They went directly to the hotel, where the former premier secluded himself in q private apartment A cordon of de- tectives was at once thrown around the hotel. An official who watched Franco a long time described his ap- pearance in the following words He looks i'll, dreadfully i'll. His face is lined and pallid and shows great suf- fering. He seems like a man in great fear"

BALL OPENS
 IN FLORIDA
Two Sets of Delegates to
 Republican Convention
Office Holders and Other Conventions Held In the Same Hall.

St. Augustine. Fla. Feb. 6.-Florida republicans stand conspiciCusly in the limelight today as being the first to hold a convention to select deelgates to the national convention and it is said that the strenuous and exciting scenes enacted today are a forecast of similar scenes in other southern states caused by efforts being made by the anti-ROosevelt Republicans for the control of the national conventions.
 Two conventions were really con- vened at the same time in the same hall. The progress of business was frequently interrupted by knockdown and dragout fights. The officeholders' faction was called to order by the chairman of the state committed They proclaimed themselves the regu- lar party. but they did not succeed in carrying out their program, the senti- ment being too strong for the leaders to hold in Check. Resolutions were adopted endorsing Taft for the pres idency.
 On the other side of the hall. the cOntesting convention took conserva- tive action and chose delegates un- trammeled by instructions. positive as surance being given by Joseph N. Stripling. who led the movement, that despite the fact that they were brand ed as bolters. the delegates they named would be seated in the nationaJ convention.
 The officeholders adopted resolu- tions approving the Roosevelt admin istration and the conservative man ner in which he has carried out his policies. They instructed their dele gates to support the presidents poli- cies and @ candidate who is in sym pathy then proceeded to name Taft as such candidate.
 The anti-Taft convention adopted resolutions cOndemning in strong terms attempts to influence and control by the use of federal patronage the selec- tion of delegates to the convention. in the interest of any presidential candi- date.
 The office holders elected as dele gates J. N. Coombs, member Of the national committee from Florida: Joseph E. Lee, colored, collector of in- ternal revenues: Henry S. Chubb re- ceiver of the land office at Gainesville; M B. Mcfarland, collector of customs at Tampa and four alrernates.

A MAN IN GREAT FEAR.
The Appearance of Franco When He
 Arrived at Madrid.

Madrid. Feb. 6.-Franco arrived to- day from Lisbon. He was accompan- jed by his wife and son and one of his intimate friends, Senor NOvotas. He is doing all possible to preserve the strictest incognito. So far as is known he received no one at the hotel where he stopped. with the exception of the Portuguese minister to Spain and the civil governor of Madrid. Few persons saw Franco when he arrived and scarcely any one recognized him. The moment the train stopped he hur- riedly stepped down with his over coat collar turned up and his hat pull ed over his face and seeking to es- cape possible identification.
 Word had privately reached the rail- road authorities that Franco was

LOWER HOUSE RESUMES
 BUSINESS OF LAW MAKING
Having Finished for the Time the Discus
 sion of the Presidents MesSaqe
The Administrations Naval Program Rejected by the Committee Though the Democratic Members O the House Will Flock to It's Assistance.

Washington. D. C., Feb. 6.-Politi- cal speech making came to an end in the house today and the actual con bill was resumed.
 bitter fight was waged on the proposition to abolish non- reservation schools. The subject was discussed throughout the afternoon The ques- tion was raised by the offering of an amendment by Delegate Smith of Ari- zona to restrain the appropriation for collecting and transporting Indian children from schools to states in which they live.
 MT. Smith believed, he said. in the principle that the Indians should be educated not with a view of helping himself but of helping his people He charged that in many cases where the Indians had gone back to the reserva- tion from nOn-reservation schools they became the worst Indians of all. On a viva voce vote the amendment was lost.
 Congressman Clayton of Alabama. spoke on the presidents recent message and held up the republicans as being divided into two factions. the -Reactionaries and the White House CuckoOs" The message he charged was an indictment against the Republican party for dereliction and incompetency. The consideration of the Indian appropriation bill was not concluded when the house at 5:O2 D. m. adjourned.
 Representative Hayes of California introduced a bill today authorizing the participation by the United States in an international exposition at To- kio and appropriating a sum to be ex- pended not to exceed $350. 900.

