Escape Insane Leper in Terror

Lafayette, La. Nov. 8-The
local authorities are somewhat in
a dilemma over the conditions
confronting them in the case OF
an insane leper named Hebert,
who has just escaped from the
|Leper's home and returned to
his native place. in the Fourth
Ward. near Youngsville. Be-
fore the authorities were aware,
Hebert was in the community
wandering about and terrorizing
people on the public highway.
Sheriff Lacoste to-day arrang'
ed with the police juror OF that
ward tobave guards placed about
the poor man to prevent him
from harming himself or others,
but what ultimate disposition of
the case can be made he is at a
loss to conceive, as the authori-
ties at the Lepers' Home will re-
fuse the unfortunate admission
on account of his insanity, and
the insane asylum will not re-
ceive him, as the man is leprous'
| Hebert was sent to the home
some fifteen years ago, but es'
capped, and for some time was a
large. He was eventually re
turned to the leper colony, AM
just a day or so ago escaped
, He is said to be in al advanced
, stage of the disease, and hi
condition is most pitiable.

FIGHT, HIS PLAN
Shuster Was Organizing
Standing Army.
Russia and Great BritainLe
of His Intention.

New York, Jan. 16.-According to ad-
vices received by Colonel Patrick Gal
lagher, a former associate of Morgan
Shuster, the real reason why Russia
forced the ousting of Mr.. Shuster.
from the office of encouragement of
Persia was because he had already
begun to lay the foundations of a ma
tional army in that country. Colonel
Gallagher explains
Before he had been {. month in Per
STA, Shuster felt the strong under-cur-
rent Of patriotism that was moving the
people to resent the division of their
country into spheres of influence of
Great Britain and Russia. Far from
failing to recognize the existence of
these respective spheres of influence.
the treasurer general determined to
give the Persians permanent weapon
with which to resist aggression and es-
tablish their independence.
"Shuster's design ware to work out
tho rudiments of standing army
under the cloak of strengthening the
customs gendarmerie After securing
the approval of the Persian cabinet ne
sent to Manila for some of his old asso-
ciates, who had been in the Philippine
co stabulary.
"Shuster's determination was to go
through the crippled government. as far
as he was allowed and put it into some
thing like modern shape"

ProcIamation OF Abdication.
MORE MILLS CLOSE
Authorities Have Strike Situation I'm
der Control at Lawrence, Mass.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 16.-An eff
fort was made today to start the cot
ton and wooden mills around which
there were scenes of rioting by strik-
ers yesterday. A small number of
operatives appeared for work under
the militia guard, but there was no
interference by the strikers. 1t was
stated that the authorities had the
situation well under control.
Dudlay NJ. Holman. secretary to
Governor Foss, held a conference in
the early forenoon with Joseph J. Et-
tor of New York, who is at the head
of the strikers, in an effort to bring
about a settlement of the trouble.
While this conference was going on
Mayor Scanlon and Colonel Swotzer Of
the Eighth regiment, who is in com
mand of the militia, were in consulta-
ton at the army regarding the patrol
of the mill district for the day.
BY order of Mayor Scanlon all the
saloons in the city were closed today.
Today the Everett, PembertOn and
Lawrence Duck mills, employing
about four thousand hands. were
closed. In the remainder of the mills
about one-fourth of the average num-
Der of help started work.

