by Coburn for several thousand dollars in O

some time, as the authorities would become
aware that money was being paid out whore
none was paid in. The local postofIlce
here did soon discover just this condition
OF things. 1t was learned that there was
crooked business somewhere, but the thing
was not fastened on Coburn at first. The
net was drawn around him very skifully,
however, until tho authorities had sufi-
cient evidence on which to arrest him.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept 3-1he conference

junction. The convention, while adjourning
sine die, has merely postponed action on
the matters before 1t for three weeks. Us a
call for a similar conference, to be held in
Chicago, Monday, Sept. ~, was issued. and
committee was appointed to make arrange
ments for it. Mr. Debs and the Social De-
mocracy dominated the convention, and the
famous labor leader carried the gathering
off its feet In one Of his characteristic
speeches. A resolution, introduced by Mr..
Mahon Of Detroit, calling upon all miners
now at work to desert their posts. and term
ing them enemies OF human liberty SO
long as they remained on duty, was adopted.
Mr.. Mahon had another resolution prepared
asking the convention to call for 100 volun-
teers to go into the town OF PocahOntas Va,
on the 18th OF September, and there hold
public meeting In "deflance of the mayor Of
that city, who had set himself up in opposi-

The convention appealed to all union la.
Dor men to contribute their earnings on Sep

resolution was adopted boycotting the Ar
mour packing house in Kansas City. An
appeal to the president to convene Congress
to settle the injunction was adopted. Presi-

ference in Columbus, o., between the mine
workers executive board and Manager
Young Of NJ. A. Hanna 4 Co., to settle the
strike at once. and Debs' radical speech ad-
vocating series OF radical meetings to
overturn the government by injunction, were
the features OF the session.

READING, Pa, Sept. 3-The Democratic
state convention, just held here, was a wild
scene OF confusion, scraps and knockdowns,
not hKurative, but literal. The Academy Of
Music was packed. Clackers, shouters and
hitters were stationed all about the audito-
rum near the stage In anticipation OF war;
BY u vote OF IS to 26 the state committee
had passed a resolution requesting the
resignation Of National Committeeman Will

Word was passed along the line that Phila-

during the rollcall that the rioting began.
Chairman Ermentrout ruled against the poll

egate Lenehan rushed to the front demanding
fair play. Peter ). Hughes Of Philadelphia
seconded Lenahan's motion. No notice was
taken OF this, and IS OF the Luzerne dele

rushed ut the chairman and seized his gavel.

moniumof noise Two anti-Harrity dele

across one OF the reporters tables, and two
policemen hustled him out OF side door.

clambered to the stage, and one drew re-
volver. An old man was hurled into
the chairs and 1t required the joint ef-
forts OF Manager Mishler and Chairman
Garman to unscrew seat to get him out.
Free fights took place in half dozen spots
on the stage. Chairman Garman's silk hat
was smashed. clothes were torn. collars torn
of and neckties telescoped. The dividing
rope was torn away and tables upset in the
mslee. In the midst Of the terrific struggle
Manager Mishler turned off the stage lights.
Then the cry arose from half-dozen suggers
"You want harmony. do youp Wolf, thon.
take it," and dull thuds were heard in sew
eral corners. Finally Chairman Ermen-
trout In loud voice declared u re-
cess until 3 o'clock, but the scrapping
was continued In the streets and
saloons, though Chief of Police Albrecht with
big squad OF men, took possession Of the
stage. When the convention reassembled Mt

hall had been REINFORCED, and there were
other evidences Of prepare ions to prevent
repetition OF the disgracetul scene that
brought the morning session to close.
Chairman Ermentrout announced that the
offending secretary, John T.. Murphy Of
Philadelphia. would be excluded from the
stage. After that there was only wordy
warfare.

