Comstock, Richards and Jameson Found Guilty by Omaha Federal
 Court Jury.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 22.--The trial in the federal department court of Bartlett Richards, president. Will G. Comstock, vice president. c. c. lame son, secretary, treasurer and general manager, of the Nebraska Land and Feeding company, controlling the 100000 acre Spade" ranch. and Aquilla Triplett, their agent, ended Thursday evening in the conviction of the four defendants on 36 counts of an indictment which charged con spiracy to defraud the government of public lands and suDornation of per jury. The jury took but two hours to consider the evidence.
 A year ago Richards and Comstock who are counted in the millionaire class were convicted in the federal court of illegally fencing government land and fined $500 each and sentenc ed to six hours Imprisonment each. The latter part of the sentence was served at the Omaha club in the nom. inal custody of their attorney who had been deputized for that duty by United States Marshall T. L. Mat thews. As sequel to this episode President Roosevelt removed the marshal and United States District Attorney Irving l.. Baxter.

now credited with having waged the most successful battle thus far against the Standard that has ever been undertaken, refused Thursday to discuss the probable outcome of the case. From some of those close to him it was learned, however. that the chances are remote that the Stand. will call any more witnesses. In stead of being elated over the break. ing down of the Standards defense the attorney general. it was said was somewhat disappointed. as he has a great desire to cross-examine some of the highest officials of the trust.
 It is likely now that the testimony taken before the commissioners in various states will be presented to the supreme court of Missouri as soon as it is certified to by the proper authorities. The court may order the Standard oil company of Indiana and the Waters-Pierce company of St. Louis to quit business in Missouri, The court also has the power to i'm. pose heavy fine on the offenders fl they are finally convicted.

 STRENUOUS TRAINING.
Compelling His Children to Walk Barefoot in snow.

Philadelphia. Dec. 21. = Thomas Wistar Brown. who is rich and the father of six children. has theories on the bearing of boys and girls which involve ocean baths in November and barefoot strolls over the December snow. For this reason he is under in- dictment at Ocean Grove. on eight charges of cruelty and number of prominent Philadelphians have be come kidnapers in that they have stolen the six children and keep them
 concealed from their father.
 The kidnspers are relatives of the Brown and Wistar families which are among the wealthiest and most prom inent in Philadelphia. They are de- termined to keep the children until the courts enjoin the father fnom eorc- ing icy baths and icier walks upon them. Also the relatives and the children's mother contend, the courts shall decide whether or not it is cruel to force the children to learn chapters of the Bible by heart
 Mir. Brown declares that he wishes to see his children have strength to plunge into the ocean all winter. if necessary, and he does not think that in giving them this training he is be- ing other than Kind.

Rome, Dec. 22.--A note signed by the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry Del Val, protesting against the search of the papal nunciature at Paris, the expulsion of Mgr. Montag' mini and the seizure of the secret cipher, enabling the French govern ment to take cognizance of the papai correspondence, and the alleged yio- lation of the right of the pope to correspond with Catholics all over the world, was presented to the diplo- matic representatives accredited to the Vatican Friday together with circular setting forth the motives of the holy see in the action it has taken regarding the application of the law of 1905 providing for the separation of church and state
 "The representatives of the holy see abroad have also received cir cular in which are set forth the mo tives for the action of the Vatican regarding the application of the church and state separation law of 1905. These motives are so grave that it is evidently impossible to ac- cuse the holy see of intransigence, or of unjust hostility to the French government in condemning the cul. tural associations which disregarded the essential rights which the church derived from her constitution, such as maintaining an ecclesiastical hier- archy, established by her divine founder as the basis of the organiza. ton of the church. In fact, the law conferred on the cultural associations rights which not only belong exclu sively to the ecclesiastical authorities in the practice of worship and in pos. sessing and administering ecclesiasti~ cal property but the same associa- tions were rendered independent of the ecclesiastical hierarchy and in- stead were placed under the jurisdic- tion of the lay authorities. The pon tiff could not approve of such as- sociations without being lax in his out trampling upon the fundamental domestic principles of the church.
 'The same can be said of NJ. Bri- and's circular. The holy see could not admit the unjust and intolerable conditions which the circular i'm. posed upon the clergy in the exer- else of their duties.
 "All this evidently shows that the holy see merely did it's duty strictly

H TACKEDBY INSANE MAN
Attempt to Assassinate Probate Judge Cutting in Chicago Crim-
 inal Court Building.
ESCAPED INJURY BY A HAIRS BREADTH
Erank F. Ellerbrock Lay in Walt for the Judge and Shot at Him at Close Range-Thc Assailant Over come and Captured After a Des- perate Struggle.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-A desperate ef- Charles s. Cutting of the probate court by Frank F. Ellerbrock of this city. The would-be assassin is believed to be insane. Judge Cutting escaped in jury by hairs breadth and oyerpow- cred his assailant after a fierce fight
 As the judge entered the criminal court building on his way to his chambers, Ellerbrock who was stand ing in the hallway stepped forward and when but two feet distant drew a revolver and fired at the judge. Judge Cutting instantly turned and struck his assailant a heavy blow in the face, almost knocking him down. Before Ellerbrock could recover Judge Cutting grabbed him by the throat and threw him backwards over steam radiator where he held him despite his desperate efforts to es cape. Two deputy sheriffs hastened to the assistance of the judge and wrested the revolver from Ellerbrock. Judge Cutting then allowed him to rise from the radiator and the man attempted to attack him once more. The two men struggled back and forth across the hallway and the judge with the assistance of the depu- ty sheriffs finally hurled Ellerbrock to the floor. The man still continued to struggle until exhausted. He then commenced to beg for mercy. saying Please don't hurt me"
 Ellerbrock has been laboring under the hallucination that the probate court deprived him of his rights to snare Tn the eetate or ms deceaseu sister. He had repeatedly appealed to Judge Cutting to reopen the case. Judge Cutting declined in absence of proof that the estate had been im- properly closed.
 At the station Ellerbrock talked in, coherently to the effect that as he could get no satisfaction in the courts he had decided to kill the judge be- fore whom the matter was pending. Tn the next breath Ellerbrock said: q didn't mean to shoot the judge. l only wanted to have him put on trial himself. I pulled the trigger twice. Once the bullet failed to explode and the other bullet struck the floor. l did not aim to shoot the judge at all"
 The police believe Ellerbrcck is un- doubtedly insane.
 The grand jury has promptly re- turned an indictment charging Eller, brock with assault with deadly weapon and with attempting to kill.
