mander TypsIdos, which after beiog

lieyed to be preparing another attack
Nothing hiss been officially reported con-
cerning the movements of the hotills
but ru nors are thick. One reports the
rebels en- route to Brindisi, IIaly, for
refuge. Another has the hotilla bound
for Crete With the intention OF seiz'Dg
the island. The mesgreoess OF The de-
tails oficislly given out concerning yes
lerdsy's engagement indicates that inc
crisis precipitsted by The mutiny Is oy
no means over. There Is apparently
no question that the government troops
recsptured the Sllsmis Arsenal, which
the rebels had occupied. The govern
ment has confined itself, however, to the
statement that the torpedo boat Aolilla
Is expected to surrender soon.
Despite the loyalty of the main Por'

is generally believed that the military

power for months, will now be forced to
proclaim a military dictatorship to coun'
teract the loss Of prestige which hiss re-
suited from its failure TO maintain order.
Former Premier Rhsllys, commenting
on the situation today said:
"The condition OF Greece is more pre-

MAN WITH GUN AND
BOMB IS CAPTURED
Clever Ruse is Worked by Cool Headed Missouri Dry
goods Man and He Lands His Man Behind the
Bars-Invader Trying to Extort Money
From the Merchant.

Kansas City, Feb. 17.-Armed
with a revolver in one hand and a
dynamite bomb in the other, man
entered the home of Lawrence NJ.
Jones, president of the Jones Broth
ers' Dry Goods company of this CITY,
and demanded $1,000
Nv a ruse, Mr.. Jones overpowered
the man, who was arrested.
AT the police station the bono
thrower gave the name Of c. II. Gar
nett, aged 40.
The man appeared at the Jones
home shortly before noon and asked
for Mr.. Jones. He was shown to the
library. NIr. Jones, who was in an
other part of the house, upon enter
ing the library was confronted by the
intruder's revolver. The man told
MIR. Jones to be seated. He then
drew from under his overcoat a dyn-
amite bomb. He explained to Mr..
Jones that unless the latter gave him
81 900 he. would Immediately blow
him into atoms. In an endeavor to
calm the man, Mr.. Jones talked with
him over half an hour. Mrs. Jones
feeling apprehensive on account OF her
husbands long interview, entered the
library at this point. The intruder
ordered her to be seated. The con-
versation was resumed.
Chester |. Jones. secretary Of the
Jones company, son, soon followed
his mother, and he, too was ordered
to be seated. Mr.. Jones then sug-
gested that as he did not have the
necessary funds in the house, the man
accompany him to the bank. This
was agreed to.
AS the pair were passing through the
lower hail. Mr.. Jones stepped sud-
denly back, and placing his foot in
front of the visitor, hurled him to
the floor. Mr.. Jones and his son
then overpowered the man, stripping
him of his weapons, called the po-
lice. The bomb did not explode
when the intruder fell. At the po-
lice station It waslfaid that the Of
ficers had not investigated the bomb
and would not.
Mr.. Jones is one of the best known
dry goods merchants of the country.

SENATE WANTS TO
DIVIDE THE NAVY
Naval Bill Will Provide for One Half of Uncle Sans Sea
Fighting Power Being Kept in the Pacific all Of the
Time-New Battleships Not to be OF the Del
aware Class-Lodge Defeats One of the
Presidents Plans.

Washington, Feb. 17---One half OF
the United States navy snould be
kept on the Pacific coast at all
times in the opinion of the senate.
An amendment 10 the naval bill
was agreed to lat might providing
that in the discretion of the p.esi-
dent one-half of the navy shall be
kept in Pacific waters as far as
practicable. The president already
has the Authority to divide the fleet
but the amendment amounts to an
expression of congress in favor Of
such action.
AS introduced originally, the divi-
sion of the navy was mandatory.
Mr.. Flint of California said he
understood the people of the Atlantic
coast did not care for the fleet
and the people on the Paaific did.
Would half Of the fleet on the
Pacific coast keep the Japanese out

son

Urging the adoption OF the proyi-
Hloi' hh' uNtoll uetlb eu lHAhJ uleIe
are great interests on the Pacific
coast which need protection and that
there is more danger of attacks be-
ling made on that coast than on the
Atlantic seaboard
At Mr.. Hade's suggestion, the pro-
vision WAS amended so as TO leave
fhe question of the division to the
secretary OF the navy, and later on
this Yas amended, at Mr.. Baeon's
suggestion, so as 20 give the discre-
ton to the president
by an amendment the size of tine
two battleships authoudzed Is limited
to 2l,OOO tons and their cost, eXclu-
slye OF armor and armament to
$4,500,00O each.
The house provision was for two
first +class battleshipe to ccs., excIu-
siVe OF armor or armament not ex-
ceeding $6,0O0,0OO each. IL was the
idea to construct ships of 26,OOO tons
displacement. Mr.. Clapp offered an
amendment which was adopted,
making tbe type of ships built SINH
lar to the Utah and Florida, the two
2l,OOO ton dreadnounIhts now being
constructed, and llmiHdng their cost.
The senate Also agreed TO prow-
sion that no part OF the appropyds.

