THIEVES IN CHICAGO SHOW
WHITE FEATHER
300-Pound Grocer Hurls Bologna Sau
sage at Two Masked Intruders,
and Both Run Precipitous,
ly and Escape
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.—Thieves showed
the white feather ia two instances last
night when resisted by intended vic
tims, and fled.
In one place a. woman threw her arms
around a burglar s neck and held him.
co tightly that he was obliged to throw
off his coat in order to escape.
In another instance two armed rob
bers were put to flight by a. string of
bologna sausage hurled Into their faces.
Mrs. Fred Brona saw a burglar climb
ing out through the basement window
of her home. She caught him by the
legs and pulled him back into the base
ment. Then she threw her arms about
his neck and screamed for help. The
thief struck at her and struggled, but
■was unable to free himself. He finally
succeeded in dragging his arms from
the sleeves of his cuat and left Mrs.
lirona holding the garment as he
jumped through the window.
Two robbers, one armed with a pistol
and the other with a billy, und both
-with blackened faces, entered the pro
eery of Herman Barnickow, 2Zi2 Bel
mont avenue, last night.
"We want your money," said the rob
ber with the revolver.
Barnickow seized a string of sausages
and threw them, striking the robber
equarely in the face.
The suddenness of the attack sur
prised the intruders, who lied, with
IBarnickow In hot pursuit. Barnickow
■who weighs nearly 200 pounds, chased
the men for nearly two blocks, but they
outran him and escaped.
WOMAN TO BE BOSS
OF DENVER! WOW!
At Banquet from Which All Men Are
Barred Mayoralty Campaign
for 1912 Is Planned
DENVER, Feb. 24.— woman mayor
lor Denver!
This Is the gossip following a banquet
of prominent Denver women, to which
no men were admitted.
The election Is two years oft, but it
is whispered that the advisability of
having a woman candidate in the
field— perhaps two of them—was not
only discussed, but was advocated with
enthusiasm.
It Is asserted that more women than
men voted In the last municipal elec
tion In Denver, also that women of
ficials who have held offices in Colo
rado have proved efficient. One of
these, Miss Katherlne I* Craig, former
state superintendent of public Instruc
tion, Is mentioned as a most probable
nominee by the Republicans.
The gossips have already settled It
that Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker will be
the Democratic nominee for mayor.
Mrs. Dewey C. Bailey is recognized
as one of the most Influential Repub
lican women of Colorado. But an ob
stacle appeared in the way of her pos
sibility as a candidate for mayor, as it
is said the Republicans are likely to
name Mr. Bailey, her husband, for
mayor.
CONNERS FORCED BY
MURPHY TO GIVE IN
AGREES TO RESIGN CHAIRMAN
SHIP IN APRIL
Repudiates Harsh Words Said Con.
cerning Tammany's Chief and
Alleged Auctioning of the
Judgeships in New York
ALBANY, N. V., Feb. U— William J.
Conners made good his prediction that
he would still be chairman of the Dem
ocratic state committee after its meet-
ing today.
In saving his political scalp, how
ever, he lost most of his hair.
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany chief
tain, whose complete mastery of the
situation was realized by no one better
than by Conners himself, granted the
Buffalo leader a brief political reprieve
In the interest of party harmony, after
Conners had agreed to resign in April
and repudiate his recent haish state
ments concerning Mr, Murphy and the
alleged auctioning of judgeships in New
York, which, he declared, was the re
sult of his "Infirmities of temper" and
wire unjustified in fact. *
Chairman Conners was re-elected for
a two-year term on April 17, 190 S. He
announced today "that under no con
ceivable circumstance would he be a
candidate for re-election."
"The office of chairman," he said, "is
a thankless and difficult one, anyway,"
and he desired to give more time and
attention to his family and to his busi
ness than he had been able to do -
he accepted the responsibilities of lead
ership four years ago.
He promised, however, to work hard
to uphold the hands of his successor
and to aid in restoring the Democratic
party to power.
