ed to go and help his people fight.
 He has been having trouble within the past few weeks. His eighth wife has left his roof. Recently he drank liquor to excess and lay out in the reservation all night. His conduct incensed the church-going Indians, for they had expected several interest ing sermons from Geronimo during the revival they had planned.
 These troubles bore heavily upon the old warrior, and he was mentally ur- balanced for two days. Indian scouts guarded him all the time, but he man. aged to elude them.
 Geronimo expressed satisfaction at being invited to attend @ celebration near the mountain home of Chief Par ker, where several hundred Indians participated in a sham battle and a stage-coach robbery.
 When the fight was over, Geronimo took advantage of the quietude to steal away.
 "I am tired of being a prisoner and of trouble" he said, upon being re- tunred to the Fort Sill reservation, and I wanted to fight for my peo- pie.
 Some day I shall go away from the presidents men. One time they shall never see me again"

CATHOLIC FATHER WOULD
 SUPPRESS TEDDY BEAR

ST. JOSEPH. Mich, July l3.-The Teddy bear" fad was severely scored by the Rev. Michael G. Esper from the pulpit in St. Joseph's Catholic church. The priest held that the toy beasts in the hands of little girls were destroying all instincts of mother hood, and in the future would be realized as one of the most powerful factors in the race suicide danger.
 Father Esper spoke earnestly to his congregation for 15 minutes on the subject, exhorting all parents to re place the doll in the affections of chil- dren and discard the Teddy bear for ever.
 There is something natural" said Father Esper, fin the care of doll by a little girl. It is the first manifesta- ton of the feeling of motherhood. In the development of these motherly in stinet lies the hope of all nations. It is a monstrous crime to do anything that will tend to destroy these in stincts. That is what the Teddy bear is doing, and that is why it is going to be factor in the race suicide prob lem if the custom is not suppressed. It is terrible enough that the present generation of parents in this country are leading us into grave danger by the practice of race suicide If we can not awaken them, let us at least save the future generations

Brief Meeting of Each House and Adjourn
 Inent In Respect for the Dead
Feature Interest Was the Presence of the Large Number of Members Who Are In Congress for the First Time.

Washington. Dec. "A brilliant scene characterized the meeting of the Sixtieth congress today. In the senate and house there were notable gather ings in the galleries of representative citizens and officials of the capitol city. the coming together for the first time of the men who have been elect ed to the senate and house. about one hundred of whom have not before served in congress, made the occasion one of particular interest. The strik
 ing scenes of the day were in the house. where the formal selection of Mir. Cannon again to be speaker and the designation by the democratic mi nority of John Sharp Williams as their leader were occasions for ovations for those gentlemen. The vast hall of the house rang with the cheers of repub- licans and democrats for their leaders. The speaker received as warm a recep- tion from the minority as he did from his own party.

FIRE txTlNGUISHED
 IN THE FREMONT MINt
All Efforts Now Directed Toward As eertaining the Fate of the lmpris- oned Miners.

Dfytown, Calf, Dec. 2.-The fire in the Fremont mine is under control Since noon today skips were kept con stantly running up and down tho Cover shaft and powerful blowers were kept steadily at work trying to clear the shafts above the fire levels of the hot gas which formed during the fire. but with slow success. The whole ef- fort of the management is to get to the upper levels above the fire with the hope that the eleven entombed miners may be still alive.
 At 3 o'clock this afternoon Manager Goodall. accompanied by four picked miners. made another attempt to reach the 600-foot level through the hot gases. They reached that level when three were overcome with gas. and all were brought to the surface in an in- sensible condition and have but par tially recovered. They had to be car ried to the fresh air from the skip. A constable and force of officers from Drytown are having hard work trying to keep back the vast crowds which congregated about the mouths of the shafts to get news of the entombed miners.

S.P. CONDUCTOR R0lLOR
 KILLS TWO HOB0tS
The Fight Occurred Near Benson, the Train Running Thirty Miles an Hour.

Tucson. Dec. 2.-(SpeciaD Tonight, about seven o'clock. near Benson, two hobos. who were members of a gang riding on an east bound freight on the $. P, in a hand-to-ha encounter were shot and killed by Conductor ROllor. who had been stabbed by one of them in the abdomen, shoulder and hand. The injured conductor was brought on special train to this city and is in a serious condition at the hospital It is feared he cannot re- cover.
 The news of tho. affray caused great excitement here. The hobos have of late been very much in evidence along the Southern Pacific and have grown unusually bold. This latest affTay Oc- cured on the top of box car when the train was going at the rate of 30 miles an hour.
 According to the story told here, the conductor and brakeman. C. T. Hirr- man. were walking the length of the train when they came upon a large
 
 One of them drew a knife and stabbed Conductor RoilOr. who immediately drew his revolver and shot his assail ant The hobo was hit in the head and toppled off the car While this was occurring another hobo attacked the brakeman who was unarmed. The thug drew a gun and just as he leveled it. Conductor Rollor though wounded, and weak from loss of blood saved the brakeman's life by a miraculous shot. which shattered the hobo's wrist and tore the gun from his grasp. This weapon. bearing the mark Of the shot. was brought here as evidence.
 It is said that both hobos were kill ed. The other members of, the gang have disappeared. The hobo pest is getting to such a stage that the rail- road company is going to take vigorous methods to rid the territory along its Iines of them at once.

