BECOMES INDIGNANT
When told that he Rode a
Freight Train Out.
Says He Has Gained Three Hun
dred Miles on Weston and is sure
He Will Beat Him to Frisco.

Sergeant John Walsh, of the
United States army, who says he is
walking IRON Boston to San Fran
cisco, expecting to oyertake and pass
Pedestrian Weston and to beat his
rival into San Francisco, arrived
here at three o'clock yesterday al
ternoon and departed last night.
Weston left New York on March
10, while Walsh claims to have left
Boston on April 8, twenty-four days
later. Pedestrian Walsh says that
he has already gained 800 miles on
the older man and that he is daily
cutting down the distance.
Clad in an army kaiki uniform Of
a sergeant, with knee leather boots
and rough rider hat, with knapsacll
slung over his shoulder, Walsh pre-
sents rather unique appearance and
he attracted much attention while
here.
Walsh recently completed a trip
from San Francisco to Boston on
which he passed through here,
spending the night as a guest of
members OF a local lodge to which
order he claims membership At
that time rather uncomplimentary
things were said of him after he left
and It was claimed by several that
they saw him leave here between
the two freight cars instead of on
the dusty roads that he claimed he
was travelling.
All of this Walsh denies and Of
fers as proof the signatures of city
officials and lodge officers in every
place he has been, He says that he
walks from early morning until
about midnight during favorable
weather, eating and sleeping for
several hours about midday. Walsh
will beat Weston Into San francisco
but whether or not he will do it by
riding freights occasionally cannot
be foretold.

WAS KILLED In A
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
Steam Shovel Struck an Old
Charge.
VIM. ZwilIing will 60 to Nimrod,
Montana for Remains of His
Brother.

William Zwilling, OF West Center
street, who IS employed with the
Marion Steam Shovel company, re-
ceived a telegram Wednesday even
ing, stating that his brother, j. H..
Zwilling, had been killed in the eX-
plosion of dynamite at Nimrod, Mon
tana, late Tuesday afternoon. The
dead man was quite well known
here where he has visited his broth
er frequently. His home is at Up
per Sandusky.
According to information from Mis-
soula, Montana, the explosion killed
seven men and four men were IA
tally injured. The men were en-
ployed on the right-of-way of the
Milwaukee road, now being con-
structed near Nimrod. 1t appears
that steam shovel arm had struck
an old change OF dynamite, which
had missed fire and the steam shovel
was blown TO pieces. The four men
were upon the shovel at the time and
were killed among them being the
brother of Mr.. Zwilling.
The lads had lived at Upper San.
dusky, and came 20 this city some
years ago in search of work. The
dead man was here a short time
and later accepted the position which
he held when he was killed. Mr..
zwilling will probably go to the
scene and bring his brothers re-
mains back to Upper Sanduslly.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition oi

Police and Mayor. are Having their
Troubles with Fruit Dealers on
South Main Street.

John White, a colored gentleman
who was picked up in the Erie yards
late Wednesday night by Erie detec-
tive Thomas Griffin, declared in may
or's court Thursday morning that he
would rather serve thirty days in the
Columbus work house than to remain
in the haunted" cell at the city prls-
on another night.
White had been lettering on the
Erie right-of-way and was arrested
purely on suspicion. When he was
taken before Mayor Scherff Thurs
day, it was determined to give him a
severe sweating out.
Mayor explained the haunted con-
dition of the city prison and declar-
ed that few men have been able to
spend a single night in cell No. l
which is alleged to be inhabited by
the spirit of "Shoe String Jack, the
peddler who hung himself several
months ago. The negro admitted that
he had heard strange noises about
the prison corridors Wednesday
night but declared that he could see
nothing. The court induced the pris-
oner to admit that he had been ar
rested several times and had been
committed to the work house. lie

coat, containing a picture of pret-

White admitted that he had heard
lots about spirits but declared that
he was not familiar with the methods
of handling them. He begged of the
mayor not to conflne him another
night in the "haunted" prison and
promised to leave town at once anC
to be forever and ever good. The
mayor gave him the opportunity.

Unless the fluit dealers on south

OF dumping rotten products into the

and If they will not do It willingly
the police will be forced to compel
them.

PUT $AOO
MSTAMPS

Returning legislators from
Olympia won't confirm this prob
ably, but they are not likely to
deny 1t If you put 1t straight.
The state tax commission found
itself with $1,000 of it's appropria-
ton unused. 1t had no actual de-
mand for the money, but if the COM
mission finished the year with it
the money would go back into the
state treasury. So they bought
$1400 worth of stamps.
or course, the regular appropria-
ton for the next two years was suf-
ficient to take care of the commits
sion's office expenses among other
things, but II would never do to
turn money once appropriated back
into the state treasury. Possibly
the state has reason to be thankful
that they invested it in anything so
useful as stamps, even if they were
not needed.
All of which goes to show the
various definitions of the "econom-
ical administration" business we
hear so much about in campaign
times.

ITALIANS HAVE
A CELEBRATION

Nocli Fanchatta, an Italian labor
er, is in the emergency hospital
with bullet wound In his jaw and
another in his shoulder as the re-
suit of what he declares was moth
ing more than, "da celebrach da
Fourth da july" but the police are
looking for John Massota, alleged
to have fired the bullets.
Fanchatta was found in bed with
his wounds roughly dressed by
some inexperienced hand late yes
terday as the result of information
given Officer Chester Edwards by
an Italian who begged that his
identity be kept secret because of
his fear of the BLACK Hand" The
police surmise that the shooting Is
the result of jealous quarrel be-
tween Fanchatta and Massota, who
has a wife and children.

