HARNESS THIEF
Tells OF HIS
MARAUDER|NCS
Eugene Wi liams Captured in Spec.
taeu ar Manner at Subway by
Police Officers.
COULDN'T KEEP IN THE
STRAIGHT AND NARROW

In the arrest yesterday By the po-
lice of Eugene Williams, d negro,
the theft of sets of harness from at
least half doen parties during the
past several weeks has been cleared
up.
Yesterday, Williams was captured
by the police IN spectacular man
ncr that would enhance a motion
pictu-e scenario. vii iams had
hired another negro to drive him out
OF tho city in II wagon. Chief Full er
received a tip on the proposed move
and Officers Terry and Mckinney
were stationed at the Sycamore
street subway to intercept the man
wanted.
When the wagon was going
through the passage way, Williams
was seen to peep from under can
yasS cover on the wagon, whe~e he
had concealed himself amidst the
stolen property. 1t was then that
the Officers came in view with their
siN- hooters in hand. Williams is
known as a crafty. sort and the pa
tro.men were taking no chances on
his making a dash for liberty
The negro came out Of his hiding
however, with no show of resistance
and being appriseu of the charge
a%a'rst HIM surprised tho officers by
admitting the various thefts.
Tells Of Thefts.
Upon arriving at headquarters, he
gave Chief Fuller a more comprehcn-
size ms ght into his maurauderiRgs of
tie recer-f fortnight He told of thefts
from various parties, his latest being
early yesterday morning when he
stole set of harness from the
stables of Il. T.. Cannon, the coal
dealer at Fourteenth and CONNER
cial He stated he sold several sets
to parties in Mound City and men
toned disposal of sets to farmers.
Williams was lodged in Jail for a
five days sentence last August when
he stole a set of harness from the
Roberts cotton OIL company. He
was advised by Chief Fuller to leave
town after he was feed from Jail
but it appears the straight and mar
row was too hard for his devious ma
turo and he was back at his old
cd tricks after a few months re-
cess,
In his movements, Williams had
all the sagacity Of fox. All his
deprcdations were committed by
night, he told Chief Fuller, and he
he spent the day time under cover
in a dingy domicic on Twenty-sec-
ond street.
As the result Of his arrest yester-
day, Williams will probably spend a
goody portion of his future time
both night and day under cover OF
an enclosure in place designated as
the penitentiary.

They predicted the ruin of the indus
try il the President persisted in his de-
termination to remove all duty on sugar.
In turn they offered as a compromise the
suggestion to the President that he in
dorse a 1 cent duty on sugar for three
years with the provision that sugar be
made duty free at the end of that PEE
riod if in the Presidents opinion it at
that time was advisable. They pointed
out to the President that such pro-
viso would enable him to investigate the
claim that great industry would be
ruined by the removal of duty and told
him that he would be able to insist just
as strongly upon free sugar then, il he
saw fit. as he is doing now.

Powers Defied

LONDON. April 5.-The progress of
lomacy some uneasy moments. The
allies have taken stiff necked inde-
pendent attitude and refuse to acccepr
orders from the powers. The question
is. If it becomes necessary to coercs
them, how can that be done?
The allies recognize this dilemma and
realize that the concert of Europe is
not as harmonious as month ago
The present policy of the Balkan states
Is to debate the peace terms and con-
tinue the war at least until Montenegro
has captured Scutari.
The smallest kingdom in Europe con-
tnues TO defy the six great powers.
King Nicholas talks freely to inter-
viewers, declaring that he will take
and keep the town, which he considers
necessary to the prosperity of his king
dom. Eight warships are bloclSading his
port, but with the exception of Aus
tria- Hungary and Germany this meas
rre Is being executed reluctantly. These
two powers alone demand that Scutari
be Incorporated in the state of Al
bania, and the other four powers have
joined with them apparently merely for
the sake of preserving harmony.
Public opinion of Great Britain and
Russia is strongly in favor of Monte
negro. The British newspapers are al
most unanimous in expressing admira-
tion and sympathy for the brave noun
taineers Montenegro has made the
Asreatest sacrifice of any of the allies
and gained the least, and the English
people do not want TO see the profits
of victory taken from her. They re-
member the Greeks declaration early

Yes, IL is all true: accounts are not

of dead i is impossible to estimate that

have been rescued and many float way

$225, 100000 Revenue
The new tariff revision is expected by
democratic leaders to produce an annual
revenue of s225 100000 from the dutiable
schedules and approximately sl00 600, 900
from the income tax, allowing for free

There is an alternative proposition

necessary to raise more revenue from
the income tax to make up for any de-

reached on sugar. This alternative is
the substitution of one and one-half per
