MANIAC USES A Gun
Gen. Chaffee Chokes and Dis.
arms Him.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.
Robert Manning, messenger in the
war department, today was attacked
by William j. O'Brien in his room In
the department and shot in the back.
The assaflant was quickly overpower-
ed and disarmed. Manning's wound is
believed to be serious.
The shooting occurred in the mail
and record division of the adjutant
generals Office. O'Brien is an inmate
of St. Elizabeth's asylum. He entered
the room, and, fourishing a revolver,
fired at random. In addition to shoot
ing Mr.. Manning, shot also took eff
feet in the left arm of Arthur Wicker,
a clerk. Another shot barely missed
Miss Emma Saxton, also a clerk.
O'Brien is a discharged soldier of the
United States army, and was under
treatment at the asylum. He had been
hanging around the war department
for over two hours today. when finally
he entered the room of the record di-
vision and announced that he was dis
satisfied with his discharge papers. He
Immediately opened fire. Before the
maniac could fire third time he was
overpowered by James J. Dawson,
messenger. 1t required the combined
strength of half a dozen men to
finally subdue the man. Prominent
among them was Lieut.. Gen. A. r.
Chaffee, chief of staff. The lunat1c
still held the smoking weapon In his
hand when Gen. Chaffee, with his left
hand on the mans throat, took the
weapon from him and also the papers
in his pocket. The man was taken to
the police station, 1T requiring four
men to get him out Of the building.

LUMBERMEN FORM
A RAILROAD BUREAU
They Oppose the Eight Hour and
Anti Injunction Bills.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.
The National Wholesale Lumber Deal
ers' association today adopted a reso-
luton to establish transportation bu-
reau for the protection of members and
the collection of claims against the
railroads, the formulation of the plans
for the bureau being left to the trus-
tees. The report of the committee on
railroads recommended this bureau as
the result of complaints of insufficient
supply of cars, delay in delivery of
carloads, excessive weights and over
charges as the result of alleged care
lessness of the railroads, delay caused
by methods of adjusting overcharge
claims, unwarranted demurrage
charges and lack of uniformity Of rates.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
unqualified disavowaI of the eight-hour
bill and the so-called anti-injunction
bill now in congress, and urging mem
bers of congress to defeat them. These
officers were selected:
President, Lewis c.. Slade, Saginaw,
Mich; vice presidents, Lewis Dill, Bal
tfmore; John M. Hastings, Pittsburg;
treasurer, Fred N. Cole, New York;
secretary, E. F. Perry, New York.
Trustees were also elected.

association was held, at which speech

Minnesota is very close to the front

many other respects.
The want of funds is a sufficient
reason for not making an exhibit, but
the money should have been provided.
Better that something else should have
been neglected and the money set
aside for this exhibit. Let us hope
that the commissioners will not give
UP the plan of placing a university ex-
hibft until every means to supply funds
have been exhausted. It is a case

sTATE FAIR IMPROVEMENTS.


The management of the state fair is
commercially busy in arranging al
ready for the next exhibition of the
association, and for such improvements
in the fais and fair grounds as will add
to the comfort of the people and the
success of Minnesota's great annual ag-
ricultural show.
First among the improvements to
consider comes the transportation
question. Certainly the means of get
ting to and from the state fair are
greatly inferior now to what they were
in the days when the steam railroads
carried trainloads of thousands Of pas
sengers directly into the heart of the
grounds. Last year the transportation
facilities, though a great effort was
made to have them equal to all de-
mands, were confessedly inadequate.
People in these cities stood for hours
at busy corners waiting to get standing
room in cars crowded to suffoeation on
the great days of the fair. In getting
away from the grounds the crush was
still more severe. We have no refec-
tons to make in the matter, further
than to state the fact and to say that
the difficulty can be remedied. 1t is for
the street railway people and the state
10
teal method of accommodating the
public. It can be done and must be
done, and 1t ought to be done before
next September.
We would again urge, also, upon the
fair anagement consideration of the
propriety of abolishing the evening en-
tertainnaents provided for visitors to the
fair grounds. This feature seems to us
now to have become unnecessary and
improper. 1t is not needed from the fl
nancia1 point of view, for the fair from
now on is obviously a money maker. 1t
is unjust to the people of these two
cities, where visitors to the fair would
spend their evenings in attendance
upon local attractions were they not
diverted to the fair grounds 1t adds
nothing TO the actual pleasure of those
who come to us from the country, and
who will go home much better pleased
If they have had the variety Of enter
tainment which the fair and the city to-
gether offer. rather than If they have
practically lived night and day on the
association grounds. We believe that
the fair authorities could very properly
dispense with this feature, and we call
upon them at this time, before any
preparations are completed or any con-
tracts riade, to give it careful consid-
Grafton.

should realize what they have done in
the creation of this body, the results
that are coming from it and it's certain
final effect before it is too late. Any
legislature would deserve to have a
permanent memorial tablet placed in its
honor in the new capitol which should
utterly and forever abolish the board.

institutions built up by philanthropic
inspiration and generous public con-
tributions have been placed at the

chooses to board and scuttle them.

