SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
Insane Man Opens Fire at Funeral of
 Brothers Child.

Baltimore, March 23.-Brooklyn, Anne Arundel county, just across the Pa tapsco river from this city, is mortified tonight over the deeds and death of Walter Potee, an insane man twenty eight years old, who, entering his brothers house just as friends and rel atives were gathering to attend the funeral of the brothers little child, opened fire with a revolver, set fire to the house and himself died from gum shot wounds, but whether self-inficted is unknown.
 Potee entered the room and began firing so entirely unexpectedly that several persons were wounded before they could escape. The mother and sis- ter-in-law of the maniac were caught in the kitchen and held prisoners there. Potee then locked himself in the house and fired upon all who approached Nine persons were injured more or less seriously by his shots from revolvers and repeating shotgun. Of these a brother, John H. Potee, ana William H. Miller, a brother-fn-law, are likely to die.
 Potee found time between shots to sprinkle oil about the house and set fire to 1t.

SHAW WOULD NOT NAKE
 ANY CHANCE IN TARIFF
1T WOULD TEND TO ENDANGER REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
 1908.

Republican Orators Again Teaching
 DiscOntent-No Party Can Ever Re-
 wise the Tariff in safety-Only Time
 to Risk the Experiment is at an Ex-
 trnOrdinary Session Following In-
 auguration of New Administration.
 Des Moines, Ia., March 23.-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, in an address on "Republicanism" tonight, made an elaborate argument against any immediate change in tariff sched- ules because such a change would en- danger republican success in 1908. Sec retary Shaw referred to the activities of certain Iowa republicans.
 Republican orators are again teach ing discontent," he said, after referring to republican defeats of the past. "sev- eral times during the present session of congress prominent members of the op- position party have quoted 8 distin- Sulbn6u I6puDllCetu OL llllS Sleil6 co soy = ing, in effect, that all robberies and thefts committed by all insurance off cers since the life insurance business was originated do not amount to the extortion due to the Dingley bill for one year. This is but sample of what has been taught not only in this state, but in one or two other states.
 'No party can ever revise the tariff in safety, and the only time to risk the experiment is at an extraordinary ses- sion immediately following the inaugu- ration of a new administration.
 ''The reason is well-nigh self-evident Every man knows, or thinks he knows of three or four changes which are all important. Failing to get all of them he is angry; and if there be one change made which he does not approve of, he is dissatisfied. He gives no credit for preserving the general principle of pro- tection; he gives no credit for preserv- ing most of the schedules in which he is interested; he gives no credit for the few changes that are made which he thinks are necessary. As a result he goes to the polls prepared to hit some thing, and the party in power is the only thing in sight

 Judge Epaphroditus Peck of Bristol appeared for MT.

In Letter to American Federation oS Labor He Declares His Sympathy With the Law--wishes Violations Brought to His Attention and He Will Direct Proper Authority to See That They Are Remedied-T,etter Made Part of Record by Federation. Washington, March 23-Frank Nor. rlson, secretary of the American Feder- ation of Labor, to-day received the fol- lowing letter from President Roosevelt.
 March 22, 1906.
 My dear MT Morrison At our in erview yesterday I requested you fo bring to my attention any specific vio- latlons of the eight-hour law. I would like you to call my attention as soon as possible to any of these complaints and l shall at once forward them to MT Neill' of the labor bureau, and di- rect him to investigate them and report direct to me.
 Furthermore, l shall hereafter di- rect all departments having control of work as to which this law applies to notify the department of commerce and labor when the work begun, and I shaU notify tSle secretary of the department of commerce and labor whenever such notification reaches him, himself to mo- tify the head of the labor bureau. whose duty it then will be to take cog nizance of any complaint made as to violations of this law, to investigate the same and report to me.
 As you know I not only sympathize with you on the eight-hour law. but intend as g matter of course to see that that law IS efficiently enforced.
 My belief is that you will find that with Commissioner Neill personally su- pervising the enforcement of the law all just complaints will be met.

ON EVE OF LAST SITTING
LONDON OUTLOOK EXPECTS AN
 AGREEMENT ON MOROCCO.

