and probably fatally wcunded in a tight at
Lyric Hall. 42d street and Sixth avenue,
shortly before 2 o'clock this morning, dur

Fashions Club. Another girl who got away
with her escort before the police arrived,
was shdt in the arm. Miss I.* Roy was re
moved to the New York Hospital, where It
was saM that she would probably die.
There were more than five hundred
couples present at the ball, which was un
der the direction of George M. Betts. fa
miliarly known as "Kid" Belts, a former
prizefighter. Just before the grand march
started there were about one hundred men
and women seated in the cafe, in the rear
of the ballroom, where Betts was "standing
treat" for the crowd. Thomas F. Cooper's
orchestra had justj caugnt the -opening
strains of "You're the Only Little. Girl."
when up the stairs to the ballroom on the
second floor came a band of ten men. said
to be members of •'Jimmle" Kelly's gang
at 14th street and Third avenue.
The men pushed past the ticket taker,
and William Thieff, of No. 551 Prince street.
Brooklyn, the special officer on duty, re
ceived scant notice. The mm made a rush
for the cafe, bowling over dancers who
were gracefully swaing : to the strains of
the music. They burst into the cafe, with
drawn revolvers, all calling for "Kid"
Betts.
■essje of the dancers were also armed, an i
they. too. reached for tlieir hip pockets.
Soon the shots began to fly thick and fast.
Tables were overturned, dresses were torn
and the shrieks of the women added to the
confusion as they all rushed for the exit.
Special Officer Thieff was thrown headlong
downstairs
When the police arrived nearly every one
had disappeared except Miss Le Roy. the
wounded girl, who was found on the floor
of the caffi, suffering from three bullet
wounds, one near the heart.
Several spectators were arrested as ma
terial witnesses. Dr. I^etphton was sum
moned from the New York Hospital, and
the wounded girl was lemoved there in a
critical condition.
SUSPECT DECOY PLOT.
Jezceller Disappears tcith Dia
monds differ "Fake" Message.
[By Telegraph to The Tribunal
Pittsburg, Jan. 2.—C. W. Morgan, a
rich jeweller of No. 4409 Butler street,
is missing with about $-.300 worth of
diamond rings and $900 in ca.sh. The
police think he has met with foul play.
Mr. Morgan has been missing since
Thursday. To-day the police found por
tions of his torn clothing, his battered
hat and a few diamond rines in the
snow on the bank of the Allegheny
River, at a lonely spot a few miles
above Pittsburg. They believe Morgan
was decoyed to this spot, robbed, mur
dered and thrown into the river.
On Thursday morning Morgan received
a postal card signed by "J. W. Whtt
lach, Verona." asking the jeweller to
call that evening with his best rings, as
he wished to buy one for his daughter.
Mr. Whitlach is well known, and Mor
gan started for his home that evening
with many rings. He has not been seen
since. Mr. Whitlach, whose house was
closed for the week, informs the police
that he wrote no such message.
FEARS A TARIFF WAR,
Paris Newspaper Regrets Ambassador
Bacon's Reticence.
Pan?. Jan 2 —The "Journal dcs Debats. •
commenting on Ambassador Bacon's speech
at the Elys4e Palace, where he was re
ceived on Friday by President PalUeree,
expresses regret at the absence of any
reference to the economic relations between
France and the United States.
It points out that if no agreement is
reached before March ?1, a tariff war ap
pefciF to be inevitable. While President
Taft's last message held out hopes of a
settlement, the pap«r says, a further con
firmation of the desire for an arrangeir«nt
on the part of the Washington government
from the new ambassador would have been
particularly appropriate.
The "Journal de.s Debats" concludes by
deprecating the attitude toward Prance of
ultra-protectionists in Congress, which is
disastrous in it? effect here nnd is undo
ing the efforts of the. moderates to dimin
ish th<^ exaggerated proposal? of the Tariff
Commission.

