TRAGEDY AT MARIETTA

Marietta, Ohio, June 29.-One of the
bloodiest tragedies ever enacted in the
Muskingum valley occurred in this
city today and has caused profound
sensation, owing to the prominence of
the principals in the bloody affair
Early this morning Edgar Uhl,- Sr.,
aged 55, proprietor of the Uhl House
and saloon, on Ohio street, near Sec
ond street, was murdered by his son,
Edgar, Jr., aged 20 years. The young
man emptied the contents of double
barrelled shotgun, loaded with buck
shot, into his fathers head. One side
of the head was blown completely off
son locked the body of his father in an
upper room of the family residence and
then walked to the Office of the county
sheriff and gave himself up. Sheriff
Best was not in his Office, and the
young murderer calmly awaited his re-
turn, remaining about three hours be-
fore he disclosed the crime
The murder occurred between z and
8 o'clock this morning and was not
disclosed until 1880 o'clock The po-
lice and county officials, investigating
found the body in the fathers sleeping
room on the second floor. Mrs. Uhl,
Sr., was seen and stated that last night
her husband kicked and abused her
mercilessly and threatened to kill her.
She told her son of the abuse. and
the young man took up her cause.
Early this morning he sent his moth
er away from home, and Immediately
assaulted his father, with the above re-
suit Mrs. Uhl seemed unconcerned
when told of the tragedy, seemingly
mindful only of the fact that she was
free from further abuse. The son, In
jail, refuses to make any statement
concerning the affair. Edgar Uhl, Sr.,
has been a resident of Marietta for
many years and was quite wealthy. He
was member of the I. o. o. F. and
of the Marietta Eagles. Edgar. Jr., Is
also well known in business circles and
has heretofore borne good reputa-

RUSSIAN GUNNERS

st. Petersburg, June 30-2:25 a. m.
The bloody events that have trans
pired at Odessa, Libau, Sebastopol.
Lodz and Warsaw have revealed such
a state of disaffection in the Russian
army and navy that it is doubted here
If the gunners on any warship OF
the Black Sea fleet Will fire on the
Potemkin. Should they mutiny and
Join the rioters it is likely that large
sections of the garrisons in all of the
ports of the Black Sea and OF the
Baltic sea will rise up against the
government upon hearing the news.
The news received here has opened
the eyes of those who heretofore pro-
fessed to believe that the disturb
ances were only local in character
and would be easily put down. 1t is
admitted on all sides that the Roman
off dynasty faces a crisis that may
topple over the throne. The damage
at Odessa up to the present time is
estimated at twelve and one-half mil
lion dollars and only the absence OF
wind saved half of the city from be
ing burned in Wednesday nights fire.
The German and Austrian consuls
at Odessa have sent requests to their
home government to send warships to
Odessa to protect their interests.

MUTINEERS
Demand and Receive Privilege to
Bury Dead Comrade.


Odessa, June 20 (via st. Petersburg,
June 30).-Late this afternoon dele
cation from the battleship Potemkine
waited on the governor general and
told him that they intended to bury
the body of the sailor, Omelchug, the
man whose killing precipitated the md
tiny on the battleship, with full mill
tary honors tonight. For that purpose
half Of the crew of the battleship, with
the band. are to come on shore. The
governor general was notified that If
the procession is interfered with the
sailors on board the battleship will i'm
mediately open fire on the town with
their 12-inch guns.
The mutineers were notified that the
procession will be permitted to go its
way unmolested, and the port admiral
offered to go on board the Potemkine
as hostage that the agreement will
be kept. No reply has yet been re-
ceiyed to this latter offer.