Wholesale Lumbermen Confer.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
With the members of the Eastern
States Retail Lumber Dealers asso-
citation as it's guests, the twelfth an
nuaI convention of the National Whole
sale Lumber Dealers association, be-
gan here. There are in attend
ance more than 200 lumbermen from
every state and territory.
In his annual address President Pen
dennis White, of Tonawanda, N. Y,
urged the wholesale dealers to become
more closely associated. Secretary Eu
gene w. Perry, of New York, in his
annual report, gave detailed account
of the operations of the past year.
which operations, he said. had been
carried on with strict adherence to the
first principle of the association, viz:
To foster trade and commerce and to
produce uniformity and certainty in the
customs and usages Of said trade.
The principal matter decided today
was the organization of a freight bu-
reau to which shall be confined the
larger subjects of transportation. 1t
is not intended that the bureau shall
go into the settlement of freight dis
putes or claims, but simply to treat the
question Of rates in their broader as
poets. A committee was named to
formulate plan of organization.

PRINCE WAS CRUEL
Abnormal Deeds Attributed to
Arenberg.

BERLIN, March 3.-The inquiry
into the sanity of Lieut.. Prince Prosper
Won Arenberg, who is serving a term
of imprisonment for the murder of a
native named Cain, suspected Of being
a British spy, during the period of his
cruelties to natives as commander of a
station in German Southwest Africa,
began today before a military court
of the First guards division. The
prince, since his conviction in 1900,
his sentence to death and the commu-
'tation of this sentence by Emperor
William to fifteen years Imprisonment,
has shown evidences of insanity. The
object now is to- learn If he was de-
ranged In 1899. when he committed
the acts which resulted in his sentence
to death.
The examination of witnesses
brought out instances of the princes
abnormal cruelty and his liking to in
ffct pain and suffering. One witness,
who had served the princes father in
Belgium as hestler, testified that when
eight years old the prince delighted i'll
destroying the eyes of live fish with
sticks; that he would catch cats in a
trap, amputate their feet and Their
set dogs upon them, and that he once
hanged badger by it's hind feet for
two days, then tied up the animals
muZzIe and set dogs upon it. The wit
ness said he regarded the prisoner as
diseased mentally. The princes cous~
in died insane. His mother, who was
extremely nervous, once presented the
boy a little fancy bred French dog.
The young prince set a savage cur
upon the little dog and otherwise mall
treated it. He was accustomed to
fight with his tutors, not one of whom
retained that position long.
DR.. Schlueter, who accompanied the
prince on his return from Southwest
Africa, testified to various eccentrici-
ties on board the ship which denoted
insanity.
A witness from Southwest Africa
testified that the prince had once
caught an immense yenomous serpent
by the tail and killed 1t in the manner
of the native juggIers, as we'll as 9TH

FEES ARE TOO STIFF

WASHINGTON, d. c., March B.
Much complaint has come to the de-
partment of justice against the exorbi-
tant fees eXacted in the federal dis
trict and commissioners courts in the
Nome district of Alaska The fees for
process serving and the other court
costs were formerly moderate, but they
were advanced after 1900.
This was the brilliant work of c. A.
3. Frost, the special agent of the de-
partment of Justice, who visited Nome
IN I900 and who was sentenced to Jail
Tor contempt of court at the time of the
Noyes scandals. All process serving in
the district court at Nome, for instance,
costs IS for each defendant, the cost
in many cases being so high as to pro-
hibit poor defendants from taking ap-
peals and thus exhausting the means
of justice. Strangely enough, fees of
all sorts in the Nome district are high
er than in the Yukon district, where
prices of the neeessaries of life are
higher and actual court expenses cor
'respondingly greater.

Strong Stuff Needed.

: Politicians naturally yearn for a
colorless and scowardly programme
which will take them to the official
crib by stealth, but the average voter
is made of sterner stuff. No party
worth its salt was ever killed by the
longest sojourn in the cold shades Of
opposition; no party ever survived
apostasy from Its heartfelt beliefs and
its Inherited ideals. The Democracy
should be conservative, but should not
be craven. Let the great issues Of the
time be boldly put; let the leaders be
men whose personality will constitute
standing guarantee of their creed.
True Democrats ask nothing more;
they will be content with nothing less.
