ULIUS LEniMANN FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE IS UNDER ARREST Former Delogate Captured Last Night on Natural Bridge Road. DEPUTY DWYER CAUGHT HIM TOLD THE OFFICER THAT HE IN- | TENDED TO SURRENDER. Arrest Any Time Later Than Tomor- row Meant His Imprisonment in Penitentiary—Is Convict- ed of Perjury. Former Delegate Julius Lehmann, fugi- tive on charges of bribery and under sen- tence on conviction of perjury, was cap- tured at 11:45 o’clock last night by Deputy Sheriff’ Thomas E. Dwyer, on Natural Bridge road, three blocks west of Grand avenue, and is now in jail at the Four Courts. There is a reward of $300 for Lehmann’s capture. Dwyer saw Lehmann walking along, ap- parently in the direction of his home at 3817 North Twenty-third street, and ar- rested him. Lehmann made no objection to arrest, saying that he was on his way to surrender, but desired to pass the night at his home. He asked the deputy for the privilege of spending the night at home. He was per- valtted to do so, being guarded throughout he night by Dwyer. Whether Lehmann intended surrend6ring he was caught just in the nick of time to ‘save himself from going forthwith to the penitentiary in case of his arrest at any ‘time later than tomorrow. That is the date set for his appearance before the Supreme Court on his appea/ from the Circuit Court, which sentenced him to serve two years in the penitentiary on conviction of perjury before the grand- jury. Appeal Would Have Been in Vain. Had he not appeared the Supreme Court tomorrow would have affirmed the lower court’s finding and Lehmann would have been committed to prison immediately upon capture, without further right of appeal.- John A. Gernes, attorney for Lehmann, said last week that he thought the fugi- tive would appear at Jefferson City Tyes- awe 9:% ,o’clock this morning Deputy Sherif Dwyer and his prisoner lert the Léiriatin heme and started for the Four A Hebert and Twenty-second streets they took an Bighteénth street car. — The walk to the street car was replete with incident. A block west of his home Lehmann saw in a buggy Dr. Otto Forster. The doctor “ecognized the fugitive. ‘“¥fello, Julius,”’ he called. “Hello, doctor,” returned Lehmann. @everal other acquaintances accosted him with greeting and eyed him with cu- riosity. On each side of the street many persons saw him from their windows and a num- ber went out to the sidewalk to get a closer view of the man that put the lights on the water tower. Everybody in that part of the city knows “Whistling Yulius. Lehmann looked worried at first, and it was observed that his oldtime joviality of manner wa3 entirely absent. He was not the folly Julius of old. ‘Wonted Good Humor Gone. He did not grest nis old acquaintances with his wonted good humor. Two or three men commented upon the fact that his mustache seemed to have taken on new streaks of gray. Dan Schreiber, a Republican ward poll- ticlan and friend of the prisoner, accom- panied him a part of the way on the strect car. Mr. Schreiber said, on parting, that he would see Lehmann later in the, day. “Bee my lawyer, John Gernez,” said Leh- mann. when the Post-Dispatch asked about his bond, during the cartrip. A little later, however, Teamann warmed up and talked. A goodly portion of his jollity returned, ‘with something of the merry twinkle in ‘his eyes. He Expects to Stay in Jail. “IT have not arranged any bond,"’ he said, “and have not asked anybody to go on my bond. I expect to stay in jail. “I have never had any intention of run- hing away. S&t. Louls ia my home. Al! my interests are here, and I can’t leave. I just didn’t want to go to jail. .I wanted to Keep out of jatl as long os possible, and that's why I didn't surre oder sooner. “I was not out of the city at all, and was pot far away at any time.’’ Lehmann intimated, without saying it, that he might have visited his home during his fugitive days. Later he said: “I was out of the city, too, at the time of the indictment, on a fishing trip. I heara of the indictment and concluded I'd just stay fis for a while longer and finish my eport,.I got through fishing and came into the city.” ' ‘ Lehmann said that last night before his arrest he passed a policeman in the ful! giare of a street lamp and was not recog- nized, apparently. Policeman Shea of the Fifth district, who has been assigned to watch Lehmann’s house a part of the time, boarded the car on the way down He appeared to be much disgusted to find Lehmann in custody of another man. _.

