BORN AUGUST 20, 1909

England has been celebrating Ten
nyson's passing into his eighty first
year. We in America are about to
congratulate our Olive Wendell
Holmes, the most versatile and love-
able of our writers whether in prose
or poetry, on the same vital achieve
ment. At fourscore our brilliant Eau
tocrat' is as fresh and brilliant as
the youngest wit of them all.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, poet, ply.
sician and humorist, was born Au-
gust 80, 1909. in Cambridge, Mass,
opposite the University buildings.
His father was pastor of the Firet
Congregational church of that place.
Mr.. Holmes graduated at Harvard in
1929, and adopting the medical pro-.
fession, completed his professional
studies in 1886. Up to 1917 he filled
the chair of Anatomy and Physiology
at Dartmouth; he then assumed
a similar professorship at Har-
ward. He continues in his re-
| tirement a resident of Boston.
His earliest work in verse was
in the form of contributions to the
Collegian, paper published by I'M
dergraduates at Harvard. The prob
lens created by the inter-dependence
of mind and matter have employed
DR.. Holiness pen, both as he is man
of science and as a literary man. In
his Currents and Under Currents in
Medical Science" and in Mechanism
and Morals" he deals with them from
the scientific, and in "Elsie Venner,"
a romance, from heertistic standpoint.
The Atlantic Mon thly had DR.. Holmes
among its founders and THE Auto
C; at of the Breakfast Table" appeared
first in the pages of that periodical
Several medical journals, the North
American Review and the Interna-
tional Review have been enriched by
contributions from the versatile doc
tor, whose works are almost innumer-
able. The apt sweetness of his senti-
mental verses is appreciated by all
readers of taste. DIR. Holmes revisit
ed england three years ago where he
was the most,honOred of the honored.

A Reign OF Terror and shot Guns
The State Troops Called Out.
The morning wires bring news of q
bloody emeute between the democra-
tic factions of Fort Bend county.
Four deaths, three fatal and several
serious shootings are the record up TO
date. Governor Ross has ordered out
the state troops and the Houston
Light Guards were on the ground
early this morning. The causes are
not difficult to understand. The ma
tive cussedness of the leaders of the
democratic party in Fort Bend coun-
ty had been abnormally developed
by several years unresisted shooting
and numbering of colored republic
cans. This fact had become so ap-
parent to the intelligent colored
voters of that county, and the
utter tutility of relief, from the
state had become so clear, that
last summer the colored voters of the
county resolved to keep away from
conventions, take no part in politics,
and give the shot gun brigade no
chance to pulia trigger on them. AS
a consequence it became a fight be-
tween the factions of the democracy,

his vote for the democratic Woodpeck-
er's candidate, as the Woodpecke r
party did not endorse negro assassina-
zion by wholesale. The Woodpecke r
candidates were elected and the Jay
birds found that they had got it IN the
neck and were worse off than when
the republicans controlled the country
for they had always given the dem
ocrats of both factions a show.
Then the fun began. The feeling
has grown in bitterness until it Gull
minated in the arrest of a Jaybird
yesterday afternoon, for carrying a
Winchester rifle through The streets
in threatening manner. This tlred
the Jay bird heart and in a short time
the fusilade opened on the officers OF
the law. Sheriff Jarvey and ex-Sher-
lift Biakely, planter, were killed and
the whole town was in an uprOar.
Some hundred shots were fired, sew
eral persons were seriously wounded
and four men and colored woman,
names unknown, are reported killed
in addition to the sherifts.

Will Run to Beat Her Record.

New YORK, August 17.-Maud S.
is to make an effort to smash her, as
yet, unbeaten record of 2:0S ga for
over a mile, which she accomplished
at Cleveland, in 1885. Robert Bon
ner, owner of the mare, in a talk with
reporter said: Maud S has been
sent to my farm at Tarrytown and
will at once be put into active work
for her trial. During the season
she has done little or no work
mainly on account of John Murphy's
illness and death. Have not yet de-
cided who shall drive her in the trial,
neither can say when the run will
be made, but the date will probably
fall in the latter part of September.
Hartford or Providence will likely be
the scene trial., when asked wheth-
or he believed Maud 5. would succeed
in her task, Mr.. Bonner replied: 81 am
confident she can lower her record all
the way from half second to sec
ond and half"

The Schroeder Inquest.

