ALBERS CONSULTS ATTORNEY.
No Announcement Of Action 20 BE Taken
because OF Imprisonment In Nicaragua.

BosToS, March I8.-William S. Albers, an
American citizen, who was released on
January 7 from a prison in Nicaragua after
serving a sentence Of several months on a
charge Of insulting President Zelaya, has
arrived in Boston. To-day he and his at
torney, f. Warehouse, held a conference
and the matter of the Imprisonment was
considered.
Albers is a native Of Iowa, but during the
last ten years has lived in Nicaragua, where
he was the representative Of the Port Limon
Mining Company of Philadel phia. In 1904
he was married to Miss Sadie Cushman OF
HYDE Park, formerly we'll known on the
variety stage, who was with her husband
at the time the affair occurred. just what
action Albers will take has not yet been
decided on.
The trouble started last April, when a
company of N~icaraguan soldiers, headed by
the Mayor OF Jalapa and the CHIEF OF ponce,
appeared at Albers's house at Ocotal,
where he was in charge Of a large planta-
ton. and demended an inspection Of the
premises, in search Of contraband tobacco,
which they alleged they had been informed
was there. Albers refused to permit them
TO enter.
A report was made that Albers had VIC;
lated the public peace resisted arrest and
used language insulting to President Ze-
lava. The matter was under considera-
ton until August %, when Albers was ar
rested and subsequently sentenced to three
years n prison.
The state Department at Washington
began an inquiry and demanded Aiberss
release.
The eunboat Princeton was ordered to
Colon. and there took on board Minister
William Merry, who had been instructed
TO see that Albers was treated fairly. Ne
gotiations followed, which led to the re-
lease of the prisoner.

OMAHA, Neb., March l8.-A clever ruse
on the part OF Sheriff Mcdonald was all
that saved the naoks OF tho eight murdcrcrs
who we're in the Jail last night when 1t was
attacked by the mob.
The Sheriff took the eight without
handouts out of a rear door, where it was
dark, and with only two deputies boldly
walked through the crowd, the murderers
following and the deputies bringing up the
rear.
IF any of you attempts to escape III
point you out to the mob. Mcdonald told
them before eaving the jail. The muir
derers went through the mob safely and
were placed in a room in the Boyd Theatre,
one block from the Jail.
Here they heard the noise Of the mob
when it crashed into the Jail and could hear
the cheers when the doors gave way.
After the mob dispersed the murderers
were returned to their cells, and all but two
were taken to Lincoln to-day. Those two
are now on trial. A small mob continue lily
surrounds the jail and the trouble may
break out again any hour,

HAINES'S TIGER BACK.
s. p. &. AS Retiring President Ret urns IL
10 the Fifth Avenue Jungle.

TO the Fifth Avenue Jungle.
Early in the sos when Edward G.. Gilmore,
manage Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, was
quite a lad a rngtail bob circus in a tent
occupied the present site of the hotel.
One bright spring morning a GROSS between
a Royal Bengal tiger and a very, very spotted
leopard meandered out of his cage in the
tent and polkaed of into the nearby fields
and bushes,
Mr.. Gilmore. without a moments hesita-
ton, seized his rifle mo game ever escaped
him in those halcyon days. and taking
careful aim at something less than 1891
yards he brought down that cross between
a Royal Bengal tiger and a very, very
spotted leopard.
Deacon Haines, later chief mogul OF the
s.. P. C. A, an old crony Of Gilmore, the
mighty warrior, was or the ground IN an
instant. Even then Deacon Haine felt
hat some time in his life he would be good
to dumb and dead beasts, so Gilmore turned
over TO Haines the carcass OF the aforesaid
cross between a Royal Bengal tiger and a
leopard, and Haines when he fulfilled his
mission and became president OF the y +.
c. A., stuffed the beast and made 1t his
chief ornament and warning to all who
visited his p~alatial offices at Twenty-slxth
street and Madison avenue.
Yesterday the beast was returned to the
Fifth Avenue Hotel in a glass case. Haines
is going out o. business as president OF
the S. p. C. A. and he believed it a righteous
act to return the beast to the spot where 1T
first sat up in business and was ruthlessiy
destroyed by the mighty hunter the mayor
Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
1t was placed atop of the big safe, close
to where Elder Villas and Prof. Darling
and Field Marshal Furlong and all the
Ameners can see il and welcome it back
to the spot where fifty years ago it was az
frisky as Mayor Gilmore will be fifty years
from now.

Blank Summonses to ne Kept on Tap for
street Women In the Tenderloin.
A rumor that Inspector Hodgins Of the
Tenderloin had smashed in the doors Of a
disorderly house in Twenty-ninth street
last night was denied by the inspector
himself. He merely had stationed a cop
in front of the place to warn folks to keep
away. The inspector has a new scheme
for suppressing vice in the Tenderloin and
incidentally knocking out professional
bondsmen.
He will apply to-day to several City Magis
trates for blank summonses, some OF which
he will give to his plain clothes men and
some he will keep himself. These sum
monses will be served on women Of the
district that the police may meet on the

on the spot.
If the women do not appear in court they
will be arrested and taken there and the

Against Packers Immunity Plea.

Against Packers Immunity Plea.
CHICAGO, March 18. -Attorney-Genera
william H. Moody. who has tarried in
Chicago a full week awaiting his turn to
argue the immunity contention set up by
the packers in their trial before Judge j.
Otis Humphrey, will have a chance to give
his views next Monday. The adjournment
to-day was taken until Monday.
Attorney William X. Haynes. who began
his argument this afternoon. will prob
ably consume all Of Monday forenoon
in his presentation Of the packers con-
tention. Attorney John S. Miller may
follow Mr.. Haynes briefly, speaking on
the recent decision handed down by the
United States Supreme Court in the tobacco
case.
Mr.. Moody will then follow. closing the
arguments. He will speak particularly on
the ruling in the tobacco case, contending
that the packing corporations cannot gain
immunity and insisting that the individuals
in this case are not entitled to immunity,
inasmuch az no subpoena was served and
none of the statements was made under
oath.
In expounding this doctrine Mr.. Moody
will lay down the broad construction that
no one can come within the immunity pro-
vision Of the Federal statutes without first
submitting to a subpoena process and sub
sequently making oath to the
given.
Attorney Moritz Rosenthal was frequently
interrupted by Attorney-General Moody
during the formers argument to-day and
on several occasions the retorts were rather

.LUBYS EASILY
SHUT OUT
Bennington Won Saturday in
ErrOrIeSS Game.
VISITORS COULDN'T BAT
EiIleen and MCGUIRE Had ID
Strike-0uts Only One Luby
Saw First Base.

Had the members Of the Luby Ath-
letic club baseball team that played
here Saturday afternoon been capable
OF batting out few hits, the game at
the Athletic field wouldn't have been
so bad, but inasmuch as they didn't
knock but one ball to the oulneld, fail.
ed to make a single safe hit and never
had but one man on brst base, the con-
test was woefully one sided.
Bennington played an errorless game.
The battery did more than half the
work, killeen and Mcclure having IA
strike-outs to their credit. Killeep
pitched the first six innings and hung
up eight. Bennington had scored
three runs and as the Lubys didn't
seem disposed to make things at all
interesting, Manager Corbett thought
that perhaps a change of pitcher would
enliyen things a little. Mcclure ac.
cordipgly went into the box. Paddy
was even less satisfactory to the Lubys
than Killeen, for he struck out six of
the nine men who faced him. The
score:
