Investigation Is Courted New York, April ?.-Mlss Clara Bar toln, president of , the National Red Cross society, in answer to what her associates say she considers the threats of the opposition to her administration. Is said to court the fullest Investigation bv conreis of the affairs of the or ganisation from her first connection with It. Miss Mable T. Boardman. one of the nine active members of the oppo sition, says she was jiended without a hearing and cites Bishop rotter, SDencer Trosk nnd Robert C. Ogden aa advocating a eorganlsatlon of the Red Cross, to regain the confidence or tne public. Speaking for Miss Barton, her per sonal renresentatlve says that she Is In excellent health, but much worried over all the trouble the Washington "mal contents," had made for her recently. "Aa for a congressional Investigation Miss Barton neither fears nor opposes It. She would welcome It aa the prac tical manner of having the Washington minority show what they mean by all associations of maladministration and wasteful management they have been makina but for which in spite of re peated requests they have never yet offered a definite, detailed charge."

WOULD KILL COMPETITION Case Will Be Appealed, but May Not Be Brought UpDur ing Roosevelt's Term. 6L Paul, April I. -The United riMtes circuit court of appeals today at noon banded down' a decision In the suit of the United State against the North ern Securities company, enjoining the company from voting the stock of the Oreat Northern or Northern Pacific Railway companies, but allowing the return of such stork ax had been de livered to the holding company. The opinion was unanimous, all four Judges concurring, but the opinion was written by Judge Thayer. Th4 court holds that the merger places the control of the two roads In the hands of a single person, to wit, the Securities company by virtue of Its ownership of a large majority of tbe stock of both companies, and that it destroys every motive for competition between two roads engaged In Inter state traffic which were natural com petitors for business, by pooling the earnings of the two roads for the com mon benefit of the stockholders of both companies. The caae will be appealed... Washington, April . Cnlees there Is very great expedition in bringing the merger case to the United States su preme court and also in its considera tion hereinafter, the supreme court will not pass on the case during the pres ident's term. The court will adjourn tlnally in the latter part of May and will not convene agiln until next Oc tober. " It is considered Impossible that the papers can be put In shape and the case prepared for the consideration of the court within that time. Another Large Ocean Palace New York. April .

The Easter holi day recess enables the ministers to take account of stock, says a London dlsitch to the Tribune. They have not yet received assurances that the nationalist convention will sanction the land purchase bill when there Is no home rule bill behind It. If these as surances are not withheld the passage of the Irish measure will encounter little assistance and themlnlstry blllwlll gain eoiisUieable prestige. The London supplement education bill will be stren uously fought by the liberals, but they will have leas assistance from the non conformists than they had lust year. Mr. Chamberlain Is repored to be bet ter Dleaaed with the educational bill than with the land bill. Both meas ures will receive his support, since South African problems must be set tled without a political disturbance in England this year. Witha favorable budget the government la likely fc pull through the session comfortably. Direct By the People Springfield. Ills.

One of the Men Arrested By Liaville Daringly Esap ed While Enroute for Portland. GETAWAY MADE NEAR COBLE Lyman Is Desperate and Every Effort Will Be Made to Re-taKetlinv-Detective In Pursuit. Portland, April Jl. While the train was running 40 miles an hour S. L. Ly-. man. wanted here for highway robbery, escaped from the officer who was bring lag him from Astoria, by leaping from the car. The escape was effected this morning shortly before 11 o'clock. Just Just after the A. t, express for Port land left Goble. . Detective Snow fol lowed his prisoner In a bold attempt to recapture him. All went well till Goble was reached. Each officer kept his man by his side In different ends of the same car. There had been no trouble and none was look ed for. When the train left Goble Snow and Kerrigan felt relieved. as there were no stops between that point and Portland, and the rate of speed maintained would seemingly preclude any thought of escape. But not long after the train had gained Its full head way. Lyman, the taller and fair one of the two. who was sitting with Snow, leaped to his feet and with a blow at th detective, made for the door and an Instant later had launched himself headlong from the platform of the car. j Through a marvelous chance the dar ing man was not killed, but was seen to pick himself up and hurry away. ' The officer, not to be outdone, sig nalled for the train to stop, and before, GOLD and SILVER Shirts FOR MEN New Spring' at C. H.

"I've known him and worked with him 14 years tnd If he loses this man it wilt be the first In all that time that Frank Snow lost. Just the details f the es cape I don't know, as we had to keep the men separate, but I firmly believe that Snow will turn up with his pris oned later in the day." The daring displayed by the escaped man is taken by the police aa another example of the recklessness of desperadoes. On Roosevelt's Private Car . Livingston, April .
