Synopsis-Typical tramp in APP
pearance. Daniel Randolph titz-
hugh. while crossing a Chicago
street. causes the wreck of an auto,
whose chauffeur disables it trying
to avoid running him down. In
pity the occupant of the auto, a
young girl, saves him from arrest
and gives him a dollar, telling hlEi
to buy soap, and wash. His sense
of shame is touched, and he I'M
proves his appearance. That night
he meets Esther Strom, Russian
anarchist, who induces FltzhuSh
to address a meeting. Fitzhugh
visits Symington Otis, prominent
financier, and displaying a pack
age which he says contains dyna-
mite, demands $4,000. Otis gives
him check. At the house he

him the dollar, and learns she is
Kathleen Otis. She recognizes him.
Ashamed, he tears up the check
and escapes, but is arrested. Esther
visits Fitzhugh in Jail and makes
arrangements for procuring legal
advice. His trial is speedily COM
pleted and he is found insane and
committed to an asylum, from
which he easily makes his escape.
Fftzhugh takes refuge in Chicago,
with Esther, who has become in
fatuated with him. With the
thought of Kathleen in his mind,
his one idea is to become rich and
powerful, and win Kathleen. While
hiding in Esther's house he grows
a beard, which effectually changes
his appearance. In fight with
iNikolay, jealous admirer of Esther,
Fitzhugh worsts him, leaving him
unconscious, and escapes. Secur-

that Nikolay has been found dead
in Esther's house, and in a letter
to him she admits the killing, tell
ing him she did it for his sake and
that she has gone away. He sees
Kathleen from a distance. and is
strengthened in his determination
to win her.

HUNGARlANS INSIST
 PLEBESCITE BE HELD

Paris. April 10-Hungarian peace delegates will refuse to sign any treaty which does not provide for their country, it is learned on good authority. Limitations have already reached the delegates that demands for plebiscites will be refused and it is thought possible that Count Ap- ponyi, head of the Hungarian repre- sentatives, will not return to Neuilly to receive the supreme councils re- ply to objections recently filed here.
 As soon as the councils reply is received, it is expected the president formed that the Hungarian delegation has not been empowered to sign such a treaty. The Hungarians hold thai it is impossible to sign away diSput- ed territories without plebiseiteS, as the national assembly does not con tain delegates from the districts ir question and does not possess au- thority to dispose of them without the consent of the inhabitants. It is asserted there is in Hungary no DO, litical party existing, nor could one CT on the policy of accepting the pro posed amputatfonS, and thus the onl1 way the peace conference can aSSurt the execution of such a treaty would be by force, involving prolonged oc cupation of different mountain re gionS by large army units.

BOY PROBABLY
 FATALLY HURT Frank Morella Was Run Over By Automobile
 Truck.

While playing on the dump at the corner of Park avenue and Atwater street, about 10 o'clock this morn ing, Frank Morella, 1S, of 546 Harral avenue, was run down and probably fatally injured by an automobile truck driven by Daniel Jennett, of 200 Jackson avenue. The boy is now in St. Vincent's hospital where his con- dftion is said to be extremely criti- cal.
 According to the story told the po- lice, Jennett drove his truck into the dump this morning, and noticed two boys playing near the spot The youngsters came up to the front of the machine, and Jennett then turned the truck around and backed it up. He says that he felt the rear wheel strike something, but at the time he thought it was a rock. The front wheel then passed over the object and few seconds later Jennett saw the boy lying on the ground.
 The driver rushed the youngster to the Emergency hospital, and from there he was taken to St. Vincent's hospital. He is suffering from 2 ruptured lung and it is not expected that he will recover. Jennett was arrested this morning on a charge o1 reckless driving, but this will bt changed to manslaughter in case O the death of young Morella.

 MAN ALICHTED Coroner Seeking More Wit nesses To Fatal
 Accident.

That he did not know Michael De Nos alighted from the jitney was the testimony today of Bladimir Osadach, 631 Sti1lInan street. who drove the jit- ney on April last when DeNos was killed at State street and West ave nue. This testimony was given before Coroner Phelan when an inquiry into the death of DeNos was started. Osa- dach said he was looking straight ahead and did not know anything about the accident until passengers shouted to him.
 Passengers testified that DeNos arose when near the corner of West avenue. He was preparing to get of when he suddenly pitched forward to the street, as if his foot had caught in something. None of the passengers heard DeNos ring the bell for the driver to stop. He died April from a fractured skull caused by his sud den fall to the pavement. There were several other jitney passengers who saw the fatality and Coroner Phelan would like to have them communicate with him.
 Osadach was arraigned in city cour1 today and his case continued ont week.

 LETTER PUBLIC Governor Gives His Req sons For Not Calling
 Assembly.

Hartford, Conn. April 10-There was made public today by Colonel Isaac NJ. Ullnan, of New Haven, chairman of the mems Republican ratification committee on suffrage and chairman of the resolutions commit tee at the recent Republican State convention, a letter written him by Governor Holcomb under date of March S1, in which the governor re- plies to the arguments made before him by Colonel U11man and others at the capital the day before in favor of a special session of the legislature to act upon the suffrage amendment. Colonel Ul1rna,n and party at that time presented resolutions adopted by the State convention calling for special session on the ground that there ex- isted a special emergency.
 Said the governor in his letter:
 q do not agree with this claim a special emergency cannot be manu- factured by inSistent and persistent appeals, otherwise in these tempera- mental times, the General Assembly will be in continuous session.
 ''One of the provisions of our con stitution is intended to prevent nasty action > and I find no juStmica- 1 ton for converting a special session '' 1 In his reply to the governors let ter Colonel UIlman says he has hopes that proofs of an emergency will yet be presented to the governor with convincing force. He refers to the two special sessions called by the gov ernor on previous occasions and says 1 neither of these prior cases, noI both together, approached the present
 one in magnitude. The first con.
 cerned the votes of about 2,00O sail
 DTS on the Mexican border; the second
 about fifty to seventy-five thousand serving in the great war.

 No indication has been given as to what course the mine leaders would pursue and interest was centered in a conference of the men with their at- torney, Phil B. Gallery. Miners present yesterday when the men were sent t1 jail told Howat the mines would not operate.
 Our position now is the same as 1t was from the beginning, since the tn- dustriaI court law was passed at the instgation of Governor A3ten,' Rowat said in a statement given to the press from the jail. This law is intended to enslave the working class of this state and to destroy organized labor and is intended to put the mine work CTS and all other classes of labor back where they were years ago before we had an organization. The mine workers of district number IA (kan- sas) were compelled to strike for four years in order to compel the coal op- orators in this state to recognize o1r right to belong to a labor oFganS1a- ton The miners and their families suffered untold hardSt4ps to establish our organization here. We were fighting then Tor a principle and we hoped that when the fight was wo2 we could tsaRd up and proclaim to the world that at last we were nsS men.
