HOLIDAY DISCUSSION
Some of the Affairs Suggested to Make the Season Thoroughly
 Enjoyable for All.

Plans for the holidays are being dis cussed. It is taken for granted that the usual Pioneer ball on New Years will be the star event, and that the Arctic Brotherhood will acquit itself with its accustomed Christmas felicity.
 The Jolly Companions may conclude to give sacred concert on Christmas Eve It is said some of Rampart's noted musicians would volunteer their serv- ices and the concert would be a high class musical event. A Christmas tree may also be added to that evenings entertainment.
 Thanksgiving day seems to have aroused the holiday spirit, and we may expect to see the occasion marked by at least as happy an observance as hereto fore.

the cell was found three more sticks
of dynamite and some fuse which
had not been used. Two revolvers
that Chesterfield had dropped were
also found in the cell, as were two
saws used by the prisoner to saw
through iron bars.
Early last evening the Jailers
discovered another plan Chester
field had made to escape. He was
to be taken to the state penitentiary
today to serve three years for GRIM
inal assault on a 16-year-old girl.
The Yale lock in his cell had neen
so worn by continual rubbing
against the iron bars that one on
the inside could easily push the
door open. This was remedied, but
seemingly Chesterfeld's cell was
not thoroughly searched. Two Sd vs.
were found, but no dynamite OF re-
volvers discovered. 1t is believed
that the dynrmite was conceai-d
about Cherterfeld's clothes and that
be waited till 4 o'clock, when ne
expected the jailers would be eff
guard, to make his bold break for
liberty.
Chesterfield is one of the most
desperate prisoners ever confined In
the county Jail. He has several
times almost beaten to death other
prisoners confined in the Jail and it
became necessary to confne hlm
alone in cell.
Yesterday Chesterfield boasted that
he never would be taken to pris On
alive. He believed then that lis
plan to blow up the Jail would sue
ceed. Chesterfield was secretly
married three weeks ago and his
wife has had unlimited privileges
visiting him. This fac the jailtrs
say. accounts for Chesterfeld's POI
session of the saws, Dynamste ard
revolvers.
The same woman helped him two
years ago to escape at Voncouver,

cell with which he blinded the
guard.

Just as>the water was turned in,
the report of revolver was heard.
This was when Chesterfield held
the weapon to his head and tried
to murder himself. Even though
he inflicted what is believed to be a

PITTSBURG. Pa, November 4.-The per-

the Enterprise National Bank of Allegheny
which were found In the dead cashiers
desk, were taken up by the examiner to-
day for the first time 1t is hoped that in
these personal or private books will be
found some trace of the missing funds of
the institution and the collateral that has
been rehypothecated, as we'll as of the per-
sons with whom Clark had been dealing
In the books OF the bank proper no clear
account of these transactions can be OBJ
tanned. and 1t was stated today that unless
Clark's books contain a record of them it

aminers to ever get at the true condition
CT the banks affairs.
A crowd of ,depositors were about the
banks doors again today, anxious to secure
an authoritative statement. from the ex-
aminers of the actual condition of the In
stitution.
The officials at work in the bank do not
relish the manifestation of impatient
clamor, and when asked today if state
ment could not be issued with a view to
satisfying the depositors, replied that moth
ing was yet known and that no authorita-
tive statement could be issued at the pres
ent time.

AVERAGED HIGH SPEED.
Satisfactory Showing by the Armored
Cruisers in Run From South Pass.

The armored cruiser West Virginia, flag
ship Of Rear Admiral Brownsons squadron,
made the from South Pass, at the
mouth of the Mississippi river, to Cape
Henry, Va, when she brought President
Roosevelt home from his southern trip at an
average speed of 1892 knots hour. But
for the storm encountered off the Carolina
coast the average would have been still
better. The big cruisers were being driven
through the gulf stream at a speed of
eighteen knots, when the wind registered
fifty-two miles at Cape Hatteras, and 1t
became necessary to slow down.
President Roosevelt was shown while the
West Virginia was plowing through the
gale that it would have been possible to
have fought the broadSide and stern guns,
and an officer who was aboard said that
by slowing down to ten-knot speed the
bow guns could have been fought as we'll
during the gale.
The armored cruisers Colorado and Penn
sy1vania, duplicates of the West Virginia,
travelled with the flagship from Key West
to Hampton Roads.
The official report of Rear Admiral Brown
son on the remarkable achievement of his
squadron of cruisers in the run from the
gulf to the Virginia capes is awaited with
considerable interest as these vessels made
taken a place in the North Atlantic fleet
where they are conspicuous because of their
size. The vessels We're designed for maxi
mum speed of - knots, and it Is of interest
to naval officials TO know how easily a
speed such as was maintained throughout
the run was attained despite the heavy
wind and high seas encountered in the gulf
stream.

