FATHER WALSER
is REFUSED BAIL.
Accused Priest strenuOusly Denies
That He Is Guilty.

Accused Priest strenuOusIy Denies
That He Is Guilty.
Elyria, O., May 2.-Rev. Ferdinand
Walser has been locked up in the
county Jail here. He offered bail in
any sum that might be desired, but
the officers refused to consider the
offer. He declared that he was very
tired, and was calmly sleeping within
half an hour after, being placed in a
cell. Before being locked up the &C
cused prisoner repeatedly declared his
innocence.
oh, my God" he cried, what a
position to be in. 1 came to Lorain
to have a quiet visit, and. this had to
happen. l am as innocent as a baby
l have nothing to offer in defense
They will have TO prove ne guilty."
AS yet the priest has not secured
legal advice.
Father Walser, when seen By a re-
porter in his cell tonight and asked
Tor statement, said:
AN 1 have to say is that am not
guilty of any crime. 1 am innocent
and say that with a clear conscience
Il am entirely blameless of any
crime. This is an outrageous pro-
ceeding and a disgrace. 1t is dis
grace to the city and to the county.
am as innocent of this crime as baby
in its cradle. First, they heard me tell
my story, and 1 told it over and over
again TO them. Why did they not ar
rest Cashier Reichlin, who was also in
the house? If I had been guilty of
such a crime would have flown from
This place and gone to some place OF
hiding.
IF a man is guilty of such a crime
1t can be seen in the eye and on the
lace. A conscience tells its story on
the face. My conscience is perfectly
clear and the end of this will show
that 1 am entirely innocent. All will
come out right in the end. There is a
feeling against me, 1 believe, because
am priest. There is always such a
feeling. This is awful to be placed in
position of this kind.
The c. P. P. S., with headquarters
at Carthagena, of which am a mem
Der, will go my bond for $4,000 il
necessary.
Yes, 1 have been arrested before-it
was in Clinton, Mo-, during the A. P
A. war Another priest and I had
adopted boy, and the A. P. A. had
us arrested on the charge Of cruelty
and kidnapping the boy. We were dis
charged, and the plaintiffs were Sc
Verely lectured and had to pay the
costs. This case will turn out the
same way"
1T is stated that on the night of the
murder Casimer Reichlin went out and
got a jug of liquor at 1 o'clock in the
morning. Is that true?"

lOnfca Dynamitfng.
Constantinople, May 2.-The acting
German consul at Salonica had a mar
row escape at the time of the dyna-
mite outrage which destroyed the Of
toman Bank there. He was at an ad-
joining club, which was wrecked by the
explosion of the bombs. The consul
extricated himself from the debris and
was only slightly injured.
The German charge d'affaires here
has made vigorous representations to
the Porte on the subject, and is also
holding the government responsible for
the damage done to the German school
at Salonica.
The consuls at Salonica report that
fifty persons were killed or wounded
on both sides. as a result of the bomb
throwing. including three Germans and
four Italians wounded, and one Swiss
killed.
Turkish official circles are inclined to
advocate inflicting sharp lesson on
Bulgaria, which is considered to be re-
sponsible for the outrage, but they fear
the Powers would not permit it.
There have been no disturbances at
Salonica since April 30.

That Was the Proposition Made to
the City of Columbus.
Columbus, Ga, May 2.-The officials
of the Brunswick and Birmingham
Railroad were shown over Columbus
to-day and were given a reception at
the Hotel Rankin, at which they met
a large number of the business men of
the city.
Asked to make a proposition to the
city regarding bringing the road by
Columbus, they made no direct propo-
sition. but stated in their opinion that
the city could secure the road by I'M
derwriting 100000 of the company's
bonds. The city was given three days
in which to make an answer, or thirty
days in case a cash bonus of $4,000 was
put up, to be forfeited in case no bonds
were UNDERWATER.
The city considered this time too
short, and so no agreement was en-
tered into. The city and the railroad
may get together later, however.

hundred pounds on yellow pine lumber,
acting in concert with all Southern
railroads penetrating the yellow pine
region, both east and west of the Mis-
sissippi river"

SALVADOR REFUSES
To Fay an Award That Was Made by
Arbitration.

Washington, May 2.-The State De-

Merry that the Salvadorean Congress
has refused to- pay the award of the
arbitration in the case of Ell Triunfo,
an American corporation which secur-
ed a judgment of more athan 100000
against Salvador on account Of the vi
tiation of it's franchise. Moreover, Mr..
Merry adds, the Congress has adjourn
ed.
The incident is likely to prove an
noying to the State Department, which
dislikes extremely to be placed in the
attitude of coercing so tiny a state as
Salvador, while feeling bound by larg-
er interests to uphold the principle of
arbitration and defend the award of
the body which sat in Washington I'M
