Spokane, Wash, Aug. 7-Harry
Tracy, the notorious outlaw who with
David Merrill escaped from the Ore
gOn penitentiary at Salem June g.,
after killing three prison guards,
killed himself early yesterday morn
ing after being wounded by one OF a
posse in pursuit. Tracy was sur
rounded in a field near Fellowes,
about so miles west of Spokane, Tues
day night. Word was sent back to
Davenport, and posse hurried to the
scene, under Sheriff Gardner The
posse opened fire on the outlaw and
one bullet pierced his right leg.
About twenty minutes after being
wounded he shot himself with his
own revolver. His body was found
after daybreak, his revolver grasped
tightly in his right hand.
The sheriff's posses and others are
disputing the ownership of Tracy's
body. Sheriff Cudihee of Seattle,
who came across the state to take up
the long and battling chase, positively
identified the outlaw at the inquest
yesterday. For two days Tracy had
terrOrized the occupants Of the Eddy
ranch, in the Lake Creek country,
three miles from Fellowes. Five citi-
zens of Creston, hearing of his pres
ence there, went after him. When
Tracy ran they stuck to the chase.
Sighting the men and securing a
rifle, Tracy sought cover behind a
haystack, escaping several rife bull
lets. Then the posse found cover be-
hind a large rock and for a while it
looked like a seige. Then Tracy
broke for large boulder lying on the
edge of a small wheat field and just
as he came to the rock he fell for
ward, rife bullet having broken one
leg. He plunged into the wheat field
and crawIed rs yards on his hands
and knees to reach. a spot that would
enable him to pour rifle fire upon
his pursuers. But once only was he
able to fire from this vantage point.
Then, weakened by loss Of blood he
tried to staunch his wound and failed
and with a revolver sent a bullet
through his brain.
By this time darkness had fallen
and the posse, unaware of the seri-
BUSINESS of his wound and fearing that
his silence was intended to lure them
into ambush, posted themselves to
prevent his escape and awaited for
dawn. During the night others
Joined the watchers. At daylight
they found the outlaws dead body.
None of the posse was wounded,
though all of them had narrow es-
capes. When they were firing from
the cover of their rock they had to
lift their heads above the cover and
every time this was done Tracy's
rife sent a bullet which cnipped the
rock The posse that will share the
reward is: G. A. Straub, deputy
sheriff; DR.. E. G. Lanter, Maurice
Smith, attorney, J. j. Morrison, rail
way section foreman, and Frank Lii
eningen. The reward offered for
Tracy amounts to $4,1O0, as follows:
From the state of Oregon, $1,000;
state of Washington, $4,000; brother
of J. D. Terrell, one of the guards
killed by Tracy, 800.

Ohio Statesman Gives History of
Troubles in Relation to Present
Controversies He Would
Rather Work for Harmony in This
Trouble Than be Senator.

Urbana, Ohio, Aug. 7.-Senator
Hanna addressed 5000 people yester-
day at the Urbana Chautauqua on
Labor and It's Relation to Capital.
He was frequently applauded. The
address was largely devoted to an
explanation of the origin and aims OF
the Civic Federation, of which he Is
president. He said the object of the
organization is to better the condi-
tions of labor and bring them in clos
er contact with capital, and by effort
and education to make it impossible
to have strikes. The speaker told of
the experience of himself and his as
sociates four years ago in connection
with coal mining in western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
I'VE agreed upon a scale of wages,
said the speaker, land all that was
then Necessary was to fix the basis
price. A contract was made, opera
tors sold their coal and the miners
abided by their contracts and del1v-
cred it. Next year came horizontal
advance of price and the next year
the contract was renewed and last
year it was again Ieneweu Peace
and harmony and successful opera
tons have succeeded that policy. The
prolonged strike in the anthracite
country now has brought about a con-
dition alarming not only to the peace
ests of our people,
John Mitchell, president of the
miners organization, had expressed
himself publicly as averse to
STRIKE" said the speaker Know
ing he continued, what l knew of
his influence with his men, believed
that the men who had entered into a
solemn compact with their employers
which had been in force for four
years, would stand upon their honor
and they did, by voting unanimously
against a strike in the miners ma
t1onal convention. Now, there is one
OF the best lessons ever presented to
the American people. 1t is one OIL
the strongest arguments that can be
urged in favor of getting further with
this policy and encouraging these
men and their class by assuring them
they can earn and establish the con-
fidence of their employers and the
whole American people by such acts
IT, will take time and patience and
work, because it is a work of educa-
tlon What there is yet to be done
along the line of this great question
depends greatly upon the support we
receive and that it will be not cor
fined 70 that small organization. the
Civic Federation. 1t is a question OF
the greatest Importance to our body
polite and our future as a country.
II is a subject that must be dealt
with from the political rostrum, from
the platform of the chautauuua
circles and rom the pulpit itself.
I am encouraged and am grateful
Tor this reception. If my mission OF
life is to do good in this direction in
which [ have enlisted it gives me
more hope and more courage to go on. !

On all the more important matters OF
Republican party policy Congress re-
fugeu TO follow the lead OF the Presi :
Ient. This is especially true in the
mater OF reciprocity in general and
Cuban reciprocity in particular.
The same principle applies to other
measures recommended by the Presi-
dent 10 the favorable consideration of
Congress, only in lesser degree, be-
cause their turning down was not sub
Ject to such Widespread publicity.
The secret OF all this is that the
leaders in Congress, both In the Senate
and the House, are not in sympathy
with their President in his policies or
In bis methods
The most dangerous element In the
Republican opposition TO the President
lies in the secret desires of many lead
ing Senators that his first term shall
not be success. And now that Con
gress mas adjourned 1t is even openly
admitted that all this In but the 4
ginning OF general opposition

WASHINGTON. d. G., July 3.-Since
the adjournment Of Congress the Re-
publican leaders have been boasting
that Roosevelt Is not able to run
things. 1t Is claimed that Roosevelt's
first experience with Congress on his
hands has not been successful, because
leaders In both branches of Congress
determined very early in the session
to give the President as little credit as
possible. y.

mendations made by the President In
his annual message-to some of which
Congress paid no attention whatever.
to others OF which 1t only gave half
hearted support. and still others 1t pre-
tended to favor and then allowed to
die-~will show that the representative
statesmen of the Republican party in
Congress have sought to prevent Mr..
Roosevelt becoming a leader.

found In the history of legislation
when an administration and Congress
were OF the same political party.
