RESCUES BROTHER IU MEXICAN JAIL

Young Girl Returned Yesterday to New York, Proud And Happy. WER TASK WAS HARD ONE MIS JOSEPHINE SHILLINGS ENCOUNTERED MANY OBSTACLES AND FINALLY GOES TO SEE PRE8IDENT DIAZ. ' New York, April 19. Josephine "Shillings, the pretty 17 year old girl who, unaccompanied and unaided, went to Vera Cruz and, after months of hard and constant work, succeeded In having her brother Frank, a tobacco broker, liberated from a Mexican prison, where he was held waiting trial on a trumped up charge of theft, arrived here on the steamship Merida. Merida. Attired in a girlish dress of pink, her brown hair partly hidden by a large straw hat and her pretty face 'wreathed in smiles, because of the success of her mission Miss Schilling told of her trip to Mexico and of the liberation of her 'brother. A Trumped Up Charge. "My brother, who lives In Ogdenslurg, late in 1906 went to Mexico. City on business. In January, the following year, he visited Vera Cruz, intending to take a steamer for New York! Walking along the street . one night he saw several men fighting and stopped to watch, taking a position near a tore window. . "Suddenly, a man known as Dudolpho RidiresQ, ran from the crowd directly toward my brother shouting that he had been robbed. v My brother was arrested, thrown into a prison at Vera Cruz and for many weeks languished in a cell, measuring 39 inches sauare. He was allnwferi no niitftlria communication but through a friendly guard in the prison he succeeded In smuggling out a letter, that finally reached me, telling me of his plight. I was a student at the Holy Cross Academy but Immediately started to Vera Cruz. Arriving there I was told that I could not see my brother. Owing to my Inability to speak the language : all manner of . obstacles were placed in my way to prevent me aiding my brother. After three months however, I mastered the language and held daily consultations with Frank," Miss Schilling then told of how she hired lawyers and finally paid a personal visit to Diaz only . to learn on reaching Mexico City that, hrf brother had been released. Miss Schilling aid her" brother would return to this city within a few weeks. MEETS OPPOSITION Owners of the Property Occupied by the Country Club to Fight. WILL BE AIRED IN COURTS It now eerns very probable the JCarlham Cemetery association will meet opposition in its attempt to acquire the Smith farm. Just west of the cemetery now used by the Country i club. It Is understood that the legal proceedings which have been instituted in the circuit court are to be contested by the owners of the ground. ' The state law permits a cemetery to bring such proceedings, the same as railroads. The court passes upon the nillltlun AM t n la ' A V 1 ' iuu.wvu uuj iu m iccuuicai manner with the Intention of seeing that a fair value Is paid. If a protest be entered against the value affixed by appraisers the court Is called upon to determine the contention. ' r . LOOSE PAPER RAN AMUCKYESTEnDAY Complaint Has Been Made on This Condition. Complaint has been made because of loose paper on Main street. Last night the principal thoroughfare of the city looked like a whirlwind had collapsed between Eighth and Ninth streets, after soaring over a dump. Paper bags, newspapers, bills and everything else, were scattered over the pavement. There is a city ordinance against throwing loose paper In the streets.

