KENTucKIANs HAVE DUEL.
Probable Fatal Encounter Between
Bank President and Judge.

Probable Fatal Encounter Between
Bank President and Judge.
Chicago, Feb. 21-As the result Of
pistol duel at Lawrenceburg, KY, Alf
Witherspoon, president of the First
National bank of that city lies serious
ly wounded at his home, and Judge
Porter Walker is under official surveil-
lance, awaiting change in the wound
ed mans condition.
The trouble, says The Inter-Ocean's
Lawrenceburg special, was begun last
fall, when Witherspoon came under
the hands of the law by recklessly fir
ing his revolver and shooting through
some windows. He was arrested, and
Walker, as judge of the police court,
fined him 5000. Since that time, it is
said, bad feeling has existed between
the men.
Walker had occasion to go to Haw-
kins dry goods store and found With
erspoon there Witherspoon cursed
Walker, but the latter, making no re-
sponse, retired. After he had eaten
his luncheon, Walker returned to the
store, and finding Witherspoon still
there asked him to retract his recent
language. Witherspoon, realizing that
trouble was coming, retreated to the
door, where he turned and attempted
to draw his revolver.
The weapon had caught in his pock-
ct and he was compelled to turn side
wise, while using both hands to re-
lease it. Meantime Walker, seeing
Witherspoon reach for his gun, drew
his own and fired point blank at With
erspoon. The latter ducked and the
bullet clipped his ear. Walker then
fired again and this time grazed the
shoulder of his antagonist. Before
Witherspoon could bring his revolver
into play the judge had fired a third
shot, which struck Witherspoon in
the back and below and slightly to the
left Of the right shoulder. Witherspoon
fell to the floor and was removed to
his home, where his life is despaired
Of Walker gave himself up to the au-
thoritieS and was released upon his
own recognizance.
Witherspoon comes of wealthy
family, and is leading business man.
His brother, Horace, after killing two
men, was himself killed by a man
named Portwood

TU'ChaSe or FhG Philippines, He Said.
Was First Step Toward a Colonial
Policy Antagonistlc to the American
Form of Government.
Washington, Feb. 21.-The senate
met at II o'clock today and entered
ON the consideration of the Philip
pines tariff bill.
Mr.. Bate, Of Tennessee, spoke in op.
position to the bill.
Few things had occurred in the SEN
ate chamber. he said, more fateful or
involving more delicate issues and
greater results than the ratification of
the treaty of Paris. He asserted the
payment of $20,000,000 for the Philip
pine islands was a commercial rather
than a sentimental transaction. and
was the first step toward a colonial
policy, antagOnistic to the American
form Of government.
While he regarded the acquisition of
the Philippines islands as hurtful to
the American system, as destitute of
benefit to the American people and as
wrongful to the Filipinos the present
was not the time to continue that dis
cussion or propose a remedy for the
evils that had sprung from the rati-
fication Of the Paris treaty. He de-
clared that it was only after the rati-
ficatiOn of that treaty that the appre-
hensiOn rose that the Republican party
had bit off more than it could chew"
Then it was that the new idea had
blossomed out that only congress could
extend the operation of the constitu-
ton had gone beyond the United
States, and it was held in addition that
congress would not extend the provi-
sions Of the constitution to the peo
pie of the Philippines except that the
string to it which denied equality of
taxation and citizen
ship. How many millions of dollars
had been expended in the sentimental
program of exploitation was unknown
to the American people, but thus far
there had been no money return of
this war for trade spoiIiation
The present tariff bill, the Tennes-
see senator said, would become a law,
but it would not bridge the chasm that
a people struggling for indie
pendence and the Republican party,
bent on conquest exploitation and
1t was not given to
finite wisdom to distinguish the form
which retribution for that trade at
Paris would take but when the tariff
bill had been passed the Republican
party again might be heard to ex-
claim:
"Erring sister, depart in peace" for
there will be no more money to be
made out Of the Filipinos and they
might then take their place again
among the nations of the world.

HAY AND LONG WILL
LEAVE THE CABINET
Such Is Prediction of Wash

ROOT MAY SUCCEED FORMER

ment's Policy In His schIey Deci.
sion the Wedge That Will Bring on
Longs Retirement.
Washington, Feb. 21.-With the
presidents response to Admiral
Schley's appeal comes the prediction
from knowing officials that Secretary
Long, Of the navy, will tender his res
ignatiOn at once.
At the same time the story is re.
vived with considerable JUNCTION that
Secretary Hay will soon resign from
the state department and will be sue
ceeded by Elihu Root, the present sec
retary of war.
The paragraph in the presidents re-
sponse which intimates that Admiral
Schley should not have been retain
ed as second in command of the
American fleet before Santiago in the
face of his alleged disobedience of or
ders, is the wedge which all Wash
ingtOn expects will bring on the i'm
retary has said he desired to sever
his connection with the navy depart
ment when the great naval controyer-
sy should end, and now that the last
probable official step has been taken,
and in view of the additional cause
for a resignation given in the presi-
dents censure of the navy depart
ment's policy, official circles predict
that the resignation VIII come in.
The resignation of Secretary Hay
has been expected for some time. Now
it is said that 1t will surely follow
Secretary Longs, SO that President
Roosevelt can have the selection of
two new cabinet members at once,
and at the same time complete the or
ganization of new cabinet of his own
choosing.
