Bluffeld, w. Va, March 2S.-Blood-
shed and death ended, a "social', at
the Methodist Episcopal church at Coal
dale, near here, last night. One man
was killed instantly, his wife was IA
tally wounded and several others re-

The man killed was Benjamin Cape
ly. Mrs. S. H. Harper was wounded in
the side and Henry Garden was shot in
the leg. Two other men, who fed after
the fight, were slightly wounded.
There had been i'll feeling of long
standing over the management of funds
which had been raised for the erection
of new church building.
During the evening there was clash
between adherents of the rival factions
and it is said that a blow was struck.
Instantly guns were produced and shoot
ing began. Benjamin Capely fell with
a bullet in his heart. Mrs. Harper

Chicago, March 2S.-One successful
kidnapping and another attempt that
was frustrated only by the timely ar
rival of workmen employed on an adj
Joining building have caused conster-
nation among the parents of Austin
and Oak Park. The similarity in the
methods employed in the two cases has
led to the conclusion that they were
the work Of the same person, and fear
that other children may be made vic
tins has been inspired in the suburbs.
Hazel, the 4-year-old daughter of p.
w. Powers of Austin, was Kidnapped
by stranger just after / o'clock in
the afternoon. Only short time after
ward, an attempt was made to abduct
Harold and Fred Jennissen, children
of Mrs. O.. J. Jennissen of Oak Park
In each case only one man was seen,
and he used bag of candy as a bride
to lure the children away.
Two policemen were detailed to con-
tinue the search for the child, but at
last reports she had not been found.

EYER TO DON CROWN

Vienna, March ga private tele-
gram from St. Petersburg gives the
startling information that new sue
cession law is being prepared, ow-
ing to the fact that the czarevitch is in
weak health. o.,
According to reports emanating from
quarters connected with the court, the
czarevitch is both deaf and dumb. Other
reports describe him as suffering from
microcephalus. That his mental con-
dition is such that he can never ascend
to the throne of Russia and rule is a
court secret that is just leaking out and
is startling the monarchs of Europe.
From the reports it is intimated that
the child may never live to ascend the
throne. His physical health as well as
his mental condition is said to be such
that he may not survive many months.
The reports have caused a sensation
in Russia and may affect the revolution

Turns Charge Against T."
Standard Oil Men.

New York, March 2S.-The taking of
testimony in this city in the proceed
ings brought to Dust from Missouri the
Standard Oil company OF Indiana, the
Waters Pierce Oil company and the Re-
public Oil company, on the ground that
they constitute combination In re-
straint of trade, is ended. Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri instructed
Commissioner Sanborn, before whom the
witnesses testified, to send certified
copy of the testimony to the supreme
court of Missouri, where it will become
a part of the record in the case.
Practically the last move Mr.. Hadley
made was to introduce testimony show
ing the difficulties under which most of
the witnesses who are in any way con-
nected with the Standard Oil company
were served. He put in the record the
fact that every effort had been made to
secure the testimony Of John D. Rookie
Teller, but none had succeeded. He in
troduced copies of letters written to
attorneys of the Standard Oil request
ing that officers of the company accept
service. The request applied to John
D. Rockefeller along with several
others.
During the examination of the sub.
pena-server, counsel for the defendant
companies brought out that the man had
received money from newspapers fol-
stories of his experiences in trying tc
serve some of the Standard Oil men
Counsel declared these facts were
brought out Ito show there has been g

"'The only sensationalism there has
been in this case has been the sensa

Max Palmedo, who has served all the
processes and subpenas in the action
went Oh the stand and told of some o:
the difficulties he had encountered il

Veterans like Champ Clark and other tried
