WILL PAY LOSS COMPANIES LIABLE ON THOMPSOVS BOND Mill, REIMBURSE -;X MACCABEES TO BE ARRESTED TODAY Shortage of Derelict Keeper of Fi nance Foot* I'll $60,000 at Last Report—Data Being Compiled. SUCCESSOR NOT YET NAMED PORT HURON, Mich., Nov. 8.-It now transpires that the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, which carried the bond of Charles D. Thompso'B; the self confessed defaulting supreme finance keeper of the ,/upreme tent of the Knights of the before being released last July, is still liable for any loss which the order may have sustained " by the defalcation. Representatives of the company, it is said, have informed Maccabee officials that the loss will be paid. It is now probable that Thompson will be arrested, tomorrow. This was indi cated tonight from a talk with officials of the order, and the arrest will come as a result ofthe conference of the K. O. T. M. trustees and representatives of the bonding company. The heaviest loss is said to fall upon the Maryland Fidelity company, as Thompson's defalcations since August, when the National Surety company as sumed the risk, were comparatively small. It was announced today that Thomp son's shortage is $60,000, instead of $57, --000. Al ldata concerning the embezzle ment is in the hands of the bond com paneis, and orders are being awaited from headquarters. In relation to the Maryland Fidelity company's risk, it is said that when that company assumed the bond of Thompson a clause was in serted in the bond providing that if a defalcation was discovered within six months from release, the company would be held liable. It was intimated tonight that the company had notified the Macca bee officials that the loss will be paid. The most important matter for consid eration before the trustees was the se lection of a successor to Thompson. The laws of the order require that that offi cial must be a resident of this state, and the trustees have not heard from their probable selection as to whether he would move to Michigan permanently.

B.—"lnvestigate case of distress at Harrison street police sta tion, and, if found genuine, forward to Fargo, my expense." This is the telegram which United States Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, sent to Assistant State's Attor ney Barnes today when he heard of the distress of Mrs. George Gilligan, of Far go, who was stranded in this city, with out money or friends. Detectives looked into the matter immediately, found the case to be one of real need, and notified Mrs. Gilligan that a ticket to, Fargo awaited her at the depot. Scores of per sons who had heard of the woman's sad plight also sent her many liberal contri butions. Mrs. Gilligan's husband is an invalid soldier of the Spanish war, and she was on her way to Fargo from her home in Indiana when she became stranded here. BURDENS ON STATE ASYLUMS FILLED WITH PATIENTS NOT ENTITLED TO BE THERE MANY WILL BE DISCHARGED Mere senile disability of mind, of the milder forms of idiocy, imbecility and de generacy are not considered by the state board of control to be fit subjects for treatment at the state hospitals or asy lums for the insane, and steps are now being taken by the board to weed out such cases as rapidly as possible. W. E. Lee, of the board, dicussing the question yesterday with The Globe, said: "It is our purpose to prevent, as far as possible, the deterioration of these state insane hospitals into mere alms houses or charitable homes for the care of those who may be slightly affected in mind, but who could and should properly be cared for by their friends or the coun ties from which they come. "We are firm ly convinced from such investigation as we have been able to make that at pres ent the hospitals are filled up with per sons who do not rightfully belong there, and who are merely there because their relatives have been so unfeeling as to turn them over to public charity merely to rid themselves of the care of them, and the counties in which they belong were equally desirous of shirking the bur don. "It is not proper because a person has become old and, in consequence, a little peculiar and erratic that he should be saddled upon the state to be cared for. Such persons cannot be benefited at the insane hospitals, and they merely fill up the institutions to the exclusion of those who rightfully belong there. If the state is going to care for that class of depend ents, separate and more suitable institu tions should be provided for them. "I oannot say now just what method we will take in disposing of them, but for some time past we have been con sidering the question with the superin tendents of the institutions. "I will say that some of the counties have rather imposed upon the state in this regard, and in those localities secur ing a commitment to one of the hospitals has even become a matter of political pull. In other words, one man with a pull could get rid of his aged father or mother by means of a commitment to a state institution, while another who had no pull could not." As a preliminary step the board some time ago requested the superintendent of each of the hospitals to send in a list of such patients as, in their opinion, did not properly belong in the institution. Thus far the only list received is from Supt. George O. Welsh, of the Fergus Falls hospital. Its character is suchVas to fully bear out the opinion of the board. GOLD FOUND IN HELENA. Is on Site of Federal Building, and Uncle Sam Gets It. HELENA. Mont., Nov. B.