GET FREE RAILROAD FARES.
Labor Agencies Victims Of Gang
Which has Operated Extensively.

st. Paul, Dec. 2S.-Widespread
swindling operations, in which st.
Paul labor agencies are the victims,
has been uncovered through the ef-
forts of the police during the past
few days, and arrests are expected
hourly in Chicago and Duluth. The
operators work with the telephone,
telling the desk man at the agency
that they are some prominent employ
ing representative and asking that
transportation be given men who will
call for transportation out of the city.
In this way many men have been
shipped out of the city.
A man giving the name of Ryan,
formerly coachman for a prominent
st. Paul railroad man, appeared at a
st. Paul agency in one Of these mat
tiers and fell down on his bluff when
being questioned. The labor man Of
fered to call up the man who Ryan
said had sent him to confirm the is
suance of passes to Chicago to Ryan
and his gang.
Ryan backed out of the door and
has not been seen since. Labor agen-
cies have been checking up and it is
probable that the swindling opera

Both men were boarders in the
Pice home. Thursday night Milano-
witch is said to have gone to From
ich's room and announced that he
was going to kill him.
= A duel was arranged and the two
went to the kitchen, darkened the
room, drew their knives and holding
each other by the left hand began the
deadly struggle.
After a few minutes the blows be-
came fewer and fewer until finally
with knife thrust penetrating his
temple, his face and body gashed to
strips, Fromich went to the floor with
a groan. He died soon after. Mil
anovitch fled but was later arrested.

BANDITS TORTURE MAN
BY BURNING HIS FEET
Family of an Ohioan Is Dragged and
He Is Forced to Give
UP $3.50.

Toledo, O., Dec 26.--By burning his
feet with lighted matches, two masked
robbers compelled Fl. A. Schabow of
Curtice, near here, to open a safe in
his farmhouse and turn over $3.50 Fri
day.
After tying their victim to his bed
with strips Of sheet and placing a
gag in his mouth, the bandits went to
the barn. stealing horse and buggy.
and escaped. posse of farmers are
in pursuit.
Upon gathering in the front door the
robbers placed an unknown substance
upon heated stove which overcame
the family of seven, and the bandits
then operated undisturbed. Schabow
is in a serious condition, but will re-
cover.
While one of the robbers was tortur-
ing Schabow with the matches the
other kept him covered with a revol,
yer. threatening to kill him if he ut
tered a sound Schabow was country
agent for the Lucas County Insurance
Company of Toledo.
The first the Schabow family knew
of the robbery was when the children
rushed to their fathers room to wish
him a merry Christmas. He was not
there, and upon entering a little front
room used as an office, they found him
upon the floor, unconscious. with his
hands and feet tied and wooden init
ten stuffed in his meath.

DOZEN CONGRESSMEN
SAIL FOR CANAL ZONE
Members Of House Committee on Way
to Investigate Form of Gov.
eminent There.

Washington, Dec. 28.-To familiar.
fze themselves with conditions under
the present form of government of the
Panama canal zone and to consider
what changes, if any, are desirable, IL
members of the house committee on
foreign and interstate commerce left
Charleston to-day for Colon.
It is not thought that any measure
having for it's object change in the
form of civil government for the zone
will receive the consideration of the
congress at the present session, but
as all but two of the members of the
commerce committee, Representatives
Hepburn and Sherman will be mem
bers of the house in the Sixty-first
congress, the committee will find the
information secured now of value
later.
There has been some discussion Of
the advisability of attaching the zone
to one of the southern circuits of fed
eral courts in order to overcome criti-
vailing judiciary system because Of
the difficulties that have been expert
enced with regard to the limits Of
jurisdiction of the civil and military
authorities on the zone and the gov
eminent of Panama.
' The congressional party not only
will investigate this matter. but also
will look into all phases of the con-
struction of the canal.
The party will reach Colon on Janu-
airy 2, arriving in Washington, return
ing, January IA. Those in the party
who are accompanied by their wives
are Messrs. Hepburn, Iowa; Cush-
man, Washington; Kennedy, Ohio,
and Ryan, New York, of the
committee. Other members going
on the trip are Messrs. Stevens,
Minnesota; Esch, Wisconsin,; Town
send, Michigan; Knowland, California;
Hubbard, West Virginia; Adamson,
Georgia; Richardson, Alabama, and
Bartlett, Georgia. Messrs. Morse,
Wisconsin,; Humphrey, Washing
ton; Lee. Georgia; Conner, Iowa.
and Loud, Michigan, also are members
of the party, as is J. F. Ryan, the
clerk of the committee.

BY EARTHQUAKES
THREE PROVINCES ARE LAID IN
WASTE BY VIOLENT EARTH
TREMORS.
Several Thousand Are Killed. Havoc
is Great and Destruction of Life
and Property is Appalling in Ex-
tent.

Rome, Dec. 29.-The three prov.
inces of Cosenza, Catanzaro and Reg
gle Iii Calabria, comprising the de-
partment of Calabria, which forms
the southwestern extremity of Italy
or "the toe of the boot" were dew
astated Monday by an earthquake,
the far-reaching effects of which
were felt throughout the entire coun-
try.
The town of Messina, Sicily, was
partially destroyed and Catania was
inundated.
In N1essina hundreds of houses
have fallen and many persons were
killed.
Owing, however, to the fact that
Geographic and telephone communi-
cations were almost completely de-
stroyed, it is impossible to obtain
even an approximate idea of the vast
damage done. Thousands are re-
ported to be dead.
The fate of entire regions within
the zone of the earthquake is I'M
known, but reports received here up
to late hour tonight indicate that
the havoc has been great and the de-
struction to life and property more
terrible than Italy has experienced
in many years.
The uncertainty Of the situation
for many thousands has filed all TIA
lians with the deepest distress, for
they still have fear that the day is
coming when that part of the coun-
try which seems to have been most
blessed by nature will be destroyed
by the blind forces Of that same ma
ture which nearly nineteen centuries
ago overwhelmed Pompeii and Her.
culaneum.
All reports show that the present
catastrophe embraces a larger area
than the earthquake in 1905. ,.
The tidal wave which followed the
earth shocks on the eastern coast of
Sicily sunk vessels and inundated the
lower part of Catania. 1t is known
that a number of people were killed
at that place, but the rushing waters
carried everything before them and
caused such an indescribable confus-
ion that it will be impossible for some
time to estimate the damage and
number of lives lost. {"
For period the town Of Messina
and the province of Reggie were
completely isolated. j., -
