TALBOT PUTS j ! DOWN REVOLT Head Consul of Modern Wood-' ra Delivers Fiery Speech SEWARD CAMP IS CENSURED. Declaration Made Rates of Order Must Be Raised If It Is to Flourish. Sundean Is Scored by Head of the Fraternity. Lincoln, Dec. 10. While Head Con sul A. R. Talbot was peacefully en gaged at a meeting of the directors of the Modern Woodmen of America at Rock Island, 111., a message reached him that a band of insurgents was gathered In Lincoln for the purpose of defeating the proposed plan to raise insurance rates in the order. Lincoln is 300 miles from Rock Isl and. Within fvelve hours alter he had received the word, the head consul was here. Blood was in his eye. One hundred Woodmen had gath ered at the T.indoll hotel. Talbot waa there. The drat thing he did was to denounce John Sundenn, formerly of TCahoo, as a traitor to the organiza tion. The hitter was later a diatrid deputy with headquartc is at Minneap o'is, hut was relieved from office. In his fiervmeech Mr. Talbot attrib uted statements recently sent to the camps of the state by the camp nt Seward to Mr. Snndrnn. A warm and long session followed the scathing delivered by the head Consul. It was fina'ly voted to pass the resolution asked by Talbot. It was as follows: "Be it resolved, That we, delegates to this convention, deplore the action of the Seward camp, reflecting upon the officers of this society and charg ing wronedoir.g in any way. This con-, wntlon does not approve of the pre amble to the call sent out by Seward." i "If the order of the Modern Wood men of America is to live the ins lr-! ance rates must be boosted," declared Talbot In his argument. "We have $1,850 000,000 now out in policies and at the present rate of assessment it vr'M be 250 years before we can meet it." Inheritance Tax Ahead of Cower. The collection of an inheritance tax despite a widow's dower right and a son's claim of exemption through wnes earned was sustained in the state sunreme c lit when an opi'ron was rendered in the case of Saunders county nealnst the estate of Whitfield San ford, formerly of Lincoln, hut a resident of Cass county.

An inventory filed with the county court of Ijineaster county shows that his real estate is valued at $100,000 and personal property at $30,000. His widow and daughter, Mrs. Walter L. Anderson of Lincoln, are the only heirs. The hitter's husband was ap pointed administrator and his bond fixed at $4 ),000. 50,000 Cream Separators in State.

FORT RILEY NEAR STATEJF TERROR Sixlii So!d!sr .ttsl3J (or Dyna railni and Curnini. Junction City, Kan., Dec. 1C Trumpeter John Crile of battery 12, Sixth field artilllery, was arrested in connection with the dynamite explo sions and fires at Fort Iiiley, which cost the government $1,000,000. Crile Is the sixth soldier placed under ar rest since the investigation of the ex plosions became public following Pri vate Michael Quirk's confession that he caused the explosions at the insti- j gation of the Rev. Charles M. Brewer, former chaplain nt the fort. The arrest of Crilo and the release of Mrs. Anna Jordan at Kansas City before Deputy United States Marshal Meed arrived there for her were tiio developments in the case. Commis sioner Chase said he would have a warrant issued at oive for Mrs. Jor dan's arrest, and would have it s'rv "l through the I'nited States marshal's office at Kansas City .

Attempt to Shorten Usual Procedure Is Defeated After Debate Notice of Abrogation Only Effective Year After Succeeding Jan. 1. Indianapolis, Dec. 15. As a direct lead into the heart of the alleged dy namite conspiracy, District Attorney Charles W. Milller, while the federal graml jury held its first hearing In the case, took up the question of who furnished the money for purchasing and paying the expense of carryin;; about the country the explosives by which more than one hundred struc tures were blown up in seventeen states. Alia. Andrew J. Hull, now of Kim ball, Neb., who, as Miss Edith Wine Premier, was bookkeeper for the In ternational Association of Iron Work ers, and who was familiar with its money receipts and disbursem. nts, was closely questioned by Mr. Miller, while into the grand jury room were taken the stubs of check books and ac counts of the association for the five yiars during which the explosions took place. It was during a large part of these live years that Ortie E. McManlgal, according to his confession, did dyna miting fo- John J. McNomara, the con victed secretary treasurer, and often In company with James B. McNamari.

