BULLETS FIRED AT
A WEDDING FEAST
Brides Aunt, Who Was Not In.
vited, Shoots at Newly
Married Couple.

Racine, Wis, July ga pretty
church wedding in this city yesterday
nearly eliminated in a tragedy at mid
night last night. Annie Miller became
the wife of George Kamm and recep-
ton followed at the home of the brides
parents. The big mixed choir of which
the bridegroom was member went out
In bus to serenade the pair.
Mrs. Henry Miller, an aunt of the
bride, was not invited to the wedding.
While the evening festivities were GO
ing ON and the choir was singing a sa-
cred selection there was the crack of
revolver. Instantly the members of the
choir scattered. and the whole wedding
party lodged behind trees, barns and
other buildings, the bride and bride
groom taking shelter in the house.
It was said that Mrs. Miller, who
lived near, had shot at the bride and
bridegroom. The bride all but tainted
and her mother was in Mysteries. Five
or six other shots followed.
The father of the bride went to the
home of Mrs. Miller to demonstrate.
The woman and her friends said they
were celebrating and fred shots in the
air. She jumped at Mr.. Miller, and be-
fore four men had succeeded in sub
DUNG her Mr.. Miller's clothing had
been torn off and his face was bleeding.

Can Roosevelt Refuse.

A reader of T h Journal raises
the question today whether President
Roosevelt may not be compelled to &C.
cept a reelection. He cites legal au-;
thorities to show that a citizen may, be
compelled to serve the state not only by
bearing arms or by summons Of a sher-
if, to aid in making arrests and quell-
ing riots, but in the discharge Of the
duties Of civil office. There are ex-
ceptions, as he notes, where one elected
to two offices may choose which one he
will accept, but election to a state Of
fee and federal office at the same
time would not constitute condition
under which the choice might be. exer-
cised. In other words, Mr.. Roosevelt
could not refuse to be president, if he
were elected, by at the same time get
ting himself elected town supervisor.
It is, of course, unlikely that such
measures Of last resort would be ap-
pealed to to induce Mr.. Roosevelt to
serve another term at this time, but it
suggests how popular he is with the
people and how highly his services are
valued. Not since the time Of Wash
ington, and not even then, has there
been so much discussion of the desira-
bility Of continuing in the office of
president a man who has already filed
two terms.

Mayor Johnson's Progress.

The street railways situation in
Cleveland, Ohio, is clearing. The exist
ing companies have recently come for
ward with an offer Of seven tickets for
a quarter and universal transfers in ex-
change for renewal, of. their fran
chises. Mayor johnson feels encour-
aged as he considers the offer. not an
ultimatum. but basis Of negotiation.
He has commended for Scent fare for
years, but his program has made little
progress until recently, when he sue
ceeded in putting in operation few
Scent lines and secured court decisions
favorable to their extension as exist
ing franchises in the streets expire: The
fear Of these stub-end lines finally
reaching the center of the city by legal
prescription appears to have stirred the
companies to action. They are willing
now to negotiate on basis which they
have persistently commended was i'm
possible, thereby admitting that their
previous position was mistaken one
or that they have been battling for a
scent fare when they were conscious Of
their ability to perform the service and
remunerate capital at much lower
rate. s+. = 81 4....-... .tr. y ',t
The significance Of this admission is
not local. It is national. It is indie
alive of a fall in streetcar rates wher-
ever the people have the whip hand Of
the corporations, and public officials
who will stand by them. "a
The growth of trolley travel is some
thing no one but the streetcar people
have an accurate gage to measure. The
men on the inside Of these corporations
not only know the present rate, but
they have accurate figures showing the
probable percentage Of increase ow-
| ing not only to the rush Of people to
the cities, but to the developing use Of
the trolley by the present population.
Besides they have control of the fig
ures Of expense which enables them to
make a plausible showing for the higher
fare. This is seen in the Cleveland
case where the companies, after hav-
ing almost convincingly shown the ne
cessity Of Scent fare, have put for.

