ELECTIONS ARE QUIET

No Outbreak in Panama When Obaldia Is Chosen President of Republic.

ILL FEELING IS ABSENT.

i Panama, July 13. The presidential Elections throughout the Isthmus of Manama passed off without disturb

ance. Senor Don Jose Uomingo de pbaldia, exminister to tu United States and acting president during the febsence of President Amador was fclected president. ! The supporters of Ricardo Arias. Who recently withdrew his candidacy, Bedded not to vote, and as a consequence no opponent to Senor Obaldia Was placed in nomination. Notwithstanding this a large number of voters Registered their choice and demonstrated the overwhelming majority of tenor Obaldia's supporters.

GIVES VAST SUM FOR STUDY OF INSANITY

Case of Harry Thaw Attracts Henry Phipps.

New York, July 13. A virtually new School of medical science, incalculable In its importance, is foreshadowed in Ihe gift by Henry Phipps of $500,000 to the Johns Hopkins University for the study of insanity. ' Mr. Phipps has figured in a number of bequests that had for their aim the melioration of physical suffering. He gave $1,300,000 to found the Phipps In Philadelphia. But the gift to ttVe Baltimore institution is perhaps more ilmportant from the fact- that it means Ihe beginning of a treatment on a big fccale of the woes of the mentally unsound, whose humanitarian effects should be far reaching. It is said that Dr. Phipps was attracted to the need of developing more enlightened, more human methods by the case of Harry Thaw.

FIRST STRIKE. ON RECORD.

tt Occurred In Rone and Took Plaee In the Year SOO B. C. LIvy in his famous book, "The Anfcals," 9, 30, relates In the following suggestive words the story of a singular strike which occurred in Rome in :the year 300 B. C. and was probably the first strike ever known: That year occurred an event little Kvorthy of being related and which I would pass in silence had it not appeared as involving religion. The flute ;jlayers, dissatisfied because the latest censors had forbidden them to take part in the banquet in Jupiter's temple, according to the ancient custom, withdrew, every one of them, to Tibur, so that nobody was left at Rome to play during the sacrifices. This incident shocked the religious sentiment of the senate, and the senators sent messengers to invite the inhabitants of Tibur to make every effort in order that the . players should be restored to the Ro- . maDs. The Tiburtines, having promised not to neglect anything necessary for that purpose, caused the flute play- ' era to come to the place where the senate met and exhorted them to go back to Rome. Seeing that they could not prevail upon them to do so, they employed a stratagem In keeping with their character.

On a day of festival under pretext that music would increase the Joy of

the feast every citizen invited the flute

players individually to his house, and

wine, of which people of that profession are usually fond, was given to them In such quantities that they fell

Into a deep sleep. They were then thrown into wagons and transported to

' Rome. They only became aware of what had happened on the day after,

vhen dawn surprised them lying on the

carts, which had been left in the forum,

A large crowd had assembled, and they were Induced to promise that they

would remain at Rome. The right of attending the banquets was restored to

these flute players.

Dynamite Mines Placed Where

Law Breakers Are Liable to Visit.

TENNESSEE HAS METHOD.

Nashville, Tenn., July 13. The de

predations of the night riders have caused the citizens of Tiptonville, iu

Lake county, to adopt extraordinary

means ror tneir mutual protection.

Five hundred pounds of dynamite

have been planted in the shape of

mines at every place in the county likely to receive a visit from the riders, and a committee from the law and order league, named for the purpose has been trained to set off the mines at the proper moment.

The county jail, in which the sus

pects are imprisoned, was surrounded last night and the inmates given to understand that a dummy hanging to a telegraph pole at a convenient dis

tance was a representative of one of their number who had refused to talk

when requested. As a result it is alleged that considerable light was thrown on the operations of the riders by those of their number in jail. Five hundred men have been arrested in the Fourth district for alleged night riding. The arrests were based

on information furnished from O'Brien

county. Other arrests are to follow. It is said that many prominent men are under suspicion of being allied with the desperadoes.

