dozen places, hope for his life was
abandoned.
At o'clock this morning Doss' con-
dition was critical. 1t was reported
at the hospital that he was getting
worse, but might live until daylight.
Rosenthars wound is not serious. The
bullet entered near the left hip joint
and f1attened against the bone. 1t
was found in RosenthaPs trousers leg
after the shooting.
The real cause that led to the shoot
ing has not been satisfactorily ex-
planned by the principals themselves.
Their stories vary widely. The affair
took place within a space of less than
two minutes after the first word that
lead to the shooting. Every one in
the room, with the exception of Doss
and an onlooker, were drinking wine.
The bottles were opened with a fire.
quency that soon affected the drinkers,
and when the shooting began there
were few clear heads.
No Ill Feeling Beforehand.
No i'll feeling is alleged to have ex-
listed between any of the principals in
the affair. All met casually on the
friendliest terms. Reynolds had for
merly been in the employ of Doss but
had left him several months before
and was working for Rosenthal at
the time of the shooting. There were
rumors that there was some i'll feel
ing between Doss and Reynolds, but
Doss denied this emphatically and
Reynolds did not make statement on
that point
The entire trouble fiared up like q
flash Of powder in the pan, and had
the men been sober it is probable
that there would have been no shoot
ing. There was no previous quarrel
over money, or difference as to rulings
on the roulette game, which had been
running during the night. The first
harsh words were spoken by Rosen-
thai to O'Dell. The latter resented
them, and then the matter shifted over
to the other side of the table where
Reynolds was sitting, and the shoot
ing commenced.
ROscnthaI InsuIted Evans.
At the moment Rosenthal addressed
an insulting remark to O'Dell Doss was
in the dealers chair. Evans was
seated in the lookout chair" at
Doss' right. He had his coat off and
was not armed so far as could be
seen. Reynolds was sitting in front
Of Evans with his back to the door of
partitioned office, four or five feet
away Rosenthal was sitting opposite
Doss, keeping cases." and at his left
was spectator. At the opposite end
of the table, at Doss' left. was O'Dell.
Seated on a high chair behind
Odell was another spectator, and this
comprised all that were in the room
at the time of the shooting, the negro
attendant being out of the room get
ting another bottle of wine ready.
When IL appeared that trouble was
imminent every one around the table
sprung up and confusion ensued The
shooting took place in the corner OF

Judge Pope Barrow of the Superior

court room at 1870 o'clock, just after
charging the jury in the Mousseau-MI-

was conscious until o'clock and rec

spoke with great difficulty. After that
he lapsed into Inconsistencies and re-
manned so until he died.
Death came quietly and peacefully.
Two of his sons, Mr.. D. c. Barrow
and Dr. Craig Barrow, and his two
daughters, Misses Lizzie and Lucy Bar
row, were with him. The younger
daughter had arrived from school at
Gainesville, Md, short while before
her father was stricken, and did not
see him until he was brought home.
Heard with Deep Regret.
Judge Barrow's death was received
by the few, who heard it with the
most profound sorrow. The serious
ness of his attack in the court room
was not fully realized for several hours.

WaterwOrl<s Fence and LampbIack
Works Were Also AbIaze.
Five cars belonging to the Seaboard
Air Line, loaded with phosphate, were
burned on the waterworks track yes
terday afternoon. The fire started some
500 yards from the track, near some
negro cabins, swept down on the cars
and ignited them.
In all seventeen cars were in the
train, but as soon as possible after
the fire was discovered eight of these
were cut loose and hauled to a place
of safety. The fire department which
had been called to the scene. managed
to save four of the others, but of the
five burned, nothing has been left of
any value except the iron that entered
into their composition.
The phosphate was not consigned
to any of the local firms, but was held
on storage for export. Not only were
the cars ignited, but the lampback
works also, though the damage to the
plant was slight, only the roof having
caught. At one time the waterworks
fence was also in danger having
caught in a number of places. Sew
eral small houses in the vicinity also
caught, but were extinguished with
but slight damage. Fire apparatus
from stations Nos. 3 8, and s went
to the scene.

