NEGRO DIDN'T KNOW
 A THING ABOUT IT
Horse, Buggy and Peg Jones Appeared to officers Rather Worse for Wear
 and Arrest Resulted

A negro who gave his name as Peg Jones was considerably surprised last night when he came to himself at the police station with badly damaged head and a charge of dlsorderly conduct, aggravated, against him. The charge may be changed to grand larceny.
 Officers Bagley and Taylor received a message last night that there was wild negro at Nineteenth street and Tenth avenue and hurried to the scene. They found horse and buggy and the negro. Jones was unable to give any account of himself and declared that he had no knowledge of the happenings of the night.
 From the appearance of the horse, bug BY and negro the officers concluded that the animal had run away with the negro and had thrown him from the buggy. Whether the horse was stolen they are unable to say. The horse was sent to the city pound where it will remain until an owner can be found for it.
 The negro claims that he was doped and expressed great surprise when he came to himself at the police station. His &C., tions were very amusing and caused no little laughter among the officers.

 SERIOUSLY ILL

Philadelphia, January So.-The condition of the Most Rev. Patrick John Ryan, archbishop of Philadelphia. who has been ailing for some time is extremely grave today. He passed bad night. The ven erable prelate suffers from frequent weak spells of long duration from which he barely rallies. (
 Early today the archbishop was con scious. He fully realizes his preearious condition. He recognizes those about him and says he was always prepared to meet God.
 Archbishop Ryan is in his eightieth year. Rumors that he was very i'll were ip circulation several days ago, but the fact that he was up and about his. room last Saturday to allay fears of those who had become alarmed about him.
 The Rev, Francis J. Cavanaugh secre- tary to the bishop. said today that his grace had been ailing since Christmas. He is not suffering from any specific all ment but his condition is the result of overwork, his heart being affected.
 The last rites of the church have been administered. Mass was celebrated in the sick chambers this morning.
 Prayers are being offered in all the Catholic churches today for the stricken prelate.
 The physicians In attendance issued the following statement at Ills o'clock:
 'The archbishop had bad night, but is little better this morning. He had sinking spells. from which he rallied. At intervals his mind is as bright as ever. His heart is weak"
 The relatives of Archbishop Ryan were called to his bedside today.

INVESTIGATION IS
 BARREN OF RESULT

Danvlle, H., January 3O.-The now or never' day in the Vermillion county grand jury investigation of vote traf- licking came today and has gone and the answer of the politicians to the inyesti- gators was never" according to the admissions of grand jurors themselves.
 This was the last day on which it was believed possible to find a witness who by a confession of illegal practices at polling time would open the way for of ficers and thus make a cleanup of the countys politics.
 Most of those ward workers sub poenaed for today were prepared to ex- plain their acceptance of mony at the polls as exposed by previous witnesses. They were prepared to say, to a man, they got the money as paid workers, not for their votes, following closely to the route blazed by the courts public expan- ation. When this was learned Foreman Woodward refused to call those sum- moned and began at once to work on rou- tine matters.
 It Is the general belief here that the grand jury will pursue the plan of Judge Kimbrough of closing up it's docket and adjourning possibly on Friday until the day before the spring elections. Its sitting at that time is expected by the judge to frighten off those who might plan to corrupt voters.

SEARCH IN VAIN
 FOR MISS ARNOLD

New York. January S0.-Rumors as variable as the winds of March continue to surround the mysterious disappearance of Dorothy Arnold, now missing from her New York home for nearly 50 days. Tonight the case to all intents is where it was when counsel for the family first sought aid through publicity.
 In sheer desperation the family has in- voked the aid of the police to go over the confines of Central park foot by foot and to drag the park lakes and ponds This probably will be begun tomorrow.
 A report was current tonight that Miss Arnold on the day .of her disappearance visited a steamship agency to procure literature relative to cruise to the West Indies The agency remembers sec ing a girl similar to the picture of Miss Arnold, but the records show no reserva- ton. Evidence that she called at this agency is apparently strong as that she started to walk through Central park. Ye the family, in the absence of other clues. has decided to institute the sys- tematic hearing here, and If nothing re- suits, to search Bronx park also.

 Attorney Worthington, for the Mer- chant Marine league. announced that the league had reason to believe that the whole story of these ;tempts was a plan concocted recently to discredit the ship subsidy legislation advocates.
 Mir. Dodsworth ka.l the check for q Dlank sum OVereu 10 ms ldlneT some years ago was offered personally by an agent of Joh.. Roach, the ship build CT. As to the s10o,000 offer for an article favoring ship subsidy, the wit ness said that his brother apparently tried to lead hiS caller on and trap him but that he, the witness, was not present at the interview and only learned of it later.

PEACE MEETING
 HELD IN NEW YORK

Albany, N. Y, January 30-The demo- cratic organization behind William F.. sheehan held its first peace conference with the insurgents tonight, but with out making any appreciable progress to- wards settling the deadlock over the cleo tion of a United States senator.
 Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt, the in surgent leader, spent more than an hour with Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tam many hall, and the fact that they had discussed the senatorship was regar0ed as an encouraging omen by those who hope for radical change in the situa- ton. Hitherto each side has remained aloof.
 When asked what passed between them, Senator Roosevelt declined to give details. He admitted, however, that they discussed the deadlock. but said that nothing happened during the conference to alter views or plans. Earlier in the day both MT. Murphy and Senator Roose- welt called on Governor Dix separately. From an insurgent source 1t was learn ed the senator told the governor he was informed the Sheehan men were exert ing tremendous pressure to extract from the governor some public statement that would aid their campaign. Senator Roose- welt told him., 1t was said,. that even If he issued such statement it would change no votes that the insurgents had agreed to stand firm against Sheehan, notwithstanding anything the governor might say.
 News of the Roosevelt Murphy confer ence caused considerable excitement to- night but did not change the general im- pression that there would be no break in the deadlock tomorrow and perhaps not this week.
 The eleventh joint ballot today showed no significant change in the lineup. There were 43 absentees. but the house leaders said tonight that they expected practically full attendance tomorrow.

After the Rebels Captured Mcxicnii They Gathered Up Recruits md
 Then Left to Join Other Rebel Forces

 The members of this party witnessed the capture of Mexicali yesterday. The rebels, they said, were a determined and serious-minded lot of men, fully armed with modern repeating rifles and supplier with abundant ammunition. MT Chandler, one of the party and assist ant general manager of the Los Angeles Times. said: When we landed at the International border yesterday morning we found a rope stretched and en- trance into Mexico forbidden by tho rebels. After consulting with the United States authorities on this side we decided to go across at our own risk. We found the town in posses sion of the rebels. who were patrolling the public places and guarding the half dozen prisoners they had taken.
 The body of Jose Villasenor, the jailer, lay in the street. He had been killed with rifle bullet, 1t was said by Simon Berthol, the American lead CT. second in command of the rebel band. At the customs house door we founU two other rebel soldiers posted
 There was general exodus from the Mexican town soon after the rebels took possession. Many Americans engaged in running saloons and women who peopled the worst part of the town fled across the border.
 Soon after the town had fallen the rebels began to gain recruits and finally , had upward of 70 men. Many of these were drafted into service.
 "Evidently it was the intention of tho rebels not to hold Mexacali. As far as we could judge it was their purpose to gather body of 800 or GOO rebel soldiers from all parts of lower California, get as much money and as many horses as could be obtained and then proceed to the states of Sonora and Chihuahua and join in the fighting there"