The question of the sanity or insan-
ity of George Schroeder was opened
before Judge Wurzbach yesterday
afternoon. The affidavit of Mr.. Rein
hold Becker is really in behalfof Mrs.
Schroeder and family and sets forth
the fact of his incapacity for business.
Mrs. Schroeder asks to be appointed
guardian of the estate. The petition
was contested by defendant through
his attorney and its allegations de-
MED.
Mr.. Becker testified to facts within
his own knowledge which led him to
believe that defendant was of unsound
mind. He had known defendant for
the past fifteen years and yet on one
occasion defendant was not able to
recognize him and looked as though
his brain was affected.
L. L. Moody, employed by defend
ant for eight years past, testified
that defendant paid no attention to
business, did not talk like a sane
man.
DR.. F. Herf had treated defendant
last March. At that time he seemed
to have chronic disease of the brain.
His brain was soft and his mind OBJ
fused from excessive use of alcoholic
stimulants.
Officer Mushall testified that he was
frequently under alcoholic influence
and unfit to attend to business.
Sidney B. Wood and VIM. Wurz-
bach also testified to the same facts.
Mr.. Becker testified that there was
no quarrel between himself and de-
PENDANT. Their families were on in
innate terms, but he believed defend
ant was not competent to attend to
business.
Up to the hour of going to press the
jury is out, and apparently hopelessly
unable to agree on a verdict.

The GunbOat Petrol.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Secretary
Tracy has ordered the ninth payment to be
made on account of the Petrol, small gun
boat now being constructed at Baltimore.
The total amount of payment would have
been S24, 100 made up of 600 on account
of the hull and $500 on account Of the
machinery, but reservation OF 1Oper cent.
is held back until the vessel is accepted;
and in addition penalties have been de
Quoted for the delay in construction beyond
the contract time, which, taken together,
reduced the amount of the ninth payment
to SiO,230.
The contractors have applied for an eX
tension OF the contract time, which, II
allowed. will in effect wipe out or reduce
the penalties. Action upon the application
is likely to be taken in day or Two. The
contractors have pleaded in eXtenuatiOn OF
their delay. a loss of time on account of the
steel deliveries which was caused by the
action of the government inspectors. Sec
retary Tracy is considering the en-
tire subject of penalties which have
accrued, not only in the case of the Petrol,
but upon nearly all of the vessels con-
stlucted or began under the last admin
istration He has been furnished with
statement showing the exact condition OF
each vessel and the probable time required
to complete those unfinished. He has the
action of Secretary Whitney in granting
an extension of time to contractors as a
precedent and should he disagree with his
predecessor as TO his power or the advis-
ability OF adopting a similar course. Con
tractors will doubtless appeal to the next
Congress for relief.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The long de-
ferred nomination of public printer will, it
is believed, be made to-day The names of
all the candidates were referred by the
President some days ago to Senator Man
derson, chairman of the printing committee,
with request that he inquire into their
respective qualifications for the place.
The list includes Messrs. Meredith, of
Illinois; Osborne of California; Donath,
of Pennsylvania; Valentine, OF Nebraska;
Childs, of Ohio; Helm, of Indiana; Davis,
of Maine; and Nichols, of North Caroline.
Senator Henderson referred the names in
turn to prominent Republicans in the
various states from which the candidates
come and when their replies were received
by him, he briefed them and handed them
over to the President Senator Henderson
made no recommendation, but contented
himself with simply carrying out the Presi-
dents wishes. 1t is difficult to tell who of
the number will be selected. 1t is not i'm
probable that an outsider as yet unnamed
may be taken up and given the place

Some Day, You Will Believe Ne.

Especial to THE HERALD---Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-There is con-
siderable speculation as to the English and
Mexican missions, but the names of the
new ministers are not definitely known
The President is inclined to give the Eng
lish mission. to the west and has asked
several Illinois politicians to name man
from that state. No one has yet been
named, however, who suits him. Some Of
Patrick Egan's friends have not altogether
abandoned hope that he will be sent to
Mexico, but it is not generally believed he
will. Congressman Ryan, of Kansas, is
strongly supported by the people Of his
section for the place, and his canvas rather
overshadows that of Ex-Governor Osborn
of the same state who, some think, will get
the appointment. The position OF minister
to Russia has been offered to Allen Thorn
dixie Rice of the North american Reuieu,
and accepted by him. This gives three
important foreign appointments to New
York with Reid to France and Grant to
Austria, and seems to preclude the posi-
bility that a New York man will get the
English mission,

The Inflated Conserya.

New YORK, March 37.-There is little
doubtnow that the Conserva is the Inflated
ship which struck the Virginia coast last
week with the wreckage of her timbers.
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary,
the Conserva was unseaworthy.
1t is said by the oiler who was engaged
for the trip, but who declined to go
after finding out the condition of
the vessel, that the boilers leaked, as also
cid her hull The Conservs had twenty
seven souls on board. Her crew was en-
tirely composed of southern half breeds and
Malays. Captain John Henry Ankers, who
has had long and somewhat checkered
career in West India waters, commanded
the ship. The other officers were: First
mate, Joseph Seerwood; second mate, John
Mccarthy; chief engineer, Charles Link
ham, of Brooklyn; first assistant engineer,
Charles st. Clair, and second assistant en-
gineer, Charles V. Elder. Carl Kunhardt,
expert yachtsman of New York, was also
on hoard
