JEALOUS W0MAN'S DEED
KILLED HER HUSBAND WHILE SIT
ING AT THE SUPPER TABLE.
Murdered Her Three Year Old
Daughter and Then Fired a Bull
let Into Her Own Head.

CINCINNATI, May 31.-A triple tragedy
took place a the home OF Ottie Hester,
on Western avenue AID Third street Cow
ington, KY, tonight, and the bodies of
an entire family now lie at the morgue in
that city.
Mrs. Kate Hester, aged thirty-two, after
a quarrel with her husband Ottie, aged
forty-two, at the supper table, shot and
killed him as well as their three-year-old
daughter, after which she put the revolver
to her own head and blew out her brains.
A heated argument was heard in the din
ing room at o clock, and few minutes
later several shots were heard. After
shooting both her husband and daughter
Mrs hester locked the door and shot her
self, her lifeless body being found beside
that of her daughter.
1t has been learned from neighbors that
Mrs. Hester was very jealous of her hus-
band, and repeatedly threatened to kill
him. Hester left home early this morning.
and did not return until this evening. Hes
ter was a saloon keeper and quite promi-
nent among the sporting fraternity in Gov
ington.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Effect of Supreme Court Decisions as
Viewed by Senator Harris.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-Concerning the
position maintained in certain quarters that
the Spooner act occupies the same relative
position. either wholly or in part, regarding
the ievying of tariff duties I'm the Philip
pines as the Foraker act in Porto Rico, as
outlined by the Supreme Court, Senator
Harris Of Kansas expressed this opinion
to-day:
There is vast difference between these
two laws. The Spooner act was merely
intended to delegate certain general powers
Of authority to the President in connec-
ton with the government OF the Philip
pines. The Foraker resolution, on the other
hand, was enacted as a schedule of govern
ment for the precise regulation and control
OF all affairs in Porto Rico. In relation 10
the tariff problem, that apparently being
ton to whether the President can be
legally clothed with certain authority re-
lating to the imposition and collection of
such taxes. The Spooner amendment in
a general way of course confers legisla-
tive power the President, but il is a
very doubtful question whether the power
OF taxation can be conveyed in such
manner. Then the subject of military con-
troll also enters into the question, so far
as the Philippines are concerned. The
situation there in this respect seems to be
somewhat nebulous. l have not been able
to ascertain TO just what extent military
authority prevails and just how far the
is no doubt of the fact that so long as the
military powers control the islands they
have ample authority to arrange the sys-
tenn of taxation. The Supreme Court on
Monday in it's Porto Rican decision held
that the military authority was clothed
with that authority in the island In my
judgment, if IL is assumed that the mill
tary authority has control over the archi-
relago, then there can possibly be no room
duties which have thus far been levied and
collected. But If authority has passed be-
yond the control of the War Department
then it would seem that specific action on
the subject by Congress would be neceS-
sary in the near future.
Il have doubt that the President and
his Cabinet will Immediately begin con-
slderation of this question and reach some
decision to whether he has authority
L do not believe that the Spooner act is
ton for military authority, with the idea
OF establishing civil form of government
under Its provisions There ought to be
more direct legislation on the subject. The
question as to whether the President has
the power to regulate the tariff in any
form or other under any exigency which
may arise has been much discussed, and
ident has so little power in this direction
that he is not constitutiOnally empowered
even to the extent of dealing with the
various international reciprocity treaties
which are being negotiated and agreed to
from time to time L think that Congress
will attend to this matter without delay,
although | am not in position to predict
with any degree of accuracy as to whether
there will be an extra session of Congress. >
