WOT PERISHABLE FREIGHT
IN PACKING GAS
Packed In Case With Bread and
Water and Marked "Glass, Wltli
Care," He Vainly Endeavors
to Reach America,
(Special Cable to the Central News and
The OreifonJan. )
ROTTERDAM, Sept. 22. When Jan
Haak and his wife had a more violent
quarrel than usual, Jan, who Is a tailor,
left his home In Amsterdam and Jour
neyed to Rotterdam. He Intended to get
a steamer there for the United States
and carve out a new career for himself
In the golden west. But, alas, when he
arrived In Rotterdam with Just enough
money to pay for a steerage passage to
New York, Jan found that none of the
steamship agents would sell him a ticket
unless he showed them enough money
or an Indorsement from friends In the
Vnlted States sufficient to pass the im
migrant officials.
So Jan had to give up the Idea of travel
for awhile and seek employment.- He did
not find It. Rotterdam had all the tallois
It wanted. Jan's money was soon spent.
He became stranded and sighed for the
good things his wife cooked. In his
plight he went to a friend, who sug
gested that Jan should go home as
freight, packed In a box marked fragile.
80 the friend procured a packing case,
bored holes In it, marked It with the
Haak address In Amsterdam and also
"glass, this side up with care," and then
wedged Jan In it with a hunk of bread.
& sausage and a bottle of water. Jan
being a very fat man and the packing
case not roomy, he was not comfortable,
but for the sake of cheapness the case
was delivered on the wharf to go via an
old cargo boat.
Unluckily this boat was so old that
before she took on her freight she par
tially sunk at the dock. Her sailing date
was ' postponed for a few days, and as
Jan in the box was not marked as per
ishable freight he was left on the dock
with other boxes and bales. Jan began
to groan, and a night watchman hearing
the noise raised the adarm. There has
recently been a mysterious murder case
In Rotterdam, and the police became ex
cited. Jan and the case were -very much
Investigated, There were all sorts of
weird theories.
Finally the case was thrown on a wa
gon and taken to police headquarters.
There tt was carefully opened. The
startled officials had to chop the box to
pieces to get Jan out. His condition
was pitiable. Much publicity has been
given the case, and philanthropists do
nated money to the tailor. He has gone
to Amsterdam with full pockets and has
been reunited to his wife, who deems
him a great hero.
RED TAPE AND WOODEN LEG
Lame French Soldier Has Trouble to
Escape Service.
PARIS, Sept. 22. Jules Forget, a stone
mason of Kssones, has had an amusing
experience with the military authorities.
Soon after finishing his military service
in 1903 he met with an accident and had
to replace his amputated leg with a
wooden one. He received last month an
Intimation that he would have to do a
further short period of mlWtary training
and was told to report at a Paris bar
racks last week. Forget naturally fig
ured he would not have to serve on ac
count of the wooden leg. So he went to
the police station at Kssones and showed
the leg to the chief of police. But that
officer was not satisfied with the evi
dence of his eyes. "You have a wooden
leg," he said. "I believe you, but I have
nothing to do with It. There Us nothing
In the rules and regulations regarding
wooden legs. You must pay 75 cents for
a doctor's certificate. Otherwise you
must serve and cannot be excused." For
get objected to paying out money, and so
did nothing more until the time came
for him to report. He hobbled Into the
barracks on crutches. The sentries want
ed to throw him out, but he showed his
mtlltary summons. Forget was taken be
fore the doctor, who was surprised. The
doctor quickly ordered the man home
and marked his name off the roll. He
also sent the police at Kssones an offi.
clal certificate that Forget has a wooden
leg.
CHAMBERLAIN' LITTLE BETTER
Greet English Politician Can Never
Again Fight Wordy Battles.
LONDON, Sept. 22. The health of
Joseph Chamberlain is slightly im
proved. This week, for the first time
since his attack of some months ago,
he was able to leave his bed. He sat
up daily for an hour or two, and to
ward the end of the week his armchair
was moved out on the balcony of his
house. He greatly desired to get away
from London, but the doctors positive
ly forbade it. It may be some weeks
before he is strong enough to be
moved.
The Chamberlain papers have stren
uously denied all along that the great
politician was ill. They called It "In
disposition," and have continued to
claim that he had merely an attack of
gout. The facts In the case speak for
themselves. Mr. Chamberlain has been
In bed for three months. To his bed
side have been called in consultation
the most eminent specialists of Britain
and the Continent. His family physi
cian came here from. Birmingham and
stayed continually In the house with
him. He has a night and a day nurse.
He Is slowly regaining his health,
but It Is doubtful whether he will ever
regain his old-time vigor or be such
a fighter at his party's head as in the
past. It is extremely probable that he
will soon retire from the arena of politics.
KING OF SMUGGLERS KILLED
After Making Millions, He Dies In
Desperate Battle.
