CHAS. E. KINCAID DEAD
DEMISE RECALLS A TRAGEDY AT
THE U. S. CAPITOL.

Word has been received here of the death
| in the City Hospital. Cincinnati, Ohio, of
Charles E. Kincaid. formerly United States
consular agent at Lancaster, England, and
at one time Washington correspondent for
New York, San Francisco and Louisville
| newspapers.
Mr.. Kincaid, who had many friends In
Washington, held many state and national
offices, and earned an enviable reputation
In newspaper work At the time of his
death he was employed on the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Mr.. Kincaid's death recalls with vividness
the tragedy of the winter of 1890. during
| the session of the Fifty-ninth Congress,
when Kincaid, then correspondent for the
Louisville Times, shot Representative Taul
bee of the tenth congressional district of
Kentucky.
Taulbee, with a companion was walking
down the east steps of the House side of
the Capitol leading to the restaurant when
Kincaid, who was standing at the bottom
Of the steps. fired a shot. Taulbee stag
gered and fell with blood squirting from his
face. The corridor was well filled at the
time. and a crowd. attracted by the shot,
soon gathered around the wounded man.

He was taken into the room of the House

fingered for Two Months.
After an examination 1t was given out
that his wound was apparently not dan
gerous one, but after lingering for nearly
two months, he died March II, 1890.
Kincaid did not leave the spot after the
shooting, but stood over Taulbee, exclaim-
ing in a nervous, excitabe manner that he
had done the shooting. Capitol policeman
heard him make the assertion, took him by
the arm and placed him under arrest. He
was taken to the sixth precinct police sta
ton. He was released a bond of 5000
and was at liberty until Taubee's death,
when he was Immediately rearrested.
His trial was an exciting one, sentiment
as to the justice of his act being about
equally divided. He was finally acquitted on
a plea Of self-defense.
The shooting grew out OF the publication
in the Louisville Times. by Kincaid, year
or eighteen months previous to the tragedy,
of notorious scandal, affecting the char
acter of Representative Taulbee. From the
time of the publication until the shooting, 1t
is said, Taulbee baited Kincaid at every OPP
portunty. insulting him in public. threaten
ing to do him bodily HARM and hurting vile
epithets at him whenever he came within
speaking distance.

fully built and a typical Kentucky noun

shrewd men have seen tremendous power for
themselves If they would play the workinSmen of
this country by appeals to join the Labor Trust
and by controlling the supply Qinting appren-
tices) and stopping the industries they could thus
absolutely govern the common people and force
them to obey any order of the trust managers.
The plan includes domination of the common
members of the trust TALL labor union mem and
bread from the mouths of the family.
The danger is in placing too much power in the
hands Of the trust managers. They seek to control
and dictate to the U. s. govt. the peoples
govt and safeguard.
Therefore when any political candidate an
nounces himself a representative Of any trust,
sentative Of the Labor Trust or any other trust
but is known to be a tool Of that trust. there is
only one safe plan for the independent man who
seeks to preserve bis personal liberty and that is
vote AGAINST him.
Vote only for the man who honestly intends to
represent the interests Of all the people, not of
class against another.
The people feel that this is antitrust period
when the citizen must protect himself at the polls.
Therefore demand Of candidates that they agree
to stand for the peoples interests, that Of the
masses, and opposed to any measure which gives
mower to some organizations to rule the balance
of the citizens.
The Labor Trust has gone Into politics to elect
tools to enact anti-injunction law to prevent
the courts from protecting the independent COM
mon citizens from assault and destruction Of their
homes or property by members Of the Labor Trust

It's almost funny and almost tragic.

It's almost funny and almost tragic.
Anyway, it's interesting.
The people have been lawmaking to protect
themselves from lot of hungry Capital trusts
and are just fairly getting in safe shape when
along comes a huge Labor Trust wanting to fattcn
of the common folk.
The Express Co.'S and some R. R. Cos. kept
their advocates in the U. s. Senate for years.
The people finally awoke.
These men can stay at home now and work for
their class interests but no more under the mask
Of public representatives.
Agents Of special interests elected by those in
terests must serve their masters and when q con-
dict arises will vote against the people at large

When you read that you thought It referred to

don't apply to the Labor Trust.
modern trust either of Capital or Labor is a
combination Of men to control the production and
sale Of thing and to force extra money from the
common people to fatten the trust members.
Apply that to any Capital Trust, then apply 1t
to the Labor Trust.
THE Labor Trust has labor to sell. The public ID
the buyer. inasmuch 1t has to pay for all labor
that is put into any article and also for the ma
terial. A loaf of bread costs much for -four and
SO much labor. Increase the cost Of either and
the people must pay the excess. The Flour Trust
will naturally raise the price high 1t can
and the Labor Trust do the same. Both trusts are
fed by the public.
Both trusts fight for power over the public and
are only held in check BY the people at large.
Hence the safety Of the common people is to pre-
vent any representative Of trust being elected
to public ednes.

TO THE HIGHEST COURT
AUTO OWNERS APPEAL THE
GLEN ECHO CASE.

Attorneys Leckie, Fulton & Cox and w.
S. Duvall, counsel for the Automobile Pro-
tectfve Association of Washington, have de-
termined to carry to the court OF appeals
of Maryland the case Of Col. M. A. Winter,
who was arrested by the town marshal of
Glen Echo for alleged violations Of the
speed law and the Maryland license law of
1905. Mr.. Leckie Of counsel told Star
reporter today that nothing definite was
decided at the meeting yesterday of the
committee appointed by the association
Col. NJ. A. Winter, Robert B. Caverly. P. T.
Hall and w. s. Duvall-beyond the determi-
nation to take the cases to the highest tri-
bunal. A number Of new features, he said,
have been brought to the attention Of the
coQimittee which are now being investi-
gated. The result Of the Investigations may
have something to do with shaping the
legal policy to be followed in the conduct
of the cases.
The ruling Of Mayor Garrett of Glen
Echo, holding Col. Winter guilty, and i'm
posing a fine of $50 Mr.. Leckie declared
was by consent of counsel. in order that
the question of law might be determined by
the circuit court of Montgomery county on
appeal.
The three points of law to be made In
this case are, first, that the municipality Of
Glen Echo has no power to pass an ord
nance interfering with the use of the Con-
duit road, as shown by its charter; second,
the town marshal has no jurisdiction over
the road and, third, the state of Maryland
has no jurisdiction over the Conduit road
as it is government reservation and un-
der decisions of the Attorneys General and
United States Supreme Court the govern
ment has exclusive Jurisdiction.
In reference to the case brought against
Col Winter for failure to display regis
tered number on the front" of his machine,
as required by the license law of 1906, Mr..
Leckie said they would rely on the point
Of law that Col. Winter had secured
his license under the act of 1904, which re-
quired only number to be displayed on
the rear of the motor vehicle, he was not
amenable to the requirements of the new
act.
One of the provisions of the new act with
which Mr.. Leckie said automobilists gen.
orally are not familiar Is section 8, which
provides: "All licenses to operate motor
vehicles in Maryland, heretofore issued by
the secretary of state, shall remain in force
and effect and shall not be in any wise af-
fected by the provisions of this act"
