TELLS OF CRIME
Young Italian Who Dynamited Train
in Montana Declares He Was Alone
When Crime Was Committed.

Butte, Mont, May SIN detailed
confession, Lewis Ferris, the young
Italian who dynamited the Burlington
train near Bird Friday night, in which
two men lost their lives, tells of break
ing the lock on the powder house west
of the Olive Branch mine, with rock,
and stealing forty-five sticks of dyna-
mite, and of placing the entire amount
on the tracks. Ferris watched the eN-
plosion, which wrecked the train, then
assisted the conductor of the train in
summoning aid. He yesterday piloted
the officers about the scene of the ex-
plosion and to the powder house, ex-
planning how he stole the powder and
his method of wrecking the train.
Ferris declares he alone is to blame for
the dynamiting, and claims he was
drunk at the time. His actions and
general demeanor impress one as be-
ing those of half-witted person.

CREW ALL LANDED
But the German Ship Peter Rickmers,
Ono of the Finest Sailing Vessels
Afloat, is a Total Wreck.

New York, May S.-The crew of the
and the wreckers on board. seventy
two in all, were safely landed by life
saving crews early this morning 1t
is believed that not single one slf-
fered any permanent harm. The wind
and sea gradually went down during
the night The stern of the steamer
was knocked off by the heavy seas, and
it is total wreck. She was one of
the finest sailing vessels afloat.
The Rickmers struck a sandbar
about ten miles from Fire Island, April
80, while bound out from New York for
Europe At first 1t was believed that
she would be floated without difficulty,
but as the wind continued, she drove
further and further on the shelving
bar. Her position became serious.
Even then, when the wind decreased,
1t was believed that she would be
tloated without serious damage, and
after a portion Of her cargo of case oil
had been jettisoned, a large force of
wreckers were set at the task, and ex-
cellent progress was being made up
to last Tuesday night. when a great
storm broke on the coast. The wind
increased so rapidly in force. and the
sea assumed such proportions that the
wrecking tugs were forced to flee for
their own safety, leaving behind on the
ship thirty nine salvagers and thirty
three of the crew of the Rickmers. AS
the storm increased the waves drove
the big vessel steadily back on the. bar.
and one by one her masts went by the
board, and the waves surging over her
crumbling hulk, threatened to sweep
every living thing on board into the
sea. Life savers on the beach sent
lines to the Rickmers. but before a
single man could be hauled ashore. the
ropes parted. and the storm continued
to grow in intensity. The plight of the
men on the wrecked ship became more
desperate Five crews from the life
saving stations We're on the beach, but
the surf boats were useless in the sea,
and the only hope was in the sub
sidence of the storm, or shooting lines
over the ship.

Votes taken on some of the amend
ments offered by Senator LaFolette
are also interesting to the people of
Iowa at this time. On the LaFollette
amendment to provide that the rail-
roads could not charge more for
short haul than for longer when the
shorter is included in the longer, Sem
ator Dolliver voted no" and Senator
Allison did not vote at all. On the
LaFollette amendment to restore the
provision of the law of 1887 that Of
ficials shall be liable to Imprisonment
for violation of the law instead of be-
ing forced to pay a fine which really
comes out Of the pockets of the pat
rons of the road there was a substi-
tute offered by Lodge which left out
the Imprisonment feature For this
substitute Dolliver votes AYE" and
Allison did not vote. Delivers vote
was thus registered in favor OF a fine
only of which no railroad afraid.
LaFollette offered one amendment to
prevent the trick OF withdrawing tes-
tinony. On this Dolliver voted mo"
and Allison did not vote.
LaFollette offered an amendment to
provide that federal judges would be
disqualified from hearing and decid-
ing cases when they owned stocks or
bonds of railroads or rode on a pass.
On this Senator Hale said: Mr.. Pres
ident, have some respect for the ju-
dietary of the United States. I think
there should be a halt in the senate
somewhere. so I move to lay the
amendment upon the table and upon
that motion l ask for the yeas and
nays"
Both Senator Allison and Senator
Dolliver voted for this motion of Hale
of New England to lay the amendment
on the table.
LaF'ollette offered an amendment to
have a valuation of the railroads so
that the people could pay rates that
would be fair remuneration on the
money actually invested in the roads
so that the people would not have
to pay rates that would give an inter-
est on the seven billions of dollars Of
water in railroad stocks On this
Senator Hale again moved to lay the
amendment on the table. Senator Al
lison, as usual, failed to vote. Sen
ator Dolliver. for once. voted with
Senator LaFollette. against laying 1t
on the table.

Berlin, May S.-Prince Philip Zuea.s
enburg was today placed under actual
arrest. The crown prosecutor took this
step as the result of testimony given
yesterday, to the effect that Prince
Zueulenburg had been guilty OF wrong
full actions with them twenty five years
ago. The prince was taken into cussi
tody at his castle and brought in an
ambulance automobile forty miles to
a charity hospital, where he is de-
tanned pending further investigation Of
the charge Of perjury made against
him.
The princes arrest is taken to mean
the irretrievable ruin of this brilliant
man, who at one time was the confi-

The prince had been nearer to his
majesty during the greater part Of his
reign than any other German subject.
empire If he had not refused the re-
sponsibility incident to this post. This
he did possibly because stories Of se-s
cret misconduct have long been circu-l
lating against him, SO much so that
he has lived on the brink Of disclosure
for the past ten years. He voluntar-s
lily gave up the position Of German
ambassador at Vienna In 1902, be-
cause as was commonly gossiped at
the time, group of his enemies
threatened him with exposure.
The statement that Zueulenburg adj
vised the emporer in political matters
had been made by the men who sought
to displace the prince IN the imperial
confidence, intimating that there was
danger to the state in the alleged
fact that the emperor turned from his
constitutional advisers to a friend be-
hind the screen, who was responsible
to no one but his majesty himself. This
constantly repeated statement never
had been confirmed, but everybody In
official life has known that the em-
peror was delighted with the cham-.

some European sovereigns Reports
concerning these letters probably are
exaggerated, but even so, there would
appear to be enough truth in the rumor
to place 1t within the princes power to
create much embarrassment by their
publication.
Prince Zueulenburg was involved in,
the court scandal in Berlin that grew
out Of charges brought by MaximilieH
Harden, editor Of Die Sukunft, last
summer. At the second Harden trial
the court declared all the charges made
by Harden were absolutely without
foundation. After the conclusion Of the
Harden case the public prosecutor
started proceedings against Zueulen-s
burg and the arrest Of today is the
outcome, 1t is possible the prince will
be released in $250,00O bail
