Speeches LOOMIS REAPPEARS Mystery of American Emissary Is Removed LONDON, June 25.—The Morning Leader's Paris correspondent says that the mystery concerning Kent J. Loom is, brother of the American assistant secretary of state, has been cleared up. "Mr. Loomis," the dispatch says, "appeared in Paris today (Friday) and left this evening on his way to North east Africa;- accompanied by Mr. Cum mins, the son of a well known Ameri can journalist." Mr. Loomis was proceeding to Abys sinia to deliver to Emperor Menelik the recently signed commercial treaty between the United States and Abys sinia. The French government had been asked to facilitate the journey of Mr. Loomis and his caravan through French Somaliland to the frontiers of Abyssinia. It was afterward arranged with William H. Ellis, who accompanied Mr. Loomis from New York, to proceed to Abyssinia with the treaty, which was with the baggage of Mr. Loomis and was brought to Paris from Cherbourg. LONDON, June 25.—A1l the morning newspapers, with the exception of the the, Morning- Leader, treat the disap pearance of Kent J. Loomis as a seri ous sensation. None of the special dispatches from Paris confirm the dis patch sent by the Leader correspond ent. So far as London is concerned, the disappearance of Mr. Loomis con tinues to be shrouded in the deepest mystery. The London manager of the North German Lloyd line is quoted as saying that the matter has become a most serious one, as every effort to lo cate Mr. Loomis has failed. FORMER ST.

PERDICARIS IS BACK He and Variey Reach Tangier Badly Thinned Special Cable to The Globe TANGIER, June With the re lease of Perdicaris and Varley comes the beginning of the most serious crisis Morocco has ever experienced. To morrow the American and British min isters, on behalf of their respective governments, will - demand the imme diate capture and punishment of Rai suli. the brigand chief. Both governments have all along re jected any suggestion that they guar antee immunity to him. Not only Rai suli. but the Moroccan government, has desired this, the latter foreseeing that the sultan would be placed in an awk ward position if the brigand's punish ment were demanded at his hands. Should the Fez government refuse the demand of America I and Great Britain it will be an affront to those powers, and the outcome is obvious. - TANGIER, June 25, 12:55 a. m.— Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley, who were captured by the bandit Raisuli, have just arrived here. Perdicaris is very much fatigued after his long ride, but says he is glad to get back. He is greatly pleased with the reception ac corded him by the townsmen who met him in great numbers. Perdicaris suffered many hardships while in the hands of Raisuli, although he says he does not think that these were the fault of the bandit chief, and that he had every comfort possible un der the circumstances. Varley appears to be as cheerful and bright as if he ; had just returned from a picnic. Both men are much thinner, especially Perdicaris, who has aged considerably. He was received at his town" house by the authorities, the ad mirals of the fleets and numerous per sonal friends. ; His * Moorish servants made a great demonstration of joy, kissing their master's hands and clothes. Much credit is due to the two shereefs of Wazan, Mulai All and Mulai Hamet, who have devoted much time to the negotiations. Mulai AH remained at Raisuli's camp continuously, thus in suring the safety of the lives of the captives, while. Mulai Hamet traveled back and forth between Tangier and Benairos. The exchange of the pris oners took place at the camp of Zelala, governor of the Benim Sara tribe. Suicide Claims High Relationship HOUSTON, Tex., June 24. — F. R.

