ANARCHY REIGNS fc IN THE CAUCASUS Open Murders Occur DailyCzar Must Reconquer Whole of Territory. New York Sun Special Servioe. Batum, Sept. 12.(Decayed in trans mission. By Luigi ViHari)The whole Caucasus is in a state of absolute an- i archy. There iB no semblance of gov ernment. The Russian officials having failed by measures of savage repres sion to curb the turbulent spirit of tho 150 warring tribes peopling this re gion, is now engaged in the policy of Betting one race against another. This has resulted already in the wholesale massacre of Armenians by Tartars at Baku and elsewhere. Batum, despite the presence of a huge garrisont is entirely dominated by the revolutionary terrorists commit tee. The ultimate aim of this commit tee is not clear, but its methods close ly resemble those of the Mafia. The employers of laborers paid advance af ter advance of wages until at last they could afford it no longer, and a gen eral strike followed and all factories closed. Unpopular factory officials have been assassinated by the score. Every day murders are committed in the street in broad daylight. All the works and factories have Cossack platoons en camped in their inclosures. AU busi ness is at a standstill. Banks are closed, disorder and lawlessness becoming chronic and the Eussian gi ernment dares not do anything. The re-establishment of the czar's authority now means nothing less* than the reconquest of the Caucasus. A prominent journalist of Baku was killed by Tartars who were conducting a crusade against newspaper men. The oil men here have received information that the insurgents threaten to kill the operatives when they resume work and to burn the works now in course of reconstruction. Five Axe Assassinated. London, Sept. 16.The correspond ent of the Daily Mail at Baku, under date of Sept. 15, says: Within the short space of two hours this morning five assassinations were committed in broad daylight in the busiest thorofares. The murderers es caped owing to the indifference of the police, who are mostly Tartars. Sinis ter rumors that another Tartar attack on the Armenians is contemplated has caused a panic among the inhabi tants." CZAB REMOVES TARIFF Retaliatory Duties on American Im ports Are Out Off. St. Petersburg, Sept. 16.The im perial ukase abolishing the retaliatory duties on American imports was ga zetted, and was placed in immediate ef fect at all the customs houses by tele graphic orders from the ministry of finance.

HENRY SHAPED IOWA MANS%M '^'f.fr-BMBEARS A,CHARMED LIFE Who Counts His Hairbreadth Escapes, Almost by the Score. :e.CM::c:e*x::c:f/'2R o. Eldora, Iowa, Sept. 15.'Henry Sha- fer,'' non-conductor,'' are the name and title of an interesting Eldora man, who has probably figured in more thrilling accidents, more hair-breadth escapes from death, while endeavoring to earn an honest dollar fpr his family, than any other man in America. The following list, revised and up to-date, gives an idea of the trouble which has given MT. Shafer this no toriety. The list is correct and the story of his career which follows a true one: Rescued from drowning in the Iowa river at age of 6. Struck by lightning three times. Wounded, maimed and left for dead in a cavein of a coal mine. Fell thru a trestle bridge, breaking seven-ribB. Shot and blown twenty-five feet by the premature discharge of a cannon, losing an eye, arm and two fingers. Crushed under 5,400 pounds of clay, both legs broken. Tailing twenty-five feet down a per pendicular cliff. Thrown off a horse in a runaway and dragged along a barbwire fence. Shafer was born in Michigan in 1852 and came to Hardin county with his parents fifty years ago, and has lived in the county since. He is a poor man and no man in the community works longer hours, steadier or harder. Learn- tiiitSTX Special to The Journal. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 16.Pat Crowe, the elusive, who has the entire police force of the city bluffed, has at last become a political issue in Omaha. "Elect me sheriff and I will get Pat Crowe or the coroner will get me," says Tony Donahoe, who wants to suc ceed the present sheriff, John Powers. Up to last week, when Crowe met and "licked" half a dozen of the Omaha police force in a fair fight, the kidnap- Eer walked around Omaha, South Oma a and Council Bluffs with impunity. On the very afternoon of the fight with the police, Crowe sat in an automobile in front of Beaton's drug store in the very heart of the retail district and calmly drank an ice cream soda. Twenty-four h6urs after the fight he entered a well-known restaurant on Broadway, Council Bluffs, ate a por terhouse steak, paid his bill and walked out without being molested. It is talked openly on the, streets that Crowe has repeatedly entered one of the swellest hotels in Omaha and "held up" the proprietor for cash. Crowe never went to the trouble of a "stand and deliver" robbery, but simply told the hotel man that he need ed the money and had to have it that he "wanted to borrow $25 badly." The proprietor always came forward with the money, too. In the same way Crowe is said to have practically robbed several well known wealthy persons in both Omaha and South Omaha. All knew Crowe and the desperate daring of the man was such that they preferred to submit to the "touch" rattier than make any resistance. Really Arrested Once. Crowe was really under arrest in Council Bluffs three weeks ago, but made a sensational escape by leaping from a streetcar window. On this oc casion he dropped his "gun" arid be fore it could be recovered he was in the hands of an officerr The policeman did not know it was Pat Crowe. If he had, his enemies are saying he would never have attempted to arrest him. Ostensibly, Crowe was very drunk and leaned heavily on the policeman's shoulder, as he was carried toward the jail on a streetcar. The policeman MM CURED Dr. B. F.

