Roy Gehrig Shoots Will B. Davis and
 Then Kills Himself.

Lancaster, Pa., March 13.-Koy Geh- rig of Milton, Pa., shot and perhaps fatally wounded Will B. Davis of St. Clair, Pa., at NIiHersville today and then killed himself.

They returned to the village last night about 10 o'clock, and securing a room at Hoak's hotel, retired immediately Early this morning the inmates of the place were startled by a fusilade of pistol shots and moment later Davis came run ming downstairs with blood gushing from several wounds in his face. An other shot was heard, followed by the sound of a body falling to the floor.
 Davis ran into the barroom, ex- claiming, My chum shot me-" A note written by Gehrig and found near his body gives his explanation of the tragedy as follows: ''We were dead in love with Alice Cummings and Annie Holmes, and not being able to see them and they keeping away from us we resolved to take our lives"

NOTHING LAID OUT The Senate is Without a Pre-
 graInme for This Week THE ANNEXATION TREATY
Will Possibly Come Up for
 Consideration and Vote
But Everything will be SidstraCked for the Sundry Civil Bill if Report ed-PrOpOSsd Amendment to the Census Bill.

Washington, March 13.-There is no this week. If Senator Bacon Is pre- pared to speak on the Hawaiian an nexatfon treaty it will be taken up promptly, as indeed it will be if any senator IS prepared to go on with the debate. It is not expected, however, that there will be a much further discussion of this subject in executive session and it is the intention of Sen ator Davis, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, at a very early date to move on the motion to table.
 It is on this movement that the managers of the treaty hope to secure a test vote and Senator Davis said to- day that he was hopeful that this vote might be reached during the present week.
 Senator Pettigrew is anxious and hopes to get his five per cent land bill before the senate early in the week, and Snator Vest will make an effort ta obtain a considration of the quar- antine bill. There is also a possibility that the census bill may be pressed for consideration. An entirely new census bill probably will be offered providing for the establishment of census ma chinery instead of for preliminary arrangements for as the bill first pre- pared did The cOmmittee on aDnrO- priations is hopeful of being able to report the sundry civil bill during the week, and if it should be successful this measure will be pressed upon the attention of the senate to the exclusion of everything else.

 The Kessler-Boyle company, per haps, wishes now that the affair had been given more publicity. It would have furnished data which would have been useful to the firm in it's dealings with Smith. The reporters who sup pressed his name, became without in tending to become So, accessories of Smith before the fact.
 So that this case should also be an admonition to reporters that they are lax in their duty whenever they sup press the facts connected with repre- hensible conduct in any person oc- cupying place of trust in which it is possible to steal a dollar.

|SSORIES OF SMITH.
Those Conspired to Keep His
 Nay e Out of Print Once.

The career of Lester Smith, one of the young men whose name has been mentioned in connection with the KesslerBoyle robbery, should be an object lesson, but no other young man will likely profit by it. He is a rather bright, good looking young fellow and had many friends. He had been hon est and enjoyed the confidence of his employers and alf who knew him. But he gradually attached himself to fast companions who led him into evil ways. About six weeks ago he was summoned to police court on a charge of frequenting saloons. Officer Moloy had led him away from a gambling table the night before and put him under arrest on the supposition that he was under age. Smiths fast and older friends were indignant They characterized the officers conduct as an outrage and his interference as unwarranted. What business was it of his if Smith was under age and was gambling? The money was sup posed to be his own, but in the light of later events it has been shown that it wasn't. His friends followed him into police court apd importuned the recorder to keepl name out of the newspapers. f2 said Smith would

DISORDER OF YESTERDAY.
A High Carnival of Wind and Dust
 and Noise

In one or two respects yesterday was the most disagreeable day in Phoenix within ten years, many of the pioneers said. A wind came up from the gu f to meet the sun and tried to blow it back into the east. It did not en- tirely succeed, but it retarded it's pro- gress and made the day an extraor- dinarily long one. The wind was aided by cohorts of dust which enveloped the sun and compelled it to grope its way with uncertainty through the heavens just as the folks of Phoenix had to grope their way along the street. The dust storm was worse than most dust storms, for the reason that the wind was harder, carried big ger particles if dust and blew them into the faces of people with almost the force of bird-shot.
 The wind and the dust received en- ragement from a decided falling

