. New Yorkj Nov. 8. Nellie Corc
oran, Who for 2o days lay in a mys
terious state of coma in St Vincent's
Hospital, died early today. The
caee was an extremely puzzling one
to medical pratictioners throughout
t he city.
The girl fell into a state
consciousness October.. 18
me,
house where'she was employed as a
servant.,, At the hospital where
she was taken, heroic efforts to de
termine thecause of her condition
met with little success. Hundreds
of physicians examined her aod
every known method was tried $to
waken her but with little success.
Two or three times she was aroused
and spoke a few words, saying she
was sleepy and became unconsci
ous. Electricity was. applied, and in !
hard ' -doses, :' but : 7 ineffectively,
Neurologists and pathologists tried
to -diagnose the girl's conditionbut
could not. Specialists of. nearly
every medical following were called
in but they arrived at no conclu
sion as to -the cause of the como or
its proper diagnosis.
It was evert suggested that some
one had hypnotized her and efforts
to throw off such a spell were made
but to no purpose. Her temperature
increased rapidly. She became em
aciated and finally stopped breath
ing after having slept continuously
for 2o days.
- An autopsy will be performed by
one ofjthe city's leading physicians
in an, effort to Bolve the mysterious
cause of the girl's death.
Minnedosa, Manitoba, Nov. 8.
After one of the most exeitlag inci
dents in the history of the North
west, the Duokhbor fanatics have
been forcibly entrained and are now
guided by a large detachment of
mounted police, who are kept busy
preventing the Russians from throw
ing themselves from the car wind
ows. - A military special of lo coa
ches will leave here with the army
late tonight and unload it at York-
ton early tomorrow, when the moun
ted police will drive the Doukhbors
to their- northern villages, ending
the most remarkable pilgrimage in
Canadian history.
The Doukhbors arrived here lata
last night, en route i to -Winnipeg.
ibis morning they attempted to re
sume the journey with the. mercury
standing J o below zero. Government
officials held them with difficulty
in the -byroad s until the military
train arrived here this evening with
5oo mounted .police. ... The fanatics
were addressed by the officials and
told they would have to go home.
They cried: .
''No, no! We go to seek Jesus."
Seibroff, their leader, harangued
his followers, instructing them not
to resist. : ...'..",- ... . ..
Two hundred farmers who gath
ered at the train to see them, and
5oo other citizens surrounded them
and offered assistance. Fifty of the
fanatics got out and made a' rush
on the road to go east. Surrounded
by the crowd, thev resisted desper
ately, and the police grappled with
the leaders 'and carried them bodily
to the care. Seibroff had to be takenijury on the charge of committing
to tue cars in a wagon.
When the rink vomited forth the
fanatics, an indescribable scene fol
lowed. Farmers, townspeople and
police threw themselves on the
Doukhbors and dragged or carried
them to the station. The latter en
circled each other with' their arms
and seemed linked together- as by
bands of steel. " While thev strug
gled they gave voice to their weird
chant. : Some struggling so hard
that their 1 clothing was literally
torn from their backs, : For over an
hour the road to : the station- was
lined with ' people and : the excite
ment was intense. -' '.'--.- :.
The Doukhbors refused to strike.
but struggled blindly for freedom.
Their Raptors, with ,"blood warmed
by the struggle, ehouted and cursed
as the bloodless battle became more
exciting, and when ; the ,' cars were
reached a struggle ensuSH. Stalwart
police handed up the kicking Rus
sians, who were thrust into dark,
cold coaches like cattle, and the
foreigners threw themselves against
the windows and doors barred to
prevent their escape. . '.-;

500 escaped, and they are on the

Washington, Nov. ( 8.- There
will be anti-trust legislation, either,
V&' the coming short session of Con
gress or iu the long session of the
next Congress, as the. president is
fully convinced that . the present
laws can be greatly strengthened.
This view is entertained by Attorney-General
Knox, his legal advi
sor, and by other ; prominent , men,
who have given the subject consid
eration. 'M The regulation ' of great
capitalists combinatious is believed
to be feasible by legislation which
will be constitutional, and which
will hot destroy legitimate industry.
This view the . president has ex
pressed, to a. number - of Senators,
and he has found them iu accord
with: him: v "" " '''"'.

