GEST ONS NOT FAVORED

Washington, March 10.-Represen-

ations for submarines. 80 .....

.CoNvICTS AT TEMPT ESCAPE
THEY MAKE A MURDEROUS AS
sAuLT ON WARDEN.
The Assistant. Ward n is Killed and
the Warden Badly Wounded.
Two Convicts Shot.

Deer Lodge, Mont, March 9.-War.
den Frank Conley of the Montana
state penitentiary, was dangerously
wounded yesterday morning and his
first assistant warden John Robinson
was killed, when three life convicts,
George Rock, w. H. Hayes and an
other whose name is not given made
dash for liberty.
Robinsl ms throat was cut and the
jugular vein severed. Conley's throat
was gashed and he was stabbed sew
eral times before he was able to draw
his revolver and shoot Convicts Rock
and Hayes. -. .& s&-t>-
The attack and attempted escape
had long been planned by Rock and
Hayes who we're cellmates. Both
were armed with penknives sharpen
ed like razors.
The three convicts were brought to
the Office of the prison by Deputy
Warden Robinson, to be tried for
some trivial infraction of the rules,
and Conley was waiting to sit in
Judgment.
Office door Rock turned swiftly upon
Robinson, who was closing the door
behind the men, and quickly drawing
knife, he began slashing at the
deputy warden's throat.
His throat was cut wide open ard
he sank to the floor dying at the
same moment. Hayes drew knife
and started for Conley. The latter re-
treated to the rear of the Office, but
before he could draw his gun, Hayes
had slashed his throat, cutting him
from the left ear to a point under the
chin.
The convict seeing his intended
victim getting away, grappled with
him and stabbed him several times in
the shoulder and the groin.
Although bleeding terribly, Conley
managed to draw his gun and fired
four times with the weapon pressed
against Hayes abdomen.
AS Hayes sank to the floor, Rock
rushed at Conley, who emptied the re.
naming cartridges into Rock and the
latter also went down.
The third convict, who had been
called into the Office, took to his
heels at the first of the battle, but
was quickly captured and placed in
his cell. The authorities refused tc
give out his name until they had in
vestigated whether he was concerned
in the plot. How the convicts
Hayes and Rock, secured possession
of the knives is mystery.

Detroit BANKER
SHOOTS himself
ellWooD HANcE, FIRST VICE
PRESIDENT OF UNION TRUST
COMPANY, ENDS LIFE.
WAS POSTMASTER
OF CITY OF DETROIT
Financial Troubles Said 60 Be the
Cause Of His Rash Act-DecIared
That tho Accounts Of Bank Are All
Straight.

Detroit, Mich. Mar. 7.-Edward T.
Hance, first vice-president of the
Onion Trust Company of this city. and
former postmaster of Detroit, shot
and killed himself early Friday In his
home here. Friends say that he had
been greatly depressed over his own
anancial affairs for some time.
Mr.. Hance's health also had not
been good, and 1t Is supposed that
this aggravated the worry and i'm.
pelled him to shoot himself. Mr..
Hance was born in Wilmington, DEL,
Sc years ago, and came to Detroit in
1878. He was admitted to the bar
and in 1898 was appointed postmaster
When the Union Trust Company was
orEanized he was made secretary and
later vice-president.
Mr.. Hance rose about six o'clock
from the bed where he had, 20 far az
known, slept quietly all night, and Sc
cured a revolver. He retired to a
rear bedroom of his home, and there
placed the muzzle Of the revolver in
his mouth and pulled the trigger. The
bullet crushed upward through his
head and death was instantaneous.
President F. w. Blair of the Union
Trust Company and Henry Russell,
one Of the directors and the CON-
pany's legal counsel, deny emphatically
that the affairs of the Union Trust
Company are in any way involved by
any Of Mr. Hance's financial diff
culues. They also deny that the af
fairs Of the failed City Savings bank
for which the Union Trust Company
is receiver, are entangled because Of
Mr.. Hance's management.
Tho officers Of the Union Trust
Company, in a statement which they
issued at noon declared Mr.. Hances
accounts with the company are in ex-
cellent shape and that his suicide
could only have been occasioned by
causes beyond their knowledge. The
statement says Mr.. Hance had al
ways been a faithful and jealous off,
cial Of the Union Trust Company.

The new CONGO TREATY
KING LEOPOLD GIVES UP CROWN
DOMAIN TO BELGIUM.
Latter Assumes Debts Of Conqo-Pact
Will Meet Opposition In Cham S
Der Of Deputies.

Brussels, Mar. 7.-Although rough
canvass of the chamber of deputies
by friends of King Leopold indicates
that the body is in favor Of the new
Congo annexation treaty by a ma
jority of 80, the members of the oppo-
sition, encouraged by the partial sur.
render of his majesty, already are pre-
pairing for q desperate fight against
any restriction upon Belgium's con.
troll Of the Congo and liberty to eradi-
cate the abuses of the existing regime.
The new treaty was submitted to par
lament Thursday by Premier Scho:.
laert and was sent to committee with
out debate. Tho opposition regards
the recognition Of private concessions
as 4 limit upon the exercise Of the
sovereignty Of Belgium, and conse-
quently as absolutely inadmissible.
King Leopold. members of the oppo-
sition say, would retain an immense
indirect revenue from these private
concessions. The financial side of the
transaction also is most unsatisfac-
tory to tho opposition.
According to the terms Of tho new
treaty, King Leopold agrees to aban-
don tho crown domain and the crown
foundation to Belgium. Belgium. on its
part, shall not only assume al the
Congo obligations, amounting to $21,-
100000, but undertake also TO con-
tinue the kings part in tho Congo
revenues during his lifetime. Belgium
is specifically required to respect the
concessions granted to two American
companies in 1905, in which Thomas
+. Ryan is interested.

COME details of the training work of
- the Irish-American athletes before
they went to the Olympic games
have just come to light. They are likely
to have an important bearing on ath-
letics OF the future.
Desiring to take no chances on Flana-
gan losing out in the hammer-throwing
contest, William Pendergast, formerly n
policeman and an inventor, designed a
pair of ball-bearing shoes for Flanagan
that would accelerate the whrl necessary
before turning loose the wire cord which
holds the heavy weight
Flanagan and his friends thought we'll
of the idea and it was decided to give
the invention thorough test Flanagan
examined the shoes very closely and
found that Pendergast had put small
plate directly under the ball of the foot
and it was fitted in a skillfully contrived
set of ball bearings. This was intended
to relieve the thrower from the hard

UNIQUE METHODS OF

Flanagan was yelling for help. but no.
body would dare to come within twenty
feet of the whirlng weight
In another moment the committee be-
came panic-stricken and fled i'm all direc-
tons. Nothing could stop Flanagan and
it was finally decided under pressure to
let him go until he would run down like
an eight-day clock.
AS the perspiring Flanagan was about
to give up and take a chance on the ball
going where it would, perspiration began
to fill his shoe and this. mingling with
the clouds of dust. clogged up the ma
chinery While still going around at a
mile minute speed the emergency brake
turned on with a sharp click
So suddenly did Flanagan stop that the
weight was jerked from his hand, and
as the big athlete fell to the ground
the hammer went sailing out of sight
AS far as can be CLEANED from meager
information. Flanagan's hammer landed
in marble yard and broke up two tons