y. pinny of work is nine him Governor Marshall Will Have His Hands Full on Return From' Trip. IS W. J. WOOD A DEMOCRAT? THIS IS DOUBTED, SO HIS JOB ON THE STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION WILL LIKELY BE TAKEN FROM HIM. Special Correspondent. Indianapolis, April 19. When Governor Marshall gets back from the east this week he will find a lot of things on hand to be looked after. In the first place, he must appoint a member of the Railroad Commission In time for the new man to take his place on May 1. It is certain that W. J. Wood, the present, member from Evansville, will have to go. Wood is the Democratic member, but " just how staunch a Democrat he is has been called into question, and he is slated for the ax. He was appointed by Governor Hanly, and it is pointed out that Hanly did not appoint stiff Democrats to any position. : :'":';;'A,:Jeb'fer Cullen. '-'M-, . It is expected that "Jack" Cullen, of Lafayette, the Monon engineer, who has the support of the Democratic organization in the Tenth district, will get the place, and that the announcement will be made soon. Another matter that the Governor will hava to decide is whether Harry B. Darling, of Laporte, is really a member of the State Board of Pardons. Governor Marshall appointed him to Succeed Thomas Daily, of this city, who was appointed by Governor Hanly on the last day of his term to succeed a man who had resigned. Hanly issued a commission to Dally for four years. Governor Marshall appointed Darling on the theory that Daily was appointed only for the unexpired term of his predecessor. Now Dally refuses to give up, and Governor Marshall has got to decide whether Dally or Darling Is entitled to the place. Other Appointments. Then there are the Public Accounting Inspectors, to appoint, one chief inspector, who shall be the head of the bureau, a $4,000 a year, and two deputies at $3,000 a year. The chief and one deputy will be Democrats and the other deputy will be a Republican. Then there will be several Held deputies to appoint who will receive $10 a day and their railroad fares. Governor Marshall will stop at Columbus, O., on Ails way home from the east and make a study, of the Ohio public accounting system for a day or two to ascertain just how It works. The new Indiana law was patterned largely after the Ohio law, and the Governor expects to gather up some valuable pointers. ' A foreign medical officer, speaking of soldiers, states that physical maturity does not occur till between the gee of - twenty-three . and twenty -five. Boys under twenty are almost aore to break down. - The " best armies . are those with tweatyjtwo yearsas the minimum. ASKED TO BE CRUCIFIED. Mexico City. April 19. The authorities here have been notified of the death of Tuburclo Zambrano, a Tuxpan Indian, under most peculiar circumstances. Zambrano impersonated Christ in the "Passion Play," by the 'Indians during Holy Week at the town of Tuxpan, in the southern part of this state. " When the time for the crucifixion arrived, oa Good Friday he demanded that, he be nailed to the cross. Instead of lashed, as had been the custom. Religious enthusiasm was at Its : height, and those in' charge of the. exhibition acceded to Zambrano' s , demands, pinning him to the cross with sails, hastily secured. When Zambrano was removed from the cross it was discovered that the nails used in fastening his . hands and . feet . were rusty. : - Lockjaw quickly developed and he died In terrible agony.. The Tuxpan Indians are said. to be the last of the Aztecs. The "Passion Play" has been a feature of their observance of Holy Week for many years. -

PLAUS 1 DARING BALLOOH VOYAGE Captain Baldwin to Attempt a Flight From Seattle to Boston. WILL MAP AIR CURRENTS THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST AERIAL TRIP ON RECORD, IF SUCCESSFUL, AND WILL BENEFIT AERONAUTICS. Seattle, Wash., April 19. The bal loon and airship, have suggested, in keeping with aeronautical progress, that there is a possibility of mapping the air currents, and an attempt to do so is about to be made by Capt. Thom as S. Baldwin, famous balloon expert. Since ' the very latest types of the airship and the big modern gas bags are to be exhibited at the Alaska-Yu kon-Paciflc Exposition at Seattle, this summer, and numerous flights and tests will be made, Capt Baldwin, to further demonstrate that to manage a balloon in long flights, is one of the great scientific problems of the day, proposed to make a balloon flight from Seattle to Boston. r" This is the longest balloon trip ever talked about and if attempted will be the greatest in history. While the date for the start has not as yet been set, it is expected that Capt. Baldwin will leave the exposition grounds during the coming summer, at a time when atmospheric conditions are right. Don't Seek Adventure. Capt. Baldwin will take this hap hazard voyage through space not be cause he is in search of adverture, but because there is a scientific purpose back of it all. H. Helm Clayton, of the Blue Hill observatory, one of the most noted students of atmospheric conditions in the world, is behind the proposed Baldwin ballooning expedi tion from Seattle to Boston. Clayton, by the use of kites and the modern meteorological , instruments, has fetched just enough knowledge concerning that mysterious space ov erhead to the earth below to venture the opinion that at an elevation of about 15,000 feet there is always a steady wind from the westward. Now Clayton further believes that should a balloon be kept constantly at this, or even a higher elevation, the great bag would enjoy the full power of thi3 steady wind, and should. If all theor ies pertaining to ballooning prove cor rect, . traverse the continent rapidly, Again, if these same atmospheric con ditions were exactly right at the time, Capt. Baldwin will land his balloon on Boston common within four days after departing from the Seattle Exposition. Will Make a Map. Plying through the air at a rate of speed yet to be attained by the fast ex press trains would no doubt be a nerve racking experience, but Capt. Baldwin believes that the men who will write the scientific progress made in the study of the airship and bal loon will have several pages to add if the balloon trip across the continent should prove a success. En route, Capt. Baldwin proposes to make me teorological observations and to map the currents of the air. This would prove a guide to future voyagers along the same lines. His PassSpeaking about handwriting which is hard to read, an old time conductor oil the Louisville and Nashville railroad told a story about James Guthrie. Mr. Guthrie, besides being secretary of the treasury under James Buchanan, was also president of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and a resident of Louisville. - ; : In the early days of railroading there were no printed passes, and Mr. Guthrie would ; frequently write a pass for a friend on a scrap of paper. The conductors , on the road would honor these, of course, but one farmer carried a piece of paper purporting to be a pass for a friend on a scrap of paper. The conductor honored it, but later grew suspicious and one day took it up. He carried it to the office of President Guthrie and said: "A farmer has been riding on this pass for about a year. Do yon want him to continue to use it?" President Guthrie put on his glasses, looked the paper over carefully and said: "Why, this is not a pass. It is a receipt I gave a fellow for a load of wood about a , year aro." Louisville

