BLAMES "13" AND "23."

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 30.-Harry
Morris, former leader of the younger
set Of Cleveland, o., left the federal
prison at Ft Leavenworth this morn
ing, having completed his sentence Of
two years, less five months time al
lowed for good behavior. Morris was
convicted for attempting to blackmail
Mrs. Don o. Caswell, a millionaire
widow Of Cleveland, from whom he
was alleged to have demanded $4,000
under the threat Of kidnapping her two
young children.
Morris has always laid his convic-
ton to the baneful influence of hoo
doc" numbers "13" and "23," and to
the fact that his trial began Friday,
May 13, 1910. The verdict finding him
guilty was returned at twenty-three
minutes past 8 o'clock and he was
turned over to the prison authorities
May 23 At the time of his trial Nor
ris is said to have been engaged to a
society girl at Cleveland who always
has been convinced of his innocence.
He will enter business with his
brother in Cleveland.

a Petition for Brvan.

Omaha, Dec. ga. \. AFTER is cir.
culating a petition to place the name
of William j. Bryan upon the demo.
cratic primary ticket at the coming
April primary election as candidate
for the democratic nomination for
president. But twenty-five signatures
are required. The law, in referring to
such candidates for president and vice
president, states that "the names of
any persons shall be so printed on
said ballots solely on the petition of
their political supporters in Nebraska,
without such persons themselves sign
ing any such petition or acceptance" +"
At no place in the law is any pro.
vision made whereby such candidates
may withdraw after their friends have
made them candidates by petition.
Thus Col. Bryan will become a presi-

DISCOURAGED BIG MERGER.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Of New York
Knocked Billion Dollar One.


Chicago, Dec. 29.-On cross examin-
alton Albert H. Veeder in the trial
of the ten Chicago meat packers to-
day described the collapse of the "bil-
lion dollar" merger of the packing in
terests planned by Armour, Swift,
Morris and Cudahy in 1902.
He said the formation of the giant
corporation was abandoned at the
close of conference held in New
York shortly before Christmas, 1902,
between the promoters and Jacob H.
Schiff, manager for Kuhn, Loeb e
company, in which plans for financ-
ing the project were discussed. A
later this was reduced to 60,000,000
and the capital reduced from close to
the billion dollar mark to $525, ,000,0 900.
Mr.. Veeder said Mr.. Schiff told the
packers that the times were not pro-
pitious for launching such large
merger and advised against it.
The witnesses said Mr.. Schiff's talk
was gloomy and had such depress-
ing effect on the packers that the
whole plan was dropped after the
adjournment Of the conference. The
direct examination of Mr.. Veeder was
concluded after several hours had
been taken up by counsel for both
sides arguing on the admissibility of
testimony touching the operation of
certain distributing corporations
owned by the packers, to which the
defense objected. Judge Carpenter
reserved his decision.

Crippled Boat Towed In.

Washington, Dec. lJ.-The crippled
torpedo boat destroyer Warrington,
which was run down off Hatteras in
a gale on Wednesday night by an un-
known ship, was safely towed into
Hampton Roads at 2:30 o'clock this
morning by the revenue cutter Onon-
daga, which also brought the destroy
er's crew. Wireless dispatches re.
ceived at revenue cutter headquarters
at 1850 a. IN. announced the Warning
tons safe arrival.
Although the revenue cutter service
reported the Warrington safely in
Hampton Roads this morning, inter.

department report the crippled de-
stroyer passing in the Virginia capes
at 1880 this afternoon under convoy
of the scout cruiser Sala, and headed

STARS AND STRIPES SHOT DOWN
A Russian Shell In Battle at Tabriz
Cuts Down American FIaq.


Tabriz, Persia, Dec. 29.-The Rus
sian occupation of this city is now
complete, and practically all the mem
bers of the constitutional party have
disappeared. The banks and Euro
pean merchants will resume business
tomorrow after passing nine days in
a stage of siege. There have been no
casualties among the resident foreign
population, although many have suf-
fered from a lack of provisions while
they have been boxed up in their
houses during the prolonged street
fighting.
The stars and stripes flying over
the United States consulate were cut
down by Russian shell during the
fighting, but no further damage was
done to the American consulate. No
precise figures as to the casualties
sustained by the Russians and the
Persians are available, but it is esti-
mated that the Russian loss amounted
from 100 to 200 men. The mortality
among the native noncombatants has
not been large, and the reported
atrocities by the troops on both sides
are unfounded.
The operations of the Persians were
directed solely against the Russians,
