bad man" OF
FRANCE IN
JAIL

PARIS, July 14.-The Count
of Monte Cristo," the champion
Bad Man of France, today is once
more a prisoner. He was cap
tured by the police after his
fourth escape from prison, and,
with guards about him night and
day, is awaiting transfer to AL
geria, where he will be lodged in
the country's strongest and most
dreaded penitentiary.
The counts" real name is
George Boucher. He is twenty
nine years old. At IL he was
member of a much feared band
of burglars, and before the age of
20 had been sentenced seven
times in France and four times
in Belgium for various offenses.
In 1905 he was called to serve
his two years in the army and
was sent to an Algerian regiment
which is made up exclusively of
law-breakers, and is known as a
disciplinary regiment" He mu-
tinied there and was imprison-
ed. He escaped and made his
way back to Paris after crossing
the Mediterranean as a stowaway.
Boucher was re-arested in Paris
after a fight in which he nearly
Killed several policemen. Sent
back to Africa and lodged in a cell
he secured piece of steel In
some mysterious fashion, and
sawed hole in the roof of his
cage. Again he beat his way"
across the Mediterranean to Spain
this time, and thence to Paris. A
stool pigeon informed the police
of his return and whereabouts
and when cornered he fought des-
perately. injuring seven gen.
darmes with his automatic. In
the hand to hand fight that fol-
lowed the exhausting of his am
munition he stabbed four more
officers before he was finally tax

 Then in clear, solemn voice he re- piled:
 T consecrate myself to the service of the republic"
 The ceremony took place in the beautiful palace Elysee. No oath of office was taken and no oration was made Just d few courteous sentences were uttered by M Fallieres. and these were answered sincerely by Poincaire.

 TAFT'SCABINET l
Expected That Every Mem bcr of Presidents Off ciaI Family Will Ask to Be Released From Duties of Office
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1N.-Before taking up the Mexican situation today the cabinet considered question aI- most as pressing. the resignauons that are to be sent by it's members to Wilson oh March 4. Everybody cX- poets tO resign. Probably the, form letter on file at the state department for the use of cabinet officers and ambassadors and such as are seeking retirement and have had enough of public life will be used by Taft's of ficial family. Secretary Knox k eX- pected to restrict the use of this iet- ter to the cabinet officers and there may be quite q rush at this depart ment early in March.
 Secretary Knox told President Taft and the cabinet today that notWith- standing all the fierce fighting in Mexico City there has been no in fraction of the rules of civilized war fare by the principals. Of intervention by the United States he said that the responsiveness of both Madero and Diaz to the suggestion of Amhassa- dor Wilson had been so complete and satisfactory as to justify officials in their opinion for strictly neutral attitude by the United States.
 It was noted yesterday that the federal batteries that threatened to draw the fire of the rebels in the di- rection of the American legation had been promptly moved upon Wilson's request.
 Apparently the policy of the United States in dealing with the Mexican situation has met with the unquali fled approval of the European powers. Secretary Knox conferred with seV- eral European ambassadors last week and in no case has there been any disposition to criticize the administra
 ton for not intervening. It was de- cIared that there is no inconsistency between the entertainment of the pur- pose of intervention and the steady progress of the movements of concentration of ships soldiers and marines for the last twenty -four hours and that these measures are only a safeguard against the possibility of unexpected and graver conditions that might place the safety of foreigners in Mexico quite beyond the ability of the de facto government of that country to insure. Diaz may soon be in control of the residential section of Mexico City, ac- cording to a dispatch from Ambassa : dor Wilson. Diaz is reported to have advanced his line to the corner of Insurgentes and NiZa streets, appar- ently with the intention of an attack on a nearby battery The White Cross and the Red Cross have dis banded, owing to internal political intrigues.
