is ENJOYING ROYAL SPORT
Secretary Loeb Says the President
is Looking for Grizzlies.
Camp Will be Moved, Saturday,
Twenty Miles Distant From
Present Location.

Glenwood Springs, Col, April 21.-
That President Roosevelt is enjoying
royal sport in his hunt for Rocky
mountain grizzlies is attested by Secre-
tary Loeb, who returned from the camp
late Thursday, after having spent the
night with the party. While the only
game pulle& down thus far is the bear
shot by the president and the bob-cat
shot by DR.. Alexander Lambert, there
has been plenty of recreation. Every
day the dogs have followed trails that
looked promising, showing that there
are more bears to be found in the vi
cinity now being hunted. Camp will
not be moved until Saturday. Then
the party will locate on West Divide
creek, within 20 miles of the present
location, and four miles nearer New
castle. The point toward which the
party is working is Red Store, where
camp will be broken on May IA. The
private car Rocket will pick up the
president there, and he will spend the
night at Glenwood Springs. The start
home will be made on May Is, with
stops of one day each at Denver and
Chicago.

DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE
An Important Witness in the AL.
legged Beef Trust Inquiry.
Mrs. Nary e. Marcy, of Kansas
City, Author and stenogrnpher,
Has Some Important Evidence.

Chicago, April 25.-The federal grand
jury which is investigating the BUSH
ness transactions of the beef industry
yesterday completed its examination,
for a time, into the operations of the
Aetna Trading Co., and the remain
ing witnesses subpoenaed to tell what
they know Of this concern were ex-
cused. To-day the jurors will take up
the testimony of witnesses who are
employed by the packers.
One Of the most important of these
witnesses will be Mrs. Mary E. Marcy,
author and s~tenographer, who was
~subpoenaed from Kansas City. She
will, it is said, produce documentary
evidence which she secured while gath
ering material to write stories con-
corning the packing industry. Mrs.
Marcy was in conference with Dis
trict Attorney Morrison and other
federal officers, and will be one of the
first witnesses called. Mrs. Marcy
was formerly employed as a
stenographer by one Of the packing
concerns in Kansas City.
District Attorney Morrison said that
the jury would continue its investiga-
ton of the beef industry until April
20, when the matter will be dropped
until May 2, in order to investigate
some other matters. After these cases
are cleared up the work of inquiry will
again be taken up and completed. No
indictments on the main issue will be
voted until after May 2, according to
Mr.. Morrison.

BARRETT TO BE RECALLED.
The Administration Dissatisfied
With the Course of Our Min
lister to Panama.

Washington, April 20.-United States
Minister Barrett, in Panama, will
shortly be recalled. Whether he will
be appointed to some new post or be
dropped is not known. 1t is under
stood, however, the administration is
much dissatisfied with his mismanage-
ment of affairs or the isthmus.
One reason for this is disclosed in
the installment of advance sheets of
Foreign Relation for 1904" which
shows that August % last, when the
relations between Panama and the
United States were in critical condi-
ton on account of the objection Of
Panama to the establishments of ports
and the opening Of post offices in the
canal zone, Barrett reported to the
state department that the minister of
that negotiations toward a settlement
be continued in Panama, and he sug-
Washington be advised IN that sense.
On the very day that Barrett sent
this communication to the state de-
partment he had received a note say
ing that it was deemed best to await
discussion of the main question in
Washington before continuing further
the discussion in Panama"

LOST IN BURNING CONVENT
Fourteen, and Perhaps More, of the
Inmates Persisted.
Nine Young Girls, Sister Ragetarf,
The Mistress, and Four Old
women the Victims.

Montreal, April 22.-Iu the burning
of the st. Anne convent in st. Gene
We've, neal Montreal, Is lives were lost,
so far as known, and it is feared that
the number may reach 20.
The sisters of the convent had a
number of aged women boarders and
four of these are among the dead.
Sister Ragetari, the mistress, lost her
life in an endeavor to save the chill
dren. OF the latter nine are known to
be dead.
Their ages we're from II to IS.
The village has no fire department
and an effort was made to get Mon
treal by telephone SO that assistance
could be obtained, but the effort failed
and the big building was soon a mass
Of smouldering ruins.
Scenes of frightful suffering followed,
as the night was cold and a fierce wind
was blowing. There were about 100
inmates, and as they were taken from
the building in their night clothes the
villagers threw open their homes and
took them in.
There were four aged women in the
infirmary who persisted. The Oldest was
9S. The others were SS, So and SO.

