SHE CALLED HIM COWARD

Berlin. May 2-The current duelling
endemic seems to have reached its eli
rnax-and climax which would be in
credible if the facts were less well at
tested. Neither age nor sex is spared, as
IS shown by the most recent manlfesta-

Two weIl-known officers. General Glad
fischer and Tserndieff leach over sixty
years of age) became involved in dis
pute over a comparatively trifiing matter.
High words were exchanged and the ell
DERBY disputants arranged a meeting
which took place near Hamburg. Swords
were the weapons and the aged warriors
fought with astonishing vigor. Spectators
describe the assault as a remarkable ex-
hibition of swordsmanship.
After fighting for a quarter Of an hour.
General Tserndien dealt his antagonist
q thrust from the effects Of which 1t is
feared General Gladischer will not re-
cover.
But this affair pales into insignifcance
beside that of which a young German
officer, too insignificant to be named, was
the hero at holman in SaXony. 1t can
not be better described than in his own
language when hailed before local
court
one night" the defendant said, ct had
q quarrel with my wife, in the course
of which she exclaimed: You are too
much of a coward to strike me"
What could AS a Prussian officer, do
when my wife accused me of cowardice?
If the wife of another officer had thus
insuIted me ! could at least have chal-
ienged her husband in a duel, but could
not challenge myself because my own
wife insultcd me.
Il got into a state of intense excite
ment over IS terrible dilemma. 1 re-
nuested my wife formally three times to
withdraw the insulting expression which
was incompatible with my dignity and
honor as a Prussian officer. She refused
TO do so As it was my duty to insist
on satisfaction for the insult l seized a
stick and beat my wife"
The case has been adjourned and we
are waiting with curiosity what view the
solons of holman will take of personal
honor" so sensitive that a reputation for
wife-beating is slight in comparison.

VERDICT OF CONVICTION
OVERRULED ON APPEAL
Col. Edward Butler, Alleged St.
Louis Briber, Released by the
Appellate Court.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. 9.-The Su-
preme Court to-day reversed the decision
of the lower court in the case of Col. Ed
ward Butler, of St. Louis, convicted at Co.
lumbia, Mo-, in October of 1902 of attempted
bribery, and discharged the prisoner. The
specific charge against Col. Butler was that
he offered a bribe of $1,000 to DR.. Henry NJ
Chapman, a member of the st. Louis Board
of Health, to induce Chapman to mis-
influence in having the board award the
garbage contract to the ST. Louis Sanitary
Company, corporation in which Butler was
interested. The jury fixed his punishment
at three years in the State penitentiary.
Butler Immediately took an appeal to the
Supreme Court and has been out on bond
since then.
Indictments charging bribery in the Sc.
Louis lighting bill case are still pending
against Butler. This case is the docket
of the Galloway Circuit Court, to be tried
at Fulton on a date not yet set
The opinion was written by Judge Fox
and was concurred in by all other judges.
The court holds that the Board of Health
had no authority to let the garbage con-
tract but that this power belonged to the
Board of Public improvements. The Board
OF Health. having no authority to award
this contract, the defendant could not bribe
members to do something which they had
no authority to do

her wrongs and the treatment which drove
her father to kill her husband Following

other children of John Terrell. The testi-
mony showed that these two daughters had
married brothers named Landegrift; both
were deserted by their husbands and both
married a second time.
The daughters corroborated most of the
evidence of Lucy Wofe and recited in
stances wherein Terrell had shown symp-
toms of unsound mind. They said he once
arose I'm the night and pulled all the fire
out of stove. Jacob Terrell testified that
two nights before his father shot Wolfe the
Petroleum, and that Wolfe had a revolver.
Jacob told his father when he got home.
Mrs. Schott testified that Wolfe passed her
and her husband on the road on the day or
the shooting, crowding their team into the
ditch, and she said he then had revolver.
The last witness this evening was Mrs.
Terrell whose story was practically the
same as that of her daughter Lucy yester-
day. She said she once took her daughter
to Wolfe's home and was told they had no
room for her. Next day Melvin took her
home. Terrell broke down during the tes-
timony of his family and at times wept
bitterly.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RISING SUN, Ind, Dec. 9.-The shooting
last evening of Miss Elizabeth Gillespie
by an assassin at her home in this city has
aroused this community as it perhaps has
never been aroused before. An examination
of the premises and room where the trage-
dy occurred shows that the murderer
placed the gun close to or through a pane
of glass OF the window and shot her while
she was standing about three or four feet
away, as some of the shot struck the wall
of the loom about six feet from the floor
and the lace curtains powder-burned.
while all over the room were small pieces
of powder-stained glass.
Miss Gillespie was about thirty-two years
old and was prominently identified with
church and society work. She belonged to
the Ladies' Literary Club of this city and
was preparing to entertain the club and
its members at her residence when she
was shot
A suspect is under surveillance and the
officers say an arrest will be made in the

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAWRENCEBURG. Ind, Dec. 9.-The al

Violators of Law.

Probation officers of the Juvenile Court
want TO learn what boys in Indianapolis
use tobacco, and will ask the teachers of

1t is the opinion of the officers that the
use of the weed has not little to do with
youthful misdoing, and they would like to
have the information in hand to help them
test the theory.
AT meeting Of the probation officers
held yesterday the committee appointed to
investigate and inform the court how the
cigarette law could be more strictly en-
forced reported that they would be almost
poweriess to do anything definite without
the aid of some well-organized party of in
fiuential men. The justice committee of
the Charity Organization Society was
agreed upon as the best organization to ap-
peal to. Secretary Grout, of the society,
was conferred with and promised TO do all
in his power to aid in the anu-cigarette
work.

DIRE PREDICTION OF Il
PLOW MANUFACTURER
Closed Shop May Cause Scenes of
Bloodshed Surprising French
Revolution Days.

CHICAGO, Dec. eff the fight for the
closed shop is allowed to continue there will
be scenes of bloodshed in this country that
will surpass the days of the French revo-
luton. The closed shop is un-American,
unrighteous, a restriction of the liberties
of our people and death blow to the indi-
vidualism that makes for success"
The foregoing sentiment, expressed by
W. b. Brinton, president of the Peru Plow
Company, was enthusiastically cheered by
six hundred members of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association at their annual BAN
quet.
"Our rights" declared Mr.. Brinton, 'are
dependent on the settlement of the ques-
tion once for all as to whether an employer
can hire whom he pleases without being
subject to the dictation of organized
body. The Chicago City Railway has won
a great victory in establishing its right to
engage its own employees. Without this
right, which is becoming recognized by the
great mass of people. the commercial su.
premacy of the United States will be at ar
end"
