 New York. Feb. s.--John F. Wallace. former Chief Engineer of the Panama Canal, gave to the Associated Press the following statement:
 Tn justice to Secretary Taft and myself desire to correct an erroneous report which has been given forth by the press of my examination before the Senate Committee in Washington on Tuesday.
 Tn the press report of this exam ination 1t was said that I said Secre- tary Taft at the Manhattan Hotel in- terview in New York last June had almost cursed me.
 Senator Morgan in one of his ques- tions asked If the Secretary showed temper at that instant. My answer was Yes followed by the general re- mark that his denunciation almost crushed me, or words to that effect, referring to the effect of his denuncia- ton and not to the language used by him.
 When the published press report was brought to my attention I was absolutely at loss to determine in what way the misunderstanding oc- cured until my secretary, who after ward examined the official record, in- formed me as to how the error evident ly occurred on the part of the press re- porterE.,ss-5es. ge-
 Tt may be plainly seen that this err TOT was due to the similarity between the words 'crushed' and cursed I therefore earnestly desire the -Associ- ated Press to, correct the matter"

K.," the witness said: Tt has no re- semblance whatever to the other pieces of handwriting admitted to be speci- ments of Colonel Mann's handwriting"
 MT Hayes testimony on cross-exanf- ination was more favorable to Colonel Mann than was his direct evidence yes- terday. Today he said tho TX" of the 70. K" resembled letter TX" in a specimen of Colonel Mann's writing. but he was not willing to swear that they were written by the same per- son. @4

REAcTpNARIEs IN CONTROL

St Petersburg. Feb. Scheduling the futility of open agitation at present among the workmen. and in order to avoid the fate of it's three predecessors. the workmen's council has formally disbanded and has published an am nouncement that 1t will not resume it's deliberations until the forces of reac- tfon have ceased their activity. The revolutionary leaders have now con- centrated their energies in preparing for an uprising in the Spring and in acts of terroism.
 The revelations of the Novoc vremya regarding the smuggling of arms into Finland from Sweden have redoubled the vigilance of the guards on the Rus- sian-Finnish frontier and they were rewarded yesterday by the capture of two wagons loaded with rifles which were on their way to St. Petersburg.
 Considerable shipments of dynamite have recently been seized by the police who are now in such close touch with the conspirators that the latter fre- quently are forced to abandon bombs.
 A peasant yesterday fished out three bombs from the Neva and a party of children while coasting at Ninji Novgorod found in the snow box fill ed with bombs which exploded, killing one child and mortally wounding an- other.

 Paris, Feb. S.-Opinion concerning the progress and final optcome of the Algeciras conference has become rather more pessimistic here in consequence in semi official declarations that neither France or Germany will recede regard ing the question of the Moroccan police Diplomats here strongly support the French view regarding the maintenance of the position of France in Morocco, arguing that France must reject in the most energetic manner any proposal for international control as otherwise she will lose everything for which she has been contending. It Is considered that a point has been reached where further concessions on the French side are in- possible.
 The other powers have secured every point claimed thus far, including the integrity of Morocco and commercial equality, and now Frances turn has come to claim her rights which were recognized in principle befrre the Con- gress opened

SEARCH FOR

Sheriff Crawford Offers Assistance
 to Florida Authorities.
Sot Believed That the Criminals Can Be Landed In JaIi In safety If Apprehended As Citizens Are
 Aroused.

Dothan, Feb. S.-(Special. )--News reaching Dothan from Cottonwood to- night is that so far there have been no new developments in the tragedy which occurred there Tuesday night in which J. M. Christmas, his wife. and child were murdered.
 Telephone communication between here and Cottonwood Is impaired on account of the bad weather at present prevailing, but residents of that section who came here today say that the criminals have not been cap tured. In fact there does not seem to have been discovered as yet any very definite clue upon which the officers of the law can base their search.
 The murderers evidently laid their plans with much care and took every precaution against detection. Sheriff Crawford of, Houston County said late this afternoon that the home or the Christmas was across the Florida line, and did not therefore come within his Jurisdiction. He has, however, notified the authorities at Marianna, Fla, that he is willing and anxious to assist in any manner possible.
 Wrath of People Great.
 Vague and meagre as is the news reaching here from the Cottonwood neighborhood, one thing Is made un- nistskably evident that is that the pcop1G -DL huAL fAOCdtlly are afOASSQ dS they never have been before. Their faces are dark and their words ominous as they gather in knots and discuss the ripple murder in all of its horrii- ble details. Today they raised the re- ward previously offered to fifteen hundred, and the expressing thought of every citizen there is of the crime and the probable whereabouts of those who committed it.
 On the surface the community is calm but 1t Is calm that bodes no good, to the persons who slew Mir Christmas. his wife and child. There is among the men of Cottonwood and It's vicinity quiet unrelaxing deter mination to find the rugitives and wha- the result will be when they are in custody, oans only be gueSsed. but there seems but little probability that they will have the opportunity of ap- bearing before an earthly bar of jus tice. .. .a

StIII Nothing is Heard from Jury In

Greenville, Feb. S.-(Special. )-The defendant, Dan Stallings, and his att torneys. as well as citizens generally, are still anxiously awaiting the yer dict of the jury which seems as far from a decision as ever. As the time goes by without a verdict the. convic- ton grows stronger that there will be a mistrial.
 The weather for the past two days has been so very bad that but very few people has ventured to town even to learn the result of the trial. How ever the interest is still high. Tn call ing this adjourned term of the court Ju1ge Richardson specified that the limit was two weeks, and that time will expire at midnight Saturday night and the supposition Is that in case of mistriaI the full limit will be con sumed. Judge Miller has the reputa- tion of holding his iuries until verdict is reached, or the term for which the court was ordered expires

ADVISED BY LINCOLN NOT TO

Mahlon Shaaber, Reading, Pa, who
carried the department colors at the
head of the Pennsylvania veterans in
the recent G. A. R. parade, and who
was one of the most conspicuous men
in the whole line on account of his
superior height, was Lincoln's per-
sOnal friend.
Shaaber was known as "the tallest
man in the Army of the Potomac" He
is one Of the two tallest men in the
G. A. r.
He was II years old when he en-.
listed. While his regiment was pas
sing through Washington City in re-
view, President Lincoln noticed Pri-
vate Shaaber on account of his height
and called him out of the line, ques-
tioning him closely and introducing
himself as "Old Abe"
President Lincoln gave me much adj
vice regarding the manner in which 1
should conduct myself while in the
army" said comrade Shaaber to Daily
News reporter.
"He cautioned me especially about
avoiding intoxicants, and said he was
afraid 1 would not stand the service, but
he put his lone arms about me when he
babe me goodbye and told me to call and
see him when in Washington. l did so
and received a pressing invitation to dine
with him in spite of my shabby clothes.

PROHIBITION FOR OKLAHOMA.

Constitutional prohibition for the new
state is almost certain. The provision
for prohibition for half of Oklahoma as
enacted by Congress in the Statehood bill
has almost settled the question for the
whole state Those who favor prohibi-
ton consider that it must be state wide
in order to be effective, while those who
must submit to prohibition the rest of
the state must undergo the same priva-
ton.
Prohibition sentiment is growing rapid
ly The Prohibition party, the anti-sa-
loon league the w. G. T. u. and all
similar organizations are working in
harmony.
