riot, none surpassed in novelty and ef-
fectiveness that OF Gaetano Esposito,

PosTPoNEs BIC TRIP.
Official on Government Mission Joins
to Save Life Of Stricken


washington, April 21.-That the
life of one poor enlisted man is of
more importance than business or
expense was again demonstrated in q
remarkable incident which has just
come to light.
On board the United States steam
ship Vicksburg the ships tailor was
stricken with appendicitis and the
operation performed was not entirely
successful. The navy department and
the state department at Wash
ington were Immediately notified and
after hurried consultation directed
that the vessel steam under forced
draft 800 miles to the nearest modern
hospital at Panama. This was done
in spite of the fact that on board the
Vicksburg was Ernest w. Wands, who
had been sent especially by the state
department to Investigate conditions
in Nicaragua and that upon his report
hung $15,00O,000 loan.
AS soon as orders were flashed to
the Vicksburg every man on board
jumped in with vim and they COM
pleted q record run to Panama, where
the sick man was transferred to the
hospital and Is now reported to be re-
covering under the direction OF skilled
physicians

Branch Of Congress Till
Case Ends.

Chicago, April 21-The announce
ment was made yesterday that Senator
elect w. s. eKnyon Of Iowa will re-
main in the legal branch OF the gov
ernment service for the prosecution OF
the case against j. Ogden Armour,
Edward Swift and others Of the Ma
tional Packing company on charge
of violating the Sherman act by the
operations of the alleged beef trust"
Today is the time set by Judge
Carpenter as the last day for the fl
ing of briefs by both sides In the
argument made by the defense demur-
ring against the indictment.
Mr.. Kenyon's continuation OF the
prosecution as the representative OF
Attorney General Wickersham means
the temporary sacrifice Of being sworn
in as senator. When here a week ago
he said he would not be sworn in until
satisfied the case could be given over
to some one else. He has offered his
services to the attorney general free
Of charge. District Attorney E. w.
Sims expressed satisfaction over the
offer.
"Mr. Kenyon is thoroughly familiar
with the case and the plans for push
ing It," said Mr.. Sims. II am glad he
will continue"
Ruling on the demurrer is expected
in q few days.

.D,A, A,R,ELECT|ON
IS NOT DECIDED,
RECOUNT MADE
After Working All Night
and Until Noon Tellers
F in d Clerical Errors
Adjourn Till Night.

Washington, D. c., April 21.-The
results of yesterdays election in the
Daughters of the American Revolution
will not be known until tonight. A
resolution by the congress at p. M,
calling for report on the vote for
president-general brought the response
from the tellers that no results were
ready. The vote is close and may
swing to either candidate.
Clerical errors 1t was said, had ne
cessitated an almost complete re-
count of the ballots. The congress
adjourned until 8 p. m.
Shortly after 10 o'clock today the
tellers in charge of the D. A. R. bal
lots adjourned to an uptown hotel
on the count. They took the ballots
with them. The count had not been
concluded.
The Story tellers, as they came out
of the room where the night had been
spent, we're smiling jubilantly and
pointing to daisy emblems which they
wore. This gave rise to the report
that Mrs. William G. (Daisy) Story,
the 'insurgent'' leader was ahead OF
Mrs. Matthew T. Scott in the ballot
ing. Nothing official could be learned
however, as to how the contest was
going. Announcement may be delay
ed until well after noon.
y At 1880 p. M, 1t was said cler-
ical error was holding up announce
ment of the election results. At that
hour, however, the report became gen
eral that Mrs. Scott, the administra-
tion candidate had won. The Story
forces, jubilant earlier in the day had
practically given up hope.
