DEADLY PISTOL DUEL
Officers and Farmers Have Trsbly
Fatal Fight in Little Mis-
souri, Town.

st. Louis, July A special to the Post
Dispatch from SteelvilIe. No, says:
One dead and three perhaps fatally in
Jured is the result Of a duel with re-
volvers which took place here this after
noon between Sheriff w. R. Taft OF
Crawford county, his deputy, Perry Ives.
Deputy Marshal John Woods and Robert
Starks, a farmer. and his son, Hirschel
aged % years Robert Starks was shot
through the heart, death resulting in
stantly. W. r. Taft. the sheriff. was
shot through the stomach, and win die;
Hirschel Stark was fatally shot and
Perry Ives, deputy sheriff, was shot in
the mouth and leg. His condition is
dangerous.
The trouble originated in the refusal
of young Starks to submit to arrest. He
was charged with having offended the
daughter of Benjamin Ogles. wealthy
farmer. who filed complaint against him.
When Sheriff Taft approached Starks
warned him away. saying there would
be trouble if he attempted to take him
into custody. Robert Starks came up at
that moment and. after learning that his
son was about to be arrested. he hurried
nome, where he procured a revolver. He
returned to the Crawford bank building
where the sheriff and his son were stand
ing.
htIts take LllSs SdlQ Inc elQer SHARKS
to his son, land If Taft won't leave you
alone you viii know how to protect your
self"
The sheriff took young starks by the
arm and tried to argue with him, but to
no purpose. He then took Hirschel by
the arm, and as he did so the prisoner
began firing. One of the bullets struck
Taft In The stomach and he sank uncon-
scious to the ground. Ives, who was at
tracted by the shots ran up the street
with revolver in hand, and opened fire
as he saw young Starzs brandishing his
weapon. Hirschel Starks fell at the first
shot and his father then wrested the pis-
tol from him and began firing on the
deputy sheriff. The latter was shot
twice. the first bullet taking effect in
his mouth, the other lodging in the right
leg.
City. Marshal Woods came to the res
cue Of the officers at this point. a few
moments later the elder StarlSs fell dead
with a bullet through his heart.
It is believed that Deputy Sheriff Ives
is the only one Of the four shot who has
any chance TO recover The shooting Oc-

CHOATE FOR STATUES
Ambassador Discusses Anglo
American Unity at London
Patriotic Celebrate on.

London, July 4.-The American So
ciety in London celebrated Independ-
ence day as usual tonight by a dinner,
at which about 500 persons were pres
enl. Among the guests were Ambas-
sador Choate. Senator Chauncey NJ.
'Depew. the Greek and Cuban minis
tiers and the Duke of Newcastle. JUS
tice Sir William Grantham. in propOs-
ing the health Of Ambassador ChOate,
said MIR Choate was regarded here as
an EngliShman. In replying to the
toast Ambassador ChOate denied the
impeachment, saying; I cannot claim
or admit that 1 have become an Eng

man OF the seventeenth century. with
all the modern improvements which so
10 an American of today"
Referring to the American eagle, ne
said the British lion had tried him
twice and had found him indigestible.
Mr.. Choate struck a serious note in
the course of his speech by declaring
that all the talk OF Anglo-American
unity ought to be more than talk, and
ne advocated the erection of a statue
OF Washington in London in the ''mu-
tual admiration of both countries"
1T Is hard TO say" continued the
ambassador, for which country Wash
ington did most. / also want TO see
a statue of the great Queen Victoria
in Washington. At a critical moment
she absolutely saved US from a con-
fliet with Europe"
In this way, he said. he hoped that
an Anglo-American compact would be
sealed. He called the attention of
American visitors to the historic as
sociations connected with London
churches and certain institutions, and
offered to show them the sights.
Senator Depew. following in a hui
morous vein, suggested the erection of
a statue in London to Monroe, and
said he felt quite at home in London

prevailing topic in parliament, at the

FOURTH AT THE
HOME OF BRYAN
Tom Johnson Talks of City
Government.
SPECIAL PRIVILEGE FOR NONE
TAMMANY HAS BIG DAY IN
NEW YORK.

Lincoln, Neb., July 4.-The Jefferson
club celebration of Independence day
took tplaee at Fairview, the country
home of w. J. Bryan. Crowds from the
city and from the state filled the little
public park surrounding the house.
Tom L. Johnson. mayor of Cleveland,
was the principal speaker. Howard S.
Taylor, city prosecuting attorney Of
Chicago, also spoke
Mr.. Bryan introduced Mr.. Johnson,
who took as his subject Local Self
government" and devoted his time al
most wholly to his work in Ohio. The
Jeffersonian doctrine of equal rights
for all and special privileges for none
was the speakers keynote. In Cleve-
land, he said, he and his friends, sup
ported by a majority of the people
there. were striving to secure to all
the people Of the municipality equal
rights. This was the kind of practical
work, he proceeded, which needs most
to be done at the present time.
No Special Privileges.
For" said he, eff our municipalities.
our villages, our towns and cities are
governed in accordance with the prin-
ciples of the Declaration of Independ-
ficially affected, even UP to the high
est. The true unit of government is
the municipality. Let there be no
special privileges there and soon there
will be no special privileges at ALL
1t was with this feeling, Mr.. Johnson
said, that he had entered into the poll
tics of Cleveland two years ago.
1t had been an uphill fight from the
beginning. 1t is an uphill fight still
1t will be an uphill fight in the future
Whoever suppOses that plutocracy
will yield easily is mistaken" he said
But great gains have been made. The
plutOcracy of Cleveland, which, like
plutocracy everywhere, stands pat for
special privileges for few and equal
rights for none, has been beaten at
some points and is on the defensive at
all points,
Mr.. Johnson said there could be no
local government Of the people, by the
people and for the people so long as
legislatures are controlled by political
bosses and for corporations. He ex-
planned further that he and his friends
do not fight Republicanism alone. and
that they are clearing out of their
own party the bosses who do secret
business with the corporations.

revolutionary songs. An uproar and
conflict between the guards and the
prisoners followed and attracted a
large crowd of sympathizers with the
latter. The Grand Duke Vladimir Wis
tied the prison at the head of q. COM
pany Of infantry which had been sum
mOned TO Quell the riot. He declared
that the over crowding was deplorable,
remarked that the army was not de-
signed to do the duty of prison guards
and Immediately reported the condition
of the prison to the car.

FAD A HUGE oLD TIME.

William Steck. G. +. Gibson and Bert
Turner were arrested at Calder's park
last evening by Sheri< Emery. When
locked UP in the county jail the men
looked like cartoon. Steck had been
kicked about the face and head until
he had more Jumps than Job. G.. F.
Gibson had his head split open and had
to have a doctor sew up his wounds,
while Turner had a mouth full of loose
teeth and some of them were missing.
The men became involved in q fight
at the park about the time the sheriff
arrived. He arrested them, but the men
furnished bail in the sum of SO each
and We're released until this morning.
