Whether they will be able to turn him

take him to Elkins, w. Va. where he
began his journey. His face was
badly decOmposed and his whole an.
pearance was revolving.
When the presence of the leper in
thls city became known, a crowd gath.
ered about the car and a detail of M.
lice was sent for. The health officials
a1ter a conference decided that the
railroad company must remove him
from the jurisdiction of the citv ond

For many years Mr.. Sage occupied
during the winter an old-fashioned

years later he married Margaret Olivia

most OF his life, and always of extreme

used to drive and walk about New

Keen observer of what many consider
the trivial details of life. Though ex-
tremely shrewd, he always kept inside
the laws limit in his business trans
actions. His even balance and level

ergy as almost to justify a description
that characterized him as "a man |

innate his wealth at this time.

tually acceptable conditions. The
Mexican minister, Senor Gamboa. was
active IN assisting in bringing about
an agreement.
Inc peace commissioners adopted
resolutions thanking the presidents of
the United States and Mexico for their
Intervention.
The Central American war, which
bade fair to involve four or more re-
publlcs in addition to the two origi-
nally concerned. Salvador and Guate-
maIa, began in May with the departure
OF expeditions from Salvador to assist
a Guatemalan revolution under the
leadership of General Toledo. Engage.
ments with varying results were
fought between the insurrectiOnarv
forces and those of the government of
Guatemala until Salvador formally
entered the conflict. A little later a
GuGtemalan force entered Honduras
the result being to array that republic
on the side of Salvador.
From the moment the trouble passed
beyond the phase of an internal dis
turbance the government at Washing
ton set about instituting measures for
the re-establishment of peace. The
cruiser Marblehead was ordered from
Panama to La Libertad, with direc
tlons to report to Leslie Combs. Amer

PRISONERS IN PALACE
Russian Imperial Family Unsafe Outside the Walls Of
PeterhOff-- Feared Entire Army Will Desert
Monarchy in Case of Outbreak

st. Petersburg, June go. An official
denial is given of the report that the
emperor and court are leaving Peter
hof and returning to Tsarskoe.Se
owing to the discovery of a revolution
airy plot among the palace servants.
Peterhof lin reality is much safer for
the imperial family than Tsarskoe-
Selo, being located on gulf, enabling
the imperial yacht to be moored at a
wharf 200 yards from the palace, al
ways available to convey the emperor
and his family to Finland or some
other place of security. There is an
elaborate system of wireless teleg
raphy connecting the palace of Peter
hot with the fortresses OF: Cronstadt,
Hborg and Helsingfors and with the
warships in the. gulf, thus insuring
the emperor against being again cut
of from the outside world, as he was
during the telegraph operators strike
of last fall. ...s,- ..5. T.. ,. =.
Since the revelations that disloy-
atty had invaded even "his majesty's
own regiment, the raeobraiensky
regiment Of the guards, it is asserted
here that nothing would be surpris-
ing General Trepoff, commander OF
the palace, who is personally charged
with protecting the safety of the EN-
peror's person, has redoubled his pre-
cautions. The garrison at Peterhoi
has been strengthened by a guard Of
Circassians and the attachments oil
,Cossacks about the palace have been

confined for the time being to tried

the terrorists have frequently boast.
ed that they had spies. Secret police
! by the hundreds in civilian clothes
throng the parks and streets. The
emperor never drives out beyond the
grounds of the. small palace and the
members of the court are practically
prisoners within it's walls. The prin,
cipal amusement is tennis, but all the
customary gaiety of court life has
vanished. 20
