote was
taken, and then they did not respond
when their names were called. Soon
afterward the nine regular Republican
senator's, two of whom we're expelled
by the Democrats, and the eight con-
testants who had beer sworn in on the
steps of the capital last night. assem-
bled in the lieutenant governors room
and formed a separate organization.
Subsequently the two regularly elected
Republican senators returned to the
senate chamber, where they announced
they would act with the regular SEN
ate" under the constitution. Lieut.. Gov.
Haggott is presiding officer of the joint
session which will meet tomorrow to
vote for senator. He will insist that
the body over which he presided today
was the regular senate and that its vote
for senator has been accepted. The
speaker of the house will then be called
upon to decide which s>nate shall be
recognized as the regular one.
If the Democratic senate is recog-
nized and the house remains with its
present membership, as seems likely,
Senator Teller will be reelected. On
the contrary, if the Republican senate
is recognized, there will likely be no
election and ~balloting will continue in
definitely.
Edward o. Walcott, the leading Re-
publican candidate for senator. and his
followers are urging the governor to
call out the militia to place Lieut.. Gov.
Haggott and the Republicans in possess
sion of the chamber. The governor said
today that he would not interfere with
the Republican leaders in the house,
and today he refused to carry out the
Walcott program and unseat the eleven
Arapahoe Democrats. The senate re-
mains in continuous session, but will
not remove more Republicans pending
further aggression by the house.

A VERY QUEER JURY VERDICT
An Ontario Jury Says a Man is Not
Guilty of Murder Who Confesses
That He Killed q Man.

London, Ont, Jan. 16.-Walter Her.
bert who by his own confession. is a
murderer, was today formally acquitted
of the charge of murder by a jury and
discharged by Chief Justice Meredith at
the fall a~ssizes. Herbert confessed that
he and Gerald Sifton killed Joseph Sif-
ton, Gerald's father, in 1900. Gerald
was tried twice and acquitted at the
second trial. After his acquittal there
was nothing for the court to do but to
discharge Herbert who was then in Jail

the first time in the history of Canada

be untrue, r%emarking that his object
in bringing the matter to the attention
OF the senate was in order hat his de-
NAL might go into the Congressional
Record as an answer to those who
made the charge. Mr.. Fairbanks Gnd.)
gave notice that he would call up the
immigration bill Monday. The senate
then adjourned until Monday.
The senate on Monday. Jan. 10, de-
voted two brief executive sessions to
the Cuban reciprocity treaty. Sena-
tor Cullom made a statement of it's
purport and effect. Senator Gull
Ions statement was exhaustive. He
produced a mass of figures to show the
extent of commerce between the United
States and Cuba and gave reasons for
the belief that the ratification of the
treaty would cause a rapid increase in
the trade between the two countries.
He said that on the basis of commerce
of the 1901 ratification of the treaty
it would cause a reduction of about
$4,000, 900 on the duty paid on Cuban
imports and a corresponding reduction
of about half that amount on American
articles shipped to Cuba. He contend
ed that the United States would secure
an advantage in continuing, as the
treaty does, the present free list. He
would continue this agreement because
there are about S3.0OO,0 900 worth of
American goods admitted into Cuba
free of duty, while only about 50, 000,-
00G worth of Cuban goods to the United
States free. 1t is important, he said,
that the free list be continued as at
present. Cullom said he did not believe
any American industry would be in
jured by a ratification of the treaty.
When Senator Cullom concluded Sena-
tor Bacon offered an amendment pro-
viding that this treaty shall not take
effect until the same shall have been
approved by congress-" The senate
adjourned with the understanding thar
the treaty would be taken VI Tuesday
during the morning hour.

Mr.. Jones New on Tuesday, Jan. 10,
f~avorably reported the resolution of
Mr.. Stewart New authorizing the
committee on the District of Columbia
20 send for witnesses in connection
with the coal investigation, TO admin
lister oaths, and to compel the attend
ance of witnesses, if necessary. 1t was
agreed to. The Vest resolution, direct
ing the finance committee to prepare
and report a bill removing the duty on
coal was then considered. Mr.. Dolliver
Qowa) attacked the senators responsi-
BILE for the holding up of the reciprocity
treaties in the senate. He defended
Secretary Shaw for instructing collect
ors of customs to resolve differences re-
sarding the grade of coal in favor of
the importer. The charge that Mr..
Dingley had put the tariff rates so high
that they could be traded down by rec
iprocity agreements was true, he de-
clared. This action of Mr.. Dingley, he
said, was perfectly right and proper.
Mr.. Aldrich Or. ID vehemently de-
rounced Mr.. Dolliver and others for
making the charge.
The resolution went over after Mr..
Tillman had given notice that he would
string a live WIRE" and lay the blame
for the present coal situation at the
door of the president and attorney gen.
eral. Mr.. Nelson concluded his remarks
on the omnibus statehood bill, and at
4:10 O'Clock the senate adjourned.
The senate on Wednesday, Jan. II,
unanimously passed the house bill pro-
viding for a rebate on coal. 1t was
passed without debate a few minutes
after it was brought over from the
house. The militia bill was also passed,
with an amendment striking out the
section providing for a reserve force of
trained men, thus removing the objec-
ton made against it. Mr.. Tillman oc-
cupled the attention Of the senate for
an hour and a half in a characteristic
speech in which ne u%enounceo trusts
and monopolies and severely criticised
the attorney general. The statehood
bill was up for a short time, during
