TRIES TO KILL
A POLICEMAN
Desperate Negro Opens Fire
Oh Peace Guardian When
Arrested for Drunkenness
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. Bad
Workmanship on the part Of Tom
Evans. a negro, was all that saved the
life Of Policeman Keeling Thursday
night Evans had been drinking and
was yelling in the street when kell-
ing placed him under arrest. Evans
suddenly wrenched himself loose and
drawing a revolver, began firing at
the officer. The first bullet struck
Keeling in the foot, fracturing the
bones of the first, second and third
toes, and causing him TO fall to the
ground. KEELING, while lying on the
sidewalk, returned the fire and Evans
ran off The fusillade created intense
excitement and Marshal Shay and
other policemen were soon in pursuit
of the negro, who was finally cornered
in an apartment house, after having
been dislodged from a woodward. His
pistol was empty, but this did not de-
ter him from attempting TO bluff of
the Marshal. Evans was taken to the
County Jail, where it was discovered
that he had been shot in the foot.
When his shoe was removed the bull
let dropped out, having entered the
instep and gone through the fieshy
part of the foot, emerging at the heel.

at Rosemount to-day. talking over the
campaign with Parker. After the con-

confident of the election of Parker.
He said that he had gone through sew
eral campaigns and that he knew

pendent voter probably would decide
the election and that independent vot-

FAIRBANKS IN MISSOURI.
Nominee Addresses an Immense
Throng at Kansas City.

Throng at Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY. Mo. Sept. Sen
stor Fairbanks formally opened the
Republican campaign in Missouri to-
night. The ceremony took place in
Convention Hall and that immense
building was crowded.
Senator Fairbanks did not appear
until the meeting was well under way.
When he arrived he was greeted with
q tremendous burst Of applause from
the vast throng present. He said in
part:
There is no one more vitality concerned in
The uorkingmen OF the United States. 1t has
served them in the past and it will prove
helpful friend 10 them in the future.
Protection cannot keep open all the mills
ell the time III car keep open more OF them
and lor a longer Deriod OF time than free
II cannot keep wages at the highest Level
longer than free trade can.
This is founded on gOod reason. 1t Is an
ordinary. common-sense proposition. Under
free trade American workmen have 20 COM
pete not only with themselves, but with the
V-orlrnen OF all other countries while under
protection they are not oblised 10 compete
with Workmen IN other countries on the same
basis and they have only 10 compete with
sheir felloN-workmen in this country.
Fairbanks then referred to a visit
he had made in 1895 TO a wooden mill
IN Manchester, England, and to the
.act that he had found the mill ship
ping large quantities Of goods to the
United States. He had said TO himself
There is something wrong about
this" He continued:
When 1 left home there were thousands OF
men and women in different States walking
The highways and byways. seeking for Op-
portunity 10 work at any wage, but finding

chance 10 make the goods that being
produced in the English mills for own
consumption. Il seemed 10 me that the Dem
ocrstic policy which closed mills
and opened the English mills was a wrong
10 our country and countrymen There
IS no reason consistent with the interests OF
our own people which justify such a
- policy. The Republican party was against Il
in 1895 and II stands in protest against il to-
cay. We have no unfriendiness toward pro-
duoers in other lands. II is not because we
love them dess. but because love more

Beveridge Believes Parker Will Be
Beaten Worse Than Bryan.


OYSTER BAY. Sept. after his
conference with the President to-day,
which, he said, was principally of a
personal nature. Senator Beveridge
said:
I dislike TO make political predic-
tions, but IL appears TO me that the

Republicans unless there should be a
Democratic landslide. and there are
no indications Of such I believe
