THE WEsT-PAYLUR ENCOUNTER
Further Particulars of the Shooting Death of
Policeman NJ A. Wilmington.
(Special to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., May 9.-Early Sat
urday night it was reported on the streets
that Jim West has just killed the shoe
maker" The truth of it was that Mr.
West, who is generally known as the
excursion manager" and is a confec-
toner here. is said to have gone into
the shoe shop of f. A. Paylor, and ac-
cusing him of having called Mrs West
liar, drew a pistol and fired, the ball
striking Paylor below the right ear,
coming out at the back of the neck. Dr.
w. J. Meadows has been attending the
wounded man, and today he is walking
about the streets, bandaged up.
West gave five hundred dollars bond
for his appearance at a preliminary trial
this afternoon.
West claims to have acted in self de-
fence, that Paylor drew his shoe knife,
and the pistol was not resorted to ex-
cept for protection.
Paylor claims he had no knife at all,
but was in the act of taking off his
apron preparing to go hone, when West
drew his gun and fired. He said West
was accusing him of having called Mrs.
West a liar. and on his replying he
thought this old matter had been set
tied, the pistol was fired. Paylor then
closed with his assailant, and while
clinched, both fell against a machine,
forcing it down and tumbled over it.
They were in this position when Police
man Fields seized, West and wrenching
the pistol from his hand, succeeded,
with the help of others, in separating
the combatants.
Paylor was just grazed by the first
shot, the second one doing the damage
West was not hurt. He had no difficulty
in giving bond, Messrs. c. NJ. Vanstory
and W. G. Balsy signing for him.
Policeman NJ. A. Wilmington, one of
the oldest and most respected members
of the city force died last night He
leaves a family who have the esteem and

her part of the program. No encores
were allowed, but that could not stop the
enthusiastic applause after each recital.
The crowd was enormous. Such a thing
as getting a seat after $50, the time
for the exercises to begin, was out of the
question. Extra chairs were put in the

Washington, d. c.. May 19.-Before
adjournment today the House passed the
Naval Appropriation bill. The feature
of the bill was on the amendment offer
ed by Mr.. Roberts. (Mass) providing
that three of the ships provided for in
the bill, a battleship. cruiser and gun
boat, shall be built in government yards.
Mr.. Adams, Pa.), made a point of or
der against the amendment which Mr..
Sherman sustained but on an appeal by
Mr.. Roberts the chair was not sustain
ed and the amendment was agreed to.
Under suspension of the rules the bill
for eight hour work on all government
contracts was passed.
During the discussion of the Roberts
amendment Mr.. Foss said that past eX-
perience had proven that il cost 30 per
cent. more to build ships in government
yards than in private yards and cited
the Texas and the Maine Admiral
BoWles had said that if he were permit

ships as .heaply in government yards as
UNDER private contracts. but he would
make the hours of labor the same in
private yards, would pay the laborers
in the navy yard by the piece and would
wipe out all holidays for which they are
paid.
Mr.. Dayton said the amendment would
not be in the interests of the laboring
men, because there was a limit placed
on the number of men that navy yards
could employ. 1t would extend the
work over many years and the select
few would have labor continuously,
which would otherwise go to the work.

Mr. Roberts referred to what he term

INSULTS TO WOMEN
(By the Associated Press

Washington. May 19.-During the Phil
ippine investigation before the Senate
committee today letter was read from
General Hughes denying that he had ever
given orders for the water cure and say
ing that if such a charge was made he
wanted the fullest investigation of it.
Corporal Richard O'Brien, formerly of the
Twenty-siXth volunteer infantry, testified
to seeing the water cure administered.
'"There was" he said, "a Spanish wo-
man IN the town-a woman of education
who was violated by the American Off

This statement was made without any
questioning and as soon as the wit
ness had made it Senator Lodge asked
for the names of the officers. These the
witness said, he could not give. adding
that he had not witnessed the incident,
but that the woman's husband was his
authority for the statement
Senators Rawlins and Patterson OBJ
iected to the testimony as mere hearsay
and urged that it should not go into the
record. The witness then was asked if
he could not give further proof of the
correctness of his charge. In response
he related another instance of disorderly
conduct which had, he said, come un-
der mis- own observation. This occurred
at San Joaquin, the presidente of which
place gave a reception to which a num-
ber of native women were invited from
Ilolo.
'They were" he said "above the aver
age-not peasant women" Among those
present We're Captain Mcdonald, Lieutcn-
ant Plummer. of Company NJ and Major
Cook. The witness said these officers
became intoxicated and while in that con-
dition threw off all their clothes except
their undershirts and their trousers. and
catching the women about the waist in
sisted upon their waltzing with them
much to the disgust of the women.
Witness said he was not on good terms
with his captain He also said that at
one place a woman with two children
was burned to death in bamboo shack
when the troops were burning the town.

stated, were issued to the troops in the
