KILLED BY A WOMAN.

San Francisco. May al. II. Williams
was shot and killed to-day at 2.ol9 Eagle
avenue. Alameda. by Mrs. William Gre
goire. who admits the murder but claims
she fired the fatal bullet to save the life
of her husband. The only witness of the
affair was Gregoire and his 6-year-old
son. They agree in the statement that
about IL o'clock this morning Gregoire
came home and found Williams In con-
versation with his wife. A quarrel ensued.
and, seeing that her husband was no
match for his opponent. Mrs. Gregoire
took a pistol and fired at Williams with
fatal effect. The news of the tragedy
was brought to the police station by Gre
goire. who ran in covered with blood and
stated that he had been engaged in a
fight at his home. Officers were sent to
the scene and on their arrival found Will
liams breathing his last. When the story
of the murder was first told IL was re-
ported that Mrs. Gregoire Intended the
shot for her husband. but this statement
cannot be confirmed.

The Alabama volunteers are organizing

the fact that militia companies belonging

their name and organization. The most of
these companies have not more than ~

To the regulation number of 20.

the finest bodies of troops the South will

Of the magnitude Of the charges against

a new precedent is to be established in

There is a powerful secret and political

Press Censorship.

~RESS censorship in the United
~ States is an anamoly. 1t has
been the habit OF the public men
and newspapers of America to give full
rein to free speech. As a rule our
have been local and internal. The char
acter of our government and institutions
demanded free speech. Everybody has
felt IL his privilege n his duty to talk.
to express his opinion about current
events; and the newspaper interview
has been evolved as a recognized in
s~titution itself. Americans moreover
are constitutionally curious and inquisi-
tive. and the bigger the 'doings'' the
more they want to know about them.
To the present generation war is a de-
cided novelty. the clamor for news Is
great and incessant. and 1t seems diff
cult to instil into the minds OF many
the necessity for keeping important
plans secret until after their accom-
plishment. That such a necessity is
often imperative will be recognized by
all rieht-thinking men.
The blame for any premature or un-
wise publication of news since the pres
ent war began, however, rests not so
much upon the American
al upon the men who knowing some
of the inside" facts could not, or would
not, break themselves OF the habit of
talking. These men have proceeded to
hunt up a newspaper correspondent and
convince him that they are CLOSE to the
administration" by revealing the knowl-
edge they ave gained. Censorship over
the newspapers would hardly be- neces-
sary IL the members of the cabinet
would exercise their authority by pre-
venting subordinates from giving in
formation which IL is important to keep
from friends Of the enemy. Editors are
as patriotic as other people. but news rs
news and IL it leaks out 1t Is public
property and as such is bound To be
printed.
There are various kinds of press CEN
sorship. and the kind that goes in Spain
would never be tolerated i'm this coun-
try, nor would the administration con-
cider IL even. The American people de-
not require to be treated as children to
whom news may he a dangerous play
thing. W can bear d-iscouragement
more calmly. and control our emotions
more inteliigently." says the New Haven
Register. " This is a difference eetab-
lished by a comparison of the Anglo
Saxon with the Latin temperament" II
is not the intention of the government
20 keep the country in the dark in re-
gard to Its plans. and TO set up a con-
structively military despotism. Its sole
object is so to guard the movements of
our naval squadron that the enemy may
be kept In the dark. hat is plainly the
meaning OF the orders issued to trans
init only such messages as plainly per-
tain 10 personal and commercial mat
tiers. and OF the institution of the bulle-
tin news service. II is simply necessary
to employ every p~recaution In order to
make our cause certain Of victory. il
sets aside the habit Of almost a century.
which the American people cling to with
a logical tenacity. but habit and every
thing else have to go by the board when
war comes. which is as scientific as IL is
Terrible"
