COLONEL ESTRADA
SOMEWHAT EXCITED
WAN HOT ON THE TRAIL OF THE
WISHING S,M4 PESOS.
Warrant Issued For Manuel Fantcrla,
Who Will Appear This Morn-
ing in Justice Conn.
Colonel Augustin Estrada was a
busy man yesterday. He was In pur-
suit of 3,924 pesos, of the good coin-
age of the republic of Mexico, said
to be equal to the sum of $1,960. gold.
The colonel was somewhat In a hurry,
and the least bit excited as he rushed
Into Justice McClIntock’s court late
yesterday afternoon waving aloft a
complaint.
"Queek! A w-a-r-r-a-n-t. I know
where is he," and the colonel placed
the complaint on the desk before Jus-
tice McClintock.
The complaint alleged that one
Manuel Fanterla had converted to his
own use, without the consent of one
Augustin Estrada, the sum of 3,924
pesos, of the coinage of the repub-
lic of Mexico, being equal to $1.9(0,
gold. A charge of theft by bailee w-aS
docketed against Fanterla, and Jus-
tice McClintock handed the warrant
for his arrest to Constable Brown.
Before the colonel rushed out with
Mr. Brown he took time to say that
the trunk In which the money had
been placed was left In the custody of
the Mexican consul. The money had
been extracted, but the trunk was left
Intact. The colonel said that the con-
sul was willing to deliver the trunk.
Now that the trunk was empty the
colonel spurned his offer. He said
he was after the money.
Colonel Estrada, who told Mr.
Brown that he knew Just where the
defendant waB, Hfter these few re-
marks left the court room in a rush.
Up until a late hour last night the
colonel and Mr. Brown were unable to
locate Mr. Fanterla.
l,ater in the evening a report that
showed there were several strings tied
to the. 3,924 pesos came in the way
of a telephone communication to Jus-
tice McClintock. This report was to
the effect that Fanterla’s whereabouts
was known to the Informant, and he
would produce him in justice McClln-
tock’s court at 9 o’clock this morn-
ing. The report went further In say-
ing that at this time testimony would
be introduced to show that the money
sought to be recovered In this In-
stance by Colonel Estrada had been
sent to him by the Mexican govern-
ment prior to the Juarez mutiny of
the Colonel Estrada soldiers on Jan.
31. It will also be shown, the Infor-
mant continued, that the money was
Intended to be expended In paying off
these same soldiers.
Here, the promised proof was uncer-
tain as to whether ,or not thq trunk
containing the money had been
brought over to this side from Jua-
rez by Estrada, or a gang of the mu-
tineers on the night of the revolt. It
Is certain that the trunk was brought
over, and the money was In It. For
It was said that It would he proved
that at the Instance of the Mejrican
consul an order was Issued for the
money to he deposited In the Banco
Naelonal In Ciudad Juarez to the
credit of the Mexican government.
This It -was said, was done.
When the lied Flaggers looted the
Juarez branch of the Banco Nacional
the latter part of last week they got
17,200 pesos. The question, as far
as the 3,924 peso's Is concerned, that
Is agitating a few, seems to be, where
Is the money, and who has got It?
The trial which is scheduled to
come up In Justice McCIlntock's,
court this morning will throw some
light on the matter.
sured I’res'.Jent Madero of the loyalty
of the people to the constitutional
government and that "the traitors.
Emilio Vusquez Gomez and his satel-
lites. Orozco and others, would never
be permitted to defile the gates of
the city by entering It.”
Mr. Amador says ho Is by political
faith a Liberal, hut that those who
are disgracing Mexico by .their ac-
tions under that banner In the state
of Chihuahua are not Liberals nor
huv e they shown any conception or
knowledge, by their acts, of the prin-
ciples of the Liberal party.

tion of getting married and further

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
EARNS JURY MONEY
AttncUilcd Putt Bitpatch.
Oyster Bay. N. Y„ March 14.—Col-
onel Roosevelt earned $37.80 as a Ju-
ror. but probably never will receive
the money.
After he had been excused from
further duty at Mlneola today a court
officer advised him ho could claim
mileage at the rate of eight cents a
mile for the distance between Oyster
Bay and the county seat. By rail-
road the distance Is fifteen miles, so
that Colonel Roosevelt Is entitled to
$1.20 for each of the nine days of his
serv ice as juror.
"I haven't any mileage,” he said. “I
came by automobile."

slons of their confidence In the swell-
ing tide of Roosevelt sentiment.
A telegram from Harry S. New of
Indianapolis, chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee made public
by the Taft campaign committee, said
that the “Rooseve't sentiment is pal-
pably on the wane In Indiana,” and
that President Taft probably would
secure the four delegates at large
there as well as most of the dtyrict
delegates.
A counter statement from the Roos-
evelt managers charged that the ‘Taft
machine” In Indiana, “bossed now by
ex-Senator Hemenway,” was trying
by early conventions to "throttle any
expression of sentiment by Republi-
can voters ofylndlana and to thwart
their desire to participate in the se-
lection of their presidential candi-
date.”

re-nomlnation of President Taft voted
to call a state convention. The date
of the convention, suggested by Dr.
J. B. Dykes of Smith county was ac-
cepted without comment. The only
debate was over the adoption of tha
Taft resolution and over the question
of a convention as against presiden-
tial primary. The convention plan
was adoped by a vote of 61 to 10.

