No. 117
FOR
RELIEF
OF TROUBL
President Roosevelt Places Fifty Million
In Panama Bonds on Market and
$100,000,000 in Certificates.
Now York, Nov. 18. Satisfaction
was general today in banking circles
because of the government's plan of
relief to the market by the Issue of
of $50,000,000 in Panama bonds and
$100,000,000 In one year treasury
certificates. The issuo of short term
certificates was moro of a novelty
and attracted moro discussion. Tho
general opinion Is that both measures
would tend to draw idle money from
private hoards and thereby break
the premium on currency and restore
normal conditions in the money mar
ket. So strong was this feeling that is
was understood that gold engage
ments would practically ceaso after
today. International bankers de
clared that tho gold already engaged
Is as much as New York can justly
take from Europe under tho strained
conditions which prevail thero and
to take more would bo only to com
pel its return at a later date. The
Issue of short term obligations, bank
ers declare, will meet admirably all
demands of tho present occasion, be
cause they can bo taken up and paid
for at tho expiration of their term
from tho treasury cash balance which
can then bo withdrawn without dan
ger from the custody of tho national
banks. The response of tho public
to the offer of now securities is ex
pected to center largely on tho cer
tificates. Tho Panama bonds paying
only two per cent and selling at a
premium aro expected to go chiefly
to national banks to bo used as a
basis of circulation.

St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 18. Presi

Norfolk, Nov. 18. The American
Federation of Labor, amid great en
thusiasm today adopted unanimous
ly, tho report of Its special committee
on tho Van Clovo Buck Stove and
Range company's Injunction which is
now pending at Washington which
provides for an assessment of ono

pressed itself as favoring tho exclu
sion of all Immigration from Asia

United States and its insular posses
sions. Great reduction in Millinery for

run lAuLUoiun
Washington, Nov. 18. President
Roosevelt has been commended and
congratulated throughout the day on
tho wisdom and success of the finan
cial relief measures launched yester
day by the administration. Many tel
egarms from all parts of the country
including New York, Chicago and
other large cities, have been arriv
ing all day at tho White House. The
president received word from Buffalo
that his letter expressing confidence
in tho financial soundness of tho
country had been printed in several
languages and distributed among de
positors who were making a run on
a bank thero with tho result that the
run was checked.
Before business closed at the
treasury today, many applications
for new certificates for new indebt
edness had arrived. The fiscal uses
to which these certificates will be
put will make the demand for them
very general according to the opinion
of experts of the department. As
surance was given today that the
gold reserve was behind these cer
tificates and this fact, added to their
Interest-bearing feature, will make
them eagerly nought. Tho hint in
tho president's letter that financial
relief from congress was assured, re
sulted In many inquires of the exact
status". It is admitted tho president
has consulted freely with leaders of
both houses of congress by mail and
in person, but just what tho present
status of tho matter Is, is with-held.
Ono point of. unanimity is certain.
Every senator and representative
who has called at the White House
during tho financial distress has been
free to say that financial legislation
would bo tho first business of tho
next session of congress. Beyond
this unanimity ceases.

PORTLAND DESIRES
TO OBTAIN ACTION.
Portland, Nov. 18. A meet-
ing of bankers and grain export-
ers was held today to discuss
mean3 for realizing on London
bills of exchange given for
wheat. Theso' bills require sixty
to ninety days to realize upon
and Immediate disposal of them
was a problem which the meet-
ing failed to solve. While no
definite plan was devised, the
conferees were unanimous in de-
elding to continue tho meeting
for further discussion.

BOURNE LOSES HIS
COLORED LADY CHEF
Washington, Nov. 18. Senator
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., had a sad ex
perience with the Washington servant
problom yesterday. Ho, had engaged
a well-recommended colored cook
and with several political friends as
guests waB about to sit down to
breakfast to enjoy the first meal pre
pared by her. Just as breakfast was
being served the fashionable pre
cincts of Stoncleigh Court were in
vaded by two members of the
Metropolitan police force, who
hustled Into tho senator's apartments
with but scant ceremony, pinched the
cook and hauled her away In a patrol
wagon.
Helping herself to valuables at the
place she had left to take service with
Senator Bourne was tho causo of her
downfall and of almost stampeding
tho Senator's breakfast party.

