A GIRLS SINGING
AS Result This Chicago Man VIII
Never Again Be Able to Open His
Mouth.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-With a bullet in
his neck and unable to open his mouth
more than half an inch, Walter Smith,
baker, appeared in the Maxwell
street police court today to prosecute
Max Albrecht, sixteen years old.
Smith was shot by Albrecht, Sept.
Is. A bullet entered his right cheek,
knocked out two teeth and lodged in
the neck. The doctors at the county
hospital have been unable to remove
the ball because Of Smiths inability to
open his mouth. He is only twenty
five years old, and his unfortunate con-
dition will remain through life, it is
said.
The quarrel which resulted in, the
shooting was caused by Smiths criti-
cism of the singing Of young woman.

TRACY, Mimi, Oct. ia horrible
tragedy, as a result of which three
persons are dead and another injured,
occurred here this afternoon.
Ed Stricken, a former resident of
this place, is the murderer Stricken
was married some years ago to Miss
May Harvey, of this place. Matrimo-
NAL troubles ensued, and some two
years ago Stricken and his wife sepa-
rated. One child was left with the
mother A few months ago Stricken
took the child from the mother. Last
week he returned here with the boy
and has since been in town.
This afternoon he followed his wife
into the furniture store of Frank Nc
CalIister, and pulling a revolver from
his pocket, shot and killed his wife and
little boy. He then fired another shot,
presumably at his father-in-laW, L.
Parvey, who is an employe OF Mccall
lister, but missed his aim and the bull
let struck McCallister, entering his face
and tearing out one jaw. Stricken then
turned the revolver on himself and
ended his own life.
Stricker's wife and child were killed
instantly, as was the murderer himself.
McCallister is i'll critical condition,
but hopes are entertained for his re-
covery. The whole affair occurred be-
fore any officer or other person could
interfere. Harvey and McCallister
were in the upper story of the store
when the first shot was fired and rush
ed down to locate the trouble. Mccall
lister was removed to his home here
and is in charge of three physicians.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 13.-By
authority of ]. Pierpont Morgan, who,
with his partner, Robert Bacon, and
Secretary Root, was In conference
with President Roosevelt at the tenn
porary White house tonight for an
hour and a half, statement was given
out by Secretary Cortelyou, in which
the presidents of the coal-carrying
railroads and mine operators propose
a commission Of five persons to adjust
the differences and settle the coal
strike in the anthracite coal fields OF
Pennsylvania.
The proposition is believed by the
administration to be satisfactory to
the miners, as it covers the PROPOSE
ton made by President Mitchell, of
the u. M. w. of A, with additional
conditions which, it is believed, the
miners will accept.
Statement From the White House.
The statement is as follows:
J. P. Morgan came to Washington
with his partner, Mr.. Bacon, at the re-
quest of the coal companies, who de-
sired that as a matter Of courtesy their
statement should be shown to the
president before it was made public.
Having been laid before the president
by Mr.. Morgan, it is now given to the
press:
'To the Public: The managers
of the different coal properties,
comprising the anthracite coal
fields, wish their position in the
present strike to be understood,
and therefore make the following
statement of facts:
There are in the anthracite re-
gions about seventy-five operating
companies and firms, and $4,000
miners and workmen (of which 3d.
600 are under age), comprising
some twenty nationalities and dia-
lects Of these workmen possibly
one-half belong to the United Mine
Workers union, Of which John
Mitchell is president. That organ
ization was originally formed in the
bituminous coal region, and three
fourths Of it's members are miners

whether they be by the interference
with the rights of individual working
men, or whatever form such lawless-
ness may take, should he promptly met
and suppressed by the power vested in
the executive branches Of government.
"The rights of the people are para
mount. Whenever conflicts of capital
and labor threaten not only the pros
perity, but also the physical comfort
and welfare of the people, 1t then be-
comes the duty Of those who repre-
sent the commonwealth, which has
given to the one a charter right for
existence, and to both labor and CAPT.

of bituminous coal, and bituminous
coal is sold in active competition
with anthracite coal. The remain
ing workmen in the anthracits
fields either belong to no union
whatever, or do not belong to the
Mine Workers union.
When Strike Was Declared.
The present strike was declared
by the Mine Workers union on
May 10, 1902. Since that time many
Workmen not belonging to or not
willing to follow that organization
were working about the. mines.
From 1000 to 10000 are now at
work. Many more have wished to
work, but have been prevented by
a course Of violence and intimida-
ton toward those working and to-
ward their families, accompanied by
the destruction of properties and
the fear of death or bodily harm to
every man who wishes to exercise
his right to work.
"a schedule is annexed hereto
showing some Of the things done to
create this reign Of terror, and every
instance stated can be verified by
reference to the officers of the law
civil and miiitary-in the anthra-
cite region. This violence has con-
tinued and steadily increased, not
withstanding repeated disavowals
by Mr.. Mitchell, and it is clear that
he either cannot or will not prevent
it, and that the rights of the other
workmen cannot be protected under
the supremacy of the Mine Work.

Says Wages Are Fair.
'"The coal companies believe that
the wages paid in the coal regions
are fair and full, and all that the
business in it's normal condition has
been able to stand If the capital in
vested is to have any reasonable re-
turn. The profits have been small,
several Of the companies have lse-
come bankrupt and been reOrganiz-

Philippine FalIacies
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Senator Hoar made yesterday a
rhetorical argument against what he
conceives TO be the policy of the
United States in the Philippines. It is
not disrespectful to him to
say that his speech was
chiefly rethrashing of old
sctraw. because practically all the
material in the case is old straw. II
may be well, however, to dwell for a
moment upon one salient feature
of the discussion, feature
which appears in Senator Hears
speech and which also is made con-
spicuous in a recent magazine article
by SiXto Lopez. It is not uniting to
bracket the two men together, for Mr.
Lopez is a spokesman of the insurgent
party in the islands, as Senator Hoar
is its defender here
Senator lIoar speaks elegantly, and
Mr. Lopez writes vehemently. Doubt
less they both feel strongly upon the
subject. But there is a familiar say
ing to the effect that
Your labor is wasted, your argument
wrecked.
If your major premise is incorrect
And the major premise of the whole
argument against American sovereign
ty over the Philippines is hopelessly

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

The Sentinel asks a question; this
question is surrounded by yillainous
personal abuse, such as would put a
hsh-wife to shame, but assuming that
this editorial slander-monger. whose
tenure in office causes the good
citizens of Delaware TO blush
every day, wants information, we
get down to a plane where a reply is
possible Here is the question, shorn
OF it's billingsgate: Suppose the editor
of The Evening Journal tells the public
whether the Democrats OF this State
want J. Edward Addicks in politics or
out"
We can answer the question in
this way; every man in this State who
has an ordinary amount Of intelligence
and who is concerned for the public
welfare, opposes Addicks. He may be
a Democrat or a Republican, but THAT
matters little in case of public
leprosy and contag.on. The chief end
in life is not to be a bowling partisan,
but to be a man. Some Democrats and
some Republicans would feel more
comfortable if the Legislature could be
persuaded 10 repeal the Ten Com
mandments. and a platform containing
such a plank would get their support
This is not a question of politics so
much as it is OF good citizenship. When
it is possible. for instance, for such a
man as the writer in the Sentinel to
be secretary Of state. decent men
should make fight for preservation
above party lines il necessary.
