A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
A Cheer for Jeff Davis Starts Fight In
Which Three Men Are Killed
in West Virginia.

Naugatuck, w. Va. Nov. ia
cheer for JEFF Davis by drunken man
on Beaver creek on the Kentucky side
of the river Friday resulted in a bloody
tragedy in which three men were
killed and three others were wounded.
There had been much drinking after
the election on Tuesday. Con Estep,
an old confederate soldier. was among
the men who had become intoxicated.
When he yelled: "Hurrah for JEFF
Davis!" G. Prater, young man in the
crowd told Estep to shut up or he
would kill him." Enoch Bentley, an.
other member Of the crowd, told Estep
to "hurrah for anyone he pleased"
Prater turned upon Bentley and emp
tied his pistol at short range, all five
shots taking effect. After he had
fallen Bentley shot and killed Prater.
Rube Morgan, friend of Prater's.
who had shot Bentley after the latter
had fallen, fired at Tom and John
Bowling, friends of Estep. and then
fed, but he was shot and MORALLY
wounded by the Bowlings. Bentley
died soon after the shooting, and Nor
gan died two hours later. During the
fight John Sadler, belonging to the
Prater gang, was dangerously wound
ed. The Bowlings were both hit, but
not fatally hurt. An election bet had
caused hard feeling between Estep and
Prater. The excitement over the trag-
edy is intense and another clash of
the factions is expected.

HE MUST ANSWER.
Federal Grand Jury Returns New In
dictment Against United States
Senator Burton.

st. Louis, Nov. 13.-The federal
grand jury, convened Friday. returned
an indictment late Friday night against
United States Senator Burton, of Kan
sas. 1t is stated that certain features
in the former Indictment against SEN
ator Burton, which was Quashed, were
remedied in this new indictment. The
allegations in the present indictment
are the same as in the one quashed.
That while senator of the United
States he accepted money from the
Rialto Grain & Securities company, Of
st. Louis, for services rendered be-
fore the post office department in be-
half of that company, which was being
investigated by inspectors. The only
change is in the legal wording of the
indictment, which is drawn to avoid
the errors found in the former.
This indictment is the third found
against Senator Burton, and, should
a demurrer to this be sustained, 1t will
be impossible to ever reindict him for
his alleged offense in connection with
the Rialto company, owing to the
statute of limitations.

ROOSEVELT PEACE TEMPLE.
Tribute to President in London Re
calls Suggestion to Perpetuate
His Triumph.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE tribute
paid to President Roosevelt in London
Thursday, in connection with the lord
mayors parade, has directed attention
here to a suggestion emanating from
j. Selwin TAFT, local representative OF
the International Banking corporation,
that the triumph of the president as
peacemaker be perpetuated by the cree
ton in the capital city of a magnificent
Roosevelt temple of peace" The au.
thor of this project feels there will
be no difficulty in raising by public
subscription a fund sufficient to erect
a structure in every respect worthy
of the triumph at Portsmouth. The
suggestion is that there be erected. a
building of heroic proportions to be
used for conventions and meetings OF
national Importance, to be of rich de.
sign with ornamentation emblematic
of peace and perhaps symbolic OF the
success of President Roosevelt in tight,
ening the bonds of brotherhood be-
tween the north and south.

Greed and Duty.

No man holds his lie for himself
alone, but holds its splendid gifts as
trustee--a trustee who must come to
an account some day, with the Most
High.
Shall I be cast down because our
efforts Seem to result In SO little?
Shall I nope and fret because the
world decides against US at the ballot
box?
Not unless history shows me that
ma1orities are always right, and bal
lot-boxes ihfalllble.
The man who strives merely to run
with the biggest crowd is, at best, q
sorry creature. The man who strives
to be right, and do right is, after all,
the only citizen who can rest under
the infinite comfort of an approving
conscience.
AS legatees of the patriots of the
past and trustees Of the present and
the future, let us stand firm in the
defense of the right.
Let US preach its gospel to whose
ever will hear. And, as mere matter
II honesty and patriotic duJy, let US
speak as we believe, vote as we speak,
and hold aloft, always, the higher and
better ideals to which the human race
must ever strive If it would laove on
ward and upward.-1om Wutso,p II. his

CABINET CRISIS IN FRANCE
EXCITING SCENES IN CHAMBER
OF DEPUTIES.
Motion to Discuss Policy Of Govern
ment Is Defeated-Another Favor
able to Ministry Adopted.

