DEFIES ATTEMPTS OF
POLICE TO TAKE HIM
Vancouver Man Secures Weapons
and Only Pleadings of Friends
Makes Him Give Up.

VANCOUVER, Wash, June 25.-
One man who secured drink from
unknown sources raised a disturb
ance here yesterday that caused a
big furore and which narrowly es-
capped ending in bloodshed. He was
l.. D. Seal, a well-known resident of
the city, who was arrested and later
escaped from the city jail. He i'm
mediately went to his home, secur-
ed two revolvers and a shotgun and
then for nearly two hours defied the
authorities to again place him under
arrest. 1t was only at the earnest
solicitation of some of his friends
that he finally surrendered.
Seal, when first taken into custody,
was confined in the woman's cell of
the Jail and easily made his escape.
The police followed him to his home,
a block distant Seal appeared under
the front porch of his house with the
revolvers and shotgun all loaded
and dared the four officers who were
present to enter the gate. The af-
fair soon attracted a crowd of hun
dreds of people who were attending
band concert in the city park,
which is only 100 feet distant from
the Seal residence.
The police from behind trees and
fences, urged Seal to give himself
up, but without effect. The specta-
tors, most of them at safe distance,
divided their time between making
sport of the officers and cheering on
the half-crazed man, who for hours
watched every entrance to his home
and successfully evaded capture.
Finally several friends of Seal,
with the pastors of two local
churches, prevailed upon him to sur
render and he was led back to jail
He was later released on bond
Seal is an ex-soldier and is credit
ed with being an expert shot, so that
in all probability the peaceful attitude
Of the officers was all that prevented
bloodshed
Later Seal appeared at the resi-
dence of Justice j. E. Harris and
created a disturbance that resulted
in his being confined for the night in
the Jail.

TRIAL TRIP
LAST NIGHT
.Admiring Crowd Watches Initial
''Run" of Fire Departments
New Red Wagon.

The continuous, rafting clamor of
a real fire engine startled sun
down strollers on Wenatchee avenue
last evening, and 'city folks
pricked up their ears at the familiar
sound.
1t was the trial trip of the new
combination chemical and hose cart,
labeled "W. F. D. No. l.
Jack O'Connor's blacks whirled
the new fire fighting machine about
town in fine style, the alarm bell
rattling and divers members of the
w. V. F. D. hanging onto the foot
boards of the wagon.
The machine is temporarily in
stalled in O'Connor's barn on Mis-
sion street, and until the city pur-
chases team of its own for the
purpose one of O'Connor's teams will
be used for pulling the wagon to and
from fires. The new vehicle is a
beauty, and comes up to expectations
in every way
According to the present plans of
the fire department the new wagon
and one of the old hand hose carts
will be kept down on Mission street,
at the old fire headquarters. Another
hose wagon will be kept up the hill
near the reservoir on Orondo avenue.
The hand chemical engine will be
kept up on Mob hill, at a place to
be decided upon.
With this new apparatus, the in
stitution of the new pumping SER
vice from the Columbia river, within
a few weeks, and a few more hy-
drants at most needed points, the
city will have a measure of fire pro-
lection not previously enjoyed.
Wenatchee has known no serious
conflagration in the past decade,
which speaks well for the efficient
services of the volunteer fire depart
ment, coupled probably with meas
ure of good fortune.

ARMY OFFICER
MAKING SURVEY
Lieutenant Gregory of 14th Infantry
and Party Make Military Maps
of Roads for Army Use.

Wenatchee' was afforded rare
spectacle this morning-for Wenat-
chez.
A lieutenant of the United States
army, real live sergeant, and two
army horses with regulation equip
ment for mounted officers.
Lieut.. Gregory, of the 14th U. S.
Infantry, with a detachment of three
men, is working over the surveyed
roads and bridges in this section of
the state, for military purposes. The
14th is now stationed at Vancouver,
from which post Lieut.. Gregory has
been detailed for the survey work,
with one non-commissioned officer
and two men. The party is now
camped up on the Entiat, and in a
day or two will move on to the Lake
Chelan district, mapping and check
ing up previous government. pad
surveys and bridge locations.
The military authorities maintain
for their own information and pos
sible use maps and charts of all
present and proposed roadways in
the country, especially those ada
cent to coast cities and ports. In
case OF occupation of the country by
an enemy, and seizure or destruction
of the railways as means of trans
portation, troops and supplies would
have to be sent overland. Hence it
behooves the army to know the
shortest distance between two points
by the best road overland.
Lieut.. Gregory lost his leather
grip this morning, riding up from
Cashmere 1t contained his fishing
tackle. and as he is en- route to the
Lake Chelan country he is out of
luck. If the man who finds the grip
will bring it to the World Office, it
will be returned to the officer.

NEW DISEASE AMONG
FRUIT TREES
County Official Will Start Out
Soon to Begin Fight on
the Pest.

