A YOUNG HOMICIDE.
Freddie Pfiffne r
Shoots Little Harry
keiser.
The Shot, Fired in Fit Of Anger,
May Prove Fa-
tai.

Shortly before 6 o'clock last eve ming
Freddie Pfitfner in fit of anger shot
Harry KelSer, playmate, inf1icting a
fatal wound. Freddie is ten years old,
and lives with his parents at 703
East Seventh street. Yesterday
afternoon Harry Keiser, aged six
years and his brother Herbert,
three years younger. visited the Pfffner
house to spend the afternoon with
Freddie. There was no one at home
but Freddie, and the time was put in
by the three lads in the usual pastimes.
Young Pfiffner has a number of
pigeons, and while he was showing
his visitors the fowls dispute
arose. Pftfner went into the hou Sc
and, returning with 22-caliber rifle, an
nounced that he was going to shoot.
The eldest Keiser boy thought mis- play
mate was only joking, and paid
no attention to the threat. Pfiffner
took Jain at Harry Keiser and pulled
the trigger There was a sharp
crack, and an instant later the Keiser
boy fell to the ground with a bullet in
ran to the scene, and while one went
for policeman another ran for doc
tor. DR.. Amoss responded, and the
wounded lad was taken to the
home of his father, Edward Kei-
ser, at 667 North street. Pfffner
was handed over to an officer and locked
up at the Margaret street station. The
story of the shooting as given was
learned from the seven-year-o Keiser
boy, as Pfiffner refused to talk
even to his parents, who visited
the station last night. The doctor
probed for the bullet last night but
could not locate it. The bullet struck
the boy in the right breast two inches
below the collar bone, ,and it is supposed
to have passed through the right lung.
The chances for Keiser's recovery are
doubtful.

WILL BRING NO RELIEF.
Such Is the Opinion Of President
Andrews.

PROVIDENCE. X. T.. June 27.-Presi-
dent Andrews, of Brown university,
and who was one of the American dele
gates to the Brussels conference, in an
interview in regard to the action of the
Indian government stopping the free
coinage of silver, said:
''It is impossible that this scheme
should bring any relief to the silver
situation in England. 1t will make the
condition of foreign exchange a little
more stable as between the traders of
England and the big merchants and ex-
changes of Bombay and Calcutta. That
is to say, it will arrest the fall in the in-.
trinsic value of coin silver in India,
and give stability between the press
ent money of India, which is silver
and the gold money of England. But in
doing SO. it will cause a. break between
the value of Indian silver as money and
its value as bullion, just such as exists
between the silver money of the United
States and France and the corresponds
ing bullion. AS for America. 1 believe
this action will be fortunate. Silver
will drop in gold prices. and it may be
necessary to repeal the Sherman law. 1t
will then drop still more. and Great
Britain will then be forced to take con-
certed action with other nations"

nation of this last.act of the gold con-
Spirators. Prices will continue to fall
everywhere as gold rises. The end no
one can see. Every advantage will In
uTe to creditors and creditor nations.
England has set out to sSubdue the
world, not with arms, but with gold
by turning everything to gold.
IF this movements allowed to run
its course unchecked there will be fine
grinding before the mills are done. 1t
is movement big with revolutions, and
is sowing the seeds of anarchy. But
Will it be allowed to run its course?
That depends upon the United States.
If the United States allows England
forever to dictate her financial policy.
as she has done since the war, then we
must take the consequences. But if the
American people have any Independence
of character left they will not do s0{
and it should now be eyident
must finally act independently, The in
ternational conference has gone with
the stoppage of the mints Of India.
What is there left to do but for the
Western continent, under the lead Of
the United States. to unite and act IN
dependently. and establish a financial
system found upon equity and calculat-
ed to secure stability in value, and one
which will keep an even balance be-
tween the debtor and creditor, hot one
calculated to rob with impunity the
debtor for the benefit of the creditor.
"The gold standard, under this act of
England closing the mints of India, be-
comes more unjust standard than ever,
because gold will now increase in value
faster than ever before. A national
convention of the American Binetallic
League has already been decided upon
for the latter part of August at st. Louis
or Chicago. This plan will not be
changed unless congress should be
called together at an earlier date than
given out by the president"
Secretary Carlisle, in response to a
request to express his views on the
financial situation as affected by the
action of India on silver, politely de-
clined to say anything for publication,
and did not care to indulge in specula
tion as to the future.

Suspension of silver Coinage Ex-
planned to the Indian Council.


planned to the Indian Council.
SINILA, June 27.-In explaining to the
Indian council the bill providing for the
stoppage OF the free coinage of silver
and other monetary measures, the adop-
tion of which was announced yesterday,
the Marquis of Lansdowne, viceroy of
India, said he hoped the government
would not be criticised for disposing of
the important question at single
sitting. The keynote of the scheme
was rather to prevent further fall
in exchange than to raise the value
of the rupee. The fixing of the pro-
visiOnal rate of exchange at Is 4d pro-
vided an automatic means of preventing
the close OF the mints aud the violent
disturbing of exchange rates. The rate
of exchange had been fixed high
enough to relieve the government
of its most pressing necessities,
while it was within the lin
its of the recent fluctuations.
There should be no mistake, the vice.
roy said, about the facts. 1t was not
proposed to substitute gold for the sill
yer currency. No attempt would be
made at present to fix legal tender
price for gold. While the ratio of
Ydluo Was mentioned, IL was only pro-
visional. In conclusion, the vlceroy
expressed the governments sense of
the gravity of the step it was about to
take. Personally he was averse to all
attempts to give money commodities
fictitious value, but the time had ar
rived when to remain inactive was i'm
possible. The government would be
unworthy of the name if it left things
alone. 1t had not taken the momentous
step with light hearts. He hoped it's
action would be fruitful in good results,
and that sufficient reserve of gold
would be accumulated to make an eff
fective gold standard possible.
