ESCAPE OF STOWAWAY
JOSEPH wuL1Axs DEPARTS
HHoK SCHOONER BAKER. I
Police ON the Lookout---Captain Mohx
Makes Denial Of Charges Of
Cruelty.

Joseph Williams. q native OF the West
Indies, who came to this city as stow
away, escaped from the schooner upon
which he was being held. pending his re-
turn to Trinidad. at about / o'clock this
afternoon. The engineer OF the boat has
tened to the fourth precinct station house
and reported the matter to the police The
latter sent out general alarm to all the
precincts of the city.
After being returned to the schooner yes
terday from the fifth precinct station house
Williams was put to work under guard.
What to do with Williams was q problem
Capt. Mohr was endeavoring to solve this
morning. in view of the fact that his
schooner will not sail from this city for IF
teen days.
Capt Mohr consulted United States Com
missioner Arson 8. Taylor as to what he
should do: 1t was explained that when It
sails from here the schooner will carry
cargo OF coal to Boston.
Doubt as to Destination.
1t Is not known where the boat will be
sent from the Hub. Consequently the duty
Of returning Williams to Trinidad. Capt.
Mohr. finds. is difficult one to fulfill.
The schooner Baker Is lying at the wharf
ing cargo Of asphalt from the Island OF
Trinidad. The black, gunmy substance Is
in semd-liquid staate when taken from the
lake in Trinidad and loaded on the vessel.
AS fast as cargo Is taken from the lake
the additional material. 1t Is said, oozes up
from the bottom. and In a short time the
hole made by the removal Of the seven
hundred or eight hundred tons is filled. The
Baker Is the first vessel to arrive here
with asphalt aboard in several months.
1t was aboard the Baker that Williams Is
charged with having slowed himself just
before the vessel sailed from Trinidad for
this port and when he was turned over to
the police as a stOwaway upon the arrival
Of the vessel here he made charges OF
cruelty against Captain George Mohr and
the latters officers. These charges Captain
Mohr denies absolutely. He says that Will
liams was not shanghaied and that the YES
sell was twenty-four hours at sea when the
stowaway was found hidden away up in
the bow Of the schooner. He was asked
what he could do and he said he could do,
anything, but when put to work 1t was
found he could be of no use. He was bet
ter treated on the trip than were the MEM
bers OF the regular crew. Captain Mohr
states He had the. same food as was
served on the cabin table
On the arrival Of the vessel here, Captain
Mohr says. knowing that he would be SUBJ
tect to a heavy fine II he allowed Williams
to land. he detained him aboard the vessel
and he was not put in irons until he as
saulted the first mate with Delaying pin.
The mate knocked him down In self-de-
Tense. Captain Mohr claims to have treated
the man well. and. as stated. emphatically
denies the charge of cruelty brought
against him by Williams. II.

THE smALLNEss OF n SMALL MAN.

Secretary Shaw did 4 mighty small
thing when he sought to convey the
impression that he had come to Iowa
to speak against Cummins after Il con-
ferred with the president" But he was
caught at it, and the president made
public announcement that Shaw was
campaigning on his personal account.
Then the smallness Of a small man was
emphasized in Shsuw's excuse for the
trick he had tried to play.
''why did you say in your telegram
that you had decided to come to Da-
venport after seeing the PRESIDENT" he
was asked by Davenport reporter.
ut was like this" he carefully re-
piled. washington correspondents
had been wiring reports that 1 had
quarreled with the president; that we
were not on good terms; that there
was friction or whatever you may call
it. So put into my reply to the Lin
coin Club at Davenport the statement
that had consulted with the president
for the purpose Of showing that l was
not on bad terms with the president
that we had not quarreled."
This is the picture of the man who
has succeeded Alexander Hamilton.

HumoRs OF A CAMPAIGN.

Candidate Perkins writing in his own
newspaper after Shaw's telegram to
Davenport:
Does the significance of that sink
in? On his own account Secretary
shaw did not feel warranted in coming
out to Iowa. But after comforting with
the president he has decided to come.
What does that mean? 1T means that
President Roosevelt likes the sort of
speeches Secretary Shaw has been de-
livering in Iowa, and wants more of
them delivered. Incidentally it means
that President Roosevelt Is interested
in the campaign now going on in Iowa,
and that his sympathy is not with
Governor Cummins."
The presidents private secretary,
making an authorized statement to the
Associated Press:
Secretary Shaw's visit to Davenport
is, of course, on his own responsibility.
The president has sent NO message by
anybody to Iowa republicans, and has
not interfered, is not now interfering,
and will not interfere in the Iowa fac
tional contest or that of any other
