FOR THE FUNERAL.
Prihce George viii Not BE Able to
Attend

LONDON, Jan. IS. - The arrangements
made for n public and semi-military pro-
cesson through London, to escort tho re-
mains of the duke of Clarence from the
Great Eastern to tho Southwestern railway
station, was changed i'll consequence of the
general epidemic of influenza prevailing
here. Upon hearing the views OF the au-
thorities. who made no concealment OF
their fears that the exposure of the troops
would probably result in II general attack
of the influenza, the prince of Wales I'M
mediately gave orders that the projected
military funeral be abandoned. The prince
of Wales is showing the greatest solicitude
that the members OF court should not be
exposed to any unnecessary risk which the
procession through London would entail.
and which would be certain to seriously
affect tho health OF many aged courtiers.
Tt was deemed that the health of Prince
George of Wales was not sufficiently robust
to allow his exposing himself in any way,
and the prince of Wales decided that he
would not be allowed to attend his brothers
funeral

REAFFIRMED BY POWER.
The Commodore Sticks to His Irrigation


The Commodore Sticks to His Irrigation
Speech.
Chicago, Jan 1S.--United States Senator
Power, of Montana, who stopped over
here on his way to Washington, makes no
secret of his opposition to Justice Field,
for the reason that he thinks the justice is
using his influence to put men friendly to
railroad companies on the bench. Power
said in regard to this matter that at the
great irrigation convention at Salt Lake
City the Field men showed up their hands
by fayoring plans of the segregation of arid
lands. ''In other words, in sixteen arid
lands from the government and give them
to the several states. California has had
experience of that kind, and she is virtually
controlled to-day by the railroads. The
Northern Pacific controls about l7ooo,o0o
res out Of 90,000000 acres of our mineral
and arid lands, and we can't afford to let a
judge give decisions in favor of segregation
and giving these land owners an emporium
ity to make Il huge political machine out
of the IRRIGATION scheme

War Maps Of Chill.

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.What may be regarded
as significant incident was the receipt at
army headquarters to-day of large num-
ber Of maps. They were taken from sur
veys made in 1889, and are said to show the
exact position of every fortified spot along
the Chilian coast. Gen. Miles declined to
discuss the Chilian affair or the receipt of
the maps. One of his aides, Capt. Maus.
said Valparaiso was we'll fortified, but. IN
his opinion, the guns of our largest war
vessels could silence the batteries Of the
city in short time. Capt. Maus said that
the maps were sent merely that the officers
might become acquainted with the situa-
ton, and that army officers all over the
Chilian strength.

Daniel Dougherty was born in Phila-
delphia, December IL, 1926. While a

father married again. 1t was then

CHicGoo's TRAGEDY.
The Police Mako u Raid Which Results
In u Terrible Tragedy.

| In n Terrible Tragedy.
CHICAGO, Sept 1.-Two dead men,
one of them millionaire; one mortally
wounded. and an opeI question rs TO
whether Chicago's mayor or its chief of
police is a wilful perjurer are yester-
days result of the attempt to close the
Garfield park race track.
The dead are: James NJ. Brown. of
Fort Worth, Tex, prominent western
turf man, shot through the right breast
and lower portion of face. and John
Powell, police officer, shot through the
mouth; Henry Mcdowell, police officer,
shot in the abdomen. fatally wounded.
Both officers fell before Browns revolv-
CIR, one being instantly killed and the
other is dying in the hospital.
Who killed Brown is not exactly
known. Nobody saw the actual shoot
ing of Powell and Mcdowell. and when
Brown was slain u dozen officers were
firing ut him, including Mcdowell,
who, notwithstanding the fact that his
life was ebbing fast, raised himself upon
his elbow and fired repeatedly at the
man who had laid him low.
1t was shortly after o'clock when
the police, commanded by Inspector
Lewis, appeared at the gates to mako
the third raid upon the park in ODE
dience to warrants taken out by Thon-
as w. Insor There was no delay in
gaining admittancc and in moment
seven wagonloads of officers rolled rap
idly down the track TO the grand stand.
A panic seized the people in the grand
stand at the sight of the blue coats and
men and women made wild breaks for
liberty.
The police paid no attention to tho
fleeing spectators, bat quickly sur
rounded the betting ring and the judges
stand, and the officials of the track who
could be found were placed under arrest
and detachment of officers was then
sent to the stables to gather in the
grooms and Jockeys. They had, for the
most part, taken the alarm and escaped.
Attention was then turned to the pco-
pie who scampered over the grounds
singly and in numerous squads and
were making their way toward the
exits. Only one man, who was too fat
to run. was captured, and another move
was made toward the stables.
AS the officers approached J. NJ. Brown,
the wealthy turfman, owner of Bobby
Beach, G. w. Johnson, the sensational
two-year-old, and other first-class horses,
was standing on the roof OF one of the
stables watching the police pursue the
people. With him stood Bob Rice. an
other we'll known racing man. Brown
had repeatedly said during the former
raids on the park that he would allow
no man to arrest him as long as he had
not violated the law. and that if u
policeman attempted him he would kill
or be killed before he was dragged 20
the police station. Powell and Mellow
ell approached the shed and the former
hailed Brown pleasantly, asking him to
come down.
Brown refused To come down and
when Powell sealed the roof started to
run. Powell followed and fired at him
when Brown turned and shot Powell
dead. Officer Mcdowell then gave
chase and grappled with Brown who
also shot and mortally wounded him.
Meantime Brown was surrounded by
police who were shooting at him and
he, too, soon fell dead.
