ERIE, Pa, Sept. 17.-In the middle
of Lake Erie today the Canadian cruiser
vigilant riddled the big steamer tug
Harry G. Barnhurst with small shells
from the rifle on the patrol boat. Cap
tain Nick Easel of the tug admitted
after he escaped that the Vigilant could
have sent her to the bottom if Captain
Dunn had so desired. They ran more
than eight miles under full head OF
steam before they crossed the boun-
dairy line and escaped from the Cana
dians.
More than thirty shots struck the
vessel and of these fifteen of the small
shells landed with telling effect on the
upper parts, so the boat careened to
one side with the mass of wreckage
when she came into port. Having
been used formerly for a pleasure
steamer, the Barnhurst is of large size
and well fitted with steam equipment.

the face by splinters shot away by the
bullets.
The Barnhurst, according to Captain
Easel. was about five miles over the
line, drawing nets when the Vigilant
appeared. The other Lake Erie tugs,
the Alma, Valiant and the Boyd, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunn or
dered the Barnhurst to stop, but in
stead of doing so, Captain Easel put on
full steam and started for the line. He
took a southwesterly direction and
could not be headed by the Vigilant.

not forced far enough. In four other
attempts the girl succeeded only in
prcking the side of the animals neck.
At the eighth attempt the animal
caught the girl on his head between
the horns and threw her high in the air.
She fell on her side and lay motion
less for a moment but was up once
more. The crowd cried to have the
weapon taken away from her, and she
gave it up. The bull was permitted to
leave the ring, wounded, but not NOR
tally. To Maria was assigned the Sec
ond bull, and she made little speech
in which she swore to make a safe kill.
Her first and second thrusts she missed
and at the third was knocked down
and rolled over until the crowd called
for her to give up the weapon and she
did so without reluctance. The third
bull was assigned once more to Elvira
Segovia, but she succeeded in driving
the sword only half way home and one
of the men had to finish the stroke.
The five girls are all young, not one
appearing over 20. They are from
Juarez and are studying the profession
under Bravo and Barrera who are
past masters in the business and toy
with the bulls as they would with a

On the subject of the recent testimony
of Mr.. Perkins before the Armstrong
committee he said:
"I am not going to conjecture wheth-
er a crime has been committed or not
in the matter of a campaign contribu-
ton by an insurance company. 1 have
not seen the official record. Civil suits
for restitution may, Of course, be
brought by the attorney general or an
interested party, but criminal prose-
cution would largely depend upon the
question of the intent with which the
act was committed
"Will you take any steps in the di-
rection of criminal prosecution?" Mr..
Jerome was asked.
II shall have the testimony, of
course" he replied, "and if that shows
that any crime has been committed I
shall certainly prosecute. That goes
without saying"

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 17.-Secretary OF
War Taft and party sailed at O'Clock
this afternoon for San Francisco OH
the steamship Korea amid Japanese
enthusiasm. Secretary Taft was given
a reception at the American consulate
by local merchants. Before sailing
Secretary Taft said that he thought
that reports of Japanese anti-peace
demonstrations had been greatly exag-
gerated in America. He and his party
had travelled all through Japan and
had found no trace of any anti-foreign
or anti-American feeling. While a
prominent American party had been
involved in a Toxic mob he thought
that 1t was because the party happened
to be caught in the mob and not be-
cause they were Americans. Other
churches beside American churches had
been burnt. There was a special rea-
son in each case but no general anti
foreign feeling was responsible.
Secretary Taft said that he had ex-
amined the Chinese boycott closely.
The Chinese, he said, want American
goods badly and having already lost
$15,00O,0OO by the boycott are finding
out that they are cutting off their nose
to spite their face.
Miss Alice Roosevelt will return home
on the steamer Siberia. The local
situation continues quiet.

NINE. HUMBERT'S BROTHER
DEPORTED AT NEW YORK
FRENCH Ex-coNVIcT ORDERED

Romaine Daurignac Attempts to Land

Claim That offense for Which He
Served a Sentence Was Political
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Romaine
Daurignac brother of Nine. Theresa
Humbert, now serving a sentence in
France on swindling charges In con-
nection with the Crawford estate, was
ordered deported today by the board
of inquiry of the immigration depart
ment after a hearing on Ellis island.
Daurignac arrived in New York Sat-
urday on the French line steamer La
Touraine and in an interview said that
he came to this country partly for the
purpose of observation and travel.
The law under which Daurignac was
ordered sent back to France forbids
the entry into the United States of
man who has served in prison for other
than political offense.
Daurignac was convicted in France
of irregular practices in connection
with certain insurance deals. He
claimed today, however, that his Of
fense was of a political nature, and
said:
'I was charged with being an acces-
sorry to the forming of an unlawful cor
poration and was tried and was SEN
fenced to two and half years for that
offense My conviction was due entirely
to the influence of my political enc
mics"
At Ellis island in answer to ques-
tions Daurignac gave his pedigree and
made no attempt to conceal the fact
that he was an ex-convict.
When, after the brief hearing, the
chairman curtly remarked "Deported"
he simply shrugged his shoulders and
said
"Ah, this is what 1 expected"
