TANGO AS CAUSE OF CRIME
Srooklyn Judge BIames Theft by TWO
Youths to Nights Given to
Modern Dance.

In suspending sentence in the cases
OF two youths who had pleaded guilty
to attempted grand larceny, County
Judge Fawcett in Brooklyn listed
white lights and tango nights in
the catalogue of incentives to crime
You can't expect to dance all
night" he said, +" and lie abed half the
day, yet always have money for your
carousals, unless you steal it And
let me tell you our jails and peniten-
tiaries are full of people with just
such ideas If your family had given
you good beatings instead of money
to spend, it would have been better
for YOU.
The boys, John Colver, twenty years
old, of 4S7 Hancock street, and Carl
ton Chapman, sixteen, of 362 Jefferson
avenue, had been indicted for stealing
money and jewelry from Adelaide Wis
ton, keeper of a furnished room
house, where they lived for a time
They belong to respective families
of moderate means. Both promised
the judge to go home and begin

LOCATE MISSING MINISTER
Rev. Paul Patmont, Who DISAPPEARED
From Detroit Discovered in
Rib Lake, Wis.

Rugby Jet, Wis.-GorGon KIapp of
Milwaukee, who went to Rib Lake
with the Rev. c. l.. Milton to verify
the Identification of the Rev. Louis
K. Patmont, passed through Rugby
Junction on his way back to Milwau-
kee. Klapp said he talked with the
minister, and, while he is a changed
man in every way, there is no doubt
as to his identity.
According to Klapp, Mr.. Patmont
told a rambling story of his dropping
from sight in Detroit and his wander
ings since June IS. He said a strange
man warned him if he did not leave
Detroit he surely would be killed. AT
ter travelling about the country visit
ing Kansas City, Minneapolis and 9TH
er cities and suffering intense mental
agony, he finally reached the lumber
regions of Northern Wisconsin,
Klapp said Patmont's nerves seem
badly shattered. He is in constant
fear someone is following him and
threatening his life and at times ap-
pears to be in a state of mental coma
In a lucid moment he recognized Mr.
Milton and inquired as to the welfare
of his wife and children in Detroit.

HARD TASK TO HOLD QUORUM
Congressional Whips Are Kept Busy
Rounding Up Members Absent
Without Leave.

Washington.-Mem of congress
who are standing valiantIy by the ad-
ministration to complete its legisla-
tive program despite the approach
ing campaign, while admitting they
are weary of legislative duties and
anxious to get home to their districts,
have resigned themselves to the con-
c1usion that there is little hope for
adjournment before fall
/, Both houses of congress already are
having trouble in rallying a quorum
to transact business but the party
whips are constantly at work bringing
members, who have left town, back
to Washington and they hope to ex-
pedite what business remains. Some
senators and representatives are per-
m1tted to go home from time to time
to look after their political fences, but
1t is the aim of the Democratic lead
ers always to keep a quorum present.

RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY

Granton, Wis-"My sister had q
very bad, deep, wet, running sore on
the side Of her face and it ran up to
her ear 1t commenced with a small
blotch of pimples which turned into
kind of rash and spread rapidly. It
ftched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and it
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. 1t was a kind of eczema.
"She treated for some time and 1t
did not help her. 1t kept spreading
larger and deeper. Having always
used Cuticura Soap we told her to try
1t so she got some Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and used them. 1t was two
months when it was gone" (Signed)

HlNDUS DRIVE OFF POLICE
In Battle at Vancouver Several Ca
madam Officers Are Severely
Injured by Missiles.

Vancouver, B. C.-Scores among a
party of IT'S policemen and constables
were injured, several seriously, in a
battle with several hundred infuriated
Hindus on board the Japanese steam
er Komogata Maru in the harbor
here. Showers of coal and other mis-
siles rained from the ship on the Of
ficial force which attempted to board
the steamer from a tug. In the face
of the fire the attacking party retreat
ed and the attempt to board the steam
er was temporarily abandoned.
The Hindus braved the stream from
a big hose which the tug turned on
them and mercilessly pelted the men
on the decks of the tug with Jumps of
coal. Fire bricks and pieces of iron
the wrecaage of the engine room on
the steamer followed.
The battle grew out of an attempt
to rid the harbor of the Japanese
steamer on which $50 Hindus came to
this port three months ago only to
have the Canadian immigration Off
ciels refuse them admission to the
country Their claim of right to
land as British subjects was overruled
by the courts and the steamer was or
dered to sail with them ON board.
The Hindus had been rebellious and
several times attempted to land but
were prevented.

DEFENDS HIS WIFE
Former Premier CaiIIaux Takes
Blame for Shooting of
Figaro Editor.
SHOULD HAVE ACTED SOONER
Husband of CaImette's Slayer Almost
as Dramatic on Witness Stand
as Herself.

