Elect of Connecticut
SERVED WITH SUBPOENA
Called on to Answer the Allegation of
Distributing Money for Campaign
Purposes Through Saloonkeepers
and Others in Violation of the Cor
rupt Practices A$t Recently Enacted
in That State.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 11.—Repre
sentative George W. Lilley, governor
elect of Connecticut, has been served
with a subpoena, to answer the com
plaint that in the recent ante-election
campaign he himself, or through a
financial agent, violated the corrupt
practices act passed by the general
assembly four years ago. The com
plaint, which is made by George L.
Fox of this city, who drafted the cor
rupt, practices law, enumerates alleged
acts of Mr. Lilley or his agent, Colo
Bel I. M. Ullman, in distributing
money for campaign purposes through
certain saloonkeepers in Waterbury
for the purpose of treating electors on
the day of election and of placing cer
tain sums with certain individuals in'

ifteral clubs for "treating" pWliosefe.
The complaint further gJleges that
the sworn statement of Air. Lilley's
expenses do not set forth the expen
ditures alleged as being illegal and
that there were other acts by either
Mr. Lilley or Colonel Ullman which
were contrary to law.

GREAT NORTHERN
TRAIN HELD UP
Action o! Fireman Prevents Loot
ing of Express Car.
Spokane, Wash., Dec. 11,—Three
men held up westbound Great North
ern train No. 4 a mile and a half east
of Hillyard, this state, robbed the
mail car and made their escape. Only
the presence of mind of W. Perrin
the fireman, prevented the looting ol
the express car, which carried a large
amount of money, including $20,000
consigned from a Spokane bank to a
Montana town.
The train had slowed down In the
yard-at Hillyard when three men, all
armed with revolvers, crawled over
the tender and, covering the engineer
and fireman, ordered the train to be
brought to a stop a little over a mile
from the station. The enginemen
obeyed and when the train had come
to a standstill the bandits forced the
engineer and fireman to leave the
cab. While two of the robbers stood
guard over the engineer the other
took Fireman Perrin back to uncouple
the mail and express cars from the
rest of the train.
In the darkness the bandit failed to
note that the first car was the mail,
•while the second was the baggage,
and that the express car, which con
tained the desired booty, was third in
the train. Perrin saw his mistake and,
quickly taking advantage of it, in
spite of the menacing revolver held
close to his head, cut off the mail anil
baggage cars, leaving the express car
attached to the dead train.
The robbers then left the engineer
and fireman with the train and board
ed the locomotive and themselves ran
it several miles east, where they
brought it to a stop, rifled the mail
car, then again boarded the engine,
uncoupling it from the cars, and pro
ceeded three miles to Mead. There a
rig was awaiting them and they made
their escape.

Denver, Dec. 11.—Secretary B. W.

"President Roosevelt as a sportsman

TRAIN OiTOilEO BUT
NO DEATHS RESULT
Wreck on Mem
The train struck a broken rail. The
engine got over safely, but the ten del
went off the track, followed by the
baggatre and inall car. Then the
coupling broke and the three daj
coaches, two sleepers and the obser
vation car went down an embank
ment into a deep snowdrift and turned
over without breaking a coupling
The hard packed snow saved the train
from demolition. Half a dozen per
sons were quite severely Injured and
many others sustained cuts and
bruises.
A Seattle preacher was thrown out
of his berth in his nightshirt into thf
berth of three women, badly bruising
Uie latter. The lights were extin
guished at once, which added to the
confusion, but on the whole the pas
sengers were calm and crawled out
into the snow in all kinds of attire,
but soon returned to the cars and fin
ished dressing. A few ladies fainted,
but otherwise all behaved with great
bravery. Six persons were placed In
the hospital here and all the other
passengers are quartered at local ho
tels.

McKenzie. N. 0.
Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 11.—Tho
wreck of the westbound North Coast
limited at McKenzie, twenty miles
east of here, may be considered one
of the most lucky in the annals of
railroading, according to railroad
men. The fact that almost an entire
train, going at the rate of fifty miles
an hour, containing more than 20C
people, could turn over down a ten
foot embankment without killing any
body is marvelous.
Sergeant Patrick Clark and A.
Selsor, who were also seriousl%
wounded, are slightly improved ami
their ultimate recovery is expected.
James Sharp, the leader of the on
elaught against the police, has not
been captured in spite of the efforts
of the entire police force. A number
of clews have been followed up, but
no trace of the fugitive has been
found.
Pratt died later in the day, making
three deaths as a result of the street
battle.
TRIP DEEMED NECESSARY
Congressional Committee Likely fee
Visit Canal Zone.
Washington, Dec. 11.—President
Roosevelt has strongly urged mem
bers of the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce to visit
the Panama canal region and it prac
tically has been decided by Repre
sentatives Hepburn and Adamson,
representing the majority and minor
ity respectively, that It will be nec
essary to make the trip. The pres
ident, the secretary of war and canal
officials think the time has come for
congress to enact laws for the govern
ment of the canal zone, as many pe
culiar and embarrassing problems
have arisen on the Isthmus under ex
lsting methods. As soon as the com
mittee is ready to make the trip tht