His Italian Friend A Peculiar Experience of nn American In Rome By F. A. MITCHEL Copyright by American Presa Asso ciation. l'.'U. In the riazza Colonna at Rome is an ' Italian restaurant the principal part of which is ou the sidewalk. A couple of hundred feet distant, in the ceutcr of the piazza, towers a column erecteJ iu the days of the ancient Romans. In the shadow of this column onu afternoon gut two gentlemen, Giovanni Sfurza and Albert Park, the former n. Italian, the latter an American, as tin. names indicate. Dark purported to live in Chicago but had become fascinated with Koin, and lived there most of the time. Tb Kterual City is not only attractive lr, Itself, but from its hlstorie nssocia lions, the ruins of it ancient edifices and the abundant curiosities constant ly being deposited In its museum Turk had become interested in Romar archaeology and had no eyes or ears except for Rome. "licit." said tlliivannl Sforza, "a friend of mine saw you when you were driving out on the Apphin way the oilier day and has asked me to bring you to see her." "I have no time to make visits," re plied the other, nipping a glass of wine from n table before him. "One would think that you are in your Chicago, where time Is inaney, In stead of un Italian city, where time Is pleasure. What have you to doV" "Tomorrow I go out with nn archae ologist to be present nt the opening ot some Tuscan graves 2.400 years old. Thursday I am to go down the Tiber to a point where a vessel some seven teen centuries ago. loaded with am phorae containing wine, was wrecked, and I expect to secure at least one auiphora for myself. On Saturday"- "Never mind Saturday. I am quite sure you will be free ou Sunday, and I have mado nn appointment for you to visit (lie charmer who. I am quite sure, will rive yon a new object to absorb you." "So be it, Giovanni. You have done so mui h for me since I have been in Rome that I cannot refuse you. It Is true that time for you Italians is only for pleasure. I wonder how you all live. I havn never seen you, my friend, do a stroke of work. I do not Itollevo you own any property from which to draw an l.ieoiue, ami yet you always appear to be plentifully supplied with money." "Never mind how I live, my dear fellow. Wo Italians have a knack of getting what we need without break ing down our health as the Americans do. Before I take you to call upon Signorlna Poll I wish to caution you against revealing to her that I have toid you of her request to bring you." "1 would surely not be so maladroit as that." was the reply, and the two men, rising, turned Into the Corso and sauntered toward the Cnpltolino hill. Meeting on the way an officer of the carabiuleri. Sforzn exchanged a mean ing glnm-p with him, which his com panion did nut not lie. A nionlli after this meeting between the two friends they sat again over a liter of wine In the shadow of the Colonna column. "Giovanni." said Park, "I am wor-1 rletl about this woman to whom you have int rod need me. I can't make her out. Her name Is Italian, ami she speaks Italian beautifully with that melodious voice of hers, but I doubt If any Italian blood runs In her veins." "What Is thai to you?" There was no reply to this, only s nervous fingering of the stem of Park's glass, and Sf r.a continued: "When I Introduced you to SIgnor'na Poll you hail no time to make vldts. spending It nil In archaeology. Now you have no time for art lineolngy. spending it nil In visits. Moreover, your visits are made exclusively upon Signorlna Poll." Park went on lingering bis glass for a time without reply, then said: "She has bewitched tne." "Indeed. That menus you think of marrying her. That I would advise you not to do without learning more about her." "How can I do that?" "There is nn adage, 'A woman Is known by her clothes.' If you could get a sight of the Signorlna Poll's ward robe you would know all about her." "But I can't go spying Into her closets. Besides, whnt opportunity hav? I to do so?" "As to any man's right to obtain a knowledge of one he suspects of deceiving him I have no doubt; ns to spying on n woman one Ruspocls tind whom one thinks of making a pnrtner for life he who Is squeamish is a fool. There Is plenty of oppor tunity for you to gain access to your ladylove's wardrobe. You need only to call when she Is not nt home, tell the servant you will wait for her and when left alone make the Inspection. If thero 1h nothing to bo learned the doors will be left open to you; If there is much to be learned you will And them locked." "You spenk ns one of experience in uch matters. If I did not know you to be above such a profession I would think you wero a detective." Fforzn smiled nnd said that the Ital ian rnce were used to chicanery. It had been In the blood ever since the days of Julius Caesar and had bloom ed la the Borgia. "You Americana," he added, "we consider very stupid at anything involving duplicity. You tell a person everything aud are surprised that he tells you uothlng. But I ad mit, my dear Bert, that this high stand, this delicate sense of honor. Is Very fascinating to us whose ancestors were used to getting rid f those who stood In their way either by poison cr by a slab in the back. Nevcrthelet you would be a fo.ii to put yourself !,i f'.ie hands of Slgnorlua Pell wl h.