Mrs. F. Cameron Falconnet. into whose
custody she was given by the federal
court, returned last night to her home in
Minneapolis. grieving for her daughter.
The association Of the white girl with

violation of the Mann white slave act
being made against Johnson. In the early
stages of the prosecution the Cameron
girl was regarded as most important
witness for the government. Later, other
charges were made against Johnson and
the girls testimony was valued less
highly by the prosecutors. For several
weeks Miss Cameron was detained as
witness in the Jail at Rockford, H., where
her mother insisted on staying.
The girl is believed to be hiding in Chi
cago. She disappeared Wednesday night
from a downtown hotel. where she was
living with her mother pending arrange

Political Situation Clarifies
and American Marines
Are Withdrawn.

The political situation in the Dominican
Republic is rapidly clarifying. SO that the
State and Navy Departments have felt
justified in Withdrawing the special COM
mission and the American marines who
were sent post haste to the islands during
the acute phase of the rebellion.
The plan Of settlement arranged by the
special commission is being carried out
satisfactorily. President Victoria's resig-
nation has been accepted by the Domini-
can congress. and that body is now en-
gagged in choosing a provisional president
to take charge of the executive branch Of
the government pending an election and
the Inauguration of a new president.
1t appears that through peculiar pro-
vision of the constitution such tenn
porary executive can be selected only
after three separate ard unanimous votes
of the senate and house in joint session.
The first of these votes has been taken
favorable to the designation of Arch
bishop Nouel, whom, it is understood. the
church authorities are willing shall as
sumo the presidential duties temporarily,
solely in the interest of the pacitication
Of the republic.
It is not doubted that the two votes
yet to be taken will only confirm the first
result
Senior Don Francisco j. Peynado, the
Dominican minister to Washington. who
is about to depart for his own country.
is expected to extend his aid to the pro-
visional government in arranging f1nan-
cial program which will provide for the
support of the government through an
internal loan arranged with Dominican
bankers
The life of the provisional government
will depend upon the time required to re-
store normal conditions. to conduct an
election free from constraint. to canvass
the vote and to inaugurate the new presf-
dent. There are indications that Senior
Peynado himself will be strong cam
didate for the presidential Office.

SHOOTS FIANCEE AND SELF.
Pennsylvania Found Dying With
His Dead Sweetheart.

MAUCH CHUNK. Pa. November 30
A woman lying dead across the bed and
man gasping in death agony on the
floor beside the bed was the sight which
met the eyes of former County Commits
sioner Jacob s. Hawk and his son Gehrie
and state policemen when they broke into
the bedroom of Irwin Hawk and his
fancee in the hotel conducted by Jacob
Haw' on Susquehanna street, late yes
terday, after hearing revolver shots.
The young man is son of the pro-
prietor The shooting occurred shortly
before o'clock and the entire town was
thrown in great excitement. as both the
young man and his fiancee were popular
The young man will die
Hawk complained Of not feeling well the
last few days, and it is believed that his
i'll health, together with the loss of one
of his eyes some time ago. caused him to
commit the deed. He was intensel.- jeal-
Gus of his intended wife.

during the remainder Of the school ses-
sion.
In the other buildings of the college
group, which include electrical, mechan-
ical, civil engineering. chemistry build
ings, a gymnasium and library, science
hall and hospital, study rooms and lee
ture halls will be arranged so that there
will be no changes in the courses or
study. AS soon as the insurance can be
adjusted plans will be started for the
erection of new buildings to take the
place of those destroyed by the fire. 1t Is
probable that a high-pressure water sup
ply also will be provided at the same
time.
The original college building, often re-
ferred to as the barracks" was erected
on property donated by Charles B. Cal
vert. direct descendant of Lord Balti-
more, who died in 1860. Mr. Calvert
owned practically all of what is now
called Riverdale, and gave the land as his
subscription to a fund to erect a private
school for the dissemination of agricul-
tural knowledge
Erected by Entwisle.
The barracks was erected by the late
District Inspector of Buildings Entwisle
in the days when he was engaged In the
contracting business. 1t was started in
1854, when there was no idea of enlarg-
ing the scope of the work Of the school.
but several years later prominent agri-
culturists of Maryland bought STOCK and
the plant was enlarged. The state of
Maryland became interested in the in
stitution, and at each session of the leg
tenance. About $1,000 is appropriated
each year. The college also receives an
annual appropriation from the federal
government under the Morrill, act.