Today's meeting lasted less than fif
teen minuu-s. After the compromise,
which was arranged at a personal con
ference between Conners and Murphy,
all fear of a clash at the meeting van
ished.
Resolutions -were adopted and the
meeting adjourned. The first resolu
tion was in favor of a federal income
tax. The second placed before the com
mittee favored the direct primary bill
introduced by Senator Urady and As
semblyman p'risbie. The third declared
the- Republicans won the last national
election upon the platform pledge to
revise the tariff downward, but that in
spite of that pledge "the recent revis
ion has in no way removed from the
shoulders of the great mass of the peo
ple the great burden of indirect taxa
tion."

BAILEY SCORES
POSTAL SAVINGS
TEXAS SENATOR RIDICULES
BANK MEASURE
PEOPLE CAN TAKE CARE OF OWN
MONEY, IS ARGUED
Senate Sets March 3 as Date for Vote
on Question —Members Are
Pleased by Prospect of
Disposition
[Associated Press]
"WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.—Decided
progress was made in the senate to
day toward the disposition of the
postal savings bank bill. In addition
to a striking speech by Senator Bailey
of Texas and an amendment by Ben
ator Burton, which is offered as a
compromise of the various differ
on the question of disposal of the funds
arising from the postal deposits. Sen
ator Carter succeeded in getting March
3 tixed for a vote on the bill.
There was no objection to naming B
day and senators appeared pleased
that the time had boon fixed for the
Mnal disposition of the measure.
Benator Carter made his request im
mediately after the close of Senator
j Bailey's speech. The time was well
I selected, for the reason that many
j senators have been waiting to hear
! from the Texas senator before agreeing
I to any time for the disposal .if the bill,
j After Mr. Bailey had concluded many
expressed the opinion lie had thrown
much light on constitutional questions
involved in the subject. He had a large
audience both on the floor and in the
galleries, and his speech was received
with general favor.
Mr. Owen gave notice he would speak
tomorrow on his proposed amendment
substituting a Government guaranty of
bank deposits for the suggested postal
bunks.
Discusses Constitutional Points
Mr. Bailey discussed the different
I clauses of the constitution under which
| the savings hill had found support. Be
ginning -with tin- commerce clause he
declared it to be a grotesque absurdity
to say that such an institution as a
postal savings hank system could be
established under it.
Referring to the contention that the
bill was justified under the borrowing
clause of the constitution, he asked its
advocates whether the real purpose of
the measure was that of borrowing
money. If it were, then it was con
| stitutional, but, conceiving the object
I of this clause to be that of enabling
the government to perform its func
tions in time of emergency, lin con
tended that this measure would not
: justify the contention made under this
clause. .
He said he would not affront the m
■ telllgence of his own colleagues or
I discredit his own candor by saying
he believed anyone would vote for the
I bill with the idea it was Intended to
I enable the government to raise money
I under the borrowing provision.
He also entered on extended argu
! inputs to prove the measure was not
! justllied, either under the postoffice
clause or the money-coining clause of
the constitution.
Proposed Measure Business One
If customs houses were as numer
ous as postoffices, said Senator Bailey,
they would have been apt to be chosen
for this business. The business pro
posed was a purely fiscal operation,
he declared, and made no pretense of
any connections with the operations
of "the postal service. He declared the
private citizen had a right to do with
money as he pleased, as he had a right
to do with other property.
"If you can bring money from its
hiding place in one way you can in
another way," he said. "You have
just as much power to compel the
citizen to supply money by threaten
ing him with punishment as you have
to tempt him by guaranteeing him a
profit on it. If you can employ a pre
mium you can employ a penalty. You
have no more right to prescribe what
a citizen shall do with his money than
you have to say what he shall do with
his land."
Encourages Thrift
He then attempted to show the pur
pose of the bill was to encourage
economy and thrift. He quoted the
message of President Roosevelt of
1907 in support of this contention, en
tering on an argument to show this
was not part of the duty of the gov
ernment, but on the other hand that
It was an unwarranted obtrusion of
the government into the affairs of
citizens.
lii this connection he referred to the
future possibility of bank legislation,
and said this intrusion of the govern
ment into affairs of the people soon
would be followed by the intrusion of
private eorporattona into the affairs of
the government.
