FEET
is BURGLARS JINX
Pursued by Mob, He Dives
Into Barrel.

The wide expanse of two feet be-
longing to one Of two alleged house
breakers detected looting the home OF
William H. Scott, 451 II street north
west. last night refused to be hidden In
a barrel with the rest of their owners
body as he dived headlong after an ex-
citing chase into the wooden receptacle
and remained for a time hidden from
q pressing mob, But for the lengthy legs
of the alleged housebreaker, which re-
fused to double into the barrel, he might
have escaped the mob and policemen,
which several seconds before had cap
tured his alleged partner in crime.
Policemen Beauregarde and Lawton, OF
the Sixth precinct, who were leading in
the hunt for the man, descended into
the areaway and found the tell-tale feet
projecting from the barrel. The owner
OF the lower extrsmities, when extracted
therefrom, gave his name 40 John Kelly
His pal" who also attempted to crawl
into a similar receptacle half a square
away, said he was Walter E Young and
that he came from Winchester, Va. Both
men said they were strangers in the city.
They were taken to the Sixth precinct
station and locked UP on charges OF
housebreaking.
Mr.. Scott left his home shortly after
o'clock and had gone about square
when he remembered he had forgotten
his key. He returned, and was dunn
founded to discover that some one had
been in the parlor of the house during
his brief absence. En- route to the rear
room on the first floor he ran face to
face with one OF the two housebreakers.
The man turned and fed to the rear
yard and was Joined in his flight by his
confederate. Scott ran to the street and
summoned assistance.

SURGEONS REPORT
ON MORSE is DUE
Real Condition to Be Made
Known to Taft.

The members OF the army medical
board, which returned to-day from At
lanta. where they4investigated the physi-
cal condition OF Charles w. Morse, the
former New York banker. now a Fed
eral prisoner, VIII probably submit their
report to President Taft within the next
day or two. The board consists of Col.
Birmingham and Majs, Fauntleroy and
Russell.
1t was said that the report would prob
ably not change President Taft's atti-
tude toward the case. Mr.. Taft does not
intend to commute Morse's sentence un-
less it can be shown TO his satisfaction
that Morse is critically Ill and likely to
die.
1t is practically certain that the report
Of the beard of medical officers will con-
firm the former reports received from
the army surgeons at Fort Mcpherson,
Ga, who have been treating Morse for
the last month that his condition is not
critical, although he is seriously Ill from
kidney trouble.
During the last few weeks there has
been marked discrepancy between the
official reports and the press dispatches
from Atlanta in respect to Morses con-
diton. The press reports have asserted
that>he was in a critical condition, while
the official information has been less
alarming.
Some of the Presidents advisers be-
lieve that the stories of Morse's alleged
critical condition were inspired by his
friends who are working for his release
from prison. Mr.. Taft does not intend
to be imposed upon in this manner, and
sent the board OF medical officers to At
lanta to make absolutely certain that
there is no truth in the newspaper re-
ports from Atlanta which have asserted
that Morse's condition is critical and
that his death is imminent.

the Chesapeake and Potomac Company
last night
Mr.. Bethel was elected to the presi-
dency yesterday to succeed his broth
er, Union n. Bethel, who becomes

The wonderful rise of both broth

a quarter telephone stations, and en-
ploying more than 8, 900 persons. Mr..

BEvERIDGE IN PICKLE"
President Taft Derives Joy from
asTurn Down" of Former Senator.

President Taft Derives Joy from
"Turn Down" of Former Senator.
President Taft and his supporters are
deriving a good deal Of Joy out of the
predicament in which former Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, and his lieutenant,
Edwin NJ. Lee, chairman Of the Indiana
Republican State committee, find them
selves as result Of a meeting of the
committee a day or two ago.
Lee is the Indiana Republican who
gave out a statement in washington
when the Republican National Commit
tee was holding fits meeting, declaring
that he had canvassed Indiana and had
found that President Taft could not pos
sibly carry 1t. At meeting of the In
diana Republican State committee the
thirteen members unanimously repudiated
Lees statement, and expressed conf
dence in President Taft's ability to car
ry the State. The action of the commit
tee amounted to Beveridge's own commit
tee repudiating Beveridge and his State
chairman. Not only this, but the COM
mittee by vote OF 10 to turned Lee
down in his effort to postpone the cleo
ton OF his successor as State chairman
from January until April

GOMPERS ISSUES
LABOR'S DEFENSE
Explains His Attitude in the
Mcnamara Case.

An elaborate defense of its attitude In
the Mcnamara case, together with the
reasons why President Samuel Gompers
Secretary Frank Morrison, and Vice
President John Mitchell persisted in the
claim that the dynamiting brothers were
being prosecuted is the feature Of the
American Federationist, Official organ OF
the American Federation of Labor, which
was published yesterday.
Laboring men throughout the country
are urged to stand by the American Fed
Grafton, despite the fact that every
enemy, every interest arrayed against
the organized workers has howled like
a dervish," in the opening statement,
which is signed by President Gompers.
In this he urges the unions to gather
strength from the attacks made upon
them, grit their teeth. and bring new
members into the organization.
Then follows report of the McNa-
mara ways and means committee, COM
prising high officials afiliated with the
American Federation OF Labor, In which
President Gompers and organized labor
generally are completely exonerated from
any part or knowledge of the dynamiting
outrages. This report brings out the
dynamite 4gnited blew up gas in the
building. It was this fact, added to Gen.
Harrison Gray Otis weIl-known antip-
athy for unions that led to their de-
fense OF the McNamara brothers.
At the conclusion of this report, which
is signed by eight officials, comes an
other editorial called "Labor's position
lawful and progressive" This is another
discussion of the famous case wherein
the president OF the American Fedora
ton OF Labor points out the necessity Of
recollection that for years organized labor
has stood for law and order. There is no
reason to assume, Mr.. Gompers says,
that labor would stoop to such tactics
and thereby risk the loss of its good
name. -