Washington, March 13.-There has been no information bearing on the doings of the court of inquiry on the Maine explosion received during the day nor any other dispatches calcu- lated to cause conferences between the heads of the various departments. There were a number of experts of the war department and ordnance officers at their desks for short time during the morning to attend to some press ing matters while at the navy depart ment, the board on auxiliary cruisers held final meeting preparatory to the departure of the special board to New York.
 Secretary Long was at the navy de partment for a short time. He stated late in the afternoon that there was no news of any naure for the press and added in response to a specific in quiry that nothing had been received from the court of inquiry.
 At the meeting of the board on auxiliary cruisers each of the bureau chiefs present was able to give the board some information incident to the work that may be required to fit out any ships that might be obtained Several of the members of the board as originally appointed to look into the matter, are unable to leave the city at the present time, so it was determined that the special board of which Cap tain Rodgers will be president, should be designated to proceed to New York tonight to undertake the work in hand An office will be ojened at 26 Cortland street, New York city, tomorrow morn ing at which owners and agents for ships will be invited to make their proposals for turning over to the navy such vessels as are capable of con- version to war purposes.
 There will be no difficulty experi enced in obtaining all the vessels that are desired, as there are hundreds available. Thanks to the work of the ment keeps in close touch with the construction of all craft that could be utilized in the event of hostilities and just now it has a record of forty such ships of all sizes and classes which will be inspected and examined if their owners desire to part with them
 At Fort Washington factory there aIe now in various stages of construction no less than 150 guns of formidable character on which work is being done night and day with view to their early completion. No new guns are being started, but the entire force of the factory is devoted to finishing those now under way. A naval officer said there will be enough of them when finished to constitute fair ar mament for probably thirty or more auxiliary cruisers.

At o'clock everybody was blown in doors except the Salvation Army, which marched up the street singing godly songs to an ungodly Bowery tune, rejoicing because it had a tangible enemy to fight, the Prince of the Power of the air, who was out with all his host. The color bearers bore the brunt of the assault and al most gave way before it. The stars and stripes carried by one was frayed and torn by the enemy, but the deep red colors of the army Tapped tri- umphantly.
 Folks who had been to Tempe, Mesa, Alhambra and other surrounding towns came in with tales of the ravages of the W nd and dust. Dr. William Duf- field, who had come in from the south ! east, said that just as he reached the NJ. & P. tracks he saw a f1at-car laden with steel rails overturned and its contents rolled along the ground. The report of this casualty has not been verified. The rain which had been predicted all day as the sequel of all this disorder set in about o'clock l in fitful showers.

 Hut at Flushing.

Flushing, March 13.-Two laborers who forced an entrance to a shanty opposite St. Mary's cemetery shortly after noon today discovered the dead body of Charles Fuchs, and near it the unconscious form of his companion, Charles Meggs.

A PERMANENT ORE BODY.
The Strike at the Gladiator Mine Was
 Substantial Acquisition.

s. w. Traylor, representing the Col orado Iron works, was in the city yes- terday, having returned from a visit to Prescott and other points in the northern portion of the territory. MT. Traylor visited the Gladiator mine where rich strike of ore was made few weeks ago, and he said the strike has enlivened that camp considerable. The ore body which carries such ri h gold values was found in the lower workings of the mine and it's extent is said to be very large as far as is known. The Gladiator is now placed among the dividend paying properties of Arizona MT. Traylor noticed a great deal of improvements in other camps he visited, and mining machin- cry is coming into the territory in greater quantities than ever before.
 The Colorado Iron works will estab- fish branch office in Arizona with Mir. Traylor in charge, but it has not been decided yet whether Tucson or fhoenlX will be chosen. It Is likely that this city will be selected as Mr. Traytor seems favorably disposed to recommend Phoenix as the most suit able point from which to extend their operations in the territory. They will have all office with mining machinery on hand for the inspection of mining men.