Entering then on a discussion of the
abstract rights of citizenship Mr.
Bailey declared it was libelous to say
people could not take care of their
own money, and declared that only
through struggle and suffering could
a strong people be developed. He
..intended that people must learn to
take the chances and act on their own
responsibility in business affair 3.

Tariff Laws Have Made the United
States Dear Market, Is Decla.
ration —Foreigners
Will Not Buy
[Associated Tress]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Vigorously
opposing ship subsidies, Representative
Helm of Kentucky, In a speech in the
house today, declared the United
States government was being con
verted into a gigantic pawnbrokers'
shop, for the purpose of. extending
trading.
He insisted subsidies had not built
up the maritime Interests of. the
United States.
"I do not subscribe to the policy that
would convert this government into a
gigantic pawnbroker's shop to acquire
trade," declared Mr. Helm. "I do not
think we are materially improving our
trade relations with Central and South
America by attempting to put men
selected at Washington in control of
the governments of certain of these
countries. in my opinion it will require
something more than subsidies to
overcome the adverse feeling engen
dered by our present policy In that
zone of the western hemisphere, which
should be our best market.
Lauds Root Policy
"I am apprehensive that the good ef
fect of former Secretary Root's visit
to the Central and South American re
publics, looking to more cordial rela
tionships with these governments, has
been largely discounted by our more
recent domineering policy there. I fear
some blunders and mistakes have been
made. That quarter of the elobe is on
the eve of great development, from
which we are in position to reap some
of the benefits, and I surely believe
that the Root policy will yield us bet
ter returns than the coercive policy."
Tariff laws. Mr. Helm declared, had
made the United States a dear market.
Foreigner Won't Buy
"It is as unreasonable," he added,
"for us to c/cpect the foreigner to pur
chase in a protected market where the
seller insists on profits that arise by
operation of laws, as it is to expect,
the individual to do his shopping at
the highest price in the highest-priced
store In any given locality.
•The report of the commissioner of
navigation shows that we have three
subsidized lines on the Caribbean
route and the full, complete and final
answer to all arguments In support of
subsidy as a trade producer is that,
notwithstanding these subsidized lines,
our trade in that sphere has decreased
Instead of Increased."

U. S. Marshal of Alaska Says He

SFATTLE, Feb. 24.—United States
Marshal H. X, Love of Alaska arrived
here today on his way to Washington
to testify before the Ballingrer-Pinehot
committee. Mr. Ix>ve while special
•iK-ent of the land office had much to do
with the Cunningham coal claims. He
said today:
"All ni'-' testimony respecting the
Cunningham group of claims will be
in favor of the secretary of the in
terior. If any one is responsible- for
the- admission of these entries it is
myself, for I am the man who recom
mended the entries to Ballinger. I wa«
special agent of the land office when
the entries came up for filing in the
lir.-t three months of 1907."
SPECULATORS SAID TO OBJECT
TO RAILROAD SECURITIES BILL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—"The spec
ulators, the men who want to make
real money out of wind and water, are
the only people objecting to the pro
visions of the administration bill male
ins railroad securities of value."
This was the Ktatement today of
Representative Townsend of Michi
gan, author of the administration rail
road measure which bears his name,
in discussing the charse that there
was a "joker" in the bill which would
enable the big- railroads to float their
stocks and bonds and prevent the little
ones from doing so.
"If there is a joker there," he con
tinued, "I do not know it and you will
have to convince me of its presence.
The proposition narrows Itself down
finally to this:
■'You either want to regulate rail
roads or you do not.
"If you regulate them, the first thing
to do is to make the paper they Issue
represent some tangible value, so that
Investors may know what they are
buying. If you don't regulate, why
let them continue as they have In the
past and issue just as' many millions
of "stock based on hot air and prospects
as they think they can sell."