pletely under Cox's domination as
shown by past experience It would
be useless to ask for special grand
jury.
This attempt to stall the prosecuting
attorney and grand jury with routine
business should be enough of itself to
induce the legislature to create an
other probe committee to find out
what It is that Cox doesn't want
either legislature or grand jury to
pry into.
las Governor Harmon said in his
message TO the legislature, "The per
sons affected by this investigation
had sufficient interest to go to the
expense of litigation to stop II, SC
the public certainly has an equal in

ed, declaring that the history of the
marine corps had shown its value as
an adjunct to the navys fighting
force. Many senators took part In
the debate upon the power of con
gress to interfere in the command by
the president of the army and
navy. Senator Rayner insisted that
congress- had absolute power in such
matters, while Senator Bolah took
the opposite view Mr. Rayner said
that the president had exercised

He is said to be worth over mil
lion dollars.
AT the police station the man said
he planned, after securing the money
from Mr.. Jones, to take him to In
dependence, a suburb, where he would
have chained him in a house which
he had fitted up for the purpose.
Police officers and newspaper men
found the house described by Garnett.
1t is a small vacant frame house in
independence. The closet contains
three padlocks and a number of long
chains are attached to the wall. Gar
nett planned to imprison Mr.. Jones
and keep him chained until Garnett
could escape with the money.
With his arms folded and his
slouch hat pulled down over his eyes
Garnett stood surly and defiant in his
cell at the Flora station.

IT AGAIN
California General Assembly
Taxes up School Ques-
tion Once More.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. II. - An I'M
availing attempt was made yesterday
in the lower house of the legislature
to accomplish by amendment TO
school bill, the segregation of Jap
anese pupils in the public schools.
Its intent was 10 do what was
sought to be done by Assemblyman
Johnsons measure that recently
caused President Roosevelt to address
the California legislature through
Governor Gillett.
The bill under consideration was
an act to amend the polittcal code
by determining the number of years
of instruction in the day and evening
elementary schools: determining the
age of admission to such schools, and
providing for seperate SC hools for In
dian, Mongolian and Chinese chill
dren."
The amendment was to insert the
word "Malay" after Monaghan This.
It was declared by Assemblyman
Sackott, who introduced the bill and
objected to the amendment, might
finally result in the exclusion of
Japanese children. The latter race.
he said, contended that they were
ATalays, not Mongolians, as the San
Francisco school board contended
when it resolved two years ago to
segregate children under the present
law.
The bill was on second reading
when the amendment came as a shock
TO those who recently stood by Pres-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Gillett
in their fight against the Johnson
school segregation bill A messenger
was Dispatched at once in search of
Speaker Stanton, who hastened to the
assembly chamber and seized the gav-
el from Assemb!yman Rutherford Of
Truckee just before the question was
Submitted to a vote. A roll call was
demanded and un,il the result was
announced the speaker wore and ex-
tremely worried appearance.
The amendment was defeated by a
vote of 27 to IS.

What is Cox Conceallrg?

