TO RESENT INSULT
Woman eashes the Head of an Offending
Visitor.

Mrs. Ellen Shepard, who occupies, with
her family, few rooms on the third floor
of the building at 4S East Seventh street,
used forcible means last night to pun
ish a man whom she said had tormented
her. Her husband being away at work
otu in Montana, she has been keeping
house with her two shildren, and she claims
two men have been annoying her. When
they were coming up the stairs to the
third floor last night she waited for
them at the top, and when they appeared
she struck one on the head blow that
sent him reeling down the stairs. The
man received a cut on the head from
which the blood flowed profusely.
Mrs. Shepard frankly admitted hay-
ing struck the man. He insuIted me
and was obliged to do it, she said and
told her reasons for her action.
When the man appeared on the street
he was seen by. Detective Fraser, who,
after investigating the circumstances,
sent him to the station in the patrol
wagon. No charges were made against
him when first sent up, but after the po-
lice had made more thorough investi-
CATION he was placed under arrest and
charged with disorderly conduct.
The man gave his name as Joe Doe,
but it is said that his true name is
William Paul. He refused to tell how he
was injured. He was baiied out by his
friends.

CROKER LOST ON KEENE
IN IRISH AUTO RACE
His Son, BERTHE, Is Now Learning to
Be a Motor Expert.

Special Foreign Service.
LONDON, Aug. lit seems that
Richard Croker was one of the heaviest
losers over the defeat Of Foxhall
Keene in the recent motor race in Ire
land. He backed his fellow American
heavily in London with firm of book
makers who have begun to make a
specially of motor racing. In spite of
the fact that he lost his money, he still
thinks that Foxhall Keene is the best
motorist in the field, and he declared
on his return to London that he would
back him against the world provided
he was driving a car whose machinery
would stand the test of high speed.
Croker's son, Bertie, has been prac-
ticing high speed lately, and it is ex-
pected that he, too, may figure In the
next big motor contest. He has been
travelling on the continent for some
months, and had course of lessons
in motor driving from some of the best
English and continental experts.

THROWS LIGHT ON
FISCAL SCHEME
Colonial Secretary Declares He
Has Never Suggested a Tax
on Raw Materials and That
His Policy if Adopted Would
Not Increase Cost of Living.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain, replying to request
for a short, definite statement of his
fiscal proposals, has written:
Il have never suggested any tax
whatever on raw materials such as
wool or cotton, and believe that such a
tax would be entirely unnecessary for
the purposes 1 have in view; namely:
For mutual preference with the colo
nies and for enabling us to bargain Tor
better terms with our foreign compet-
itors. AS regards food there is Moth
ing in the policy of tariff reform which
l have put before the country which
need increase in the slightest degree
the cost of living of any family in the
