Paris. Feb. I'm. Lard, vice
rector of the University of Paris, has
been officially advised that Theodore
Roosevelt will reach Paris about
April IA, and that the length of his
stay probably will not exceed three

ors. French society is prepared to
IiOnize him. literary and scientific
bodies desire to entertain him, and
the American colony would like to
give grand banquet in his honor.
But Mr.. Roosevelt has discreetIy ale

10 avoid any appearance of OstentatiOu,
and that he viii preserve, so far as pos
sible, merely the role of a man OF
learning, i'm which capacity he accepted
the invitation to lecture at the SOT-
bonnie. This invitation was extended
through Ambassador Jusserand when
Mr.. Roosevelt still occupied the White
house.

Stubs ON THE STAND
IN GOVERNMENT SUIT
Cross Examination of Traffic Man
ageT of Hartman Lines by
C. A. Severance.

New York. Feb. 15.-Evidence Of
minimized competition and practical
control of the Asiatic freight traffic
moved west from the Missouri river to
Portland and to San Francisco by the
Union Professionalism Pacific railway
roads in 1901 was brought out today
with the resumption of the hearing in
the suit of the federal government to
dissolve the merger.
John c. Stubs, general traffic man
ageT Of the Herman lines, occupied
the whole days session as a witness
before Sylvester G. Williams. special
examiner conducting the inquiry
Mr.. Stubs admitted, on crOss-exam-
nation by G. A. Severance of counsel
for the government, that the Union Pa
cific held stock ownership of the Oregon
Short Line, which gave the former road
a direct line from the Missouri river
to Portland.
80 that all the Asiatic business
moved from the Missouri river to Port
land would be handled by the Union
Pacific alone?" asked Mr.. Severance.
Yes; that is so" the witness replied.
On request, Mr.. Stubs produced fig
ures showing the decrease in New York
freight over the Sunset line from 20
per cent of the total, in 1891, to 80 per
cent in 1901, the year of the merger.
The government contends that only a
small part of this loss was due to a Ie-
Ultimate competition.

many Pebbles the huge boulders that
had been placed there as rip-rapping.
With the embankment washed out in
spots over the ten-mile stretch between
Garfield and Crane station, the work
of repair will necessarily take longer
than had the damage been done in one
spot only. The work trains will be COM
PEELED to work slowly and cautiously.
When a detailed investigation Of the
amount of damage is made by the Off
Gals who will leave this morning, it is
not unlikely that a greater amount Of
track than first reported will be found
to have been washed out
The latest report last night from Lago
was to the effect that the storm was
still raging, and with breaches already
made in the embankment, it is reason
able to believe that the gaps Will be
widened cOnsidera bly, before the crews
get to the work Of repair this morning
When the Western Pacific built the
line across the southern arm Of the lake
the greater part of it was at that time
well above the level of the water The
few places where the embankment was
laid in lOw-lying districts along the
shore, the water was only several inches
deep. With the gradual raise in the
waters of the lake during the past two
years, the company soon found il neces-
saTy to raise the embankment and work
trains have been kept busy for some
time past in doing this work About
the only time that the roadbed is ever
i'm serious danger is during the time of
a very heavy storm, and then the waves
commence undermining the embank-
ment.

PRISONERS PILOT 10 ESCAPE

and the sheriff believes that that was
the method of attack planned by the
deSpeTadoes.
At this time, particularly. the Jail is
infested with a number of dangerous
men. who are held for the commission
of crimes ranging from petty larceny
to murder.
As d result of the startling discovery
Sunday morning, Sheriff Sharp sus-
pended the rules governing Sunday
visits, and would allow no stranger to
enter the Jail. Sabbath services were
also dispensed with, and Driskell was
moved from No. to another cell. Last
night, however, hC was placed once
more with Morgan.
A thorough search of every cell in
the rotary disclosed no more saws, and
the sheriff and his deputies believe that
they have found every tool which
might be utilized in effecting the es-
cape of prisoners. Every secret spot
in the whole Jail was investigated
Following the discovery of the saws
and the arrest of Tracy Driskeu on
suspicion, an exceptionally close watch
mas been set on the prisoners at the
county Jail.

TURNED UP HIS TROUSERS
Methodist Minister at Lajara Re-
signed Because the Official Board
Regarded Him as Sporty.

Lajara, Colo, Feb. 15.-If a minister,
a Methodist minister, wears gay hose,
turned-up trousers and fashionable
shirts. is he a sport. and unfit to lead a
flock?
Apparently the official board of the
First Methodist church of Lajara and
Bowen thinks such a mode of dressing
indicates a sport" for as a result of
charges brought against him, Rev. b.
F. Turner, pastor of the church, who
came to LajaTa from the east three
months ago, has resigned, and his resig-
nation has been accepted.
When Rev. Turner came to Lajara he
was Immediately under investigation
Mrs. Ella Hamilton, one of the church
stewards, finally accused the minister
with the following heresies:
That he turned up his trousers.
That he wore d cap.
That his shirts were fashionable.
That his trousers were light-colored.
That he associated with young people
of the church.
Summarized, she believed him a imam
of the world
. Charges before the board resulted in
his resignation. This failed to bring
harmony, for the church board has also
resigned.

pela & Santa Fe and several other rail-
ways. the interstate commerce commits
sion today in an opinion handed down

TO GET AWAY
General ChamorrO, Insurgent
Leader, Who Captured Ma
tagalpa, Nicaragua, the 9th
er Day, Forced to Evacuate.

