street station house is lying at his home,
200 East 10th street. to-day suffering from
q stab wound in the back under the right
shoulder and several scalp wound But
the young policeman, who has been on the
force only a year, proved his mettle last
night by fighting his way through a mob
and bringing a prisoner whom he had
arrested TO the station house.
Kelly was patrolling Front street when at
the corner OF Gouverneur Slip a man dashed
out Of a saloon with a big beer glass in his
hand and Owed into Kelly, sending him
almost to the middle OF the street. The
policeman demonstrated with the man, who
promptly began 10 call him names and
threatened to hurl the glass through his
head.
Then Kelly got angry. The man who had
dived out OF the saloon gave him a battle,
but in a few minutes he was on his way to
the police station. Then the friends Of the
prisoner began TO swarm out of the saloon
where the arrest was mad Kelly was at
tackled from behind, thrown to the pave
ment and kicked numerically. AS he went
dow a keen bladed knife entered his body
beneath the right shoulder.
Kelly's cries brought Policeman O'Keefe
from his post on Clinton street. The sight
OF the second blueooat sent the moi scpirry-
ing for safety and when O'Keefe arrived all
he found was Kelly struggling on the ground
with his prisoner, who was doing his best

HEARST MORAN'S ONLY no Pc.
Staying in the Massachusetts Race to Save
Organization in 1905

Boston, Oct. lO.-John B. Moran has de-
cided to withdraw as Democratic candidate
for Governor, but he may change his mind
within t~wonty-four hour if William r.
Hearst appeals to him TO stay in the fight
and will fuSpish the sinews of war.
This is understood to be the real inside OF
the situation in the Moran camp this after
noon.
The Moran demonstration last night, in
which he threatened to withdraw after re-
turning from a long conference with the
Coakleys in New York, nov takes On the APP
pearance Of another Coakley-Moran cam
paign joke.
Moran's only reason for staying in the
field now, after his declaration against
Bryan. is to preserve the Hearst interests
for 1903. IL he ~withdraws il leaves the
whole situation in the hands of George
Fred Williams and he Bryan men.
Having now declared against Bryan he
must accept the antagonism of Bryan sup
porters at the polls, and success is hopeless.
If he stays in, backed by Hearst, he may he
able to overshadow Williams and hold con-
troll of the organization IN the interests Of
Hearst for 1905.
1t is said that the Coakleys felt that since
Hearst was the only one To be benefited by
the move he is the gentleman who should
foot the bills.

STICKNEY ON RATE SCHEDULES.
He Says . Simple Method OF Filing Them
Is Desirable to the Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-A. B. Stickney OF
St. Paul, president Of the Chicago Great
Western Railway, to-day presented his
views as to the method of filing rate sched-
ules before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. All tariffs, he said, should be 30
simple that any shipper could tell the rate
for himself without having to rely wholly on
the word Of, a freight agent.
For ~legalreasons also he thought a simple
method Of filing was desirable to the rail-
roads. He likewise urged a uniform classih-
cation OF rates throughout the United States.
He believed in republishing rate schedules
whenever any change in the rate was made.
His object in advocating this proposition,
he said, was to do away with the multi
plicity of changes that are now a burden
to both the railroads and the shippers.
At the afternoon session Chairman Knapp
suggested hat the railroads select a small
committee of experts who were representa-
tive OF all the varying TRAFFIC conditions in
different parts of the country to confer
further with the commission in regard to
the filing of rate schedules. h railroad
committees present at the hearing agreed
to this proposition and assured the COM
mission that the names of these experts
would be sent in by next Wednesday. The
commission then took up the matter of
export grain rates, and several witnesses
testified.
An informal complaint has been filed
with the commission alleging that the Jim
Crow cars in the State of Tennessee are
not equal to the standard of the ordinary
cars. The complaint was contained In a
letter from a correspondent at Chattanooga,
Tenn. who requested the commission to
test the law in relation to this discrimina-
ton and ascertain whether under the recent
act of Congress such a condition should be-
to exist.

