FINDS FOR NAGEL.
Illinois Supreme Court Reverses
the Ruling in Local
Case.
ENTITLED TO HIS LIBERTY
Attorneys for Prisoner in Rock Island
Jail Accused of Murder Are
Upheld.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 17-(Special.)
The supreme court today rendered
an opinion reversing the judgment of
the circuit court of IroQuois county
and ordering release from the state
penitentiary at Joliet of Samuel New
ly, who was sentenced in December,
1905, for burglary and larceny.
Newly was arrested in March, 1905,
and bound over by a justice of the
peace to the grand jury and sent TO
jail He was indicted by the grand
jury and again sent to Jail.
Two Judges Died.
Judge Charles B. Parsney of the
circuit court died March 81, and Judge
Robert w. Hirscher June %, and
Judge Marshall convened court July
10, but made an order there should be
no petit jury. Two terms of court
passed, and in December, 1905, Newly
was convicted and sentenced. The SUI
preme court holds the conviction in
within four months of the date of the
continuance of his case in March.
Similar Order in Nngei Case.
The supreme court also rendered a
similar order in the case of Nagle
against the people, an appeal from
Rock Island, where the prisoner was
not tried within the time specified by
law.
With reference to this decision,
Adair Peasants and H. A. Weld, at
torneys for William Nagel, say that in
view of the fact that the proceedings
i'll the supreme court had only reached
the stage of motion for leave to file
a petition for writ of habeas corpus,
they are not disposed to interpret this
as a complete victory. although it may
be. However. it means, at least, that
they have ground for a hearing in the
court, and that such hearing has been
accorded them.

BAKERIES ARE VERY UNCLEAN

IN LOCATIONS WHERE CLEAN
Illness WAS AN IMPossIBILITY
IN SOME BAKERIES BREAD
WAS kNEADED WITH FEET.

Berlin, Aug. 23.-The government
medical department has issued a re-
port on the sanitary condition of the
Prussian bakeries and slaughter
houses to which the newspapers are
giving sensational prominence, one of
them using the caption America in
Prussia"
The report sets forth that many of
the butchering establishments were
found in very unclean condition.
Some of them were located i'm dark
cellars, where cleanliness was impos-
sible and others had no facilities for
the employees to wash themselves.
The government inspectors found
particularly Objectionable conditions in
the bakeries.
In one town boys kneaded with their
feet and one bakery was occupied by
cats and hens. In another town the
bakers oven served ad interim as a
goose pen. In many places the baz-
cries were found in proximity to un-
sanitary appurtenances of the house.
One baker admitted that his floor and
watts were scrubbed only once a year.

Washington, Aug. 23-The fining of

which will be put in operation as soon

started Assistant Superntendent John
A. Holmes of his bureau on a tour of
inspection of the largest postoflices of

HELLO GIRLS STRIKE
GIRLS IN CHICAGO OFFICE WENT

The Cause Of the Strike Was an Order
to Enter the Office Through the Rear
Door-GrIs Objected to Dark Pas

Chicago, Aug. 20. Three hundred
and fifty telephone girls employed in
the central exchange of the Chicago
Telephone Co, struck today and 1000
telephones in the business district are
out of commission. The cause of the
strike was an issued order by the COM
pany directing the girls to enter the
building through a rear door, which in
order to reach they were compelled
to go through a passageway 100 feet
long. The girls declared that the pas
sageWay is muddy even in the daytime
and dark, Shiny and slippery at night.
There are three saloon entrances on
the alley and the girls declared thar
they are annoyed by the loiterers about
these places. Their demand that the
order relating to the rear door be
changed, was refused by the company,

ROOT OUT OF SIGHT.
Secretary of State is Enjoying a Trip
q Through the Straits.

Washington, Aug. Secretary
Root who is on his way to the straits
of Magellan, probably will not be
heard from again until ne reaches
Punta Arenas, the only stop he is to
make i'm the straits The distance from
Bahia Blanca the port from which
Secretary Root embarked, Aug. 20, to
Punta Arenas is about 1000 miles and
1T is expected that the Charleston, will
reach the latter place about Aug. %.
The original schedule for Secretary
Rnpt's trip had Aug 80 fixed as the
dase When he would arrive i'm Valpar-
also, Chile. 1t was then thought that
the American secretary of state would
board Chilean warship of light
draught at Punta Arenas and make
his way up the Chilean coast along
the inland passage. This is too shoal
for the accommodation of the Charles
ton, which was to sail outside the is
lands, skirting the Chilean coast.
1t is not known by the state de-
partment whether the disaster in Chile
has changed the plans for Mr.. Roots
trip on a Chilean man of war In case
he remains on the Charleston he will
doubtless arrive in Valparaiso later
than Aug. 30 as the outside trip is
much. longer.

