FARMER SUES THIEF.
WANTS $4,000 FOR ACTING AS
TARGET.
John Wipf Captured Burglar, Re-
fused to BE Bribed Into Releasing
Him, and Now Brings Unique Suit
Execute Suicide Pact.

Cnarmed and unaided, John Wipf, a
wealthy farmer living near Omaha, pur-
sued burglar in the face of a rain of
bullets. captured him, spurned his offer of
81 400 to be set free and turned him
over to the authorities. Later Wipf be-
gan a suit for $1,000 damages against the
burglar because of injuries inflicted by his
bullets. The case is considered unique in
the legal annals of any State. Wipf, who
owns a large farm seven miles from
Omaha, was awakened one night by a
noise in the kitchen. Partially robing him
self, he tip-toed downstairs without taking
the precaution to provide himself with a
firearm. As he opened the door leading
from the sitting room to the kitchen he
saw the form of man disappearing
through a window. Shouting at the man
to stop, Wipf rushed to the window, leap
ed to the ground and began pursuit. He
had gone but a short distance, however,
before the thug ordered him to stop on
pain of death. Wipf's only reply was to
continue approaching and a second later
a bullet grazed the farmers temple. He
was stunned for a moment, but soon re-
covered his equilibrium and kept up the
pursuit. A rod or more away the burglar
again turned and fired, the bullet this
time striking one of Wipf's fingers. The
latter steadily gained on the housebreaker,
who continued firing in his direction, un-
til he overlook him near fence. Wipf
marched him back to the house, where he
bound him hand and foot with piece OF
clothesline, ordered the hired man to hitch
team to the buggy and started for town
with his prisoner.

$50 MURDERED FOR $500, 900.
Steamer Sirio Sunk by Crew, Who
Looted Strong Box of Gold.

Evidence tending to prove conclusively
that robbers sacrificed the lives of 100
persons and wrecked the big trans-Atlan-
tic steamer Sirio off Cartagena, Spain, in
order to steal 100000 has been discov-
cred. The strong box of the steamer was
uncovered in the wreckage and opened. 1t
was found to be empty, although hermet-
ically sealed when discovered. A ire
mendous sensation has been caused oy
the discovery. The secret service agents
of the government intimate that members
of the steamers crew are under suspicion
and that arrests are likely to follow. Inc
assistance of the Italian government VIII
be asked in clearing up the mystery IL
is declared that conspiracy existed
among the suspected members of the crew
and that after looting the strong box anf
sealing it again they deliberately wreck
ed the steamer that they might have
chance to land with their rich booty.
Whether the robbers actually escaped
with the great load of gold is yet mys-
terry, but the authorities have unearthed
clew showing that a small boat landed
several mysterious men near the scene Oh
the wreck long before any passengers from
the wrecked steamer reached shore

DIG UP OLD SLAVE PEN.
Philadelphia Tunnel Borers Find
Underground Dungeons.

Subway workmen, digging for the foun-
dations of the new tunnel station in Phil
adelphia. uncovered, at depth OF lUo
feet. what is plainly an old slave prison.
The pen is composed of narrow cells IN
three tiers, with three foot corridors be-
tween. Heavy iron bars covered the win
dows and in each cell were manacle sup
ports. Directly above the prison is the
house of the late Stephen Girard. an &c
centric rich man. who gave Girard college
to Philadelphia. 1t has long been handed
down in local history that Girard drove
a brisk slave trade and that the basis OF
his gigantic fortune came from that
source. The estate is now estimated at
several millions. Girard came to Phila-
delphia in 1874. In the war of 1912 he
made his historical loan to finance the
country. After that he worked among
the yellow fever victims in Philadelphia
after nearly every one else had fled the
city. The origin Of his fortune has al
ways been a mystery. The old Girard
house is within half block of the Della
ware river, from which secret access
would have been easy.

NAVY TO GUARD PRESIDENT.
Strong Convoy VIII Escort Him tt
the Isthmus of Panama.

