Drunken Man Runs Amuek.

San Diego, Cal, May 16.-Armed
with rifle, revolver and dirk, each OF
which he used with deadly dexterity,
a madman ran amuck in this city yes
terday, killing two men, boy and
woman, wounding two other persons,
and finally blowing off the top of his
own head and dying within few min
utes. Three of the victims lived in the
same house with the slayer. The fourth
person whom he killed and the two
who were wounded resided half mile
away, and 1t was in their house that
the maniac took his own life.
The man who enacted this ghastly
tragedy was w. p. Robinson, about
forty years of age, of powerful build
and some education. The precise causes
which led him to wholesale murder
may never be ascertained. 1t is known,
however, that he was a heavy drinker.
that he was intensely interested in the
Nihilist movement in Russia and that
against two or three of his victims he
fancied that he had some petty griev-
ance. On the other hand, he is said to
have been ordinarily a good-natured
man and inclined to be generous-one
of the last persons likely to take life.
The general supposition is that drink
and brooding over Nihilism brought on
an attack of homscidal mania.

WORLD MAY COMPETE.
Canal Commission Will Buy Ships in
Open Market.

Washington, May 1.-THE executive
committee of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission has decided to purchase in
the markets of the world the material
and ships necessary for the building
of the Panama canal
This important decision was reached
with some reluctance, because it was
appreciated by Secretary Taft and the
executive committee that there would
surely be great outcry from two
great interests in this country, the
producers of material and the ship
owners, If the purchases were not linn
tied to the American products. But 1t
was decided that the money consid-
Grafton was SO great that it could not
be ignored, for it was held that in
some cases fully fifty per cent. more
would be charged for material needed
in canal construction than the same
goods could be produced for in Europe.
Chief Engineer Wallace, for in
stance, showed that two ships in addi-
tion to the ones running between New
York and Colon and owned by the
Panama railroad, were absolutely nee
essary to carry the food supply and
material. needed for the work. No
American ship could be bought at any
reasonable price, and when it came to
building such ships it was found, ac-
cording to Secretary Taft's statement,
that while he can buy two 2,6OO-ton
ships in Europe for s750,000, it would
cost $1,40O,0OO to build such ships
here. And, in addition, while the Eu-
ropean ship could be had at once, it
would take at least eighteen months
to secure American boats.
AS to material needed for canal CON
struction, the committee decided that
by reserving to itself the right to pur-
chase in the worlds markets, it would
at least oblige American manufacture
ers to give them the benefit of their
foreign prices if they wish to sell
goods to the committee.
Secretary Taft explained that he
felt obliged to endorse this decision
because, having given Congress every
opportunity to give contrary decision,
he felt that the very terms of the ca
nal act provided that 1t should be con-
structed at the lowest possible cost.

PAINFUL SC|AT|cA
EVERY SUFFERER WANTS THE VERY
QUICKEST CURE.
hr. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used BY

Mr. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used by
Him with Such Remarkable Success
tho Best-Cured by Five Boxes.
"Men who have to do difficult and
dangerous work on electric lines at any
hour of day or night, can t afford to have
anything the matter with their health"
said Mr.. Donovan. You can imagine,
therefore, how much was alarmed one
winters day in 1909, when was seized
by pain just behind my right hip that
1t was SO bad by the time reached tho
house that was obliged to go straight
to bed"
Did that relieve your"
No, the pain grew more severe and
kept extending downward along my leg.
4. I sent for a physician, and he soon de-
cided that had sciatica. In few days
the whole nerve was affected, and the
least movement brought on terrible
agony"
Ibid your condition improve under
the DOCTORS treatment?"
"Quite the contrary. At ths end Of
two months 1 WASH t bit better, and at
times 1 feared that would never be
able to leave my bed"
How did you get out again ?"
"When was lying in bed, unable to
move and wasting away in flesh, a friend
visited me and told me about the won
derful cures brought about by a great
blood and nerve remedy, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He strongly urged me to try
them, and luckily he'd sense enough to
take his advice"
Did you mend quickly ?''
"Yes, that was the astonishing thing.
I noticed slight improvement before
had quite finished the first box of the
pills, could get out of bed while I was
on the third box, and 1 was entirely
cured by the time had taken five boxes. u
Mr., Joseph A. Donovan is living at
Plaistow, New Hampshire, and is line
inspector for the Haverhill, Newton and
Plaistow Electric Street Railway. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the remedy to
use when the blood is thin, as i'll an@mia;
or impure, as in rheumatism; or when
the nerves are weak, as in neuralgia; OF
lifeless, as in partial paralysis; or when
the body as a whole is ill-nourished, as
in general debility. They are sold by
all druggists.

