SAME OLD STORY
''DID NOT KNOW THE GUN WAS
LOADED"
Several Pedestrians and Bystanders
Struck BY Accidental Discharge
OF Gun.

Several pedestrians near Fourth
and Broadway were peppered with
small bird shot last evening about
6:30 O'Clock. The matter was acciden
tai, but caused a smarting to several
residents, and the attention of a doc
tor in one instance.
Mr.. Charles Wheeler, of Wickliffe,
Ky, who had been calling on friends
in the Brook Hill building. held the
gun which was accidentally discharg-
ed. 1t was the same old story, he
didn't know il was loaded" but for
tunately the accident proved trivial.
Wheeler was testing the gun by
working the pump" the weapon be-
ing a repeater. Suddenly 1t exploded
and Mr.. John Theobold, the butcher,
who was standing near the Connie
Lee boot black parlors, on South
Fourth street, grabbed his ankles.
Bob Jones, a one-legged boot black,
grabbed his leg; Cambo Hannah, an
other colored boot black, grabbed his
wrist and head and there was lively
dancing and a frantic pulling up of
trouser legs for some few minutes.
Mr.. Theobold found that few of
the shot grazed him, not any pene-
trating. Jones found that several had
entered his leg and the Hannah boy
got one or two in the forehead and
several in the wrist. The latter boy
secured the services of a doctor Mr..
Mark Brizzalara was also grazed by
several shot.
Wheeler was quick to come to
their relief and stated he did not
know the weapon was loaded. 1t had
been in bad repair and he was pump
ing it to see that it worked smoothly.

THE DECLATORY IMMUNITY
nIT Il =

Close on the vigorous message of
the president directing attention to
the imperative need of a declaratory
act on the immunity question, bills
have been introduced in senate and
house which are designed to meet
the need, says the Chicago Record
Herald, the senate measure and one
presented in the house by Mr.. Mar
tin follow the draft prepared by the
attorney general, while a bill intro
dueed in the house by Nj. Littiefieid
changes somewhat the phraseology
of the draft of the department of
justice, and during the progress of
the bills in the respective houses fur
ther verbal changes may. of course,
suggest themselves. But the object
is clear, and the essential quality to
be impaired to the proposed act is
absolute plainness or definiteness.
Persons who give testimony ln'pro-
ceedings authorized by law are enti-
tied to immunity. but the general be-
subpoenaed and give testimony un-
der oath are witnesses" within the
legal meaning of the term, and that
the word ''evidence" has likewise a
certain restricted meaning. Judge
Humphrey having given the immuni-
ty statutes totally different and un-
expected construction, the declarato-
ry bills guard against future miscon-
ception and misinterpretation of the
intent of congress by providing that
immunity shall be extended only to
the natural person who. as a witness
under oath. testifies at proceeding
held under the law or produces doc
umentary evidence under like conse-
quences.
The phrase natural person" is
used, of course, to exclude corpora
tions. which are regarded by the law
as artificial persons. from the bene-
fits of the immunity clause. The prop
riety of such exclusion seems to have
been established By the decision of
the supreme court in the tobacco
trust case. 1t was held in that suit
that corporation, being the creature
of the state. has no right to refuse
to submit its books and papers for
an examination at the suit of the
state" and no claim to general i'm
munity.
The other clauses of the proposed
act will abolish the citizens 'immu-
nifty bath" and the threatened nulii-
fication of the antitrust, interstate
commerce and corporate publicity
laws.

AN APPEAL FOR jim HOWARD'S FAMILY

they can't sleep. How many people

MISSION TO CLOSE
TOM ORROW'S SERVICES TO CON-
CLUDE THE INTERESTING
SERIES.
Rev. Father Lambert a Capable Lee.
turer and One of National
Reputation.

The mission that has been conduct
ed all the week at the st. Francis de
Sales church by the Reverend Faith
ers Lambert and Murphy of Chicago,
will close tomorrow night. There will
be no service this evening.
There have been four services a
day and the church has been crowded
especially at the night hour, and the
sermons have been of a high order.
Father Lambert has a national repu-
tation and is the priest who so ably
answered Robert Ingersoll. He is a
man of learning and eloquenee and
breaches with a dramatic effect that
holds the attention throughout. His
sermons are largely instructive to
the congregation, and each evening
questions on church polity and faith
have been answered from the ques-
ton box in use during the mission.
Father Murphy is a younger man
than his colleague, but is a brilliant
and thoughtful preacher. Both are
among the most notable of the Je-
suists in this country.
An elevated movable pulpit, such
as are often seen in the larger cit
les. has been in use during the mis-
ion. and it gives the congregation a
great advantage in seeing the preach
er during his sermon.

Lava, pronounced "lay-va," is the
latest new vegetable. 1t is a marine
legume, found on the rocks in the
Scottish coast and is served hot with
roast mutton. The London Mail says:
ITO the palate lava brings a subtle
commingling of pleasant salinity as
of marinated fish, and delicate hint
of subacid of lime or lemon-a lin
gering bonne bouche that produces a
desire for further acquaintance" "
Lava is evidently luscious, according
