OLD MISS MOON HID Early This Morning She Modestly Retired in Earth's Shadow. WAS A PERFECT ECLIPSE The total eclipse, of the moon this morning was one of the most perfect of lunar phenomena ever witnessed by residents of this city. Occurring at the time It did, between 12.:50 and 1 o'clock, not as many enjoyed it as would like to have done so. The moon crept into the shadow of the earth about 12 o'clock and after a short time was completely changed in appearance, being a brilliant blood Ted. It remained this color until about 3:30 o'clock, when it again began, to pass out of the shadow and assume its normal appearance. The night was very clear and it waa probably the most perfect eclipse ever seen in this city. FROM RICHMOND TO FLORIDA WITHOUT CHANGING CARS.

A DUTCH PATRIOT GIVEHHE BOOT Man Who Wanted to Drain Zuyder Zee Repulsed at Rockefeller Mansion. DASHED PAST THE GUARDS
AT THE GATE OF THE OIL KING'S VAST ESTATE, IN AN AUTO, BUT THE BUTLER PROVED TO BE HIS UNDOING. Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 27. A young man from Holland, who signs himself Count De Vries and dresses with immaculate taste, has made three furious but futile attempts to see John D. Rockefeller at Forest Hill. Once yesterday in an automobile he dashed past the guards at the entrance to the Rockefeller estate at the rate of 00 miles an hour. He was shot at, but not hit, and managed to reach the Rockefeller front door. He opened the door and walked in, but was met by the butler, who, aided by guards, thrust him out. Then he was forcibly ejected from the grounds. This automobile sally followed two other attempts, one earlier in the day and one on Thanksgiving Day. The Count, who is stopping at one of the best hotels, has come all the way from Holland to interest Mr. Rockefeller in a scheme to drain the Zuyder Zee and turn its present bed into a smiling land of gardens and homes. Will Stick It Out. The count said last night that he would stay here until he gets an audience with the oil king. If he doesn't get a chance here he intends to follow the magnate to New York. The Count, who arrived on Monday, did not make-an attempt to see Mr. Rockefeller until Thursday, when he thought the rich man would be in a mellow mood, following his Thanksgiving Day dinner. He found the gatekeeper, however, a rock in his path. Though he explained to Pat Lynch, who has been on the Forest Hill gate for lO years, his mission, Lynch was not impressed and the count was forced to turn back without getting within gunshot of the oil man's mansion. Yesterday afternoon he renewed the attempt. Again he was turned back by the gatekeeper. Count de Vries then played his best card. Going away for a few minutes he suddenly returned in his auto at high speed and rushed past the gatekeeper before Lynch was aware of his approach. Lynch shouted at him. The guards, hearing the gatekeeper's cries, ran out and tried to stop the auto, but the car was going too fast. Then one of them fired his revolver, but the bullet hit the ground just behind the speeding auto. Ejected From House. The nobleman reached the steps, burst into the front door and had gone almost to the Rockefeller dining room when the guards, warned by telephone rushed to the butler's aid and threw the Count into the driveway. He was pushed into the auto and one of the guards taking the steering wheel, ran the auto into the street. But the Count, not worried over his rebuff, says he will try again. Seen at his hotel last night the Count was not downcast. Twirling his wee mustache and complacently smoking his pipe, he sat ruminating. The project of making the Holland sea dry is still feasible: it is still practicable. It will require-a great deal of money, but at Forest Hill and at Pocantico there is a great deal of money. Mr. Rockefeller didn't know anything about the scrimmage until long after it was over, as he was playing golf at the time. Had the count known this he could have driven his auto to the links and perhaps got to the rich man, whose wealth he wishes to utilize for Holland's good.

