No Trace Found Of Ferdin-
ando Maiorana, Who Es-
capped From Asylum.
WAS MOROSE AND SULLEN
While Watching Baseball Game
With Other Patients at the
Institution He Quietly Fled
and Relatives Are Now
Anxious.

Despite a vigilant search on the part
of his relatives and the authorities Of
the OverbTooll Insane Asylum, no
trace has been found of Ferdinando
Maiorana, of 1853 Bleecker street, this
city, who fled from that institution
August II, and whose disappearance is
now made public.
The italian quarters in this and
inelghboring cities and towns have been
secured thoroughly without result, and
the mans relatlves are most anxious
to secure some word of him.
Maiorana, who is 46 years old, is
described as being about feet inches
tall and weighing 1876 pounds. He has
dark eyes, and his hair, which is turn
ing gray, would lead one to believe
him at least so years old. He is a
painter.
At the time he escaped from the in
stitution he was being exercised on the
grounds with other patients. They
were watching baseball game, and at
its finish the attendants were collecting
the patients together, when Maiorana
was missed. A search of the buildings
and grounds was without result, and
no one could be found who had seen
the man leaving.
In the asylum he was confined in a
closed room, and gave the attendants
little or no trouble. He was not violent
but seemed to be morose.

DR.. SEIDMANN
NOT GUILTY OF
SPEEDING
Testimony Of Daughter,
Proving Alibi, Acquits
Him.

On the testimony OF his 9-vear-old daugh-
ter, the offering as evidence the official
register Of the Eye and Ear Infirmary in
Central avenue, ana casual remark by
the defendant himself, DR.. Marcus Seid-
mann, of $50 High street, was found not
guilty by Judge Herr in the Second Pre-
cinct Police Court this morning OF violat-
ing the auto speed law.
The case, which was continued from
yesterday. occasioned considerable surprise
among the medical fraternity In Newark
and Dr. Seidmann informed the court that
he was now the laughing stock Of the doc-
tors for they have been after him to get
a better car, and learn to ride one 'at
faster clip.
'It is fact, Judge" the doctor said,
"that have the reputation of riding slower
than any other doctor in Newark, and
when they heard that / was arrested for
speeding, told me 1 ought to ride faster -
The register OF the hospital showed that
the doctor was at the Intirmary at the
time he was charged with speeding 1T
terrible gait in Central Avenue.
Helen, the Doctors daughter said she
often rode to the hospital after school with
her father. and she never knew him to
ride down Central avenue.
Dr. Seidmann contended at the hearing
yesterday that a mistake had been made
by Policeman F1aherty. of the Second Pre-
cif.ct in getting the number of his auto
mobile. No. 24.6o5 N. ].
1t was not the machine that was tearing
down Central avenue just as crowd of
children were leaving st. Patrick's Paro-
chial School. he contended.
The policeman said he tried to hail the
chauffeur, but It was useless, 80 he jumped
on ear and followed the machine down
to Broad street
The doctor said some mistake had been
made and that he was at the Eye and
Ear 1nfitmary In sCentrai avenue when he
was supposed to have committed the
violation on October 5. His testimony was
corroborated by DR.. John Hemsach, of Sc
Spruce street.

SAYS
"ONLY A COLD
IN HEAD
An Old Soldier MIST Not
Notice That Worse After
Bad Night.

Z VIENNA, Oct 1S.-The news received
here from Schoenbrunn Castle this
morning regarding the health of En-
peror Francis Joseph was less satis-
factory than in recent days. He passed
restless night, being frequently dis
turbed by bad attacks of dry cough
ing, which prevented him from obtain
ing much sleep. Therefore he rose ear
lier than usual, and when the doctors
arrived they found that the catarrhal
symptoms were somewhat worse than
during the preceding days. that the
coughing was more frequent and more
violent and that there was not suffi-
cient expectoration.
In addition, the patient as result
of the bad night was weaker, but the
doctors hope that his satisfactory ap-
petite will help him to overcome the
present signs of weakness.
One favorable symptom is the abb
sence of fover since yesterday after
noon. The general condition of the
Emperor, however, again requires the
utmost care.
The attending physicians are wor-
ried by his majesty's unwillingness to
restrict his work. He sits for several
hours daily at his desk, thus aggra-
waiting his rnalady. He does not yet
realize that he is i'll, and says that
"an old soldier must not notice cold
in the head"