BERLIN, Sept. 22. Ignatz Ambrozy,
king of smugglers, is dead. He died with
his boots on, after a fierce battle with
the Russian frontier police at SKairoier
zyce. It is estimated that Ambrozy was
worth 11.000.000 all made out of his ex
tensive smuggling operations. While he
owned a large quantity of real estate In
this city and elsewhere In Germany, he
always had a huge sum of ready money
on call at the banks lor nis Dusiness
capital.
Ambroxy employed a large staff, yet
worked himself on big operations. He
frequently changed his districts, and
smuggled every conceivable thing, from
oolum and tobacco to horses ana cattle.

He also made big money smuggling po
litical refugees across the Russian fron
tier. He had lately selected the Skal
mlerzyce district, and his men having
failed to smuggle a large drove of horses
and cattle over. Ambrozy went In person
and told them he would show them how
to do the trick. He had promised his
wife that he would retire from the busi
ness after his last coup.
It is believed that one of the smuggler
chief's employes sold information regard
ing the intentions of Ambrozy to the
authorities, for the frontier guards were
more than usually vigilant the past few
weeks. Finally Ambrozy made the at
tempt. He got his droves of horses and
cattle well over the frontier before dis
covery came. Then the smuggler let his
men go on with the droves, while he held
the soldiers back with a rifle A chance
shot crippled him, and after a desperate
struggle he was captured. He shot five
men and brained three others with the
butt of his rifle, despite his wounds. He
died a few hours later.
ADVENTUROUS COUNT COMIXQ
Has Trotted Globe, Fought in Many
Wars and Hunted Bandits.
PARIS, Sept?" 22. Count Rocco Dono
vltch, said to be .the greatest of globe
trotters, Is here on his way to the Uni
ted States. He expects to start for New
Tork In a week or two. There he will
publish a book giving an account of his
adventurous life. The Count has been
in the United States many times.
On the last occasion he had a Job from
a Sheriff In California to execute a China
man. The Sheriff had great difficulty In
getting a man to act as executioner until
the Count happened along. The Count
has been a constant traveler since he
was 15. He Is now 63. Born at Lissa, in
Dalmatla, he' made his first trip from
Trieste to Mexico on the same boat which
carried the unfortunate Emperor Maxi
milian, whose fortunes he followed until
the Emperor died.
The Count has taken part In numerous
wars. He was wounded in the Carllst
rising in Spain-and got a British bullet
in him during the Boer war. He has been
under fire in half a dozen South .American
rebellions. In Peru he hunted and kliled
Antonio Pasquabini, a noted brigand,
and received a medal for the job, in addl
Uon to the reward of 13000.
The Count has made and lost several
fortunes. - Nowadays he lectures on his
remarkable adventures and makes a fair
living. Although his health is perfect,
the Count wants to retire and settle down
in his old home. He believes he can get
American publishers to issue his book
for him and that on the proceeds he can
quietly enjoy life in Dalmatla.
HAS HIS ONE DELIRIOUS DAY
French Hotel "Beat" Makes Up for
Six Months In Jail.
PARIS, Sept 22. When there drove
up to the Cafe Blanche in the street of
that name the other night a. huge auto
mobile in which were a young man
dressed In the height of fashion and
two beautifully attired ladies, the man
ager of the cafe rubbed his hands with
glee and rushed forward bowing lowly.
The young man with a, lordly gesture
ordered a private room, a princely sup
per and demanded the use of the or
chestra. There was some trouble about
this, but finally the orchestra was of
fered to0. The most luxurious room in
the cafe was arranged for the party
and three waiters, assisted by the man
ager, served a magnificent supper and
iced wines. Then with the best cigar
in the place between his lips the young
man summoned the manager and com
plimented him on the evening's enter
tainment, and as he got up to go re
marked: "You need not mind about the bills,
for-. I have no money. Just consider
them all paid."
The manager and the orchestra and
the waiters thought this an awfully
good Joke and laughed at the strang
er's pleasantry. But the laugh froze on
their Hps when they saw the man was
In earnest. The whole party hurried
round to the nearest police station. The
automobile was one of the taxemeter
kind and $20 was owing. The supper
bill was $150 and the orchestra $50. The
police looked serious. The cafe man
ager, waiters, motorman and musicians
were howling with rage. The elegant
young man dismissed his two lady
friends, who were only too ready to go
when they found he had no money.
Then the stranger addressed .the po
lice. He said:
"I have Just come from prison. I
served six months and had a dull time
of it. I decided that when I was re
leased I would have one delirious day
of the best of everything. I have had
it from my clothes to my pleasures. I
haven't a kick coming. I owe a great
deal of money for today's doings, and 1
will keep on owing it. My name is Joa
chim Blln."
