WAYLAID AND SHOT
BERTRAM r. ATWATER, A CHICAGO
ARTIST, KILLED BY HIGHwAYMEN.
trOthed i'm n st. Louis suburb
When Attacked.

WEBSTER GROVE, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Ber-
tram E. Atwater, well-known artist, of
No. 151 Wabash avenue, Chicago. was shot
and killed by highwaymen in Webster
Grove at s O'Clock last evening He ar
rived in this village on train from ST.
Louis at o'clock and employed a young
man, Cotton Schmidt, to carry a vaiise.
Two men stopped him on the way, pre-
sented pistols and ordered him to hold up
his hands. Instead of obeying the order,
Mr. Atwater. who had his pistol in his
hand, fired a shot at one of the men. The
'highwaymen fired several shots and Atwater
fell dead on the sidewalk. Schmidt was
also wounded.
Mr.. Atwater was coming here to visit his
.betrothed when waylaid. One Of the rob-
bers. John Smith, wounded by the plucky
Chicagoan, will probably die. The other.
Samuel Foster, colored ex-convict, who
fired the fatal shot, and Peter Smith, who
arranged the trap into which Mr. Atwater
was unsuspectingly lured and then slain,
are in custody. While the inquest was be-
ing held to-day citizens of the village be-
came so enraged that it was with the great
est difficulty that cooler heads could re-
captive highwaymen from the officers and
hang them. Both the Smiths, who are
cousins, have confessed as TO the part taken
by each in the crime. Peter, who volun-
teered to carry Atwater's valise from the
station admits that he led the latter to
his fate.
Genevive Orton, Atwater's fiancee, is al
most prostrated with grief. The wedding
is said to have been set for an early date,
and the object of Mr.. Atwater's visit last
night was TO talk over some of the pre-
liminary arrangements.
Later.-This afternoon Sam Foster and
Peter Schmidt mot Smith, as previously
given) We're taken islJdsr guard TO the office
of Justice Prehmaf,s where an inquest was
held over the remains OF Atwater While
the inquest was in progress Foster and
Schmidt made sensational attempt to
escape by jumping from a window of the
court room, but they were quickly recap
tured. Their attempt TO escape and the
confession of Schmidt infuriated the crowd
that had gathered. The officers in a wagon
started to take the two men 10 place of
safety, and the mob closed in and at
tempted to lynch them. About twenty-five
shots were fired, one of which wounded
Schmidt in tTIe back. The horses reared up
and broke away from the mob, which num-
bered about sixty-five men, none OF whom
was masked. Constable Fieldson, after
much difficulty, landed his charges in jail
at the Four Courts at ST. Louis.

ITHACA, N. Y, Jan. A.-The Cornell lady
students do not mean to abandon their
hopes to establish a crew here, even though
the Athletic Council has refused to take
official cognizance of the project. At Sage
College this morning a reporter was told
that steps were in progress to have a crew
regardless of the councils action. Miss A
Keller, who is one of the most prominent
workers for the woman's eight, has Just
received long letter from Lucille Eaton
Hill, director of physical training at Welles-
ley College. Massachusetts, in which Miss
Hill strongly indorses the movement on foot
here. She writes: II also forward photo

Nashville on account OF a turf fraud you
committed there. President Clarke. of the
Louisville club, wanted to rule you off for
your crooked practices there, and warned
you off the turf, and you had TO leave
town." The trouble grew out of the charge

hit Ramapo over the head with his whip
After the race Gideon said ne was in an
open stand in front of the club. and there
were seventy-five persons present when
Dwyer insulted him. The jury found for

night to talk about home. 1t was the

Marcy, George French, George Sabre, DIR.
William II. White, jerome j. Perry and

their coming from the Green Mountains
to the shores OF Narragansett Bay was
Rhode Islands gain. Hon. III. Henry
Powers, Cong ressman from Vermont, made
a hit and aroused enthusiasm at the out
set with the statement that he brought
the greetings Of the old folks at home.
Judge Powers is a bright speaker; and, bet
ter yet, in looks and words and manners,
he is as kind and genial as any man who
ever responded to an after dinner toast.
He made the guests feel as IL they were at
one of the big family gatherings in the
old Vermont homestead, which he allud-
ed to SO lovingly and described so graph
ically.
Colonel Albert Clark, a native OF ver-
mont, but now, as everyone knows, the

hills for his theme. Ii was not the occa-
sion, he said, for tariff statistics, but a
home party on the one night Of the year
dedicated to lovers; therefore, he told Of
the poets that'had been born in Vermont,
and read the verses which had been in
spired by the beauty of the mountains.
Colonel John C.. Wyman, who declares
that he Is only a captain, rs usual fur
nished the leaven OF wit and told some
good stories, not neglecting, however, to
express himself seriously on Vermont and
the great Union Of which Vermont was a
part in words that had the genuine ring
of truth and patriotism.
Mr.. Elmer r. Silver Of the Vermont So
ciety of Boston was the last speaker and
his words were of congratulation on the
growth OF the Rhode Island organization.

naval affairs for two hours yesterday, go

features of naval appropriations. The sec

and foreign countries.
They disclosed thai the United States is
now able to build better ships at less cost
han any country In the world, save Great
Britain. and the latter country is but
slightly ahead. It was also made evident
that the cost OF building w~arships in the
United States had been greatly reduced in
recent years.
Mr.. Herbert was questioned by Chair
man Boutelle and others of the committee
concerning the need of additional battle
ships, torpedo boats, etc. The secretary
made 1t clear that he desired the largest
allowance for the various classes of vessels
that congress felt warranted in giving, but
he did not fix exact limits on the number
OF ships, although 1t was the general un-