McGee, who was head "of the anthropological department of the world's fair, was in St. Louis on his way back to Washington, and told a reporter, after a remarkable four months' experiment in the great American desert in Arizona, in which he says he discovered how storms are bred in the region which has long been termed the storm-breeding" belt. A reservoir of aqueous vapor is formed over the pacific coast and the Gulf of California." he said, "and this swings over the 'storm-breeding belt.' The ground here is perfectly level and the radiation from the earth's surface 'is consequently regular and even. The heat radiation from the desert is, of course* verv great. This strong radiation by its reafularity keeps the aqueous vapor high above the earth in a stable condition. 'When the vapor moves eastward over the mountains and meets the ir regular radiation that comes from the uneven surface Q$ the earthy a prjecipi tation %&* ngfajpato 1 f*.^ Struck %y Lightning Three Times and Mangled by Prema ture Discharge of Cannon(to Injury Dis courages Him: ing the trade of a miner at the alge pf 15, he worked for nineteen years under ground. An accident at the mines forced him to forsake them, and he commenced upon his series of accidents above grounds First Encounter witn Lightning. Shafer says his experience with light ning commenced when he quit mtning and while he was at work in a harvest field. He was so badly shocked and stunned that the harvesters had much difficulty in bringing him back to life. He remembers nothing of the experi ence. Shock No. 2 came about two years ago as he was returning home one night. In front of St. Mary's church a tele phone pole waff struck by lightning and Shafer was hit by the bolt in the legs and thigh. He lay stunned upon the pavement until seen by a son who chanced to pass and wao carried what he supposed was his father's lifeless body home. Shafer soon revived, but lost his voice temporarily. Shot by a Cannon. In a celebration of the Fourth of July on the public square in Eldora, a sham battle was one of the features and Shafer was acting as gun swabber of. an old-fashioned cannon. By a prema ture discharge of the old gun he was blown fully twenty-five feet. The ramrod in its flight carried away Schafer's arm, powder blew out* one eve and frightfully injured the sight of the other, and by flying splinters three fingers of his other hand were badly hurt. He was supposed to be dead, but within six moWths went to work. Last October Shafer decided to visit the St. Louis exposition. The day be fore he started he worked in a rock quarry and slipped and fell headfore most down twenty-five feet of cliff, striking on his side. Workmen hur ried to his rescue and his first words came in the declaration. "This need not hinder my goi'n'g to the fair." He did go as he said he would, but with the aid of a quart of liniment, a crutch and a cane. His Last Accident. Shafer's last accident occurred last month. After a hard day's work he sat upon the grass to rest'when light ning singled him out a third time and, felling him face downward, nearly took his life. When found by Mrs. Shafer has face was black, his body stiff and cold, and clinched in his fingers was a flower. He revived in four hours, lay in bed two days, got up used a cane and a crutch for a week, worked all last week at the Hardin county fair and this week has been hauling tele phone poles. Shafer is made the butt of many jokes and is known as "the nine-lived man," and "the human non-co'tfduct- or." He takes all of this chaff good naturedly, and expects to survive* his next accident. PAT CROWE A POLITICAL ISSUE IN CITY OF OMAHA Police. Fear to Attempt His Arrest and Citizens Submit to His "Touch'y Than Fight Himr Rather turned his attention to the conductor for a moment. In that moment the drunken man suddenly became sober and with a leap, disappeared thru a window. The car was stopped, but the fated irisoner had disappeared. Crowe re the experience to some of his Omaha friends that same night. Why don't the Omaha police catch Crowe! For several reasons. One of these is that the whole crowd are afraid as death of him. It is well known that Crowe will shoot at the least provoca tion. He has demonstrated that often. The Omaha police know that when Crowe is arrested, somebody will get hurt. And they steer clear of him. And again, he is scarcely known, ex cept to his friends. Qfowe was smart enough never to have a photograph made after he began his career as a "bad" man. Practically, he is un known, despite the fact that more col umns of newspaper space have been de voted to him than to any other crook -of. the times. Doesn't Look the Part. Crowe doesn't look like a crook. He is an ordinary looking manjust like a solid business man. He dresses well, but not flashy. His nerve is, or was, something superb, an4 to be admired. Wanted, as he Is, and hunted all over the country, Crowe will walk down the principal streets of Omaha, go into any bank or store or hotel in the city, stop and chat with a policeman^ take an automobile ride and otherwise follow out his own desires. He was asked by a friend some time ago: "Are you not afraid of being recog nized?" I don'.t care. I'd just as soon shoot my way clear as not," he replied, pull ing two big guns from his pockets. But the five vears of hunting and be ing hunted is showing on the kidnaper. "Crowe is on the verge of a col lapse and is the most dangerous man in the country/' remarked a maa who is known as his friend. "When sober, he is now an arrant coward and wouldn't fight anyone. But get a few drinks in him and he is as dangerous as a tiger. It takes whisky to oring back his nerve. Any policeman who attempts to capture Crowe, sober, will have no trouble. But the one who^ ap proaches him when he has a few drinks ahead, holds his life in his -hands." l M.HWMlwrtttlMMt.M..MMM.MMMMM MlWMIMWMMlWWWMtMllll BlWWWMWMtlHtW t' SENATOR ALLISON'S CAUTION.

