reason for the delay is because the pro-
paganda was unwilling to decide in favor
Of the supplicant, on a point which
might possibly raise the question of the
legality Of many other marriages.
The lawyers of the princess expect to
secure an annulnent on the ground that
there is no evidence OF a dispensation
having been either granted or read in
the church at the time of the marriage
which. according to canon law, is indis-
pensable, as Mr.. Parkhurst was a nom

these formalities are generally omitted,
and that a decision in favor of the

to malevolence. The case had aroused

San FRANCISCO. CAL, Sept. A.

times and seriously wounded at his homa
last night. His assaiiants were Thomas
Fl. Williams, Jr.. president of the Cali.

former United States Minister to Persia
and Greece, and a well-known clubman
OF this city Neither Will say who did
the shooting, but Marriott says it was
Williams.
Inc affair was occasioned by a pub
llcation in the News Letter OF Saturday
last, which was regarded as seriously
rejecting upon the reputation of young
lady well known in the best San Fran
cisco society No name was printed, but
it was charged that the name of the
young lady referred TO could be easily
gathered from the context
No affair in recent years has caused
such a sensation. Both Beale and WIZ
liams have been prominent financially
and socially for years, and they probabl.
are as Well known in other parts of the
country as in California. Marriott In
herited the News Letter. a weekly pub

old friend of her family, for assistance.
Beale asked the advice of Williams, and
together they went to Marriott's house.
The shooting followed. In speaking OF
the affair Beale said:
WE'LL KNOWN IN SOCIETY.
THE attack was made on a particularly
warm friend of mine. who lives with her
mother in San Rafael. She is well known

Special to Times-R Republican.
Des Moines, June 12.--The state ex-
ecutive council upon which deVolves
the duty of making the railroad assess
ments is approaching that bothersomc
task and early in July will take up the
reports of the railroad companies and
such other information as the council
has at it's disposal and will proceed to
make the assessment on which taxes
will be levied. The reports have all
been on file for some weeks They are
in the usual form; but since they were
filed the council has adopted and pro-
mulgated set of rules for guidance OF
the railroad accountants in making fu-
ture reports. These new rules go much
deeper into the business of the compa-
ries than anything ever before devised.
AS a result there were protests from
the accountants of the companies.
They announced frankly that when
they make reports, as they will be re-
quired to do, giving what purports to
be an exact and equitable division Of
the accounts both as to receipts and
expenses, so as to show just how much
of the business is to be credite to Iowa,
they will be doing nothing more than
recording their best guesses. This is
especially true, so they said. of the item
Of operating expenses. At present the
plan adopted by the railroad account
ants in making division of operating
expenses is to divide on q mileage pro-
rata basis all the general expenses and
Givide on a train mileage basis all the
other expenses which can not be def
n!tely located. After al: this is an ar
.bitrary division. And so it is possible
that the executive council in arriving
at operating expenses, and consequent
ly net earnings may make a rule Of its
own this year, and divide expenses on
the same basis as earnings A rough
computation along this line shows that
II the expenses We're so divided on all
rhe systems reporting for Iowa 1t would
make net increase in the net earnings
of about three and q half million dol
lars. The companies make reports
which show that the net earnings in
Iowa last year aggregated $16.535,93S
II the operating expenses had been fig
ured at the same proportion of the sys |
tenn as in the case of gross receipts,
then the net earnings in Iowa would
have been about s2O.0O0.OO0. The diff
ference is regarded as indicating the
variation in methods of making the di-
vision between state and interstate
business. Should the executive council
decide upon making; its own estimates
of the operating expenses rather than
accepting the figures of the companies, |
which are declared by the railroad |
accountants to be nothing more than
guesses. it will materially affect the |
railroad assessment for the next year. /

GOAL MEN DESPERATE
Striking Miners Attempt to As.
sassinate a Superintendent
OF Mines.
Locomotive on Which Official
Was Riding Fired on From
Ambush.
The Strikers Are Growing More
Restive Under the Continued
IdIeness.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 12.-It was
learned at the Office of the Lehigh Val
ley Coal Company today that an at
tempt was made on the life of Superin-
tendent Thomas Thomas, of the COM
pany's colliery at Old Forge, north of
this city. For the last four days a
crowd has been gathering each morning
and evening on the hill which over
looks the colliery and throwing stones
at the men at work within the enclos-
ure. The day and night superintend-
ents do not live in the colliery as do
many other employees and they are talk
en- to and from the colliery on a loco
motive. Last night the night superin-
tendent reached the colliery safely. A
few minutes later Superintendent
Thomas came out and when about 800
yards from the breaker, he says, a
number of men who We're in ambush
opened fire on the locomotive. Fortu-
nately the engine was travelling rapidly
and it was soon out of range of the fire.
The officials say about ten shots We're
fired? The miners union is doing ev-
erything possible to have it's idle men
at that point to keep the peace.

No Reply to Operators,

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 12.--When
President Mitchell was asked if he had
any statement to make with reference
to the correspondence between him and
the presidents of the coal RAILROAD
companies, he said:
They have made out the miners
case very we'll. I could wish no better
exposition of our cause than the oper-
ators have given.
Asked if he would make detailed
reply to the presidents statement, Mr..
Mitchell said he could not say how that
would be. He was in conference with
the three district presidents of the
Mine Workers union the greater part
of the day and last evening, and the
impression prevails that within few
days Mr.. Mitchell will issue broad
side response TO the statement from the
operators.
AS to West Virginia, Mr.. Mitchell
said that 2S,500 miners in West Vir-
ginia had quit work. and that he ex-
pected to hear within few days that
the remaining 1,5OO had also quit. He
said that he had telegraphed to employ
counsel to defend the seven asitators
who are under arrest in Fairmont, w.
Va for violation of an injunction.
Railroad men in the anthracite
country have shown some symptoms of
unrest within the last week. They had
adopted resolutions of sympathy with
the strikers and the employees of he
Delaware, Schuylkill and Susquehanna
roaG struck rather than haul nom
union men CT provisions and supplies
for non union men over the roads. Lee
high Valley men took their places and
were called upon by the union to re-
turn to their old jobs.
For several days back neither nom
union men nor supplies for non-uaion
men have been carried over the Della
ware, Schuylllill and Susquehanna line.
Yesterday morning eight of the old en-
ployes started to go back to work at
Freeland. They were intercepted by a
crowd of strikers and induced to re-
turn to their homes. The drenching
rain that has fallen all day over the
entire anthracite region has had it's ef-
feet in keening down the tendency 10
violence which is latent everywhere.
Reports from all quarters up 10 9
o'clock this evening are of peace and
ouietude. There was an incipient ..ict
at the William A. mine yesterday. but
it was quickly suppressed by strike
leaders, who hurried to the scene.