MANILA, Oct. 1S.-A report reached
the local police yesterday from
priest that an attempt was made to
throw a sbomb at Secretary Taft while
he was attending a reception in his
honor given at the Jesuit College, A
careful investigation of the rumor has
failed to disclose any foundation for
the statement. Every precaution was
taken by the authorities to prevent any
such outrage, the secretary being closely
guarded by insular as we'll as United
States secret service men. Besides, 1t
is believed that there are no anarchists
or men of that class in the islands.
, Secretary Taft was present this morn
ing at an entertainment given in his
honor at Fort william Mckinley. In
the afternoon he received the troops
composing the garrison of Manila; later
he was entertained at dinner by Briga-
dier-General John j. Pershing. COM
mander of Fort william Mckinley, and
this evening he will be present at a
reception to be given by the American

quarters.

But for the presence of Chief of Po-
lice Corbitt at an opportune moment at
headquarters yesterday afternoon Cap
tain Carroll head of the detective bu-
reau; and Plainclothesman King, of the
First Precinct station, might have en-
gagged in a fistic encounter, so heated
did an argument between the policemen
become.
Headquarters was in an uproar and
there is possibility that the commits
sioners may have their attention called
to the matter. Captain Carroll made
no secret of his desire to stop plain-
clothes policemen from doing detective
work, and shaking his finger in Kings
face, told him that he would break
him if he still persisted in doing de-
tective work. Yesterdays trouble was
the climax of bad feeling on the part
of the detective bureau toward the.
plainclothes policemen.
The immediate cause of Yesterdays
difference, which stirred up headquar-
ters, was the action of King in taking
Thomas BLAZER, suspect, arrested by
the First Precinct police, to Superin-
tendent Schwartz, of the Bertilon sys-
tenn. without notifying Carroll of 1t.
King obeyed the orders of his superior,
Acting Captain Caffrey, of the First
Precinct station, who assumed that ar
rangements had been made at headquar-
ters in so far as Detective Sergeant
Ryan, of the bureau, first suggested
taking the suspects picture, as he be-
lieved that it might be handy for the
police later on.
BLAZER had been arrested near C..
Henry Stepgels home at 1170 Broad
street at an early hour Wednesday
morning by Policeman Thelan. He had
with him a weever's thread catcher.
Ryan got information that BLAZER, who
claimed to be from Fall River, had
spent some time in the Concord re-
formatory. He. thought 1t advisable
then that the young mans picture be
taken and his record looked up.
Caffrey ordered King to take BLAZER
over to Schwartz and have the picture
taken. King did as he was told. Car
roll heard about 1t, -and calling King
into his room accused him OF exceed
ing his authority in. going over the
head of the detective bureau and haV-
ing a prisoner photographed. King
tried to explain, and then previous bad
blood between the two men crept out.
Carroll openly threatened to have King
sent back in uniform for his activity
in the detective line King denied
going over Carrolls head. Both men
raised their voices. and several peo-
pie who went to police headquarters
on business were ready to witness what
appeared to be the starting of fist
fight King dared Carroll to bring him
before the board on charges, where

