cable from San Jose, Costa Rica, says:
"The French government has been

Describes 0utrgeS
HOn the 22d of October last we were
surprised by a detachment of troops
commanded by an aide de camp of the
president of Nicaragua. Immediately
both Mr. Ruinart and myself were
bound and dragged to the edge of a
lake. where after a mockery of a trial
they threatened to shoot us-a threat
which they repeated three times
"As soon as we were safely in the
lookup the soldiers returned to sack the
farm, Wrestling the keys from the house
keeper and carrying off all objects of
value on which they could lay their
hands, some of which we recognized
later in Lurtuga. We had to regain
possession of our own horses by pur-
chasing them from those to whom they
had sold them.
During the operations at the farm
the house keeper was brutally treated
by Larios and it was with difficulty
that she saved herself from being
killed. They completely stripped the
farm, not taking into account the
French flag which was at the time
hoisted over the house"

was stated that an advance of 20 cents
day was offered to men in one section
of Montana. The statement continues
Further concessions were declined
for the reason that the rates of pay of
switchmen were increased over 1s per
cent in November, 1906, and because
the rates at that time established had
not been reduced during the period of
business depression that followed
The managers contend that the
switchmen refused arbitration and
called the strike at time when the
federal authorities were about to offer
mediation.

Burns May Stop Trip

William J. Burns is no wat Washing
ton, and, If, as Langdon believes, Gal
lagher intends to take the Mauretania
from New York for Europe this morn
ing, Burns will hasten TO the metros
oils and strive to show the fugitive
that his interests are to come back to
San Francisco and live up to the gree
ment he made with the district attor-
ney. Raymond Burns sent his father
telegram last night apprising him
of Gala aghers flight.
Gallagher is our chief witness, "
William H. Langdon said last night.
and without him we can do nothing
with the graft cases. All the money

Gated, the prosecution of the graft
cases will be seriously affected

Secret Trip Arranged

Gallagher took his wife with him,
and judgingby the secrecy with which
the trip was arranged and the journey
begun he means to stay outside the
boundaries of San Francisco for a long
time, and perhaps forever Tom Cal
lagher his brother, with whom he has
been living for the last few weeks, told
Raymond c. Burns, who was dispatched
10 the house in McAllister street near
sixth avenue as soon as the flight was
discovered last night, that he thought
his brother had told Langdon that he
was about to leave. Tom declared
that he did not know where his brother
was going. but intimated that he had
chosen the Canadian Pacific to carry
hi maway.

ing Witness

Big Jim" Gallagher. member of the
Schmitz Doodle board of supervisors
and chief witness in the graft
cases, has fed the city, and Dis
trict Attorney William H. Langdon
believing that he has placed himself
beyond the bounds of the state, and
perhaps the United States, last night
telegraphed all important American
cities in an effort to intercept the for
mer official.
If Gallagher can be located and held
within the United States until Monday
eXtradition proceedings can be insti-
tuted against him, for on that day the
Calhoun case again comes up, and the
boodler is subpenaed to appear before
Judge Lawlor as a witness. Contempt
of court. however, is only misde-
meanor, and Gallagher can not be ex-
tradited from a foreign country.

Guards Report Flight

who have been guarding Gallagher
against possible attack, reported his
flight last night shortly before o'clock
and Raymond Burns was sent out to
verify the report from Tom Gallagher.
why, he told me that he had told all
you people that he was going, Tom
Gallagher said in surprise.
He insists that Jim Gallagher left
Saturday, but Langdon, through his
information that leds him to believe
that the trip was started THURSDAY v
evening. Jim Gallagher was seen as
late as Thursday morning, and has not
been noted since that time. II he left
Thursday he would arrive in New York
yesterday and be ready to take the
Mauretania today.
Jim Gallagher has considerable prop
erty about the bay and much ready
money.
The San Francisco call., 1909-12-01
Departure Seems Strange

If we can locate Gallagher we will
endeavor to get into communication
with him at once and show him how
foolish his conduct is. First we will
point out that If he ever wants to hold
up his head again he should stand by
his agreement, by which he was granted
very valuable things in exchange for
his testimony. Again, we will show him
that his flight makes it seem that he
has been persuaded to go, and that it
has distinctive unsavory odor to the
common people.
1T may be that he fears he will be
shot. or that he will be harassed by
trials, or that he is just caught with a
combination of fears. 1t seems strange
he should leave now, after having stood
up straight so long"

ters. and. at his request, Sergeant John

that is why he is not better qualified for
governor. He may have spent more time
as a member of the legislature than some
OF the men mentioned bot he has never
been recognized as a legislative leader and
his Legislative experience does not entitle
him to further promotion. In the Iasl
session when the need OF leader was SO
sorely ielt, Dr. Mead did not show him

question is answered no, but wherever

his record does not show that he is quail

A single attack Of the grip may mean

are not taken to restore the blood and
drive out the lingering poisons that

The danger from the grip is seldom

the depression of spirits pass away.
The grip leaves behind ii weakened vital
powers, thin blood, impaired digestion

Many Vermont people take their lives

there is no need to suffer nor to remain

and manufacturers who do business
largely on credit would be the ones to
suffer. Undoubtedly. Suppose the legis-
lsture were to enact (if legal way to do
so could be devised) that the property OF
any certain class--editors, for instance
should be listed at twice its value. The
change would benefit all but small
number in the state, and hurt only few
editors. But that wouldn't be an argu-
meut in its favor. II offsets are abolished
il should not be done in any degree be-
cause It would help the majority, II II
works wrong aud injustice to the minori-
ty. II offsets are right per Sc, let them
continue; il wrong, away with them.
Getting right down to that point, we be-
lieye that in spite OF abuses-whieh
might be largely remedied, il half the
effort were put forth to do this that is
spent in trying to abolish the whole sys'
tem-there is more right than wrong in
offsets, and that cutting them out would
work exceeding injury, and In some cases
ruin, while producing no general benefit
al all commensurate. 1t would be using
the power Of the state to take from those
that have not even that which they have.
