Ministers Will Have Saloon Supervision

! Ministers Will have Saloon supervision
| The Ministerial Association of the
Panther Greek Valley and the eleven
saloon keepers of Summit Hill, against
whose license applications the former
recently filed remonstrances in the
Carbon county court, have compromis-
ed in a most peculiar manner and the
remonstrances will be Withdrawn.
The ministers alleged that there We're
too many saloons at Summit Hill and
they prayed the court to reduce tie
number proportionate to the Fopula-
tion. They declared that the eleve n
against whom they demonstrated were
| the most undesirable and their action
caused CONSERVATION among the tavern
proprietors.
! Summit Hill salOonists however, are
ingenious fellows and they decided to
see what could be done to alleviate
| the antagonism of the ministers. A
committee of the dealers called at a
meeting of the Ministerial Associa-
4
tion and humbly asked for mercy.
They represented that if they had done
any wrong it was not intentional and
| they promised to be good III the future
if only their licenses We're not taken
! from them.
The ministers, after some considera-
tion, agreed to relent in their war on
the liquor traffic providing each sa-
loonist paid S25.10 to the association
and signed an agreement giving the
preachers virtual supervision of the
drinking places. If the latter are not
conducted on the high plane of moral
ity exacted by the men of the cloth
the licenses are forthwith TO he revok
ed
The saloon men whacked up their
S25, signed the agreement and now
breathe easier.

OHIO MINER SHOOTS
WIFE'S PARENTS
Makes His Escape and Is Fol-
lowed by q Posse of
Fifty Men.

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, April IL. =
Frank Parks, twenty-four years old, a
miner of Crooksville, near here, this
afternoon shot, and it is believed, IA
tally wounded his wffe's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Sherwood Crooks.
Parks has been out of work for some
time. The loss of his position and the
consequent hardship is believed to
have made him melancholy. He had
quarreled with his wife, who had gone
to live with her parents. Parks called
at the home of his wifes parents this
morning, and as the result of a quarrel
picked up a pistol and shot Mr.. and
Mrs. Crooks in the abdomen. Parks
turned the weapon upon his wife, but
she held their seventeen months old
child in front of her, and the father
dared not fire. An attempt to commit
suicide was frustrated by his wife,
who appealed to him not to do so.
Parks left the house and has not been
overtaken.
All Crooksonville is excited over the
attempted double murder. Immediately
after the news became known a posse
Of fifty men and boys was formed.
The trail was taken up at the Crooks
home and was followed to the edge of
wood two miles north of the city
There it is supposed Parks turned and
after a. circuitous route secured a train
for his home in Delaware county. The
police of surrounding towns have been
notified and his capture is expected
within twenty-four hours.

FIRE IN HOSPITAL
CAUSES BAD PANIC
Patients Jump From Windows
and Many Are Severely
Injured.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April IL
While the city fire department, REIN
forced by companies from the suburbs,
was being taxed to its utmost fighting
the Occidental hotel fire this morning,
an alarm was turned in from ST. Vim
cents hospital. When the first fire
company arrived one life had been lost
and several persons had been serious
ly injured in the panic that followed
The Dead:
HARRIET LEEHY, jumped from the
fourth floor and instantly killed.
The Injured:
Miss Kate Beach,. believed to be fatally
injured by falling from third floor while
trying to escape by means Of a rope made
of bed clothing
Sister Superior Stella, seriously in
jured by shock following surgical opera
Sister Nordica, seriously injured by
shock
William Schneider, patient, who, at
the time Of the fire, was undergoing an
operation.
ated upon for appendicitis, ran down
stairs.
Several other nurses and attendants
were more or less bruised in their en-
deavor to escape from what they
thought was instant death.
For time it seemed that the flames,
which started among a pile of rugs,
under the east stairway, would find
their way to the upper floors, resulting
in a frightful holocaust. At every
window on the third and fourth floors
were crowded the palic-stricken men
and women, screaming for help to
those on the street below, who were
for more than twenty minutes prevent
ed from entering the building by the
dense smoke.
Panic on Upper Floors.
The panic that ragged on the third
and fourth floors continued. until long
after the fire had been Quenched. Pa
tients who had just undergone surgical
operations rushed from their beds to
the windows and attempted to throw
themselves to the ground.
Harriet Leehy, an old employe of the
hospital, leaped from window on the
fourth floor and when picked up was
dead.
In the rear, men and women were
making ropes of bed clothing, by which
they escaped to the ground below.
Katherine Beach, less fortunate than
the rest, lost her hold and fell from
the third floor, and is now in a critical
condition from internal injuries sus-
taiEed.

LIVES ENDANGERED
BY POISONOUS AIR
Large Gas Main Bursts and
Many Sleeping People in
Danger of Fumes.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, April IL
night has this City and Pelham in a sit
uation of great peril. An accident be-
fell the Westchester Lighting company
which furnishes gas to these places, as
result of which the gas went out
for time and then started up again,
pouring out its poisonous fumes in
homes when nine-tenths of the resi-
dents were asleep.
Police and f1remen were hurriedly
summoned and they made a rapid
house to house canvass, notifying the
householders of their danger. Bells
were rung and whistles shrieked to
spread the alarm. Telephones were
called into requisition, but the great
est danger is to those who live In out
lying districts where it has been i'm
possible to reach.
Mount Vernon is a city covering a
dozen square miles, with a population
of $4,000, and great anxiety is expressed
as to whether fatal results will be
avoided by the urgent methods adopt
ed to arouse the inhabitants.
There were many reports Of families
who happened to wake up just in time
to smell the gas escaping in their
homes.
Frank A. Stratton, president of the
lighting company, said at midnight that
the company had all it's employees out
in Mount Vernon and Pelham with
route books showing the location Of
every meter, and that the men were
notifying subscribers as rapidly as
possible. The gas will not be turned
on again until tomorrow noon.