FOR The TREATIES
RaynOr Approves Arbitration
Agreements as They Stand
But Is Unalterably Opposed to
the Lodge Amendment.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Rayncr
of Maryland, in a speech today on the
arbitration treaties with Great Britain
and France commended that after the
proposed joint high commission had
determined to submit a controversy to
arbitration it would be useless to give
the senate the right to reverse the
commission action. He declared to the
senate that the treaties would become
a mOckery and a farce if such reso-
luton permitting arbitratOrs to decide
a case and then giving the defendant
the right t. reverse it if the award did
not suit, were written into the ratifi-
cations as proposed by Senator Lodge:
What is the use?" he asked, ''ot
having the high commission, OF paying
the enormous expense and of investing
it with the power that it has if its
judgment is not going to amount TO
anything whatever on the face OF the
earth and if the senate shall have the
right to set it aside whenever it suits
them2 To ne, the whole complicated
system of the treaty is absurd If you
propose to tack proposition Of this
sort on to it.
Says Be Frank.
IF the state department has
changed it's mind-and it appears
it has#then let US rewrite the treaty
and be frank with each other and
strike out the clause in the treaty
which gives the commission the right
to determine whether it shall send
controversy to arbitration. am for
the treaties as they stand. l am per-
fectly willing to abide by the decision
of the joint high commission But /
am not willing to enact a comedy like
this which places the whole power in
the hands of the senate and then
leaves foreign countries to under
stand that the power vested in the
commission is a genuine one and that
we intend to abide by it.
II have no objection to the resolu-
ton of Senator Root in the formal
ratif1cations. That is the way the
treaty ought to be passed and ought
to be adopted so as to make it per-
fectly plain that We will not arbitrate
questions like the Monroe doctrine,
state Indebtedness or immigration.
Don't Mean an Alliance.
Senator Rayner added that the
treaties did not mean an alliance with
Great Britain or any other country.
IF they did" he said, Il would
rather see the treaties torn into
4 shreds than accepted. The day will
| come when Germany will enter into
| the compact and when that occurs
and the United States and Great Brit
/ ain and Germany and France sign and
| seal the covenant the era of universal
/ peace will dawn upon the world.
Then the earth will no longer rock
! beneath the tread of battling legions,
and naval ornaments will no longer
patrol the waters of the world in
search for the possession of uncon-
quered races and then under God s
guidance, the dove of peace will build
it's nest within the cannon's mouth"

Oh what has become OF the orator,
Whose passion was to recite2

The one we can neer forget?

Is driving a hack these days;
While the fool owns stock in a bank or

And a railroad that always pays.

Oh, he is preacher now.

HE PRAISES COBURN.
Coburn Rode Into Fame on POrker's
Back, STEELE Says.

The first advertiser in the world 8
history was also the greatest adver-
tiser, and the first advertisement ever
written or spoken was also the great
J. M. STEELE, of Kansas City, president
of the American College of Dress
making in speaking at noon before
the Ad club. And this first and
greatest advertiser was none less than
the Great Jehovah himself.
when God looked out upon the
face of the universe and saw that all
was void, and darkness rested upon
the face of the deep, his Divine in
sight saw a great need and that great
sneed was some fundamentally to dis
pei the darkness. In this we at once
see the essential, fundamental, and
basic element of all advertising,
namely, discerning either a need
which now exists or a want which
may be created and cultivated and
then pointing the way to the gratifi-
cation of this desire, telling where
and how it may be gratified.
when God wanted to advertise
himself, and I say this in sincere rev.
erence, He flung forth into the face
of the fathomlesS armament this in
finite fact, Let there be light And
there was light. and when He saw it
He said it was good.
God believed in the continuity of
advertising. He believed in deriving
the full accumulative effect of con-
tinuous advertising, and mis- first ad-
vertisement quoted above has been
pulling ever since and will continue
to pull until this universe shall be
rolled again into a scroll and cease to
be forevermore.
"The history of Kansas is replete
with advertising men, good and great,
who have stamped their names in
delibly on the folk lore of their time.
The present day is full of them-mould-
ers of public opinion. 1 could not be-
gin to mention even a small percentage
of them. Perhaps the greatest of them
today, however, is your secretary of
agriculture, who rode to fame on
hogs back fguratively speaking. Sec
rotary Coburn is better known to the
average citizen of the u. S. today than

BUTTER AT so CENTS
That Is the Price Chicago Retailers
Look Forward To.

Chicago. Jan. 16.-Sixty cents a
pound for butter was said today to be
the price to which retail dealers here
looked forward.
Quotations this afternoon reached
AZ cents, the highest in the city mar
ket history.
This additional burden on the cost
of living was blamed by the store
keepers to scarcity resulting from the
recent severe weather conditions. bur
other persons were not slow to ascrfbe
the advance to an alleged trust which
has been under investigation by the
federal authorities. The burden. ac-
cording to one usually well posted au-
thority, is declared to be on eastern
houses that nave been manipulating
prices by means of large holdings az
cold storage butter.