Ever since early last evening the
police have been searching for

ABILITY AND
NOT SENIORITY
WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE
APPOINTMENT OF A POLICE
CAPTAIN, SAYS COMMISSION.
Err TUERkE.

Personal merit, character and
ability will be taken into consid-
GRAFTON above seniority by the po-
lice commissioners in choosing a
new police captain to succeed Cap
tain James Coverly, soon to retire.
A whole list of possibilities for
this job are ON file. and Sergeant
of Police Tom Herndon, one of the
older members of the department,
now acting captain, has already
been called before Commissioner
Tuerke, probably as a means of
testing his merits for the approach
ing vacancy.
"While 1t is always policy and
fair that seniority should be con-
sidered In choosing a man from a
department TO take higher office,
II is a duty to the people that those
who have the power of appoint
ment owe that they shall make the
selection carefully" Commissioner
Tuerke told The Press when asked
II man from among the oldest
members Of the department would
not be chosen to take Coverly's
place.
Should we find a man even 10
points down the line in seniority,
who has peculiar ability that is
necessary in filling this office, 1t
will be our duty to the people to
select him rather than to pick one

To DISMISS INDICTMENTS
AGAINST SCH|VELY
Pressure Will Be Brought
on Prosecutor
Pugh.

Pressure is being brought to
bear on Prosecuting Attorney Pugh
of Spokane county to secure the
dismissal of indictments returned
by the grand jury here, charging
State Insurance Commissioner
Schively with embezzlement and
perjury in connection with the Pa
cific Livestock Co.
The object Of the dismissal Is to
open the way for Schively to re-
sign his state office and choke off
any further proceedings against
him. 1t is understood that Schively
has been assured that his daughter
will be retained In a good position
in a state office If he resigns.
If the impeachment charges
come to trial before the senate,
acquittal will be asked on three
grounds. The first is that Schive1y
is accused as state insurance COM
missioner of crimes alleged to have
occurred while he was simply dep
uty commissioner and that as COM
missioner he cannot now be held
In jeopardy of his office for things
that transpired before he occupied
that office.
The second ground Is that a
Schively was not public official
but merely deputy his superior
only could have been legally an
swerable for the offenses.
Sam Nichols, secretary OF state.
now resigned, was state insurance
commissioner at the time Schiva-
ly's offenses are alleged. s.
The third argument for acquittal
Is that Schively has not deprived
the state Of single dollar it was
legally entitled to.
as to Schiyely's right to appeal to
the supreme court II impeached.
Some attorneys hold that he has
the right, while others maintain
that the senate is. the sole trial
body in such cases. Were Schive-
ly's office abolished, however. It Ii
held that he wuold have the right
OF appeal on the ground that he
had been deprived of an office to
which he was regularly elected
without due process of law.
Shively's friends are urging the
dismissal of the Spokane indict-
ments and retirement of Schively
as the best way not of the mess.
The indictment counts are incor-
porated In the charges to be
brought before the senate.
What Pugh will finally say to
the proposition is uncertain, as he
will not admit that anything OF the
kind is under consideration. Advo-
Gates of this course hold that in
view Of the heavy cost the Inn
peachment proceeding must entail,
Spokane county authorities couId
find 1t expedient to drop furt6or
prosecution were Schiyely to -
thereby obviated from office. p1kh.
however, has his professions lrcpu.
tation at stake before the public in
the grand jury proceedings. He is
likely to do his duty as he sees It.
and the chances for relieving
Schively of the Spokane charges
appear remote In spite Of the DO
litical pressure that may be-
brought to bear. II is believed that
Governor Hay would actively OBJ
pose any move to make the way
clear and easy for Schiyely.

After ne mad been beaten brutal
ly by thug, then stabbed and
slashed with knife and left on
the street to die because his peck
cts yielded his assailant but two
cents, Carl Johnson found as
sistance at the home of Mr.. Olson,
OS26 Perry street, early this morn
ing.
The police were informed and
Johnson. with his left cheek slash
ed completely through from the
corner of his mouth to point just
beneath the ear, and with deep stab
wounds in his shoulder and abdo-
men, was taken to the emergency
hospital.
Both rows of teeth along the left
side of the young Swede's face
were exposed by the gaping wound.
and stitch after stitch were neces-
sary by DR.. O'Shea and Acting
Steward Dare of the emergency
hospital.
johnson, who is about 90 years
old, told the police that he was on
his way home 10 814 CORTLAND
avenue and was somewhat con-
fused as to directions and location
when he met the thug stranger at
the Olive avenue bridge. Johnson,
according to his story, asked for
direction to CORTLAND avenue and
was invited by the stranger to go
with him as he, too, was going that
way.
Johnson said he suspected moth
ing wrong and went along, but
when near the Olson home the
stranger turned on him with an
oath and after delivering him a
stunning blow or two demanded his
money. Johnson gave him two
cents--all he had with him.
With an outburst of profanity
because Of the smallness of this
sum, the thug then stabbed him in
the abdomen, and as he flinched
with pain he was driven to a half
STOPPING position with thrust Of
the knife in the shoulder, then felt
his cheek parted with sweep of
the knife that sent him to the side
walk.
With that the thug. knife in
hand, ran back down the street,
uttering half audible curses. The
fact that no large arteries were
severed is all that preserved john
sons life and spared him enough
strength to summon assistance.

to the scene of the assault, but
were unable to find any clue by
which the guilty party can be run