CASS PROSECUTOR CAMPS ON TRAIL OF FRANK ADAMS (Continued From Page One.) perienced by the fact that there was an error in the papers forwarded by Custer, and they had 4.o be returned to him. They were again sent to Indianapolis, and duly signed by the governor, and they came back to Logansport a few days later. Bigamy the Charge. The warrant charging Adams with bigamy was then placed in the handi of Sheriff Lewis E. Beckley, and he immediately forwarded it to the sheriff at Chattanooga, asking that Frank R. Adams, with offices in Room 3, in the Adams building, be placed under arrest. Adams, according to information from the Tennessee city, could not be found. For several years previous to their marriage Adams, who came here as a traveling salesman and promoter, "kept company" with Lizzie Wooster, who then was working as a waitress in the Johnston hotel. She was one j of the prettiest girls in the city, and i had suitors by the score. But whenever Adams was in town her whole attention was given to him. He lavished money, jewels and fine clothes on her, and was unstinted in his gifts to the girl's mother. There was nothing too good for the girl, and while he was in town it was one "round of pleasure" for her. The attentions which he paid the pretty waitress were the cause of much comment. Finally, she cuit work and went to live with her mother, Mrs. Robert Rodabaugh, in a house in Sycamore street, which Adams obtained, furnished and gave to the latter. And I shortly after this it was announced that the couple was to be married. Married in 1904. The news was not a surprise. The man seemed to be greatly infatuated with the girl and his love seemed to be returned. The evening of March 15, 1904, at the home of the girl's mother, Adams and Lizzie Wooster were married by the Rev. J. H. Craig, pastor of the Ninth Street Christian church. The ceremony was performed in the presence of the members of the girl's family and a few friends. A quiet wedding supper was enjoyed and then the bride and bridegroom went on a short honeymoon trip. At the conclusion of this they took up their residence in Indianapolis. About two weeks after the marriage a friend of the mother, who lived in Chattanooga, Tenn., visited here and in talking about the wedding asked if she knew that Adams had previously been married. The news was a surprise to Mrs. Rodabaugh, but the friend gave no further details, simply stating that he had heard that Adams was a married man. The mother questioned him the next time she saw him and according to the story she told the correspondent Adams acknowledged that he had previously been married. He stated that he had married a choir singer in an Ohio town when very young, and that the wife, after only a year of wedded life, died of consumption. Believed the Story. Mrs. Rodabaugh stated that he told the story with such great candor that she could not help believe it, and his assurance that his former wife was really dead lifted a great load off her mind. ' Prosecutor George A. Custer has a great mass of affidavits from Boston. Mass., showing that Frank R. Adam was united in marriage in that city November 26, 18S5, to Anna F. Rice. All affidavits are in such form that they can be admitted as evidence at the trial should Adams ever be arrested. He also has the assurance of a half dozen Delaware, O., and Richmond, Ind., people that they will come here and appear against Adams, and with the mother of the dead girl against him, it seems as if Adams, if he is ever arrested, will have a hard time In convincing the court that he is innocent of the charge of bigamy.
DRILL TEAMS TO EHTEB A CONTEST
Second Annual Competitive Drill to Be Held After The Holidays. HELD AT THE COLISEUM IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE UNIFORMED ORGANIZATIONS OF MOST OF THE SECRET ORDERS WILL BE ENTERED. The second annual competitive drill contest to be given under the auspices of the Uniform Rank, K. of P. Co. 14, after the holidays, will be participated in by the majority of the drill teams of the secret orders of the city. The contest will take place at the Coliseum and the interest manifested in the coming event assures the Uniform Rank members in charge of the contest that it will be a success. The affair last year was very successful in all respects and especially so in the interest it created among non fraternal people present. The lodges during the past nine months have had at each meeting several accessions and many of theses new members were first interested in secret orders by the competitive drill. The prizes to ' be offered this year will be larger in all probability than before. It is also expected that several lodges who did not compete last year will be represented in this winter's affairs.

WANTS LAW ENFORCEMENT (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 27. In an address to the Friday Bible class at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday, J. W. Thompson, a lawyer, denounced Mayor Bookmaker of this city, and declared that he ought to be impeached because of his statement that he will not make any special effort to enforce the Beardsley liquor law, which was declared by the supreme court a few days ago to be constitutional. "Mayor Bookwalter ought to be impeached, and if he had twenty-seven months more to serve instead of twenty-seven days he would be impeached." said Mr. Thompson. He found no excuse for such an attitude on law enforcement and said further that "when Mayor Bookwalter walks out of office in January the bells of the city should ring, the whistles should blow and the christian people of the city should join in singing the old fashioned doxology."

ONE CONTEST IS LIVELY THREE DEMOCRATS, CHIEF STAUBACH, SERGEANT McNALLY AND OFFICER VOGELSONG WANT TO BE FIRST SERGEANT. Members of the local police department are greatly interested in the probable reorganization of the force under the Zimmerman administration. Speculation is rife as to what republican will gain the coveted plum of police chief, and some of the democratic officers are having a spirited little contest for the first sergeantship. A republican will be named as second sergeant. For first sergeant three officers, all democrats, as they necessarily must be, because the new chief will be a republican, have announced their eandidacr and include Edward McNally at present second or night sergeant, a very capable officer, and next to the oldest in service on the force: Henry Vogelsong, at present on day duty and regarded as good an officer, as there Is on the force; and George Staubach, who at present is chief, but is slated for retirement because he is a democrat, Mr. Staubach, like the other two candidates, is very capable, having been in the ranks for a number of years an 1 also served as sergeant several years ago. A Desirable Off iceT The first sergeantship is considered by the officers as desirable a position in many respects as that of chief of police, although of course there is more honor and better pay connected with the latter position. The salary of the first sergeant is by no means small, that officer receiving in all $30 per month, $TO for his services as a police officer and the remainder because he is bailiff of the police court, acts as secretary for the police commissioners
