MILITANT MOTHER
PREVENTS WEDDING
Locks Girl In Room and Stands
Guard With Sword.

Springfield, O.. Nov. 90, - A pris-
oner in her own home is Miss Della
Hawk, 10, because her mother, Mrs.
Missouri Hawk, does not want her to
marry G.. A. Miller, 22. Armed with
an old sword, Mrs. Hawk holds the
house against intruders and refuses
to allow her daughter to see Miller.
Finding that persuasion was of no
avail, Miller appealed to the police,
but they could do nothing for him.
Then he went to magistrates office
and asked for a writ of attachment
to get his sweetheart from her home,
but the justice shook his head, say
ing that the procedure would be most
unusual
Finally he appealed to Probate
Judge f. w. Geiger, who issued a
marriage license to Miller last We'd
nesday evening. The judge said he
was sorry for the young man, but
that he could not assist him. Al
though apparently foiled in his at
tempts to rescue the girl, Miller says
he Is not discouraged. 1t Is expected
that lie will make an effort to release
her from the upstairs bedroom by
means of ladder when the mother
is not looking.

Columbus, o. Nov. 26.--An unique
affair resulting from the late cam

General Thomas E. Powell, celebrat.

Comes as Surprise to Naval Off,

sion Of Two Largest War Vessels.
Washington, Nov. 26-The grant
ing of complete amnesty to the Bra
lillian sailors who mutinled and took
possession. of four warships in the
harbor Of Rio dc Janeiro caused as
tonishment in navy circles here. The
fact that the mu;ineers had control
of the Minas Garaes and the Sac
Poulo. the two large and powerful
battleships of the most modern type,
Is believed by naval experts here to
be the cause for the lenient treat
ment Of the rebels. These two bat
tleships are the most formidable in
the Brazilian navy, and their loss
would be a severe menace to the
naval supremacy of Brazil in South
American waters This consideration,
1t is believed here. was the dominat-
ing influence actuating the Brazilian
government In granting complete
amnesty to the mutineers. 1t was
not expected, however, that they
would go entirely unpublished.
The Brazilian embassy received a
dispatch from Baron Rio Branco,
minister of foreign affairs of Brazil,
saying that the mutineers had given
upon the fight and had sent the fol-
lowing telegram to President Fon-
SEGA:
1--WE repent of the act which we
did in our defense. For the sake OF
order, justice and liberty. we will
lay down our arms, trusting that am
nesty will be granted to us. We will
remain obedient to your excellency,

Conspiracy Charged Against
Them.
MIXED ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Testimony Before Grand Jury Went
TO Show That Former Officials Of
Road Entered Into coIlusion With
Several Car Repair Concerns to
pefraud Company Out Of $780,
600, Which Represents Charges For
Repair Work Never Performed.

Chicago, Nov. 26.--Charging a con-
spiracy by which the Illinois Central
railroad had been defrauded out Of
$4,S25, $50, the grand jury indicted
four men. They were Frank b. Har-
riman, former general manager of
the Illinois Central, who resigned
March 49, John M. Taylor, former
general storekeeper of the system,
who resigned May /; Charles E..
Ewing. former general superinten-
dent Of northern lines. who resigned
about July 1, and Joseph Il. Buker,
former superintendent of the car de-
partment, who resigned Feb. |.
The indictments against the former
officials Of the Illinois Central, in ad-
dition to the general charge, also
contain two counts charging a conf
dence game. The bonds CT each of
the men arc set at $4,000.
The indictments are the outcome
of the charges of "car repair" graft
which have been before the courts
for months. Buker, who escaped
prosecution when arrests were first
made in the municipal court here,
was indicted with the three other
men largely on the testimony OF
Henry Ostermann, president of the
Ostermann Manufacturing company
which, with the names OF the Blue
Island Car and Equipment company
the Memphis Car company and the
American Car and Equipment com
pany, are mentioned In the indict'
ments.
Ostermann testified before the
grand Jury that the money which his
concern shared with Hartman and
Taylor was given-by him to Buker
\ who divided with the other Illinois
Central officials.
The gist of the cases Is that the
men indicted charged up to the Ill
nois Central car repairs which were
never made and. by collusion, de
frauded the railroad to the amount
of more than S1,500.000. The amount
named In the indictments, $4.S25,65
represents the total business the II
