KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
MEET IN CONVENTION

Mobile, Ala, Aug 3.--The annual
convention of the Knights of Colum-
bus opened here today with Pontifical
high mass, at which Archbishop Bohn
G. Glennon, of st. Louis, delivered the
sermon. THE time has come" he
said when no set of men can array
themselves against the religion of his
fellow citizen in the United States.
The American Catholic places only
the symbol of divinity above devotion
to his counEy's standard"
He urged the knights to sustain ev-
cry noble cause, placing citizenship
above party and extending to all irres-
pective of race or creed, the even
hand of justice that they all them
selves demand.

PUEBLO POLICE MAY
HAVE BAKERS SLAYER

The local authorities are much in
terested in the arrest at Pueblo, Colo.
of a highwayman who held up 8
street car in that city a week ago.
That the man under arrest there mag
be the slayer of James Baker. who
was shot and killed in the Merid-
ian restaurant on the morning of
July 22d, is more than probable, as it
is said the prisoner has admitted be-
ing in this city on the date of the
murder, which was preceded the night
before by the hold-up of a traction
car, when Conductor George Schmidt
was shot.
The Pueblo Chieftain has the fol-
lowing story concerning the highway
man under arrest there:
Information against the lone high
wayman continues to be received by
the Pueblo police and sheriff's office.
From the different descriptions, it is
thoughtthat the man giving his name
as c. G. Collins, now held for trial
before the district court on the
charge of robbery, is the same man
who succeeded in other hold-ups in
different states lately.
THE sheriff's office has photo
graphed Collins and sent the like.
nesses broadcast. This action is re-
sulting in the receipt of many letters,
and it is thought that Collins or the
man giving that name is wanted in a
number of places
1T is Collins who pleaded guilty
to holding up the conductor and
motorman of an Irving Place car on
July 26. and relieving them Of watches
and money to the value Of nearly,
500.

bio police it is believed that Collins

coin, conductor on Phoenix, Ari-
zona street car a short time ago
Lincoln gives description of his rob-
ber that tallies in many respects to
that of Collins, and the method of
work of the Phoenix hold-up was
much the same as that used by Col
Inns here when he held up the two
car men. Aaron Lincoln is a former
Fowler resident, and his parents still
live in that town.
When commanded to throw up his
hands, Lincoln hesitated moment,
he says, and was brought to a sense
of the advantage of the bandit when
the hold-up fired his pistol, sending
a bullet uneomfortably close to Lin
coins head. Lincoln states that he
had good opportunity to size his
man up and could identity him.
Another report states that man

WAN TO TESTIFY FAVOR
ABLY
He ANSWERS RELUCTANTLY
BUT FOR WHITE KILLING SAYS
DEFENDANT WOULD BE
FREE MAN

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 3.-Dr.
Amos T. Baker, of the Matteawan
state hospital, was recalled to the
stand in the Thaw hearing this morn
ing and under questioning Of Mr.. Nor
schauser, counsel for Thaw, admitted
that had it not been for the Stanford
White episode he would have had
some hesitation about committing
Thaw to the asylum. After detailing
Thaw's life at the asylum, Dr. Baker
was asked:
did you ever tell Thaw there was
nothing the matter with his brain?"
mo sir, cannot remember" he re
piled.
Baker admitted saying at fcrmel
hearing that in the diagnosis o
Thaws case Oppressive insanity hat
never been established, Asked wheth
er or not he would certify that Thav
was insane from personal observation
Outside the White episode, he said:
"Thaw has shown bad judgment,
but admitted he might hesitate t
commit him to an asylum.
Justice Isaac N. Mills in questioning
Dr. Amos T. Baker, obtained the mos
important statement yet expressed
regarding Thaw's sanity. The wit
ness said he did not consider the
opportunities adequate to form
satisfactory conclusion, but never
theless he declared it as his bellef
that the prisoner was now insane,
and that his release would be men,
ace to public safety. Jerome then
recalled Thaw, who was evidently
very nervous, and questioned him
about his romantic" letters to his
wife.
Despite some of the unfavorable de-
of the past few days in his
Ease, Thaw has not lost hope that he
will secure his discharge from the asy-
um. While not as buoyant as he
vas, still he is cheerful. The Thaw
amily feel that District Attorney Jer-
,me has shown unusual animosity in
he hearing, this animosity reaching
he vindictive stage at times.

Needles, Calf, Aug. 3.-Further in
vestigation of the escape of Edward
Rice, the New Mexico fugitive shows
that he took his leave of the New
Mexico officers, while both we're in
the arms of Morpheus.
Romero and Williams both claimed
that they had Rice shackled and hand
cuffed, but it has been learned that
he was only handcuffed. Romero put
his pants under his pillow and dozed
off. Rice took key from the
bunch with his teeth, unlocked his
handouts, coolly dressed while the
officers slept, waited in the berth un-
til the train reached Needles several
hours later and stepped off the train.
The Las Vegas officers did not noti-
fly the local officers about it for over
forty hours after the escape and there
is abundant reason to believe they did
not wake up and discover the absence
of Rice until they reached Kingman,
Arizona, sixty-five miles east of here.
Rice made himself a good fellow on
the officers money (taken from their
pockets), for two days before it was
known he was wanted, and when he
was pursued, used Romero's gun in
his fight to save himself from capture,
wounding an Indian trailer. After Of
ficers had him surrounded, Romero
announced he would not make fur
ther attempt to take him on account
of the jungle nature of the swamps,
making it such a dangerous PROPOSE
tion that he did not care to further
prosecute the chase.
Rice then Of his own free will went
to bridge camp and secured work.

arrest. On being taken to breakfast
the next morning he struck the off

RICE DESPERATE MAN;
WANTED FOR MURDER

That Rice is desperate criminal
is shown by recent developments. He
has been identified by the California
authorities as the slayer of deputy
sheriff at Fresno, that state, in 1907,
and for whom standing reward OF
$1,000 has been offered for his cap
ture and conviction. The San Bernar-
dino Sun of last Sunday prints the
following story of Rice's life with a
few more sidelights on his escape from
Sheriff Romero:
Edward Rice was received ut the
county hospital yesterday from Need
les, being brought in by Special Off.
GERS Acuna and Bottoroff. His condi-
tion is critical, and it is the belief of
the doctors that he cannot recover
from the wound inflicted by Constable

from escaping. sdf