DOESN'T WANT BAIL
President of Wrecked Bank
Prefers to Remain In Jail.

NEW YORK, April 17.-David Roths-
child, until recently president of the
wrecked Federal bank, was arrested
here tonight and taken to police head
quarters. At his own request, no ef-
fort was made to secure bail for him.
Assistant District Attorney Kresel,
who has charge of the case, said:
"Rothschild told me that he did not
know where the $225,0O0 went. A lot
of it, he says, went for expenses. He
said to me that he would like to know
himself where the money is
Mr.. Kresel asserted that Rothschild
got the money from the bank by means
of accommodation notes. .>
He would get some friends to give
him note for $4,000 or $4,000, which
he would have discounted in his own
bank by his discount clerk" continued
the assistant district attorney. HE
would have the amount of the note
placed to his own credit, and he drew
on that"
Rothschild is charged with the mis-
appropriation of something like $780,
600. He will be arraigned tomorrow.

FEAST ON DOG MEAT
igOrrOte Head Hunters Enjoy
Delicacy at St. Louis.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 17.-Forty-
nine members of the savage head
hunting Igorrote tribe, who form part
of the Philippine exhibit at the worlds
fair, today enjoyed their delayed feast
of dog meat. The dish is regarded as a
great delicacy, and only chiefs and
head men are allowed to partake of
it.
The carcasses were placed in a large
pot, and while the meat is cooking
the whole tribe executed a fantastic
dance about the fire, which was built
In the center of the Igorrote village.
1t required about an hour to com
plete the culinary preparations and
then the meat was divided into six
portions. The chiefs and headmen
then formed six groups and with much
ceremony the dog meat was eaten.

NO MORE RIOTING
AT PENSACOLA
Bluelackets Who Attempt to Buy Arms
Are Sent to Ship in Chains.

PENSACOLA, Fla, April II. - No
more rioting here by the bluetackets
has occurred since last night, when
one. artilleryman from Fort Barancas
was killed and four or five bluejackets
wounded, but it was due solely to the
presence of three marines, heavily
armed, that trouble of the most serious
nature was avoided. During the night
and early morning the bluejackets
made efforts to purchase arms and am
munition. The detachments of ma
rines were relieved from duty early
this morning. During the time they
were ashore many bluejackets were
arrested and sent back to the ships in
chains.

ing the death Of Private Young, re-

ON REHALEoE MP. MURPHY.

Mr.. Muir ny, with his Tammany lieu
tenants, arrived in the city this aft
ernOon and for nearly an hour was in
conference with Senator Hill. He pre-
sented to Mr.. Hill the name of w.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, as
Tammany's candidate for delegate at
large. 1t is understood that Mr.. Hill
Immediately asked him to name his
candidate for president of the United
States, request which Mr.. Murphy
parried by saying that Tammany had
no candidate, but firmly believed and
would reiterate the belief in the con-
vention tomorrow, and at the national
convention at st. Louis, that it should
not be compelled to name it's candidate
or be instructed for any particular
candidate, until the platform was
agreed upon and a proper man found
who would be in accord with it's is
sues.
To this Senator Hill replied that it
must be perfectly apparent to Mr..
Murphy that almost tWo-thirds of the
delegates to tomorrows convention
would be in favor of instructing for
Judge Parker, and that Tammany
should therefore gracefully accede to
the majority demand. If it did not,
Mr.. Hill is quoted as saying, then
Tammany must take the consequences
of its opposition, because the delegates
at large must not include any man who
might on the floor of the national con-
vention repudiate the unit rule as
adopted for instruction by the state
convention.
He intimated that in place of Mr..
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-04-18

there is likely to be precipitated upon
the floor of the convention a battle
royal which has not had a parallel in
state political conventions for many
years.
Since the Saratoga convention Of
1900, when Gen. Charles N. Bulger,
of Oswego, representing Senator Hill,
putting his finger almost under the
nose of Richard Croker, denounced
Tammany Hall and its politics, Tam
many has waited as an organization to
present it's compliments to Mr.. Hill,
and although it is perfectly apparent
tonight that the interests dominated by
Mr.. Hill control a large majority of the
conventions vote, it is a foregone con-
cluSiOn that such orators as Bourke
Cochran, Thomas F. Grady, Charles A.
TOwne and Victor Bowling WILL on the
floor of the convention, personally ac-
cuse Mr.. Hill of attempting to wreck
the party.
Leaders Refuse to Talk.
These are not statements of mere
suppOsition, for although Leader
Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany Hall,
will not say a word tonight, and al
though former Senator Hill is equally
reticent, those who are extremely close
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-04-18
ON BEHALF OF Mr.. HILL,

That unless Tammany withdraws
what he calls a useless opposition to
the instruction of the state delegation
for Judge Parker, Tammany Hall will
be practically read out of the cOnVen-
tion, delegations in it's favor outside
of Manhattan refused q seat in the
convention, and Tammany as body
not allowed to name a national dele
gate at large. T:F' 4-.-'-N.
ON BEHALF OF Mr.. MURPHY,
AS representing Tammany Hall, that
New York has met defeat in national
conventions only when it has instruct
ed it's delegation; that because of the
fact that the party platform and policy
are as yet vaguely defined it is unwise
to send an instructed delegation; that
Tammany, casting the greatest pro-
! portion of the Democratic vote in the
state, is entitled to name a delegate
at large; that a Democratic state
committee should not be elected at
this convention, when state issues are
dominant
