The duel lasted from Bement, H.,

found, helpless, on the floor of his car.
Ryan's wounds are three-one in the
neck, entering at the back and passing
out through the mouth; and two pain
full p~erforations of the shoulder.
Greene is also shot three times. One
bullet passed through his left lung, an

ROOSEVELT IS WARNED
DR.. James A. Egnn Asks the Public
Health Association to Prevent
Presidents Trip.

Boston, Sept. 27.-Dr. James A. Egan,
secretary of the Illinois board of health,
has appealed to the American Public
Health association, I'M session here, to
use every effort to prevent President
Roosevelt from making his proposed
trip to New Orleans in October. Dr..
Egan declares that the present yellow
fever conditions in Louisiana are such
as to cause grave fears for the personal
safety of Mr.. Roosevelt and the MEM
bers Of his party, as well as the throngs
who would doubtless be attracted to
New Orleans to see the president. He
declares that past statistics make abb
surd the assurances Of the. New Orleans
physicians that the outlook in Septem-
Der may be taken to mean that condi-
tons will be improved in October. He
asserts that the fever is not 10Y under
control in Louisiana, nor will it be
until December.

MADE THE GERMANS ANGRY
Publication Of Kaiser's Remarks
Uttered IN Private Audience.
Congressman Dnrthold and other
Americans Accused of Gross vio-
lation Of Emperor's Confidence.

Berlin, Sept. 2S.-The publication In
American newspapers of the remarks
attributed to the kaiser In regard to
the yellow peril at the time he gave
an audience recently to the party OF
American congressman, has resulted in
the congressman being accused by Ger
man officials with grossly violating the
confidence of the emperor. The conduct
of the congressman has been character
tied as disgraceful.
The reports of the kaiser's utterance
were transmitted to Japan, where they
aroused the ire Of the Japanese govern
ment. The Japanese minister in Ber-
lin made formal protest to Baron Won
Richthofen, in the absence OF Chan
cellor Won Ruelow. The baron's ex-
PLANTATION was mot satisfactory, SO the
minister went to Baden-Baden, where
he saw Prince Won Buelow personally.
He was assured that the kaiser's words
had been grossly misrepresented. The
whole blame was put upon the Amer
lean congressman. The kaiser only re-
ceived the congressman in private audi
ence, it was declared, with the under
standing that the conversation was to
be confidential.
The congressman in the party in
Guided Representatives Littlefield, OF
Maine; Bartholdt, of Missouri; Waldo,
of New York; McNary, of Massachu-
sets; Norris, of Nebraska, and Barch-
field, of Pennsylvania.
Bartholdt issued a statement in Ber"
line Saturday in behalf Of all the men
received by the kaiser, repudiating all
responsibility for the circulation of UNI
founded reports of the kaiser's utter
ances. The National Zeitung, a lead
ing liberal organ, retorted by saying
that Bartholdt himself had telephoned
to its Office the report of the converse
ton with the emperor which it pub
lished.

GOING INTO LIQUIDATION
The Kanse city state hank Closed
70 Protect Depositers who Wi1l
All be Paid I'm Full.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 26.-The Kan
aas City state bank has closed for vol
untary liquidation through the Fidel-
ity Trust Co. Depositors will be paid
In full by the assignee.
The decision to liquidate was reached
following a meeting of representatives
of the clearinghouse banks. A thor
ough investigation of the accounts OF
the bank had been made and a carefully
prepared statement of the and
liabilities checked in every detail, and
the collaterals held for loans appraised
by financial experts. This was done at
the request Of the banks officials, who
were seeking a way to close the bank
without placing in jeopardy one dollar
Of the depositors' money. Ever since
the failure of the Salmon & Salmon
bank at Clinton, Mo-, the banks busi-
ness had been on a decline. Many large
depositors withdrew their accounts, be-
cause of the fact that the bank had ad-
vanced the Salmons more than $500, 600
on collateral that is now said by bank
ers to be gilt-edged. At that time the
value Of the collateral was problematic-
al, and timid depositors FASTENED to
close their accounts. This caused a
heavy drain on the resources of the
bank, and in order to avert trouble the
officers of the institution decided upon
liquidation as the easiest way out of q
perplexing financial tangle.

PREDICTS. LOWER PRICES
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Sends Out q Word Of Cheer.
lower Retail Prices VIII Prevail
During Coming Winter for Meats,
Dairy Products and Poultry.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul-
ture predicts lower retail prices during
the coming winter season for meat.
dairy products, poultry and other ne
cessities of life. He says the relief for
the householder will come from the
enormous yields Of small grain and corn
in the great grain territory Of Illinois,
Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas
Heavy crops" the secretary said,
shave resulted in the return of normal
agricultural conditions in the great
producing states. The meat producers
have been losing money for the past
three years. Grain cost too much. There
was no profit in feeding, as strange as
this may seem to people who pay such
prices as we do for our meat. But the
heavy grass crop of this year, in addi-
ton to the heavy corn crop and the
heavy cats crop, will all combine to
bring about normal feeding conditions.
And this means a direct influence on
horses, beef, pork, dairy products and
poultry"

While war in the Philippines has
long since been over, SO far as large
operations are concerned, the regular
troops in service at the various posts
in the islands are still exposed to
enough dangers to keep them on their
mettle-enough perils and hardships
of many kinds to test their soldieriy
qualities and bring out such heroisnl
as they may have in their makeup.
Substantial evidence OF all this Is IF
forded in the long list, recently issued
by the war department, of the men in
service to whom certificates Of merit

BANK WRECKED BY BURGLARS

the bank vault with dynamite and car
ried away between $4,000 and $10,009
in currency and geld belonging to the
bank, $240 in money and half a dozea

which is in a building occupied as a
department store by c.. F. Burnett &