Managua, Feb. 15.-The forces Of
President Madriz again have taken
possession of Matagalpa, which, on
February 10, was occupied by Gen
eral Chamorro, insurgent leader.
The bombardment of the city,
which began Sunday night, after
notification had been given to the
non-combatants to withdraw, was
abandoned for some hours, but was
renewed yesterday.
The government forces had heavy
guns on the hills, but the insurgents
were without means TO reply at long
range. ChamOrrO, therefore, deemed it
advisable TO retreat under cover of
darkness, and evacuated Matagalpa
early this morning.
Generals Lara, Chavarri, Martinez
and Divas, each of whom commanded
sections of the government troops, re-
occupied the city at noon, ChamOrTO
did not escape any too soon, as he was
nearly surrounded by the government
forces, which had been brought up as
quickly a. the condition of the country
would permit in the last few days
ChamorTo's Ambition.
It is reported General ChamOrro has
broken away from General Estrada and
proclaimed himself president
OvertUres have been made to Presi-
dent Madriz by Chamorro through the
medium of American Consular Agent

TT through the discovery of five
i small saws Sunday, d Wholesale
break was frustrated at the county Jail
by Sheriff Joseph c. Sharp and his
deputies that, if successful, would have
resulted in the freedom of l.. +. Dris-
kell, held for completely in the murder
of Special Officer Riley; William Nor
gan, his cellmate, held for alleged
counterfeiting; John Fury charged
with the Finch cafe holdup, and Domi-
mic Albense. a notorious Austrian, to-
gether with other more or less danger
Gus prisoners.
The break was frustrated before it
was really started through the discov-
cry of five fine steel saws, which are
thought to have been taken into the
Jail in a tray of food sent Sunday
morning by Tracy Driskell to his
brother. AS a result of this theory.
Tracy Driskell has been arrested on
suspicion and is an inmate of the jail.
That a Jailbreak was planned was
the belief of Sheriff Sharp Saturday.

that might be used in saving bars. The

first hint came to him when John De-
laney, who was on trial in police court
for dynamitinng the hosting engine at
the Utah hotel, threw a note to some
of his pals who were Onlookers at
court.
Since that time a close scrutiny has
been kept at the county Jail, but moth
ing suspicious was discovered until
Sunday morning, when the tray carry
ing breakfast to Driskell had been de-
molished by that prisoner.
Three thin files of the finest steel
were found in the cell, No. 6. occupied
by Driskell and Morgan. Two more
were later found in the cell occupied
by Fury and Albense. 1t is thought
that Driskell intended to dispose of
the third file to one of the other pris-
oners, which would give five men the
chance of working simultaneously on
the bars of the rotary
After once saving out of the rotary,
the prisoners would either have to
overpower the guard or saw through
the bars and steel netting that cover
the windows. Five men descending at
one time upon one guard would be
more than a match for him, however,

When the Grand Jury Investi-
eating the Swope Mystery
Finishes With Them They
Will Testify in Damage Suit.
NURSE ONLY WITNESS
EXAMINED YESTERDAY
Deposition of DR., Hyde viii Be
Taken by the Attorneys for
Paxton Friday Unless the
Suit Is Dismissed Meantime,
NIGHT SESSIONS OF JURY

Kansas City, Feb. 15.-When Drs.
Ludwig HektOen, Victor Vaughn and
Walter S. Hines arrive on Thursday
to give their testimony before the
grand jury investigating the SwOpe
mystery they will find themselves
much in demand. Especially are they
wanted by attorneys for Dr.. B. C.
Hyde, who desire to take the ply
sicians' dispositions in connection
with DR.. Hyde'S suit against AttOr-
ney John G. Paxton,
BY the terms of an agreement
reached tonight between Prosecutor
Virgil Conkling and Attorneys John Nj.
Cleary and John h. Lucas, represent
ing DR.. Hyde, the physicians attoT-
neys win not interfere with the wit
nesses while they are testifying before
the grand jury. But no agreement was
reached whereby Mr.. Conkling is duty
bound to notify these attorneys when
he has finished with the witnesses.
Therefore, it behOOves DR.. Hyde's at
tOrneys to keep Il constant watch on
the physicians 50 that they viii not
complete their testimony before the
grand jury and leave before their de-
positions are obtained.
Determined to Find Out.
If DR.. Hyde's attorneys fail to obtain
the dispositions of the physicians here,
then Attorney Frank z. Walsh viii go
TO Chicago and to Ann Arbor to take
the dispositions. He is determined to
know the exact contents of the reports
of these experts on their examination
of the vital organs of Chrisman and
Thomas II. SWope and of the contents
of the stomach of Miss Margaret
SW0pe.
Another deposition that DR.. Hyde's
attorneys want badly is that of Miss
Pearl Kellar, the nurse who attended
Colonel Swope in his last illness.
Only One Witness.
An attempt was made TO get her de-
position today but Attorney Walsh
was notified that Miss Kellar had not
completed her testimony before the
grand jury. She was the only witness
today.
Night sessions of the grand jury
may be held. II appears that at least
two weeks viii be required TO finish the
inquiry.
Formal notice was served on DR..
Hyde that his deposition would be
asked by attorneys for Mr.. Paxton
Friday. II is believed the suit will be
dismissed before then.