Washington, Sept. 16-Heavy loss to the government thru fluctuating prices paid for supplies by the various ex ecutive departments was disclosed* yes terday when the Keep commission nad a meeting with all of its members pres ent. The commissioners examined some figures that have been prepared at their order, showing the ^prices paid in differ ent government departments for sup plies. Comparisons of prices paid for* sup plies in different departments show that some cases there is a difference of 100 per cent. All buy undei the same method, letting the contract to the low est and best oidder. Yet despite this the difference of 10 to 100 per cent,is not infrequent. It is the plan of the commission to recommend that supplies be standard ized, so far as possible, and that a central purchasing office buy them for all departments. This will assure the best possible prices for'all the depart ments. It is found by the figures furnished the commission that the government printing office pays $4.32 per dozen for a specified kind of ink, while the'post offiee department pays $1.34 for a dozen bottles of the same ink. The oth er departments pay prices ranging be tween these extremes. There are 230 kinds of pens- pur- chased. The\ prices range from 20 to 79 cents per gross for exactly the same pe^. 13 BATTLESHIPS WILL JOIN NAVY America's Sea Force to Be In creased by Thirty-two New Vessels. New York Sun Special Servioe.

OELRIOHS WINS FIGHT 1 After Long Struggle She Reduces Hex Weight to Ideal Figure. ,Tl^ Philadelphia Ledger. Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, one of the* leaders of the Newport set, has finally conquered in the five-years' war she!* has waa&ed against increasing avoirdu-* pois. She now tips the beam at 130 pounds, a figure her friends regard as ideal, and her form is as graceful and' almost as slender as wheS she was4 Miss Theresa Fair. She is envied byu all women who have made the sarnes fight with less success, for when Mrs. Oelrichs began the endeavor to reduce her weight she had reached the 175 mark, and was afraid that she would become even stouter. /Exercise and diet were the means employed to attain the triumph finally recorded, and walks of several milesS are now not uncommon in the daily life of Mrs. Oelrichs. At first a walk* of a half mile was wearisome, but now.1 her pedestrian feats include strolls, along Fifth avenue that last two hours^. and equally prolonged journeys afoot'* in the neighborhood Df Newport. Shefe eats very sparingly and her diet con-' 1| sists chiefly of fish, simply prepared, and plums. She drinks very little water or champagne, both of which are) flesh producers. When she finds her weight raining, even by a fraction of a pound, she eliminates some of her meals, Bcant tho they are. Before finding the solution of her problem Mrs. Oelrichs tried many other experiments which failed. The flrrt' was the all-meat cure, a diet consist-^ ing solely of meats, but this, while it"| has helped others, did not prove ef ficient in her case. A visit to Bad Nauheim, with its steaming baths, was of temporary aid, but the few poun she lost there were soon regaine^"" Thyroid and pokeberries were equaliV unproductive of realized hopes. Nothing seemed to be helpful except the ex ercise and diet plan, and it "was under taken with pluck and persistence, whicKl Mrs. Oelrichs and scores of her adj. mirers believe have been amply re warded. Mr. Jetley's childhood was a strenu ous onte. In his infancy the Sioux In dians were almost constantly on thf warpath, by reason of the civil war, and massacres were frequent in Dakota, western Iowa and Minnesota. Once Mr. Jetley's parents, with the other settlers around, were compelled to flei for safety to Council Bluffs, Iowa, Wear ly 200 miles away.