Guthrie, Okla., March 14.—Roose-

preliminary session of the Republican
state convention this afternoon and
a temporary organization was effect*

tional committeeman, began their
fight when an effort was made to
organize the convention temporarily.

hour of turmoil it was decided that
the roll as prepared should stand
and the .vote was taken showing the
Roosevelt contingent to be a major-
ity of two to one.
FEDERAIi ATTORNEYS
ENCOUNTER OBSTACLES
Cannot Obtain Evidence Needed
Sugar Prosecutions.
New York, March 13.—Federal at-
torneys met an unexpected setback to-
day In prosecuting directors and of-
ficers of the American Sugar Refin-
ing company and the criminal clauses
of the anti-trust law. All-day ques-
tioning of witnesses failed to disclose
the whereabouts of some of the most
neded documentary evidence.
Horace It. Havemeyer, son of the
late H. O. Havemeyer, former head of
the "sugar trust,” and one of the ex-
ecutors of his father's estate, was
asked to produce a letter written to
his father by Charles R. Heike, the
convicted secretary of the company,
said to bear upon the $1,850,000 loan
which it Is alleged Havemeyer anony-
mously made to Adolph Segal, owner
of the Pennsylvania Sugar company,
through the late Gustave A. Kissel,
who also was indicted.
”1 was unable to find such a letter.”
said the witness, In curt tones.
William Thorn Kissel, son of Gus-
tave E. Kissel, was unable to pro-
duce seVeral letters sought by the
government but on cross-examination
he offered a dying statement of hi*
father which, while marked for Iden-
tification. was not admitted In evi-
dence. The elder Kissel made a gen-
eral denial that he had entered into a
conspiracy to ruin Segal.

ocratic presidential nomination tn

RULER OF ITALY HAD NARROW
ESCAPE YESTERDAY.
Three Shots Flrtd at the King, One of
Which Wounded One of the
Royal Guards.
Anociatea Prett Bit patch.
Rome, March 14,—A vain attempt
was made today to assassinate King
Victor Emmanuel.
Antonio Dalba, a youthful anarchist
who says he belongs to no band, fir-
ed three shots at the monarch, but
the latter was not Injured, nor w
Queen Helena who was driving with
him In a closed carriage to attend a
service commemorative of the birth
of hls father, the late king Humbert,
who died in 1800 at the hands of an
assassin.
An officer of the king's guard. Ma-
jor Lang, was wounded In the head
and fell from his horse. A second bul-
let went wild and a third struck one
of the royal horses.
King Victor Emmanuel remained
calm throughout as did Queen Hele-
na, and continued to the Pantheon,
where the ceremonies were held. He
returned to the Qulrenal over the
same route.
Meanwhile an infuriated populace
fell upon Dalba and beat him almost
Into Insensibility. He was rescued by
the police and admitted his intent to
murder the monarch "as a protest
against government." <
Pope Plus expressed deep regret,
and added:
"These are the consequences of the
irreligion of the times.”
All day long great crowds paraded
the streets shouting “long live the
king” hut the greatest demonstration
was after the king returned to the
palace.
A quarter of a million persons
cheered officials who gathered to fe-
licitate the king on his escape. With
the queen and crown prince, King
Victor appeared In the great ball
room and In reply to their congratu-
lations, the king said:
“At first I noticed nothing. I was
looking out of the carriage window at
the Colonado church on the left when
1 heard the shots. I had no thought
that It was an attempt against me.”
Queen Helena explained that she
had witnessed the act of the assassin
as he fired the first shot. She had
the impression that he had pulled the
trigger three times more, but only
twice had she heard a shot.
Signor Blsolatl, leader of one sec-
tion of the Socialists In the chamber
of deputies, who last year declined
membership in the cabinet, shook
hands with the king, and said:
“Your majesty, this great demon-
stration indicates the true feeling of
the Italian people."
The king replied:
“1 am touched by this demonstra-
tion of Rome.”
“Were it not for the wounding of
your officer,” said Signor Blsolatl. “we
might be pleased at what has occur-
red, because of the mantfestion of re-
gard which it has occasioned and be-
cause of the great courage which
your majesty displayed.”
The king deprecated the Idea of
hls courage, whereupon the Socialist
leader explained that the people un-
derstood and appreciated hls act in
driving In an open automobile with-
out guards, from the Qulrenal to the
hospital, to see Major Lang, showing
hls complete confidence In the peo-
ple.
The king, describing the Impression
he received during the demonstration
at the Qulrenal, said it seemed as If
not only Rome but the whole of Italy
had gathered there.
The physicians In charge of Major
Lang say he probably will recover
within a fortnight. His helmet de-
flected the bullet and he received only
a slight scalp wound. The ball after-
wards was found Inside his helmet.
He suffered more from the shock of
the fall from his horse which caused
slight concussion of the brain and
some severe bruises.
When the king left the Pantheon,
one of the veterans guarding the
tomb of King Humbert, called to hls
companions:
“The king is safe; let us shout
'long live the king.’ ”
The enthusiasm among the soldiers
some of whom were crippled during
the war of Independence, and all of
whom are decorated with medals, was
striking.
The would-be assassin, when inter-
rogated by the police, said:
"For a time I thought I would kill
Victor Emmanuel, but I am satisfied
with what I have done. Nobody In-
stigated me to do the deed.” *
Dalba does not belong to any poli-
tical party. He has been twice sen-
tenced for theft and once for mal-
treating hls parents. He was born In
Rome, but the family came from
Abruzzi.
Dalba's mother said today that her
son when a boy had suffered from
Influenza, pneumonia and meningitis,
which ’ had left him weak-minded.
Within three months he was to be
called for military service.
According to Italian law. Dalba not
yet being of full age. cannot be con-
demned to penal service for life. The
most severe punishment meted out to
him cannot exceed thirty years.