-ut a better knowledge of her than you have." "1 will think the matter over," wns Albert's reply, "and if 1 decide to act on your advice will let you know." "Rather tell me if you discover any thing remarkable." "Why do you wish to know?" "I don't. Keep to yourself w hnt you learn. If you like." There was uot even nn offended tone in the last remark. It simply ex pressed Indifference. Park fretted a long while upon play ing a spy on the woman he loved. It seemed nt times that ho could not. Then he would see iu her something he could not understand, and he would show his suspicion of her. ..It this she would tell him that they had bet ter part. She had no mind to be con tinually suspected. That would end the matter temporarily, but only tem porarily. One day Park called upon Slgnorlnn Poll and found her not at home. Ho concluded to go in. wait for her, and" If an opportunity occurred possibly he might put in practice Sforza's advice. He told the maid that ho would re ins in awhile; possibly Rlgnorlnu Poll would soon return. The maid left him iu the living room. A door leading to the lx-d-rooms of the apartments stood open, and Park was tempted to make an ex ploration, lie went Into a room where there was a closet. He found the lat ter locked. Remembering Sforzn's words about this, he paled. Another door led to another room In the rear. i This door, too, was locked. Park went back Into the living room nnd in a few minutes called the maid and told her he would not wait longer. The American had crossed the Rubi con and had entered the land of secret methods. lie had become a spy on the woman he loved. Obtaining some skeleton keys, he watched for Slgno rlnn Poll to go out, entered her apart ments In her absence and, unlocking both the doors that had barred his way, looked Into the closet and the rear room. He wns thunderstruck. There were disguises of various kinds, including wigs, spectntios and other parapherna lia, while on n dressing table stood articles for making up, such ns are used by nctors. Could his love be nn actress? What ever she was, he realized that she would be a dangerous person to take home to Anieiicn as his wife. lie had learned the first part of what ho wish ed to know. For the second part whnt these disguises meant he would consult his friend Sforza. He found him the next afternoon on the side walk In the Piazza Colonna. "Well," said Albert when they met. "I have followed your advice." "What did you dud?" asked the other in nn Indifferent tone. , Disguises." "Did you And any furs?" asked Sfor za, betraying some Interest. "Why, yes; I noticed n fur coat." "Any thin tropical wear?" "No." F.forzu sipped bis wine and said no more. "What does It all mean?" asked Al bert. "How should I know? One thing Is patent the lady has deceived you, or at least kept something from you in whh h she Is engaged. You must not see her again." Albert groaned. "I must pi," said Sforza, emptying his glass. "I will see you later." "You have no explantlon of what these (li onises mean'.'" "None whatever." Albert sal for awhile where he wns. then came to a sudden resolution. He would go to Signorlna Poll, tell her what he knew and hear what she had to say. If her explanation was not satisfactory be would take the next vessel sailing from Naples or Genoa for America. Rising, be crossed the Corso nnd, after walking n short ills Innce, entered a street lending to the Spanish steps. In this street were Slgnorlmi Poll's apartment. lie wns Hearing them when he saw his lady love pmerge from the house, a cara bineer on each side of her. They took her to a carriage standing before the door nnd got In with her. Albert reach ed the house as the carriage rolled nwny, nnd one of the cnrablnlerl, look ing through the window, waved his hand to him. Great heavens!' The man wns Gio vanni Sforza. There were no more meetings In the Plazzn Colonna. but Park went to the headquarters of the carnblnlerl nnd naked for Giovanni Sforza. Thero wns no such name on the roster, but Albert found his man In the full uniform of a carabineer. "You used me." said Albert, "to gnln information of ouo you wero shadow ing." "I did." Raid the other coolly. "Well, now that I have found you out, perhaps you will tell me who Is Signorlna Poll?" "I do not know except that she is wanted by the Russian government." "Can I see her before she leaves?" "She lias already gone." "Where?" "To St. retersburg, but I fancy she will go from there to Siberia." Park turned ou his heel and walked away without a word of adieu to hit former friend. lie, the American, bat nurer bexm the same man since. i TRADE REVIEW FOR THE WEEK Bsltarmen! of Coid-tions B2 conias iu A.I.
