This rule Is never waived except by unanimous consent, wlifch could not be secured this afternoon.

Dr. Russell In appearing be-I gon nominations made last Tuesday, but fore the grand Jury waived lmmunty. when an effort was made to secure Finding: of Camera Tripod Near Im portant Fortifications Viewed With Cneaslnesa by Some. FORT STEVENS, April 17. (Special-) Despite persistent rumors emanating from Seaside and vicinity to tne eneci that dirigible balloons and other type of aerial craft nave been seen In th Immediate neighborhood of the fortifi cations at Fort Stevens, the Army au thorities have not been able "to authen ticate these reports. The supposition Is advanced here that the presence of the huge steel sub marine mines that they are now plant ing in the harbor entrance of the Co lumbia have the appearance of dirigi bles as they swing from the davits of the mlneplanter Rlngold, a distance of 15 miles. In England recently a toy balloon was responsible for a war scare. The finding of a new camera tripod near one of the new batteries at Fort Stevens two days ago has been the cause of considerable local uneasiness, since It Implied that the possessor had fled hastily, and possibly with Import ant photogrsphlc plates In his possess ion. Though the aerial craft Idea Ib gener ally scouted, the presence of such con crete evidence as the camera tripod within a stone's throw of an important fortification, is declared to be bqna fide evidence of the presence of some mys terious and possibly dangerous visitor. About a year ago a spy was discov ered at the same battery. He escaped from the sentry who halted him. CONFIRMATION HELD UP Myers Nomination Reported Favor ably to Senate.

( "The sentence of confinement would be Justified In Cook's case," said Secre tary Daniels, "but as I have not had an opportunity to Issue a warning before, I have let the sentence stand at dismis sal. Tour hazer is essentially a bully and must necessarily have a streak of Innate cruelty. The United States Navy has no place for youths of this kind." The victim of Midshipman Cook's haz ing' was Midshipman Newbold Lodge, of Mlchigsn, who was made to stand on his head and do other stunts by Cook.

I ment lor nis aeeas, m pnoner -"- - "It was late In 1910 that I beat the cops at their own game in Jackson, Mich. My pal, Bert Smith, was found guilty of murder in the second degree, but I got out of it. Leave it to me. I was mixed up In lots of other murders, but they were in the western part of the country, where they have no elec tric chair, and I can safely say that no man was hanged for any of the crimes I committed. Police Blamed for Downfall. "I placed the blame for all my trou bles with the police. When I was a lit tle kid they locked me up without any reason, put me in a cell and beat me.

Just as the Judge was about to order court dismissed Jen nings rose in the dock and proceeded calmly with his confession. In, the detention room later Jennings talked to reporters. "I killed Mildred Donovan," he said, "I confess this to save Innocent parties. She died easy. I choked her for 18 minutes, pressing both my thumbs Into her mouth. Mildred died at exactly 7:65 o'clock. I know that because a bell In the town clock on the square struck 8 o'clock five, minutes after she stopped squirming. After her death I waa getting ready to make my get away. Seeing a raincoat, I bought it next morning for a disguise. See this blood here? I had this coat when I shot MacPherson. That is MacPherson's blood. I was Just about ready to get out of town when I shot him. But there was murder In my heart." Jennings said he was resigned to his fate.. "I am. willing to take anything they give me, even the chair," he went on. "I do not fear the chair. I have played my cards in luck until today. Now I've played the last one.
