MARION, Ind, June Stamford H. Miller,
aged twenty-four, a clerk at the Hatfield
Hotel, this afternoon shot and mortally
wounded Miss Nora Miller, aged eighteen,
his former sweetheart as she was leaving
the elevator in the Colonial building. Miller
was insanely infatuated with Miss Miller.
who Tilted him a few weeks ago and re-
fused to accept further attentions from him.
Miller received an anonymous letter a few
days ago which told him she was carrying
a pistol and intended to kill him. Since that
time he has been carrying a revolver and
it is said he has been watching for an OPP
portunity to kill her. When he met her in
the lobby of the Colonial building this aft
ernoon he grappled with her and, pressing
a revolver against her breast fired. She
fell to the floor. He turned the weapon on
himself but before he could pull the trigger
he was disarmed by passengers leaving the
elevator When placed in Jail Miller begged
the police to give him a pistol, with which
he might end his life.
Miss Miller was removed to the Marion
Hospital and it is believed that she cannot
live. The bullet lodged in her lungs and
produced hemorrhages. Miller has been a
clerk at the Hatfield Hotel for a number
of years and has borne good reputation.

TAFT REPLIES TO MILES
DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE GEN.
ERAL IN REGARD TO TRANSPORTS.
Conditions in the Islands as to Food
and other Matters Explained
Purchase of CarabaO.

WASHINGTON, June s.-The War De-
partment to-day made public report re-
ceived from Governor Taft replying to
statements made by Lieutenant General
Miles after HIS visit to the island last year.
The report is dated at Banquest, April is,
and says:
THAT there is a shortage in the islands
of the usual food supply is undoubtedly
true, but have been surprised TO find thus
far how little real famine or hunger there
is. have not received a single call from
q single provincial governor for rice for
free distribution In the entire archipelago.
1t is true that unexampled drought in
the islands has prevented planting from
being as productive as 1t otherwise would
have been and that locusts, too, have in
terfered with some of the crops, but on the
whole 1 have been greatly surprised to
find the suffering SO much less than We
expected 1t to be- The most serious fea-
ture is the loss of the cattle
from rhinderpest. 1t Is not feasible TO
bring cattle into the islands without MAX
ing sure that they win not catch the
rhinderpest after coming here and die from
the disease. The fields Of the islands are
infected with rhinderpest SO that cattle
brought here from the other islands
almost sure to take the dis
ease. 1t is necessary, therefore, that
all cattle brought here shall be immunized
by having a serum injected into their veins
which will render them immune for three
of four months and at the same time by
being inoculated with the rhinderpest virus.
which renders them immune at least for
five years and probably longer. We have
made a contract for the delivery of 10000
carabao in the islands with the permanent
immunization. These are to be brought
from the YangTse valley in China.
transports could be made useful TO us
either In the Transportation of rice or the
transportation of cattle We can charter
steamers adapted to our purposes at per-
haps one-fourth or one-ffth Of the cost OF
operating the transports, as proposed by
the lieutenant general of the army. We
have some twelve or fourteen coast guard
vessels which transport rice quickly to any
part of the archipelago and We can pur-
chase rice in the Orient at much cheaper
price than we can bring corn or wheat
We can thus bring TO save the people from
starving Is the food which they are used
to eating; whereas they would have to be
taught TO eat wheat"
81 think generally the statement OF facts
I'm the report of the lieutenant general Is
correct, SO far at least as the dreadful de-
preston in agriculture by reason Of the
loss of the cattle is concerned. The remedy
which he suggests by the use of the gov
eminent transports, however. do not con-
cur in. The danger from famine has not
as the lieutenant general was JUSTIFIED In
supposing ii was from the reports which he
heard. In any event. with the funds pro-
vided by Congress now. feel confident
that the Philippine government Is In a
position to meet any emergency Of this
Kind which may arise.
