KINGDOM GOULD
FOR HIS HASTY CON-
DUCT IN FIRING HIS RE-
vOLVER.

New York, Jan. 8.-Kingdon Gould,
son of George ]. Gould, has written
letter to Dean Hutton of Columbia
college in which he admits that when
he was chased by a crowd of upper
classmen he drew a revolver and fred
in the cir. He states that he did so
not from any desire tc harm any one
but because he hoped to scare off a
party of men who might have mo-
Tested him. He explains that he does
not usually carry a revolver but that
on this OCCASION he had been out in
the country and that he had taken
it with him for protection. Having
It in his pocket he fired shot in the

THE IMPEACHMENT
OF JUDGE SWAYNE
WILL CAUSE VIGOROUS TALK
FEST IN CONGRESS.
Wide Difference Of Opinion Exists
Among Members Of Committee
Who viii Prepare the
Articles.

Washington, Jan. SIT is very
probable that the coming week In
congress will be marked by a debate of
unusual vigor. 1t will be on the ques-
ton of what the articles of impeach-
ment in the Swayn, case shall be.
There is wide difference of opinion
among the members of the special
committee to which the drawing up OF
articles has been assigned. A majority
demand that several charges shall be
incorporated in the articles, while sew
eral leading members of the committee
are firm in demanding that the Florida
judge shall be tried alone for the al
legged offense of having charged the
maximum per diem expense of $40
when his actual expenses were many
dollars less. -. 4b.
Swayne's friends have taken hope
from the fact that majority of cir
cult and district judges in the United
States have presented vouchers for
the maximum Of expense allowed by
law. They hope that such a feeling of
resentment against rejecting upon the
judiciary will arise as may prevent the
house from reaching definite conclu-
sions. If the committee report to the
house by Thursday, as it is confidently
expected the balance of the week will
be occupied by discussion of the
case
Appropriation bills and the question
as to whether or not the pension
building shall be used for the inaugu-
ration ball will be among other mat
ters considered.
In the senate the statehood bill will
occupy the greater portion of the
time. The omnibus claims bill will be
passed and treaties given considera-
tion behind closed doors.

YOUNG DESPERADOES
BY THE POLICE OF
WASHINGTON.

Together by Most Horrible
Oaths.

Washington, Jan. An organized
band of youthful desperadoes none Of
them over rs years of age, has been
unearthed by the local police. Four
of the gang have been arrested and
have confessed to having brutally as
saulted and robbed of $18 William Ev-
erett, driver for the Herdic Cab COM
pany on the Mall, Dec. %,
Those in custody are: William To-
bin, George Hardey, Bernard w. Els
muller and Joe Zarega.
1t was discovered by the police that
they are members of a regularly Or
ganized gang, bound together by an
oath which carries with it penalty
of death in horrible form to any trait
or to the cause.
A copy of the oath which is said to
bind these in their alleged career of
red script, which is thought to be
blood, was found on one of the pris-
toner's. 1t pledges every subscriber
thereto to eternal fealty to the inter-
ests of the band which are specified to
be the obtaining of plunder and the
determination, by fair means or foul
of policemen, detectives and their like.
To this end the members pledge their
climbs, vitals and souls" The pen
atty attached to a violation Of this
solemn obligation is that the offenders
shall have his skull crushed, his brain
extracted and fed to carrlon birds;
his chest and abodem ripped open, and
his vitals torn out and thrown in the
sewers"
From the four members of the gang
it was learned that regular initiation
is required Of all recruits, who are
forced to subscribe to the oath" in
the presence of all other members.
From statements made by the pris-
oners the police are aware that there
are numerous other members of this
organization and they have hopes that
other arrests will follow.

tain Rooney gave the order to turn
around and make for port.
The night that followed not a moth

ever forget. All possible speed was
made, but the vessel listed heavily,
more water rushed into the forepeak
with every minute and at one time it
seemed as though the hoodoo would
be able to complete its work and take
captain and crew down to Davy Jones.

the ships company was ready to say
its last prayers. But Captain Rooney
kept his head. He had the ships hose
connected and as heavy pressure of
steam as could be wrung from the en-
gines WIS forced into the sizzling
hold. After an hours desperate fire
fighting the blaze was under control
and the struggle against wind and
waves was resumed.
Saturday morning brought some relief
from the storm and the worst danger
seemed over. Then Captain Rooney re-
ceived the news that five of the fire.
men had not reported for duty. They
were looked up in the hunks in the
forecastle and there every man jack
OF them lay as though he was as dead
as doornail. The compartment was
full of choking smoke and fumes, left
over from the fire of the day before.
The unconscious men were dragged on
deck and there Captain Rooney and
his officers worked over them until
they had regained consciousness and
then the five able-bodied seamen were
given the most comfortable rugs and
pillows In the captains cabin to rest
up from their experience.
At II O'Clock this forenoon the Fam

soon as the cargo in her forward hold
has been discharged she will be dock
ed for repairs.
The cargo is consigned to Funch,

RARE TACT NECESSARY.
Possibility Of the Government Being
Involved in Foreign Politics.

1t developed today that certain high
officials of the government fear that the
United States government, in its humane
endeavors to stop the hostilities in the
far east, is In danger of becoming in
volved in European politics, and that
hasty action at this time may establish a
precedent which might easily lead to dis
aStrouS consequences in the future.
So far this government has faithfully
observed the policy established by Wash
ington Of avoiding all entangling alliances
with other foreign powers and has stu
dtously refrained from any participation
In the political affairs of Europe or Asia,
except where action was demanded by the
interests of the United States. Efforts
have been adroitly made by certain Euro
pean powers to have this government act
in concert with them in international
crises in the past. but the advances were
invariably rejected, and when the case
called for action by the United States it
always acted Independently.
Whether the present crisis calls for u
change of policy remains to be seen. j.,
It is declared today that it will require
the exercise of the rarest tact and -tiiplo-
macy for President Roosevelt to bring Rus
sia and Japan to terms without becoming
III some way involved In the political
schemes of some of the European powers
having a more direct or indirec. interest in
the peaceful settlement of the war In the
far east

convene the April term OF the grand jury

minority of the citizens who live near the
institution. He advised that the citizens
Immediately start the circulation of petit
ton to be signed by residents who oppose
the pool room. and who desire that 1t be
closed. That would show whether the gen.
