SHOT HIS STEPSONs
Examination of "Jack" Holmes
Commenced at Appleton.
YES OF THE WIFE ARE OPENED
Letters Pave the Way
for a Divorce Suit She
Will Start.
Special to The Journal

Special to The Journal
Appleton, Wis, March 1O.-John J.
Holmes, who recently shot his three
stepsons, Martin, George and Henry Wal
tiers, was this week arraigned before
Judge Boyd on the charge of assault with
intent to kill The first two days Of the
examination were occupied in the exam
nation of six witnesses for the state and
to-day an adjournment was taken for two
weeks, owing to the condition Of George
Walters, the most seriously wounded OF
the three.
The tragedy occurred on the evening Of
Feb. Is, in the boiler house Of the Wal
tiers brewery and was the result of a
series of quarrels which originated with
the marriage of Mrs. Walters to Jack
Holmes about year ago. Up to the time
of the death of Henry Walters, the owner
of the Walters brewery, and the first hus-
band Of the present Mrs. Holmes, Jack
Holmes had been employed at the brew
cry. Soon after the death of her hus-
band, Mrs Walters went to Denver, where
she was followed by Holmes and where
they soon after were married. This
action Of Mrs. Walters was very much to
the displeasure of her three sons. Upon
the settlement of the estate, Mrs. Wal
tiers was appointed administrative, which
power was later taken from her and Chris
Walters of Neenah, appointed trustee.
The estate, which is valued at about
$120,000, is still in court, the contention
being that Mrs. Holmes and her husband
are demanding an undue portion.
On the evening of the attempted MUIR
der, Holmes was captured by the police
and taken to the county Jail, where he has
since been. A few days ago. his wife
came into possession of two letters
written to Holmes by other women, which
betrayed the fact, that since his marriage
with her he has not been true. This, to-
gether with reports which came to her
through neighbors and friends, led her to
investigate and she has now decided to
desert him and let him fight his own case.
She will at once apply for divorce.

INVASION OF DIXIE
Northern Lumbermen Are Going
After Southern Pine.
A BIG COMPANY WILL BE FORMED
The Syndicate VIII Represent Many
of the Leading Minnesota
Lumbermen.

The yellow pine of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi is likely to become formidable
rival Of the white pine of Minnesota IN
territory heretofore exclusively dominated
by the latter product.
A somewhat remarkable feature OF the
situation is that the heavy lumber in
terests of the white pine district Will
themselves create the competition between
the two commodities. .
In a few dayls articles of Incorporation
will be filed in this state for the formation
or new lumber company which has lately
purchased large tracts Of yellow pine tim
Der In Louisiana and Mississippi. The 10
Cal interests involved are the Boyey-
Clark, Shevlin- Carpenter, Queal and other
companies. The Weyerhauser and Lamb
interests are also said to be behind the
new company.
A syndicate composed of nine capital
lists from Minnesota, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Boston has recently made an extern
sive inspection of the pine lands Of Louis
lana, Mississippi and Arkansas, with the
result that lands in the two former states
valued at S1,5OO,00O and comprising thou
sands of acres have been purchased. These
lands are along the Gulf of Mexico in
Louisiana and are reached by the Illinois
Central railroad in both states. The to-
tai amount Of money involved in recent
and prospective operations of the new
company is $2,50O,000.
A large mill is to be erected at once in
the heart Of the Mississippi tract which
contains about 10000 acres, and in a few
months yellow pine will be competing
with the white product in northwestern
territory.
The syndicate will be able to invade
southeastern Iowa and Nebraska because
OF freight rates identical with those APP
plying from northwestern points to those
localities. In other words, the Illinois
Central will make such favorable rates
that the southern pine can be brought
north with profit to the syndicate and the
railroad. t.-- s..
1t is understood that Louis K Hull
who is largely interested in the deal, will
be president Of the new company

MAYER WILL RETURN j.
He Will Go to Japan without Fur
Their Litigation.

Francis S. Mayer, held for extradition
to Japan, will return without appeal. To-
day he determined to make no further
fight in the courts against the warrant
of the secretary of state. He was much
surprised at the action of Secretary Hay
in so summarily issuing the instrument
a personal representation to President
Roosevelt. These plans have been aban-
doned and unless there is a change in
the program Mayer will leave Minneapo-
lis March 10 for Yokohama
Mrs. Mayer does not wish to return
with her husband and expects either to
remain in Minneapolis with her children
or to make her home with Mayors par
ents in Frankfort pending the trial in
Japan. r....
The family lived we'll in Japan and were
well known in Yokohama Mrs. Mayer,
1t is understood is member of large
family, three sisters of which are un-
married, and she does not wish to re-
turn to be burden upon than. Men
monopollze employment in that country
and the prospect for work with suitable
compensation is not bright. Mayer be-
lleves that his parents, who have only one
other child, would be glad to keep her
and the two wee children.
In event OF her return to Japan, Mar
snail GrlmshaW has plan to relieve the
temporary difficulty of providing means
OF transportation and living while en-
route. s :"
1t is only after long elaboration that
Mayer made his decision Friends have
advised him to return to Yokohama, where
he has influential friends.