fer the building of two instead of four battleships, as urged by President Roosevelt and Secretary Metcalf. with the certainty of a heavy deficit and the prospect of a decreased revenue during, the next fiscal year and the general tendency on the part of the republicans in the house to hold down expenses. it is evident that the naval committee feels it will be wiser tO prune in the committee than to rec ommend measures of expenditure which will probably be voted down on the floor.
 IL is likely. however. that the com mittee will recommend an apprOpria- ton to cover tne reception into the navy of at least 5000 of the additional 6.O00 men asked for by the secretary of the navy to man the new battle ships. New Hampshire. Idaho. Iisshs- sippi and the new cruisers. North Carolina and Montana. soon to go into commission. The navy is now 600 men short of it's needs.
 It is assured that the impending proposal to cut down the baJtleship appropriation will be met by firm resistance on the part of the Demo- crats
 So earnest is the presidents desire that four battleships be provided for at this session that today he sent for five members of the committee. They went to the White House and were clOSeted with the president some time discussing the situation There is no difference of opinion as to the need of a larger navy. but the best means Of meeting the prospective opposition to the four ship appropriations was canvassed

HE RELEASE OF 1HAW

 After Observation That He Is Sane.

Matteawan, N. " Feb. G. Dr. Lamb, superintendent of the hospital for criminal insane. said to-day that if after % da-s or so it is his belief that ThaW is sane. it will be within the province of the hospital authorities to certif-' to the court and recommend his release. A commission in lunacy or other proceedings will not be nec- essary. he declared. The physicians are not making observations of ThaW yet, as they feel that he has not re covered from the excitement caused by the trial He is considered a model prisoner by the physicians.
 That there is friction among ThaWs counsel over the question whether to attempt to have him released is de- nied. IL is said that Evelyn Thaw has become reconciled to Thaw remaining in the hospital for the present. It is said to be unlikely that members of Thaw's family will visit him frequent ly at Matteawan.

GA resolution was introduced today by Senator Hey burn calling upon the president to furnish information concerning the Northern Pacific railroad company's alleged negotiations in taking over the property of the Great Northern and placing a value on it at a figure many millions in excess of the actual cost. The president was requested to inform the senate whether an investi- gatioR of the holdings of the company had been made.
 Senator Be~sridge introduced a res Clution today declaring that the tar if should provide for maximum and minimum rates of-duty. the first to ap- ply to all countries that will not grant this country special advantages in their markets, the second to apply to all countries that will grant special commercial advantages Both the maximum and minimum rates are re- quired to be arranged according to the principles of protection.

Lisbon, Feb. 6.-The new govern ments program or absence of program from a political standpoint was enun- ciated today by Premier Ferreira de Amaral in a declaration that he intend ed to enforce a respect for laws and public order for which present legisla- tion is amply efficient. Nothing ap- parently could be simpler than his plan for restoring normal conditions. Ths government in making this appeal to the country to obey the laws, sets an example by removing as far as possi- ble all traces of the exceptional regime of Franco, by annulling the powers contained in the hands of the cabinet, restoring the liberty of the press and parliamentary immunity, revOking the municipal boards appointed by the former premier and abolishing the eX- ceptional powers conferred on police tribunals.
 It does not grant amnesty but po- litical prisoners may go before the courts to be tried in accordance with law. Elections will be held as soon as possible and the people will make response.
 The flight of Franco from Lisbon to Madrid is confirmed. Franco's minis ter of finance, SenhOr CarvalhOe has also left Portugal. It is reported that the former minister of justice in Franco's cabinet. pr. Abreu has fled the country as well.
 When three deputies who mad been incarcerated in different prisons were released today there was no attempt in any way to make a demonstration.
 The secret and sudden flight of Franco from Lisbon across the frontier into Spain accompanied by his wife and son was caused by threats of death which had been made against him, since the murder of the king. Franco had been inreceipt of many let ters all threatening vengeance. Al ready Franco as dictator had been plotted against and gone about pro- tected by armed guards who also watched his house of late. Then there was the added enmit- of those who held Franco responsible indirectly at least. for the tragedy or Saturday.

