JUMPED FROM MOVING TRAIN,
Douglass Stone Leaped From Wabash
Coach Was Followed and
Caught by a Deputy.

Douglass Stone, twenty years old. a
bridge worker, while being brought to
this city to be placed in jail to await
triai on a charge Of illegally con
verting property, jumped from a
wabash passenger train this side OF
Benton City Monday morning in an
EFFORT to escape. Henry Wilson, a
farmer, who had been deputized to
bring the young man to jail, also
ieaped from the train, and after shoot
ing at the fugitive two OF three times
captured him. The deputy and bis
prisoner walked back to Benton City
and secured a team TO bring them to
Mexico, arriving here shortly after
noon.
Stone was arrested In Martinsburg
Sunday upon complaint Of Mrs. r. s.
Orear, Of this city. He is alleged to
have found a watch lost by Mrs. Orear
at the depot in this city, and it is
claimed that he converted the watch
to the custody Of somebody else in an
attempt to secure a reward. He is
said to have inquired in Mexico as to
the owner Of the watch, and that he
tried to find out how much Of a reward
could be gotten for its return. Hear
ing that Mrs. Orear wal visiting rela-
tives in M~artinsburg he went to that
place and hunted her up, giving her a
note which he claimed was from his
pal, I" In which the amount of the re-
ward was asked. Mrs. Orear became
suspicious and caused the arrest of the
young man, thinking that he had the
watch himself. Stone pleaded not
guilty before Squire Dix, and the
regular constable being absent from
M~artinsburg the justice of the peace
deputized Henry Wilson to bring
Stone to this city to be placed in Jail.
Just as the train pulled out of Ben
ton City Stone asked the officer to al
low him to get a drink of water. Mr..
Wilson vas suspicious Of his prisoner
and followed him to the water tank.
With a sudden leap Stone gained the
car platform and leaped off while the
train was travelling about twenty
miles an hour. The deputy, without
hesitancy, followed, and after firing
two or three shots at the fugitive,
captured him. Both were thrown to
the ground when they jumped, Mr..
Wilson haning both arms considerably
skinned up.
Stone will be given a hearing in
Martinsburg Saturday.

UNCOVER OLD AMPHITHEATER
Nance Reveal n Relic Of the
Roman Occupation OF
Paris.

Copyright, 1908, by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS, May s0-(New York World Gable.
gram-Special Telegram)-In the very
heart of Paris. shut In by iron ratings and
hidden from the street by a little hill,
grass covered and adorned with trees, lies
a most interesting relic Of the days long
since gone by, when this beautiful city
was under the rule of the Roman invader.
The spot is known to those who know It at
all as the Pare rArene and the Roman
arena which nestles quietly in its center
was discovered by accident after a sleep
OF many centuries. The Worlds corre-
spondent has never seen 1t mentioned in
any guide book.
There was urgent need of a new water
supply In the locality on the left bank OF
the Seine not far from the Jardin des
Plantes. TO provide a reservoir the au-
thorities began to excavate I'm a little park
at the corner Of Rue Navarro and Rue
Monge, only frequented by children and
their nurses. After the digging had been
going on a while the workmen came upon
a structure belonging to another age. Pro-
ceeding carefully, little by little, they laid
bare a Roman arena. Whether the work
was done by Roman slaves or conquered
Gauls under the lash of a Roman task
master is a matter of conjecture.
The entrance to the arena il from Rue
Navarro. To the right and left are the
boxes reserved for the mobiles, and one
larger and better situated than the rest
may have been for the emperor, ON
either side of the entrance are cages built
under the seats. Looking into them, the
visitor can fancy that one mad been a cell
for Christians n captives, while from
the other came the cries and snarls Of
hungry beasts that we're to devour them

authorities have decided to buy the prop

LIBERAL LEADER is SILENT
Reserves Comment on Chamberlain,
but others Are More Out
spoken.

LONDON, May 5O.-Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, the liberal leader In the House
of Commons, is apparently reserving public
expression Of his views i'm the Chamberlain
imperial reciprocity scheme until the re-
assemblage of Parliament when the finance
bill will come up. In the meantime Sir
Henry's first lieutenant. Herbert Gladstone.
the chief liberal whip, in an open letter
to his constituents warns the liberal that
no time must be lost in putting their house
in order. "The government Is hopelessly
dlscr edited writes Mr.. Gladstone, land IL
is impossible 20 assume that a general cleo
ton will be long delayed"
The impression, however, Is not supported
in unionist circles, where It is said that
the government has no intention OF pre-
cipitating n dissolution of Parliament until
the whole subject of preferential trade is
thoroughly threshed out.
Lord BrasseY, liberal. who has had con-
siderable colonial experience, raises the
question rs TO whence comes the demand
for a preferential policy Inc concludes:
THE only demand comes from Canada.
where, in spite OF the preference given TO
Great Britain, the tariffs remain almost
prohibitive."
Continuing a general condemnation OF the
preferential project, Lord Brassey SAYS:
Future extensions of British trade lie
mainly in the tropics. where an enormous
population creates an illimitable market.
In order to hold that market Great Britain
must be able to manufacture cheaply. II
is therefore absolutely essential tina raw
materials be not taxed"
1t is understood that Mr.. Chamberlain
has expressed the hope that hts proposals
will be freely discussed and that the att.
tude of the colonies will be made clear at
the congress OF the Chambers OF Com
merce of the empire to be held at Montreal