MISS. MULHALL IN PONY RACE BADLY INJURED Hoof of Running Pony Struck Her Ankle, KNOCKED HER TO THE GROUND HORSES RAN OVER HER AND SHE WILL BE LAID UP FOR WEEKES. Daring Girl, Daughter of the General Livestock Agents of the ‘Frisco, Who Has Lived All Her Life Among Horses and Has Never Been Hurt. BY ROSE MARION. The pony relay race was on at the Fair Grounds track Sunday afternoon. Fif- teen thousand persops in clubhouse, grand- stand and field saw the start. Casually they glanced at two of the riders, Pat Berry and Jim Harmon, cowboys, wearing red shirts, but with interest they looked at the slender figure of Lucille Mulhall, clad in a dress of tan cloth, who was the third rider. They saw the mustangs and their riders gallop towards the quarter, where fresh horses awaited them. Away over near the quarter they seemed like two bits of red and a touch of tan on things that went. One red was ahead, the other behind. The onlookers, remembering the girlish face of the rider, wished that the tan might lead. Almost in answer to their wishes the tan did forge ahead, but just as it did so away it went from the black thing that bore it, and down it fell to the ground. Over it seemed to dash the men with the red shirts and the animals they rode. Borne to the Clubhouse. For a second no one spoke in the crowd. There was no sound but that of sighs. Those who looked remembered that ‘this was real and not a play. They feared that the girl rider was dead. Then assistants rushed to the field and bore her to the clubhouse. That was the way things seemed from the grand stand. How they really happened ae told to me this morning by Miss Mul- “We were almost at the first quarter. One of the boys was ahead. I ts, in the middle. It was time for us to change horses. I made ready to change, but just as I was ready to jump the boy back of me came up. e hoof of his horse struck my ankle. “I fell to the d. Then a policeman came and picked me up. All the time he meet saying. ‘Don’t faint.” I-@dn’t. ‘1T did not know how seriously I was hurt. I sup- poets that I would be able to ride again in he lassoing contest.”’ Miss Mulhall's ankle is not broken, but its muscles a ] ents are torn and twisted so that she will be compelled to remain in bed for several days and will not be abie to walk naturally for three weeks. In the accident she lost her diamond brooch. dia- mond bracelet and two medals set with d@’a- monds, but their loss does not bother her nearly so much as the fear that she may not be able to go to the San 'Tone fair, where she was to lead the band next week. Mise Mulhall has ridden horses since rhe was a baby and has never had an acci- dent. No one taught her to ride. “she just learned by herself,”’ said her father, Zach ulhall, who is very proud of his baby girl. She was born out on his Oklahoma ranch and most of her life has been lived on the plains. One year she wasastudentat the Vis'ta- tion Convent in St. Louts, while for another she was with the nuns of St. Joseph down in Oklahoma. She is only 16 years old. Loves Horse Better Than Anything. She loves horses as she loves no other things. ‘Petit Maitre’’ is her own horse, ami his picture done In colors hangs above her Just at present he is suffering from a hurt similar to that of his mistress. The muscles and tendons of one of his feet are torn and strained. Her muscles are ag hard as those of men in training, and she has always been so safe with horses that her own sisters were perlgps the least alarmed persons at.the Fair Grounds Sun- day when the accident occurred. They couldn't. believe that she was hurt. They er.pected every minute to see hr get up and go on with her ride. hen they went to her she begged them to go and ask her father to postpone the potato race to the last event so that she might be well enough to tako part. Her mother is down on the ranch, but wil] likely come to &t. Louls to nurse her daughter. Her father teases her by asking, “What will your mother say when she hears you let a horse hurt you?” CAMPBELL IS IN NEW YORK Employes at the Broker’s Office Say They Do Not Know When He Will Return, At the office of Broker James Campbell this afternoon, it was said that Mr, Camp- bell was in New York City, and it was not known definitely when he would return.

