tel in Caldwell-the quarters in which
he spent much of his time from Dec.
5 to Jan. 1, when he was arrested for
the murder committed on the evening
of Dec. 30. He was taken to Cald-
well today to testify before the grand
jury. His examination was not COM
pleted, and it was decided to keep him
there. The Jail was felt to be an i'm
proper place for him, and he was taken
to the hotel where, by chance, he
was assigned to the same room. Three
officers guard him.
The removal of Orchard from this
city to Caldwell was done very quietly
There had been no announcement of
the intention of the authorities to take
him down, and nothing was known
Urtil he appeared at the train under
heavy guard. The people of Caldwell
did not know he was coming and there
were none to meet the train out of
curiosity.
Great Secrecy.
The greatest secrecy is maintained
Jury. Nobody is permitted to approach
near the hall where the jury sits, and
the prosecution has succeeded in
guarding every particle of its informa-
ton.
Those who appeared before the grand
jury at the morning session were: De-
tective Andy Johnson of Boise who
vas one of the first on the scene after
the murder; State Chemist Macy, who
has analysed various substances found
in Orchards room; George NJ. Froh-
man, former town marshal OF Cald-
well. and James MCFARLAND, the de-
tective. The latter was accompanied
to Caldwell by Detective ThieIe, who
carried a brown bag from which he
Tever released his hold. What any
of these witnesses told the jury is
merely conjecture.
Orchard who was pale but firm, was
taken into the room after lunch, and
was before the jury until late in the
afternoon
His testimony was not concluded and
st was necessary to keep him there to
complete it in the morning The in
vestigation is conducted entirely by
members of the jury themselves, the
county attorney only entering the
room when requested to advise the
jury. 1t is not expected that indict-

New Demands of Germany Threaten
to Prolong Action by the Mo-
roecan Conference.

Algeciras. March 1.-The result of
the last forty-eight hours negotiations
is another check threatening to pro-
long the Moroccan conference. The
Germans, after rejecting, wish the dip
lomatic corps at Tangier to exercise
surveillance over the state bank, thus
preventing its use for further French
political designs. The French resist
this, claiming that Germany is chiefly
occupied with minimizing French in
fiuence in Morocco. The delegates now
talk Of the struggle being prolonged
till the latter part of March.
Washington, March while no i'm

Algeciras is expected by the govern

the state department today between
Secretary Root and NJ. Jusserand. the
French ambassador, during which the
negotiations at AIgeciras was the
main subject under discussion. It is
not unlikely that some of the neutral
powers more directly interested will
renew their efforts to bring France and
Germany into accord.

Mrs. G. Softer Rises to Drive Strange
Man From Her
Home.
THROWS KINDLING WOOD
RURLY FELLOW MAKES QUICK
EXIT FROM NEIeHBoRHooD.

Mrs. George Softer rose from her sick
bed last evening and, with kindling
wood as her only means of defense
drove a burglar from her home. Mrs.
Softer, who lives at 52S1s Main street,
was alone in the house, her husband
having come uptown earlier in the
evening to attend to business mat
ters. She has been i'll for some time.
About s o'clock Mrs. Softer saw a man
pass her window. The house was in
darkness A second later the sick wo-
man was startled by seeing the form
of a Six-fOOt stranger standing in the
doorway.
Mrs. Softer was too frightened to
scream. She felt the man was drunk
Or burglar. He showed his huge bulk
cautiously through the doorway It
appeared that he thought the house
unoccupied and was about to commit
burglary. All sorts of fears arose in
the wOman'S brain. She finally rose
quietly from the bed and crept across
the floor The man did not notice her.
He still stood near the door as if
planning his next move. His plans,
whatever they were, were never COM
pleted.
Fires VoIIey of kindIing Wood.
Mrs Softer crept to a stove in the
room Near this had been placed a
pile of kindling wood. Grabbing a
handful of this Mrs. Softer threw it at
the felleW, and with accurate aim.
AS the shower of wood struck him in
the face the man uttered an excla-
nation of surprise and began a hur-
ried retreat through the door
Mrs. Softer directed a rapid volley
of wood at the fellow and long before
her supply of ammunition had been
exhausted the enemy had disappeared
behind a house further down the street.
The brave woman then told neigh
bors of the strange visit that had been
paid her. She said little about driv-
ing the man into retreat saying
simply, 1T is all over The less said
the better"
Police Are Summoned.
Neighbors thought the fellow should
be arrested and telephoned to the pO-
lice. The man had disappeared from
the neighborhood when they arrived.
Mr.. Softer arrived home later and
found his wife in bed. She was great
ly agitated- He feared she was be
coming seriously i'll. The neighbOrs
then told him how she had crawled
from her sick-bed and, with nothing
more than a pile of firewOod, fright
ened off a big man whose actions were
those of a burglar. Mrs. SOter's con-
dition was rendered worse by her
thrilling experience, as the shock left
her in a state of collapse. There was
a big man hurrying from the neigh
borhood with nerves none to steady, !

