Shooting ARRAY in Lobby of the
Capt.. Hotel.


FRANKFORT. Ky, January lex
Representative David @. Coson shot and
killed Ethelbert Scott and Luther Demaree
and slightly wounded James Golden. in the
Capitol Hotel today. The killing was the
result of a renewal of a feud between Col
son and Scott, which grew up between
them last year
Demaree and Golden We're bystanders and
were shot by accident. Colson was shot in
the arm. but not seriously hurt. After the
shooting he went to the residence of Chief
Police Williams. nearby. and gave himself
up. Later warrant was sworn out by
Clint FOgg who witnessed the killing. Fogg
says COlson shot first.
The killing occurred in the lobby of the
Capito. Hotel, which was densely packed
with people who are here attending the
trial of the contests before the legislature
In addition To Scott and DemaTee, who died
almost instantly, and Golden, Charles Jul
ian of Frankfort and Harry McEwing of
Louisville We're hit by stray bullets, but
were not seriously wounded.
Persons who We're in the hotel when the
tragedy occurred say fully twenty shots
were fired. Scott. who was the first killed
was d nephew of Ex-Governor Bradley.
Dtmaree was assistant postmaster at Shell
byvile and a prominent republican politi-

The trouble between Scott and Colson
was begun early last year and resulted n

killed shortly should they meet as they did
today.
Cols"n is under arrest.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, January 16.-Cncertainty
| as to the fate of the South African armies
| has dwarfed the volume of business i'm the
| security markets almost to the stagnation
| point. London is fretful as the result of the
| tension. and stocks are sold from time to
| time under the nervous argument that no
| news from the Transvaal means bad news.
| The idea that good news would be hurried
| into publicity prevails on this side also, and
| the local market has come to a halt pend
| ing definite information. Commission bus
| mess has dwindled to inconsequential pro-
! portions, and the conservative houses have
little to offer as an inducement for trading
in either account. They agree that long
stocks should not be sold. however, and are
extremely optimistic for the future.
The recent changes in the stock holdings
of certain important railroads argues well
for the future Of all the properties con-
cerned and considerable movement is ex-
pected to form about such shares. The
times are not in harmony with the under
taking, however, and a patient waiting
alone can be profitable.
The bond market is attracting the bulk of
the investment demand and all of the bet
ter known issues find ready sale. This fact
is encouraging, inasmuch all really
legitimate movements which become gen.
eral in character originate among the in
VeStment classes.
The demand for the low-interest bearing
bonds Of the reorganized properties carries
with 1t the comforting assurance that the
| money rate is not expected to stay up at
the recent high leved.
Call loans are being freely offered at 4
per cent a shade under. and the falling
off in the speculative demand gives the
money market an appearance of ease which
a greater volume of business would dispeL
During this period of dullness however
the banks are Strengthening their reserves
and the early spring market should not be
hampered by dear money. Cheap money is
an important aid TO higher prices but 1t
requires confident employment If substan-
tai results are to be obtained. Confidence is
Of slow growth and the strain of the last
month Of the old ear and the. bruises of
that period are too recent TO be Immediate
ly displaced.
The buying demand, which is generally
relied upon to appear later and to start
prices upward, would in all probability fol-
low hard upon news of a British victory.
All local conditions are good, but cannot
be used as an influence on prices while the
majority of the larger houses are secretly
glad that the present breathing spell has
come at a time when it can be credited to
foreign causes.
The final trading was irregular but the
net changes were not important in 4 single
instance.

RETURNED HIS SALARY.
VIM. f. English Did Not Serve in the
War for Money.

William E. English. a son of the late
democratic vice presidential candidate of
Indiana. today sent to the treasury a check
for $1.172.25. Young English was a captain
and assistant quartermaster in the volun-
teer army of the United States during the
war with Spain. He was appointed and
accepted in May. 1898. In December of
the same year he resigned when he found
that his services were no longer required.
During the war he served at Santiago on
the staff of General Wheeler. He failed to
make application for his pay and kept out
of the way of the paymaster until short
r time ago, when check was sent him for
his services. Captain English sent the
check to Senator Fairbanks and asked him
to turn 1t into the treasury with the state
ment that he served his country in time of
danger for his country's sake and not for
money; that he did not want and would not
have the money. The check was turned
into the miscellaneous receipts of the
treasury. 1t is the only case of its kind
recorded during the last war.

Inirtee of the whole and took up the con-
sideration of the urgent deficiency appro-
priatinn hill. 1t was agreed that general
debate upon the bill should continue
throughout today and that tomorrow the
bill should be read for amendment under
the tive-minute rule.
Mr. Cannon. chairman of the appropria-
tions committee. opened the debate with a
general explanation of the items in the
bill
NJ. Cannon was asked by Mr. Loud (CaL,
about thu. item of slJO0Oo for rural free de-
livery and replied that it had been found
that S3ooOOo had been appropriated for the
present fiscal year. That money had been
largely expended, and unless this appro-
priation We're made much of the service
now in operation would have to be dis
continued. Mr. Cannon frankly confessed
that the manner Of the expenditure of this
money did not meet his approval. He be-
lieved it the duty of the executive to cut
the garment according to the legislative
appropriation.
The department had no right to create
a condition which necessitated a deficiency
appropriation. He should vote for the ap-
preparation. but he should fail in his duty