ABE RUFF SEtS
 AVENUE OF ESCAPE
If IL Is Open to Him 1t Will Be Open to All Indicted in Connection With the Trolley Franchise.

san Francisco, Feb. 6.-On the ground that the defendant had never been arraigned and that a true copy of the indictment had not been served upon him Ruef through his attorneys this afternoon objected to further pro- ceedings in his trial on No. S23 of four teen United Railroads trolley indica- ments charging him with bribery. It was moved that the pretended and all ieged arraignment be nullified by the court and that the defendant be legally arraigned.
 Ruef commenced by discovering an alleged fatal omission in the copy of the indictment delivered him. The copy omitted to state that Ruef had bribed the supervisors with intent to corrupt them" as contained in the original. Ruef ia a lengthy affidavit declared that he did not make the dis cOvery until February 1st when he de . manded and first saw the original.
 On the request oi Assistant District Attorney O'Gara, Judge Lawler con- uinued the matter until tomorrow to give the prosecution an opportunity to make a counter showing. Should the court sustain the contention of ,Ruef 1t would not only nullify all the ar raignments and pleas of Ruef on the fourteen trolley indictments. but would similarly affect Calhoun, Mullally, Ford, Abbott and Schmitz, supposing the same omission is contained in the copies served upon them. It would enable Ruef and the other defendants to repeat all the tedious technical ob- jections and the filing oi motions and demurrers to the indictments which all ready have been disposed of.

CLIFF JEWELLERS OF UTAH.
Results of Investigations ard Explora-
tons of Prof. Cummings.

That the great mosas, cliffs and can
yOns that now form a large part Of
the dcSolatc region Included in San Juan
county. in the southeastern part of Utah,
were once the homes of an extensive
population that had reached some degree
of civilization is the opinion of Prof
Byron Cummings of the University Of
Utah. who has just returned from a
three months exploration trip in that
region. 1t has already been established
that this desert stretch was once iuhah-
itcd but through the efforts OF Prof.
Cummings and his co-wOrkerS it is
shown that the people there arrived at
a considerable degree of cieverneSs in
building and the manufacture of pot
terry aud weapons. Considerable time
was spent in exploring the old pueblos
of the mesas, and Prof. Cummings be
lieves the people who occupied the pu-
eblus were the same as those who dwelt
on the meSas.
About twenty-five miles from Mont
cello the party eXCavated a large ruin at
the head of Ruin canyon. on Alkah
ridge. Three kivaS, or ceremonial cham
bers. were opened, the ruin containing
altogether forty kivas. While these
ruins are similar to those found in other
parts of San Juan county apparently
they we're much more ancient Tie peo-
pie who built them also built strong de
fenSve works on the rim rocks around
the heads of canyons, and their dwelling
places covered many acres of ground
Judging from the number of kipas it is
believed that a large number of clans
occupied each pueblo The exploration
work was under the direction OF the
American Society Of Archaeology.

Of Harvard, were also with Prof. Cum

Manor House of Todwick.

Lovers of "Ivanhoe'' will regret to
learn that the moat which once defend
or Torquilstone castle has been drained.
So far as situation and location are con
r,rned the site of Front de Boeufs
stronghold. the siege Of which is So
thrillingly described 10y Scott, is identical
with that of Todwck manor house 4
very ancient mansion not far from Tod
wick church and situated about half
mile distant from where till a few years
ago stood the dccayed trunk of the fam
Gus trystins tree in Harthill walk.
4 young oak, grown from queen
oak" acorn in Sherwood forest, was
planted by the Duke Of Leeds on the
spot where the old TRUSTING tree stood,
and a walk straight across country brings
one to the manor house. The moat was
fairly wide and deep, and III digging up
part of the ground traces of the foundi.
ton of a previous building were found.
Not far removed from the manor house
there is still to be seen the renah.s OF
the small religious house, now converted
into a cottage, to which fyanhoe was
removed upon his rescue from the burn