COAL BARONS ARE IN COUNCIL Meeting to Be “Productive of Important Results,’’ MORGAN PLANS STRIKE END THE PRESIDENT IS NOW CONSID- ERING THE QUESTION. It: Embraces the Calling of Another Conference and the Laying of the Proposal Before the Mine Union Leaders. NEW YORK, Oct. 13..-At noon today a conference of the representatives of the coal roads assembled in the office of Chair- man Thomas of the Erie. President Trues dale of the Delaware, Lackawanna & West- ern, wher he arrived, said: “A conference Is to be held and it will be an important one. It will be productive of important results.”’ The conference in Mr. Thomas’ office lasted a little more than one hour. When the participants dispersed they declined to make any statement as to what had trans- pired. MORGAN PLANS TO END STRIKE Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—The net. result of the conference »etween Seccetury Root and J. F.. Morgan last Saturday is thds: The operators may try to break the strike by offering a net increase of 6 to 10 per cent on the present contract price of min- ing. The union is to be totally ignored. The plan is of wider scope, that is the sub- stance. More broadly told.Mr. Morgan suggested: First—That the miners immediately re- sume work pending arbitration by a tribu- na] satisfactory to both parties. Becond—That this tribunal should con- sist of either Mr. Morgan or Mr. Perkins. acting as his representative on behalf of the operators; John Mitchell, representing the miners and either Cardinal Gibbons or ee Ireland as independent mem- rs. Mr. Root took this program to peas ag ton and laid it before the President, who is now considering it. The plan suggests that the President should make another request of the oper- ators for a conference; that the President should then propose to them a new basis of action upon lines to be suggested by Morgan, who would see to it that the oper- ators yielded immediately.

HAILSTONES Ut PECULIAR SHAPE May Have Fallen From a Snow Cloud. SCARE AT THE OLYMPIC FOR TOOK RATTLE OF HAIL CRACKLE OF FLAMES. Peoplé Would Have Rushed From the Theater Had Not Attaches Quelled Their Fears—Dr. Hyatt Can- not Account for It. The hailstorm which caused such con- sternation last night as it swept over St. Louis originatéd in the Rocky Mountains lasi Friday, according to Dr. Hyatt, the United States weather forecaster. The progress of the storm was foretold, espe- cially the rain; the hail wae not generally anticipated. It has been roughly estimated by a St. Loulsan with a statistical turn of mind, that as much ice fell on St. Louis in three minutes last night as would be consumed in the city in the hottest day of summer. Some of the stcnes were so heavy that they put serious dents in the derby hats of pedestrians who happened to be caught in the downpour. Hailstorms are not uncommon, but the unusual shapes the stones assumed in their descent Sunday night were very much out of the ordinary. Dr. Hyatt said this morn- ing: “They were very jagged and of irreg- ular formation. PECULIAR SHAPES. “One of my assistants picked up a stone fully two inches long. It did not have the customary oval shape, but was ex- tremely jagged. The only theory for this peculiarity is that the various currents of air through which the stones passed in their downward flight were the very ex- tremes of heat and cold. As they whirled through the warm belts of the storm they melted and a number were thrown togeth- er only to be welded into irregular and pe- cullar forms by the frigid belts. “The storm did not cover all of St. Iouls. Certain portions of the city, par- ticularly the northwest portion, where I live, had no hail at all. The stones fell with the most violence along the river and in the business districts nearby.”’ “Could you make an estimate of how many tons of ice fell over St. Louis dur- ing the three minues of the storm?” he wet could bai done,” h ered, cou ave n done,” he answ “by ascertain nt 3 ‘hail cov- ered the the gravity of ~e stones and the area F sened which they as ~~ Without doing is an estimate would be a guess.” Dr. Hyatt said that there was no con- nection between the hailstorm and the presence of the cumet which has been visible in St. Louls the last few nights. SCARE AT THE OLYMPIC. At the Olympic Theater there was almost a@ panic, and many would have rushed from the building had it not been for prompt action taken to dispel the fright by the attaches. Several wome fainted and scores left their seats, beliey- Ing that the crackling of the hailstones/o the roof was caused by fire on the e. Traffic was delayed during th The vestibules of = street closed. The breakage of residences and business houses was slight, however, as the wind was not high. The police estimate of the damage done is $10,000, but there is no estimating the fright it gave people who were in places of worship or amusement or exposed to its thumping assault. Scores of windows, skylights and glass coverings of hothouses were shatte b the heavy little pellets, which fell in suc abundance as to render the pavements slip pery and unsafe for 10 minutes sonew=e the storm. Umbrellas were destroyed dn birds which were caught out in the storm were killed by dozens before they could reach places of shelter. One firm of florists estimates its loss to buildings and flowers at $4000 and others state that theirs will no doubt reach as large a figure. The skylights of the Bertillon gallery at the Four Courts and those over the “‘bull pen’’ at the jail, and the windows of the jall kitchen storehouse, were shattered. ROVAL ATHLETE.