Mr. Blln is notorious for having a
good time on nothing. He has victim
ized all the best hotels and cafes as he
did the Cafe Blanche and has already
served eight terms for the same old
trick. He is the terror of the Paris cafe
keepers. He is perfectly willing to do
six months in Jail-for one good day's
sport. '
Thumb Prints on Bank Checks.
BERLIN, Sept. 22. Soma time ago
Hamburg; merchants and financial agents
were victimized by a series of check
frauds and an epidemic of embezzlement
by cashiers. To put a, stop to it they
ordered that all checks received or paid
out must bear the imprint of the cash
ier's thumb. A special Ink pad for this
purpose was supplied. The novel method
was soon proved a success, and it is now
announced that it is being universally
adopted by all large firms and banks in
Berlin and elsewhere in Germany.
POWER INTOXICATES PERSIANS
Success of Great Political Strike In
clines Them to Try More.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 22, Accord
ing to Information received here, dis
orders have broken out at Teheran in
connection with, the consUtutlonal move
ment. v As yet there has been no blood
shed, but the situation is regarded as
most serious. The Constitutionalists, the
advices say, are intoxicated by the suc
cess of the political strike and are dis
posed to resort to such strikes on the
sllghest pretext. Persian society is utter
ly demoralized by the continued agitation
and the whole of the political structure
is disturbed.
Joint measures by Great Britain and
Russia to exert a restraining Influence to
prevent abuses of the ""best" right of
sanctuary within their legation grounds
are urged here as an appropriate first
step toward an understanding between
the two powers in Persia.
CLAIMS " NEBRASKA MILLIONS
Knapp's Sister Will Contest Wid
ow's Right to Estate.
LONDON. Sept. 22, Mrs. Naranjo,
sister of the late C. C. Knapp, of
Beatrice. Neb., is going out to Nebraska
shortly to take possession of the $3,000,000
estate left by her brother. She has been so
advised by the English lawyers, who are
handling the matter for her. Mrs.
Naranjo is the only relative left by the
Beatrice man. A claimant has turned up
who says she is Mrs. Knapp. widow of
the millionaire. Mrs. Naranjo's lawyers
have told her that, even if this lady
proves her marriage, she can only take
one of the three millions, and as posses
sion is nine points the sister is going to
rush westward. Mrs. Naranjo, who
comes from the Bahamas, only arrived In
London a few weeks ago.
WILL BACK MISSION TO FEZ
U. S. Second Cruiser Squadron to
Go Over From Gibraltar.
TANGIER Morocco, Sept. 22. The
German Mission to the Sultan at Fez,
headed by Dr. Rosen, the German Min
ister, left here today for the capital. It
was accompanied by a large escort of
Arabs and a number of Europeans.
It is reported here that the United
States second cruiser squadron, now at
Gibraltar, will arrive here shortly in
order to support the demands of the
American mission to Fez, under United
States Minister Gummere, relative to the
case of Perdicaris and Raisuli. A British
cruiser arrived here today and anchored.
CURZOX WILL TOUR AMERICA
Ex-Viceroy of India Will Travel to
Kill Grief.
LONDON, Sept. 22. I hear that the
United States States is shortly to have
a vory distinguished visitor In Lord Cur
zon, of Kedleston. Since the death of
his wife he has spent most of his time
with his brother-in-law. Lord Suffolk,
and the latter' s wife and little baby son.
It is said that Lord Curzon is so heart
broken that he has decided to retire from
publlo life and will have nothing mora
to do with politics. This, I think, how
ever, can hardly be true.
Lord Curzon can scarcely go much
higher than Viceroy of India unless he
becomes Prime Minister. This Is such
a possibility, should he re-enter poll
tics, that he will scarcely give up his
great political ambitions. In his hours
of sorrow he may say one thing, In a few
years he may change his mind. There
are few strong men in Lord Curzon's
party, and he is badly wanted. His pres
ent intentions are to make a tour of the
world, with a long stay in Persia. He
will write a book on Persia when he re
turns. He will start his world tour via. the
United States. He will spend some time
there, for his visit will be largely one
of business in connection with his late
wife's estate. In addition to New York,
he will, of course, visit Washington and
Chicago. From what I hear, he will
probably go to all parts of the country
and tour it very thoroughly. I under
stand In order to keep away from the
American reporter he will adopt a nom
de voyage.
Pharaoh's Heart Was Hardened.
Records of the Past.
It Is reported that four ancient Egyp
tian vases containing the viscera of Ram
eses II have recently come into the pos
session of the Louvre. The 'contents of
three of them had been reduced to pow
der, and could not, therefore, be identi
fied. The other contained a hard slab.
French scientists had it sawed Into sec
tions and examined thin shavings of It
under the miscroscope. These horny frag
ments showed muscular fibers In the
formation found only in the heart and
tongue. Hence, the conclusion Is drawn
that this 8 by 1-inch slab Is nothing else
than the heart of Barneses II, who dle
1258 B. C.
