WALTER BISHOP IS
SHOT BY VIM. LYDLE

Walter Bishop, a well-known character
about town, who has frequently figured
in police circles, was shot and badly
wounded this morning between 1890 and
o'clock by VIII Lydle, young white
man who only yesterday paid his way out
of the city Jail. The shooting occurred on
the corner Of Second avenue and Twenty
third street. AS yet no motive for the
trouble has been found.
The bullet entered Bishops side and
came out few inches further toward the
back. 1t is not thought to be very serious.
Lydle had not been arrested at 2:30
o'clock, although the entire police force
had been notified to look out for him.
1t seems from the best evidence obtain
able that Bishop and some associates had
jumped on Lydle for some reason un-
known earlier in the evening and beat
him up rather badly. Lydle secured a
pistol and waited near Second avenue
and Twenty-third street for Bishop.
There seems to be no one in the neigh
borhood who saw the shooting, and the
police were unable last night to find
any one who knew anything about It,
Policeman Mccullough was the first to
arrive, but Lydle had already left the
scene of the shooting. The policeman
found Bishop in house of bad charae-
ter near Twenty-third street. He was
sent to his residence on Sixteenth street
near Seventh avenue. He refused 70
make any statements regarding the
shooting. and for while even professed
not to know who shot him.
Lydle yesterday morning paid the city
800 on a previous charge of carrying
concealed weapons, dsorderly conduct
and discharging firearms in the city
limits. He had been in Jail several days
waiting for money from his relatives to
nav the fine.

MAN PLAYED ROLE
OF BEING INSANE
SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER ARREST
ED IN THE NEIGHBoRHooD OF
FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.
THREE CHARGES AGAINST HIM.

A young white man with an intelligent
face and nicely dressed was either crazy
or giving a good imitation. The police are
inclined to think that he is acting a
role
The young man fought like a tiger be-
fore he would be locked up. and the side
of Policeman Joe Nix's face will bear evil
dence that he is we'll and strongly made.
He was loafing about the First Methodist
church and residents in that neighborhood
telephoned the police that suspicious
character was hanging around. Policeman
Nix answered the call and had a long
chase and afterwards a hot fight after he
caught his man.
The young man refuses to give his name
and pretends to be insane. At times he
really seems to be crazy, but at other
tunes he seems to forget his role and fails
to receive the applause due him from
the audience. which consists of other in
mates of the jail
Whether insane or a skillful actor, there
are three charges against this man, one
for carrying concealed weapon. another
for being a tramp and the third for re-
sisting an officer. The policeman can tes-
tify that he has large and varied vo-
cabulary OF curse words.

Commissioner from Porto RIGA
Given Delegates Power
WILLIAMS LEADS THE FlGRI
Porto Rican Is Appointed Member
of the House Committee on In
sular Affairs Amid Great
Applause.

Washington, February BY unani-
mously agreeing to a resolution amend
ing the rules of the house today, the
resident commissioner to congress from
Porto Rico was given additional author
ity, equal in all essential respects to that
of delegate from territory. the ae-
ton not requiring the concurrence of the
senate.
A bill which provided for a delegate
from Porto Rico" passed the house during
the last congress, but was amended by
the senate to such an extent that 1t
failed. A bill Duplicating the action of
the house at the last session is now pend
ing but meanwhile Porto Rico will re-
ceiye under the action taken today prae-
tically all of the benefits extended in the
measure.
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader en-
deavored to have the report recommitted
to the rules committee with an instruc-
ton of a resolution giving the Porto Rico
commissioner present all the power and
rights of delegate from that territory.
This it was stated would give him addi-
| tional privileges. The previous question
was ordered on the resolution and forty
minutes debate ensued
Does Not Preclude Legislation.
Mr.. Crupacker of Indiana said the reso-
luton was a concession to Porto Rico
and did not preclude further legislation.
Such future legislation might only result
he said in another example of the in
corrigible cussedness of republican
senate. " according to the gentleman from
Mississippi.
Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin, chairman of
the lhsuIar affairs committee although
supporting the resolution, believed Porto
Rico with million Inhabitants was as
much entitled to a delegate in congress
as Hawaii with less than 100000 inhabi-
tants.
Mr. Williams of Mississippi predicted
that this was the very last legislation
that would be had on the matter during
the hfty-eighth congress. He declared
the republicans were outlining the posi-
ton of the party by giving only partial
! justice to Porto Rico.
Mr.. Grosyenor of Ohio declared the at
titude of the minority could be construed
as a step in the direction of statehood
| for Porto Rico.
NO more than giving Hawaii a dele
gaze was step in the direction of state
| hood for that territory" retorted Mr..
Williams. The resolution was unanimously
agreed to and the speaker announced
amid applause, the appointment of Mr..
DeGetau as member of the house com
| mittee on 1insular affairs On motion of
Mr.. Mahoh OF. Pennsylvania the house be-
gan the consideration of bills on the prj-
