Charles HARDWOOD, ~ Former reOria
Ull.) Policeman, Develops a
Dangerous Mania.

Peoria. ILL.,, Jan. 29.-CharleS Har-
wood, a former policeman, now violently
insane. entered the police headquarters
Sunday afternoon, and at the point Of a
revolver held up the chief and seven
officers for 15 minutes while he vented
his insane wrath in a deluge of curses.
After threatening to shoot the entire
crowd and falling to shoot because a
snapped cartridge did not discharge, he
backed out of the station and made his
escape.
Within an hour after the holdup of
the station, Harwood appeared near his
home on Bigelow street and entered the
residence Of a Mrs. Montgomery, whom
he knocked down with the butt Of his
gun. Taking a shotgun and a revolver
from the house he barricaded himself In
his own residence a few doors farther
on, and at ten o'clock Sunday night was
standing off a squad of police who sur
rounded the house. Saturday night he
compelled his wife to disrobe and then
drove her into the street, and Sunday
morning he made an attempt on the life
of his children. Chief Kennedy and all
of his officers held up in the station
were unarmed and at the mercy of their
assailant. He was captured later and
locked up.

NO NEWS OF MCCORMICK.
Disappearance Of Contractor and Real
Estate Man Still a Mystery.

Nothing definite has yet been learned con-
corning the fate OF John f. Mccormick. the
missing contractor, whose disappearance
from Baltimore boat has caused his wife
and children so much uneasiness. His
brother, who went to Baltimore yesterday
afternoon, to make Inquiries, as stated in
yesterdays Star, returned last night. He
has conferred with Capt. Boardman. several
times and may have the police officials send
out descriptive circulars asking that the
police in all parts Of the country be on the
lookout for him. Capt. Boardnan has no
idea that the missing man jumped over
board, although his two coats were found In
the s.ateroom on the steamer Alabama
when the steamer reached Norfolk. The
coats have been sent here and delivered to
Mrs. Mccormick.
Members of the family of the missing
man say he was not respondent and that
there was no reason why he should have
taken his life. No message of any kind was
left by the contractor in which he init
mated that he contemplated such a thing
and Capt. Boardman thinks the circum-
stances Indicate that he has disappeared
rather than that he has ended his life. Had
he contemplated disappearing he could
easily have carried an extra coat upon the
boat with him and left his older garment to
make 1t appear that he had jumped over
board The key to the stateroom had dis
appeared, and, the police think, 1t was car
ried from the boat by Mccormick. It is
evident Ii Mccormick did not jump over
board that he made the trip as far as Old
Point as all the tickets sold upon that par
ticular trip of the boat were collected.
James Mccormick, the brother of the
missing man. who made the investigation
In Baltimore, is not satisfied with the re-
suit of his inquiries. He has reached no
conclusion respecting his brothers absence
and may consent to have illustrated circu-
lars sent out with an offer Of reward for
information concerning his whereabouts.
None of the money he had with him when
he left the city has been accounted for
with the exception OF the statement in the
letter that he had lost a considerable por-
ton of it. Friends are certain that he had
money enough with him to last him a year
or more if he has disappeared and that he
will not be forced to seek assistance for
some time. They confidently expect to hear
from him in the near future.

the first question put by Pfalzer's attorney
after the direct examination startled the

LIVE STOCK STATISTICS
CRITICISED IN REPORT OF TIE
KEEP COMMISSION.

The report of the Keep commission on the
Department of Agriculture has been COM
pleted. 1t Is understood that 1t severely
critfcises the method of the Department of
Agriculture In the gathering OF live stock
statistics and that 1t emphaticaiiy states
that unless these statistics are prepared on
some better plan than that recently pursued
1t would be better to discontinue that work
entirely.
When Secretary Wilson was before
congressional committee during the last
session of Congress he stated that the de-
partment In the gathering of these statis-
tics, was careful to give the farmers the
benefit Of the doubt by keeping the statis-
tics down to minimum figures whenever
there was question as to the nsnt
amount. The result of such a policy IS
said to be to show the live stock industry
below what it really is with the result OF
affecting the market price OF the interests
involved.
This statement is said to have surprised
many of those who heard It. and 1t fs fur-
Their stated that the report of the Keep
commission shows that there has been a
practice in the gathering of live stock sta
tistics which results in securing figures far
below those that would represent the real
facts in the case
This method of undertaking the amount
of live stock that Is in the country is also
SAID 10 apply TO some Othef 1orInS VI slauo-
tics, according to the report of the Keep
commission
The report Is looked upon as rejecting
upon the methods of the department. TO
such an extent that the question has peen
raised of the propriety of having subor-
dinate of the department In the person OF
Mr. Pinchot, chief of the bureau of forestry
and a member Of the Keep commission,
sign It.
The fact is, Mr. Pinchot did not sign 1t
in the first instance, and he left the c1ty
after 1t was completed without attaching
his signature. 1t was desired, however, 20
have all the members of the commission
sign the report and 1t was sent to Mr..
Pinchot. 1t is understood that the docu-
ment has been returned to Chairman Keep
but whether it has Mr.. Pinchots signature
Is not known outside the charmed circle
that enjoys the confidence of the commits
sion.
The report will go to the President on
Monday.
