The most disastrous shot was that
which went through the plate glass
window OF the barber shop. 1t Went
across the street and hit 4 plate glass
window of the Niaricopa and Phoenix
offices. cracking it into several pieces.
The glass was not only ruined. but
with it a work OF art in the shape of j
sign which had been completed at :,
cost of about $40. The damage to the
railroad office was in the neighborhood
of s150. The gun was long barreled
American revolver of IS caliber.
Soon after the shooting Mrs. Harper
was arrested by Deputy Constable
Porter The officers also began Il hunt
for Harper. but he had not time to get
back yet. When ne came he was taken
to the office of the sheriff and satisfied
the officers that he would be present
1 t the trial of his wife.
She was arraigEed before Justice Bur-
nett in the afternoon, and her preiiin-
mary examination on a charge of as
sault with intent to commit murder
was set for this afternoon.
When Harper was asked by the au-
thorities about the case he was dis
posed to be non communicative. He had
got it into his head that the law alb
solved him from testifying against his
wife. A threat by the district attor-
neys ctiice to put him in Jail unsealed
his lips.

SHOTS WERE WELL MEANT
But Sent by His Wife They Went
Asiray Of Jesse Harper

The air was filed with bullets in pur-
suit OF Jesse Harper. a colored boot
black, yesterday morning The person
behind the gun was his wife. Rosa
Harper She does not appear to nave
qualified for membership in the Phoenix
gun club. but her shooting was suffi-
GENTLY accurate 10 suit her husband
The gun practice took place at Ho-
gan's barber shop on North Center
street. near Washington, about s
o'clock. The Harpers have not been
living happily for some time. Mrs.
Harper said there is another woman
mixed in their troubles. but that faCt
had only remote connection with the
shooting. The more immediate ani1nus
was a series of beatings which she says
her husband had been inficting upon
her.
Harper had recently purchased the
bootblack stand at Eogan's. and he
thought he was on the high road 10
wealth. His wife called at the shop i
little before s O'Clock and eng2 ged il
ian alteration with him They went
into q rear room and the sound of {,
scuffie was heard. The next thing that
attracted popular attention was the
flight of Harper. toward the front door
with Mrs. Harper armed with a gun II
pursuit. She fired two shots which
went into the ceiling Two more We're
fired at Harper as he was going out OF
the door. One Of them was about the
right height to go through the back OF
his neck, but it was Il little wide and
went through a plate glass window at
the side OF the door. By this time the
shop was eTnptied OF attaches and GUS
toners and incidentally of Harper. He
turned down the first alley he came TO
and his wife. running to the head of the
alley, fred the remaining shot in thu
gun at him. Whether her aim was good
or not Will never be known, for by this
time he had attained a. speed which
would have distanced any bullet There
is a story about his overtaking and col
liding with Z street car near Eastlake
park, but that could not be verified.

Thomas z. Flanagan has lately re-
turned from the southern part of the
territory. He was at Douglas the night
the Abbey saiocn was held up by lone
bandit the latter part of last week
The robber appears to have been sort
of a humorist. The proprietor of the
saloon is Tim Maloney, a SON Law of
Redmond Toohey. He is a small Irish
man, but has the reputation of Will
ingness at all times to fight against
great ODDS. No man could have held
up the saloon in his presence without
trouble. The robber must have known
Of MIR. Naloney's characteristics. FOR
before he began operations ne entered
the saloon. took a drink and asked the
bartender ii Mr.. Malonsy was about:
The bartender replied that he was no..
The stranger then asked now soon he
would likely come. The bartender said
ne would not be back that night; he

The stranger went out and within five

fastened about the lower part Of his
face and ordered the dozen men who

the wall. They all did so except the
roulette dealer
''Will you kindly oblige me-" said the

table and standing with your face to

PARLIAMENT is OPPOSED TO
EXTREMES IN RITUALISM.
Church Discipline Bill Earnestly De-
bated On Nonparty Lines in the
the House of Commons.

London, March 1.-THE entire sitting o!
the House of Commons yesterday was &C.
cupied with the discussion Of the church
discipline BILL which passed its second read
Ing by 139 to 81 votes.
The Archbishop Of Canterbury. Doctor
Davidson. and Lord Halifax, president of
the English Church Union, occupied seats
in the peers gallery.
The debate, which was strictly on non
party lines, brought out strong sentiment
on both sides of the House against extreme
ritualism.
The bill proposes giving the civil courts
the right to take cognizance OF proceedings
brought by laymen to prevent the practice
Of extreme ritualism, abolisheS the Bishops
right of veto and provides that offending
clergymen may be deprived Of their hvinss.
Premier Balfour opposed the measure. He
said the new Archbishop Of Canterbury
should have time to carry out his plans for
reform.
Mr.. Balfour admitted that Illegal prac-
tees must be put down, but he preferred to
extend the authority Of the church rather
than to adopt a policy which would rem
der the episcopate almost superhuity."
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. Liberal, in
supporting the bill. said the conditions had
reached a stage where, If the right of veto
were left to the Bishops and laymen had no
rights In ecclesiastical matters, 1t would be
better to disestablish the church.

