YEGGMEN FAIL
 ID OPEN VAULT
Two Watchmen Bound and Gagged One Sleeps Peacefully While
 Explosives Are Used.

DIES MOINES, la, Feb. 26.-Thugs and yeggmen worked for five hours last night to enter the vault of the state treasurer and were finally driv- en away by daylight. The thugs bound and gagged two of the three watchmen employed by the state to guard the building and the other calmly slept throughout the entire period. although the yeggmen set off two unsuccessful explosions of nitro glycerine in the vain effort to crack the vault
 Over $7,000 in cash was in the vault ready for the robbers had they been able to open the door. The police have a good description of the men obtained from the two watchmen who were bound and gagged shortly after midnight and were liberated at this morning, when the first of the clean CTS came to the building.

CHICAGO WOMEN
 DO N0T VOTE
Only One in Every Ten Who Regis tered for Primary Care Enough
 to Cast Ballot

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The returns from the primary elections held in this city Wednesday are all in and the most remarkable incident in the entire election is the enormous num- Der of women who registered for the primaries and failed to vote, and only one woman voter in every ten who registered took enough interest in the primaries to go to the polls to vote
 Seven women were nominated for positions on the board of aldermen and they will have their names on the official ballot. A large number of male votes were cast for the wo- men, as many received more votes than the total of the entire woman vote.
 An active campaign will be inaug- urated by the suffragettes to see that a larger vote is boiled when the cleo tion takes place in April.

SEATTLE BALLOTS
 NEXT TUESDAY
Much Mud Singing by the Different Candidates--To be Close Fight
 for Mayor.

SEATTLE, Feb. 26.-The municipal election of the city of Seattle will be held next Tuesday and as the date for the contest draws near the mud slinging increases and all the candi- dates are involved. Candidates for mayor, for councilmen and for other city positions have resorted to any method to defeat their respective op- ponents.
 The fight between Hiram Gill and J. D. Trenholme is exceptionally bit ter and both men are confident of victory. Gill promises, if elected, that he will keep the city clean and will give the people an honest admins traitor, and his friends claim that his long experience in city affairs make him an ideal man for the job, while the supporters of Trenholme are also pointing to his record as member of 1Le park commission and urge his election because he has clean slate, while Gill has not. they assert
 It is expected that the two can didates for mayor will have a close fight and their friends are making ev- r-y effort to increase the interest in the election and get out the vote.

EXPECT CONFEREES
 REPORT TOMORROW
Will Take Money Out of Treasury Standard Guage Not Required-
 Amount Still Unsettled.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Con ference committee held its first meet ing yesterday, at which full attend ance was present and they have come to an agreement on many of the points of difference. The House amendment stipulating that the gov ernment road must be of standard guage has been dropped, as the mat ter is to be left to the president and the engineers, the nators pointing out that narrow guage roads might be more advisable in sections of the country and could be more cheaply built because of the large amount of material belonging to the government now in use in the canal zone and soon to be abandoned.
 Most of the track in the canal zone is five foot wide, while the standard guage used by American railroads is four foot eight and half inches.
 The conferees have determined that the direct appropriation of the money from the treasury as provided by the Fitzgerald amendment shall stand and in consequence no bonds will be sold. The amount of money to be appro- priated has not been determined, sev- eral House members seem determined that $35,00O,O00 is enough, while Sen ator Chamberlain insists upon the larger sum provided in his original bill.

 |S PREDICTED Cannot Secure Evidence to Convict Police Lieutenant-Court Refuses
 Allow Accomplices Testify.

NEW YORK, Feb 26.-The decis- ion handed down yesterday by the Court of Appeals directing that Char les Becker the murderer of Gambler Rosenthal be given new trial be- cause of error in the trial of the case and the admission of evidence by Jus tice Golf which the court says should not have been permitted, will in all probability cause the authorities to free Becker.
 The Court of Appeals holds that the chief evidence against Becker was given by accomplices and was not ad- missible.
 District Attorney Whitman has re fused to make any statement regard ing the future intentions of his de partment in the case, but it is ex- pected that if it is possible to secure the necessary evidence that he will force Becker to again stand trial for murder.

TEMPLE 0F LABOR
 PLANS APPROVED

LONDON, Feb. 26.-Final plans were approved today by the London Trades Council for the proposed Palace of Labor" to be erected in the Drury Lane district at the cost of approximately $275.OO0. Besides pro- viding large assembly hall for la bor conventions and suitable meet ing places for the various individual trades unions, the building will con- tain restaurants, club rooms and a moving picture theater. A unique fea- ture will be general provision store on the ground floor for the purpose of supplying food and clothing to members during times of industrial troubles, in lieu of strike pay.

In the moving picture theater arrangements are being made to show especially films telling dis labor stories," which will be accompanied by large orchestra and a pipe organ with much music pe- culiarly adapted to the pictures.

Admiral Dewey in his autobiog- raphy published few days ago. made the statement that he was forced to fire shot across the bow of the Ger man ship to prevent her from taking a position between the American ships of war and the Spanish forti- tications. The German vessels refused to obey the signals to take certain positions in the harbor, where they could not interfere with American operations. As the harbor was in con trol of the American ships of war Dewey insisted that all foreign ships should recognize any harbor regula- tions he might be disposed to make, but the Germans thought that they could do as they liked. The right to board any vessel for the purpose of identity is recognized by international law.
 The German fleet came to the har- bor after the sinking of the Spanish fleet and attempted to pass into the inner harbor. refusing to recognize ord IFS from Admiral Dewey, it was then that he ordered a shot fired across the bow of the kaiser's ship and prepared his vessels for instant action. ordering guns trained upon the German ships. but they backed down.

CBy MARTHA ELLEN PERRYMAN)
First there are some hints it will be
well to observe if you hope for good
fortune in candy-making: GRADUATED
sugar is preferable, and always used
unless some other kind is specified.
Candy should not be stirred while boil
ing. Cream of tartar should not be
added until the strip begins to boil.
and butter should be put in when the
candy is nearly done. Flavors are
most delicate when not boiled with
the candy, but added when it is taken
from the fire, or when it is being
pulled
Butter Taffy.-Boil three cupfuls Of
brown sugar, one-half cupful of molas-
ses, and one-fourth cupful each of
vinegar and hot water. When the
candy viii crisp in cold water add two
teaspoonfuls of butter, cook three
minutes, flavor with a teaspoonful Of
vanilla and cool in buttered pans.
Hickory-Nut candy.-Boil two cup
fuls of sugar and one-half cupful of
water without stirring until the strip

the spoon. Flavor with extract of
lemon or vanilla, set Off into cold wa
ter, stir in one cupful of hickory-nut
meats, then into fiat tins. and when
cool cut in small squares.
eppermints.-Boil two cupfuls Of
sugar and one cupful of water without
stirring until the strip threads from
the spoon. Remove from the fire and
beat with an egg-whip until white and
creamy, flavor with one-half teaspoon
full of essence of peppermints Qess if
you do not like it so strong) and drop
in waters on waxed paper to harden
You can make chocolate peppermints
by dipping the cream into melted
chocolate. Wintergreen, lemon, or
ange and other f1avors may be used
for the minis.
These candies are all easily made
and you will find 1t pleasant pastime
to prepare at home the candies for the
