LAWYER POUNDS ANOTHER
IN THE CHASE CASE.
Young Millionaire Pronounced In
sane by Physicians.

Lafayette, Ind, April 16.-There was
this afternoon between Attorneys Dan
Simms, representing Fred Chase,
father of Moses Fowler Chase and A.
l.. Kumler, representing Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Duhmc, of Cincinnati, who are
struggling for the possession of young
Chase, the millionaire.
The attorneys had met for a confer
ence with the judge as to what should
be done with Moses Fowler Chase
pending the hearing of the guardian
ship case. Kumler denounced the at
torneys on the other side, and also
Chases father and declared that
Moses Fowler Chase had been brought
to Indiana from France by force and
fraud.
He had further asserted that the
unfortunate young man was put on
exhibition at the law offices of Chase's
attorneys. when ex-Judge E. p. Ham
mond shouted, That's an absolute
falsehood!"
Attorney Simns jumped from his
seat and approached Kumler who
tried to ward him off. Simms then
landed a fierce right hand swing on
Kumler's jaw, and followed it with
his left. Both blows landed, kumler
protecting himself as best he could.
The court room was crowded and
lawyers, court officials and spectators
sprang toward the combatants and
dragged them apart. The judge fined
Simms $25 for striking the first blow
and this quoted matters.
Simms then apologiZed and Kumler
asked the court to remit the fine, as he
said he felt sure that Simms struck in
a moment of temper The court re-
mitted the fine and directed that Moses
Fowler Chase remain in the courts
jurisdiction, with the understanding
that Mr.. and Mrs. Duhme, his aunt
and uncle, are not to interfere with
him. They have the privilege of APP
plying to court for authority to see
him, however.
The guardianship application, served
on the young millionaire, is returnable
April 81, for which day the case is
set. Detective William Weinhart was
placed on guard at the offices of
Chases attorneys and shut out every
body but the sheriff. Neither Mr.. nor
Mrs. Duhme was at the train, as they
wished to avoid a scene, but Duhme's
private secretary was there to look
after their interests.
Drs. M. M. Larry, e. C. Davidson
and w. w. Vinnedge of Lafayette and
DR.. C. b. Burr of Flint, Mich, exam
ined young Chase this afternoon and
pronounced him insane. They declared
his answers to the most simple ques-
tons were incoherent, although he
appeared perfectly sane when taken
off the train.

CONTEST WITH RIFLES
UNDER GOVERNMENTS EYE.
Board Meets at Washington to Ar
range for Them.
By r. NJ. Larner

Washington, April 16.-To-day s
meeting of the National Rifle Contest
Board, held at the War Department,
was attended by nineteen out of
twenty-one representative invited to
be present.
No definite conclusions were reached,
but the board expects to be able to
submit it's report to the Secretary of
War tomorrow. This board is created
in accordance with recent act of Con-
gress, intended to stimulate COMPETE
ton in rifle contests.
An appropriation of s., 500 is provided
for the purchase of a trophy to be
competed for annually by representa-
tive teams from the army, navy, ma
rine corps and the national guard. In
vitations- were sent out to twenty-one
representatives of various national and
state military organizations. The on
~ absentees were Col. Haskell and
George Gould of New York, Gen. Roe,
commanding the New York National
Guard, who was originally invited to
be present, declined to attend, so that
New York was without representation.
Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Iowa, Ohio, and the District of Column
bia were represented, and there was
long discussion as to the rules and
regulations to govern the contest.
The navy and the marine corps were
not represented, but it is understood
that they may decide to enter the con-
test. At present it seems as though
the competition may be confined to the
regular troops and the national
guard. Col. Sanger, assistant secre-
tary of war, presided and Col e. ].
Dimmick was secretary.
1t is proposed that the appropriation
shall be expended for national trophy
and individual medals for members Of
the winning teams. The contest will
take place at Seagirt, ". j.. during
the first week in September.
There will be another meeting Of
the board tomorrow, at which a final
report to the Secretary of War will be
submitted.

Charleston, S. c., April 16.-Thomas
Nolan. Charles Howard, William Nc
Kinley and Edward Duggan were con-
yicted in the United States Circuit
Court here to-day and sentenced to
five years each in the Federal Peni-
tertiary at Atlanta.
The men were accused of belonging
to a gang of outlaws who commit
ted many robberies in South Carolina
last summer and fall. A number of
postoffice safes were robbed in va
rious small towns in the state. In
some instances large sums of money
were secured. The safes were usually
blown open with dynamite. At
Enoree, S. c.. the robbers secured over
$4,000.
The men who were convicted here to-
day. together with three others still in
iail here, were arrested in Columbia,
where they had been living in the
tenderloin district for months and
spending money lavishly.

ined. The jury brought in the YER

THREE REPUBLICANS
CAUSE A BIG ROW.
Allied With Democrats. They Throw
the Senate Into Turmoil.

