FATAL SHOOTING.
lndianola Man Kills a Stranger Seem
insly Without Provocation-
Ia Under Arrest,

Indianola, Neb., June 2.-Saturdas
evening about 1O:3O o'clock in front OF
Haley's saloon, Charles D. Mcmillan,
In the presence of several witnesses,
shot Lee Jones Of BARLEY IN the leIt
breast with q revolver, h ball striking
near the heart. After the shooting
Jones walked north on the sidewalk
about twenty-five feet, where he fell
and died without having spoken a
word.
After the killing Mcmillan went to
his room at the hotel, where he was
later taken into custody by Sheriff
'Crabtree.
Mcmillan is about 35 years old and a
single man. Jones was q single man,
% years old. -.5
Jones and a companion from BARLEY
came to- Indianola to have q good time.
During the evening they met Mcmillan
In the saloon and were i~mportuned by
him to enter into a poker game with
him, which they good naturedly re-
fused to do. This seemed to have the
effect Of angering Mcmillan, who pro-
posed to Jones' companion that they
fight. While Mcmillan and Jones were
talking Mcmillan walked over to where
Jones was standing and shot him.
While all had been drinking during
the evening, apparently none Of them
was much intoxicated, and at no time
was there anything in the nature of a
quarrel sor loud disturbance. No mo-
tive for the crime is known. Mcmillan
had eve met Jones or his companion
before Saturday evening.

THE FRIAR LANDS AGAIN
.Propriety Of Arbitration Of the Issue Is
Now Questioned.


ONE. June 2.-Cardinal Rampolla to-
day received in private audience Rev.
Edward J. Vattmann, chaplain Of the
Twenty-ninth United States infantry,
who presented his report IN the situation
of Catholicism in the Philippine islands.
1t appears the idea of having recours to
arbitration in the matter Of the purchase
Of friar lands. which was again favored
after Archbishop Guidi's arrival at Ma
Mia, is now looked upon coldly by the in
terested parties.
Governor Taft and his colleagues are in
doubt Of the feasibility Of again proposing
arbitration. fearing the friars and pro-
motors Of companies interested in the sale
Of the lands in question may reject the
proposition.
Archbishop Guild is faithfully carrying
out the instructions which he received In
Rome, but the frtars openly disregard
them, denying the right OF interference
OIL the part OF the pope on a question
which they consider to be entirely under
the Jurisdiction of the orders whose inter-
ests are involved. However, hopes are
entertained OF acceptance. Arbitration
Has not entirely been abandoned.

WIZARDS JOIN HANDS.
Edison and Marconi Unite to DeveIo,
Wireless Teleuraphy.

New York. June 2.-''The commercial
utility Of wireless t~elegraphy is an az.
Sured fact. 1t will take time to ad.
lust 1t to the everyday needs Of the
world, but the ultimate result is
toregone conclusion" In these words 1
Thomas A. Edison today expressed his
confidence In the future wireless tele-
graphy.
II have made an alliance with Nj.
Marconi," said the great inventor,
SOLELY because I believe in wireless
biography and am satisfied of its des-
tiny. There Is no shadow Of a doubt In
my mind that in a short time wire
less biography will stand at the top Of
the list Of practical utilities"
How long a time will be required to
perfect the system?" was asked.
"Oh,.I cannot fix a time limit In our
preparatory work" replied Mr.. Edi-
son. II know how skeptical the public
feels and I would have everybody I'M
moves slowly in its preliminary stage.
Motor Car Adopted Slowly.
why, take the electric motor car for
example. Now that the car is a rec
ognized success you Will hardly credit
the fact hat 1t took me ten years to
awaken interest in it. After the me-
chanical difficulties had been con-
quered railroad men took three years
to develop any interest in 1t. The same
Is true Of almost every new thing that
marks a radical departure from old
Ideas, old faiths"
Asked to make a prediction as to the
length Of time that must elapse before
wireless biography will be ready for
business in the full sense Of the term.
Mr.. Edison smiled and answered:
II am not in the prediction business.
Nevertheless I will say that one year
Of hard work will probably put wire
less ~telegraphy in complete CONNER
cial harness. The public must under
stand that up to this time Mr.. Marconi
has had all the work upon his own
shoulders. His suspension was vitally
essential at every point.
Marconl Is oveworked.
Nothing could be done anywhere
save under his personal direction. 81
We have seen him racing back and forth
between this country and Europe, eX
perimenttng there, constructing hert
and bossing the ~stupendous job at al
points OF the compass simultaneously
The marvel Is that he pushed the worl
SO far ahead single handed and alone
But there will be a division of labo

Of Columbia university will doubles!
hereafter. Professor Michael I. Pupir
and myself. will constitute the com.

There Will be work enough for all o.

some progress. The practical opera

Rapid City, S. D.. June 3.-Emman-

has been consecrated by Bishop w. H.
Hare OF Sioux Falls, assisted by Arch
deacon G.. G. Ware OF Deadwood, Dean
w. H. Sparkling Of Rapid City, Rev.
William Wyllie of Sturgis, and Rev. "A.
p Banks of Spearfish. The sermon was
deliyered by Bishop Hare. who re-
lated a brief history Of the Rapid City
church. It was tWenty-one years ago
that he first visited the town and
preached In Liberty hall to a large con-
~gregation. At the close Of his sermon
he invited those interested in the or
ganization Of a church to remain, but
not a person stayed, and the bishop left
discouraged. He visited the town each
year for several years before a church
was finally organized. The present
church edifice was built about fifteen
years ago by Rev. G. G. Ware. 1t is
of stone with stained glass windows
and n OF the most substantial In the
western part OF the state. It has just
paid off the last of it's debt.
Bishop Hare went from Rapid City
to Sturgis,. where he conducted con-
frmation services, after which he re-
turned to Sioux Falls. He expects to
visit the Black Hills again the fore
part of July, when he will have a
class for confirmation at DeadWood.

Postmaster General Payne Says
I The Brooklyn Eagle Ex-

I Washington, June 8. -Postmaste.
General Payne yesterday afternoon
called attention to the published charge
hat the amounts paid by the govern
ment for rentals of postof1ces in New
York state exceeded what they should
De by over $500, 600.
T h a is" he said, that the to-
al amount Of rentals for ~postofices
n the state last ear aggregated only
,466. BLISS. This includes rentals for
light and heating"
The postmaster general said that the
entire amount paid by the government
for leases Of p%ostoffices In New York
Itate, outside Of New York and Brook
On, was only $145,464, as shown in the
'eport of the auditor. He said that In
some cases the government might have
to pay more money for postoftices than
would be expected of private tenants,
and in some other cases the govern
ment could get buildings for less, owing
to competition for the Office. He
pointed out that the buildings leased
~ the government are required to in
clude a p%ostoffice equipment, as well
as light and heat. He said he was
considering the ad~visabiltty Of modi-
lying the terms of the leases.
Post Office Inspector Mayer was in
conference with Assistant United
States District Attorney T4-gert yes
|terday afternoon in connection with
the presentation OF the Machen case to
the grand jury. While postal officials
deny that any immediate arrests are in
contemplation. they do not deny that
such steps might occur at any minute.
They deny any knowledge of reported
Impending arrests in New York in con
nection with the investigation of af-
fairs at the New York postof1ice, but
said that some arrests might be con
llemplated by the authorities there
without the knowledge of the depart
ment.