could not initiate a suit on such Informal

that he file a formal complaint, together

which startled the children. The teacher
made no answer. Without further words
Smith drew a revolver from his pocket
and fired two shots, both bullets entering
Miss Shepard's head.
The children ran from the room as the
murderer leaped out and disappeared in a

They ran to nearby houses and gave the
alarm. News Of the crime spread rapidly.
and in a short time a posse OF thirty or forty
men had collected.
Sheriff Mulhern and the Cleveland police
had been notified, and deputies and police
were at once sent to South Euclid. Through
the woods the posse and police tramped,
but could find no trace of the fugitive. The
posse travelled as far south as the Chagrin
Falls road and then learned that Smith had
taken a suburban car there on his way to his
home in Warrensville
The pursuers boarded a car and, reaching
just az they were about TO enter the yard

Chanler Sick Abed.
William r. Hearst will start at 1915
o'clock this morning from Hoboken on a
ten days speaking tour through the southern
tier Of counties. Two private cars, one for
Mr.. and Mrs. Hearst, their son and ~servantsi
and the other for the newspaper reporters.
will be hitched to a Lackawanna fast train.
Mr.. Hearst will speak tonight at Corning,
in the Corning City Hall. It was an
nounoed at the Gilsey House yesterday
that a band wouldn't be taken along after
all. Mr.. Hearst deciding to take a chance
on rural music makers. Miss Kathryn
Miley. a young woman who sings new
campaign songs, and John Nestor, q pro-
fessional singer, will constitute the vaude-
vile attachment this trip.
1t has been decided by Mr.. Hearst's
managers that he shall make as few cart
tail" speeches as possible in order to ave
his voice for the big meetings straight
through the campaign. The original in
tention was for Mr.. Hearst to make five
minute talks at small towns along the line.
The trip will last ten days, ending with a
speech in Schenectady the night OF Satur-
day, October 20. Mr.. Hearst will get back
here next day for a few hours rest before
appearing at a big ratification meeting
in Madison Square Garden.
On the coming trip Mr.. Hearst plans
to pay more attention to the regular Demo-
cratic organizations, and will speak under
their auspices whenever possible: A strong
protest went into the Gilsey House after
the first tour because Mr.. Hearst seemed
to favor Independence League upstate
organizations altogether, to the neglect
and embarrassment OF Democrats.
Mr.. Hearst made no speeches yesterday.
1t was planned to nave him address meet
ings in Mount Vernon and Yonkers, but
the candidate hadn't recovered entirely
from his cold. Yesterday afternoon he
talked into a photograph again n also
conferred with Independence League
leaders.
1t is doubtful if Lewis S~tuyvesant Chanler,
candidate for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will
be able to take an active part in the am
paign for a week or ten days. He is in

sisted treatment. "He will be up and out

appeared for Kelly.
Four witnesses were sworn for the Govern
ment. The first to testify was Patrolman

His testimony revealed that no blows
were struck but that he was merely tripped
up and that he received the broken nose
and other injuries by falling headlonR
against a bench.
Officers Grace and FRAZIER identified
Kelly as the man who tripped the latter.
Kelly, in defence, said that he and Rooa-
welt were on the Common looking for Mere
dith Blagden. They saw Officer FRAZIER
in citizens clothes, seated on a bench and
approaching they asked: Are you Mere
dith2- They quickly discovered their mis-
take and passed on to the next bench.
where they found Blagden seated, and
commenced 'fooling' with him. FRAZIER
and Grace came running toward them aud
made the impression, az Kelly said. that
they were crooks who wanted the price.
Kelly stepped between the officers and az
the same time gave FRAZIER a push, and
with him fell to the ground.
Young Roosevelt was a witness for Kelly.
His testimony was exactly the same "A

had any idea that the men who were chasing
them were officers. Judge Wentworth