ProsSer, June 26.-J NJ. Brown
of North Yakima, the recently ap-
pointed deputy horticultural COM
missioner for the counties of Kitti-
tas, Yakima, Benton, Franklin,
Adams, Walla Walla and Klickitat,
was in the city on his initial trip
over the territory. His business was
to confer with the county fruit in
spectors and see that the horticul-
tural' laws are being enforced.
A new disease to this section has
made it's appearance in the orchards
at North Yakima, says Inspector
Brown, which he thinks will be com,
mon throughout the fruit growing
district. 1t is called anthragnose,
is a fungus growth similar to the
black spot canker, attacks fruit trees
in spots and affects them by peeling
off the bark. 1t is a serious disease,
he reports, unless eradicated, which

TALKED A new
KIND OF LINGO
Unusual Speech of Immigrant Man
Battles Police-Finds Friends
Through Linguist Padoshek.
Martin Padoshek deserves a med

Martin Padoshek deserves med
al.
Within the past six weeks he has
rescued two lost persons, providing
them with comfortable homes among
relatives they sought.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago a thirteen-year-old boy
travelled $4,000 miles to join his
uncle here, coming all the way from
the dank tarns of upper POLAND, and
landing here tagged like a trunk.
There was no one to meet him; he
spoke no language known to the lin
gusts of Wenatchee, and would
probably have been sent to deaf
and dumb home but for the timely
assistance of Mr.. Padoshek. The lat
ter talked" to him, found his folks
and sent him on his way rejoicing.
Yesterday the same thing happen
ed again.
Only this time the man with the
mystic talk was SO years old.
The wanderer from Bohemia ar
rived in Wenatchee at midnight, 20
days at sea from the fatherland via
Canada, and knowing no language
known to the Wenatchee police, was
up against it. Remembering Pado-
shek's luck With the lost boy the
police steered the newcomer into the
Seattle bar, and found immediate re-
lief. The versatile Martin coughed
up first one language and then an
other until he struck record
with which the dusty traveller was
familiar, and then the racket COM
menced. It was a new kind of talk
to the bystanders but the old man
seemed to like it, and they soon as
certained that he desired to find his
sister, Mrs. John Zagar.
The Zagars came here about two
years ago, and are located on a
ranch above town.
The foreigner was delighted to
find one who knew his tongue. and
tickled to be sent at once to his
relatives. Padoshek kindly secured
a rig, and directed the driver where
to take the man whose conversation
to him was at times somewhat in
distinct.

MR.. FORAKER MAKES SHARP REPLY
Senator Foraker at once took the floor re-
iirklng that it belittled the present question TO

ton. He did not purpose to discuss that oues-
ton or the merits of the Brownsville affair He

that MS speech two weeks ago had offended Ger

captain Mcdonald. the Ohio Senator said he did
no, iiot know what Mcdonald resented unless ii was

Mr. Foraker read from '"The Cincinnati TN
qulfer an account of Captain McDonalds re-
sentiment and commented freely on 1t. Among
otner thlllss he said: Il don't know why Cap
tam Mcdonald would charge hell with one
bucket of water unless it was that he had no
other use for the water"
Again after reading the statement of NrcDon-
aid that he was willing to meet Mr.. Foraker but
oio hot intend TO make trouble for him, the Ohio
senator exclaimed: What d relief that is TO
lne!' Another account. taken from The Hous-
Ton Post depicted Captain Mcdonald as "a
great killer in the cause of Justice and
tC4d OF the manner in which Mcdonald had con-
quoted his investigation Of the Brownsville af-
tair at the request of the Governor of Texas.
Mr. Foraker closed his remarks by putting the
interviews in The Record" and asking for d
vote on the resolution
Senator Culberson replied briefly. saying the
country was 70 be felicta-ed the fact that
the Ohio Senator had turned his attention to
derision of a captain Of Texas Rangers. There

NO PLOT IN THE SENATE.
Mr. Scott Denies Stories of Combi-

IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Wheeling. w. Va. Jan. 3.-"There is no SEN
atorial plot or combination to oppose President
Roosevelt and his policies or to prevent the
nomination of Mr. Taft to the Presidency or to
further the nomination of any one else" This
was the statement made by Senator N B. Scott.
of West Virginia, to the Washington corre-
spondent of The Intelligencer' this afternoon.
L am almost tired of denying silly and sensa-
tional lies OF this kind, and would not do so
now" continued Mr.. Scott. did I not that
some of our own state papers were inclined to
treat this latest fake seriously AS for my
self. member of the Senate admires Presi-
dent Roosevelt more than I do or more freely
acknowledges his splendid public services, but
certainly the people of West Virginia or of any
other state do not expect their Senators to sur
render all opinion of their to public mat
ters and accept only that of the Executive. If
that were to be the case we might as well do
away with Congress- with all popular represen-
tatiOn, and set UP absolute monarchy at once
However, this is all absurd
AS to the Brownsville affair. over which so
much Nose has been made, I only repeat
that all 1 desire is full and absolutely accurate
information. Friends of the colored soldiers
claim that they were unjustly punished; that
in fact. only one side of the case was heard.
You can say that both the West Virginia Sen
ators the best of terms with the Presi-
dent. and fully agree with him most, if not
all, of the questions that likely to come
before this next Congress. You also say,
and 1 know this to be a fact, that President
Roosevelt has not the remotest idea of trying TO
force the nomination of Mr.. Tart or any one else
on the Republican party. The President has
entirely too high regard for his own honor and
the proprieteS of his position to attempt to play
the mere politician for the benefit Of any one
And, moreover. 1 know that Mr.. Taft does not
expect him to do anything of the kind"
