CAPTURE TWENTY OF THE GANG
ONLY SIX or GANG WHICH MUIR
DERED CONSTABLE NOW AT
LARGE.

| Ellsworth, Wis, July 17.-With the
local jail overcrowded by the captives
made by the posses seeking for mem
bers Of the band of Italians who MUIR
dered Constable Isace last Friday, the
searchers have relaxed their efforts
and many of the deputies have return
ed to their homes. Twenty members
OF the gang now are behind the bars,
leaving but six at liberty, and these
six are being watched for in the varl-'
GUS towns and cities along rivers and
railroads south of Prescott. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that all those directly
concerned in the murder have been ar
rested.
Extreme terror has seized the pris-
oners, augmented by the reports given
them by the last two captives, brought
in late last night from River Falls,
that the whole twenty-six when cap
tured are to be hanged for the death
! of the constable. They can speak but
little English and have no conception
of the formalities of trial by jury.
Offer $40 for Freedom.
Three of the men taken Saturday
night attempted to bride their captors
to set them free, one offering SIS and
the other two $40 apiece to be allowed
to go. Fears of wholesale suicide on
account of this terror are entertained
by the authorities, and close watch
is being maintained to prevent any
such acts.
1t now is regarded as probable that
the hearings on the charge of murder
will be held next week. and it is
thought possible that Saroguse, who
declared when captured that the con-
stable was killed in self-defense, will
plead guilty in an effort to shield his
companions.
Found Around Camp Fire.
Saturday night a posse, which was
travelling on handcar along the Bur
lington road, came upon camp fire,
| around which five of the gang were
sitting. The posse opened fire on the
fugitives, who Immediately took to
their heels and scattered. These same
i've Italians were captured yesterday
morning at the farm of Joe Tillguard,
one mile from Diamond Bluff and
about twelve miles below Prescott.
They made no resistance, and al
though opposed by only Tillguard suf-
fered themselves to be locked up in a
granary until the sheriff arrived. The
fugitives were on the verge of exhaus-
ton from hunger, exposure and fright,
and appeared glad that the hunt was
over.
Beg for Their Lives.
The two men captured at River
Falls last evening offered no resist
ance, simply begging for their lives.
A determined search for the remain
ing Italians was made yesterday aft
ernoon, several posses taking hand
cars and running far down the Bur-
lington road. No one was seen, how
ever.

Eveleth, Mimi, July 18.-Victor Ar
gatone, shift boss at the Mountain Iron

to death in an ore mill while his fellow
workers stood by, unable to do any
thing to save his life.

ed to flow Before the other miners
could realize what was happening the
foreman was securely locked in the
deadly embrace of the flowing ore.
For fully two hours the miners la

the terrible pressure, nearly every
bone in his body being crushed when
it came from the other end of the mill.

TRY THEM ALL AT ELLSWORTH.
Authorities Take Last of Italians From
Prescott.

Red Wing, Mimi, July 19.-The five
Italians held at Prescott for the muir
der of Constable Isace were not given
their preliminary hearing yesterday as
had been planned. 1t was decided that
it would be expedient to take them to
Ellsworth, the county seat, for the en-
tire proceeding. Consequently the
county attorney and sheriff took them
to that place yesterday.
There is no excitement at Prescott
to-day. Business, for the first time
since the murder, is being conducted
in the usual manner. Mrs. lsace, wife
of the late constable, who was report
ed at the point of death, is recovering
and is beyond all danger.
With the two who were taken at
Maiden Rock, twenty-four Italians now
are captives. This number, it is be-
lieved, includes the entire gang.

THAW WILL NOT Be
PLACED ON TRIAL
WILL BE DECLARED INSANE AND
SENT TO HOSPITAL FOR GRIM
lNAL INSANE.
EVIDENCE AGAINST OIL men
NO INDICTMENTS IN CLEVELAND
AS COURT HAS NO JURlsDIC-