romance which is likely to occupy the at
tention OF the House Of Lords for many
months to come is based on a claim for the
restoration of the most ancient barony in
England. which has been in allegiance for
four centuries. The claimants are two COM
paratively young and beautiful women, the
Countess Of Marlborough, who holds the title
of Baroness Couyers in her own right. and
the Countess Of Fowls They claim that
they are coheirs to the barony of Faucon-
berg and Meinill, in the peerage Of England.
The petitioners, in statement to the
Lords. say that they do not wish to add to
the number OF peers, because both are wives
of peers, and both have male issue, in
whose persons these peerages would be
merged in the higher peerages to which
they are heirs apparent. But they claim
that the barony of Fauconberg Is the Oldest

AMERICAN WOMEN'S HIGH
PLACE IN ENGLISH SOCIETY.

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
London. March H.-(Copyright, 1s0S.)-Ar
interview with the Marquis Carlo di Ru-
DIM, which the newspaper, LItalie, OF
Rome, recently published, on the impress
sions acquired during his recent visit to the
United States, has been quoted rather ex-
tensvely in England, and has caused con-
siderable talk in society circles.
The Marquis, speaking Of American wom-
en- who marry European noblemen,is quoted
as saying that they are generally de
very probable that the word 'declasses''
was not intended by the Marquis oil Rudini
to be used as 1t was, still the interview
has caused people in London to ask whether
the Marquis has any foundation for such
statements. A society correspondent writes:
80 far as England is concerned. the Mar
quis Carlo di Rudini's statements are alb
solutely wrong. as Is demonstrated beyond
q dorht by the ascendency which American
women have obtained in English society. I
have discussed the subject with various
great leaders of society. and, so far as I can
gather. the women principally responsible
for bringing about this state of affairs are
Mrs. Arthur Paget. Consuelo, Duchess of
Manchester, Mrs. George CORVALLIS " est
and Mrs. Ronalds.''
One has only to look at what may be
termed the ultra smart set to see for one 8
self the great popularity OF American wom-
en- in England. For instance, in addition to
those have mentioned, Americans who are
in the most exclusive circles, include the
Duchess of Marlborough. Lady Lister-Kaye.
Lady Nayior-Leyland, Mrs. Adare, Mrs.
Henry White, Lady Essex, Lady Craven,
the Duchess of Manchester, Lily. Duchess
of Marlborough. Cora, Lady Stafford; Lady
Donoughonore. Lady Dufferin, Mrs. Brad
ley Martin. Lady Barrymore, Mrs. Jack
Leslie. Mrs. Mackay. Lady Deerhurst, Mrs.
Chauncey, Mrs. Jaffray. Lady Grey-Eger-
ton, Lady Cheylesmore, Lady Abinger, Mrs,
Dudley Leigh, Nine. Won Andre. Nine. de
Dominguez and a number Of others.
OF these Consuelo, Duchess Of Manchester,
has a very long time been an intimate
friend of Queen Alexandra. Mrs. Arthur
Paget, who, as Miss Mary Stevens, was enc
Of the pioneers of the American social in
vasion, was at once taken up by what was
then called the Marlborough house set nd
became a close friend Of the then Prince
and Princess of Wales, a position which
she has sustained ever since.
Mrs. George Cornwallis-West Is another
example of the success that has attended
the entry of American women into English
society. Mrs. Ronald's name is indissoIubly
associated with the social fife of London.
Her house in Cadogan place is a meeting
place for the most prominent members of
society. Mrs. Henry White is to be met at
London. She is one Of the few women not
of English birth who are entitled to wear
the Kings coronation medal.
Without particularizing further, 1t may De
said that all the ladies mentioned contribute
largely to the success Of the London social
season by their presence and entertain
ments.

LACLEDE POWER COMPANY
TO INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK
Increase of business Prompts Direct
ors to Incrense Capacity of
Lighting Plant.

The Laclede Power Company, at a meet
ing of its directors yesterday. decided to
increase its capital stock from $4,000 to
100000.
The proposition will be laid before the
stockholders at a special meeting on May
IS. This meeting. 1t Is said. will be simply
a legal formality, as a canvass of the
stockholders developed that they are in
favor of the increase.
Business OF the company has increased to
such an extent that the directors found It
necessary to adopt plans for increasing the
capacity Of its plaFt. The plant, located at
Lewis and OFtS.on streets. has now
capacity Of about 5000 kilowatts. The prin-
cipal business Of the company is in the
downtown and manufacturing districts.
The increase in capacity of the I.aclede
Power Company will add an important fac
tor to the local lighting and power situa-
ton. The company has a well-established
business, which it will doubtless hold. 1t is
thought with the extending of its capac-
ity, the fields of the Missouri-Edison and
Union companies will be cut to a material
degree.
The Laclede Power Company has not been
included in any of the lighting and nower
consolidation rumors. Directors Of the com
pany. it is said, are in favor of running It
as an independent concern. The directors
are: Henry c. Scott, president; e. V. Mat
lack, manager; Samuel W. Fordyce j. c.
Van Blarcom and Thomas H. West.