—A ledge of free milling gold was struck today while grading the foundation for the United States federal building,, w- hi eh is now under construction. The ledge is a very strong one of iron stained quartz, containing free milling gold. The gov ernment, when letting; the contract for the government building, expressly stipu lated that any finds of minerals made by the contractors should go to the govern ment. any conflict of the two organizations, as the end sought by both associations is the perpetuation of the memory of the late president. An effort will be made to prevent any possible confusion or em barrassment in the collection of sub scriptions, and both organizations will use their utmost efforts to accomplish the purpose for which they were s^t on foot. The conference showed that both boafes are well organized to prosecute the work undertaken. No definite action was tak en, as the gathering was, as above stat ed, informal and for purposes of consul tation. net. A man In Chicago, say, calls up a man in Washington. The Washington -ian is not at his office. The office teleg raphone is switched by office boy to the telephone and the Chicago man proceeds ; to speak his message, which is recorded on the steel band of the telegraphone. Then, when the Washington man returns to his office the two instruments* are at tached again, a crank is turned, and the message is as audible as the best phono graph could make it, and without the rasping sound of the latter machine. The impression on the steel band is im perceptible. In fact, a powerful micro scope reveals no traces, it being what scientists term a .molecular impression. • The impression can be entirely removed by demagnetizing the band, which can then be used over again. Mot only.will the instrument report a message, but it will relay or repeat one, and two or more messages can be transmitted simultane ously over a single wire without inter fering with each other, a feat heretofore impossible. A message in the instrument^ can also be sent over any number of wires at the same time, a feature which it is claimed may revolutionise the methods in press association head of fices, where dispatches are sent simul taneously over wires to scores of news paper offices in all parts of the country, i SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 1901.—TEN PAGES. RATES ARE CUT INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW AND ANTI-TRUST LAW FLAGRANTLY VIOLATED POSITIVE EVIDENCE IS GIVEN National Commission, in Session nt Chicago, Listens to Some Very Interesting Testimony . From Railroaders. MEETINGS TO CUT RATES CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-Evidence of flagrant violations of the interstate com merce and the anti-trust laws by rail roads east and west of Chicago, was ad duced at today's session of the interstate commerce commission. _, Traffic managers of lines in the Central Freight association and the Western Trunk Line committee, admitted that ex port rates on grain and grain products are constantly cut and that officials of the roads meet at stated periods and agTee upon rates, which are then pro mulgated by the individual lines interest ed. The principal witness of the day was Traffic Manager George J. Grammar, of the Lake Shore road, and his recitation of the conditions of affairs relative to grain, east-bound, aroused the deepest in terest of the commission. In the opinion of the commission the condition shown by the evidence is the strongest argument that could be adduced for the passage of a bill by congress giv ing the commission the power to make rates, after a thorough investigation upon complaint, and also the power to punish violators of the commissions rul ings. . . Grata Rates Constantly Cnt. Traffic Manager Grammar under ex amination by Commissioner Prouty, ad mitted that the export rates on grain and grain products were constantly cut, that the tariffs were seldom maintained, that the export rates were always secret, that little grain had been moving as domestic grain, that an association existed the members of which met at regular periods and in violation of the anti-trust law agreed upon rates and percentages, and kept a record of the same. When asked why the roads did not publish their ex port-rates the same as domestic rates, ha replied that if they did the press of the country would charge that the railroads were favoring foreign countries and for eign markets at the expense of the home markets and home producers. W. B. Biddle, freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe, admitted .that rates on ex port grain to the seaboard had not been maintained and that a large percentage of the grain moved was moved as export rgain. J. T. Hudson, traffic manager of the Illinois Central, and several promi nent mill owners, testified regarding the discrepancy between grain and flour rates, claiming that the railroads had practically closed the European markets to American flour. It transpired during the Investigation that the commission is interested in the preparation of a measure which is to be a modification of the Cullom bill, and which will be introduced at the next ses sion of congress. It was also asserted that the result of the evidence taken by the commission here and in New York city will be given to congress in the form of a report and petition for the remedial legislation sought.