Being filled with the knowledge they proceeded within and were much joyed upon witnessing so pleasing a display of talent, -'-'-i5 But before they once again went upon the highway they had seen The Rosards, gymnasts, which is to say, athletes, and also Sing Fong Lee, a famous Violinist from the Orient, and they went away telling their neigh bors what wonderful strangers had come to this little city. Hagenbeck-Wallaee Shews. The new and wonderful European arenic features that have been added to the Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows, ap pearing here April 30. are many and varied, but none stand out so prominently in the brilliant galaxy of star feature acts as tne nve Bedinis, imported from Europe by Mr. Wallace, now seen for the first time in America. These clever people are acknowledged the champion -riding experts of Europe, and appear in what is classed as the only original equestrian acts known to the circus for the past half century. Their simplest feats are not within the range of accomplishment of the average equestrian, and their more heroic efforts are the bane of envious rivals. The Bedinis are noted for their dexterous Individual and conjunctive performances, which embrace a series of riding and athletic stunts entirely new to the American arena, concluding with simultaneous bounding leaps from the ground to the backs of horses. The Introduction of a comedy element by a dog a big Dane adds zest and novelty to their performance, and the certainty of execution with 'which all their feats are accomplishe gives a finished touch that is so frequently lacking in ordinary riders. The Bedini quintette are not alone, however, In the HagenbeckWallaee equestrian contingent. There are many other riders of both sexes whose names are synonymous with the best and greatest in equestrian achievement and the majority of whom are progeny of illustrious riding families, thus combining acquired skill with hereditary genius. They repre: sent every school and style of riding bounding, jockey, somersaulting, hurdle, menage, and race riders and heroic horsemanship of the frontier. In the list are Mile. Jeannette, Winnie Sweeney, Dolly Junian, Olga Reed. Maud Hayword, Mary Turgineff, Flora Bedini, Louise Stickney, Anita Conner, Sadie Llchtel. Robert Stickney, Jr., Fred Ledgett, Joe Lichtel and Everett Hart, all of whom are artists in their respective lines, and complete the marvelous equestrian features of the Hagenbeck-Wallaee Shows, which alone excel in this respect. "The Great Divide." The most Important dramatic event of the season will be the presentation of "The Great Divide," William Vaughn Moody's powerful drama of Western life, which Henry Miller will present at the Oennett theater, Wednesday evening, April 21. "The Great Divide" has been acclaimed by leading dramatic critics as the "long awaited 'great American play " during the phenomenal engagement of over 500 nights In New York. ' MA Broken Idol." Illuminated by the halo of success achieved through the phenomenal run of over three hundred consecutive performances at the Whitney opera house in Chicago, the laughing song play, "A Broken Idol." by Hal Stephens, Williams and Van Alstyne with Otis Harlan as the chief generator of laughter will come to Gennett theater on Tuesday. April 20. The production comes here in its entirety as produced at Manager Whitney's Van Buren street playhouse. It Is billed as a musical farce and is, contrary .to what the title would seem to Imply, an American play with a mu sical setting. -It derives Its title from an idol which three of the leading characters break in a row in a Chinese restaurant at Los Angeles, California, during the Celestial New . Year's celebration when they mistake i the household god of the slant-eyed heathen ' for a human being. They epend most of the two acts fleeing from the punishment they think will be meted out to them for the misdeed. " . The Secret. Sparks I wonder why it is a woman lets out everything yen ten her.

The Bull the Matador Found It Most Difficult t Kill. There Is no description of a bullfight in Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott's book, "Sun and Shadow la Spaia." but there is a record of a meeting with a matador in the studio of the court painter. Don Jese Villegas, and the ensuing conversation, a part ef which revealed the bullfighter in an unexpectedly gentle light. It also makes plain the fundamental reason why Americans object to bullfights. "How many bulls have yea killed?" some one asked of the aaatadore. "In twenty-five years 1 have killed 3,800 bulk."Were you ever afraid r "I have been afraid many, many times. On these occasions 1 put my trust in my legs and ran as fast as 1 could. "The bull, however, is the noblest of animals and the bravest. He never makes a cowardly attack from behind. He is so fraak. He to terrible, though. A man needs nerve to face him when be comes into the ring pawing the earth and beUowing." "Will you tell ns about the ball that was the hardest of an te kill?' The matadore's face changed. "He was a white bull be said slowly, "and he didn't want to fight. When he first came in he put his muzzle in my hand. He followed me about like a little dog.