CONDUCTOR
CREgI4.TED

h
1or;
Terrible Death on tnGnlo4l
N. Railroad.
MYSTERY is UNEXPLAINED
CONDUCTOR FELLOWS THOUGHT
TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED IN
A WAY CAR BY TRAMPS WHO
SET THE CAR ON FIRE TO HIDE
THE CRIME.

Williston, N. D., Aug: 23.-George
Fellows, one of the oldest conductors
on the Great Northern, met his death
this morning about O'clock in a most
distressing manner. He was con-
ductor of the local, which left Glas-
gov for Williston yesterday.
AT Bainville, the board was out for
orders After getting the orders he
took them to the engineer who read
them and then pulled out. Fellows
stood by the train until it was we'll in
motion and then swung on.
AS the train neared Snowdon, the
next town after leaving Bainville, and
only about seven miles distant, the en-
gineer noticed a car on fire.
The train was stopped and the rear
end of the train cut off. The rest of
the train was taken to Spowdon as
fast as possible to get water but on
the arrival there the engineer saw that
1T would be necessary to get the car
off the main line in order to keep the
main track clear so the burning car
was pulled in to the side track and the
section man and his crew were aroused
to help put out the fire.
When the fire was nearly out it was
discovered that a body was lying near
one end of the car and it was supposed
to be that of some hobo until the head
brakeman had made his way back to
the rear of the train, when a eonsulta-
tion with the rear brakeman revealed
the fact that Conductor Fellows was
missing.
The body is burned to crisp and It
would be impossible to identify Fell
lows from the remains i'm the car.
1t is utterly impossible to conceive
of how the fire might have started ex-
cept by foul means.
IT is thought that Fellows went to
the way car and was getting the ma
terial ready for unloading at Snow
don, and while thus engaged was kill
ed by tramps and the car fired to COW
er up the crime.
Fellows was a frugal man and al
ways had some money with him and it
was also right after pay day, which
may have induced some one to commit
the crime to get his earnings.
Fellows was about so years old and
had been in the employ of the Great
Northern for about twelve years He
leaves a wife and several children to
mourn his loss. They reside in Will
liston. His remains will probably be
brought to Williston this evening on.

Many Want Their Discharges - The
Tartar-Armenian Troubles Are More
Serious Than Suspected by the Out
side World Dispatches Censored.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 29.-The Asso-
ciated press learns by mail that the
strictest censorship is now exercised
over press dispatches In Caucasia to
conceal the true state of affairs, both
regarding the true inwardness of the
Tartar Armenian warfare and the fer
mentation among the Russian troops
in the garrisoned towns of Trans-Cau-
casia.
The correspondent of the Associated
press was not permitted to telegraph
many items of news and in other cases
the censor would only accept his dis
patches when supported by an official
version Of the affairs they reported
The Armenian Tartar situation is
worse than is known to the outside
world. Almost all the Russian mill
tary units are affected and even the
cossacks are rebelling against doing
police duty. The latest mutiny is that
of the Poitova cossacks, who several
days ago at Tifis, formally demanded
to be relieved from police duty and
asked for the discharge Of those who
had served over three years. The en-
tire regiment was disarmed and con-
fined IN the barracks under guard
Another version Of the Dashlagar
affair, In which d number of officers
were killed, is to the effect that the
sailors Of the Black sea fleet implicated

ZION ohoWn ny le&an.
Fort Worth Tex, Aug. 23.-Clarence
Ousley, editor of the Fort Worth Rec
ord, and one of the. most thorough stu
dents of the race question in the south,
has written an open letter to President
Roosevelt on the projected abandon
ment of Fort Brown because the white
people refused to receive the negro
troops on terms of social equality in
which he reviews the incident and
concludes:
While not so designed, its effect is
to put a hellish lust in the minds of
the millions of negro brutes who are
no more comparable to the intelligent
negro you have met than the best of
the race today is comparable to the
sayages of Africa.
Those negroes of whom I speak
and whom you do not know constitute
the vast majority of the 100000 liv-
ing in our back yards, and they are
absolutely Incapable of reason. So
cial equality to their minds means un-
speakable crime. For every aspiring
and decent negro who Sees the door
OF hope which you vainly imagine you
are holding open to the race, 10000
negroes see only the embrace of a.
white virgin. Cut off your rations,
drive our men out of the house of
their fathers as an atonement for slav-
cry, but don't make our wives and
daughters victims of a false phfloso-
ply and partisan regime
You have proved your greatness in
many achievements and like to think
you are honest. Butt you are not in
fallible and you cannot perform mira
cles."