McCurdys Leave.

Richard A McCurdy, ex-presfdent of
the Mutual Life Insurance company,
and Mrs. McCurdy, and Louis G. The
baud and Mrs. Thebaud, Mr.. McCur-
Gy'S daughter, left MOrristOWn n. j.
last night and boarded the Hamburg
American steamship Amerika at its
pier at HObOken. Several servants ac-
companied them. The Amerika will
sail today.
When the carriage containing the
McCurdys and the Thebauds arrived
at the pier a reporter tried to obtain
an interview with Mr. McCurdy Mr.
Thebaud's cOachman, Thomas Beddow,
hit the reporter, police say Bed
dow was arrested OF the charge of
assault and battery. He was held in
$500 bail
At McCurdy's home in Morristown
it was said that enough servants had
been left there to keep the place in
order, and that the silVerware and
china had been placed in the vaults
of a local safe deposit company. The
Thebaud place was also placed in the
hands of caretakers.
Mr., McCurdy has reseIv we'd what is
known as the imperial suite on the
Amerika- 1t gets its name from the
fact that the German emperor has the
privilege of using it whenever he cares
to travel on the vessel. Mr.. McCurdy's
health has improved greatly and it will
not be necessary for him to be accom-
panied by a physician. Nothing has
been stated as to the duration of his
European trip, but it is likely that he
will remain away some months.
Suits Against MeCurdy.
Suits have been instituted by the
fTIT Of "a II
company against former President
Richard A. McCurdy. former General
Manager Robert II. McCuTdy and the
firm of Charles A. Raymond & Co,
formerly general agents of the Mutual,
according to an announcement made by
the board of trustees today.
These suits were begun some time
ago on the advice of Joseph H. Choate.
Mr.. ChOate's formal report was not
made to the trustees until today, but
the suits were begun on a preliminary
expression of his views made by Mr.
ChOate before the completion of his
formal opinion.
The trustees at their meeting today
accepted the designations of Efdngham
ant Fish, and after considering the re-
port of the Armstrong investigating
committee, which was recently submit
ted to the legislature, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That so much of the re-
port of the committee as recommends
remedial legislation be referred to the
president and counsel, with authority
to appear before the Legislature at any
hearing on the bills introduced by the
and to present such facts
and considerations as in their Judgment
may most effectively protect the inter-
ests of the company and its policy
holders"

The Farmer and the Auto.

Some years ago soon alter the au-
tomobiles began to be used throughout
the United States, an agent of a New
York house turned up at village in
central New York. He explained to
an old farmer the virtues of the new
machine, dwelling upon what time
saver it was, and withal how fashion,
able it would be for the farmer to be
able to ride down to the village in ono
of the new tangled machines whenever
he wanted to.
"Why," said the salesman, "when-
ever you go to the postoiIice, bank or
store, everybody will stop and stare at
Farmer Wilson, and pretty soon you
will be the most talked Of man in the
whole country.'
The farmer thought he needed a
cow more than an auto, but finally
agreed to let the agent bring one Of
the machines over. When the agent
returned with it some days later the
farmer took him in charge and car
riel him out to the lot and showed
him fine Jersey COW.
"That' what I bought with the
money I saved up for you," said the
farmer. And without waiting for the
agent to recover from his surprise he
went on: "I flowed I needed the COW
MORN / did the machine, and there
ain It she beaut9'
When the agent recovered his
breath he said:
"You'll look funny riding that cow
to town, won't you9"
"Ya-as," drawled the old farmer
"but I'd look darned sight funnicr
trying to milk an automobile. -