BEAR AT LAST
KILLED BY
PRESIDENT
Was a Great Big One, and
Hunter Had to Go Into
Thicket After Him.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1S.--Naws of
the killing OF big black bear by Fresi-
dent Roosevelt in the canebrakes near
Bear Lake, La, reached New Orleans
today In telegram to John NJ. Parker
one of the gentlemen who invited the
President to hunt in the State, and
who himself was a member Of the
hunting party until business required
days ago.
The telegram to Mr. Parker was
signed by Leo Shields. another member
of the party, and read as follows:
President Roosevelt killed a great
big year. Went into thicket after
him."
Two days ago several trails were
struck, but only once did the dogs come
upon the bears, and then 1t became
necessary for a negro hunter in the
party to kill the bear Immediately In
order to save the dogs.
1t was announced yesterday that the
president had started out early, and
that with fresh and better dogs, trails
had been struck in the morning and
were being followed in lively man
ner.
STAMBOUL, La, Oct. 1S.-F'ew de-
tails of the Presidents bear killing are
known except that It took place late
yesterday afternoon after he and the
other hunters with him had followed
the dogs in the chase through the jun
giles for four hours. The beast was
female of the black variety and was
beyond the average size. The fact that
she was secured at all is attributed to
the staying qualities of the new dogs.
The news was, brought in by courier,
who arrived from Bear Lake this morn
ing. The exploit has given heart to
the camp, and the hunters are now
working with renewed vigor in the hope
of making a brilliant finish.

JAIL MAGNATES
SAYS CLEWS
WHY

In discussing the Wall st. move
ments and outlook, Henry Clews,
the New York financial expert. has
this to say on the subject Of trust
prosecution: 81
The remedy for corporation law
breakers is punishment by impris-
onment of the guilty individuals
connected Herewith. If the gov
eminent and state officials will an
nounce this as their future policy,
confidence will at once return, to
the stock market and securities, be
in demand for investment Corpor-
ations whose officials are found
guilty should also be taxed for all
legal fees and court expenses.
Big money fines fall mostly upon
innocent stockholders who have
had nothing whatever to do with
wrong acts, hence big fines as a
penalty depreciate values as they
threaten confiscation, while impris-
onment in place thereof will ad-
vance them, as it puts them on a
more reliable and honest basis.

FOR EARLY IN SEPTEMBER
CAN YOU PICK WINNERS?

Special Correspondent to The Press.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 21.-From
the date of balloons debut the
question Of individual supremacy
in certain departments Of the
game has been a matter Of open
discussion and doubt.
: Fans and players everywhere
have oftentimes become engaged
| in heated arguments relative to the
best thrower, fleetest runner, ETC.,
but to no avail, as the actual tests
were always lacking.
At last, however, an attempt will
be made to set all speculation at
rest for the present, lat least. A
series of such contests have been
7 planned to be held in this city
Bowlers' day, Sept. 10. Each club
in the country is invited to send
its best man for each event, and
the occasion promises to be unique
in the history of the game.
One hundred dollars and a gold
medal each are to be given the
player making the longest throw;
longest "fungo hit; most accurate
throws from the plate to second
base; best time circling the bases
. and best time to first base after
laying down fair bunt.
Naturally the greatest interest
centers in the contests of speed
Many are the claimants for honors.
st. Louis fans believe Harry Niles
Is the fastest man in the game The
New York Giants think they have
: the crack of them all ON the bases
in George Browne. The New
York Americans opine the same of
Danny Hoffman, Brooklyn of Billy
Maloney, Detroit of Ty Cobb and
SO on, and yet some more.
Few, If any, would be able to
show their heels to Harry Bay, of
Cleveland, If he were in shape. The
Cincinnati contingent will likely
take ticket on Hans Lobert, and
still others are far from being in
the snail class.
In the "fungo hitting" contest
pitchers will undoubtedly rule IA
vorite. This is hitting balls to the
outfield in practice and hurlers are
more adept because of constant
practice. The long distance throw
ing event will be a decided feature
If the few really star outfielders
are among those present. Joe
Birmingham, of Cleveland; Artie
Holman, of the Cubs, and Topsy
Hartsel, of the Athletics, have
great whips" George Paskert, the
Reds Atlanta recruit, is said to
be a wonderful HEAVIER, and might
give q splendid account Of himself
Messrs. King, Sullivan and
"Nig" Clarke are considered top
notchers when it comes to pegging
from the plate to second, but 1t is
by no means certain that either
would nail that event.
