INSANE MAN ROAMS AT LARGE
Wandered Away From Civilization Searching Parties Are Out
 After Him.

Jimmy McClane, who is riding for Ben Sweetwood, came into town last week and reported to Marshal Patterson that there was a crazy man lowering around the neiehborhood of the Sweetwood ranch.
 Tom Pulliam and Fred Holden secured rig and went out there, but did not find the man.
 In conversation with the crazy man, Jimmy McClane said that he had on good clothes and diamond stud and that he talked about some switchmen at Ash Fork that he wanted to find. It is evident that the man got off the train at Ash Fork and imbibed too freely of some rattlesnake whiskey and then wandered away.
 Three years ago laundryman in the Harvey house wandered out

in the hills from Ash Fork, and although a searching party was organized and endeavored to find him, his skeleton was not found until a year afterwards, the coy otes having stripped his clothing from the bones. His coat was found, and from letters it contained it was found that the man was C. R. Mckee, railroad man of Oak land, Calf. When last seen by McClane he appeared to be in good health and not suffering for the want of food. A party of six with McClane as guide, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Tackett, have gone in search of the crazed man, in hopes of finding him before he per ishes from cold or starvation. Williams News.
 Deputy Sheriff Pulliam returned Sunday from Williams, where he was with a searching party. They failed to find any trace of the man other than his hat and coat, which were picked up near the Sweet wood ranch.
 A reward of S2oo has been of- fered by friends to any one who will locate the crazed man.

back to their places of employment i'll
the ward the three men shot made
their futile dash for liberty. Breaking
from the ranks, they scudded for the
gates. "A momentary impulse on the
part of the detachment to follow wa :
frustrated by the accompanying.
guards, who closed in upon them, leav-
ing the escaping trio to other marines
The sounding of Jail break signal OF

Squirting died at the hospital about
three hours after he had been shot.
The boat the prisoners seized was
one in which workmen employed at the
prison, which is on Seavey island, a
considerable distance from the center
of the yard. used to get to and from
their work.
While the naval authorities refuse to
discuss the affair it is known that there
are not the usual number of guards
on duty at the prison. This is due to
the denIetion of the force at the navy
yard through sending large details to
Nicaragua from Portsmouth. Two
guards were allotted to each squad of
sly prisoners.

THE FAVORED NATIONS.
Six Join the List for Tariff Favors-
Germany Slowly Coming Along. ,

Washington. Jan. 2S-The tariff officers
of the government today recommended to
the President through the secretary OF
state, that proclamations be issued by
him declaring the following named coun-
tries as not being unduly dyscriminative
in their tariffs against the United States
and therefore entitled to receive minimum
rates of duty imposed by the Payne-Ald-'
rich act: Denmark. The Netherlands.
Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Egypt, Persia.
1t is expected therefore that the procla
nation recommended will be issued by the
President tomorrow.
The statement was made today that
great progress had been made in settling
the tariff issues with Germany. The live
cattle and meat inspection provisions of
German law and regulations have been
tentatively adjusted. the United States
yielding as to live cattle and Germany
waiving her microscopic examination
regulations. There is a provision how
ever, that the question of the importation
into Germany of American live cattle Is
deferred and taken up automatically or
through a special commission. .

LorenZ was brought from the county
Jail to the eighth district court to an
swcr to a charge of murder and four
counts of highway robbery. Not for
years has feeling run 50 high against
u prisoner in this state and every pro-
lection was given the defendant by the
officers of the law.
LorenZ is regarded as one of the
greatest criminals ever captured within
the borders of Rhode Island and the
state has appointed Albert b. West,
son of the late George w. West. a fam
Gus criminal lawyer, to defend him.
All except witnesses We're excluded
from the courtroom by Judge Knowles,
when tn man charged with the murder
of Gilbert Mann. an aged Civil War
veteran and with the four cases of
highway robbery in the towns OF
Cranston and Johnston was arraigned
before him. The police claim that
these crimes are only small part of
what they have against Lorenz.
To all of the charges LorenZ pleaded
not guilty and was held for a further
investigation by the grand jury He
displayed no signs of nervousness.

Britain Seems
Evenly Devided.

London, Jan. 2S-The position of the
parties tonight is as follows:
Uninists. 26i Liberals, 263: Labor, 49,
Nationalists II.
Now that the electoral struggle is on the
point of closing, the curious effect is seen
of both contending parties claiming vic
tory and both basing their claims with
plausible arguments, broadly speaking. on
the question of free trade against pro-
lection. 1t cannot be said that the cleo
tons have decided anything, and it is
difficult to judge whether the country as
a whole is tending one way or the other.
According to the contentious of the
Liberals, the industrial communities al
ready have decided to adhere to free
trade and all that remains for them to
do is to complete the process of CONVEX
sion of the agricultural population. Ac-
cording to the Conservatives the educa-
ton of the people is proceeding at great
pace and it is only a question of time un-
til the Chamberlain policy will be COM
pletely triumphant. The Spectator con-
tends that had the tariff retormers
abandoned all idea of taxing food and
confined their policy to the taxation of
manufactured imports. the Liberals would
have suffered an overthrow.
AS to the immediate course of business
it seems generally agreed that unless the
Nationalist offer serious opposition

left the last House of Commons, VIII

Counsel Trying to Free Women Ac
cused Of Ocey Snead's Murder.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Contending that
aiding and abetting a suicide Is not
crime in the state of New Jersey, coun-
sci for the three Wardlaw. sisters, now
in Jail awaiting trial for causing the
death of Ocey w. M. Snead, the East
Orange bathtub mystery, are taking steps
to free the elderly prisoners. Today the
New Jersey prosecuting authorities found
on file demurrer to the indictment
against the women and prepared to com
bat it when it is moved, as anticipated,
for early argument before the supreme
court.
Attorneys for Mrs Carolina 3. Martin,
mother of the victim, and Mrs. Mary
Snead and Miss Virginia Wardlaw,s the
dead girls aunts, the three prisoners un-
der indictment, declare that the recent
finding by a chemist that the dead wo-
mans body contained morphine disproved
the theory that she was murdered by
drowning in a bathtub.
The attorneys declare that If former
decisions are upheld, the prosecutor will
either have to bring a direct charge Of
murder or free the three women.

Carl A. Reed of this city has an eX-
tensive article on the basketball sit
uaton in New England in the Basket
bali Guide for 1910. The article deals
principally with the results or last
winters games but also makes strong
plea for less professionalism in the
teams and cleaner games. Many OF the
things mentioned by Mr.. Reed as liable
to happen if cleaner playing was not
brought about have already been no.
ticed Mr.. Reed was the coach of the
Winthrop. Mass. High team for two
seasons and turned out winning teams
both seasons. This winter he has not
coached any teams but has considered
several propositions.
