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

wrought iron and steel manufactures
thereof, such as boilers, tols sewing
machines, agricultural implements,

Who Counts His Hairbreadth Escapes,
Almost by the Score.

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-

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

HOW STORMS ABE MADE.
Philadelphia Ledger..
Dr. W. J. 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.

uneven surface Q$ the earthy a prjecipi

Struck %y Lightning Three Times and Mangled by Prema

ing the trade of a miner at the alge pf

him to forsake them, and he commenced
upon his series of accidents above

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.

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."

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

fact was developed that the company

upon the bonds held by the company^ ^Jjj
The Mutual Life has preferred absolute

MRS. 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