ROOSEVELT At
SYCAMORE HILL
FAMILY REUNION AT PRESl.
DENTS SUMNER HOME.
The Banker; the Baker, Likewise Un
dertaker, the Sheriff and Grocer
Also Were There.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 29.-Presi-
dent Roosayelt was the central figure
in a happy family reunion at Saga
more Hill this evening. Practically
all the Roosevelts within reach, in
cluding the families of w. Emlen
Roosevelt, Mrs. j West Roosevelt.
Mrs. James A. Roosevelt and L. Reeve
Ai':,itt. were here.
All of the presidents children were
also there with the exception of Miss
Alice, who is at Washington. Miss
Alice Is to accompany Secretary Taft's
party to the Philippines and has said
good bye to her father and mother
fer tfe summer. .s
The homecoming of the president
this afternoon, was, of course the big
gest event of the year for Oyster. Bay,
all his old neghbors were there, and
all Of them and all of their children
waved large or small American flags
until they were lame of arm and
cheered until they were hoarsc of
throat.
There was Banker Griffin, Under.
taker Blum, Editor Cheney, Baker
Hill, Sheriff Johnson, Grocer Moore
Liveryman Bennett, Druggist Snou-
der, and all of the rest of the good
people of the town at the Seawan-
haka dock when the swift launch
from the Sylph glided to its tether in
the slip just below the railroad sta
tion.
The dock, the station and all the
houses for half a mile around were
decorated with flags and bunting, but
the brass band and the anvil chorus
were missing. 1t is said that Secre-
tary Loeb made special request that
they be erased from the program for
upon last years welcome there were
two brass bands and when they both
valiantly attempted to play "Hot
Time" Garry owen" or some other
of the presidents favorite airs, at the
same time, the result was not all that
Damrosch could have asked for. SO
today's demonstration was limited to
the healthy cheers of the president S
neighbors, the waving of banners, and
the turning out of the biggest crowd
that ever greeted the president on his
return.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Ethel and Quentin
were at the station with the family
carriage to take the president to Sag.
amore Hill, when he got in from the
yacht, but he stopped long enough,
after kissing the children and giving
his wife hearty handshalSe, to back
up against one of the station posts
and pump handle his old friends for
few minutes, and to tell how much
pleased he was to get back home
Then he jumped into the wagon, wav-
ed his hat and his hand, and was
homeward bound sure enough.
The mere fact that the president
has come for good long rest will
not prevent him from taking Just as
active part in the peace negotia
tions between Russia and Japan In
the future as he has in the past. He
Is keeping In close touch with the
state department. and Is just as fam
iliar with every step In the progress
OF the great international game as
though he were In Washington.

CENSORSHIP
Of Russian Authorities Prevents
Transmission of News.

st. Petersburg. June 30-The auth
critics are enforcing a strict internal
censorship and practically no news of
the happenings in Odessa is obtain
able. Even official communications
from the foreign consuls there have
been refused transmission over the
telegraph lines.
II is reported, and generally believ-
ed that the sailors at all Of the Rus.
sian ports on the Baltic sea have re.
volted, and are now in arms against
the government. Serious disturbances
are said to have begun at Kronstadt
where 1t Is rumored the rioters burn
ed the government storehouses and
alcohol depots, and have erected bar
ricades in nearly all of the streets.
MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED.
At Odessa the military is reported
to be in control and are using much
guns against the mob. The casual
ties are estimated at from 800 to 1000
killed, and 1900 wounded.
Only the most strenuous effort on
the part ofth troops to prevent the
burning of every building in the city
of Odessa. A mob of 10000 desperate
incendiaries, bearing tow torches
soaked in petroleum, time and again
tried to set fire to buildings in the
resident section of the city. Neither
public nor private structures were
safe and 1t was only by the free use
of their machine guns that the auth.
critics managed to drive the infuriat-
ed rioters back towards the water
front.
SAILORS HUNTING CossACKs.
Sailors of the PotemKin, who came
ashore to join in the fight, have re-.
peatedly asked for the exact situation
OF the Cossack barracks on the land.
ward side of the city and it is expect,
ed that an attempt will be made to de.
stroy it by shells from the battleship.
Admiral Kruger, with his four war
ships from Sevastopol, was expected
to reach Odessa some time during
Thursday night His orders are to
summon the Potemkin to surrender.
II she refuses, he is to sink her and
then assist in the restoration of or

Fighting still goes on In the streets
OF Liabu. Following the revolt of the
garrison on Wednesday night the sol
diers wrecked the barracks and sack
ed storehouses and private dwellings.
Cossacks were brought In from the
outlying districts and fierce fighting
followed, but no details are obtain
able because of the censorship.

SQUADRON STARTS

Fears.

"A dispatch from Sevastopol this
morning announced that squadron of
battleships, the Tri Sviatitelia, Sinope
and Rostislav, with cruiser and sew

Odessa at o'clock last evening.
This explains the non-appearance of
the squadron at Odessa, but it is diff
cult to conjecture the reasons for de-
laying departure two days at such a
critical juncture.
1t is believed that the officers feared
to trust their crews.

Governor Wright Answers QuestIou of Secretary raft

Governor Wright Answers Questions of Secretary Taft.
 Washington, Jan. 21.-Secretary Taft has received @ cable message from Governor Wright of Manila answering certain questions regarding the tobac- co industry of the Philippines The Governor says that the exports of to- bacco during the fiscal year ended June 30 last were 19,044,29O pounds; that 20 per cent. of the exports were for Vrap- pers valued at 30 cents (gold), a pound and the remaining 80 per cent. for hu- ings and smoking tobacco. The price of filings is 10 cents a pound and of smoking tobacco 2 1-2 cents. Of the total exports 13.20o.0oO pounds went to European countries having a tobacco monopoly.
 Governor Wright says the exports of wrapper tobacco is decreasing because of local demand diminished production. and that the tendency of the natives is to produce poorer grades which are chiefly absorbed by the local and span ish markets. The report of the ColIec- tor of Customs shows that the exporta- ton of cigars during the past two years was 42 per cent. less than on previoi,s years and that local exporters have largely lost Oriental markets on ac- count of competing cheaper tobacco from other Oriental countries.