Albany, N. Y, April 16.-Not since
the memorable days of the Conkling-
Platt instruction has the state Senate
been the seen of more bitter person
alities or of a more sensational politi-
cal battle than that of this morning
and afternoon, when Gov. Odell's NOM
ination of Railroad Commissioner
Frank NJ. Baker to succeed himself
was rejected by a coalition of Sena-
tors Bracket, Brown and Elsberg, the
three so-called insurgent Republicans,
with the Democrats, and an intensely
personal conflict was precipitated be-
tween Senator Bracket and Senator
Raines, the Republican president pro
tenn.
1t is not likely that the battle will
be ended tomorrow, when it is expect
ed the Judiciary Committee will report
the nomination of George w. Morgan
to take the place of John McCullagn
as superintendent of elections, sent
in by Gov. Odell to-day.
In explaining his vote against MIR.
Bakers confirmation, Senator BracK-
EFT said:
Mr.. Baker is simply a pawn on
the chessboard. l vote against this
nomination in protest against the sew
age and filth that is being poured upon
the head of our worthy Governor
through the agents of the man VINO
inspired this nomination. And 1 vote
against this nomination to emphasize
my disapproval of the actions of the
man who causes the seal of party APP
prevail to be placed on any measure
when certain attorneys are engaged
in favor of the bills"
In the course of a bitter reply, Sem
ator Raines said:
When it came to the nomination and
election of United States senators,
these three posed as independent Re
publicans-God save the mark 1t
would be more becoming to their dig
nifty as senator's, to their honor as
men, and to their party obligations to
refrain from skulking behind these ex-
cuses from maintaining this 'holier
than thou posture. Let them cease to
be the 'Uriah Keeps of this Senate
and to occupy a position for which
the state and their own constituents
are damning them with a bitter con-
domination"

Roosevelt Shows Up and There Are
AsseYerations.
Cinnabar, Mont, April 15.-President
Roosevelt came into Fort Yellowstone

dition and enthusiastic over the good
time he has had. Secretary Loeb met

Loeb issued the following statement:
Maj Pitcher reports that the Presi-

time in following and watching at
close quarters the great herds of
game, chiefly elk, but also mountain
sheep, deer and antelope.
THE party will start tomorrow for
the interior of the park. to visit the
geysers and perhaps the falls Of the
Yellowstone. They will go in sleigns,

HOW GOEDEL DIED
YOUTSEY SAID JAMES HOWARD
FIRED THE SHOT.
TOLD A SHAMEFUL STORY
OF HOW TAYLOR URGED HIS TOOLS
ON TO THE WORK.

YOutsey Said He Took Howard Into
Powers Office, Promised Him Par
don for an Old Murder and More.
Pointed Out GOebeI to Him and
Fled, Soon to Hear the Shot Ring

Frankfort. KY, April 16.-Henry E.
Youtsey to-day for the first time told
on the witness stand his story of the
killing of the late Gov. Goebel.
He named James Howard, the de-
PENDANT, as the man who fired the shot
Youtsey said he saw Howard for the
first time a few minutes before the
shooting. Howard had a letter sent
him several days before by the witness
at Gov. Taylors dictation.
Youtsey says he took Howard into
the office of Caleb Powers, then secre-
tary of state, which had been especi-
ally arranged for the shooting. He
showed Howard the Martin rifle, the
bullets, and the window from which
the shooting was to be done. He says
Howard asked what he was to get for
doing the shooting.
what Was He to Get.
What do you want for it?" Youtsey
says he asked, and that Howard said
he wanted a pardon for killing George
Baker.
81 told him he could have that and
that time Goebel came in the gate and
1 pointed him out to Howard and then
ran from the room. AS 1 disappeared
down the steps to the basement I
heard the crack of Towards rifle"
Yuo.5ey said that after the shooting
he passed through the State House
basement and a few minutes later
came back into Ae executive building
from the east entrance.
Il stayed in the office of Assistant
Secretary of State Matthews" he said,
flor a few moments and saw
Matthews break open Caleb Powers
office and find the guns that had been
left in there"
Youtsey said that at the time of the
shooting he was private secretary to
Auditor Sweeney, but that while his
political status was not definitely fix
ed it was understood he was to have
a good place under Taylor.
Taylor the Moving Spirit.
Gov. Taylor" Youtsey continued
directed everything we did. We re-
garded him as our leader and he was
morally responsible for all we did. We
knew we had the Governor and the
pardoning power behind US, and we
were not afraid of punishment for
killing Goebel."
Youtsey, on INSTRUMENTATION, said
that after he was arrested and later
sent to the penitentiary, he still had
hope of gaining his liberty He thought
Yerkes would be elected Governor and
would pardon him. Yerkes was de-
feated, however, and about a year ago
he decided to talk and did tell his
story to Prison Physician ToTbin.
Yuotsey said further that he had an
additional incentive to tell the story,
as Taylor, Powers and others had used
him as a catspaw and scapegoat and
then deserted him when he got into
trouble
