Judge Hackney only had accepted

everhad communicated by telephone
with Judge Hackney and had told
him that all he wanted was Warri-

Flashed Through the Air-Was on
Maiden Voyage to Pacific Ports.
Norfolk, Va, sFeb. 5.-In response
to a IS. o. s." signal, the Mallory
liner Alamo arrived in time to save
the officers and crew of the steamer
Kentucky, which was making,a losing
fight against heavy seas, 10 miles
southeast of Cape Hatteras. The Ken.

When the news of the distress of
the Kentucky was received by wire
less, the Norfolk navy yard took
prompt and efficient measures for the
rescue of those aboard the vessel.
The fleet scout cruiser Birmingham.
which was at the yard at the time,
was ordered to proceed at once to The
location whence came the cries for
help from the Kentucky and PASSED
out the bay at great speed and under
forced draft.
The battleship Louisiana, which
was testing out her machinery off the
Virginia coast, was intercepted by
wireless from the navy yard and also
ordered to locate the kentucky and
rescue those aboard at the earliest
possible moment. She got under way
at once under l7.knot speed. Both
the battleship and the cruiser were
recalled by wireless when the rescue
became known.
The Kentucky belonged to the Alas.

Mark Scallot, blacksmith. in 1878,
IN the twentieth year of Queen Eliza
beth's reign, made a lock consisting
OF eighteen pieces of steel, iron and
brass, with n hollow key to it, that al
together weighed but one grain Of
gold. He also made gold chain, COM
posed Of forty-three links, which he
fastened to the lock and key. In the
presence of the queen he put the chain
about the neck of flea. which drew
1t with ease, after which he put the
lock and key, flea and chain into a
pair Of scales. and they together
weighed but one grain and half.
This is vouched for by an old writer.

Mexico City, Feb. 4.-The imDris-
onment of Samuel Espinosa DIT Los
Monteros, leader ofthe ante re-
election party, who is opposing tho
election of Vice President Ramon
Corral to succeed himself, has caus-
ed stir in political and financial
circles i'm Mexico.
MonterOs was arrested on a charge
of sedition at the order of the at
torney general who declared Monter-
Os fostered revolution.
The arrest followed after an inter-
view between MOnteros and President
Diaz in which the president had as
sured Monteros that he was
pleased that ahe Mexican people
should exercise their right within
the law the vice presidential situ-
alton was discussed at this inter-
view. A week ago Monteros presid-
ed at a meeting at which the candi-
dacy of Corral was opposed. il is
this ii is declared here that led to
his arrest. The arrest has resulted
in open criticisms OF the admins-
ration i'm the press of the country;
has aroused public feeling and added
several names to the list of candi-
dates likely to oppose Corral. The
men now prominently mentioned as
candidates for the vice presidency
are Enrique G. Creel,, former ann
bassador to the United States; Gem
cral Felix Diaz, a popular favorite,
and fedora Dehesa, prom inent I'm
Mexican pnairs.
The arrest of Monteros followed
shortly after that of Garcia de la
'ad"na, who made speech against
Corral and in favor of the candi-
dates Of the so-called Democratic
party who seek the election of Heri-
berto Burton for president and Am
boH tlIoa for vice president.
The two arrests followed Diaz's as.
that he wanted Mexicans to
exercise their political rights, have
caused II wave of indignation against
the administration for its persecu-
ton of men who oppose the vice
presidents reelection.
The reelection of Daz Is gener-
ally popular and is opposed only by
a small part of the people but the
ieeIihg against Corral appears to be
gaining in magnitude and arrest OF
persons who oppose him adds to the
wee presidents uppopularity.

HOLY ROLLERS CAUSE STRIKE
eoopers' Union Orders Men out Of
East Liverpool Potteries,

East Liverpool, o.. Feb. 5.-A big
strike was inaugurated at the lottery
plants here by the national officers
OF the coopers' union, who ordered
out $50 union coopers because tho
men they were working with refused
to join the union. They are men
whose religion prevents them from
joining any union.
The strike involves all the coopers
In the union potteries and stave mills
and may be extended. The Holy Roll
ers and Free Methodists who caused
the strike are still working, and say
they, will continue to do so on the
theory that no man has right to
make them stop.

CONFERENCE COMES
TO A SUDDEN END
Coal Operators and Miners I'm.
able to Get Together.

Toledo, o., Feb. 5.-The Joint wage
conference that was to have been
held here between the bituminous
coal operators of the central competi-
tive district and the United Mine
Workers is off, the opposing interests
being unable to agree upon the status
of the delegates from the Illinois
Mine Workers. The miners delegates
insisted upon seating the Illinois
miners, while the operators opposed
the move, and when it became plain
ly evident that no agreement could
be reached the conference adjourned
sine die.
The Illinois operators withdrew
from the interstate agreement of the
miners and operators of the central
competitive field at the Toledo con-
ference two years ago. They have
not since been affiliated. The oper-
ators objected to the presence of the
Illinois miners when the operators of
that state are not considered. They
declare 1t to be unjust.
President Lewis declared that the
deadlock was serious and It seemed
to him that there was nothing else to
do but to adjourn sine die. The stu.
alton is regarded by all to be most
grave. President Lewis said the fail.
ure is due to the lack of organization
among the operators, for which the
miners are not responsible. The
greatest tension was manifest, but
perfect order prevailed, both sides
appearing to regard the failure to or
ganize as verging on a calamity.

cd herself Ethel Bernard lived in a
hat on the second floor of the apart
ment house at 3S West Ninety eighth

shot himself nobody in the house was
able to give information about them.
Fisher was about 35 years old, tall
and well built. He dressed well and
seemed to live comfortably without
work. The girl was only a year or
two over 20, and was so pretty that
the other women In the house noticed
1t. The police picked up somewhere
the fact that she had been on the
stage at one time, so they described
her as Broadway actress. The
mans home had been in Detroit, as
an entry In his memorandum book in
dicated.
The couple employed a colored
woman, Virginia, to work for them
,. two or three days a week The maid
knew about as little of their affairs
as their neighbors She went to the
fiat early in the day and was sent
out to do some shopping. Fisher and
the girl were there when she left and
they had been quarreling. The maid
returned and was climbing the stairs
when she heard pistol.shot. The
door OF the apartment was thrown
open just as the colored girl reached
the landing, and Ethel Bernard, with
one hand pressed to her head and the
other catching at nothing, stumbled
into the hallway and dropped to the
uling.. The door slammed behind her. 4
Virginia ran back down stairs and
hurried into the street. She found
policeman and told him what she had
seen. Policeman Murphy rang up the
station house for help, and when the
wagon came around he went to the
flat with two officers The girl was
unconscious on the landing. The door
OF the fiat was closed and locked
Murphy and his companions forced
the door and ran into the fiat. Fisher
was lying on the bed in the back |
room. He had shot himself In the |
right temple and 1t was evident that |
he was dying. The girl died a few |
minutes after reaching the hospital |
and Fisher expired an hour later.
