PEcoRA IN TROUBLE.
Former Wichita and Kinsfisher Man
Acts Wild at Lawton.


Jake Pecora is in trouble again. Pc
cora was a former resident of Wichita,
but in 1889 went to Kingisher where he
killed his man and served q ten year term
at Lansing His revolver also got him
into his present trouble which is describ-
ed as follows:
Shortly after eight o'clock last night

lowed after the lapse of a few seconds.
by two more. It was the famous Jake Pc
cora exhibiting his skill with a z5-calibre
revolver, the target being a gas lamp in
the Crystal saloon, right in the center of
Lawton. Jake made no charge for ad-
mission and everyone was at liberty TO
come and go when they pleased, but most
of them were pleased to go, and that
rather unceremoniously. With the first
two shots, Jake punctured the roof Of the
tent, and with the third, he made a peep
hole in the canvas partition between the
saloon and the room in the rear, but he
failed to shoot the lamp. This was due
probably to the fact that Jake was pretty

reports from the gun were distinctly

wards the saloon where the shots were
fred. Deputy Sheriffs Schoenfeldt and
Bartel were sitting outside the sheriff 5
tent when the quiet was disturbed by the
shots. They jumped to their feet and
started on a fast run for the scene. They
had left but few moments when a
fourth shot was heard in the same direc-
ton. 1t was Jake's right hand, gripped
the left OF Deputy Schoenfeldt. that dis
charged the last shot and the bullet en-
tered Jake's right leg in the rear, just
below the knee. After the lapse of a
brief space, a buggy dashed up to the
office of Judge Widmer, bearing the two
deputies with Jake between them, fol-
lowed by the crowd. The prisoners face
vas covered with blood. which streamed
from wound in his head caused by a
blow from six-shooter. He was a man
lac with rage and pain. The deputies
with great exertion removed him, fighting
from the buggy and hustled him into the
court room, where County Physician
Bower soon came to dress the wounds.
On Probing the bullet wound. the doctor
found bullet had entered the leg. An
incision near the foot Will be necessary
to remove the bullet. From the moment
Of his arrest the prisoner heaped impre-
cations on the heads of the deputies for
shooting him in the back. and making
him cripple and wept alternately. The
excited conduct of the patient made It a
difficult matter for the physician to do
anything for him Jake had recently an
nounced himself as a candidate for city
marshal, subject to the action of the Re
publican party. He accused Deputy Bar
ten of shooting him to put him out of the
race. The deputies and witnesses say.
and tn ecourse Of the bullet sustains them
that the shot that caused the wound was
discharged by his own hand.

REV. DIR. ALExANDER's TALK.


Interesting Discourse in the Factory
Street Synagogue Yesterday After
noon.
The Rev. DR.. Lotus A. Alexander, the
proprietor of the Alexander School Of
Languages, gave very interesting talk
yesterday afternoon in the Factory
street synagogue, BECKER Cholim before
{, large number Of people. The subject
of his address was "A Walk to Israels
History"
The object of the meeting was to de-
wise some plan whereby money for a
new home of the Hebrew Alliance may
be got together. The Hebrew Alliance
Is now about six months old and the
membership is growing. At the meet
ing yesterday there were twenty new
members received. The purpose of the
alliance is to spread religion and science
among the Jewish people, and consider
able good work has already been done
by the promoters. Some of the people
who have the matter in charge mingle
among the different classes as much as
they can, and by lectures and sermons
their aim is accomplished.
The address yesterday afternoon was
one that was greatly enjoyed by the

YALE DRAMATIC. ASSOCIATION.

AS planned by the, Yale Dramatic as
ISOLATION the living picture Of a Shakes
perean theatrical performance, which Is
to be the background to the production
of ''The Fair Maid OF. the West" will be
the most elaborate performance yet
given. by college actors in this country
at least. Frank Lea Short, the coach
OF the Yale actors, has outlined the ac-
ton preliminary and Incidental to the
play itself as follows:
When the New Haven audiences
gather on the evenings of the 2Sd and
oath they will see the stage of the barn
like Swan theater of 1900 instead Of the
drop curtain of the Hyperion theater Of
1900
Early in The evening an old retainer
comes on the stage and hoists a red flag
to the highest part OF the Swan theater.
This is to warn people across the
Thames that a play Is to be given, the
theater being on the opposite side Of
the river from London. proper. Soon
after this the London audience begins
to purchase stools. which they occupy in
the pit. The aristocrats with their at
tendant pages sit on either side of the
stage, where they shake dice, smoke and
occasionally interrupt the performance.
Just previous to the beginning Of the
play herald appears high up on the
hut above the stage and by trumpet an
nounces that the play is to commence
immediately. The old retainer then puts
up signs such as Plymouth We tarevne
OF Bess' and three or four stage ser
wants set the stage with a table and a
few chairs. Then the play begins. Each
change Of scene is marked only by
changing the signs. and rearranging the
furniture. In the fourth act fight be-
tween English and Spanish vessels oc-
ours and the way in which this is rep
resented entirely without the aid of
scenery will be one Of the most interest
ing things of the performance.

