love-crazed Man Shoots Girls Broth
ers and Himself.
Nyack, N. Y, Nov. 24.-The body OF
William H. Jones, aged thirty five, who
shot and killed Harry Briton and
wounded Frank Briton, was found dur.
Ing the morning at the rear of the
Baptist church, near the scene of the
murder. Jones had shot himself
through the heart, a revolver being
found near the body. The discovery
of the body followed an all nights
search for Jones, which began soon
after the shooting at the Briton home.
It is believed that Jones, after wan.
dering about for several hours, re.
turned to the vicinity of the Briton
home in the hope of seeing Jessie
Briton and not being able to safely
approach the house decided to kill
himself.
The murder and suicide followed an
attempt of Jones to see Jessie Briton,
with whom he was infatuated. Her
brothers refused his admittance to the
house, whereupon he drew a revolver
and began firing. Harry Briton was
killed instantly and his brother Frank
was severely wounded. At the hos
pital it was said that Frank Briton
would probably recover.

NEW VESSELS FOR NAVY.
Recommendations of General Board In.
ciude Three Rattieships.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Three first
class battleships of at least $4,000
tons displacement and Is knots, speed,
three scout cruisers of 5000 tons dis
placement, one gunboat of the Helena
class and four other gunboats of light
draught, two for use in the Philippines
and two for service on the rivers of
China, with additional torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers, are the
principal recommendations of the gen
eral board of the navy in it's pro-
gfamme of new construction to be
authorized by the next congress, which
is now under consideration by the
board on construction.
Although approaching fully the ne
cessity of scout cruisers in time of
war, the need of an adequate force of
destroyers and torpedo boats and the
immediate desirability of small gun
boats for service on the Asiatic STA
ton, several members of the board on
construction are in favor of concentrate
ing the fight for additional ships upon
the first recommendation of the gen.
eral board-that for three new battle
ships.

The BALFOUR GOVERNMENT /
Will FALL At EARLY DATE
COLLAPSE OF PRESENT MINISTRY
IN ENGLAND BELIEVED 70
BE NEAR At HAND.
GENERAL ELECTION LIKELY TO
FOLLOW FORMATION OF LIB
ERAL GOVERNMENT.

London, Nov. 24.-The recent rumors
OF an early dissolution Of parliament
and an appeal to the country are grad
ually crystallizing into more definite
form and while no official intimation
has yet been forthcoming the idea is
prevalent in well informed political
circles that Premier Balfour will take
an early opportunity to place his res.
ignation in the hands of the king.
Should this materialize the Liberals
will be invited to form a government.
parliament will meet for few days
session and a general election viii
occur early in the new year.
The political situation has SO rad.
teally altered during the last week
that even the government supporters
no longer argue that Mr.. Balfour has
sufficiently united party at his back
to again meet parliament with the OBJ
ject of initiating any programme to
the public advantage. The premier's
appeal to the Unionists at Newcastle a
week ago to unite on his fiscal policy
has not met with much success. On
the contrary Joseph Chamberlain, the
most powerful private member of the
Unionist coalition, directly joined is.
sue with his chief by speech at Bris.
toll Tuesday calling on Unionism to
rally to. the support of his own more
drastic fiscal proposals, which include
5O-cent tax on grain. The cleavage
of the party was thus more markedly
accentuated and many Unionist poll
ticians hold that no good purpose could
be served by longer retention OF
Office and that the weakness of the
party will only be further accumulated
by perpetuation of the existing rival
rdes between the two sections.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Secretary
Taft has made the following statement
relative to the authority of the presi-
dent in connection with expenditures
for. the Panama canal:
i'Section 1879, as amended in the act
of March 3, 1905, has no application
whatever to the expenditure of money
for the Panama canal under the Spoon
er act. The Spooner act expressly aus
thorizes the making of contracts nee.
essary in the construction of the canal,
appropriates $10,0O0,OO0 and provides
$135,000,000 of bonds to meet these
obligations. The president is author.
lied, therefore, to make contracts GER
tainly within the $135, 100000, plus the
$10,000,000 actually appropriated. This
Is another mares nest about the ca

tary forbids expenditures by depart.

Chairman Shonts of the Panama
canal commission, when asked as to
the authority of the commission to in.
cur Indebtedness beyond the sum of
$10,O0O,000 specifically appropriated by
congress last winter, said that an ex.
penditure of $135,000,000 had been au-

amply empowers the commission to
enter into contracts in excess Of the
sum made available by congress.
