SECRETARY TO
 DEWEY MISSING
ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO SUI ClDE, AS A FRIEND RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THE ACT WAS CONTEMPLATED.

Washington, November 22.-Lieut. John w. Crawford, United States navy. secre- tary to Admiral Dewey, has disappeared and it is believed he has committed sui eide Today Bonnet A. Allen, friend ol the missing man, received special delivery letter from Crawford. in which it was stated that he had determined on suicide and requesting MT. Allen to break the news to Mrs. Crawford as gently as possible.
 A police alarm was sent out and late this afternoon Crawford's hat and coat were found on the deck of ferryboat plying between Washington and Alex andria. While no one on the boat saw anybody jump overheard, yet from state ments made by the crew the police are convinced that Crawford committed sui eide by drowning.

POWERS JURY IS
 NOT YET COMPLETE
JURY BOX WAS FILLED AT ONE TIME, BUT WAS REDUCED TO FIVE BY CHALLENGES-TH DE- TENSE HOPEFUL.

Georgetown, Ky, November 22-The special Grant county venire of 15O men, from which to select a jury in the Caleb Powers case, arrived this morning, and the work of examining them, touching on their qualifications for jury service, con sumed the entire day. A decided sensa- tion ensued when it was learned that Ar thur Goebel brother of the murdered man, accompanied Sheriff Warning into Grant county. As Powers was allowed to send his brother-in-law, H. w. Green, and several friends along with Sheriff Warning and his deputy, Arthur cIoeuel also decided to go along and watch the summoning process.
 Never before sperhaps, in the history of Kentucky courts was a prisoner on trial and those who are prosecuting him al- lowed to send representatives with a court bailiff to see that fair. impartial, and unprejudced jury was summoned.
 At 3.S0 o'clock this afternoon the jury box in the trial of Caleb Powers was filled, four of the possible jurors being from Harrison county, and eight from Grant, this resulting from the retention of four men who qualified from the venire from Harrison county,
 The jury was composed of eight dem ocrats. three republicans ana one in-
 
 lenged o. 0. Stevenson. the one inde- pendent Four men were called before the vacancy was filled after which the commonwealth accepted the Jury. The defense used several peremptory chal- lenges. leaving five men on the jury. three republicans and two democrats.
 Mir. Owen indicated by his examination of one or two jurors that he had infor- nation that the democrats had some un- derstanding about qualifying themselves as jurors by declaring that they had not formed nor expressed an opinion.
 The question bearing this significance received prompt negative answer. Ve- niremen necessary to complete the panel were under examination when court ad- journed at 5:30 o'clock until ' in the evening.
 Attorneys for the defense stated to- night that the worst they can expect with the panel now composed Is q hung jury. One juror was accepted at the night session.

LITTLE WILLIE
 ISA BAD, BAD BOY
OFFICE BOY SHUTS SIX GIRLS UP IN A VAULT AND THEY NEARLY DIE BEFORE RESCUE COMES. WILLIE WAS FIRED.

Chicago, November 22.-Six young wom- en stenographers employed by the Amer ican Steel and Wire company. had terri flying experience yesterday as the re- suit of a prank played on them by an office boy. There are 30 young women employed in the order department tran scribing invoices on the typewriter. Dur ing the noon hour they organize choruses and play parlor games until the return of their superior. Yesterday six of the younC women conceived a variation of the programme and adjourned to a cav ernous filing vault to sing. They left the door partly closed. Just when the chorus was rolling forth in reverbating volume, little Willie Osterfelt, the office boy, slipped up to the vault, banged the door shut and gave the combina- ton knob a whirl. The song of the im- prsoned sextette died away in shriek while six pairs of feminine hands beat on the iron door. The other young women stenographers sprang to the res- cue and Willie decamped. The vault was alright, and none of the girls knew the combination. in fact, it was known only to A. P Pratt, head of the filing department, and he was at lunch. One cool-headed young woman. however, found the janitor and rushed him to the spot with pick axe and crowbar.
 A hole was soon made in the vault wall through which the prisoners received air. They said they had nearly suffocated. MT Pratt returned later, released the six girls. one was suffering from a ner- vous shock as a result of the experience and was sent home in a carriage.
 The boy was discharged.

HARVARD AND YALE
 WILL MEET TODAY
BETTING ODDS ON YALE BECAUSE OF RECORD ARE so STRONG AS TO MAKE WAeERs ALMOST PRO. HIBITIVE.

Cambridge, Mass, November 2.-Thc football season in the east will practi- cally eliminate tomorrow with the bien- nial game in the stadium on soldier s field between Harvard and Yale. Nearly 4O,000 people will witness the contest and it Is probable that a very great ma jority will go out to the field in ex- pectation of seeing Yale add another to her long list of victories over the crim- son.
 American football between the two uni versailles dates from 1875, when Harvard defeated Yale at New Haven by four goals and four touchdowns to nothing. In the 26 games which have followed, to- morrow's contest being the 2Sth Harvard has repeated that first victory on three occasions only, while Yale has carried off the honors in 19 matches three meet ings being without result and a fourth forfeited by Harvard. It is thought, therefore, in the light of these past rec ords that Yale will win another victory tomorrow and the betting odds on the re- suit are almost prohibitive.

ciaar Dust.

Here is a thing which all cigar
smokers might observe with profit
to themselves. Before lighting a
cigar bite off the end and, placing
the part to be lighted between your
lips, blow through it. In this way
you get rid of a fine dust that accu-
mulates in a cigar when it is dry,
which is apt to infame your vocal
chords and injure your voice. 1t is
a valuable hint to vocalists, and
there are quite a number of profess
Bional opera singers who never light
q cigar until they have blown out
the dust. To the failure to do this
may be attributed in great part the
throat diseases with which steady
smokers are afflicted.

From london Rridae In a Sack.

Some years ago a porter named
Fuller, employed at Billingsgate
market, London, made a bet that he
would jump from London bridge
tied up in sack, his only stipula-
ton being that he should be prOvid-
ed with a knife, which he was not
to open till he touched the water,
with which to rip open the sack.
BE succeeded in accomplishing the
feat and when picked up by some
friends in boat was none the worse
fer his dive.
