Corning. N Y , July 5. With the pass

Just what I found I am not yet per

a clear view of the rear of No. S could
be had from the cab of No. 11, for i06S

Schroeder says he never realized the
danger ahead of him until he saw the

corroborated by his fireman. Mack

sixty-five miles an hour, making up lost
time.

CAPTURED AFTER HARD CHASE
New York, July E. Bullets spattered
about David Lewis, a colored convict,
as he climbed, hand over hand, up a
swaying sterl rope to the Queensboro
bridge In a desperate attempt to escape
from Blackwells Island to-day.
Lewis had dropped out of the line of
prisoners on their way to the stone pile,
dodgrd through the turnings of an alley,
and reached a toolhouse at the foot of
a bridge pillar.
For weeks the black had been working
on a suit. In which to make bis escape.
At night, under cover ot his bedclothes.
he had fashioned a pair of trousers out
of a brown blanket and a coat of white
toweling.
The workmanship of the suit ot clothes
was excellent. The black had worked by
touch alone, but such was his skill that
the suit would have passed muster on
the street.
, Climbs Steel Rope.
At the toolhouse Lewis threw off his
striped clothes and leaped to a barret
He reached the top of the little build
ing, and then with a Jump caught hold
of a steel rope that hung down from
the bridge girders.
For twenty feet the convict, who Is
giant, pulled himself up the rope.
hand over hand. Then he swung himself
back and forth until he could grasp the
bridge Iron work. It was over 200 feet to
the level of the bridge.
He had climbed over three-quarters ot
the way up when the guards saw him.
They fired. Bullets spattered on the
girders all about the man. More than
twenty shots were fired, but the con
vict paid no attention to them.
Police Take Up Chue.
The escaping man raised his head over
the bridge roadway Just as two bicycle
policemen came in sight A moment
later he started to run in the opposite
direction.
The bicycle policemen leaped from their
wheels. There was a hard fight and It
was five minutes before the negro was
subdued. In two hours from the time
he broke away from the convict line
Lewis was back on the island.
Lewis had a long and very bad rec
ord, according to the police. He was
practically driven out of the South for
trying to fleece street railways wth
fake accidents.
The black heard that New York was a
good town for street railways and accl
dents, and came here last summer. He
wore clerical garb and posed as a min
ister.

Radcllffe sold his milk to residents of
the town, and practically all of his
customers, together with his own entire
famllv. immediately decided to take the
Pasteur treatment upon realizing that
the cow died from rabies.
The persons who are receiving the
treatment at the Hygienic Laboratory,
and who are fearful that the germs of

HyattsTlIIe Is Excited.
The town of Hyattsville Is in a high
pitch of excitement over the hydrophobia
fright There is but one topic of conver
sation on every hand. Neighbors are
discussing the probable outcome of the
thirteen cases, and some are fearing that
an epidemic will break out It has been
reported that several dogs have died dur
ing the past few das with symptoms of
rabies.
It is also said that there are many
dogs In the town which are acting In a
strange manner and whicn may do ax-
fected with hydrophobia. Some of the
residents reporiea tne aiscovcrj- m ocaa
chickens and rabbits. Never before has
Hyattsvllle been so wrought up over a
matter. ,
Radcllffe's cow first showed signs of
sickness a little more than two weeks
ago. The animal acted strangely, pawing
the ground and appearing very resuess.
Its conduction grew steadily worse, and
a week ago last Tuesday the owner
summoned Dr. Fred E. Davis, a veter-
nB-4a, ap 4h tnwn. to Attend th cow.
TJDon dlasmosls Dr. Davis was of the
opinion that the animal was suffering
from lead poisoning and acute Indiges
tion.
On the day .before the big bull dog
belonging to Lubener, who lives In a
bungalow a short distance from the Had
cllffe cottage, died suddenly. It Is said
by persons who saw the canine Just be
fore Its death that It appeared to have
hydrophobia, paralysis was noticeable at
the time of the dor' death.
As soon as word was heralded abroad
by neighbors that Lubener's . bull doc
was dead, a woman living m the neigh
borhood remembered that a short time
before she had seen the canine bite the
Radcllffe cow.
Lubener burled the dog Immediately
following Its death, and consequently
an examination of the brain of the ani
mal was not attempted. The townspeo
ple begun to suggest at ones that the
Radcllffe coW had rabies. Dr. Davis
scouted the Idea. The condition of the
animal became precarious, and the
neighbors continued, to voice their sui-.

Accompanied by Dr 8. 8. Buckley, as

visited the Radcllffe cow. The two
veterinarians upon examination diag
nosed the cow's ailment as rabies Dr.
Davis finally concurred In the opinion
of the two State officials.
At 9 o'clock list Saturday morning the
cow died. Upon learning of the death of
the animal those who had been drinking
the milk became greatly excited. That
very afternoon Mr and Mrs. Cartwrlght
and their four children, who live near
the Radcllffes and had been drinking the
mflk. hastened to the Hyglenlo Labora