the Isthmus of Panama.
A squadron of war vessels more formid-
able than the entire maritime strength of
several South and Central American re-
publics will convoy President Roosevelt
when he visits the Isthmus of Panama.
Two big battleships and a cruiser are to
be detailed as the Presidents special es-
cort or bodyguard or whatever it may be
called: and the chief magistrate of the
United States and the commander in chief
of its army and its navy will enter the
port of Colon with all the majesty and
impressiyeness pertaining to his high Of
fee.
No real danger to the President is ap-
pretended as a reason for sending a
squadron to Panama with him, for the
bonds of good will between this govern
ment and our sister republics TO the south
have been immeasurably strengthened
within the last few months and should
the President make the tour of all Central
and South America he undoubtedly would
be received everywhere with great acclaim.
The President of S0,000,O00 of people,
however, it is pointed ont, owes it to his
country to surround himself with every
protection. especially when making jour
ney by water that will take him farther
away than any other executive has ven
tured during his term of Office. There al
ways are present the natural dangers of
the sea and should anything befall the
vessel in which President Roosevelt en-
barks there will be the other ships close
at hand to prevent calamity.
Furthermore, it is explained, the Pan
ANA trip takes on an official character
| that fully warrants a demonstration
which some might call display, but which
really is in keeping with the dignity at
taching to the executive Office. For the
President of the United States to pay
even a semi-official visit beyond the boun-
daries of the States without as much of
an escort as would accompany flag Off
cer of the navy on a similar errand would,
it is declared, appear picayunish in the
sight of other world powers.

Prof. Gotthard Deutsch of the Hebrew
union college of Cincinnati makes answer
in the New York Hebrew Standard to the
charge recently made by Prof. Goodwin
Smith, that the prosecutions of the Jew
have not been prompted by religious ia
naticism. but because the Jews ARE a
parasitic race" Prof. Deutsch says that,
even if the occupations of the Jews were
exclusively those of an intermediary. that
would not make them parasitic race.
but he denies that the Jew is exclusively
a middleman, referring to the hundreds
of thousands of sweatshops and tailor
shop workers. He tells how the jew was
excluded from manual trades and prohib-
tied from holding lands. but to-day, all
over Russia, Jewish workers are found
in the mills and tanneries. He denies
that tribal spirit prevents the Jews from
assimilating with other nationalities, and
concludes that ''snobbery, bigotry and
that mental inertia, which is RI responsible
for the survival of many antiquated ideas,
account for the hostility to the jews"

Exhaustive reports compiled by
agents of the Department of Agricul-
ture bring out the fact that the total
of the leading grain crops of the coun-
try falls but 35,00O,OOO bushels below
the stupendous yield of last year, when
the corn crop went into first place in
the history of this or any other coun-
try, and oats followed close to the high
record.
The important development Of the
last month was in oats. Close and spe-
cial investigation has been made TO as
certain the real facts which last month
placed this crop so far behind that of
last year, the shortage, according to the
September figures, being 160.0OO,0O0
bushels. The investigation discloses
that the unfayorable oat crop condi-
tions that were a month ago thought to
be important have been found to be
confined to comparatively limited areas
of the leading productive States. Short
straw often disclosed heavy grain, this
fact having been brought out in the
thrashing and marketing. These and
similar facts warrant raising of the
estimate of yield by 70,O00,00O bushels,
thus bringing the yield within 10000.
600 bushels of the big 1895 crop.
Losses to the spring wheat crop
Northwest and beyond the Rockies have
served somewhat to Offset oats in the
effect on the grand total of grains. De-
spite the reductions in the estimates OF
spring wheat, the total wheat crop
stands but little short of the bumper
yield of 1901, when the total yield was
14S,OOO,OOO bushels. The winter wheat
crop, however, must be given the credit
for the big aggregate, as the spring
wheat yield is only moderate, fully IT,,
100000 bushels behind last years.
The corn crop shows but little change
during the last month, the weather
having been in the main favorable fol
bringing the new crop on nicely. The
weigh-up of the smaller crops shows 0
gain of 100000 bushels of barley and
of nearly 100000 bushels of rye.
In the report on spring wheat the
shortage is shown to be not an unrlixet
evil. As will be seen by the table be
low, the three leading States that are
tributary to the big mills that supply

This would leave reserve of only

COD FISHERIES LONG IN DISPUTE
Modus Vivendi Calls Attention to
Newfound1and,s Protracted Row.

The irritation displayed in Newfound-
land because of the modus vivendi on the
fisheries question, signed by the United
States and Great Britain, calls attention
to the fact that the fisheries of Newfound-
land have been a prolific source OF dis
pute for many years. The cod fisheries
constitute the chief wealth of Newfound-
land, which is a British crown colony.
Sixty thousand of its inhabitants are en-
gagged in fishing and its attendant busl-
ness, and the local government and the
people are constantly on the alert to guard
Newfoundlands rights in this important
industry. Most of the disputes have been
with the French, who retained certain
rights when the island was coded to Great
Britain. The United States has frequent
ly been involved in the last thirty or
forty years.