ADJUSTMENTS
MISUNDERSTANDING Cowboy and the
Lady," ..-

Metropoiltan--"The Cowboy and the
Lady" T..
'"'The Cowboy and the Lady" may not be
a true picture OF the west, except as a
dramatist secs it., but the play as pro-
(duced by the Ferris stock company is one
! of the best offerings OF the summer sea-
| son. The play has all the earmarks Of
t the Clyde Fitch .comedies-dialog that
scintillates, situations that 5.startle' or
amuse by the novelty, oand. characters
drawn with sharp unerring lines. When
added to this is an exceptionally happy
cast, it is hardly to be wondered at that
the audience last night laughed its way
| thru the rich, typically American hunor.
| Dick Ferris repeated''a former notable
| success in: the part Of Teddy North, the
dude Cowboy who out-cowboys the
cowboys when the real test comes, and
yet never forgets that he is a gentleman
born and bred The story is favorite
Eone-Teddy North, upon graduating from
college, decides to go west and grow UP
with the country. He buys a ranch and
speedily finds himself surrounded by cow
tboys, Indians, westernized fasteners and
the flotsarn and jetsam of all new coun-
tries, each and every one playing him for
"tenderfoot." There is villain of
course, and it is his wife with whom
North falls in love. He keeps his love
| to himself, not only because he Is TOO
much of gentleman to make love to an
other mans wife, but also because he be-
lieves she despises his tenderfoot ways.
When the villain, Weston, is found muir
dered, North jumps at the conclusion that
Mrs. Weston has killed him In revenge
for the injuries he has heaped upon her,
and to save her from arrest, North con-
fesses that he committed the murder. He
| is tried and convicted, and only at the
last moment does the real culprit con-
TESS, when all misunderstanding are
4 made clear.
While the play is mainly comedy, 1t
would not be a real Fitch play without a
touch of tragedy, and to Florence Stone,
as, Mrs. Weston, fell the dramatic mo
ments of the play. The scene with Wes-
4 ton (W. H, Murdock) where the anger OF
the wronged wife blazes up at white heat
was powerfully acted. The honors of the
play of course went to Mr.. Ferris ano

The Douma Dissolved.

\ The car finally screwed his courage
to the sticking point of dissolving the
douma. But was it his own courage?
Rumors say the kaiser had hand in
the final decision, but rumor is always
busy with tho kaiser. He is like the
active child of the family who is al
ways, first thought Of in connection
with disappearance of jam or an acct
dent to the cat. Whenever anything
happens in Europe. Asia or Africa from
an uprising Of fellaheen in Egypt to
an attack upon railroad train cross
ing Persia the diplomats of Europe fly
to the conclusion that the kaiser put
up the job to bring about international
complications from which he might
profit.
Yet there are similarities between the
Russian and German situations which
may have induced the kaiser to back
the reactionary party Of Russia. The
whole fight between the douma and the
emperor was for a ministry responsible
to the parliament. Might not the fact
that the German ministry is responsible
to the crown and not to the people sug-
gest to the kaiser the ACCESSIBILITY Of
discouraging a move for people s min
istry in the next empire9
The Russian battle was not between
a particular douma and certain emperor,
but between systems. The car with his
farcical fundamental laws which are
entirely the creation Of his own fancy
and dependent upon his will for their
execution, sought to buttress the throne
against the rising tide of democracy
He has won a temporary victory, but
one which cannot effect settlement
Of the questions between himself and
his people. At best he has but relieved
the douma from the task Of finding
land for the peasants and taken it upon
himself. He and his advisers must
solve this question or they in their
turn will be dissolved by the people
as the douma has been swept out of ex-
istence by the imperial ukase.
There is claptrap in the czar's proc
lamation about law. and order which will
deceive no one so long as the bureau
Gratis are the most lawless people in
Russia, SO long as arbitrary arrest and
summary punishment without trial are
the fate of all who oppose the reac-
tionary policy. The plan Of terrorism
by troops will very likely be met with
the terrorism Of the bomb.

No Fat Frying in This.

Running a great national campaign
on popular subscriptions Of 81 each is
a new feature Of national politics, but
the disclosures with regard to large po-
litical contributions from the insurance
companies and the demonstration to the
great corporations that political con-
tributions will not secure political pref
erence has created the necessity of rely
ing upon popular enthusiasm and party
loyalty to finance the work Of carrying
on the next. congressional campaign.
Mr.. Sherman, chairman of the repub-
lican national congressional committee,
has sent out circular letter to news
papers asking them to print a notice
to republicans informing members of
the party how anxious the committee
is to have every republican in close
touch and working in harmony with the
congressional committee in favor of a
republican congress. The record of the
party and Theodore Roosevelt IS person
ality are the considerations put forward
as those upon which success must be
achieved If at all, and these are to be
regarded as the central thought in the
campaign. ~
But in order that the necessary ma.
chinery may be operated, it is neces.
sary to have some money, and repub.
icans are urged to contribute 81 each
with the personal consideration that to
each subscriber of that amount will be
sent the republican national campaign
textbook and all documents issued by
the committee. The committee has
headquarters jim New York. ~
This, of course, is the right way to
conduct campaign, and the appeal
from the committee ought to meet with
general response by those who desire
to see republican congress elected this
fall. 1t 8 the right way to do this sort
Of financing. Put it up to the people
If they don't want republican con.
gress, lot them say so, not only by their
ballots but by withholding the funds
necessary to carry on a legitimate cam
paign. And when the result is accom-.
plished, the general public will be en-:
titled to take peculiar credit to itself
for having had active part in the
achievement.
It may be safely assumed, no doubt
that subscriptions need not be limited
to 81. -
