Metropolis, Ill.-Rufus Sumner
and family are critically i'll from
arsenic poison given to them in
coffee, and John Brooks, colored, is in
Jail charged with the deed.
Sumner is a farmer and lives two
miles from here. Nine months ago he
paroled Brooks from the Chester peni.

They were eating dinner and four
of them became deathly sick. DR.. A.
e. Miller was sent for and but for his
prompt arrival all would have proba-

The coffee was analysed and found
to contain arsenic. Suspicion at onc
fell upon Brooks, as he never drank
coffee, and as he was not sick.
Search of the house resulted in ar.
senic being found in Brooks room.
He claimed he didn't know what It
was and that some unknown man had
bought it for him.

ROB ANOTHER BANK
"AuTo THIEVES" DYNAMITE SAFE
AND GET $4,000.
THEY STEAL BUGGY TO ESCAPE
Rapid Operators Strike Terror I'd
Small Bankers Through
out Nebraska. g

Lincoln, Nebr.-The State bank
of Ceresco, Saunders county, 20
miles north of here, was robbed early
Saturday by three men, who escaped
with $4,000 currency. The men are
believed to be the automobile bandits
who, early Friday, boldly looted banks
at Keene and Gibbon, Neb., escaping
pursuers in a fast touring car. This
time, however, the robbers were not
in an automobile; they stole a buggy
and team of horses from a livery barn
to escape.
The robbers entered the town short.
ly after midnight and started to work
on the safe, leaving a lookout on the
outside. James Boyle, a resident, was
up late and ran afoul of the lookout,
who Immediately held him up at the
point of a revolver and marched him
to the bank. There later he was found
bound and gagged.
Escape In Buggy.
The robbers dynamited the safe,
taking everything of value in sight,
Then they ran to their buggy, con.
cealed nearby, and drove rapidly
away. Their team and buggy were
found Saturday morning near Ash.
land, Is miles east of Ceresco, where
the gang is believed to have taken a
train.
Posses have been organized in Ian.
caster and Saunder counties, and it is
now expected the robbers will be cap.
tured before night. The exploits of
the automobile bandits have struck
terror to the hearts of the small bank
ers in Nebraska. All of Friday night
posses in many counties searched for
the gang without avail. The Ceresco
robbery Saturday, almost under the
noses Of the officials, has created an
immense sensation.
One Robber Believed Wounded.
If the Ceresco robbers and the auto
bandits" are identical they have Sc
cured nearly $4,000 in currency from
the three banks they have robbed in
less thai "a hours. 1t was noted Sat.
urday there were only three men in
the Ceresco gang, whereas there we're
four robbers at Gibbon Friday. This
might indicate one of the gang had
been wounded during Fridays raids.

Conflicting Stories From Caracas.

Conflicting Stories From Caracas.
Willemstad. - Conflicting stories
we're received from Caracas Thursday
regarding the uprising against Presi-
dent Castro.
One report says that the declara-
ton of martial law has had the effect
of curbing the people, while later re-
ports say that the revolutionary forces
are quietly at work, and that the pres
ent calm is but the forerunner OF a
demonstration that will sweep Castro
from the throne.
The people of Curacao expect word
of the overthrow of the Venezuelan
government at any moment. To insure
such a result, they are urging that
the Dutch demonstration against Ven
ezuela be increased in severity, as 1t
is the commercial stagnation follow
ing the demonstration that has
aroused the V~enezuelans.
Caracas is badly crippled as a result
of the rioting that took place the first
half of the week. Scores of citizens
who were known to be friends of Cas-
tro have fed to the interior for safety,
and in another break such as Mon
days their property would fall prey
to the rioters.

NEW NAVAL BOARD NAMED.
Newberry Takes First Step In Reor-
ganization Of Department.

Washington, d. C.-The first real
step in the direction of effecting re-
forms in the administration of the
navy department has been taken by
Secretary Newberry, and is the begin
ming of the changes in the bureau sys-
ten and departmental administration.
Mr.. Newberry's plan contemplates the
increases in the membership of the
general board and the board of con-
struction of the navy department and
greater cooperation between these
boards. He has amended the navy
regulations so as to redistribute the
work of b~attleship designing in such
a way as to avoid the archaic and un-
~businesslike methods which have pre-
vailed.
In addition to this, it is evident
from what became known in an unof-
fetal way that the bureau of steam
engineering has actually. although not
nominally, passed out of existence as
a separate and Independent bureau.
The office of chief of this bureau is
vacant, and there is gooG reason to be-
lieve it will not be filled, leaving the
way open to the practical accomplish
ment of something for which several
secretaries of the navy have contend
ed, the amalgamation Of the bureau
of steam engineering with the bureau
of construction and repair under one
head.

WORK OF REVISING THE PRESENT
LAW INTO A BILL
Is BEGUN.
CARNEGIE'S TESTIMONY Nil
Prominent Member Said It Was
Unsatisfactory to Committee as
Far as Use In It's Deliberations
is Concerned.

Washington, ID. C.-The house
ways and means committee Tuesday
completed its hearings on the pro-
committee, consisting of the Republi-
car members of the full committee,
began the work of revising the pre-.
sent law into a tariff bill. This bill is
to be submitted to congress at the
special session which it is understood
Judge Taft will call together next
March. In order to complete its work
in time, the subcommittee will hold
daily meetings behind closed doors
until the new bill has been formed.
No tariff revision committee has ever
had at its command so large a fund
of information as the present COM
mittee and the individual members
will facilitate the work by devoting a
large part of their time to the On
%sideration of the testimony that has
been given before the committee and
to the perusal of the numerous re-
ports available for their use.
Mapping Out Plans.
There was little done at Tuesdays
meeting aside from mapping out the
| plans to be persued in drafting the new
bill. Each schedule will be taken up in
its regular order and the testimony
on each paragraph given due con-
sideration. The changes suggested in
the book compiled during the past
summer by tariff experts under the
supervision of the clerk of the COM
mittee will be passed upon. These
changes have been carefully worked
out and are for the purpose of making
the tariff law clear as to the objects
and free of all ambiguity.
If, in the estimation Of the members
of the committee, it is desirable to OBJ
tain further testimony regarding the
manufacture of some article or If in
formation is lacking with regard to
some paragraph of the tariff, further
witnesses whose testimony would be
of valua will be called before the COM
mittee.
MIR. C%arnegie's testimony Monday
did not prove satisfactory to the COM
mittee. One prominent Republican
member said Tuesday that his testi-
mony was practically nil as far as in
formation of use to the committee in
it's deliberations is concerned.

Washington, D. C.-"If you pro-
toct our competitors you leave Us
above protection, and ! believe that
the United States Steel Corporation
should make public its affairs and sub
nit to government control" was the
remarkable declaration of Judge e.
H. Gray, chairman of the board of
directors of the United States Steel
Corporation, at the hearing before the
house ways and means committee Fri
day.
This is radical" he added, "but
remember that l am not speaking for
the steel corporation in saying this"
Judge Gary, like Charles M. Sch
wab, who appeared before the COM
mittee on Tuesday, gave much infor-
nation and submitted to a severe
cross-examination. His testimony
showed that the tariff is needed more
as a protection for the independent
steel manufacturers than for the steel
corporation.
He declared that the reduction of
the duty on certain steel products
would compel the steel companies to
reduce the cost OF labor. He said that
the competitors of the steel corpora