TRAIL TO LANCASTER.
Detectives Delay Arrest, Fear
ing Effect on Miss Dejanon.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune 1
Philadelphia. Jan. 2.— Detectives ■who have
been on the trail of Miss Roberta Buist
Dejanon. the sixte?n-year-old granddaugh
ter of Robert Buist. the millionaire seed
merchant of this city, and Frederick Cohen,
the middle-aged waiter with whom she dis
appeared from the' Be,llevue-Stratford on
"Wednesday of last week, expect to arrest
them parly in the morning at Lancaster,
Perm.
Following a dramatic chase, which occu
pied the day and lasted into the night, the
detectives definitely found the whereabouts
of three person? they had followed. The
girr&\ father, who was with the searchers.
Mr. Buist and the detectives say that the
descriptions of two of them tally with those
of the missing girl and the waiter. The
third member of the party is a woman,
whose identity, when disclosed, they say,
will create a sensation.
Ferdinand Dejanon, the girls father, who
accompanied ihe Philadelphia detectives on
the chase, left Lancaster at a late hour
to-nijrht, so a? not to inflict on his daugh
ter the pain of his presence al her arrest.
FIIAR RASH ACT BY GIRL.
After two days of heartbreaking hurry
from place to place in the outlying neigh
borhood of Tvim-aster, the person* Re
lieved to he the waiter, the girl and their
mysterious companion got off a trolley car
in Centre Square at 1:3) o'clock this after
noon and sought accommodations in a
small apartment house. The police were
watching tho place up to midnight to-night
and delaying their arrests until they formu
lated a plan that would avert the danger
of any rash act on the girl's part.
Mr. Dejanon. with Detectives Kmmanuel
and Scanlon. of Captain Gallagher's Staff,
and Howard Earle. a close friend of Mr.
Buist. were in the party that found the
persons believed to be Miss Dejanon and
Cohen and their companion.
Mr. Dejanon said 10-night that he was
now certain the girl was temporarily de
ranged, and in an interview went over the
circumstances attending her mother's re
cent illness and death as an illustration of
the trying happenings that led up to her
extraordinary action. The girl, lie said,
was always lonely, and virtually passed her
time without companionship. The death of
her mother left her bereft, and after the
funeral, a month ago. she expressed her
desire to die.
The pursuit began early this "morning in
Atglen, a lonely little town of fewer than
five hundred Inhabitants, lying southeast c>f
Lancaster, and it led from one village to
another along a trolley line leading to Lan
caster, over which tw > persons answering
t«j the descriptions of Miss Dejanon and
Cohen had fled only a few hours earlier.
With the two was a woman described as
about thirty-five years old. who does not
answer the description of Cohen's wife or
of any woman known to Mr. Buist or the
members of his family.
THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.
Detailed information received by the de
tectives here early this morning left them
positive that Cohen, Miss Dejanon and a
woman who may be one of many whose
acquaintance ho made during an adventur
ous career, readied Atglen about 5 o'clock
on Friday afternoon, and departed in a hur
ry the next morning when incoming news
papers brought stories of the elopement
and pictures of the missing girl and her
companion. Detectives Emanuel and Scan
lon. of Captain Gallagher's fore* 1 , accom
janied by Ferdinand Dejanon, the father of
t\ie girl, and Howard Earle, of Doylestown.
.i personal friend of Mr. Buist. left town
on the first train for At glen. So positive
v.ere they thai the chase would end success
fully that they took extra clothing along
for Miss Dejanon.
The last words spoken by Mr. Buist to
the members of the pairty before they left
Philadelphia was a message of forgiveness
for his grandchild. The aged millionaire
sent for his own heavy fur-lined coat and
told Mr. Earle to carry it with him becaase
the girl might be cold.
Beginning at Atglen lat»r in th* 3 day the
chase along the little travelled trolley line
was dramatic in the extreme until it was
lost half way to Lancaster, taken up asuin
at Williamstown and leading finally to Vin
tage, where there is only one hotel. The
missing couple seemed all the tine to be
only a few hours away.
They were traced from Atslen to Gap. a
few miles, away, by trolley, th^n to Will
iamstown. where a false tip sent the party
in i hurry to Lancaster. Here the police.
after a fruitless search that lasted fnr Into
the night, seemingly disproved that the
three had sought refuge there. Tho trail
was taken up again later in 'Williamstown,
and was found to ]pad straight to Vintage,
Just about two mile? away by trolley
Later it led again to Lancaster.

YALE MAKES PLAXS
Will Soon Build Tun Labora
tories on Sage Tract.
New Haven. Jan. 2. — The gift of $550,000
to Yale by Mrs. Russell Sage has made
possible the most extensive building changes
planned by the university at any time. It
is announced at the. university that the con
struction of two new buildings will be be
gun immediately. The university labora
tory in physics, to cost $450,000. which was.
recently given by H. IX and W. J. Sloane,
of New York City, will be the first struct
ure placed on the tract of land, and a n-w
biological laboratory, to cost about $200.
000. ill be the second. "
On the tract will also be placed the new
buildings planned for the School of Forestry.
Another plan which has ben discussed is
that of removing the entire theological
"school from its present site in Elm street,
adjoining the old Yale quadrarar;*, and
placing it in ri»w buildings in th* Sage
tract, turning th» present buildings of the
theological school into dormitories of the
academic department. However, it seems
unlikely that this change will be put into"
effect, as the deeds of land to th» theolog
ical school apparently restrict the lan 1 to
that department. !
The university authorities have promised
that part of the tract shall b« given to th
city for a green, or small park. The gift
of Mrs. Sage is the largest real estate ac
quisition ever made by Yale. it makes
clear that the future development of Yale
lies In the Prospect" Hill region, to th* north
of all the present departments of Yale ex
cept the School of Forestry.
PLEASED WITH CANAL WORK.
Senate Committee Tveturna to Washing
ton After Inspection Tour.
Washington. Jan. 2.— Construction work
on the Panama Canal is not only proceed
ing splendidly, but the system of adminis
tration Is excellent, in spite of the criti- I
cism directed to it. This hi th© consensus J
of opinion of the Senate committee, which
returned to Washington to-day on the dis
patch boat Dolphin after a visit of in
spection to the Canal Zone. In th« party
were Senators Oliver. Peurose. Carter.
Dixon. Heyhurn and Clark.
Senator Oliver was especially Impressed I
with the manner In which the work is
being carried on. The system of stirrtng
rivalry between the army and civilian en
gineers and workers has resulted in imi
lating work, he said to-day. Th« Judgment
of the party is that no change in the ex
isting system should be contemplated, and
all praised the abilities of Colonel Gcethals.
the engineer in charge.
The practical unanimity of the Senate
committee Is expected to cast « blight over j
the legislation proposed In a Mil offered »
in the House by Representative Mann, of
Illinois, which already has been reported
from committee. The bill provides for a
change* i n tne government or th« Canal
Zone and the abolition of the Panama '
Canal Commission. .