WITHOUT HAMLET
A St. Paul String Fiend and ssMs
Prince" In Minnesota,

The st. Paul .'pipe" man Of the New
York Commercial has been .tstringing,
his paper at a woeful rate. Under a st.
Paul date line of March 4, the Commercial
vouchsafes the informal ion that Prince
Henry left ST. Paul for the east at mid
night. The tpipe' smokes on as follows:
Brilliant receptions have been held here
and in Minneapolis in his honor to-day.
Accompanied by Governor Van SAINT. the
prince placed wreath on Lincoln,s
statue to-day.
Absurd as this tale was, there appears
to have been some slight justification for
1T. On the day that Prince Henry met
Governor Van SAINT in Milwaukee he ex-
pressed an .over-weening desire to visit
the twin cities. This was after the touch
democratic he received when the COVER
nor slapped him on the back as he would
Prince William Henry Eustis, and said
cheerily: Come on, Mr.. Prince. and meet
the boys"
The day following the Minnesota greet
ing, the prince put himself in telepathic
communication with the governor and his
staff, and told them to go ahead and pre-
pare for his reception, that he was with
them to a FRAGILE. Forgetting that this
beautiful ebullition Of feeling came from
the town made famous by the Gambrinus ),
beverage, the Minnesotans took the prince
at his word, and thus the news got out.

BEATING THE STANDARD OIL GAME.
Nebraska State Journal .e

= An Interesting method OF lighting the Stand
ard Oil company has been developed in
Indiana. The consumers in several small
towns have Clipped in, for the erection of
storage tanks near the railroad, which are
filled by shipments of kerosene and gasolene
from the independent refneries at Toledo
From these tanks kerosene is sold at cents
a gallon, against the Standard price of 10
cents, and gasolene at 9 cents against the
old price of 1914 cents The rule Is for tho
Standard company to reduce it's prices far
below cost soon these tanks are estab-
lished In a community. The promoters OF
the movement advise that when this is done
the Independent tanks be closed, but kept in
condition to open whenever the price is adj
yanced. In this manner, 1t is claimed, the
people can protect themselves very easily
saving enough in short time in the price Of
oils to pay all of the expenses of setting
up the little Independent plants.
1t is not improbable that the discovery Of
great bodies of oil in the SOUTH and the erec-
ton of refineries there, will make it profit
able to adopt this method of fighting the
Standard Oil company in the south and
west.

WAS THERE A KNIFE?
Coroner's Inquest Doesn't Tend to
Help Gallahugh's Case.
SOME SAY COLLINS WAS UNARMED
The Coroner Hampered by the Alb
sence of Several Important
Witnesses.

The four known witnesses of the shoot
Ing of Charles Collins at the Hotel San
Angelo on Nicollet avenue near Thtr-
teenth street last night have disappeared.
The most important Of these is Myrtle
Olson, a waitress, who last night related
to the police the complete story Of the
tragedy as she saw it. She was not ar
rested but this morning when a subpoena
was issued for her she could not be found.
Her home is in Benson, Mimi, and she is
known to have gone to st. Paul last night
The other persons who are said to have
seen the shooting but who were not to be
found to-day were Miss Stetson and a
Miss Hall, also mattresses and a girl
named Martha, an assistant janitress.
officers are searching for them.
Michael Erickson, an attendant at the
hotel and the first witness at the inquest
this afternoon, testified that he had heard
the shot and had Immediately ran to the
scene Of the affray. He found Collins
lying on the floor, already dead, while
testified positively that Collins had no
knife The fact that Collins appears to
have been unarned may play an important
part in the case.
Henry Schomberg, proprietor of the San
Angelo. and James B. Perkins, guest,
rushed into the kitchen Immediately after
the shooting and found Mrs. Gallahugh
weeping and crying out: MY husband
has shot the cook. They saw Collins
on the floor, but there was no knife near
him. g..
Collins Well Known.
Collins was about 40 and had lived in
Minneapolis about sixteen years. He was
employed as a cook in local restaurants
and later worked on dining car. He
had wide acquaintance among the col
ored people and is said to have been of
quiet disposition. He had worked at
the San Angelo about two months. His
friends at the hotel deny that he was ag-
gressively attentive to Mrs. Gallahugh,
but say that the young woman was famil-
lar with all Of the help, both men and
women, and that if Collins ever had any
thing to say to her, it was because he
had been given encouragement. They also
say that it is but natural that the cook
should have had knife in his hand when
he was called away from his work. Up
to that time, they say, he had not had
any trouble with Gallahugh and he was
not of disposition that would prompt
MIN to threaten the man with knife
without provocation. Gallahugh, they
say. sat in the room nearly twenty min
utes meditating upon his action before
he spoke to the cook, and then acted be-
fore Collins had opportunity to take the
defensive and before he had reason to be
aggressive. ..
GalIahuSh in Court.
. Gallahugh was arraigned in police court
this morning. He came into the court
room smiling and listened nonchalantly
to the reading of the complaint, which ac-
cused him Of murder in the first degree.
His attorney asked that the hearing be
postponed until after the inquest and the
case was set for next Wednesday. Gal
