fBy The Associated Press. !

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE latest and most in
teresting suggestion regarding the sensational
developments of yesterday. involving the ser
vice of subpOnas upon a number of newspaper
men in this city and elsewhere is that an in
dvidual, and not the United States government,
is the real plaintiff in the II is true that
the subponas served here read the United
States versus the Press Publishing Company -
but II the proposed action is criminal in charac
ter, as is generally assumed TO be the case, that
would be the form Of a subpoena, even where
an individual IS the complainant, according TO
the practice in the District Of Columbia
The identity of this individual these indi-
vduals, for there may be more than one of
them, is purely matter of-epecuiation. for the
public will have to await ths issue OF the prom
ised statement Of Attorney General Bonaparte.
expected IN the course of a day two. TO get
any accurate understanding OF this remarkable
case Possibly President Roosevelt himself is
the complainant: or II may be that the action
was begun by William Nelson Cromwell, by
Douglas Robinson, or any of the persons named
IN the original newspaper publication in in
yidious way. A significant fact IS that Mr..
Cromwell was in Washington when the action
was taken yesterday OF serving the subppnas,
though he left here IN the course of the night
for New York.
Local lawyers are discussing the with in
terest and already sharp differences or opinion
appear as to the right of the United States gov
ernment to prosecute q criminal libel proceed
ing against either an individual or a newspaper,
which Is after ALL the bone OF contention, for
there can be no question OF the right of an in
dividual to bring such action.
1t is pointed out that the Supreme Court IS on
record in the Goodwin case, denying the
power of a United States Circuit Court to take
Jurisdiction in a criminal libel on the
other hand while It is admitted that there is no
statutory law warranting such an action by the
government 1t certainly does enjoy such right
under the common law absolutely neces
ssry measure OF power to protect the very exist
ence of the government.
The officials here remain mute, and there were
no developments in the case to-day, 80 far as
could be learned. The District Attorney re-
mains snowbound in his country home, inacces-
sible to reporters and cut Off from the telephone;
the Attorney General of the United States is at
his home in Baltimore, and at the White House
to-day there was fiat refusal to discuss the
matter.

FIRE RUINS 34S AUTOS.
Loss an Boston BIase More than
$500 900.

Boston, Jan. IA puff of fame shot up from
and repair plant in the city, near Park Square
later 34S automobiles Of almost every description
valued at SI50,000. were mass OF tangled steel
and iron. The fire also spread to the old train
shed of the Park Square railroad station, for
merly used the terminal of the Providence
division Of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad, and destroyed the bicycle track
and large pavilion used for exhibition pur-
poses. Six horses in one of the buildings were
also burned. 1t is expected that the damage to
the building will bring the total loss to more
than SS00.0O0.
There were six garages, including several used
chiefly for repairs, in the big storage station,
formerly the railroad freight shed. In these
many machines for summer use and a
large number of those burned were owned by
business firms All the large sightseeing auto
mobiles in the city. numbering upward Of a
dozen, were also burned
The insurance rates on the destroyed property
were somewhat higher than those in effect on
other buildings of similar in the city. and the
ma ajority of the owners were only partly insured.
while one or two firms had no insurance. There
were about twenty workmen in the building
when the fire broke out, but all managed TO get
away. although several OF them had narrow
escapes.
The hardest fight which the fremen had was
to keep the flames from extending into the busi
ness blocks in Columbus avenue. and fully one
half the entire available force was centred on
that side of the fire area.

TELLS OF INDIAN
BRIDE; REJECTED
St. Louis Lover Who Told of Ex-
perience Sends Expedition to Rec
oncile His Stubborn Fiancee.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 6.-An ex-
ploring expedition into the wilds OF
Yucatan has begun in the interest OF
Miss Eloise Clark, a young -woman OF
good family. and upon II depends
whether her engagement TO Frank j.
Thompson will be extended into mar
riage.
The couple were TO have been mar
ried during Easter week. In January
they were dining with two friends In
the Southern hotel. Thompson, who
has seen much of the world, related
some of his experiences. When he
had finished a story OF one OF his
South American trips. IA years ago,
Miss Clark left the table, announced
that the engagement was off. and hur=
ried TO her home
The story was all about how Thomp-
son was shipwrecked of the coast OF
Yucatan. He got safely ashore on Co
zumei island and made friends with
the gaily painted Indians. The In
dams treated Thompson like king.
The chief of the Maya-Toltecs insist
ed that Thompson marry his daughter.
He didn't care to. but the Indian
frightened him into IL.
She was a pretty little thing.
Thompson told his friends. and took
a fancy to me"
Thompson related how the kingly
life got on his nerves and he was
glad enough TO be picked up by a fish
ing boat and escape.
At this point in his story his fancee
left the table All efforts of the young
man TO reconcile Miss Clark have fail
cd She declares that unless she is
given proof that his Indian wife is
dead or has married some man OF her
own race she will not marry Thomp-
son.
So the despairing St Louisian has
induced some friends in Mexico to go
to Yucatan and send a report 10 Miss
Clark.
St Louis society is excitedly dis
cussing the case IL is recalled that
in the case of Lieut.. Burbank, U. s.
N. marriage according to tribal rites
with a Filipino woman was pronounc-
ed binding. and the lieutenant was de-
clared a bigamist for disregarding II
