ALIAS TRIAL TODAY.
Brain Experts Pronounce Murderer OF
Father Leo Perfectly Sane.

Denver, Colo, March S.-(iuiSeppc
Ala will be placed on trial tomorrow
for the murder Of Father Leo Helm
rich'S who was shot to death at the
altar of st. Eliza beths Roman Catholic
church Sunday morning Feb. % while
administering the sacrament to Ala.
Four expert brain experts have ex-
pressed the opinion that Ala is per
fectly sane. They examined him thor
oughly after he had recovered from
fear of summary vengeance.
Notwithstanding the results of the
observations of the specialists appoint
ed by the district attorney the defence
has engaged three alienists to be pres
ent during the trial. On the other
hand, the prosecution has summoned
eight alienists whose expert knowledge
will be used to offset any claims of in
sanity that may be raised by Alias
attorney.
AS to the alleged plot to. destroy
Roman Catholic priests, no evidence
has been found or at least it has not
developed Ala has made so many
conflicting statements since the as
sassination Of Father Leo that the dis
trict attorney cannot determine which
one if any, to believe.

TO CREATE PAPER FAMINE.
Herman Ridder Says This Why Paper
Mills Shut Down.

New York. March Sherman Rid
der, president of the American News
paper Publishers Association, has sent
Il letter to Attorney General Bona
parte in which he summarizes the
publishers statement of the alleged eff
forts of the American Paper and Pulp
Association to stihc competition, and
to increase prices. The effect Mr.. Rid
der declared, has been to put an addi-
tional burden of s6p.000,00O per annun
upon the printing and publishing in
tercsts of the country without any
other justification than the power of
combination. The letter was written
in reply to communication from the
attorney general to John Morris last
November, in which the attorney gem
eral asked for further Evidence tend
ing to establish the fact that there
exists an agreement or understanding
among such manufacturers to MAIN
tain or to increase prices of paper to
consumers.
1t tells of meetings held in New
York City in February. May and Au-
gust of last year at which the price Of
paper was advanced an aggregate ol
80 per ton and of meeting in No
vember when shutdown of a week
was declared to restrict production
Specific charges of agreements to ad-
vance the price Of box board, book
paper, writing and blotting paper are
made in the letter which describes
in great detail the alleged action of
manufacturers in combining to raise
the price of news print paper. "Vari-
Gus mills have been shut down for va
rious periods upon various pretexts,"
says the letter. We alege and expect
to be able to prove that some of these
mills were shut down to starve the
paper market and to create a paper
famine"

DESPERATE FIGHT
With WouId-be Escaping Prisoners
Official KiIIed-Three Men Injured.

Deer Lodge, Mont, March S.-War-
den Frank COnley of the Montana
penitentiary was severely wounded to-
day and Assistant Warden John Rob
inson was killed by three life convicts,
George Rock, w. II. Hayes and an
other, who tried to escape from prison.
Robinson's throat was cut and the
jug,llar vein was severed. Conley's
throat was slashed and he was stabbed
several times in the shoulder and the
groin before he was able to draw his
revolver and shoot down Hayes and
Rock, who were armed with pocket
knives 1t is believed that the warden
will recover
The three cOnvictS were taken to the
office of the penitentiary by Deputy
Warden Robinson to be tried before
Warden Conley for some infraction OF
the prison rules. Hayes had for sew
eral months been "trusty" and
served as turnkey. He was placed in
the same cell with Rock, who was re-
garded as a desperate man.
The moment the men entered the Of
flee Rock turned swiftly on Robinson,
who was closing the door behind them,
and, drawing a knife, Sashed the depu-
ty warden's throat so deeply that
Robinson fell helpless and soon died
At the same moment that Rock attack
ed Robinson, Hayes drew a knife and
started for conlcy, who rctreatcd to
the rear Of the office.
Before Conley could draw his re-
volver, Hayes had sprung Oh the war
den and slaShed his throat from the
left ear to Il place under his chin.
Conley half cluded the blow and strug-
gled DIES perately. Hayes, seeing his in
tended victim getting away, stabbed
the warden several times in the Shout
der and the groin.
Although bleeding terribly, Conley
managed to draw his revolver and fire
four times with the weapon pressed
against Hayes abdomen. AS Hayes
sank to the floor, Rock rushed at Con-
ley, who fired the two bullets into
Rocks breast and the latter fell help
less. Both convicts will probably re-
cover.
The third convict took to his heels
when the struggle began, but he was
refused to give his name until they
have investigated whether he was con
cerned in the plot.
How Hayes and Rock got the knives
is not known. 1t is believed7 that the
infractiOn of the rules had been plan
ned to reach the Warden'S office,
whence the cOnvictS would have Il
better chance to escape once the war
den and his deputy were out of the
way.
