Lawrenceburg) Ind., Sept. 1.—Miss
Alice White, the 16-year-old sister of
Sheriff White, prevented a jail deliv-
ery here yesterday by arming herself
with a revolver and holding three des-
perate men at bay until help reached
her and the escaping prisoners were
safely locked in separate cells. Sheriff
White was temporarily absent from the
jail and his sifster heard the noise that
attracted her attention. She tiptoed
into the corridor and saw three pris-
oners using a file on the bars of the
window overlooking the jail yard.
Miss White secured a revovler and
hurrying out into the yard confronted
the prisoners just as one of them was
getting out of the window.

New York, Sept. 1.—A giant fish,
known as a stingaree, was landed by
a party of fishermen in a small boat
in Jamaica bay and as a result of his
battle with the fierce monster, Armand
Muller of Brooklyn is in a precarious
condition in St. Mary’s hospital.
Muller was fishing for sea bass when
he felt a strong tug at his line. Others
helped him draw the fish to the surface
and then when they tried to let go
of it ths stingaree leaped into the ves-
sel. It is a large fish with flat wing-
like sides and a long rat tail, near the
base of which is a bony spike six
Inches long.
This fish weighed a .little more than
100 pounds. Its mode of attack is to
wrap its flat wing-like sides about its
prey and sufflocate it. The stingaree
wrapped itself about Muller’s legs and
plunged its spike into his ankle, sev-
ering an artery. As soon as the fisher-
men had killed the fish, Muller was
taken into shore as quickly as possi-
ble and then to the hospital. He had
lost much blood, however, and his re-
covery is considered doubtful.
Owners of Foreign-Built Yachts May
Choose Manner of Taxation.
Special to The Tribune.
Washington, Sept. 1.—The new cus-
toms tax to be levied on foreign-built
yachts, as provided under the terms of
the Payne law, became operative to-
day. Several complicated questions
have arisen in connection with the en-
forcement of the law, but the most of
these have already been settled by the
treasury department officials.
The new tax applies to, vessels in-
tended exclusively for pleasure craft,
which have not been admitted to
American registry, whether owned or
chartered. A tax of $7 per gross ton
is fixed by the new tariff act, but in
lieu of this annual assessment the pro-
prietor of the yacht may, in his option,
pajf a flat tax of 35 per cent ad valo-
rem, which will excuse him from th®
payment of any .additional annual tax.
Owners of foreign-built yachts are now;
busy figuring, on these two proposi- ,
tions, to ascertain which form of tax /
will be more economical.
Military Committee Explains Their Re-
moval From Command.
By Associated Press.
Athens, Sept. 1,—An official state-
ment denying that the recent move-
ment was directed against the king or
dynasty or was intended to diminish
the prerogatives of the crown or in-
jure the constitution, explains that
the demands of the military commit-
tee for the removal of the royal princes
from the supreme command were ad-
vanced in the princes’ own interest, in
order to avert serious responsibilities
which might be harmful to their pres-
tige and prevent discords and jeal-
ousies among the officers serving un-
der them, arising out of favoritism and
personal sympathies.
The movement has placed Premier
Mavromichalis in a favorable position.
While condemning the committee’s
methods, he has been able to negotiate
a compromise, thus avoiding a conflict
threatening disastrous consequences
for the country and dynasty.

Chicago, Sept. 1.—The proclamation
issued by Mayor Busse a year ago, ef-
fective only for that year, because of
the unusual warmth of last Septem-
ber, has been restored to permanent
effect, and the straw hat, instead of
going to the Chicago ash heaps today
will survive until Sept. 15.
The decision was reached after the
mayor had received a long distance
telephone message at his summer home
at Fox Lake.
"Straw hats will be in style until
the 15th of the month,” was the mes-
sage that came from him.
"Do you deem it necessary to issue a
proclamation to that effect?” he was
asked.
"I issued one last year,
suffice,” replied Mayor Busse.
Special to The Tribune.
Dallas, Tex., Sept. 1.—The potton
committee of the Texas Commercial
Secretaries’ association, meeting here
yesterday, decided on plans for secur-
ing of accurate data in regard to the
present cotton crop, and will start a
campaign with the purpose of handling
the crop to the best advantage of
Texas farmers.
The committee confirms the first re-
port of the secretaries to the effect
that the crop will be only 48.4 per cent
of normal. No change in climatic con-
ditions can change this estimate, it is
stated.
The secretaries will urge merchants
and bankers throughout the state to
help the farmers hold their cotton for
higher prices. A general convention
will be called to solidify the
ment- in- a few days.
The cotton committee Is composed of
J. A. Arnold, Fort Worth; C. W. Coons,
Denison; J. T. Webster, Cleburne, and
John R. Babcock, Cleburne.

