Shooting Occurred In Room Adjoining

Tragedy Year Aso-sIayer Re-

Kansas City, April 9.-Mrs. Aman-
da Williams who came here recently
from Texas, shot and fatally wounded
Carroll Nix, of Fayetteville, Ark,
while the latter was asleep in his
room at 410 West Ninth street, early
today. At the police station later
she refused to talk.
Mrs. Williams and Nix were form
erly sweethearts The woman was
deserted by her husband some time
ago in Texas town and until recent
ly had been in Fayetteville. Nix, it
appears, came to Kansas City few
days ago to escape the woman who
had followed him, apparently intent
on taking his life. AS Nix lay asleep
Mrs. Williams entered his room at 5 80
o'clock unknown to any other occu-
pants Of the house and began firing
at him. The first shot struck him
on the nose, a second hit him in the
cheek, third in the groin and a
fourth gfazed his left arm. The fifth
bullet, the last in the revolver, went
wild. Mrs. Williams submitted to
arrest quietly. Nix, who was taken
to the hospital in a dying condition,
said that he had come to Kansas City
few days ago to get away from the
woman and said that he did not know
she was in the city. Mrs. Williams is
80 years old and Nix is 90
The shooting occurred in the next
room to that occupied by Bud Taylor,
from the window of which the latter
two years ago Shot and killed his
sweetheart, Ruth Nollard, with a rifle.
Later Mrs. Williams consented to
talk She said she had left Fayette-
vile on Monday last to follow Nix,
who had passed her the day previous.
She met him here two days ago, she
asserted, but he had evaded her Mrs.
Williams admitted frankly that the
shooting was prompted by jealousy.
She said she had been deserted by her
husband in Texas year ago and that
the acquaintance with Nix, whom she
had known for years, was renewed.
Nix was a farmer.
Mrs. Williams, later, in a statement
to the prosecutor, admitted that she
had purchased the revolver with which
she shot Nix a month ago, and that
she had planned the shooting deliber.
ately. She was calm when arrested
but later in her cell became hysteri-
cal and expressed extreme sorrow for
her deed.
The woman says her husband is Jas.
Williams, of Gainesville, Tex. At noon
Nix was still alive.

PLAN TO REDUCE
REPRESENTATION
Uuion League Club To Attack
The South.
WILL DEMAND NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
Radical Steps Will Be Taken by Club
and Thousands of Pamphlets Distrib-
uted-President Roosevelt Was For
merIy Vice President

New York, April 9-The members OF
the Union League club, of this city
will take radical steps, it is said
favoCing negro suffrage in the south
at their April meeting, which occurs
tonight.
In word, congress will be appealed
to to deal with the question along the
line of radical reduction Of repre-.
sentation of the southern states in
congress.
1t is just year ago that the Union
League club was divided on the ques-
tion OF discharging negro attendants
The negro servants were kept by a
vote of to l after a stormy session.
The report of the club committee
on political reform which is expected
to precede the action favoring negro
suffrage, will, it is believed, create a
sensation In the southern states, At
ter reciting that southern states have
taken steps to circumvent national leg
islation giving suffrage to negroes, the
report recommends that congress be
asked to take up the question without
a moments delay.
1t recommends also that this body
be asked to cut down southern repre-
EentatiOn, and that a large sum of
money be appropriated to test the va
lidity of the recently adopted constitu-
tions in Alabama, Virginia and other
states in the south.
The ablest counsel in this country
will be employed to prepare and argue
these test cases regarding the consti-
tutiOns mentioned. In addition to the
sums appropriated, it is proposed to
ask the individual members of the club
to contribute.
One Of the prime movers in this
movement is said to be former Secre-
tary of the Interior Cornelius n. Bliss.
The club is expected to adopt reso-
lutions following the adoption of the
committees report. Ten thousand
copies Of these resolutions will be cir
culated to state senators, to prominent
churchmen and those in authority
everywhere.
President Roosevelt was vice presi-
dent Of the club in 1899. He is still
prominent in its councils.
General Horace Porter, Joseph H
Choate, John Hay and George Cabot
Ward have also acted as presidents
of the club at different times. The
late Hamilton Fish and William M
Evarts also had that distinction in
their lifetime. So has Senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew
John D. Rockefeller, ]. Pierpont
Morgan and Andrew Carnegie are
members of the club, the two latter
being on the governing committee. The
list Of members includes also William
D. Sloane, George F. Baker, White
law Reid, John Jacob Astor, D. O.
Mills and many other prominent men.

A. P. Hodge, the sheriff, and J. L.

Hodge made a very narrow escape,
from being shot through the head, the
powder burning his neck.
Deputy Moon is left-handed and had
his pistol in the right-hand side of
his coat, and being shot through the
left arm had some trouble in getting
out his pistol. He walked away from
Long and as the latter was firing the
third shot at Moon, Sheriff Hodge

WORK ON LEVEES

Board Discouraged.
GAP AT HYMELlA is WIDENING.

Bright Hopes of Day Ago Give Way
To Feelings of Despair-Texas and
Pacific Road May Be Tied Up For
Weeks to Come.
New Orleans, April 9.-The news
from the HymeIia crevasse is so dis
| couraging today that an announce
ment Of an abandonment of the work
IS not unlikely in the course of the
next "a hours.
The blowout of 40 feet of cribbing
reported yesterday threatens the de-
struction Of all the cribbing that has
been built around the break in the
IeVee This morning the gap in the
crIbbing had reached a width of over
100 feet, and a great volume of water
is roaring through and submerging
again the plantations which had been
relieved.
One final attempt is to be made to
control the situation That is by
means of line of sewalI piling driven
across the front of the crevasse. Plant
ers and commissioners of the levee
board are in the city today trying to
make arrangements to hurry the nee
essary sheet piling to the scene to car
ry out this plan but there is only
slender hope that it will be successful.
Labor is badly needed at the works.
Governor Heard has asked the Ievee
board and planters to put in 48 hours
longer in the attempt to close the
break, but the latest disaster seems to
have taken the heart out of every one.
1t is probable that the Texas and
Pacific which hoped to to resume traf-
fic in few days will be tied up for
several weeks longer.
The river here today is 21.1 feet,
the same as last night If the work
at Hymelia is abandoned a heavy de-
cline at New Orleans will probably
