HOSTILE nOROS

Manila, April 11.-Captain Perish
fns's force captured Bacolod, Island Of
Mindanao, Wednesday. killed hun
dred Moros and wounded many others.
Three Americans were wounded.
Pershing's force consisted of Shaw's
battalion of the Twenty-seventh infan-
try, Kilpatrick's troop OF the FIJI
teenth cavalry and McNair's battery.
Captain Pershings was surveying the
west shore lands. when the Bacolodians
opposed his advance and provoked inc
fight. Pershing's force surrounded anu
attacked the stronghold. first shclling
them and rushing his troops forward,
charged gallantly.
After crossing a deep moat and en-
tering the fort the Americans engaged
the Moros. bayonets against krisses. A
hundred of the defenders were killed,
including the datto of Panandungan,
and many others were wounded. only
three Americans were wounded. After
the capture of the fort 1t was de-
stroyed.
The Bacolod leaders and the majcri-
ty of the people of that district had
been hostile to the Americans and en-
couraged attacks on American camps.
They rejected the tenders of friend
ship.
1t is expected that the defeat of the
Bacolodians will result in all the
Moros acknowledging American SOW
ereignty.
Pershing's column is going to Para
hue, which is also hostile.

Ire Real Londan Fog.

Col. Harry Johnson, who knows the
London fog as he knows bread. said
the other day: Tho yellow fog is
the worst variety. 1t is 80 thick that
you can not see your hand at arms
length. Policemen find their way
along their beats by following the
curbstone, feeling inch by inch. l
once felt along in the same way in a
part of London with which had been
familiar for years. and actually ran
plump into bobby whom could
not see. In the ordinary fog I was
accustomed to guide myself as to 10
cality by the church bells, each OF
which, knew perfectly well by sound,
but in the yellow fog ! speak of the
sounds were so deadened and mingled
that they gave no sense of direction.
A genuine London fog would paralyze
all business and tra1ic in New York.

Rio erande lnerea,e. Waaes.

Denver, April 12.-The Rio Grande
railroad reached an agreement with its
engineers and firemen yesterday on
the wage question. At final confer
ence between Manager Edison and the
engineers committee yesterday after
noon It was agreed that engineers and
firemen should receive an increase o.
wages Of five per cent. for those on or
binary or simple engines. and seven
and one-half per cent. for those on
compound engines.
The original demand of the engine
men was for an increase of fifteen per
cent. for simple and twenty per cent.
for compound engines. This the Off
cials refused to grant, claiming that
the wages Of the engineers and fire.
men were already higher than those
Of any other class of employees. The
question was discussed back and forth
for weeks. and 1t was only after the
settlement had been reached with the
conductors and brakemen a week ago
that the enginemen and the company
oficers began to get together. Every
thing was finally arranged In a way

HIGHLY SENSATIONAL MURDER
CASE STIRS EASTERN COLORADO

Denver. April ia special dispatch
TO the Republican from Akron last
night Gays:
The verdict of the coroncr's jury,
which has been all week probing into
the mystery connected with the assas-
sination Of Joseph Mcenan, was made
public late this evening. 1t is as fol-
lows:
THAT the deceased came to his death
on the 3rd of April, 1908. in the county
of Washington by four gunshot
wounds inflicted by one or more OF
the following named persons: Perry
Tuttle. George l. Tuttle. Frank Irwin.
Elmer Shanks and Clinton Dansdill,
and that all of said persons conspired
to kill, or abetted in the killing, and
that said killing was felonious."
Prior to making known to the public
the contents of the verdict, informa-
tions were filed against the persons
named in the coroner's findings. and
all were later placed under arrest by
Sheriff Ball.
The prisoners will be taken to Jail
at Denver. They left here on the
O'Clock Burlington train and will reach
Denver at O'Clock Sunday.
The trial of the prisoners is expected
to be the most sensational In the his
tory of eastern Colorado. George l

George Tuttle. Mrs. Perry Tuttle is su-
perintendent OF schools for Washing
ton county.
Elmer Shanks is a cousin OF the Tut
tie boys. and Clinton Dansdill, the 9TH
er prisoner, is an employe Of the Tut
ties.
Naturally. all sorts OF rumors are
afioat. One story heard on the streets
of Akron is that Perry Tuttle will be
charged with the shooting Of Meenan
and that the other defendants will be
tried as accessories.
1t was brought out at the coroner's
inquest that most Of the men now un-
der arrest made threats against the life
| of Joseph Meenan. although these
threats were made at the time of the
| killing OF John Irwin by Joseph Nee
| nan. and when excitement was running
high.
One of the questions most frequently
| heard here is: where was Perry Tut
tie on the night Of the Meenan muir

quest that he spent the night at his
fathers ranch. sha1ks and Dansdill
corroborated this story. Meenan was
shot about 8 O'Clock Friday night al-
though the body was not found until
| Sunday following. Perry Tuttle,
Shanks and Dansdill tell the same gen
eral story as to how they spent FRI
day night. but 1t is claimed, on the
other hand, that 1t differs in detail
sufficiently to cast doubts on 1t.

VALUE OF AUTOMOBILES.
Will Greatly Enlarge seetsl and ousl-

With the universal adoption Of the
motor car. which we are told to ex-
pect In the very near future. we shall
be able to live three times as much IN
the same span of years, our horizon
will be extended and our lives will be
wider and more interesting.
The motor age, on which we have
already notwithstanding to Henry
Norman. who contributes an interest
ing forecast to the Worlds Work
will effect a revolution as remarkable
as that brought about by the steam To-
connective.
"The average radius of the horse
keeper of to-day" says Mr.. Norman,
''is twelve miles. With car of ten
or twelve horsepower the radius OF
the whole family Is comfortably thirty
miles.
"The area of a circle whose radius
is twelve miles is 462 square miles,
but the area Of one whose radius is
thirty miles is 2.s27 square miles.
Thus the car owner has a sphere Of
activity exceeding by 2,375 square
miles that of the horse owner, with all
Its additional opportunities of inter
course with his fellows.
''In other words. the possession of a
car multiplies the contents and the
effective sphere of mans life.
Think of what it means. Every
friend within 5000 square miles can
be invited. any pls.ce OF worship or
lecture or concert attended and bust

conditions. 1t is a revolution in daily
life.
THE influence upon the community
will be no less than upon the individ-
ual. Our country districts will revive.
