DEPUTY TREASURER
 IN PLOT
COUNTY SAFE FAILS AND HE 5 ARRESTED.

UES MONIES, Ia Apri' James Buckingham, deputy county treasurer, and Al Rhodes, one of the most nOtC- riOus characters in the city, are in the city jail charged with being inn plicated in the attempted footing last night of the vault in the Polk county treasurer's office, which contained more than $loo, 900 in taxes collected yesterday.
 Tom Hatch alias George Gray. e garded by the police as one of the boldest criminals in America, who was named by Rhodes in confession made to Captain Jackson and to Detective Sims as the chief man in the plot, has apparently made his escape with a confederate.
 nformatiOns were filed in police court at noon today against O'Cal- laghan and Rhodes, signed by Capt. Jackson, charging burglary in the night time. The Offcnse charged car res with it a maximum penalty of life Imprisonment. Rhodes was ar rested at 3 o'clock this morning fol lowing the attempted robbery after a gun fight between the police and the four vegas, in which Rounds man McMickle narrowly escaped with his life
 Detective DenhOlm. RoundSman Me Mickle and Patrolman Pederson were on their way 10 the Rhodes home on Chestnut street when they encoun tered the four men in an alley on the north side of the street. As the three policemen approached one of d., man McMickle fell A ball graZed his cheek. Two of the men ran north up the alley and Rhhodes and OCallaghan are said to have run west Rhodes was captured by De- tective Denholm and Patrolman Pe- derson.
 The attempted robbery at the court house took place between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning. c. w. Keller, a clerk in the office, was asleep on couch in the treasu"er's private room when he was awakened by two men who. after covering him with gun. securely bound his hands and legs.
 A futile attempt was then made 10 blow the steel door of the vault with nltro-glycerin. The lock was completely demolished by the charge. and the handle blown away, but the big steel bar which held the door re- mained securely in place.
 Deputy Treasurer OCallaghan pro- tests his innocence. However, he was seen to leave the treasurer's of flee yesterday and go to the base ment of the court house. The base ment windows were unlocked and through them the yeggmen made their entrance and exit last night O'Callaghan was also seen talking with Rhodes early in the evening. O'Callaghan is we'll known politi- elan.
 It is believed the sound af the ex- plosion was so loud that the yegg men were frightened and decided to make a getaway without another at tempt. One more charge of dynamite would have lifted the door

ITALYS NEWWAR LEVlATHANS
Four Great Ships With 14-Inch Guns
 Are to Be Built.

ROME, April l.-At the request of the Minister of Marine, the Ansaldo Odero shipbuilding yards and five na- val engineers have submitted plans for improved Dreadnoughts of from 25.O0O to 27O00 tons displacement The vessel is to carry twelve IA inch guns and the cost is not to ex- ceed $15.000.000. The plans will be examined by the Superior Council of the navy. Four ships of this kind will be laid down as soon as the plans are approved and provision has been made for an expenditure of $60,00O,000 on them.

 REFERENDUM.

LONDON. April 1-Home politics have shown further confusion dur ing the week. In the Unionist camJ there has been much talk about the referendum. but what the Union, ist peers thought of the idea was plainly shown when the House of Lords hung up the referendum bill One peer confessed that he preferred the veto bill to Lansdowne's plan The reform bill does not seem to kindle any enthusiasm as time goes on, and there is a growing belief that the Lords will ultimately swal low the Governments bill.
 Income Tax Problems.
 An important point concerning the income tax has been settled in court on an appeal. An insurance com pany having certain investments in the United States and Canada plead ed that it was not liable to an in come tax on the interest and divi- dendS from these investments, as they were received by the company's agents in Canada and the United States, and none of the money so re- ceived was remitted, but the whole amount was merely credited on the company's books. The appeal was dismissed and the company ordered to pay.
 Another income tax appeal was made by Bayard Brown, the eccen- tric American who has lived on board his yacht off Brightlingsea for the last twenty years. Browns counsel pleaded that although the yacht was always moored there crew was al ways on board and the vessel was kept in seagOing condition. The judge decided that if a man can live on a yacht moored a few yards from the shore of this country he lives in the country, and is accordingly lia ble 10 the payment of an incCmr tax
 IreIands Great Loss.
 The Irish emigration statistics which have just been made publlc for the year 1910 go to show that the various land purchase and laborers acts and the frequent prophecies Of approaching home rule have not .uf feed by any manner of means to keep young Ireland at home. The reports show that 1923 emigrant5, of whom 1S,113 were men, left Ire land in 1910. This is an increase of 3,693 as compared with 1909.
 Of the total number of persons who left Ireland S6.9 per cent. were between the ages of 15 and 35, while only 62 per cent. were over 35. In actual figures 13,493 of the emigrants were between the ages of 20 and 25, Only 2S5 of the total number were married. One-third of them had pas- sage moneey sent them from Amer ica.
 It appears that the whole number of Irish emigrants who have left Irish ports since January 5, 1851, ID to and including the end of 1910 vas 41S7443

-mbibed, and she besought her friends
to permit her to return to her tribe.
This they refused to do, and she died
OF a broken heart. Quanah, then a
youth, went back to his people and
fought the whites until 1874, when he
surrendered to Gen. Mackenzie at
Fort Sue, Ok.
After that Quanah became as good
a citizen as he had been a soldier.
The town of Quanah, Tex, was named
for him, and he gave considerable
sums of money to the public institu-
lions OF the town. He accumulated
property rapidly and he knew how to
take care Of 1t when he got it. But he
was generous, and had a host Of
friends among the whites. while among
the Comanches he vas looked up to
as a sort Of demi-god.

RICH INDIAN IS DEAD
Quanah Parker a Famous and
Picturesque Chief.
Noted Comanche Credited With Hav.
Ing Killed Many White Men Has
Lately Lived Like a Lord
in Oklahoma.

Lawton, Ok.-One of the wealthiest
and most picturesque American In
dams passed away recently here, in
the death Of Quanah Parker, the fam
Gus chief Of the Comanche tribe. He
was credited with having killed hun
dreds OF white men In his early days,
but for years he had lived a civilized
life.
Chief Quanah lived like a lord in a
$4,000 mansion, and was the proprie-
tor of a great cattle ranch, besides 800
acres of farming land under excellent
cultivation. Some estimates placed
his wealth at $1,000, 900.
He had sever wives and innumera-
BILE children. Three of his sons stud
led at the Indian school at Carlisle,
Pa, some years ago.
The chief was a friend and admirer
Of Col. Roosevelt, with whom he had
hunted, and was accustomed to tell
with pride how when it was proposed
to sell certain Comanche lands for
$3.50 al acre. his protest to the col
onel. WING was then president, brought
a prompt promise that the price should
not &c Nnder So an acre.
Parker had completely mastered an
appetite for strong drink and he de-
spised gambling, a vice to which great
numbers Of his people were addicted.
The chief was the son of a white
woman, Cynthia Ann Parker, daugh-
ter Of Gen. Isaac Parker, a distin-
guished Texas politician, who over 60
years ago lived in Parker county, that
state. She was captured when 4 years
old by a m%arauding band Of Co
manches, which attacked the family
home. The child grew Up as an In
dian. learning their language, and fin
ally marrying Chief Quanah, one of
the warriors Of the tribe.
When little Quanah was a small boy
his mother was retaken by her friends
and restored to her old home in Texas.
But the new surroundings were in no
way suited to the wild spirit she had