CONVICTS SHOT PURSUERS OF LEAVENWORTH MU TINEERS KILL TWO IN A RUNNING FIGHT DESPERADOES FOUGHT BACK Seven of the Men Who Escaped Arc Recaptured, and Two of the Number Are "Wounded. LEAVEN WORTH. Kan.. Nov. B.—Ail the police, deputy sheriffs and farmers in the country adjacent to Leavenwortn were on the. lookout today for the twenty-six federal convicts who escaped from the stockade yesterday. As a result two con victs have been killed, two wounded and seven captured unhurt. The ' casualties took place in a fight near Nortonville. Kan., and resulted in the death of cap ture of five men. The dead are: JAMES HOFFMAN, aged twenty, white. J. J. POFFENHOLZ, aged twenty-five, white, a soldier, convict. John Green, aged twenty-one, white, is badly wounded; Williard Drake, white, aged nineteen years, Is also wounded and recaptured, and the fifth, Fred Moore, aged sixteen, a negro, is recaptured un hurt The five men were discovered In the barn of Fay Weishaar, a quarter of a mile from Nortonville, Kan., this after noon. Weishaar went into the barn and was ordered out at the point of guns, lie rushed to Nortonville and gathered a wagon load of men, who, with revolvers, shotguns and a few Winchesters, haeten ed to the scene. The convicts saw the men coming and rushed from the barn. They had two shotguns and revolvers. The posse pursued them and a running duel resulted. The convicts were at a disadvantage and their shots had no ef fect, while at every volley from the posse one of the convicts fell. Glre Up or Die. After two of them fell two of the others gave themselves up, one being wounded, the other unhurt. The fifth was fully 200 y.irds away when a man with a Win chester drew a bead on him and tired. He was evidently hit hard, but tried to go on. A volley was then fired at him and.he fell dead. None of the citizens were hurt. Reports come from various points to - day of the arrest of men supposed to be fugitive convicts. The oldest of the fugi tives Is twenty-eight. Quinn Fort, who was killed yesterday, was nineteen. One of the convicts still at large is a military prisoner, and the remainder were serving terms for rob bery or assault. One is an Indian, and two are negroes. Nearly all came from Oklahoma and Indian territory, and they are 'supposed to be making for that country. They are hardy men, used to firearms and horses. Some have obtain ed both, but others are afoot and de fenseless. Warden Claugherty says he will capture every one of the men. In the districts around the city every road and river crossing that the fugitives might be expected to use is guarded by ained men, the farmers having turned out to earn the $50 reward that will be paid for the return of each convict. Those of the men who are armed are likely to be shot on sight. Two of the convicts, Donald Doric and R. L. Davenport, were c&ptufed today in a field two miles north of Jarbalo. They were hiding In a ravine, and, being un armed, they surrendered without resist ance. The sheriff of Douglass county has also captured two convicts at Law rence, Kan. They are Ole Babo, a half breed Indian, and Joseph H. Deekin, a soldier serving a term for desertion and assault to kill. Frank Thompson, the negro desperado, who led the outbreak, is supposed.to be near Lawrence, heav ily armed. He will probably not be taken alive. Condition of the wounded guards: Jo seph B. Waldrupe, shot in forehead and breast, still critical; Arthur Trelfprd, phot in leg. not serious; C. E. Burrows, shot in neck, slight; Andrew Leonard, leg broken. Mutiny Well Planned. It develops that the mutiny was hatch ed several months ago, but the men had never found a favorable opportunity to carry it into effect until yesterday. The general plan was not new, but it proved effective because of the limited number of the guards. A number of the better-behaved prisoners are used in the outside work; the plot was hatched Continued on Seventh Pngre. PRICK TWO CENTS—{FTvS'cbJit,. FOR REFORM OF YOUTHS MOVEMENT INAUGURATED THAT SHOULD RESULT FAVORABLY. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. B.—At the request of the National Curfew assocla tion, Gov. Durbin has written a letter to the governors of states and territories, requesting them to call the attention of their respective legislatures to certain laws on reforms among the youths of the country. Among these is the curfew law, the law for preventing the impris onment of boys with older criminals, and another compelling officers to return to their homes all tramping, truant and runaway boys. The governor says: "There are no political or denomina tional features whatever about the work and since the brutal assassination of our beloved president, William McKinley, by an anarchist, born and educated in this country, the demand for some method of crushing out the anarchist and the better training of the American youth in love of country and its institutions has become universal. The most sacred of the rights of an American is the protec tion of mothers and their children, and let come what will—sickness, disease, dis aster or death—all interest centers in the protection of the home. And no crime equals that of the man who despises the home. Certain it is that no association, so far as I know in the history of our government until this one, has formu lated for the consideration of state leg islatures, and municipal corporations a series of laws, the encroachment of which marks so large a decrease in ju venile crime." CALLAHAN NOT GUILTY JURY SO DECLARES AFTER THJR TY-SIX-HOUR SESSION Prisoner Accused of Kidnaping Is Finally Reliered From Terrible Strain—Pat Crowe Now in Little Dancer. OMAHA, Neb. Nov. B.