MURDERER IN TOWN.
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE,

Burke and assaulted his wife. as the
couple had always been very good TO him.
He said he had lived in this city about six
years ago. He claims he has no relatives
The stable where Alexander was caught
yesterday afternoon was about five blocks
from the Burke residence. He had been
employed at a stable next door TO the
Burke home. He also owned a shoe shin
ing stand and always had been friendly
with the people he met
After bringing the prisoner to this city
and safely placing him behind the bars,
every policeman that participated in bring
ing him had TO have some slight wound
dressed. These wounds were caused by
the stones thrown by the angry mob.
Alexanders crime was q brutal one.
Burke and his wife had retired early Sun
day night. Alexander crept into the house
and cut Thomas Burkes throat, killing
him instantly. Mrs. Burke was awakened
by the murderer and she saw him at the
side OF her bed. When she attempted to
arise Alexander siashed her terribly with
his razor.
Burke was forty years old and was a
striking motorman. He was a brother of
Michael Burke. formerly superintendent
OF the street-car company. He was a
member OF a number OF Catholic lodges.
No reason can be assigned for Alex
anders deed. IL is said that recently he
has been drinking. and that this and the
fact that he was a slave TO Opiates, had
partially unbalanced his mind. Mr.. and
Mrs. Burke. his victims, were we'll known
Irish people and had never done the negro
an injury

morning in Police Court and was bound
over to the grand jury without bail. Co.
penhaver yet has the nervous appearance
that he assumed shortly after he COM
mitted the crime. Ii is thought now that
he will try to make defense based on
insanity.
The police yesterday, in speaking of the
murder, said that there has not been a
more premeditated and cold-blooded muir
der than the one committed by Copenhaver.
Capital punishment is spoken of as a prop
facts that is much against Copenhaver is
that he knocked his four-months-old child
from it's mothers breast and then DELHI

CALL FOR THE COMMITTEE
REPUBLICANS WILL GATHER HERE
WEEK FROM TO-DAY.
Later in the Week There Will Be a
Conference of Candidates-POliti-
cal News of Interest.

James p. Goodrich, chairman of the Re-
publican State committee, was at his desk
In State headquarters the most of yester-
day. One OF the things the chairman did
was to issue a call for a meeting OF the
State committee. Notices were sent out
requesting the members of the committee
to meet at headquarters on Wednesday of
next week. Later in the week there will
be conference of the candidates on the
State ticket. At the meeting of the COM
mittee general plans for the campaign that
is about to open will be discussed. The
different counties are now taking the sixty
day poll, and by Wednesday 1t is thought
the work will have progressed far enough
for the committee to be able to CLEAN some
thing Ineligible from 1t.
Chairman Goodrich has heard nothing
further in regard to Senator Hanna coming
to Indiana. 1t was the intention of Senator
Fairbanks TO have spent last Sunday with
Senator Hanna, but the Indiana senator
did not get of. Had he visited Senator
Hanna the latter's plans in regard to COM
ing to Indiana would have been discussed.

LIBERATI AT FAIR BANK.
Good Italian Band and Four Singers
In a Series of Concerts.

For the first time since his circus days
Liberau directed his band in this city last
evening. He brings the band and four
singers for a series of concerts at Fair
Bank. A concert will be given every even
ing this week and on Thursday and Sat-
urday afternoons. The band has had
unbroken summer season on the Pacific
coast and is in good trim. Most of its mem
bers are Italians. and they play with
spirit that the homespun bandmen are not
endowed with. Liberati, too, is a person
atty. Often his audience can hear his
sharp vocal directions to his players. Ere
quently he reminds one of the Hungarian,
Edouard Strauss, by taking UP a cornet,
facing the audience and playing with the
band, directing by movements of his head.
Strauss conducts with his violin bow as
he plays with his orchestra.
1t was too cool for a big crowd at Fair
Bank last evening, but the audience was
well pleased. The William Tell overture
was on the programme and there was an
interesting and unfamiliar number from
Ponchiellis opera, "Giaconda." These were
well played. The "Tannhauser' overture
also was in the list
The four singers of the organization were
announced TO sing parts OF Lucia" and
'Rigoletto," but the soprano, Miss Kath-
crime Klarer, did not arrive in time and
the tenor, A. Bagetto, did not appear. A
contralto. Miss Marie Valdez, and very
good baritone, Bernard Begue, gave selec-
tons from the operas named. All of the
singers Will take their places on the pro-
gramme during the rest of the week Lib
craft played his cornet brilliantly in COM
position of his own.
The theaters having opened. Fair Bank
Will not have a special musical feature
after this week. Mr.. Iron has given
summer season OF music such as the city
never had before. He has managed the
park very carefully and he has deserved
prosperity. 1t is to be hoped that he will
be encouraged 10 provide another three
months OF music next summer.

THE GRIF OF MONOPOLY.

From the from Age non-p artisan).
Reports have been circulated in
iron trade circles to the effect that
the management of the United
States Steel corporation had decid-
ed upon a very important change
in policy, that in the future the
corporation will not sell its raw
materials, iron ore and coke, to
outside interests. We have been
unable to secure any official con-
firmation or denail of these reports,
which, however, are brought forward
with much show of authority. 1t
Is needless to say how far reaching
the effects of such an attitude would
be, particularly as to ore. During
the current season the corporation
will ship about 100000 tons of
Mesaba and Old Range non Besse-
mer ores to outsides parties. So
for as coke is concerned the major
ity of the blast furnaces in the cen
trail West and in the East have
been more or less dependent,
upon the Frick Coke company for
at least a share Of their fuel supply.
Ii these reports should prove to
be correct We might witness an I'M
sittled condition borderingon chaos.

Londoners are all complaining
ofthe inrs eased cost OF liyine. Bacon
the poor mans luxury, is from 80
to 30 per cent. higher than former
Iy. Tens of thousands of working
men have diminished their never
abundant ration of bacon and have
substituted cheap jam or marina
llde, a diet not likely to develop
British Drawn and muscle. Poultry
is much dearer and at many shops
pork is no longer sold, being "too
dear" for poor peoples consump-
ton. In New York there is much
anxiety among thinking people re-
garding the coming winter, for coal
promises to be phenomenally dear.
The New York correspondent of the
London Pail Mall Gazstte writes:
"Now, there is a point on which
the American press is strangely
silent It is peculiar that no one
else is silent except the editors. In
trains and boats and everywhere
else | Il d people discussing what
will hapi-i when the children Ct
the poor bs.in to freeze, but no edi-
tor seems to wish to handle the sub
ject lie charge of being an incen-
diary when the petroleum is run
ming in the streets is one that is be +
ing avoided most carefully and
wisely. And at present, with the
thermometer in the eighties, the
talk is not threatening the pinch
not having arrived.
"The demand of the miners is
simply for a wage that the increas-
ed cost Of living requires. The re-
fusal OF the employers is simply the
determination to become more rich
at the cost of an enforced slavery
In nutshell, that is the whole
thing But Bishop Potter cannot
see it. President Roosevelt cannot !
see it. The only people who do see
it are the seventy-four millions who
have no system of robbery that is
protected by the states"
When the East Side poor, during
the heighth of the dear me2t crisis,
broke into the butchers shops and
helped themselves, they gave hint
of what may happen in the great
new world metropolis in case coal
remains at its present high price