Monday the brain of the cow was taken

Orozco Asserts Intention of
Firing on Light and Power
Plants at El Paso.
COLQUITT IS APPREHENSIVE
Refuses to Allow Militia to i m
Texas Because of Fears
of an Attack.
Dispatches reached Washington yester
day from the Mexican border declaring
that Oen. Orozco, the rebel general, now
retreating on Juarez. Intends to fire upon
the gas and electric light and power
plants In El Paso, which serve both the
Texas and the Mexican City
While no comment upon . this alleged
purpose of the rebel leader was obtain
able from either the War or State De
partments, It may be authoritatively
stated that If Gen Orozco ventures such
an act he will expose his forces to pun
ishment by the United States forces
now gathered along the Rio Grande, op
posite Juarez.
Trains arriving In Juarez yesterday
brought 1.5C0 rebel soldiers from the
south, according to reports reaching
here The arrival of these troops Is
thought to have gten some show of sub
stance to the report of Oen. Orozco's
Intention to fire upn American soil.
Governor ISclllKerent.
The Texan authorities are already
greatly agitated over the situation. Gov.
Colquitt this afternoon telegraphed the
division of militia affairs that he con
sidered the danger along the border so
serious that he would not permit the
Texas militia organizations to take part
In the Joint maneuvers arranged for In
Louisiana. The Governor Is quoted here
as saying that "Texas has licked Mexico
once, and she can do It again." but the
Federal authorities are Inclined to de
plore declarations in the present cir
cumstances. It Is not believed here that Gen Orozco
will tenture such a preposterous thing
as deliberately to fire upon American
territory Tet. should he do so? there is
large force of ca-valry, infantry, and
field artillery stationed In El Paso, and
sufficient to handle any situation which
might possibly develop.
The reported Intention of Orosco to
fire on American territory revives a fear
which haunted the administration dur
ing the worst part of the Mexican situ
ation The greatest dread felt in Wash
ington was that the rebel commander
would deliberately attack Americans In
the hope of bringing on American in
tervention. It was feared that at any
time he might so violate all the princi
ples of civilized warfare, such as by the
killing of a number of Americans in
Mexico, as to force the United States to
Intervene In Mexico.
Oroscoyon Run.
Orozco Is now on the run, ha!ng been
forced am ay from his stronghold. Chi
huahua, by the federal advance and at
tack on Bachlmba, The rebel leader has
repeatedly ascribed his defeats of the
last two months to the treatment ac
corded him by the United States. Par
ticularly docs he hold President Taft
responsible fo his dwindling strength,
because of his action In cutting off the
rebel supply of ammunition by closing
thi custom houses along the Rio Grande
to -munlUons of war destined- for the
revolutionists. This feeling of resent
ment it Is again feared, may lead Orozco
to most extreme and disastrous retalia
tion. None of the officials here will commit
this government to any course of acUon
In case Orozco carries out his threat
Tet It is a -poslUve fact that nelther'he
nor any other revolutionists will be per
mitted to wantonly destroy or endanger
American life and property either upon
Araerlcan sou or Mexican soil. The
trnoDs at El Paso will be used on both
sides of the line if necessary;
WILSON A- FREE TRADER
Colonel Then Says Jersejita Cannot
Win on Baltimore Platform.
Tbrust at Tariff.
Oyster Bay, N. T., July S. The policy
ot the progressive) party respecting the
trusts was taken up to-night in a three-
hour conference at Sagamore Hill. In
the confab were Senator Dixon. Medlll
McCormlck. George W Perkins, George
Stoddard, of New York, and C J. Ham
lin, one of the Roosevelt leaders of Erie
County
As an outcome of the conference The
Washington Herald Is enabled to state
that the third patty will declare un
equivocally for government regulatlqn of
the trusts as one of the means of re
ducing the high cost of living. Roosevelt
and his conferees agreed that the uncon
trolled money combinations play a dis
tinct part In the problem of existence.
They worked over a plank that will de
clare for definite governmentol control
with the view of giving the wage earner
bis share of what the colonel calls the
"prize money" afforded by the tariff.
The argument was put up at the
conference that neither the Republican
Lnor the Democratic platform point the
way to the solution of the tann question.
The mere asseveration that the two par
ties favor reduction of the tariff. It was
argued, does not strike at the vital fun
damental of the problem confronting the
country What Is -needed and this Col
Roosevelt impressed on his leaders Is
absolute control of the concentrated In
dustries no that the power to keep up
prices may be regulated, not by the
trusts, but by the government Itself
To Cry Oat lenlnst Trusts.
On the stump In the latter part ot the
summer as CoL Roosevelt swings through
the country on his third party campaign
he will cry out against the encroach
ment of the trusts. He intends to chal
lenge the Democratic and Republican
candidates to show that their party plat
forms point to any real way out of the
Industrial crisis Into which the colonel
maintains the country has been plunged.
tfor. WJlson J tree, trader quoth
the Baltimore candidate ln.the conven
tion, "but he cannot go out before the
country on the platform adopted at Bal

"I feel the same way about the Demo
cratic tariff plank. Even If Gov Wilson
Is a free trader, he cannot hope to carry
out the promises of the tariff plank if
he Is elected. He might wink at It and
say It was only put In for campaign
purposes, or he might attempt to enforce
it If he tried to put It Into effect It

that the government ought to look Into

Roosevelt takes the ground that free
trade Is a dead issue in the country and
that if revived and put Into effect It
would onlv be a short time before the
nation's Industries would be crippled.
Not si Dictator.
Besides talking tariff and the trusts.
Roosevelt took up details of his nation
wide campaign with his leaders
"We "are getting along fast now." he
said. "In a few days we shall know
exactly where we stand."
Talk emanating from Francis J.
Heney, of California, that Judge Ben
Lindsey. Domcratic. of Denver, might be
put up by Roosevelt as the third party
candidate for Vice President caused
him to exclaim
"I haven't the say about nominations.
I am not a dictator If Judge Lindsey
Is to be the Vice Presidential candidate
the convention will have to decide it"
The colonel would not deny he hs.1

ticket He waved & question concernlns
