ST, LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 14-Norris B.
Gregg, director of concessions for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and
perforce moral censor of the World
Fair, will permit the "Hoochie

protest Of the board of lady managers.
While Mr.. Gregg has not yet the temer-

Oriental terpsichorean eccentricities,
the word has been quietly passed ~
those astute gentlemen who manage
things from the Orient that the mus

When Miss Gould's resolution was
put squarely to Moral Censor Gregg
last night he said: ''No action has
been taken by the fair management on
the resolution, and 1 don't know that
any fixed rule will be adopted in refer
ence to the nature of the exhibits on
the Midway"
This is taken to mean that the

who are of good family, said little of
their rivalry, but on severl occasions
when they met had sharp words, and
once came near getting into physical
mixup.
Yesterday the girls met outside the
village. by appointment, it is said,
having agreed to talk the matter over
and come to some conclusion as to
which was to be the recognized sweet
heart of young Wood. After discuss

girls, who were alone. made an agree

BEWARE OF WATER
THIS SHOULD T6HGn
A Priest Who Drank OF What He
Thought Mineral Water Dies in
Agony.

MANNINGTON, w. Va, Oct. IA
Rev. Father w. G. Pendergast, rector
of St. Mathews Catholic church. died
this morning OF poison. He drank what
he supposed was mineral water during
the night and before daylight was taken
violently sick, vomiting and finally going
into convulsions, from which he never
rallied. Eminent physicians from Wheel
ing were called, but to no avail, and at 8
o'clock he passed away in terrible ago
ny. His servant, who also drank of the
liquid, is in serious condition and will
hardly survive. Traces of EN- mbalming
fluid have been discovered in the water.
Father Pendergast sent to the r. and
O. depot for the mineral water last
night At the same station was a pack
age containing six bottles of EN- balming
fi"id, and it is thought that the contents
became mixed, but in what manner is
yet unexplainab BILE. Miss Pauline Mag
ner, the priests housekeeper, also drank
of the contents of the bottles and is
quite sick, but will recover.

The maddened teacher rushed into

the shots. The man was deliberate
here, too, and made certain that his
next victims were of the families OF
the men who had offended him. Keb-
ler's two little daughters. aged and
10 years, were shot through the body
and will certainly die.
The eleven-y ear-old daughter of
Rempt was then attacked, but the bull

girl in the arm and breaking the bone.
This exhausted six of the seven cart

Ccred evidently minded to save this

care with which the shooting was
done and the effort that was taken to
escape. Toews started to run to the
depot, which IS about mile away.
A few of the neighbors whose at
tention had been attracted by the
noise started in pursuit, and the fugi-

captured. shot himself in the head
He fell to the ground at once, and

HAYWARDS, Cal, Oct. 14-Andrew
Hansen, II years old, who lives with his
parents in Crow Canyon, had needle
removed from his arm today. He swal-
lowed the needle a number of years
ago.
The case is very peculiar one and
has attracted considerable attention.
Ten years ago the boy swallowed an Or
dinary sewing needle. For time he
was troubled with excruciating pains.
These pains gradually ceased, however,
and finally the affair of the needle was
forgotten.
About week ago the boy felt sharp
pains at his elbow, and today the point
of the needle appeared. A pair of PIN
GERS aided in extracting the needle from
the lads arm. and it is undoubtedly
the one that he swallowed in his baby
hood.

Chicago, Oct six thousand Hi

signed q petition asking President
Roosevelt to call an extra session of
congress to enact some measures for
the prevention of a coal famine. One
method suggested in the petition is

is being circulated all over the city of.

''There arc numerous instances
where temporary receivers have been