GIRLS CAUSE TROUBLE
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD REsIea
Disagreement In Regard to Colorado
Industrial School for Girls-Ex-

Disagreement in Regard to Colorado
Industrial School for GirIs-Ex-
pected Change of Management.
Denver, May 16-Following is the
Republicans version Of the Industrial
School difficulties:
All of the five members Of the board
of control of the State Industrial
School for Girls have resigned, not
just three of them as stated yesterday.
The designations have been in the
hands of the governor for the last
week and he Will appoint a new board
to reorganize the work at that institu-
tion.
The members of the present board
are Mrs. Martha Taft, Mrs. ]. B. Hun
ter, Mrs. Harriet G. R. Wright, Rob
ert M. Colder, all of this city, and DR..
Josephine Peavy of Colorado Springs.
The dissolution of the board Is the re-
suit of abolishing corporal punishment,
as stated yesterday, and the trouble
has been brewing for some time. Mrs.
Taft, Mr.. Colder and DR.. Peavey are
a majority of the board and they are
opposed to inflicting corporal punish
ment. Miss Emma Page is the super
intendent and she is a disciple of Solo
mon, whose wisdom was interpreted
by the Indiana pedagogue when he
said: mo lickin', no learnin'." The
minority of the board, composed OF
Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. Wright, sides
with the matron.
Starting with this disagreement, the
trouble grew until, it is said. one mem
ber at least went around peddling
scandalous tales about other members
The majority have been ready to ro-
sign for some time, and have an en-.
tirely new head. but it has been i'm.
possible to bulge the minority. Gov.
ernor Mcdonald was able to use some
sort of hypnotic influence and finally
secured the designations.
Since corporal punishment has been
abolished, it is alleged, there has been
lax discipline at the institution, as well
as numerous escapes, and it Is charged
by the majority that the matron takes
that way of demonstrating that the
place cannot be properly conducted
without plenty of whipping.
The law requires that there be three
women on the board, and how Gov
ernor Mcdonald will make it up is @
problem. 1t has been suggested that
he name a board which will agree tc
! put the management of the schoo
| practically under the direction of DR.
Paddleford, the superintendent of the
boys school at Golden. DR.. Paddle
ford has made such a fine record II

working under his supervision would

ters-Regret Harsh Tone of Criti-
cisms-Do not PaIliate Wrong.
New Haven, Conn, May 17.-In a
letter acknowledging the receipt from
the committee of protesting ministers
Oh documents bearing on the recent ac-
ceptance of the Rockefeller donation
to the American Board of Commission
ers OF Foreign Missions, the pastors of
congregational churches in New Ha-
ven, with the exception of Rev. A. ].
Haynes of the United Church, have
jointly given expression to their views
in the matter.
The pastors in their letter say that
while reluctant to express their views,
some extraordinary statements of the
protestants call for an aswer. They
deplore any unnecessary and harsh
criticisms of missionary societies.
The letter says: I'VE notice with
regret the following words: The
courts can be bought. the legislatures
can be bought, the churches can be
bought, but the American people
cannot be bought Such unqualified
words under other circumstances
might be passed by without serious no.
tice, but when addressed by num-
Der OIL congregational ministers to
their brethren, they cannot be left IN
challenged. This statement, so sweep
ing in its condemnation OF legislatures.
SO calumnious of the judiciary, SO un-
| just to our churches. we would repu-
diate as untrue in fact and socially de-
structiye in its effect.
I'VE desire also expressly to dis
avow the assumption that by the ac-
ceptance of such donations, or by the
use of any mans gift of that which is
lawfully his own, the trustees of a
charity enter into AN alliance with
him in his business, become 'yoke-fel-
lows with him in wrong practices, or
in any way compromise themselves
with questionable methods of corpora
tions.
I'VE wish decisively to deny your as
sumptions that, while sustaining the
actions of the American board, we are
not free as We have always been in
our pulpits to rebuke any wrongs that
may be exposed in our economic sys-
| tenn.
I'VE in turn must protest when you
insist that because of our customs or
principles concerning charitable con-
tributions, we are not in sympathy
with the working people, and that our
ministry has become the silenced wit
ness of any threatening social injus-
tice. You have no reasonable or moral
right to so judge u.s."

Many women long for a child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism. curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expeetant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.

such cases.
