DROPPED DEAD
Speakers Sudden Call While Address.
ing Telephone Men.

Chicago, June 20-Members of the
National interstate Independent Tele-
phone association expressed their
sympathy with Mayor Dunne's posi-.
tion in regard to the strike in loud
cheers, accompanied by vigorous
hand clapping, at the opening of their
annual convention at the Auditorium
hotel today.
Mayor Dunno, through one of his
assistants, delivered the address OF
welcome. Directly Mr.. S. p. Sheer
in, arose to reply. He was looking
well and hearty, but before he had
spoken two minutes he gasped and
fell back in his chair. The house
physician was summoned but Mr.
Sheerin was dead.
The members of the association at
once adjourned until tomorrow.
The committee decided to cut out
all banquets and other entertain
ments, to show their regret at Mr..
Sheerin's untimely end. Engrossed
resolutions will be sent to the family
in indianapolis.
The election Of officers tomorrow
will practically wind up the annual
session. The forenoon session agreed
heartily to the announcement of the
National Interstate Telephone asso'
citation to merge with the National as
sociation. This project has been un'
der consideration for six months.

GERMANY'S SCHEME.
Chicago June 20.-A special TO the
Daily News from London says: Big
plans are taking shape for defeating
the kaiser's supposed purpose to es-
tablish German hegemony on the con-
tinent of Europe. Thus far these plans
are mainly hypothetic; but under the
pressure of events they may speed
lily assume tangiblity, The suggested
scheme springs from the general anx-
leLy as to the character and limits of
the kaiser's imperial policy and con-
templates harmonious if not definitely
allied attitudes toward the European
situation on the part of Russia, France
and England
To keep the peace would be the
whole purpose of the proposed COM
hlnation. All thought Of aggression
against Germany is absent. The
Frenchmen concerned renounce the
dream of recovering the territory lost
in 1871. The Russians agreed to re-
fraiI from menacing preparations or
Germany's eastern frontier, and the
English pledge themselves to respond
TO Germany's increase in naval strength
Only by adding correspondingly to theil
OWL power of defense at sea.

A TEXAS SHERIFF
KILLS HIS MAN
sURRENDERs AFTER SHOOTING
is OVER.
Victim was Ex-Sheriff, and the Two
Had Taken Turns in Defeating
Each Other.

Cameron, Texas, June 20.-Ex-Sher-
if Giles c. Avereitt was shot and in
stantly killed today in the corridor of
the Milan county court house by Sher-
iff r. Todd, who surrendered after the
shooting and is locked up charged with
the crime. Only one person was in the
corridor of the court building at the
time, and he fed Immediately after the
shooting began.
The two men met in the corridor.
No one, appears to have witnessed any
preliminary, and the first warning was
when one of the parties to the tragedy
opened fire. Three shots were fired by
each, and it Is not known who fired
first.
The fact that Sheriff Todd defeated
Avereitt for sheriff in November and in
turn had been defeated by Mr.. Avereitt
two years before had bearing upon
the killing, as the contest between the
two men each time was very heated.
Ex-Sheriff Avereitt was about fifty
years of age and leaves family. Sher-
if Todd is about fifty years old also
and has family. The town is in a
| fever of excitement over the affair, and
there is much partisanship Sheriff
Todd declines to make any statement

Norway and Sweden Beginning to Get

Stockholm, June 20.--It is consid-
cred significant, here that the con-
servative newspapers, which up to the
present time have declared that all
talk of conflict between Norway and
Sweden was idle gossip have sudden
ly changed their tone and are now
urging that the Swedish army and
navy be mobilized at once. They al
so print rumors current along the
frontier that the mobilization of the
Norwegian army is already in prog
ress and that troops are being massed
on the very frontier.

Washington, June 20.-Exchanges be-
tween Russia and japan regarding the
date for beginning the peace negotia-
tions and the naming of plenipotentia-
ries to conduct them will continue
through the state department and AM
bassador Meyer during the two days
absence of the President. 1t is believed
both these points will be arranged in
readiness for definite announcement
when the President returns on Friday
morning. Japan has already assured
the President that her representatives
can be here by August 1, and 1t is un-
Gerstood Russia is satisfied with that
date.
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister,
who left for Boston today, will return
Friday. The British and German am
bassadors have arranged to be here
then, and It is believed something pos
tive will be reached by that time.
An agreement has been made among
the foreign diplomats that they will
not follow the peace commissioners to
the summer resort or other place Sc
lected for the deliberations. This is
done on the plain intimation from both
Russia and Japan that there must be
no meddlng with the representatives

BROKE LONG DISTANCE RECORD
The Pennsylvania Smasher the Record
With Special Train

Philadelphia. Pa, May II.-All
records for long distance travel on
the Pennsylvania railroad were
smashed a few days ago bya special
train which brought President Cas-
ratt and party of Pennsylvania
officers from Pittsburg to this city
insix hoursand twenty-five minutes.
The distance between the two cities
is 353 miles, and the actual running
time of the train is estimated at 32o
minutes, although the time given
includes all stops made for chang
ing locomotives and other neccess-
ary delays.
Mile after mile was reeled of
at rate of less than mile minute.
AT frequent times the speed neared
ninety miles an hour. A few spurts
were made at a speed Of 100 miles
an hour. When the mountainous
part of the division was reached
near Altoona the speed was nece5s-
arily reduced, but that division
point was reached quicker than any
other train had ever made the run.
In comparing the time kept Of
the trains movements, it was dis
covered that the scheduled time oil
the Pennsylvania Limited over the
same divisions had been reduced by
two hours and thirty-hve minutes,
while thd time OF the fastest pas
senger train on the system had
been cut down by more than two
hours and fifteen minutes. The per
formances of the train was the sub
ject of much comment about the
station last night. Members of the
party declined to discuss their ex
periences on the trip, although
they indicated their great pleasure
in having made such a run.

A WORD OF WARNING TO cHIckAsHA

Farmers coming to Chickasha
are protesting against the condi-
ton along the roads leading into
our city; not about the mud and
water holes; not about the bad
bridges that every frequently have
dangerous holes, but their com
plant is the dumping rubbish Of
the most disgusting and offensive
kind along the roadside.
Farmers say that dead horses,
hogs, dogs and chickens are thrown
along the small creeks and low
places supposed to be taken there
by Chickasha parties. A farmer
friend of mine told me that he had
been to Anadarko and there had
seen men burying hogs and chick
ems and that no dead animals were
seen along the roads to that city.
Such thing is a nuisance and
has tendency to drive trade to
other towns.
l speak, that know, in going
to my farm west of the city, |
passed by dead dogs, hogs and
chickens and it has been something
that / could not explain why those
animals and fowls chase out Of
Chickasha and die to annoy me
and farmers coming to our city.