SHOOTS AND DROPS ELEVEN STORIES Detroit Man Wounds Young Woman and Plunges to His Own Death DETROIT, Mich., June 24.—Charles A.* Swayse,/ employed' by a life insur ance company and former assistant su perintendent of the Detroit house of correction, today shot Miss Effie Al vord twice While the couple _. were in a private office in the company's suite on the eleventh floor of the Chamber of Commerce building and then jumped from the window himself. He died as he was carried into the lobby of the building. Miss Alvord was shot in the neck and wrist, but is not fatally hurt. Miss Alvord drove up to the Cham ber of Commerce in an automobile, ac companied by a man. She went to the eleventh floor, and, entering the office of the life insurance company, asked to have a private interview with Mr. Swayse. She was shown into a small private office, where Swayse joined her, shutting and locking the door. In a few moments the other persons in the office heard a struggle, then screams which were followed by pistol shots. Manager McCall, of the agency, rushed against the door of the private room and broke it open. Miss Alvord was prostrate on the floor, her hair dis heveled, her waist torn and blood pour ing from the Wounds In her neck and wrist. Through the open window Mr. McCall could see Swayse's hands clutching the window ledge. They were in view for only a moment. Then Swayse let go and his body went whirl ing down through the air. It hit sev eral wires and turned over twice, strik ing on the face and chest. A bullet wound in his nose showed that he had also shot himself before taking the plunge. Tries to Throw Girl Out Miss Alvord is an employe "of a sew ing machine company, but worked at the house of correction when Swayse was assistant superintendent there. Her. home: is said to be at Saginaw, Mich. Occupants-of a building across the street from the Chamber :of Com merce say that i they saw Swayse; at tempt to throw Miss Alvord but of the window. Her head and shoulders were across the ledge and she was fighting desperately. Then the couple disap peared from the window and the shots rang out, followed by Swayse's plunge. The man with whom Miss Alvord drove up to the building was J. B. Ter ry, an employe of the same sewing machine company that employed Miss Alvord. At "woman's boarding house it was stated that Miss Alvord and Terry had been married for several months. On the contrary, Miss Alvord sent word to the reporters, through the physician who dressed her wounds at the hospital, that she was not married to Terry, but was engaged to him. Yes terday was the young woman's twenty eighth birthday, and she. told the phy sician that Swayse sent her a telephone message that he was going to shoot her as a birthday present. She said she went to Swayse's office today to break with him. He had been threatening, she said, to write to the mother of her sweetheart and tell her that Miss Al vord was not the kind of a girl her son should marry. She says that she went to the office today to tell him to «go ahead with his letter if he pleased to do so and then finally break with him. Supt. McDonnell, of the house of cor rection, states that it was the inti macy between Swayse and Miss Alvord that caused him to discharge them both. Intimacy, he said, gradually grew while they were fellow employes at the institution, and while Miss Alvord was visiting Swayse's home frequently as a friend of his wife's. Probably Not a Suicide It is not certain that Swayse delib erately jumped from the eleventh story window. It is thought by many that when he heard the door of the private office being broken in he crawl ed out on the window ledge and en deavored to hang by his hands in a mad attempt to escape death. Marks in the dust on the window ledge show where his fingers gradually dragged across the ledge until his hold was lost. This is taken to indicate that he did not intend to jump. Swayse was fifty three years old and leaves a widow and two children. Continued on Second Page tFjie Suntdaf &kbe P 3um 26 Tutui/a, America's Dominion in Southern Seas By Rev.

' *yy Be Repaired Under Super vision of Town Boards The board of county commissioners will no longer have supervision over road repairs in the country districts outside of the city, according to an im portant' ruling made by County Attor ney Kane yesterday. Mr. Kane has de cided that all of this Work, even when paid for by the county, shall be done under the direct supervision of the town boards in the townships in which the, repairs are being made, and the country members of the board ill no longer have the 'supervision of the road and bridge fund as has been the custom in past years. y-The ruling made by County Attor ney Kane,' after a thorough search of all laws bearing upon the subject, is considered a most important one and is looked upon to solve the problem of extravagant expenditure of this fund by members of the board who have been in the habit of giving the work out to favored ones in their respective districts. The ruling was made at yesterday's meeting of the board and came; as - a blow to the commissioners, especially those from, the country dis tricts, who were totally unprepared for any such opinion. y *' The board was too surprised to take any action on the matter yesterday, but. it was . stated- after the meeting that a resolution would be passed on Monday, providing for the work to be done along the lines; as drawn by the county attorney. Mr. Kane says he can back up his opinion with laws suf ficient to compel the board to follow his instructions in this class of work. Will Effect Radical Change I The new ruling made by Mr. Kane is expected to result in a radical change in the system of road work in Ram sey county. Its magnitude can be bet ter appreciated when it is known that for years past the entire expenditure of the : road and bridge fund, amount ing to from $25,000 to $35,000 per year, has been under the direct and prac tically personal supervision of the two members of the board from the -coun try districts. The entire board makes the appropriations, but the work, aside from that let by contract, is perform ed under the supervision of the coun try members, and It has long been rcharged" that this system has been an expensive one to the county, since the country members were in* the habit of giving out the work personal friends and to those who had stood by them in the campaign. ? *y' : Under the new ruling there wilL be nothing for the board to do but to vote the appropriations, and the town boards will look after the work. The new system is expected to result in. fewer appropriations and better work. . County Attorney Kane's ruling pro vides that where it is found necessary to make repairs on a piece of country road, and where the cost is less than $300, it shall be the duty of the com missioners to make the appropriation, after which the auditor will draw a warrant for the amount, payable to the town treasurer of the township in which the work is to be done, and the money will be expended under the su pervision of this town board. County Solons Can't Hire the Men The township treasurer is required to give a bond to insure the work.being "properly performed, but the county board will have nothing to say regard ing the manner in which the work shall be done, nor ] shall the members have anything to say as to who shall do the work.??. . y ;?. ■ ; ■?y * "I believe it will result in better roads and an expenditure of much less money,", said Mr. Kane yesterday. "If the commissioners are not permitted to supervise the work and employ the workmen, they will be more careful in making; appropriations, and the town boards, working under a bond and on roads in which, they are personally in terested, are sure to do better work." County Attorney Kane says this sys tem will ;be followed in every instance where the cost of the repairs is less than $300, and where the cost exceeds this amount, it will be necessary to let a contract and receive bids for the job. It will take the work out of the hands of the county board almost entirely. The Yeggman and His Thievish Trade William A.
