reward for Hagerty was withdrawn
when Judge Westover dismissed the
case against his partner, Bernard Nc
Greeyy at Bassett last spring.
New Complaint Against Pat.
A new complaint against Hagerty
was filed in court here on Monday of
this week and warrants are out on
both this and the former complaint for
his arrest Both complaints charge
him with receiving money for depos-
its after he knew the bank to be in
solvent.
Sheriff Hall has wired the sheriff of
Webb county, Texas, to hold Hagerty
and it is possible that he may be
brought back.
May Not be Prosecuted.
1t is possible chat Hagerty, how
ever, although he ruined the bank here
and robbed poor orphans and widows
as well as business men of O'Neill of
their lifetime savings, may not be
prosecuted.
After the county had gone to the ex-
pense of capturing McGreevy and hold
ing him, he was summarily dismissed
from court and all charges against him
thrown to the winds in a day, before
the trial had ever had a start. The
county attorney declared he would not
have anything more to do with the
matter and it is not known that Hag-
erty could be prosecuted under condi-
tions existing here.
In disgust, the county commission
ers withdrew the reward offered for
Hagerty, fearing that he might be
caught by his friends for the sake of
the reward and then turned loose in
court.
1t is therefore not yet known what
action will be taken, even though he
has been found and will be arrested.
Hagerty is white-haired and eighty
years old

FREIGHT TRAFFIC contested.
Serious Situation Confronting Rail
way Men at Chicago.

CHICAGO. October 10.-The congestion of
freight traffic has increased so fast within
the last few days that railway officials
fear they are soon to be face to face with
a blockade. Conditions on the eastern
roads. which have not only to handle the
business which they originate but have the
crops OF the west pouring upon them for
export. are naturally the worst. but those
on the western lines also rapidly be-
coming extremely serious.
With the approach of winter the move
ment OF coal has swiftly grown heavier,
aggravating the congested conditions which
already existed, and traffic men say that
they do not know what they will do for cars
when the years enormous crop OF corn is
ready for market, as it will be now in q
short time.
line belonging to one Of the big eastern
systems yesterday had orders for 4 .235 cars,
which 1t could not fill. The Pennsylvania
proposes to give notice that for thirty six
hours IL will not receive consignments from
the Pittsburg district. the object being to
get time partly to clear the tracks OF the
cars which have accumulated on its lines
west. The Hill lines have given notice
that for the present they will be unable
to receive further consgnments of lumber
from Washington east.

AN ALLEGED BOYCOTT
THREAT AGAINST AMERICAN
GOODS BY SOUTH AMERICA.

NEW ORLEANS, October 10-Printed
circulars, threatening that South American
countries viii boycott the goods Of Ameri-
can manufacturers who vote for President
Roosevelt's principles in the next election.
have been received by several New Orleans
manufacturing firms. The circular. which
is claimed to have been drafted in Cara
cas-. Venezuela. on September II, reads in
part:
American manufacturers who vote the
Roosevelt ballot in the next presidential
election will be excluded from South Ameri-
can trade.
President Roosevelt has said In some
recent speeches that the Latin-American
countries are bound to disappear for two
reasons. first. because they are Latin. and
second, because they are small"
The circular then says that the demo-
cratic party rs disposed to fraternize with
US and treat US on an equal basis"
1t says that III boycott stations already
have been established, but does not explain
what is meant by boycott stations. The Or
ganiZation Is claimed to be on a military
basis, entirely independent OF South Ameri-
can governments. and better organized than
the Chinese boycott.
The circular calls this organization the
Sublime Brotherhood of Zapues."
Apparently the circulars were mailed
from San Jose. Costa Rica.

CROKER'S LIBEL ACTION,
His Attorney Applied for Permission

Cookers attorney in his libel action against
the London Magazine, applied for permits
sion to serve a writ on the Amalgamated
Press, publishers of the magazine The
Amalgamated Press Is one Of the Harms
worth companies, with headquarters in Lon
don, so 1t was necessary to obtain the sane
ton of the court to serve the writ outside
the courts Jurisdiction. Mr.. Campbell
pointed out that the Dublin agents of the
defendant had served writ on the plain
tiff. Mr.. Croker, he said. sought In addi-
ton to recovering damages. to restrain the
defendants from publishing certain gross
and defama tory statements concerning him.
under the heading Of ''Tammany in Eng
land
Statements" counsel continued, had
been made therein which were entirely
false and unfounded. The plaintiff had
never, as alleged. derived any money or
moneys worth from his connection with
any democratic organization In New York
including Tammany Hail. save and except
the salaries he received for the different
offices he held in the civic administration of
New York. So far from having at any time
used his position for the purpose stated in

corrupting and subornins. he had never

indirectly. as alleged. and he did not then
or at any time blackmail bride, corrupt or
suborn any person or persons. He solemn
ly swore he had never knowingly done or
suffered to be done any corrupt or improper
act for his personal benefit"
Mr.. Campbell pointed out that Mr.. Croker
lived near Dublin. so 1t was more expedi-
tious to have the action tried In Dublin

FOOT BALL PRACTICE.
Fast Signal Work by George Wash
ington Squad

Real foot ball. such as delights the spec
tators and makes the coaches smile, char
acterized the practice of the George
Washington squad on University Field yes
terday afternoon. After Coach Crowell had
put two teams through fast signal work
regular game was started. the varsity
kicking off to the scrubs and scoring a
touchdown within five minutes of play.
But on the next kickoff the strength of
the scrub team. which has recently had
some valuable accessons showed Itself,
and for the remainder of the play, lasting
about twenty-five minutes. the second
eleven had the better of the contest. At
the center of the field Whiting, who was
playing left halfback, got away for beau
full run. which ended behind the goal
posts. He kicked goal which gave the
scrubs a point the varsity, the latter
having failed in the kick-out for a try. On
the next kickoff Whiting caught the ball
and ran through the entire varsity team
with the exception of one man, who sue
ceeded in bringing him down. During part
of the practice the scrubs were strength
ened by the shifting of Lorando from the
regular team to their right end and by
the presence of DuGanne. new man, at
guard. Among the other new candidates
are Cats and Grill Cats played a fast
game last year at end on the Baltimore
Medical College.