vatlon Bills Are In Line with
Interior Department's
Recommendations
[Associated Press 1
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.— graphic
picture of Alaska, with her millions in
gold lying beneath hundreds of feet of
frozen earth, was drawn by Delegate
James Wickersham today In a state
ment before the house committee; on
territories In support of a bill for the
revision of the Alaskan mining laws.
He told of the luck of the pioneer
prospector and of his pathetic failures;
the crudeness and Inadequacy of the
mining laws, and Of resort to rifle, pis
tol and lynch law.
"There is not a foot of the mining
territory," said Mr. Wickersham, "that
Is not now open to litigation. Our
claim to every acre of mining ground
there Is held by a rope of sand.
"Alaska always has paid her way.
She never has asked anything of Uncle
Sam. Last year she sent to him $20,
--000.000 In virgin gold and her trade
with the United States was worth
$60,000,000."
Describing' the physical features of
Alaskan mining, Mr. Wickersham told
how the miners, frequently single
handed, in the midst of an unexplored
wilderness far from civilization, dug
with pick and shovel through 300 feet
of frozen earth to bedrock in search
of gold.
In regard to bills introduced yester
day by Senator Revoridge of Indiana
for conservation of Alaskan coal lands,
Secretary Balllnger siia thai the sen
ator's suggestions were not new. but
were in line with recommendations
previously made by the interior de
partment.
All unappropriated coal lands in
Alaska, he said, were withdrawn from
location and entry on November 12,
I!W6. and still remain withdrawn. He
called attention to the fact that in his
annual report to the president he sug
gested the necessity of new legislation
relating to coal lands in the states
and t"rritories "as well as Alaska,"
recommended laws/ separating the
right to mine from the title to the soil,
and the leasing: of coal deposits in the
land subject to such conditions as
would control the minimum output
and conserve the deposits as a public
utility.
DEMOCRATS WOULD HOLD
TRUSTS FOR HIGH PRICES
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The dispo
sition today of the Democratic mem
bers of tho select senate committee,
appointed to investigate the high cost
of living-, to hold the trusts responsible
for advances In prices and to hold the
Republican party responsible for the
trusts Indicates that the proceedings
may become stormy before they have
progressed far.
Secretary Wilson and Labor Commis
sioner Neill were called before tho
committee today to make statements
of the information that might be ex
pected from them. Chairman Lodge
attempted to draw out the witnesses
along the line indicated, but Senators
Simmons and Clarke (Arkansas), the
minority members, thought it was a
good time to examine them about
trusts and their, bearing upon the cost
of necessities of life.
Senators Lodge, Smoot and McCum
ber, Republicans, said those questions
could wait until the government offi
cials had given an outline of data in
the departments.
Some feeling was displayed, but the
Democrats were undaunted. Senator
Lodge, however, says that such a
course will not be permitted and inas
much as the Investigation is behind
closed doors, it is clear that the Re
publicans have the better of the argu
ment.
SAYS UNJUST LAWS PREVENT
AMERICANS BECOMING SEAMEN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—"Ameri
cans quit going to sea forty years ago,
when they failed to get any laws that
would insure them decent employment,"
declared Andrew Furuseth of San
Francisco, president of the Interna
tional Seamen's union, before a house
committee today.
"The laws of the country governing
the employment of seamen are all out
of date," he said. "The American law
regarding the arresting of fugitive sea
men was passed two years before the
fugitive slave law, and the slave law
was based upon it. But when the fugi
tive slave law was repealed the sea
men's law was left on the statute
books."
Asked why the existing steamship
companies were asking for a govern
ment subsidy when the existing laws
were so in their favor, Mr. Furuseth
answered: .
"I don't know. America is now the
fourth maritime nation in the world."
PEARY MAY HAVE TO PROVE
DISCOVERY OF NORTH POLE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Peary may
be asked to submit his proofs that he
reached the north pole to a board com
posed of Rear Admiral Melville, Rear
\dmiral Schley and Gen. Greely, all
retired. The proposition of rewarding
Mr Peary was fully discussed by a
house subcommittee today, but no defi
nite action was taken.
