CRAZY MAN
WOULD RULE
SENATE CHAMBER

Washington, April 23.--The deliber-
ations OF the senate were rudely dis
turbed this afternoon by a visitor in
the public gallery. It was in the
midst of a lull in the debate on the
naval appropriation bill when stran-
ger arose and addressed the vice pres
ident:
"Mr. Fairbanks" he exclaimed in
loud voice. He was instantly recog-
nized by the chair. also by the door
keepers who made hurried descent
upon him. They did not reach him in
time to prevent the second outbreak:
"Mr. Fairbanks. now proclaim my
self the head OF this house"
Before this utterance' had fairly es-
capped his lips the doorkeepers were
upon him. A one-armed soldier reach
ed him first and pushed him over,
without assistance. Three doorkeep-
ers and n policeman carried and push
ed him out OF the gallery. When he
reached the detention room In the
basement II was evident that the man
was crazy and he was locked up for
examination as to his sanity. Papers
on his person showed that he had
served as an ordinary seaman In the
navy. He gave esseveral names.
Earlier in the day he had appeared
at the navy department and announc-
ed that he had some to take charge OF
the Office and to relieve Secretary
Metcalf. AS he showed no violent
symptoms he was INDUCED for time
and allowed to depart without the
aid OF the police.

boomers at Chicago will use automo-
blles to entertain delegates. hoping
thereby to win their favor. The
scheme was originated by Charles s..
Mernley. OF New Cactle. Mr.. Kelley
wrote to prominent automobile maxi
er and suggested that his company
furnish Fairbanks cars for the eonven-
tion. An answer received today said
in part:

Delegates from Indiana will meet In
this city May and organize by elect
ing a chairman. IL had been thought
that Senator Beveridge would be chos-
en-, but since he has been talked OF
as temporary chairman OF the con-
vention. II is likely that Senator Hem
enway and GoyerEor Haniy will be
selected.

EARLY MASS CHIMES BARRED.
Residents Of Jersey Town Complained
That Their Sleep Was Disturbed.

Montclair, n. J.-Residents here
have protested against the early ring.
ing of the chimes of the new Immacu-
late Conception church, which cost
the congregation several thousand
dollars. The protest was made to
Mayor Henry V. Crawford, who com.
municated the complaint to Rev. VIII.
liam A. Brothers, pastor OF the church.
There is no ordinance governing the
case, but Father Brothers announced
that hereafter the sounding of the
"Angelus" at six O'Clock every morn.
ing would be discontinued, and that
the bells would not be rung until seven
a, m.
The residents of the town com.
planned to Mayor Crawford that the
ringing of the bells early in the morn.
ing disturbed their slumber. The
pastor said he would defer to the
wishes of the people. but sarcastically
remarked that he did not know wheth.
er 1t was the peaceful slumbers or the
guilty consciences OF late sleepers on
Sunday morning that were disturbed
by the peals of the chimes.

PEDESTRIAN GETS BRIDE.
Man, on 25,ooo-Mlle Walk, Webs as
Part Of Wager.

Buffalo, N. Y.--One year ago last
February Josper Mikulec, a newspaper
man of Vienna, left his home in Aus
tria on a wager.
Its conditions were that he must
walk $4,000 miles in five years, leave
Austria penniless. must not beg on
his way, and lastly, return with a
wife. He came heel and toe in Buffalo
on what he says is the last lap of his
journey, and walking by his side was
the necessary wife. He only got her
last week In Erie, Pa. She Is pretty
Roumanian girl, who worked in res
taurant there and waited upon Miku-
lee. He told her of his undertaking,
and proposed. They walked together
to Westfield, about 80 miles east OF
Erie, where they were married on
Sunday. The girl claims TO be the
heel and toe champion of Roumania,
saying she did 900 miles there in one
contest. Both started for Niagara
Falls. They expect to go over into
Canada and then cut back into the
United States and sail from New York
for Austria.
Mikulec tramped all over Europe be.
fore he left the continent on his wa.
ger. Then he sailed to South Ameri-
ca and walked up through the 18th
mus of Panama.

HELD POSITION WITH RIFLES.
Early Day Incident Of Construction
Isn't Likely to Occur Again.

Probably there will never again take
place such a tremendous railroad bat
tie as that which occurred during the
late '7Os between the Denver & Rio
Grande under Gen. Palmer and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, says APP
pleton's That was a war typical OF
the early western Methods battle
royal for the state of Colorado Force
and subterfuge counted for more than
the mandates of the court. At that
time an engineer of one line on going
to occupy pass through the noun
tains found it already held by rep
resentative of the rival line, backed by
hundred men armed with Winches-
tiers.
by what authority do you occupy
this pass?" was the question.
by the authority of these rifles and
the supreme court" was the reply, sig
nificant in that the rifles came first.
And it was typical of the times. The
tale Of the struggle for the now IA
nous Royale gorge between these two
lines, which later spread into fight
throughout the state, Is in itself a
most amazing story. Then 1t was that
Gen. Palmer, fighting fire with fire,
looped the telegraph lines into his
house and sat all night listening to his
enemy's plans. Then 1t was, too,
that since famous westerner in the
employ of the Santa Fe held a fort
against the Rio Grande claims. But
though famous as killer the bad
man" was also anxious for money
and eventually the Rio Grande crowd
who could not dislodge him by force,
accomplished this end with gold.
Romance of this sort is indeed gone,
and happily so. But new romance
has succeeded the old. Railroads still
differ, but their battles are battles of
brains, not of force. The fight is
fought with the SKILL cunning and sci
ence of the engineer and traffic expert,
shown in the wise selection of the
right route at the very start, and Sc
curing advantages in construction and
strategic position which shall be abid-
ing for all time.

here erected by the race antedating
the Indians, and which gave the place
its name, announces that sentimental
considerations are no longer adequate
to prevent him from removing that
pile of earth and Its contents to give
place to modern improvements.
Several years ago McFadden was
tempted to cut the property up into
building lots, but he was induced to
delay, A subscription WAS started
among school children to purchase the
mound, but the amount raised was too
small. The owner again intimated he
could not afford TO allow the property
to remain in its present shape, paying
taxes upon it and getting no returns.
Various plans for purchasing the
mound have been suggested, but no
definite steps have been taken and
now McFadden announces he will
start TO remove the mound unless he
is given positive assurance that 1t will
be purchased from him at fair price.
When the work of removal starts,
