TWO POLICE OFFICERS
IN CHICAGO ARE SLAIN

CHICAGO Aug. 12.-Oficers Timothy
Devine and Charles T. Pennell, patrolmen
Of Chicago police department, were killed
early today in a revolver battle with
what is supposed to have been a gang
of thugs. Much mystery surrounds the
shooting, for both men died before an
adequate account of the shooting could
be obtained-Devine in the ambulance
on the way TO the hospital and Pennell
on the operating table, while surgeons
were probing for the bullets.
The fight occurred just before dawn
near Jackson boulevard and Ashland ave-
nue. In the aristocratic section of the
west side. The shots aroused the entire
neighborhood. Citizens who heard the
dying policemen groan rushed to their
assistance and saw men running away.
officer Pennell meanwhile had staggered
a hundred feet to a patrol box and sent
in an alarm for assistance. At once the
police set a dragnet for all suspicious
characters and soon had six men in GUS
tody. Before Pennell died he was able to
gasp out a few words about robbers"
giving descriptions of two men.

BY EMINENT DOMAIN
MAY STOP THE. STRIKE

NEWfYORK, Aug. 12.-President Roose-
Welt has in his hands, according TO The
World a plan submitted by Martin Doll
uhin. former president of the Internation-
al order of Railroad and Commercial Tel
egraphers by which Mr.. Dolphin thinks
the strike in the anthracite coal fields
could be ended. President Roosevelt re-
ferred the proposition to the attorney gen.
erals department and it is now being con-
sidered by H. NJ Hoyt. acting attorney
general.
This plan is to have the government ex-
ercise the right of eminent domain and
seize a certain number of the mines and
operate them for the purpose of taking
out all the hard coal required by the gov
eminent in its various buildings, on the
ships of the navy department and for all
other governmental purposes.
The right of the government to inter-
vene in a strike which interferes in. any
way with governmental functions was
proved, Mr.. Dolphin contends, by Presi-
dent Cleveland's action in the Chicago
strike of 1898, when he ordered out United
States troops to keep the strikers from in
terfering with the transportation Of the
mails.
In the present case intervention Of the
kind he advocates, Mr. Dolphin says,
would also break the backbone OF the
strike by forcing the operators to resume
work in all the mines.

ROOSEVELT SPENDS
NIGHT IN CAMP
WITH BOYS
PRESIDENT AND HIS SONS CAMP
ED OUT, COOKED THEIR OWN
MEALS AND RoWED
THEIR BOAT HOME.

. OYSTER BAY, Aug. I1.-President
Roosevelt spent a quiet day Saturday after
his night on the beach with the boys. No
visitors were received at Sycamore Hill
during the day, and none were expected.
Archie and Kermit, the presidents sons.
and Philip, his nephew, who constituted
the camping party, are already begging
him TO duplicate the performance, but II
is not likely that he will be able to spare
the time to do so.
The dinner and breakfast discoursed by
the president and his young comrades
consisted Of bacon, steak and bread. Each
member OF the little party did his share
Of the work. the president acting as gen.
eral overseer. In the middle OF the night
they were awakened by the bark Of a
fox, and while they were preparing
breakfast Saturday the fox was seen
running along the shore.

found bow.

Have you been all night with the boys"
The president laughed at the uninten-
tional Joke and said that the questioner
was right. --r
President Roosevelt has made It an an
nual practice for several years TO go
camping out over night with his sons.
It is believed here that the conditions
laid down by the president TO the paci-
fic commercial cable company, the text of
which was made public today, will be ac-
cepted by that corporation in spite OF the
fact that they are much more exacting
than the company at first proposed TO foi-

subject Attorney General Knox comments
upon the fact that the terms published
project and believes that the governments
interests. as well as the interests of the
business men OF the country are amply

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 12.-'Unless
Cuba is annexted to the United States
within a year it never will be-" said Mr..
G.. Castellanos, of Havana, who was at
Seelbach's hotel last night. IF the United
States wants the island, now is the time
to get it. The people are poor. and there
is no demand for the sugar and tobacco,
the principal products. The failure of
congress to adopt the reciprocity resolu-
ton was a great blow to the island, but
we think we will find a demand for our
sugar in Europe. When this is done our
people will become prosperous and all
will oppose annexation. But now with
hard times staring them in the face a
great many Cubans favor annexation
This is especially true with the wealthy
classes. They want to sell their products
and realize the benefits they would de-
rive personally by having an open mar
ket

perity. But when this is done the people

THREE AMERICANS KILLED;
ONE Is BURIED ALIVE

MANILA, Aug. 12.-An investigation
made by the constabulary to clear up the
facts in the killing Of a Cebu coaching
party of four school teachers. shows that
the party was ambushed u miles from
Cebu.
Two teachers were shot and killed at
the first volley; a third. who ran. was shot
In the back. and a fourth, who was cap
tured was shot in the chest while he was
praying for mercy
1t is suspected that the fourth man was
buried alive, as his wound was slight and
probably would not. have caused death.
Dogs dug up two of the bodies and de-
voured the flesh. II is believed that SUI
ficient evidence is secured to convict all
the participants in the crime.
The bodies of these teachers were found
on July 4th, after the teachers had been
missing since June 10th. The police killed
the leader of the band of murderers and
captured eight others of the participants.
One man escaped.