For political legerdemain and dou'
ble-shuffling the Cox school at Gin
cinnati is unsurpassed.
Not more than ten days ago the
special argument" emanated from
Cincinnati that the legislature should
not create another probe committee
TO continue the investigation of Gin
cinnati for the reason that a Demo.
crat was elected prosecuting attorney
OF Hamilton county last fall and that
It is the province of the prosecuting
attorney to bring matters requiring
investigation to the attention of q
grand jury.
Incidental to this 'argument" II
was stated that Henry Hunt was
elected prosecutor of Hamilton coun-
ty on the probe issue, that he had
abundant knowledge OF the two in
vestigations stopped by the courts be-
cause he was member of the legis.
lature which authorized the former
probes, and that he was already en-.
gagged in collecting additional data to
submit to the grand jury.
lAll this was plausible enough foi
the casual reader. Mr.. Hunt Is vel
equipped to do his part in laying facts
before grand jury, but he cannot
compel grand jury to bring in O
bill of indictment any more than a
horse can be compelled to drink
after being led TO the water.
Cox knows why he would rather
have a secret inquisition by a grand
jury than an open investigation by a
committee Of the legislature, sO that
the grand jury plea was decidedly
unique to come from an oracle of the
Cincinnati boss.
Within week after the grand Jury
plan was advanced as a foil 10 the
proposed legislative probe, reports
from Cincinnati stated that Prosecut.
or Hunt was being overloaded with
routine work so that he would moi
have sufficient time to devote to q
thorough investigation OF city and
county affairs under Cox control. II
also stated that the magistrates
were binding over every posslbl,
case that could be entered on the
criminal docket for investigation bJ
the grand jury.
If the grand jury's time were taker
up entirely with criminal cases Il
would have no time TO probe graf
charges; and with the courts so com,

TO ELEVATE
THE STAGE
Big Syndicate Has Placed a
Ban on Alleged Immoral
Shows.

New York, Feb. H.. Tainted
shows have been barred by the the-
atrical syndicate.
1t is stated today on the best au-
thority that Abraham Erlanger,
spokesman for the syndicate, will
close it's theaters to the shows COM
planned of on the score of morality.
AS the syndicate's playhouses COM
prise 80 odd per cent. of the theaters
of the country that are worth mem
tioning, the decision means that the
stage is to be purified.
"A week ago Charles Burnham, pres
ident of the New York Theatrical
Managers association, in an inter-
view said: s'Tf / had my way I would
close FIVE shows which are now run
ming in New York on bhe score Of
immortality"
Although he did not mention any
of the five shows by name, public
opinion at once jumped TO the con-
clusion that he meant "The Girl From
Rector's," ''The Easiest Way" THE
Blue Mouse THE Queen of the Mou-
lin Rouge" and "Nfiss Innocence"
The managers of three of these
shows have applied to the syndicate
for booking time. Their requests
have been refused.
''The Easiest Way" by Eugene
Walter is produced by David Be-
lasco, head Of The Independent thea
ter managers who are not in the syn
dlcate. They have but few theaters
and find IT impossible to make up a
profitable roure Therefore. when
they have an attraction which should
make good on the road they often
apply to the syndicate for bookings.
There is an intimation that he has
asked the syndicate for time for a
second company and that the request
has been refused. II this request was
made, It was in indirect fashion and
the refusal was equally indirect but
none the less positive.
Said J. j. Shubert when told of the
syndicate's prononcement:
q The Blue Mouse will play the
season out despite Mr.. Erlanger's an
nouncement. Mr.. Erlanger Is a great
moralist. His producing 'The Soul
Kiss proves that"

KEEPING hands OFF

The temperance committee OF the
general assembly has set at rest all
fears OF the temperance people OF the
state that the Rose county local op-
tion bill would be repealed or would
be so modified that little would be
accomplished under the new law. That
committee by a vote Of four to one
determined that action upon Senator
Deans bills should be postponed in
definitely.
The fight which has been waged in
the legislature over the provisions OF
the Rose law have been very heated
Few people have realized the pres
sure which has been brought to bear
upon the members of the general as
sembly in an effort to defeat the oper-
alton of the law. Great corpora
lions have been working for weeks
10 get hold on the legislature and
pull them into line for the repeal
measures. Recently the labor unions
took hand in the fight and every
possible inducement was held out TO
the legislators to secure them assist
ance in the fight for the liberal ele-
ment. The mail boxes of the mem
bers of the general assembly have
been stuffed with letters making ap-
peals, entreaties and threats but all
of these have failed.
There Is a feeling in the general
assembly that not enough is known
about the operation OF the law to war
rant tampering with n. The legis-
lators take the view that the Rose
law has been effective only since the
first OF last September and that is
not sufficient time to prove whether
IL is good measure or bad measure
The great majority of the members
decided that they would keep hands
on entirely and allow the trial OF
the law TO be the proof. This was
certainly wise decision. The repeal
OF the law now might be robbing the
people Of a good desirable measure
which is only in the experimental
stage. Such action would have pre-
cipitated another bitter fight with the
effect of keeping conditions more un-
settled for months and months.
The temperance question was SET
tied almost year ago, and those
who have taken part on either side
OF the fight since that time, are not
at all anxious to go into another
similar contest. The participants
need a breathing spell and while
they are having it, we can try out
the measure and be satisfied as to
Its desirabllity.
