EKSTROMER INCIDENT
MAY Be REOPENED

Inquiry has been made at the State
Department by Herman de Lagercrantz
the Swedish minister into the status Of
the case OF c. A. Ekstromer. the
Swedish vice consul at St. Louis, whose
eNeQuatur was recently withdrawn by
this Government on the ground that
the consular official had written the
President an insulting letter. While the
minister was informed that the incident
Is closed, so far as this Government Is
concerned, he was given reason TO be-
lieve that ii the subject should be al
lowed 10 go over to next fall there
might be some favorable action.
At present Mr.. EksUomer has no Off
cial status, and IS devoting his ener-
giles TO private enterprises at St. Louis.
Tie came TO Washington at the time OF
the incident and took his case I'D per
SOnally with the State Department. He
made an explanation in writing. which
was said at the time to put him in Il
favorable light with Secretary Root,
but the President could not see his way
to allow Ekstromer to recover his com
mission.

In marine history was written when
twenty-four men rose 10 the top OF

remained under the waves for twenty
four hours. They were the officers and
crews OF the marvellous submarines Oc-

the two boats rose 70 the surface as
easily as a fish would swim there. while
the men who had been bottled within

THEY FUSS OVER TOPEKA.
Ban johnson and Charley Comisl1ey
Are Still Sore at Each Other.

Chicago, May 3.-Friends of the
American league are worried over a
report that President Ban johnson, of
the league, and President Comiskey.
of the local club, are again at outs. 1t
is said they have not spoken for sew
eral weeks.
The cause of the alleged trouble is
not an American league matter, it is
said, but is the Topeka franchise, over
which the Western league and West
ern association quarreled so bitterly.
1t is asserted Comiskey undertook to
handle the Western leagues case with
the formers intimate friendship with
President O'Neill, of the Western
league.
Also, it is claimed, President Com
iskey was under the impression that
the deal was completed for Topeka's
transfer to the O'Neill organization
and that he had Johnson's promise of
such a vote in the national commits
sion board. Since the reconciliation
of Comiskey and Johnson last Decem-
Der several of Comiskey's friends who
are enemies of Johnson have done all
they could to prevent the reconcilia-
ton from becoming complete, so that
the report of the renewal of the
probable on that account. The re-
cent suspension of Manager Jones
hardly can have helped matters, al
though so far known Comiskey
has made no complaint of this official
action.
Comiskey is a close friend of the
Cantillons, one of whom owns the
Des Moines club of the Western
league.
A few days ago, it is said. Johnson
mailed a complaint to President Herr
man, of the national commission that
the Des MoineS team was harboring a
contract jumper in Manager Kelly,
and that he desired in the interests of
his league to have the Des Moines
club dealt with as an enemy to organ
lied baseball. He also asked Herr
man to notify the Western league of
ficials of the complaint against Kelly
and to take action.

ORCHARD WILL DIE.
Is a Prediction That Is Being
! Freely Made.
1t Is Not Thought That He Will

Boise, Idaho, May 3.-Counsel for
prosecution and defense in the Steun-
enberg murder case have settled
down to their final preparatory work
ing that the trial of William Haywood,
first of the accused, will be COM
menced on Thursday next. Various
reports as to moves tending to fur
Their delay the trial are in circulation,
but the attitude of both sides in
dicates that they are ready for trial.
The only preliminary proceedings
pending is a motion by the defense for
a bill of particulars of the evidence
by which the state hopes to show
that Haywood conspired in the muir
der of Steunenberg. This motion,
which is designed to secure a dis
closure of the hand of the state. will
be argued before Judge Wood on
Monday next. This is not regarded as
likely to delay the trial.
The Idaho code and practice
modelled closely upon those of Cali
fornia, make no provision for bills of
particulars in criminal cases and in
the only precedent recorded in the
Idaho reports the court denied the as
sertion, holding the power to require
the ful nishing of bills of particulars
In general was discretionary with the
court. 1t is asserted that no right of
a proposal goes with such a motion
and neither side seems to regard the
matter seriously.

SHOT AT BURGLAR.
EnOch Marble Puts Bullet Through
Robbers Hat.

Mr.. Enoch MARBLE, who lives at Ma
pie Grove on North Polk street, had
a lively encounter with a burglar last
night The thief got away but he left
his hat behind with a neat bullet hole
through it.
Had Mr.. MARBLE held his revolver
three inches lower there would be an
other sequel to the story.
Entrance was gained through an un-
locked window. All the other windows
had been securely fastened with the
exception of this one which was pro-
tected by a screen. After tearing on
this screen the man had no difficulty
in getting into the house. When this
was accomplished he took the precau-
might lose no time in making his es-
cape if he should be discovered. While
still in the yard he had seen that the
gates were conveniently open.
Mr.. Marble, whose room is in the
second story was awakened by noise
on the lower floor, and supposing that
a dog was after some fish on the back
porch started down stairs with his re-
Volver.
The thief heard him coming and ran
with Mr.. MARBLE after him. In the
yard Mr. Marble fired at the fleeing
man, the bullet taking effect in his hat.
Mr.. MARBLE continued to fire and run
but no other shots hit the man.
The robber was described by Mr..
Marble as a large fellow, but in the dim
light he could not distinguish whether
white or colored. His hat, which was
later found in the yard with hole
in it is a derby So far nothing has
been missed from the Marble home, as
evidently the man was disturbed be-
fore he had stated his nights work.
The police have been notified.

deavor homes in Kansas City and nu-
merous pleasant trips about the city

ing and steam down the river to the
picnic grounds where lunch will be
served at the noon hour, the return
