AMERICAN PHYSICIAN
STILL IN JAMAICA JAIL

ing Port Royal Fortifcations, His
Release Is Hoped For.

Vice Consul William Hossett, at
Kingston, Jamaica, has reported TO the
State Department the arrest at Kings
ton Of Dr. Franklin Clark. young Bos-
ton physician, who took photographs of
the fortihcations az Port Royal. Vice
Consul Hossett says that DR.. Clark is In
jail. having been unable to obtain bail
of 81. 900.
DR.. Clark's defense is that he was ig-
norant of the laws regarding photo
graphing forts and that he merely took
them because of an amateur pho
tographer's enthusiasm.
Vice Consul Hossett says he feels sure
that this is straight story and he hopes
TO convince the military authorities OF
jamaica Of this fact.
He has cabIed to DR.. E. w. Clark. a
relative OF the man under arerst. at Z
Congress street, Boston.
Young Clark is a graduate Of Harvard
University. He went to Jamaica this
spring on pleasure trip. The authori-
ties caught him taking pictures of the

NEW HIGHWAY BRIDGE
WILL BE COMPLETED
Strike of Structural Workers Has
Been Brought to an End, Says
An.hority.

Work on the new Highway bridge
across the Potomac at the foot of
Fourteenth street southwest, was re-
sumed this morning
It could not be learned upon what
basis the strike, which has been on for
the past month. had been settled. but
it is generally understood that the
action on the part of the Government
went long way in bringing about an ad-
justment Of the grievances existing be-
tween the Pennsylvania Steel Company
and the striking members of the Inter
national Association Of Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers.
a While all the bridge builders had not
returned to work this morning it was
claimed by an official of the steel
company. at noon today, that tomorrow
morning the full force would be at work
and that the bridge would be completed
within the time limit
The cause of the trouble between the
bridge workers and the Pennsylvania
Steel Company resulted from the latter
employing non-union men in their shops
at Steelton, Pa, which condition. when
brought to the attention OF the asso-
citation headquarters at Cleveland, Ohio,
resulted in a general strike order being
issued declaring a strike on all the
work of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany.

SPANISH WOMAN RIVAL
TO RIP VAN WINKLE
Wife Of a Farm Hand Awakeus From
Trance Of Thirty-one
Years.

MADRID. July 81.-Leonora Romaldo,
the wife of farm hand at Vilacienso
near Burgos. has awakened from q
trance which has lasted thirty-one
years.
The case has been under the close OBJ
servation of medical experts during the
whole of that time. and by their instruc-
tions liquid food was regularly admins
tered by a tube placed in the mouth OF
the sleeping woman.
At times 1t was believed that the wom-
an was waking. and various means were
employed 10 restore her TO conscious
ness, but they failed.
She has now regained her senses, but
cannot be persuaded that she has slept
for years. A curious feature Of the case
Is that she remembers the incidents OF
her girlhood up to the time that she fell
into the trance.
Her body IS fairly well nourished. but
her hair has turned white. On being
shown a mirror the woman shrieked
with horror. and declared that the image
1t reflected was not her own.
