FEAR TWO ESCAPED kANGARoCS
Maryland Mountaineers Are Living
Behind Barred Doors.

Mountaineers in the vicinity of this
place have barricaded their homes in
fear of two kangaroos which have
been loose in the mountains for two
days.
The animals were part of Robbins
circus which was going over the
mountains on a Western Maryland
railroad train when the projecting roof
of a station knocked open the cages
and the kangaroos escaped. The cages
of lions were knocked over but the
beasts did not escape.
The two kangaroos are loose in a
country dotted with boarding houses
and hotels, and their tracks lead close
by the most prominent excursion re-
sort on the mountain. Posses of men
searching night and day have failed
to find the animals-Pen May (Md.)

PULITZER WISHES
ACTION DELAYED
SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM TO
AWAIT HIS DEATH
Ample Funds Have Been Paid over
and Invested, but Plans iequire
Time in Which to
Mature
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The Tribune
tomorrow will say that the actual es
tablishmeut of the school of journalism
at Columbia university which Joseph
Pulitzer endowed will be deferred until
the donors death. The Tribune pub.
fishes letter from correspondent
asking If the rumor is true that the
president of Columbia could not agree
with the donor as to the advisory
board suggested by Mr.. Pulitzer which
comprised such men as President Eliot
Whitelaw Reid Andrew d. White and
John Hay. and that in consequence of
this the project had been delayed by
the benefaotor. The Tribune will say:
Joseph Pulitzer is spending the win
ter at Jekyl Island. Bradford Merrill,
financial manager of the World. felt
authorized in his absence to make the
following statement to the Tribune:
Originally it was the intention of
the founder to have Columbia univer-
sity proceed with the establishment of
the College of Journalism at once.
There were some differences of opinion
with President Butler as to the found
er's right to constitute the advisory
board. This was the original cause of
delay. That difference does not now
exist. Mr.. Pulitzer is alone responsi-
BILE for the present delay. He regretted
1t at first, but in the time that has
elapsed he has come to believe that in
this case delay was not dangerous, but
on the contrary fortunate. His pres
ent determination is that the actual
establishment of the College of Jour
nalism shall be postponed until his
death.
1.-The precarious state of his health
and his consequent inability to give
by the obligations imposed is one of his
reasons. Another reason in the found
er's mind is that he wishes an inno-
cent and great public institution may
not suffer from his prejudice, personal
or professional. He hopes that time will
divert these prejudices.
ITO avoid all uncertainties or mis-
l may add that the endow-
ment of the college is absolutely irrev-
ocable and it's establishment beyond
a shadow of doubt. The first million
dollars is already in the actual pos
session of Columbia, the second million
is legally provided for as we'll as a
still further voluntary sum not mem
toned in any agreement. Even the
of the advisory board is
made in an instrument that will take
effect instantaneously at Mr.. Pulitzer's
death. "

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Senator
John Mitchell of oregon, who was in
dicted by the United States grand jury
at Portland yesterday for bribery in
connection with the land frauds in

searching investigation of the charges
against him and asserts that only
'misconstrued innocent acts" and "un-
warrantable differences" can connect
him with the land frauds. He further
says:

DENVER BALLOTS

VERY EASY
Many Ballots Never Got Into the Box.
Foreien-Born Voters Called on
to Identity Their
Votes
nr Associated prsss.

By Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo. Feb. 2.-One of the
mysteries of the ballot box stuffing at
the election last November was cleared
up by witness in the Peabody-Adams
gubernatorial contest before the joint
legislative committee this afternoon.
The experts In a number OF precincts
have declared that number of bal
lots were probably illegal because not
creased in such manner as to be
passed through the slot in the boxes.
Alderman A. D. Nauff was called by
the Democratic attorney simply to
identify his ballot He was success
full in this and on cross-examination
he was asked to show how he folded
his ballot to put it through the slot.
This brought out the statement that
many of the ballots in that precinct
had never been in the ballot box be-
cause there. was not room for them.
Instead, with the consent of the elec-
tion officials and the supreme court
watchers, they were cast in the outside
casing of the box and were not folded
in the same manner as those put in the
ballot box proper.
Most of the witnesses examined this
afternoon were foreign born persons
residing in Elyria, a suburb Of this
city. whose ballots had been declared
by the Peabody experts to be fraudu-
lent. They identified their ballots
when they were shown them, but were
unable to pick them out with any GER
tainty after the ballots had been mixed
up by the attorneys. Each witness
was asked to write the word Demo
cratic" as he had written it on the bal
lot, and in each case the handwriting
was identical with that on the ballots.
The unsealers of ballots reported on
a number which the experts had testi-
fled were written by the same hand.
In one of the punches of ballots al
legged to be in the same handwriting
were found those voted by John C.
Twombley, formerly postmaster of
Denver, and Milton Aufanger, Re-
publican state senator, and two men,
bers of his family.
