RUSSIAN EX|LEs ESCAPE
CARS VICTIMS SHOOT SEVEN
CoSSACkS IN BREAK.
Siberian Prisoners Fight Way to
Freedom in Alaska-Some Die
From Exposure.

Seattle. Wash, July 11.-Informa
ton concerning the escape of the
band of political convicts in the int
rior of Siberia, who are making their
way toward East Cape, on the ex
IRENE east coast, in an effort to reach
Alaska, was brought to Seattle by
John w. Kelly, who has long been
identified with affairs in the Arctic.
THE first word of the escape of the
convicts reached Capt N. E. Kallini-
koff, acting governor at Nichniy, Ka-
limsk, 1900 miles from East Cape,
March 49," said Mr.. Kelly. HE i'm.
mediately sent detachment of his
men In pursuit. They overlook and
engaged the exiles 100 miles from the
post. The Cossacks were defeated
and seven of them killed. Several of
the exiles met the same fate.
Reduced in numbers by death from
exposure and many having been
killed in battles with natives, the
band numbered 20 when last heard
from. They have looted villages and
killed only in cases where their de-
mands for dogs, food and reindeer
have been refused.
Capt. Kallinikoff dispatched band
of messengers to East Cape, who
struggled for 1900 miles over the
rough wilderness of the peninsula,
several perishing on the way, with a
warning to the commander of the gar
rison at East Cape.
"The escaped convicts are not of
the low criminal class, but are polit-
ical prisoners. Upon receipt of the
letter from Capt. Killinikoff at East
Cape on June 20, the day left, word
was Immediately sent to Vladivostok
for gunboat to patrol the coast"

VINCENT A. ALTMAN, FORMER
POLICEMAN, ARRESTED AS THE
HEAD OF BOMB THRoWERs.
BOND IS FIXED At $4,000
Purchaser Of Dynamite Shipped
to Felix Sharkey-Labor
Leaders Protest.

Chicago, July 1.-THE police are

cent A. Altman, former policeman
the head of the ring of bomb throw
ers that has terrorized Chicago for
two years.
Altman is being held under $4,000
bond, $4,000 on each of seven com
plants, and Judge McSurely, before
whom he was arraigned, set his hear.
ing for Thursday.
1t was said four additional suspects
among them a close associate of
skinny Madden-had been taken
into custody and were being held at
the Central Station under guard of
Detectives Charles Peters and Will
liam Collins, who would not allow
even other policemen to see the men.
Police officials who discussed the
case, said that included in the evil
dence against Altman was the follow
ing:
Alleged partial Identification of Alt
man by an official of the Dupont
LIE Nemours Powder company as the
man who bought twenty-five pounds
of dynamite from the company to be
shipped to Felix Sharkey at Morgan
Park. The order was given May II.
Alleged identification by Waterman
John Raymond, who was stationed in
the rear of the Chicago Title and
Trust building on the night bomb 81
was exploded two weeks ago, as one
of several men seen in the alley i'm
mediately after the explosion.
The police also declare they have
evidence connecting Altman with the
dynamiting and burning of the fac
tory of the Standard Sash and Door
company, 5S19 Center avenue, year
ago. The police desire to question
Altman's brother, Joseph. He had
not been found.
Labor leaders declare the gambling
element is guilty of the crime. An
indignation meeting, when every
member of the labor organizations in
the city will be urged to become an
amateur detective and run down
every clew regarding the recent dyna-
hitting, will be held Sunday. Vigor-
Gus speeches against the action of the
police will be made.
Labor leaders declare the police
are making labor the scapegoat for
their inefficiency in trapping the real
dynamiters

Identification by Veins.

A new method of Identification oil
prisoners has been devised by means
of photographs taken of the veins on
the back of the hand. Prof Tomas
STA, an Italian professor, the inventor
bases his method on the observation
that no two persons have the veins
on the back of the hand so much
alike as to allow room for confusion
less, indeed, than with finger prints.
The prisoners hand is held down.
ward for several minutes, or the pulse
at the wrist is restrained, and the
veins are then photographed. This
photograph, Prof. Tomassia says, will
always be available for explicit proof,
whereas criminals now understand
that with an ordinary razor they can
operate on their own hands without
much pain or inconvenience, and may
change the pattern of the finger print
beyond chance of Identification.
To burn the finger tips is more
painful, but perhaps even more eff
fective. On the other hand, as Prof
Tomassia points out, only a serious
and dangerous operation can modify
the veinal system.

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that food which was a,
brain and nerve builder (rather than
mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
| desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in marked sturdi.
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making it a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, c. w. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.

several policemen opportunity for

The excitement in the neighborhood

PALACE OF PHARAOH HOPHRA
Prof. Flinders Petrie Has Uncovered
Abode of King Who Reigned
B. C. 629-588.

The great result of the work of this
year carried on at Memphis by Prof.
Flinders Petrie under the auspices of
the British school of archaeology has
been the discovery of the palace of
King Apries, the Pharaoh Hophra of
the bible, who was contemporary with
Jeremiah, b. c. 629-5s8.
Hitherto no palace has been known
In Egypt other than the tower of Med
met Habu and some portions of a
rather earlier date. The palace was
400 feet long and 200 feet broad, with
a middle court 100 feet square. 1t
was adorned with painted columns 40
feet high and surrounded with stone
lined walls 10 feet thick. The ap.
proach to the palace led up through
a large mass of buildings to a plat
form at height of about GO feet
above the plain.
In the ruins scale armor, hitherto
rarely found in Egypt, was discovered
Good bronze figures of the gods were
also found. What Prof. Petrie de-
scribes as supreme piece was the
lifting of palanquin of solid silver
a pound in weight, decorated with a
bust of Hathor, with a gold face OF
finest workmanship of the time OF
Apries.
The great gateway and immense
walls descend deep into the mound,
indicating that there lie ruins OF sue
cessiye palaces built one over the
other. Prof. Petrie prophesies that