Paris, France.-Joseph Ca1l1aux held
the court for two intense hours testi-
flying in defense of his wife, who sat
in the prisoners enclosure charged
with killing CASTOR Calmette, editor
of the Figaro, on March 16, last The
appearance of NJ. CaiIlaux was hardly
less dramatic than that of Nine. Call
laux.
The former premier, still one of the
most powerful men in France, domi-
mated the proceedings, imposing upon
them his personality and uncommon
gifts of leadership.
Il accuse myself he cried in the
climax I committed a fault.
should myself have acted, but absorbed
by public affairs, 1 failed to realize
the ravages Calmette's calumnies had
made on the soul of my wife,
M. Caillaux spoke as if in the cham
ber, his voice of high tenor, softened
in quality, sometimes rising to falsetto
in moments of excitement He gestic-
ulated freely, pointing a singularly
long forefnger as he addressed the
judges or jury, and occasionally moved
it in the direction of his wife,
The trial has entered on it's political
phase and those who sat in the court
room had occasion to bring to mind
that Caillaux is the strong man of the
radical group now ruling France.
When he married Nine. Raynouard
he knew for the first time what true
happiness was. When he spoke of her
Nine. Cail1aux blushed crimson, and
bowed her head in her hands and
sobbed silently
She was most tender, affectionate
wife," said M. Caillaux. I'VE lived
and live in the closest communication
of heart and mind. My wife, how
ever, took alarm at the dangers my
political campaign exposed nae to. She
tried to dissuade me from entering
Doumergue's cabinet. The income tax,
she said, had formidable adversaries
and 1 should be the object of fierce
press campaigns.
"As she foretold, the attacks recon-
with redoubled fury. but 1 re-
fused to adopt the means employed by
other politicians to stop them.

the warnings of his father and others
that he would be drowned. Suits, in
his struggle, dragged the. boy down
and nearly drowned him.
A half hour later, NJ. R. Travers,
aged So, stepped in a hole and was
carried down stream fifty feet in the
swift current, going under for the
third time when the boy rushed in and
dragged him out by the hair.

a hearing before the senate foreign re-
lations committee on the Colombian
treaty proposing reparation.
Il am solely responsible for what
was done,'' said Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt already has de-
nounced the treaty. He referred to
the proposal to pay Colombia s25, ,OOO,-

regret clause as an abject apology to
gang of blackmailers for building
the canal" What he will say before

little stronger.

Government Troops Search Out
and Execute Rebels After
Winning Battle.
MANY SEEK REFUGE IN HOUSES
Squads of Federal Soldiers Drag Vic
Tins From Hiding Places and Shoot
Them-Porto Ricans Rescued
From San Domingo.

Washington, D. CA number of
Ha,tien rebels were summarily exc
cuted at Cape Haitien after the gov
ernment forces had won a fierce two
hour battle in the streets with 500
revolutionists, who had gained en-
trance into the town early in the
morning before the garrison was
awake
Captain Russell of the battleship
South Carolina reported the affair to
the navy department. His dispatch
said the government troopers, num-
bering 400, repulsed the attack with
a loss of eight men killed. The reb-
els, after losing thirty-one killed, fed
in disorder. Many sought refuge in
houses, from which they were dragged
later for execution. Captain Russells
report, which came by wireless, says
in part:
Capt. RusseII's Report.
"At o'clock in the morning the
rebel forces, under Charles Salnavo,
gained an entrance into Cape Haitien
before they were discovered. The
government troops concentrated near
the point of entry, successfully
stopped the advance. Each faction
Michel and Bellaire opened with ar
tillery. Then the rebels began a dis
orderly retreat. The rebels left their
dead and wounded on the field and
many threw away their arms. The
fighting lasted about two hours.
Between 200 and 800 mounted
troops arrived under the leadership
of Codio. 1t is impossible to make
an estimate of the number of revo-
lutionists outside, as they are scat
tered over large area
Porto Ricans Rescued.
San Juan, Porto Rico.-The United
States revenue cutter Algonquin has
arrived here from Puerto Plata, Do
minican Republic, with 166 refugees,
mostly Porto Ricans on board. One
woman died during the voyage from
the effects of starvation. The condi-
tion of those remaining in Santo Do
mingo was reported to be pitiable, as
it was almost impossible to obtain
foodstuffs, the prices of which were

TO SUE new HAVEN
Attorney General McReynolds
to File Action for DissoIu-
ton i'm New York.
MAY INDICT THE DIRECTORS
Criminal Proceedings Against the FL
nanciers Will Probably Follow
Civil Suitcase Important.

Washington, D. CA civil suit to
separate the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad Company from
it's subsidiary rail, trolley and steam
ship lines will be brought by Attor-
ney General =. McReynolds in the
United States district court at New
York within a few days.
A final effort to settle the problem
without litigation failed, although the
attorney general, T. w. Gregory, the
special assistant in charge of the case
and committee of New Haven direc-
tors were in conference many hours.
The committee came to discuss the
sale of the Boston & Maine stock
owned by the New Haven. 1t desired
this sale to be made free from condi-
tions imposed by the state of Massa-
chusetts, and is said to have declared
that an unconditional sale of the Bos-
ton & Maine stock would insure
price $10,000,0OO above what the New
Haven might otherwise hope to get.
May Indict Directors.
The New Haven case will be laid
before President Wilson and the Cabi-
net. A detailed explanation of the
departments long negotiations with
the railroad to untangle it out of court
probably will follow. 1t is not doubt
ed that the Department. course will
be approved.
There is little doubt here that on
the heels of the suit will come an ef-
fort to have a federal grand jury in
New York to return indictments
against many directors of the New
Haven who served in the days when
it was building up a system which the
attorney general holds is a combina-
tion in restraint of trade. Both the
civil and criminal actions will be
taken under the Sherman law.