Eta Enforcement in the Larger Cities
is Only the Beginning of What
is to Come.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 25.-"The
Sunday closing law will be enforced in
every hamlet in this state. Henceforth,
unless a general assembly, repeats the
present laws, every Sabbath, as far
as liquor selling is concerned, will be
as dry as the desert of Sahara"
A prominent Office holder made this
declaration to a reporter in answer to
a suggestion that the present closing
Of saloons in the big cities was but
sporadic and would die out inside Of
a month.
In further conversation this Official
stated that the public did not thor
oughly understand the matter. Accord
ing to this official, Gov. Folk sent his
order to St. Louis Immediately after
closing down the dram shops of Kan
sas City. st. Joseph was made dry
Sunday, and forthwith every sheriff in
the state will get his orders to see that
the law is enforced and arrest all sa-
loonists who do not recognize the Sab
bath.
The law licensing saloons specially
sets forth that liquors may be sold
six days in the week, but not on Sun
day, so that in the strict n of
the law, saloon men who open on Sun
| days are virtually outlaws.

OvERSTAYED THE MARKET
The Collapse of the May Wheat Cor
ner and the Causes Lead
ing to 1t.

Chicago, April 25.-The losses in the
collapse of the MAY corner" in wheat
will be heavily augmented when the
5000, 900 or 5000, 900 bushels which it
it believed the pool still holds is put
on the market. This may drive the
price down lear the July figures, or
under 80 cents.
The Gates losses to date are various
ly estimated from 81, 900, 900 to $2,000,-
5000 and will in all probability reach
the latter figure before the corpse" is
buried. The big loss is not so hard a
blow to the Gates contingent as the
humiliation of having failed to make
good" and to have Numbered on to
inglorious defeat when a splendid vic
tory was at n time within grasp.
1t is generally agreed that the May
deal collapsed so disastrously because
the leaders o%verstayed the market.
They failed to sell out at the right
time some two months ago. Instead of
a possible profit of 100000 had the
deal been closed in February, it has
resulted now in a Waterloo for the
Napoleon of plungers.

JOE JEFFERSON is DEAD.
The WeIi-known Actor Responds to
the Last Call mt His Winter
Home in Florida.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April "a
Joseph jefferson. the eminent actor.
died at his home, r'The Reefs" at Palm
Beach, at 6:15 Sunday evening. The
end came after a day OF unconscious
ness, and after a heroic struggle of
days which had exhausted his vitality.
At his deathbed were his wife, his
sons, Charles B. and Frank Jefferson,
his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham, DR..
R. 3. Porter, and his faithful old serv-
ant, Carl Kettler.
Mr.. Jefferson was born in Philadel-
phia February 20, 1929, and had been
On the stage since childhood.
The end was not a surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
spell, which came after a rally on
Thursday morning, and which was fol-
lowed by an apparent improvement I'M
til Friday, the family has been waiting
for the end. Mr.. Jefferson's condition,
Saturday night, grew steadily worse,
and the family, who had retired, were
summoned from their beds, and Dr..
Potter was called. The patients con-
dition continued to grow worse all
through Sunday, and the brief bulletins
from the bedside contained NO words
of encouragement.
The illness of Mr.. Jefferson, which
ended in his death, was contracted, it
is believed. while on a recent visit to
his son, Charles B. Jefferson, at Hobe
sound, a few miles above Palm Beach,
where he went to meet his friend,
former President Cleveland. 1t is be-
lieved that from a slight indiscretion
in his eating there he suffered an at
tack of indigestion. Since his return
to his home his condition grew steadi-
ly worse with slight rallies until the
end.
The body of Mr.. Jefferson will be
taken to Buzzard's Bay on a special
train, leaving her this evening, &C
companied by all the members of his
family, who are here. 1t will reach
New York Wednesday morning and the
family hope to reach Buzzard's Bay
the evening Of that day.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 21.-Five
girls were hurt during a panic, Thurs
day, among so young women employed
on the second floor of the Kaufman
Manufacturing Co. Only one, Carolina
Ebler, was seriously injured, and it is
believed she will recover. The slip
ping of a large belt from its pulley on
the third floor loosened the plaster on
the floor below, and the girls, be-
-lieving the building was about to col
lapse, made a dash for the only exit,
a narrow stairway, which soon was
crowded with struggling girls, who
piled over each other in their eager
ness to escape. Five were bruised and
otherwise injured.

A QUIET SUNDAY IN CAMP.
The President and Party Spent the
Sabbath Quietly Resting in
Their New Camp.

Glenwood Springs, Col, April "a
President Roosevelt's hunting party, in
camp Is miles northwest of Newcastle,
spent a quiet Sunday. The party had
been invited to attend church
services at Newcastle, but it was
decided that hunting toys would
be inharmonious with Easter gladness.
After a week in the saddle, the sports
men welcomed the chance to rest. Bear
tracks have been sighted in several di-
rections from the present camps, and
it is believed by the party that at least
N more bear will be bagged before
another move is made.

of trade will arrive here to-day to con-
fer with Secretary Loeb in regard to