MITCHELL ISSUES
APPEAL TO MINERS
Asks Them to Use Every Effort
to Increase the Produc.
ton of Coal.
DISTRESS is WIDESPREAD
To Relieve the Situation and Alleviate
Suffering Is the Duty of Every
One Connected With the
Production of Fuel.

Philadelphia, Pa, jan 1+-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
yesterday issued the following circular
letter to all local unions In the an
thracite district:
You are no doubt aware that q
serious coal famine exists in all the east
ern and seaboard cities, due to the short
age Of the anthracite coal supply. The
has reached an acute stage, and
has resulted In great suffering and hard
ship te the poor of the cities, whose earn
pay the excessive prices now being
charged for fuel. and 1t is subjecctng the
general public TO great Inconvenience.
To relieve the situation and alleviate,
as far as possible. the suffering now be-
ing endured, is the duty OF everyone con-
nected with the production OF coal With
this end In view we are prompted to ad-
dress this communication 10 all member
OF our union, and request they Cooper
ate with the management of the mines 10
an effort 10 increase the production OF
o The gravity Of the situation Is such
as 10 require that every mine worker shall
exert himself and use every means at his
to this end
Upon reading this communication In the
oluuns OF the daily papers local unions
should hold meetings and devise means
whereby the daily output OF the mines
may be increased. These efforts should
be continued until the weather mo6erates
and the great necessity for fuel shall have
passed.
This communication Is signed by
President Mitchell and the district
presidents.

Washington, Jan. lit is expected
that will pass q BIZ! removing

| ported into this country. This bill may
| take the form of a rebate or drawbacks
| for ninety days, and also will provide
for reciprocity, admitting free of duty

countries granting the same privilege
to the United States This means can
ada, and win permit Nova Scotia coal
to come into h country free. While
coal from the Alleghenies and westward
will go into Canada free of duty. :,
The ways and mean committee VIII
meet today. and according to the pres
emit program report a bill on the above
lines. It is expected 1t Will pass the
house today.
It will be taken up in the senate very
soon ard the intention is to have II
pass without much delay. Its consic-
Grafton in the senate has not been ar
ranged for, but efforts are making to
expedite its passage without amend
ment and with little discussion.
Leaders Will Not Oppose It.
A number of republicans who here
tofore have been opposed TO changing
the duty on coal said they would not
oppose the bill. provided il did not open
up the whole tariff question There
has been some general ak about an
agreement to pass such a bill without
opening up the tariff question, and the
republican leaders expect the house bill
viii be passed promptly by the senate.
Among the bills before the ways and
means committee affecting the duty IN
coal is one introduced early in h ses-
sion by Representative Hill Of Connec-
1tcut. This bill is receiving the serious
and favorable consideration OF the COM
ruittee:
Il provides as follows:
That there shall be allowed and paid,
under such regulations as the secretary
Of the treasury shall prescribe, on al coal
OF every Kind and form imported into any
port OF the Atlantic coast, q drawback Of
including the 3lIh day OF June, 1908. this
act 10 take effect Immediately on its pas
sage.
Lodges Bill Would Have Same Effect.
Another bill reported by Mr.. Mccall,
u Massachusetts,, suspends the collec-
ZION OF duties on "a for ninety days.
Atr. Mccall and Senator Lodge had a
talk On the house side late in the day.
One aeEnpe of the ways and means
committee said it was immaterial
whether & bill to suspend the collection
OF duties or one providing for a rebate
was adopted, since both hav the same
Affect, Z that il would be only a mat
ter of method, but he inclined to the
view that & rebate bill would be prefer
Seie.
u number of bills have been intro
.uCed In the house and referred to the
ways and means committee, which pro-
vide for tie repeal OF all duties upon
cC2l OF al! kinds imported into the
United States. There is still another
bill providing for & reciprocity trade re-
GaSioEs letween the United States and

II IS EoJ STATED whether this last bill