• Rear Admiral Holliday denied that
Peary was responsible for certain un
paid bills in connection with the con
struction of the ship Roosevelt. He
said the Peary Arctic club paid the
contract price for the ship, but had de
clined to pay additional charges of the
shipbuilding firm, which built the ship
at a loss. _
SPRECKELS AIDS EXPOSITION

GOVERNMENT WINS
DECISIVE VICTORY
Insurgents Repulsed, Retire in Disor
der, Abandoning Arms and
Their Ammunition
Stores
MANAGUA, Feb. 24—Capt. Godfrey
Fowler, who commanded General
Chamorro's artillery, is reported to
have been wounded in Tuesday's bat
tle near Tlpitapa. Fowler is an Amer
ican and formerly was a member of the
Thirty-third infantry, U. S. A.
The government's victory appears to
have been complete. The Insurgents
thrice charged at a bridge over the
Tltitapa, hurling their infantry against
General Aguilar's battery of three
Maxim guns with the fury of despair,
but were unable to force a passage of
the river, and retired in disorder,
abandoning 600 rifles, 15,000 cartridges
and their baggage, and leaving their
wounded on the field. The whereabouts
of General Chamorro is not known
here. The celebration over the. govern
ment victory continues here. The
story of the fighting was told in a dis
patch from General Rivas, who was in
command of the troops that attacked
the insurgents. According to Rivas,
the battle began early Tuesday, the
government forces assuming the of
fensive by an attack on Tisma, which
had been occupied by the insurgents,
who had mounted two Maxim guns.
These guns, commanded by Captain
Fowler, did great execution among
the loyal troops, and for seven hours
General Chamorro had the advantage.
At on opportune moment Rivas was
reinforced by the men under Chavarria.
Soon after General Vasquez and Gen
eral Aguilar came to the support of the
government lines. Aguilar brought ar
tillery and poured a merciless fire into
the ranks of the insurgent infantry.
At sundown the rebels withdrew to
ward Tlpitapa, leaving their dead on
the field. The fighting was the most
severe of the war thus far, 400 men
being killed or wounded.
During the night Chamorro reorgan
ized his forces and attempted to cap
ture the trenches occupied by General
Ramirez at Tipitapa. The fighting
lasted four hours. When the insurgents
were driven back they retired in the
direction at Saltillo, and it is thought
thoy will join the division under Gen
eral Mona.
BLUEFIELDS JUPILANT
OVER ESTRADA VICTORY
m.rTFIELDS, Nicaragua, Feb. 24.—
"If BUiefleldl was Jubilant last night it
had a paroxysm of delight today, when
■ dispatch from Managua, reporting
th-it President Madriz had i|iiit the
capita] and fled to LiBOB, and that
General Chamorro and Gonerai Es-
trada were but a few hours apart and
in constant communication near Tip
itapa.
Following the outburst of joy dis
cussion turned today on the better
route for General Juan Estrada's tri
umphal trip to Managua.
When the latest news was received
the band paraded tho streets and sere
naded U. S. Consul Moffatt in front
of his residence. The Estrada men
hugged each other and laughed hys
terically.
As usual the eoole.r heads who had
often been misled, demanded further
confirmation of the optimisitic reports
concerning recent developments.
Late advices indicate that General
Vasquez's disorderly retreat was of
but brief duration and that he was
able to muster sufficient force to flra
a i. w more artillery shots late yes
terday. '
General Mena Is still at San Vicente.
His forces, with General Matuty's
now number, according to official re
ports SOO, of which 600 will proceed
cautlonsly around the hills, securing
a position in the rear of San Vicente.
REPORT OF VICTORY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Senor Luis
Corea, the Madriz representative here,
has received news of the government
victory iir the last battle in Nicaragua
and this has been communicated to the
state department, with copies of tho
cablegram so there can be no question
as to the authenticity of the dis
patches. Corea is positive the govern
ment forces have won and expressed
confidence that the report of the cap
ture of Granada was incorrect. The
minister attributes the contrary In
formation coming from insurgent
headquarters to the lack of communi
cation.
