HIS FRIENDS SAY
It WAS MURDER
May lake This Charge Against
the Officer Who Shot Frank
konshai.

The body of Frank Konshal, who
died Friday at Danville, H., as the re-
suit of a shooting ARRAY On Wabash
excursion train, was brought to st.
Paul yesterday and is now at his home,
at 336 Warsaw street.
Telegraphic accounts of the shoot
ing credit the dead man with being the
aggressor in the ARRAY which resulted
in his death, but later accounts indi-
cate that the affair was murder and a.
Wabash train detective may be charg-
ed with the deed
konshaI, it appears, was called to
account by the detective for some
noise that he was making on the train
and when the detectives authority was
questioned the officer pulled a billy and
struck konshal across the face. Kon-
shall followed the detective to the
platform, whereupon the detective shot
him twice.
The detective claimed that KonshaI
had drawn a knife, but his companions
say 1t is not true. they claim the
shooting was unprovoked
Konshal was the only support of
his parents, and by his thrift had sent
home over $500 during his six months
absence. Officers at Danville found re-
mittance receipts for this amount on
his person when he was taken to the
hospital His friends say he was not
quarrelsone.
There is general indignation among
the friends of Konshal over the muir
der and steps are being taken to prose-
cute the detective.
At last accounts the detective had
not been arrested, the statement being
given out that he was sick at home and
could not be removed.
The funeral will occur from the home
Monday morning.

 JOurnaIism and the Attempts to
 Throttle the Free PubIx- y cation of News.
 OMAHA, Neb., July 9.-A programme of music prefaced the first session of the annual conference of the National Editorial association here. President Garry A. Willard called the conv vention to order and delivered his annual ad- dress. He reviewed the work of the year, mentioned the increased member ship of the association and congratu- lated the members on it's healthy con dition.
 President Willard then spoke on the ethics of journalism and said it was Che duty of every true newspaper man to stamp out yellow journalism. He aroused great enthusiasm in denun- ciation of attempts to throttle the press, regarding which he said:
 ''One of the paramount questions of the day to our, profession is the libel law, made more pointed than ever by the infamous enactment of Pennsyl- vania legislature signed by Governor Pennypacker, whose name will ever be odious to all people who believe in the liberty of the press and who rely on it's great power to denounce crime and cor ruption in public office. There is no mtstahng the sentiment of the press and the people on this mOmentous sub ject. 1t is. the duty of this body to pass strong resolutions against this law, which seeks to throttle the press, and give both moral and financial support to secure it's repeal. So unjust and fla grant violation of the peoples rights will net be tolerated in any civilized country.
 |'The liberty of the press has been threatened by the cold blooded murder of fellow journalist in South Carolina, and we protest with all earnestness against the atrocious deed Public opin- ion cannot too severely crfticise this foul murder and demand that the guilty party receive the punishment that he deserves. 1t was a most dastardly crime and strikes at the freedom of the press in such manner as to cause us to wonder where it will end.''