Paris, Nov. 11.-A cabinet crisis was
Unexpectedly precipitated in the
chamber of deputies Friday afternoon.
During a scene of extreme violence
the ministry supported motion OF
NJ Dumont, radical republican, to dis
cuss the general policy of the gov
eminent, but the opposition of the ma
governments strength, causing the de-
feat of the motion. M. Etienne, min
lister of the interior, and M. Berteaux,
the war minister, Immediately left the
chamber amid disorder. The departs
ure of the ministers was generally in
terpreted as conveying their intention
to resign, but Premier Rouvier assert
ed, amid taunts, that the ministry re-
NAMED ready to meet its obligations.
M. Etienne later returned to his seat
among the ministers.
After bitter personal alteration
with M. Isnard, radical socialist, con-
tinued in the absence of M. Berteaux,
had brought out the declaration from
M. Jaures, the socialist leader, that the
chamber was unable to proceed with
the ministry divided, M. Berteaux re-
entered the chamber, but did not re-
sumo his ministerial seat, taking his
old place as deputy of the extreme
left party, thus indicating his intention
to resign.
NJ Rouvier declared that the fall OF
the ministry did not depend on the
act of single minister. He defend
ed the work of the cabinet. 1t was
now strangled by miserable personal
differences, but was we'll prepared to
give good account of its services.
He pointed out that a change in the
ministry now would jeopardize the final
adoption of the bill providing for the
separation of church and state. The
premier closed with saying: "You may
find ADLER hands thar mine to defend
the republic, but you will not find
those Offering it greater safety"
The debate proceeded amid tumult
The ministerial benches remained full
except for M. Berteaux, who contin-
ued to sit among the socialists. Later
M. Berteaux closed lengthy speech
with saying that he had left the minis.
terial bench and did not intend to re-
turn. A test motion prejudicial to
the ministry was defeated after which
a motion favorable to the ministry
was adopted by $40 votes to lat. thus
insuring the continuance in Office Of
the Rouvier cabinet, with the excep'
! ton of NJ Berteaux.

Reports from the Elections.

From nearly all quarters the cleo
tion returns indicate general upris- I
ing against the manipulation of po-
litical parties by and for special in
terests. Party lines are shattered
almost everywhere, and independent
voting appears to have been the rule.
In New York City the returns as
reported give Mcclellan, the Tamma
ny candidateafor mayor, a small plu-
rality over Hearst, the Municipal
Ownership candidate, with WINS the
Republican candidate far behind; but
Hearst charges fraud on the part of
of Ia mmany Hall, both at the cast
ing of the vote and in the count, and
promises to prove frauds enough to
give him the certificate of election
upon the official count. Hearsts
charges of fraud by Tammany are con-
tirmed by Jerome, the independent
candidate for reelection as district
attorney, whose election is conceded
by small plurality, and also by WINS,
the Republican candidate, who has
volunteered to be one of Hearst'S
counsel without compensation.
In Philadelphia the popular inn
pulse so emphatically expressed In
plurality against the old ring of
about 43, $685.. And the wave of this
impulse spread over the entire State
of Pennsylvania, for the Democratic
candidate for State treasurer, VIM.
II, Berry, was elected by 100000.
In Ohio the governor and both hous-
es of the legislature are Democratic.
Hannaism is out, Coxism is out, and
Ohio will now be superseded by a
code giving self-government to the
corporation-ridden cities of thatState.
In Toledo, Brand Whitlock, the
personal friend of the late Mayor
Jones, was elected Mayor as an indie
pendent candidate by 5000.
The result in Cincinnati, where
George B. Cox, known as "Boss'' Cox,
has long been The Republican leader,
was disastrous to him. After the
bitterest campaign of years, Cox's
candidate for Mayor, was defeated by
Edward Dempsey, the Democratic
candidate, by vote of 40,373 to 3D.
372, plurality of 5000 for Dempsey.
In Cleveland Tom L. johnson is
elected Mayor for the third time by a
much larger plurality than ever be-
fore. His plurality is reported to be
$4,000. All his associates op the Dem
ocratlc ticket were elected with him..

Remarkable Growth Of Company In
35 Years-New York Life Ignores
Missouri Order.

New York, Nov. 1O-John r. Hege.
man, president of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company, was the first
witness before the insurance investi.
eating committee of the legislature
when it resumed business Thursday.
Before Mr.. Hegeman was asked q
question Mr.. Hughes, counsel to the
committee, called the name of L. E..
Mullaney who, upon responding to his
name, was requested to remain in the
room. Mr.. Mullaney is the caretaker
of the house in Albany which, as has
been brought out in previous testi-
mony. was maintained by A. G. Fields.
an employee of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company, and occupied by him
during sessions of the legislature.
The expenses of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company were again
taken up with Mr.. Hegeman, and 1t
was shown that in 1904 $1,940,044 was
paid for salaries, of which 16 officers
received S303,105. Previous to 1892
the president of the company received
a salary and commissions, but in 1892
Mr.. Hegeman's salary was fixed at
$4,000 without commissions, and in
1905 was raised to 100000. Vice
President Haley Fiske's salary is
$4,000.
The salary Of George H. CASTOR, Sec
ond vice president, is s37,500 and Of
Frank o. Ayers, third vice president,
$16,250. No executive officer, Mr..
Hegeman said, now receives any other
compensation than his salary. In de-
failing the growth Of the company's
business Mr.. Hegeman said that IS
years ago less than $250,000 would
have bought out the company, while
to-day $25O,000,O00 would not do it.
He remembered the time when the
company had to go ut.and borrow the
money to pay death claim, while now
the company has death every minute
of the "a hours and is able to pay
them.