large number Of people in attendance.
DR.. Alexander divided his address into
seven parts and on each one of these
he spoke a few minutes The first part
was on the origin and the personality
of the Patriarchs, and the facts that
the speaker related were of the most
interesting character. This was follow
ed by talk on the revelation of the
first Moses. The next section of the
address was on the installation of the
kingdom of Israel, 97S e. G. The speak
er covered the time between the install
lation of the kingdom until the fall of
Jerusalem, which took place 70 A. D.,
in thorough manner, giving the I'M
portant dates and telling of the most
interesting things that happened be-
tween those two dates.
The next section to be discussed was
that of the split in Judaism between
those Of the old belief and those of the
new. Part six of the discourse was on
the second Moses, the great religious
philosopher, Maimonides, and his time.
The last part of the address was very
interesting one and was on the third
Moses and his time
At the conclusion of the address there
was a discussion and vote was passed
to divide the city into sections and have
different collectors cover these districts
for the purpose of raising money for the
proposed new home Of the alliance.

cratic club held a meeting at its head

Diversified Programme

End of Successful Season Last Night
Diversified Programme.
The Dorscht lodge orchestra gave the
extra and concluding concert of the Sc
ries of 1900-1901 at the Hyperion last
night to good audience. The Second
regiment band assisted, as did Miss
Katherine Murphy, soloist; Miss M. L..
Gallagher, harpist, and the Nareda vo-
cal quartette. AS at previous concerts
of the series, the programme was suffi-
GENTLY diversified to please a wide
range of tastes. OF the pieces rendered
1t must be admitted that the popular
music like Florodora was better receiv-
ed than the more classical pieces. Mos
kowskys Serenade and Schumanns
Traumerei by the string orchestra were
the possible exceptions. Miss Murphy
was In splendid voice and her rendition
of LIE Grand Howland's Ave Maria was
splendid, securing justly deserved en-
core from the audience. Mrs. A. Heaton
Robertson acted as the accompanist.

additional to that adduced at the military
court of inquiry. They viii make siren
uous efforts to wind I'D their work Here
by midnight tomorrow, although it is not
improbable they may have to hold ses-
sions on Monday.
The fighting traditions were gone into
again and some additional Information
was cleaned in that respect.
Cadet A. ]. Lynch, Of New York, was
thoroughly examined by the committee
men, as he is looked upon as an author
tty on fighting at the academy. When
Gen. Dick began to question him, he be-
came argumentative and shook his finger
at the chairman several times when lar-
rying some of the generals shots. He
spoke in an 1nsolent manner to the gen.
eraL He upheld the West Point fighting
habit and declared he would fight any
man Of his size and weight and said any
man who would not do likewise was not
fit to go into the army. Gen. Dick took
all this with great forbearance, but final
1y gave the advocate of flstic science a
sound piece of advice.
Cadet Francis w. Clarke, of Illinois,
testified that he was opposed to hazing,
and said the practice should be abolished.
He was complimented by Mr.. briggs. who

HAZTNG OF McARTHUR.
Cadet Douglas Macarthur, who yes
terday strenuously denied having had
convulsions of hysteria on account of his
being violently exercised during the sum-
n1er eneampment of 1899 at the West
Point military academy, was called again
by the congressional investigating COM
mittee, when the inquiry was resumed
this morning.
Young Macarthur Is not strong look
ing lad. He Is pale and anything but
robust, and at times is troubled with
short, nervous cough.
Macarthur always said muscular
cramps when describing his condition
after the hazing, and his interrogation in
variab1y used the word "convulsions.
'fYou found another cadet In fatnting
condition some time afterward during
that encampment?"
Eyes, sir. I found Cadet Murphy in a
bad way, unable to control himself, ana
l helped him to the sink"
when cadet Is called out, and, after
refusal to comply with the require
ments of an upper class man. and he
fights once, does that settle It? I mean,
is he hazed or made to fight again?''
'It does not settle it. sir. They are