Three Reno Men Break From
Penitentiary in Captured
Butcher Wagon.
TWO ARE RE-CAPTURED
Hud Guns Concealed Inside Walls
Third Found Head on Moun
tain Side.
Reno, Nov. 18. The most sensa
tional prison break that has ever oc
curred at tho new penitentiary took
place this afternoon at 3:10 o'clock,
when tho convicts; Richard Forest,
James Watson and John H. Edwards
overpowered three guards, shooting
ono through the hand and taking
possession of a butcher wagon in the
prison yard was drove into the hills.
The men were all heavily armed and
a battle was expected when they were
overtaken. The convicts were work
ing in the kitchen when they saw the
butcher wagon in the yard. They
Immediately secured tho rifles they
had concealed and rushed for tho
wagon. Throwing the butcher out,
they lashed tho horso to a run and
escaped. Tho guards feared a gen
eral break and turned their attention
to other prisoners, thus giving tho
convicts time to get away. Forest
and Watson were recaptured about
four miles west of Carson shortly
after four o'clock, after a short bat
tle in which no ono was Injured.
Both men for a short tlmo battled
with tho posse from behind a pllo of
rocks. Edwards Is said to bo sur
rounded a short distance further on,
but particulars are hard to obtain.
Ho is tho most desperate of tho three
and tho officers believe he will put up
a hard battlo. Several days ago a
horse and buggy wero stolen from tho
Reno livery stable and tho warden of
tho penitentiary states ho believes
tho guns carried by tho escaped
convicts were taken to the prison
by men who stole the rig and wore
handed over tho wall to tho men.
Hotly of Edwards Found.
Rono, Nov. 19. About 5 o'clock,
men In pursuit of Edwards came
across his body on a mountain sido,
back of tho city. It Is believed that
when ho saw his companions taken
into custody, ho lost heart and turn
ed the gun on himself.

DEFENSE PRESENTS
EVIDENCE OF INSANITY
Newspaper Men and Physicians Test
ify in Bradley Case Woman
Greatly Excited.
Washington, Nov. 18. The de
fense laid tho foundation today for a
plea of Insanity In tho case of Mrs.
Bradley, charged with Senator
Brown's murder, or moro accurately
perhaps, mental Irresponsibility at
the tlmo of tho tragedy. As on pre
vious days the courtroom was
thronged. The prisoner, frail and
weak almost to the point of collapse,
sat behind her counsel, manifesting
comparatively little Interest. Oc-
caslonly, she exchanged words with
her attorneys. During the afternoon,
she sat with her head buried in her
hands without moving. Tho evidence
adduced today tended to throw light
upon Mrs. Bradley's condition at the
tlmo of tho tragedy. Newspapermen
and physicians occupied the stand
most of tho day. In each Instance
tho newspapermen testified that at
the tlmo thoy saw Mrs. Bradley after
tho shooting, she was greatly agi
tated. Physicians who knew her be
fore the murder and who subsequent
ly examined and treated her, testi
fied that her physical condition was
such as ilkely to produce mental
aberration, or at least, Irresponsibil
ity for her action.
WOMAN KILLED AND
EATEN IIV PANTHER
Columbia, La., Nov. 18, While

ed by his wife's prolonged nbsonco,
instituted a search and found his
wife's head and her skeleton, picked
bare of flesh, in a clump of bushes.
Bits of tho woman's clothing was
scattered over a dlstanco of two
miles, showing that tho panther had
dragged Its victim to a convenient
spot to raako a feast. A possd jof
men, with a pack of hounds, aro pur-

Two Independent Teams Battle
for 45 Minutes Without
Scoring.
WAS AN EVEN CONTEST
HIGH SCHOOL 6
FIRST INDEPENDENTS-2
Eighty-Five Yard Rim the Only
Scoru for High School Safety for
1st Independents.
Tho two games of football proved
most exciting. Tho first game bo
twoen tho First and Second Independ
ent teams was fiercely fought through
45 minutes of play, but neither sido
scored. When tho game ended tho
ball was within a yard or two of the
center of the field, and both teams
wre In good trim. Thero was little
except lino bucking in tho game, a3
each sido was bound tho other should
not beat. The Second team made a
twenty yard gain early in tho gamo
through a quarterback kick. The
ball was fumbled near the center
soon afterwards by tho Second team
and went to the First team. Tho
second team soon gained tho ball
again on downs, and made a forward
pass for 15 yards. Tho First team
upon getting the ball, lost ten yards
on a run where tho quarterback was
chased bnck of his lino with tho ball.
The Second team was forced to Its
20 yard line on bucks,, and It looked
like a touchdown for tho First team.
But tho ball was fumbled and tho
Second team punted It out of danger.
Tho First team slowly bucked It back
to the 20 yard line, when tlmo was
called for tho first half.
Tho second half was fully as ex
citing as tho first and tho ball would
pass from one team to tho other In
rapid succession on downs. Tho
Second team was penalized onco for
offside play, and tho First team got
tho penalty three times.
Tho First team seemed tho strong
er on straight football, but tho second
team which had practiced moro faith
fully, had several trick plays by
which thoy galnod much ground. It
was an oxcellont gamo and as neither
sido had been In the gamo beforo
this year, it was considered phenom
enal enal that thero were not somo
few flukes and accordingly, scores.
Tho First team Indopondonts wore
choson to play tho High School, and
because of tho grueling gamo thoy
had been through tho second gamo
was mado 15 mlnuto halves. Tho In
dependents wore somewhat heavier
than tho High School players, but
they had weakened themsolves by tho
previous gamo and tho High School
boys wore ablo to play thorn a good
gamo, Tho ball was run back and
forward for a few minutes, and was
near tho center In tho possession of
the Independents. Tho High School

dependents punted to tho High

Wleder had an easy tlmo goln
through the other end. He go
away clean, and sprinted down th
field with no ono In front of hi

of tho crowd was at fever heat an
all wondered If Cowan would stop
him. Ho had got about 50 yards
when Cowan attempted tho tack.e,
and failed to land his man. WIedei