Seattle, Wash., Sept. 1.—A notable
case to be taken up at the Septem-
ber term of the criminal court to con-
vene next week is that of Eugene For-
tier. who will be placed on trial for
the murder of his brother, S. M. For-
tier, and the latter’s wife. The double
crime was committed last May at Den-
ny Station, where the slain man kept
a grocery store.
The murder of M. Fortier occurred
in his store. The only witness to the
tragedy was a young girl, who was
in the store to make a purchase. Ac-
cording to the history told by the girl,
Eugene Fortier entered the store
through a rear door and without warn-
yig fired a shot into his brother’s back.
Waiting only long enough to ‘'see his
victim fall to the floor^ Fortier ran
out of the building. Turning to look
bsftk after he had gone a short dis-
tance, he saw 'that his brother had
managed to crawl to the Hoor and cry
out for assistance. Returning to the
scene, Fortier fired five shots into
his brother’s head, killing him. Jump-
ign into a buggy that stood near the
madman drove rapidly in the direction
of a lumber camp, where the wife pf
the murdered brother was employed
as a cook. Before the man’s intentions
could be divined he had gained a good
start and the sheriff and posse of citi-
zens who had started to follow,were
unable to overtake him.

New York, Sept. 1.—A conscience-
stricken thief wrapped $1200 in bills
in a newspaper with a. note saying that
he dared not face his priest, and left
the package on a mail box at the Man-
hattan entrance to the Brooklyn
bridge, where many thousands of per-
sons passed it unnoticed. It was ad-
dressed to the Aiken Lambert com-
pany, manufacturers of fountain pens
in Maiden Lane, and when delivered
there it partially solved the mystery
of a theft that occurred three weeks
ago. At that time some- one stole
$1200 from the cashier’s desk.
Detectives were unable to find the
the thief and last Saturday
member of the firm notified all em-
ployes that the thief was known and
that he could avoid publicity by re-
turning the money. It is believed
word of this reached the thief and he
acted accordingly.

,Louisville, Ky„ Sept. 1.—A Kentuck-
ian, who last winter at a reception on
the isthmus, heard Civil Governor J. C.
S. Blackburn of the canal zone ask
the then president elect, William H.
Taft, to permit him to retire, in a let-
ter home tells it this way:
"Mr, Taft,” said the famous ex-sena-
tor, "I have but a few years to live;
I’m getting tired of this job, and I
want to go back to old Kentucky and
spend my declining days in peace.”
“I know you feel that way now,” Mr.
Taft is quoted as having replied, “be-
cause you are homesick, but every-
thing is going smoothly here, and I
want you to stay.”
The pair compromised on a
months’ vacation for Gov. Balckbw
this fall, runs the letter; but the writer
predicts that once Gov. Blackburn
whiff* the bluegrass meadows on his
farm* near Versailles, in the noted
counfy of Woodford, Panama will have
lost him as a governor forever.

New York, Sept. 1.—While the At-
lantic transport line steamer Minne-
apolis was in midocean a fire was dis-
covered in the forepart of the hold, ac-
cording to a cablegram received here,
and although the crew fought the
flames for four days before subduing
them the passengers knew nothing
aboqt it until the ship reached Tilbury,
the port, yesterday.
While the fire was In progress the
Minneapolis sent wireless calls for aid.
The steamship Vaderland picked up
these calls and hurried to the side of
the Minneapolis, standing by her for
12 hours, wheri, her help not being
needed, she proceeded on her way.
The Minneapolis left New York on
Aug. 21. She carried only first-class
passengers and below decks she is de-
signed to carry large numbers of live

Washington. County. Farmers. Tax
Themselves Monthly.
Special to The Tribune.
Brenham, Tex., Sept. 1.—Farmers of

The Sandcrab* Win.
Special to The Tribune.
Houston, Sept. 1.—The Sandcrabs,
who are playing a serie* of transferred
gam** in this city, surprised every-
body by taking a fall out of the league
leaders yesterday, the scor* at., the end
of the ninth inning being 8 to 2 in fa-
vor of the visitor*.
The reason for thl* is that the Gal-
veston aggregation is now playing gilt
edge ball, the same kind that enabled
them to take three straight
from San Antonio. Manager Gilks has
managed to g*t rid of the disorganiz-
ing element that prevailed in the rank*
of the team during the greater part
of the season- and has instilled into
the team he now has that something
which makes thorn play like a
chine.
Yesterday it was Johnson against
Rose, the hits being 10 to 7 in favor
of Houston, but superior base run-
ning on the part of the visitors over-
came the lead in hitting. Som* wild
errors by the Buffalo* hurt some, but
the game belonged to Galveston from
the start off. There is no fear of
Houston losing the pennant, however,
for t odo so they would ^ave to lose
practically every one of the remain-
ing games of the season and Oklahoma
would have to win all that she is to
play.