BOSTON. Mass, Sept. 2-Lucien Lesna
the European long-distance champion OF '96,
has proved his right to pose ~ Il champion
In ~ by defeating j. Il. ank Stnrbuck of
Philadelphia In u 25-mile mnt.h race In
Charles River park. Lesna also secured the
American paced competitive records from
to 25 miles, inclusive, lowering the majority of
records created by his old-time ! iva, Jimmie
Michael, on Manhattan Beach the previous
week. Lesna rode finely throughout, his
pacemakers working in unison with him,
and the entire Lesna outfit showing the best
of work as result OF long and faithful
practice work. Nothing could have been
prettier than their pick-ups, which were
without single flaw, u fact which gave
Lesna ut different times an advantage over
his opponent. The clever Frcnchman showed
that he could follow pace. just us well aud
as gracefully as does Michael, for he was a
ways close to tho rear wheel OF his PAGERS,
and at times 1t really looked as though the
two tires met. Lesna. showed better form
and judgment than he has been given the
credit OF possessing, and rode his race
with his head, as well as with his legs.
Twice, ut least 1t really looked as though
his opponents pace cut him Off too quickly
ut the pole, and more than one opponent at
the press box expected to see him and his
PAGERS take fearful tumble. 1t was IL
grand, good race from start to finish, and
tho Frenchman has the honor OF not only
the first race in America. but also
OF capturing numerous American records.

COLD FLOODED MURDER.
Farmer Shot in Presence Of Family
Possibly POachers.

KILLINGWORTH, Conn.,, Sept. 2-One
OF the most cold-blOoded murders that has
been committed In this state OF late, has just
taken place In the little hamlet OF Rockland,
situated In the northeastern limits OF this
town. The, victim Is Burton L. Hotchkiss u
young married farmer, aged 25, who was
almost instantly killed ut his home by
an unknown person, who fired loaded
shotgun through an open window. There Is
no clue to the perpetrator. 1t Is thought the
deed was committed In revenge for some
grievance fancied or real, rs no attempt was
made at robbery. The farm on which Hotch-
kiss lived is owned by E. N. Hubbard of Mid
dletown, who had converted 1t into a
well-stocked game preserve, and 1t Is
surmised that Game Warden HOtchkiss in
Cured the enmity OF some poacher. The
house is situated on lonely road, nearly
quarter OF mile from any other residence
and afforded an excellent opportunity for
the murderer to escape, though every effort
will be made to effect his capture. At the
time of the shooting Hotchkiss was sitting
on a sofa playing an ACCORDION, and four
year-old daughter was .nding In front OF
him. His wife was sitting ut the opposite side
ofthe room and was just putting the child to
bed. The murderer placed the gun upon the
sill OF the open pantry window, directly in
range OF Hotchklss, and fired. The concus.
sion extingutshed the lamp in the room, and
when Mrs. H0tchkiss had sufficiently recov-
cred from the shock to procure another light.
she found that her husband had expired He
uttered one groan and died almost Instantly.

That Is How the Roberts Child rem

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 3-The Roberts
Patten case, which has been engaging the
attention Of New England the past week,
is concluded. 1t was IN attempt Of Mrs.
Patten to obtain the custody OF her
flve-year- old twins by her former hus-
band, DIR. Percy w. Roberts. DR.. Rob-
erts had the children and fought to re-
tain them. The decree gives Mrs. Patten
the children for nine months ofthe year and
DIR. Roberts their custody for the other three
months, both parents being allowed to see the
children at all reasonable times. The case has
been high spiced and salacious enough to
keep the courtroom packed principally with
"ladies." The testimony brought out the
facts that both DR.. Roberts and Mr..
John Owen Patten were tired OF
their respective wives and neglected them.
The latter talked the matter coolly over with
his wife and they agreed that the husband
should pay all the attention he desired to
Mrs. Roberts lin fact Mrs. Patten conspired
to throw them together) and then give cause
for divorce. Everything was carried
out according to program. Both the
Roberts and the Pattens were divorced and
Patten and Mrs. Roberts we're married next
day. DR.. Roberts tried to prove adultery on
the part OF the others, but I've Judge ruled
that there had been nothing rminal. Pat
ten dragged his present wife's name in the
mud by testifying that he had tried to
seduce her before he married her but that
she repulsed his advances.
