KILLED HIS WIFE
AND HIS BROTHER
A Triple Tragedy in Washington Com
mitted Suicide After He Had Com
pleted His Horrible Crim,.

Walla Walla, Wash, Sept 21.-O. B.
Byland killed his wife and his brother,
Grant, and then committed suicide this
afternoon. The tragedy occurred un-
der the brow of the hill few hundred
yards from the state penitentiary.
o. B. Byland arrived here yesterday
from Pomeroy, Wash. in search of his
wife, who, at the instance of her moth
er, Mrs, Kilgore, deserted him. She
came here several weeks ago, since
which time she has been living with her
mother and Grant Byland. The latter,
through f1t of jealousy of his wife and
hatred for his mother-in-law, deter
mined to kill them ALL He procured a
pistol and quietly stole to the house
where his wife and brother We're. Upon
being refused entrance, he shot his
brother through the heart and he
dropped dead just outside of the house.
Not finding Mrs Kilgore, he turned on
his wife, whom he chased into vacant
lot back of the house. and when short
distance behind her shot her in the
back. Although bleeding and weak
ened from the wound, she arose from
the ground and terrible fight ensued
between himself and wife. For sew
eral minutes they fought desperately,
he shooting and striking, while she at
tempted to wrench the pistol from him.
After becoming exhausted she again
fell and the infuriated husband shot her
in the face, mutilating it beyond recog-
milton.
He then lay down beside his wife and
shot himself, blowing the top of his
head off.
The three bodies lay within a radius
of 90 feet from each other and presented
a terrible sight
Byland and his wife lived at Pome-
roy. Wash. and from what can be
learned they were favorably known in
that locality.
A coroner's inquest will be held to-
morrow morning. long letter was
found on Byland's body addressed TO
Coroner Blalock. In part II says:
II got TO kiss my wife for the last
time and now / am going to kill Grant
Byland and Mrs. Kilgore and then l am
going to kill my wife; then will Kill my
self and put an end to US all. FRANK

ing wife. So | will close. May the Lord

TO AVOID WAR.
The Afriitandsrs of Cape Colony Appeal
to President Kruger.

to President Kruger.
Cape Town, Sept. 21.--Delsyed in
transmission-At a meeting of the Af-
rikander members of the parliament to-
day, M. Neethling presiding, the fol-
lowing telegram was dispatched to
President Kruger:
I'VE Afrikander members of parlia-
ment thoroughly sympathize with our
Afrikander relatives in their troubles
While appreciating the concessions al
ready made in the interests OF peace,
we beg to urge the expediency of doing
the utmost short of sacrificing inde-
pendence to avoid the horrors of war.
While agreeing that the joint inquiry
proposed by Mr.. Chamberlain cannot
be asked as a matter of right, we be-
lieve such a commission will provide
a way out of the difficulties which are
fast approaching crisis. with results
which might prove fatal not only to
the TransNaal and Free State brethren,
but also to the Afrikander party of
Cape Colony. In the presence of imme-
diate danger and the momentous issues
awaiting the decision of your honor,
the executive and the volksraad, even
at the risk of being misunderstood, we
beg your honor to lay these words,
only dictated by a keen sense of our
common interests and risks privately
before the executive and volksraad.'
The message, which was signed by
53 members of parliament, received the
following reply from, President Kruger:
L wish you and oher sympathizers
will notice, as you have doubtless al
ready seen by the reply of the imperial
government, that we have. according
to your desire considered the matter
and accepted the invitation of the joint
commission
Why the acceptance was delayed is
shown by the dispatches published. I
wish to thank you and other friends
once more my heart for the manner In
which you have aided our efforts for a
pacific and satisfactory solution. Fin
ally, l express the hope that your work
and ours will not be fruitless."
The meeting also adopted a resolution
to the effect that it had heard with sat
isfaction that the executive of the
Transvaa1 had accepted the invitation
of the Joint inquiry and trusted the ac-
ceptance would render an outbreak of
hostilities practically impossible.

LARGE FORCE REQUIRED
England Dilatory in Sending
Troops Forward.
BEGINNING TO MURMUR
Facing a Dilemma-May Be Obliged to
Summon Parliament - Behind in
Preparations-Leydes Is Kru-
gers Evil Genius.