—The jury in the case of James Callahan, after being out thirty-six hours, brought in a verdict to night, finding the defendant not guilty and the prisoner was discharged. This is the last echo in the Cudahy kidnaping, and is practically the second time Calla> han has been acquitted of the kidnaping charge. The accused was arrested last February and charged-with being an accessory to the kidnaping of Edward A. Cudahy Jr., son of the millionaire packing nouge own er, and for the release of whom his father paid a ransom of $25,000 in gold. Callahan was first tried on a charge of robbery, there being no statute in Ne braska making kidnaping a violation of the law. There was a trial extending over two weeks, during which about 20D witnesses were examined. The jury re turned ai verdict of acquittal and was severely scored by Judge Baker, who pre s'.ded as trial judge. Callahan was then tried on a charge of perjuring himself In the robbery trial. He has been in jail nine months, during which time he has been under continual strain. During the present trial the pris oner gave way to the nervous strain and collapsed in the court room. Tonight, when the jury came into court room and the foreman said its members had agreed on a verdict Callahan scanned the laces of the jurymen closely, trying, ap parently to read a verdict in their counte nances. When the clerk read the verdict and pronounced the words "not guilty" the prisoner gave a sigh of relief and his friends crowded around him to offer their congratulatiops. He shook hands wich the jurymen as they filed out and thanked them for the verdict. The judge dis charged the prisoner and he will tonight go to the home of his sister, Mrs. Kelley, who lives near the scene of the impris onment of young Cudahy. It was remarked that there was now lit tle to prevent Pat Crowe from coming to Omaha. The evidence on which Callahan has been tried would probably prevail in case of Crowe being tried on the same charges, and County Attorney Shields to night gave it as his opinion that Crov/3 would now return. DUNSMUIR FORTUNE. Widow of Robert Dunsmuir Begins Suit Against Her Son. VICTORIA, B. C, Nov.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. B.—There are still snags in the path of the new isthmian canal treaty. While former ob jections have been removed, and patriots like Senator Billy Mason will have less chance to twist the lion's tail, the treaty, will be met with factious, objections, which have their inspiration in the inter ests which are opposed to the canal pro ject. The enemies of the canal are plan ning to fight it first in the senate and then in the house. It ia never easy to command a two-thirds majority of the senate. In case the Panama promoters find that there is a disposition to favor the Nicaragua route, they figure that they can control enough senators to tie up the treaty. On the other hand, if th« Panama route is favored the promoters of the Nicaragua scheme believe they can do the same trick. So the treaty is iikely to be "whip-sawed" between the conflict ing interests. There is a growing impression here that the Walker commission will make a re port which will favor the Panama rout© as against the Nicaragua one. Admiral Walker has done his best to guard the secret of the commission's final recom mendation. He has so divided up the work that no single member of the com mission has any idea what the report will be. There will be a large mass of techni cal material gathered by the engineers who have been over the ground; but the gist of the affair will be contained in a short recommendation which will be written by Admiral Walker at the last moment. With this report it is to be ex pected that the canal commission will go out of business, and that the admiral' will return to private life and his half pay. Lord Pauncefote returns to the United States with one mission of supreme im portance—that is to cement the ties of friendship with this country. This veteran of the diplomatic world has again had his term of active service extended for no other reason than because it is De lieved he is best qualified to fulfill this mission. Great Britain is anxious t%nt every possible cause of dissension be re moved. She is willing to come more than half way to achieve this end. Through Canada the joint high commission is to be reconvened, so that the Alaska bound ary dispute may be forever settled, ana a better tariff relation established with our Northern neighbor. England has made notable concessions in the matter or the canal treaty, and hopes that the sen ate will promptly ratify the new agree ment. John Bull needs friends and is warming up to Brother Jonathan. SCHLEY COURT TO REST. Deweyana 111* Coadjutors Will \ot Meet Until Monday.