Believes It Will be Reached NOminalIy
 Upon the Basis of the Autrian Pro-
 posaI but in Reality Through the
 Mediation of the United States
 Purposes of AnglO-French Policy De-
 feated.
 London, March 24.-Commenting on the Moroccan situation, the Outlook to- day says there is very little doubt that the Algeciras conference is on the eve of it's last sitting and that an agree ment will be reached nominally upon the basis of the Austrian proposal, but in reality through the mediation of the United States. The plan, the writer says, deprives Gernaany of victory in any dramatic form, but means never theless the defeat of all the original purposes of France and of the British policy on which the Anglo-French agreement was founded. Mixed control of the ports of Tangier and Mogador, the Outlook says, means internation- alization in its weakest form, nullifies the policy of pacific penetration, de- feats all the ends aimed at in the main clause of the Anglo-French convention, and secures Emperor Williams purpos- es. France is deprived of all real in fluence upon the interior and confined to a local role at three ports out of eight"
 tla,a xy.if foR sAN
 "The German threat of war last summer, should France continue to practice her independent and successful diplomacy, has sufficiently prevailed; and this fact reveals tthe real situation in Europe. Political equipoise on the continent has ceased to exist, and in view of the prostration of Russia, the chaos in Austria and the military inn potence in this country, there is in re- ality only one great power"
 In conclusion the article says that Germany will be the most influential power at Fez as she is at the Yildiz Kiosk; that the campaign against the entente cordiale will be continued and that Germany will endeavor to destroy that compact by offering to support France in Morocco in return for French support for the Bagdad rail- way. 'There is no Europe and there will be no Europe" the writer says, until England, France and Russia are drawn together in definite league to restrain in case of need the one power which holds the threat of war over the heads oe it's neighbors."

INSURANCE HEADS MAY
 BE HELD FOR LARCENY
OPINION OF JUDGE O'SULLTVAN RELATIVE TO CAMPAIGN
 CONTRIBUTIONS.

Differs from Jerome and Charges Jury
 to Make Thorough Investigation Into
 All the Facts--AlsO to Place Respon-
 sibiIity for Such Crimes if They Find
 That Crimes Were Committed-Not
 to Seek Shelter as am Excuse to Avoid
 an Unpleasant Duty.
 New York, March 23.-If the grand jury which is Investigating some of the conditions developed by the recent leg islative investigation find that contri- buttons of insurance company funds to political campaign committees were made with intent to deprive or defraud the true owner of his property they must find that larceny was committed. This opinion was expressed to-day by Judge O'Sullivan in the court of gen. eral sessions in answer to a present ment on the subject submitted to him by the grand jury. Judge O'Sullivan added that it is not within the prov ince of the court to say whether or not there was intent. That is question which the jurors must determine. He charged the jury to make thorough investigation into all the facts and to place the responsibility for such crimes if they find that crimes were commit ted. You are not to go seeking for shelter as an excuse to avoid an un- pleasant duty" he said. This opinion is in effect, directly opposite to one upon the same subject which was given by District Attorney Jerome several days ago.
 MT Jerome in his brief, submitted to Justice O'Sullivan, held that there was no ground for prosecution of any in- surance official in connection with the campaign contributions, taking the ground that no intent to defraud had been shown. Judge O'Sullivan agrees with the district attorney that intent must have been present to constitute the crime of larceny but declares that the question whether or not there was intent is, a question which is yet to be determined.
 Mr. Jerome was in court when Judge O'sullivan delivered his opinion and when the judge had finished the dis trict attorney asked the grand jury to remain to hear him upon the subject. He declared that Judge O'Sullivan had misconceived the subject which he had considered and that if the court held to its opinion it would be the duty of the grand jury to return indictments against George w. Perkins, former vice president of the New York Life Insur- ance company for larceny, and against George B. Cortelyou, chairman, and Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the re- publican national committee, as recelV- CTS of stolen goods. Mir. Jerome in- formed Judge Osullivan that if he would sit as a magistrate he would submit affidavits concerning the acts committed by Mir. Perkins and would ask for a warrant for his arrest. He added that if such warrant, was is- sUed a writ of halt eas corpus would follow and that the case would be talk en to the highest courts, where the dis trict attorney would retain Alton B. Parker as special counsel, Judge O'Sullivan declined to grant the war rant giving as his reason that the ques tion at issue should be passed upon by the grand jury

VIOLATING LAWS OF OHIO
Charge Brought Against n Number of
 Insurance Companies.

Columbus, O., March Exchanges have been filed with State Insurance Commissioner Vorys against the Co., lumbian National Life Insurance com pany, of Boston; the American Agency company, of New Jersey, and the Amer ican Investment Securities company, of Maine, setting forth that they are vio- lating the insurance laws of Ohio as to rebates and improper Inducements.
 The charges grew out of the investi- gation and report of Attorney General Hadley, of Missouri, which show that the companies are virtually one, the same persons being interested in them; the attorney general being of the opin- ion that the insurance company was formed for the purpose of furthering the interests of the investment compa- nies.