THE PETIIB0nE JURY
 IS ALMOST SELECTED
Only Four More of the Twelve Are
 Yet to Be Passed Upon For Cause.

Boise. Dec. 2.-Surprising progress was made today in the work of select ing a jury to try Pettibone for com plicity in the Steunen5erg murder. The state passed the jury for cause be- fore the adjournment of the morning session and at the afternoon and even ing sessions eight were passed by the defense. There were contests in the cases of only three talesmen. Two of these Judge Wood decided in favor of the defense and one against it.
 Witnesses were produced in court by the defense in a fsuitless effort to dis qualify Alex Hoffliger, at present an inmate of the Soldiers Home. Hof- fliger stated that he had expressed no opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Pettibone but the defense endeev- ored to show that he had made a statement that the defendant would be hanged. The judge denied the chal- lenge. It has been decided to hold night sessions until a jury is secured.

Bryan on theyfloor of the house was the occasion for enthusiastic cheering by the democrats.
 When the adoption of rules for the government of the house during the Sixtieth congress came up. the rules of the last congress were opposed by Mir. Williams. and he was joined in the opposition by the democrats and by a single republican The operation of the old rules were declared too auto cratic. placing too much power in the hands of the speaker. but after a somewhat acrimonious discussion they were adopted by a party vote.
 Committees were appointed by both houses to inform the president that the congress had met and was. ready to receive any message he might wish tO communicate. The new senators and representatives were sworn in and both houses adjourned in respect to the memory of members who had died during the recess.

KLEINSCnMIDT
 WILL GO FREE
The Grand Jury Failed to
 IndiCt Him
The Witnesses Told One Story to the Police AnO- ther to the Jurors.

Berkeley. Cal, Dec. 2-The Alameda county grand jury tonight refused ts return an indictment against Harry Kleinschmidt, the wealthy young col lege student who has been held in the county jail a week under an "Informa- ton and belief charge of murdering Frank Bellows filed by Detective Hem " Jamieson of Berkeley. The decision of the grand jurors was arrived at after an all day session during which they examined nearly forty witnesses whose statements had been taken by the chief of police and district attorney. since the investigation began.
 At 5:30 Foreman Charles Engler sent for District Attorney Brown and an- nounced that the jury had decided not to indiet- Brown at once informed the waiting newspaper men of the result. and said This ends the case so far as my office is concerned" Continu- ing Brown said: Under evidence as it was presented, think the grand jury did everything possible; I shall not pursue the case further. The Klein schmidt case, no doubt. will close to- morrow when the habeau corpus pro- ceedings come up for decision. Blanche Kerfoot did not testify today. but I do not think her testimony would make much difference"
 Chief of Police Stollmer was surpris- ed at the action of the grand jury. A few minutes before their decision was announced he stated to the newspaper men that he believed he had complete circumstantial case
 The news was first broke to Klein schmidt by the newspaper men. When he walked from his cell he looked pale and haggard and had no inkling of the news that awaited him.
 We'll. Kleinschmidt. the grand jury has refused to indict you; you go free tomorrow" said one of the reporters The prisoner did not seem to compre- bend the news.
 '1 will make a statement tomorrow. he said: 'I have been ordered not to ing"
 He then turned to Jailer Sherry and said with a return to college slang: '1s this straight dope?'
 Yes said Sherry. Then Klein schmidt smiled for the first time. He laughed and his face beamed with hap piness. 'Yeu may tell them I'm glad happy" he said as he skipped back down the corridor to his cell Deputy District Attorney Carey explained to- night by saying that the witnesses did not tell the same stories in the jury room that they told the chief of police i'm tho nr-iuinaI if,yactic>o tiop Nou, tha f Eleinschmidt has been purged of all suspicion of guilt he will probably re- enter college. He is member of the '09 class in the college of mines of the University of California.

 When the steamer struck the rocks there was much excitement among the passengers, most of whom are immi- grants. It was some time before Capt Boothby could convince them that they were in no immediate danger. It is not definitely known just how badly the Mount Temple is damaged but the chance of floating her from her dan gerous position is regarded as favor able.