Salem,' Nov". 8. The" special
committee of the Direct Legislation
League, of this city, has just com
pleted a draft of a bill to be pre
sented before the next Legislaturefor
enactment.: The committee was ap
pointed last summer atamass meet
ing of the citizens, at which the
league was organized, and is com-
uosed of Senator E M Croisan, Col
onel E Hoftr, W T Rlater, R J
Hendricks and N J Judah. Tho
purpose" of the bill they have pre
paired is to provide for direct nom
inations of party candidates, so as
to give the members of a - party a
direct vote upon .'r candidates for
nominations upon party tickets.
Briefly stated, the bill provides
that all parties shall hold their
primary elections at the same time
and place, and that separate ballots
shall be provided for each party, so
that members of one party shall
not participate in the nomination
of the candidatas of another party.
the bill also providesj for opening
the. registration books aljer the
June eiection in Presidential elec
tion years, and requires a 30 day's
residence in the precinct to entitle
a man to vote at a primary election.
The porpo e of this provision is to
prevent "colonizing," Ly which
votes are kept in . precinct over
night in order to control the prima
ry election in that precinct.
- The direct nomination bill provi
des that a direct primary election
shsll be held in all the precincts
in the state on Monday, seven
weeks preceding any general or
special election, at which state,
county, district or precinct officers
are to be elected. Polls are to be
kept open from 8 a m to 6 p m ex
cept in cities of 50,000 inhabitanes,

oben from 6 a m to 9 p m. The
election is governed by the- general
election laws, except as otherwiee
provided in this act. -
; gt. JPaul, Minn, Nov; - 8. The
.stimulus of a big cash reward has
been added to all other inducemen
ts to find Superintendent Benjamin
F Egan, of theKalispel ldivision of
the Great -Northern Railroad, if he
is alive, or his body if dead. The
employes of the Breckenridge, Minn.
division of the road, the division
on which he was assistant superin
tendent until a few weeks ago, when
he was promoted to- the Kalispell
division, have offered' a reward of
$500 for the recover of their former
chief, alive or dead. The Great
Northern Company has added $500
so now there is a prize of $1000 for
the man or men who are successful
in their search.
It is now almost a week since
Mr Egan and his friends went into
the mouLtiirjs near Kalispell to
spend a few days in hunting. The
hunters took a eeperate course,- ex
pecting to come together at camp
in the evening. Mr Egan failed to
join the others, and, after waiting a
time, search was made for him. He
was not fou nd, and news of his dis
appearance was then Bpread among,
his friends at Kalispell and at home
Search was then commenced in
earnest. As many men as could be
spared from the road were sent into
the. mountains to explore every can
on and gorge where it was thought
the missing hunter may have stray
ed. An engine was sent to patrol
the railrord tracks among the moun
tains, where the hunting party had
camped, and the engineer was in
structed to blow the whistle at fre
quent intervals, so that the lost,
could get his bearings, if he were
still - alive. Ihey shouted, fared
guns, built fires on exposed places,- -
but so far everything has been with
out result.-, . ."
While the search for Mr Egan
will be continued until he is found "
or there is' no possible chance of
finding him, his friends have lost
hope that the search will result -
successfully. Storms have prevai- .
ed in the mountains almost every
day since Mr Egan's disappearance,
and a severe snow storm raged all
day today. . .The enow is now about
three feet deep, making traveling
difficult and dangerous, and cover
ing all tracks. If Mr Egan has
perished, the deep snow will pre
vent his body from being found un
til the snow melts - late in the
epnng.
