Family Troubles to the Double Crime
NJ TmNnmnA.


Tacoma. WASH. May 17.-While Mrs.
Louis Mccarthy was returning home
from St. Leos church yesterday. she was
shot through the brain by her husband,
John Arthur Mccarthy, who, after the
shooting of his wife. turned the weapon
against himself and committed suicide.
Mrs Mccarthy died at st. Josephs hos
pital at 3 o'clock and Mccarthy an hour
later at the Fannie Paddock hospital.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccarthy have been l!v-
ing apart for some time. In one of his
pockets was found a letter from his wife
stating she was sick and could not go
down town to see him. She hoped he
would recover his health and said they
would always be friends though 1t was
best for them not to see each other. His
wife's refusal to see him undoubtedly
prompted the shooting.
Mccarthy was 81 years old and belong
ed to the Order of Railway Conductors,
and had been yard master OF the Northern
Pacific at Sprague and Spokane. Last
wear he worked for the Southern Pacific
in California, where he had gone for his
health His wife was two years younger.

at Akrotiri almost under the eyes Of

The necessity Of removing the Turk
tsh troops from the Island becomes
more and more imperative. Nothing
else will convince the Cretans of Eu-
ropes sincerity. II may be regarded
as certain that they will even prevent
the departure of the Greek army by
force until the Turks have gone. There
Is no time to be lost. 1t is impossible
that Greece and Turkey could long
support the armies they have mobll-
ized. Either may prefer provoking
struggle to seeing its troops starve.
The sultan should be induced to make
a voluntary recall of his troops. Greece
might then be willing to recall Colonel

The Limited Debate on the Now Tariff
Bill Formally Opened.

Bill Formally Opened.
Washington. March 22.-The program
of the tariff debate, which opened in
the house today. is simple. but ardu-
Gus. They will sit from 10 o'clock In
the morning until Ii o'clock at night,
with recess from until each day
for dinner. The general debate will
close Thursday night. Beginning Fri
day the bill will be read for amend
ment under the five minute rule until
3 o'clock on the following Wednesday,
March 81, when the bill and pending
amendments will be voted upon. The
committee on ways and means, by tho
terms of the special order under which
the house will operate, will have the
right of way in the matters of amend
ments, and such amendments can at
any time supercede pending amend
ments Of individual members, a pro.
vision made to give the committee the
fullest power to perfect their bills
The debate was opened by Mr.. Ding
ley, the chairman Of the ways and
means, for the majority. Either Mr..
Bailey, of Texas, the selected leader
of the minority, or Mr.. McMillin, of
Tennessee will reply. Mr. Bailey has
rendered to Mr.. Mcmillan this privilege
in Difference to his long service on the
ways and means committee, but it Is
not yet decided whether the latter will
avail himself of the proffer. The night
sessions of the house during the gen.
eral debate will be given UP almost
entirely to set speeches by new mem
bers, who desire to get their views in
The Congressional Record for the ben
eft Of their constituents.
When the Wilson bill was under con-
slderation the time at the night ses-
sions was not consumed, and there is
likely to be a repetition of lack of
speakers on this occasion, as members
under the order are given leave to
print and many of bem will take ad-
vantage of this OPP 'rtunity, without
taking the floor.
The senate will devote the major
portion of the week to the consider
alton Of the Anglo American arbitra-
ton treaty. If the appropriation bills
which have passed the house as they
were agreed upon in the last session
should be reported to the senate they
probably will receive prompt atten-
ton. There is possibility that these
bills may not be taken up Immediately
In committee, owing to the absence Of
some committee members.
