Pastor Lepore and Guest Each
Shot the Other.
WERE PLAYING CARDS
FORMER DECLARES he HAD FELT
LIFE IN DANGER.
Believed Behind Tragedy Lies Deep
Mystery-Police Hunting for
Partner

DENVER, Col, November 19.-The Rev.
Father Felix Mariana Lepore, pastor of
Mount Carmel Catholic Church. in this city
and Joseph Sorice of Pittsburg Pa, who
shot each other at a game of cards in the
priests apartments at the rear Of the
church last night. are both reported to be
in dying condition.
In an ante-mortem statement made 10
Judge Sales of the district attorneys Office,
Father Lepore said he believed his assailant
had been sent to Denver for the purpose OF
killing him.
Feared His Life Would Be Taken.
Since his first conversation with Sorice.
when he came to this city about a month
ago, Father Lepore said, he had feared the
man and had thought his life was in
danger. Sorice refused to say a word
either to the district attorneys represent
atives or to the detectives
Before coming to Denver in 1892 Father
Lepore conducted a banking business in
New York, where, it is said, he failed for
considerable amount.
Sorice's Partner Creditor.
Among the creditors. 1t is said was
Giuseppe Pasquel, a partner of Joseph
Sorice, who came to Denver with the lat
ter about month and half ago.
FRANK Lepore, nephew of the priest,
said that Pasquel had made a demand on
Father Lepore a few days ago for $780,
which he claimed the priest owed him.
Young Lepore advised his uncle to give
the men the money they demanded but
he did not do so. However, he provided
house and employment for them.
Mystery Behind the Tragedy.
Frank Lepore said that his uncle had
known Sorice and Pasquel in Italy. Efforts
are being made to find Pasquel.
1t Is believed that behind the tragedy
lies deep mystery extending back to
old times in Italy, which it is feared will
never be solved because Of the secretive
nature of the Italians.

DENTAL ingratiating way of his when he
Is talking. to, 1.-THE boys Il want you to
take the greatest possible degree of au-
tkority in helping me make up these COM
mittees. AS minority leader you ought to
have the say as to whom OF your colleagues
should be given these important committee
places
Willy Uncle Joe thereby relieved HIM
self of 100 opportunities for assignment
by that move, As for Mr.. Williams. he
realizes how uneasy lies the head that
wears a crown, even by deputy. His own
people are making their plants to him
instead OF to the Speaker, and when MS
slate Is made up the disappointed ones
will have to utter their walls IN ms ears
AS an indication of the tribulations of
the minority leader one instance can be
cited. There are two democratic vacan-
cies on the rivers and harbors committee,
and there are seven applications for the
places.
John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee leads
the list, Shirley Of Kentucky, Small Oh
North Carolina. two Texans, one Mlssis-
sippian and one Arkansan are hot com.
petitors, and it Is thought few dark
horses are in the background.
1t is not yet determined whether there
is to be a river and harbor appropriation
bill at this session. The Speaker Is quoted
as saying to Representative Bates OF PENN
sylvania that II the sentiment of the House
seems to favor bill there will be one.
Speaker Cannon expects to announce his
committees just before adjournment If the
special session continues until the end OF
this month. If the Senate should suddenly
become Industrious. however, and pass the
Cuban bill within the next week. he would
announce them at the beginning of the
regular session.

COTTON OPENED FIRM.
Trading Fairly Active and General
Tone Unsettled

NEW YORK, November 19.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of 5a11
points on cables that after poor start were
rallied to little over the expected level,
continued cold weather in the belt and the
fact that receipts posted early were con-
siderably under estimates. There seemed
little aggressive support In the market,
however. and after a little further advance
prices ruled very irregular but with sag
ging tendency.
The reactionary tendency seemed due to
the execution of overnight selling orders
and a renewal Of pressure from the room
contingent. Trading was fairly active and
the general tone unsettled.
The market at midday was again firm on
bull support and covering with prices net
5a9 points higher.