New York, July 19.-The World
says:
Harry Thaw will never be placed
on trial for the murder of Stanford
White An application will be made
for the appointment of commission
to inquire into his sanity. There is no
doubt that he will be declared insane
and sent to the hospital for the crimi-
nal insane at Matteawan.'
This authoritative statement was
made to the World last night immedi-,
after the conclusion of a conference at
the Hotel Lorraine by one who had
been present
Mentally irresponsible.
Mrs William Thaw met Judge Oh
colt and insisted upon his resuming
the defense of her son, which she said
he could direct in any manner he saw
fit.
Mr.. Olcott gave Mrs. Thaw infor,
nation he had collected which con-
vinced her that her son was mentally
irresponsible on the night he killed
White. Ht said that a number of the
greatest alienists in the country who
had been retained by the defense are
convinced that the young man was ir-
rational.
Jerome Will Not Object.
District Attorney Jerome is not ex-,
pected to interpOse any serious obJec,
ton to the appointment of commits
sion to inquire into Harry Thaw's san
ity Some of the alienists retained by
the district attorney have reported to
him their belief that Thaw is mental
~ irresponsible. Many friends of
Stanford White asked the district at
torney to consent to such disposition
of the case rather than have the no.
toriety of a trial. .
1t was reported to-day that Thaw
had been under the close scrutiny OF
an alienist, disguised as a prison at
tendant, ever since the possibility was
raised of an insanity plea being urged.
Call Halt on Prosecution.
Counsel for Harry K. Thaw made an
unusual and unexpected move yester-
day when a writ of prohibition was Sc
cured from Justice Blanchard, in the
supreme court, restraining the district
attorney and the July grand jury from
taking further evidence under oath
against the prisoner. Counsel for
Thaw allege that through the illegal
use of grand jury subpoenas the dis
trict attorney is summoning all posi-
BILE witnesses to his office. putting
them under oath there and taking de-
positions which may be detrimental to
the prisoners interest.

Vigorous Prosecution Will Begin at
Once on Evidence Adduced.
Cleveland. Ohio, July 19-The fed
eral grand jury here which has been
investigating alleged violations of the
interstate commerce laws and anti
railroad rebate laws adjourned yester-
day afternoon without bringing any in
dictments. The investigation was di-
rected particularly toward the Stand
ard Oil company and the Lake Shore
Railroad company, and was the result
of testimony of witnesses before the
interstate commerce commission here
recently, when evidence of alleged re-
batting by the Lake Shore in favor OF
the Standard Oil company had been
given.
Without Jurisdiction.
The failure to return indictments. it
is officially stated, was due to the fact
that the court here is without jurisdic-
tion of the alleged offenses. The evil
dence secured here is to be transfer
red to the federal officials at Chicago,
where the cases are to be prosecuted.
Following the discharge of the grand
jury District Attorney Sullivan gave
out the following statement:
Valuable Evidence Adduced.
Evidence valuable to the govern
ment in any prosecution which may be
commenced elsewhere has been adj
duced before the grand jury and will
probably at once be put into force and
effect in the proper jurisdiction, prob
ably Chicago, by the attorney general.
"The attorney general has directed
that the summing up of the evidence
taken before the present grand jury,
the preparation Of the case and the
conduct of the trial in Chicago will be
assumed by myself, with the help Of a
specially appointed assistant, assistant
attorney general and the United States
attorney In Chicago"

TO TRAIN WORKERS
DR. RICE APPEALS FOR AN EDU-
 GATED MINISTRY.
At Midweek Prayer Service Methedist Minister Speaks of the school for
 Christian workers fin Nash

"The great body of Methodism is
 today being led by a comparatively
 small number of men. Of the 5000
 preachers in the southern church, not
 more than 1000 are educated ahd train !. ed for their calling. Only those are capable and eficient to lead and to direct the work of the church.
 This statement was made by Rev. |J. A. R'ice. D. D.. of the Courst Street
 Methodist Church. at the midweek prayer meeting service last light Let us take the State of South Carolina, for instance" he said. lover there. in the smaller places, we find that the preachers in the church are poorly equipped for their work. Their libraries consist of a few books. the Bible, the Life of John Wesley, few tracts and that is all. As a conse- quence, the preachers in South Caro- l lima are teaching their people the teachings of 200 years ago. They are out of touch with the times and are therefore fndifferent.''
 Dr. Rice was speaking on the sub 1ect of the Training School for Christ ian workers, established in Nashville. Tenn. by the last ouadrennial Con vention of the Methodist Church. The need of training in the forward
 march of religion was the poin in his theme. The topic was to have been taken up by Rev J. E. McCulloch. President of the Training School. but the latter was called from tlfe city by telegram yesterday afternoon. Dr. Rice outlined the nature of the work being taken up in the school the teacher reprebents There were two purposes in the founding of the school. he said. The first was the proper training of young women for the posi- tions of deaconesses in the Methodist church. In large cities. he said, 1t was practically an impossibility to success fully carry on the work of the church without the deaconess. The church could use 300 deaconesses now If it had them.
 Apother object of the training
 school. was to arrange for an annual gathering of ministers of the church in sort of institute. for the purpose of gaining information and inspira- ton. It was. in connection with this aspect of the problem that he made his statement in regard to the relatively small number of ministers who are properly trained to carry on the work of the church
 The preacher, he declared, must
 have opportunity to better himself and to keep in touch with the march of human events. He must have some opportunity to constantly improve himself. so that he may be able to lead his people.
