vote for President Roosevelt's prin-
ciples in the next presidential election,
have been received by several New
Orleans manufacturing firms. The cir
cular, which is claimed to have been

THE American manufacturers who
vote the Roosevelt ballot in the next

from South American trade.
President Roosevelt has said in
some recent speeches that the Latin
American countries are bound to dis
appear for two reasons, first because
they are Latin and second because

PRISONER ESCAPED.
Town Marshal at ToIIey Charged With
Permitting IL.

Mlnot, N. D., Oct. 10.-Did John w.
Rogers, village marshal of Tolley, let
Julius M. Johnson, an alleged blind
pigger, go free or did Johnson escape
in spite of the efforts of Rogers to
hold him.
This is the point at issue in the case
Of the state against John w. Rogers
which came before Judge Davis on
a preliminary hearing this morning.
Rogers is one of the men who took
part in the raid Of four alleged blind
piggers at Tolley about three weeks
ago. Three of the men were landed
in the Ward county Jail, but the fourth
man who was placed in the custody
of Rogers got away.
Rogers says that Johnson wanted
to say goodbye to his wife, that he
took Johnson to his home and allowed
him to enter the house and say fare
well to Mrs. Johnson.
According to Rogers story Johnson
disappeared through the back door,
and when he, Rogers, went to the
house, it was locked, and the prisoner
had fled.
Rogers was arrested on complaint
of Mic Rustad, court bailiff, who ac-
cuses Rogers of wilfully and felonious-
ly allowing the prisoner to escape.

The The Smuggling Yacht
Was Finally Taken
THE FRoLlc SEIZED AT PRoVI.
DENcE TODAY.
The Yacht Had Left Newfoundland
With Thirty three Chinese on Board
and Succeeded in Evading the Off.
cials Two Weeks.

Providence, r. l., Oct. 10-After
having evaded the United States GUS
toms and immigration officers for
more than two weeks the schooner
yacht, Frolic, which left Pacebtia, N.
f., with a cargo of contraband Chi
nese immigrants, was boarded In
Providence river early today and con-
fiscated in the name of the United
States government.
Two Portuguese members of the
crew were placed under arrest, they
being the only persons found on board
the boat.
Two men were arrested on sus-
picion Of being concerned in the
smuggling of the Chinese into this
country, while seventeen Chinese, be-
lieved to have been passengers on the
Frolic, were also arrested.
The Frolic entered the harbor in
broad day light, anchoring on the west
side of Providence river at Harbor
junction at 10 o'clock yesterday.
Despite the vigilance of the coast
guards and the revenue cutters from
Eastport, Me-, to Cape Hatteras, the
schooner came up the harbor without
attracting any attention, those who
saw her taking her for a fishing
schooner.
Close upon the arrest of the Chi
nese and the confscation of the
schooner, came the arrest of two
white men found in the vicinity, on
suspicion of having been concerned in
the smuggling. Just how many Chi
nese were on board the Frolic when
she left the Newfoundland coast is
not definitely known, although it was
reported there were thirty three un-
lawful passengers.
A systematic search of the Chinese
quarter of the city will be made by
the police today.