CHARGES PREFERRED.
Clash Between City and Federal Of
ficials at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, November f. A clash
between city and federal authorities during
the visit Of President Roosevelt here last
week became known today through charges
preferred against the local chief of police
by John A. Cotter, supervising inspector
of the steamboat inspection service.
From these charges, which are contained
in a report forwarded to the Department Of
Commerce and Labor, it appears tha. the
police objected TO federal supervision of
the number Of passengers to be permitted
on the Comus, the vessel chartered to take
the president and prominent citizens on
river excursion.
While Mr.. Cotter was counting the pas
sengers going aboard the police demanded
his authority. He showed his badge, but
the chief of police ordered his arrest, and
he was taken to the outskirts Of the crowd
and released. Upon an attempt to resume
his duties. which are prescribed by law,
it is said, he was again interfered with and
the boat crowded far beyond government
regulations. 1t Is understood here that the
complaint was formally called for by Sec
retary Metcalf, and some proceeding will
be begun against the city authorities

FEATURES POINT TO MURDER.
Detectives Working on Theory in
Death of Mrs Todd.

PHILADELPHIA. November 4.--Detec-
tives are working on the theory that Mrs.
Margaret Todd, the wealthy New York wo-
man whose mangled body was found on the
railroad tracks In Fairmount Park, was
lured to this city by two men who were
principals in conspiracy to get possession
of her wealth. Coroner Dugan said today:
There are SO many peculiar features in
connection with this case that 1t was the
proper course to have the body examined In
order to learn the true circumstances. A
good deal depends on what the stomach will
reveal. 1 expect to hear from Coroner
Scholer some time today, and theh we Will
be more clearly posted.
"All the evidence SO far points to a con-
dition which might easily be claimed as
criminal in it's intent.
Detective Gallagher has not as yet re-
ported to me as to what Information has
been obtained here regarding Mrs. Todd S
movements since she left the Reading rail-
way station on Friday evening at 6 o'clock.

would be able to proceed much speedier

sumption of the inquest. Everything will

FINE OR IMPRISONMENT
PENALTY INCURRED By FORMER
PUBLIC PRINTER.
Violation Of Smoke Law the 0ffense-
Case Not to Go to Higher
Court.

Fifty dollars fine or sixty days in jail"
This was the sentence imposed in the Po-
lice Court on March "a Of the present year
upon Frank w. Palmer. who was at the
time public printer. Now the sentence
stands upon the record to be expatiated. and
the question naturally arises whether or not
Mr.. Palmer who is no longer public printer,
will pay the fine or take the alternative.
The particular ofrense with which he was
charged at the time Of his arraignment In
the Police Court was violation of the smoke
law, the offense having been committed at
the big printery on North Capitol street.
The resuscitation Of the case at this late
date was due to conference between d.
w. Baker, district attorney, and the solicitor
general concerning the advisability OF ap-
plying to the Supreme Court of the United
States for writ of certiorari to review the
judgment of the Court of Appeals. which
tribunal upheld the decision of the Police
Court judges that the District smoke law
applied to offenses at the government de-
partments the same as violations by private
individuals
The case of Public Printer Palmer has
been carried forward as a test case by the
United States. but in a communication to
Corporation Counsel e. II. Thomas the law
officer of the District, United States Attor-
ney Baker stated that it had been decided
not to place the matter before the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Baker further stated that as
soon as the Court of Appeals again con-
venes he will again inform the court of
this fact, that the mandate may go
down.
In effect this means that the former pub
lie printer stands convicted of violation
of the regulations, and if the usual rule
obtains he must pay the original fine i'm
posed. The Commissioners, it is stated,
refuse to remit the fine, but it Is an open
question whether or not an attempt will ac-
tua1ly be made to exact the penalty.
At the time sentence was imposed in the
Police Court and an appeal was noted, Pub
lie Printer Palmer was released on his own
recognizance, but since then has come the
upheaval in the government printing office,
and the retirement of Mr.. Palmer. 1t is
said he is now in Chicago.