WORKS OFJOHN YEGG A Daring Burglar Who Attained Fame In His Line.

HIS NAME A POLICE LEGACY.

RECEIVED IN CHURCH. At the sacramental service at the Second English Lutheran church yesterday, two persons were received into the church. The pastor was assisted by Rev. J. Hanning, pastor of the Lutheran church at Troy, O. Mr. Leroy Lacey sang a beautiful solo. The services were impressive throughout.

It It Now Applied to the Most Dangerous Criminals With Whom the Officers of the Law Have to Contend. Nitroglycerin In Safe Bursting. In the expressive slang that permeates police circles throughout the country, a "yegg" is one of the dangerous criminal class. The question is often .asked, "What is a yegg, and how did the expression originate? An answer to the latter part of the query will lead to an elucidation of the first. Some years ago, when the United States government was experimenting with high explosives, wishing to secure some death dealing and destructive

shell that would cause more damage than any before manufactured, some one. suggested that introglycerin be tried. Up to that, time this meat pow

erful of explosives had not been utilized in this way.

The government experts went to

work, and the results of their experi

ments were from time to time published broadcast through the community. At last they succeeded In making a shell in which nitroglycerin was the chief component part and which made all former ones sink Into Insignificance. In a town In the middle west at the time there lived a man named John Yegg. In his earlier days he had been one of the most expert electricians as well as all round experienced mechanics In the country. Later, through drink and bad associates, he had descended to a life of crime, his principal art being that of safe blowing. , lie was attracted by the published accounts of the experiments of the government authorities with nitroglycerin. The thought struck him. Why could not this be used in blowing safes? The method at that time was to drill a hole in the safe to be 'wrecked, fill this with powder or dynamite and then touch the fuse. This method, however, required considerable time to pull off "a Job" and was noisy and dangerous. Yegs-went to work on the (nitroglycerin method. He tried "it, and it was a complete success. Furthermore, after he had" performed jeb after job he had-the police ef the coon try baffled. They did not know how the work was done. Tegg Instructed others in the art, and soon from one

end of the country to the other safes

were being wrecked, bot by what manner no one knew.

Yegg's method was to take some of

the explosive which he and those with turn Jkqpgfeasagbr.ih.ft.gav.

this-teilii Is btiH extent and pour It In the crack of the safe near the hinges of-the door. The small aperture was' then covered with soap to hold the explosive in place. The fuse was applied, and with the explosion off went the doors, slick and clean. The entire job took but a few minutes. It remained for a young Pinkerton detective to solve the matter on a safe that was blows in Coldwater, Mich., where a bank was wrecked and many thousands of dollars secured. The crime was traced to Tegg and some of bis companions, and they were found guilty and sent to prison. Thereafter those who employed the nitroglycerin instead, of the older methods were called "yeggmen" or "yeggs." This was the beginning of the term, but since that time the application of it has grown greatly. Today a "yegg," viewed from whatever aspect, Is the most dangerous criminal with whom the police of the country have to deal He is one who rides the country o'er

on freight trains, working through the south in the winter and migrating to more exhilarating climes during the (rammer. He will beg when he is hungry and will steal and commit murder when he sees an opportunity

of benefiting himself. Today there are thousands of "yegge'

scattered throughout the country. Most of them belong to some certain band, each one of which has a leader. He Is the king. It Is his duty to enlist recruits. To him also is shipped aH

the loot, and he in turn converts it Into money and places the amount to the credit of the member sending It in. For this the king receives a commis

sion.

Most of the "yegg gangs carry what

Is known as a "kitten" with them. The "kitten" is a boy, young man or cripple, whose duty it is to visit houses and places of business, apparently .begging food or selling shoertrings, lead pencils, etc., and who then reports to the gang "the lay of the land" no that when the time comes for pulling off the job all are familiar with the premises. The "kittens" are often runaway boys and 'later become "yeggs" themselves, destined to follow a life ol crime and degradation. Pittsburg' Gazette-Times.
