MANIAC CLIMBS
STATUE ON DOME
Eludes His Guards By Sitting on
Figure $50 Feet in Air.
HUNDREDS SEE PERFORMANCE
Sister of the Crazed Man Finally
Persundes Him to Come Down
and He IL Then Re-
captured.

Liberty, Mo-, July 23.-Alonzo Hag-
gard, an insane man, escaped from his
guards in the court house here Friday
morning at 1880 o'clock. and climbed
upon the high dome of the building.
Haggard is subject to epileptic fits,
they coming upon him frequently.
Five men were required to control
him when he was taken In charge
Friday. He seemed quiet Friday
morning when taken to the sheriff's
Office in the second story of the court
house. While the guards were at the
door he made a dash up a stairway
leading to the attic. From there he
escaped through al opening to the
roof. When the guards reached the
roof they saw the crazed man rapidly
climbing the. dome on a skeleton lad
der used by painters.
On reaching the narrow level space
at the bottom of the dome, he ran
around it until he saw another iron
ladder used by painters.
He was then at the base of the God
dess of Liberty, and pulled himself up
the figure, part of the way by the
lightning rod. He swung around the
high figure in a most dangerous way,
$50 feet from the ground.
Sheriff Wymore climbed up near
him, and tried to. induce him to come
down, but he merely stared at him.
He lay down on a fiat space Is inches
wide as if going to sleep. From there
down to the roof of the court house is
a distance of 40 feet.
A struggle with him here would
probably have meant the death of the
unfortunate man and those who should
try to capture him. Therefore he was
left alone, great crowds in the mean
while watching him from the streets.
About two O'Clock Friday afternoon
he climbed the Goddess of Liberty,
where he seated himself on her shout
der. The statue is Is feet high, and as
he chung to the lightning rod people
on the streets turned their faces away,
expecting every minute to see the rod
give away. He got all right, how
ever, and amused himself by playing
with the weather vane on the rod. La
ter he descended and sat in his old
place on the coping.
Haggard vas recaptured at $40
o'clock in the afternoon by Sheriff
Wymore. He was induced to come
down by his sister, who was sent from
the attic by a trap door in the roof.
She pacified him, but he kept close to
the foot of the ladder leading up the
dome, ready to run up if anyone else
appeared. While his sister held his
attention, the sheriff went out on the
roof from the opposite side of the
dome, and slipped up behind him be-
fore he could run back up the ladder.
The bees in the statue stung Hag-
gard several times. He was sent to
the asylum at ST. Joseph.

MAX COHEN. AER0NAUT, DEAD
He Had e to Compete for the
Big Prize at the Worlds Fair
This Sum IN Ter.

St. Louis, July 23.-Away from
home and friends, a stranger. in a
strange city, when success and for
tune seemed about to smile on him
when, as he thought, he had put aside
fatigue, failure and disappointment
forever and was just ready to stand
forth in the limelight of fame and
success-Max Cohen, aeronaut, scien-

test, died at the Baptist s%anitarium
after an illness of only a few weeks.
Cohen came to st. Louis a few

MAY AGREE TO ARBITRATE
Manufacturers Will Consider De.
mands of Textile Workers
Employees Say They VIII Strike,
Rather Than Accept n IL IL
Per Cent. Reduction.

Fall River, Mass, July 23.-Through
the good Offices and prompt action OF
the state board of Cancellation anj ar
bitration, there seems to be a ray OF
hope for an amicable settlement OF
the controversy between the cotton
mill manufacturers and their en-
ployes, who, on Wednesday night, vot-
ed to go on strike next Monday
morning, rather than submit to a 12R
per cent. reduction IN wages. Such a
strike would involve more than 10000
operatives.
The secretaries of the five unions
and representatives of the manufac-
bitration board Friday afternoon. Rep
resentatives of the operatives said
they want abandonment of the pro-
posed wage reduction. The mill Off
Gals stated concisely why the reduc-
ton was necessary from a financial
point of view.
The arbitration board then con-
ferred separately with each commit
tee, and later the two bodies met in
joint conference again, and threshed
out the whole matter.
This last continued well into the
evening. At its conclusion, President
Rowland of the arbitration board said
that the demands of the textile work
ers would be considered by all the
manufacturers at a meeting to be held
at 1890 o'clock Saturday morning.

Chicago, July 23.-BlaZing f%ierce1y
from wheels to roof, a runaway motor
car on the Metropolitan electric ele-
waited railway Friday whizzed by hun
dreds of waiting passengers, and led a
fire engine a chase of more than q
mile, and was not stopped until it had
reached the crowded loop in the down
town regions used by the four elevated
roads of Chicago. The car was brought
to a stop by the temporary shutting
off of the power at the supply station.
the engineer of the power house hav-
ing been advised that a runaway cal
was speeding down town.
When the car was first found to be
on fire it was detached, and was run
past the Aberdeen street station, Sc
that neither the rest of the train MOI
the station might catch fire. The car
was left alone and a fire engine was
called.
For some reason, just as the firemen
were making ready for the blaze, the
car suddenly started. With no one on
board, and leaving a trail of fire and
smoke behind it, the runaway began
the wild race down town. When the
car stopped at the loop entrance the
of the chase, came up and put out the
fire, but not before the car was q
charred wreck.