London, Sept. 21.-While the precise
result of the secret session of the raad
of the Orange Free State is not yet
known here, President STEMS speech
at the opening of the session is regard
ed as an almost infallible indication Of
the attitude which the Free State viii
take.
Commenting from this point of view,
the London morning papers are all i'm
pressed with the added gravity of the
situation and murmurs are beginning
to be heard regarding the dilatoriness
of the government in getting troops for
ward.
Military men are said to be impa-
tient. They assert that everything is
ready and that they are only waiting
for orders.
1t is recognized that the attitude of
the Orange Free State makes the orig
inal estimates based upon Dutch neu-
trality too small Evidently a much
larger force will be required.
The government is faced with s1me-
opposition has publicly denounced the
precipitancy of colonial officers in fore
ing on a conflict.
Therefore ministers are disinclined to
convoke parliament. II, on the other
hand, so large an expenditure as the
apparent attitude of the Orange Free
State would involve should become ne
cessary, the government would be
obliged to summon parliament in order
to get adequate supplies. 1t is under
stood that the money question ac-
counts for the dribbling manner in
which the troops are being forwarded.
German military experts, realizing
the seriousness Of the campaign, are
commenting with establishment upon
the fact that England is so far behind
in her preparation.
In Berlin it is also believed that DR..
Leydes is acting as President Kruger s
evil genius and that he is leading him
by reports that he is likely to get SYM
pathy, If not assistance, from some of
the European powers

WORK Is PLENTIFUL;
WAGES ARE POOR
Testimony of Shoe Workers Before the
Industrial mmission-Conditions
Are Growing Worse.

Washington, Sept. 21.--The INDUSTRIAL
commission resumed it's hearings to-
day, and Horace NJ. Eaton, general
secretary and treasurer of the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union of America.
was the witness. The Jurisdiction of,
the union, he said, extended over 5000
operatives In the United States and
Canada. Speaking of the conditions
among the boot and shoe laborers, he
said work was plentiful, but wages
were poor. Eleven years ago he would
be able to earn from SIS to $35 week
at lasting shoes; now he could nots
earn more than SIS. He said that the
shoe trade, regardless Of party, re-
garded the duty on hides as iniquitous.
They should not regard free hides as
inimical to the interests Of the farmer.
They regarded hides as a by-product,
which benefited the packer and not
the farmer. The manufacturers did NOT
look upon free hides as solution. In
was only one of the incidental aggra-
waiting things which went to raise the
cost of materials.
The improvements in machinery, ha
said, had resulted in shortening tha
seasons of labor. With the present
number of shoe plants the shoes neces-
sary to supply the consumption can bs
manufactured in four months. The
not only due to improvement in ma
chinery and lesser labor cost, but tn
Improvement in tanning processes.
Henry Wilson was a shoemaker and
said every shoemaker in Lynn was fit
to be United States senator. Now,
the hard. driving work at machine
gave employees no opportunity to
change opinion and they became mar
row necessarily. The employment Of
child labor was also a great evil. So
cially. the conditions of the working
men could not compare with the old
days, and it was growing worse.
William H. Allen of Brooklyn, a
member of the Knights of Labor, testi-
fed that he had been instrumental in
the organization of the protective labor
union which favored a restriction Of
immigration. He favored restriction ON
economic grounds. Most of the aliens
underbid American labor and did not
assimilate with the people of this coun-
try. He produced some figures to show
that foreigners returning home or send
ing money home took out of the coun-
try $11SD00,O00 each year. The Lodge
bill was not severe enough. He favored
complete exclusion. and if he could
have his way, would even expel some
of those who were here.

STRUCK HER NOSE.
Steamer Rosalis Had n Portion of Her
Stem Broken AWAY.

Seattle, Wash. Sept. 21.-The steamer
Rosalie bears evidence of the general
shaking up which has occurred in the
north. When the steamer crossed the
entrance of Taku inlet she encountered
fields of ice through which she had TO
pick her way. Going into one of these
the steamer struck her nose with force
enough to break away a portion of the
stem and iron plating that binds it
down. The unusual quantity of ice is
due to the breaking away of the face of
Taku glacier. The Rosalies passengers
say landmarks have disappeared and
where green frnged shores were before
the quake, now stand pools of salty wa
ter.
The Yakutats and the Klinkets and
other tribes fell on their faces and i'm
plored the Great Spirit to stay His
wrath and let His anger pass. There
was also a tidal wave 20 feet high The
disturbance was felt 100 miles inland
and was very violent even at that dis
tance.
The Rosalie brings $15o,oeo in gold
dust and 100 passengers.
