Selling firewater to an Indian was the
form of the excise law violation that Michael
McCaughy. a bartender in the saloon of
Felix McGirr at Thirty-third street and
Seventh avenue, was called upon to answer
in the West Side court yesterday.
We'll, well. this is a novelty that's de-
lightful," said Magistrate Cornell. But
il this man here the INDIAN"
No, your honor, that's only a Tammany
Indian" suggested Clerk Dyer, who had
drawn up a complaint. Detective Curran,
unaware whether his Indian was a Sioux,
n Cherokee or a Thompson Seton Indian,
was made to depose that he knew enough
of the races Of human kind TO determine
with unerring accuracy that Harry White

Big Buck Whiteblanket, a husky member
of the Thirty-fourth street tribe of the

by some Indian there who described him
self as "Redtop, chief of police of the tribe v
that Whiteblanket was going 10 get his for

Curran said he saw signs of an imminent
war dance and thought his safety was
threatened. He left.

BACK FROM VISIT TO TIBET.
Father McGinicuddy OF Worcester Toured
Country with EnEIish Offcers.

WORCESTER. Mass, Dec. 25.-The Rev.
Daniel F. McGillicuddy, pastor of St.
Stephens Catholic Church, has just returned
from a tour of the world, which included a
fourteen day journey into Tibet.
The trip was made with three English
officers, Sir Donald McDonal, Capt. Stockty,
his aide, and Capt. Hill, who we're making
a tour Of the country TO collect the Tibetan
tribute TO the English. Father McGilli-
cuddy was allowed to travel with the Off
GERS az far as Gyantse. one of the g~arrisons
In Tibet visited by the English officers.
The priest sa "a there were persons al the
Sikkim border who have been there for
years waiting an opportunity 20 reach the
interior. One woman, a Scot, has lived in
Sikkim for eleven years. hoping 10 get the
permission of the English to enter the
country. The natives offered no bar to the
progress of the party.
We found the natives practically cowed. 4"
said Father McGillicuddy. They stand
between the devil and the deep sea. On
one side is a fear Of the Chinese and on the
other a greater fear Of the English. The
result is that a white man may go through
without molestation.

BULLET FOR WIFE AND SELF.
Electrician Kills Himself After shooting
His WiTe-She VIII Recover.

After q quarrel with his wife over family
affairs John j. O'Rourke, an electrician,
shortly before midnight of Monday drew
a revolver from his pocket and fired
two shots at her. One of the bullets struck
her in the temple and the other in the right
forearm. She had thrown up her arm APP
parently to guard her face, after her hus-
hand fired the first shot. She fell to the
floor unconscious, and O'Rourke, thinking
he had killed her, turned the weapon on
himself and sent a bullet crashing into his
brain. He fell lead beside her.
The noise of the shooting attracted the
attention Of neighbors, and when some
Of them ventured to enter the house they
found both lying on the floor of the sitting
room. A doctor who examined O'Rourke
said he was dead, and then set to work to
restore Mrs. O'Rourke to consciousness.
After working over the woman for about
an hour he finally brought her to. She was
then sent to ST. Mary's Hospital. There it
was discovered that her condition was not
serious. Unless complications set in she
will recover. She has not yet been able to
give a statement of what occurred.
The O'Rourkes lived in a two story Queen
Anne cottage at 70 bennington avenue.

Neighbors say that quarrels bet ween them
have been frequent, but never violent.
Thew we're married about two years ago ,
but had no children. He was looked upon
as a prosperous electrician. He had an
Office on the first floor of mis- house. Be-
cause Of the Guarrels bet ween the couple.
il is said, Mrs. O'Rourke's brother, Henry
Maier, who lived with his wife on the TOP
floor ofthe house, moved out about a month
ago. Since then the couple have lived alone
in the house.
About five days ego Mrs. O'Rourke
caused the arrest of her husband and he
was arraigned before Magistrate Healy
az Far Rocka way on a charge of assault.
The wife, however, relented when the case
was called, and instead Of pressing the
charge against her husband she legged
the Mag istrate TO let him go. The Magis-
trate, however, refused TO do so and he set
a hearing in the matter for next Friday.
The police say that the couple must have
had a good time last night before the
fatal quarrel. On the table in the dinin3
room were the remains Of a supper. There
were several empty wine bottles, indicating
that the pair we're evidently en- loving a
late meal when the quarrel arose.
Policeman William j. Roberts OF the
Richmond Hill station, who lives next
door 20 the O'Rourkes, was the first person
to enter the house after the shooting.

special Cable Dcspuches to 1HE SUN.
BELGRADE, Dec. 25.-The bill authorizing
a loan, which the Skupstchina passed a few
days ago, has led to- angry public feeling,
which not only threatens a ministerial
crisis, always a more or less explosive oc-
currpnce in Servia, but points also to the
contamination of the long predicted anti
dynastic outbreak.
There was n noisy demonstration on
Sunday outside the Kings palace. Cheers
were repeatedly given for a republic. The
police charged with swords and the gem
darmes used their reVolvers. wounding a
student.
The crowd scattered. but gathered again
and went to the university. where a student
made a fiery speech. He declared that in
King Alexander's time the police were not
allowed to attack students. He added that
the struggle won Id continue.
There was another noisy demonstration
outside the Skupstchina on Monday. The
Government has now conceded the appoint
ment of q commission to investigate the
loan question. hut the popular unrest con-
tinues.
LONDON, Dec. 26.-Mail advices received
by tho Standard from Belgrade explain
Why nothing concerning the loan debates
in the Skupstchina reached the outside
world. II had become known that Deputy
Katics. a Socialist, Intended to attack the
King in connection with the loan. The pal
ace thereupon appealed to Premier Pasics

hill was passed. Two thousand dollars
was handed over to compensate the news
papers and the men for their losses.
VI. Katics made his threatened attack,
declaring. among other things, that the
onlv part Of the loan which would remain
in Servia would % $500 600, which would
he in King Peters pocket. This did not
90 beyond the House, as the strike was
somplete, not even the official publications
appearing.
The loan bill was forced through by a
narrow majority and now awaits the Kings
approval. Much depends on his action.
If he refuses to sanction the measure and
dissolves the Skupstchina he will make a
dangerous enemy Of Premier Pasics. who
will Immediately raise in Parliament the
question Of the fitness of the Crown Prince
TO succeed to the throne. He would thus
let loose the a~nti-dynastic forces with I'M
forseeable consequences.
II. on the other hand, the King approves
the loan. four-ffths of the population will
believe NJ. Katics's assertion. Even If the
King should be able TO SHOW the falsity
of the charge the pains taken to hush up
the debate will not improve the aspect OF
af airs.
Notwithstanding the repeated officia
contradictions, there il undoubtedly a
widespread desire among politicians, the
army and the populace to see King Peter
dethroned.

NEW FORK LIFE CASE OUTLAWED
WITH THIS MONTH.

Jerome TO Resume His Insurance mvesti-
cation To-day. but Most OF the Evil
dence VIII BE Documentary Forgery
In the Third Degree the charge.
The Grand Jury investigation Of the
management Of the New York Life Insur-
snce Company will be continued to-day
when District Attorney Jerome returns
from Lakevjlle, Conn. 1t il expected
that about one more session will be needed
TO finish up the particular phase Of the
New York Life management which the
Grand Jury has been inquiring ~into-stock
deals with other companies. If any in
dictments are found they will be fled with
Recorder Goff either tomorrow or Friday.
The indictments, IL any, will he for forgery
in the third degree.
There is one interesting feature of the
present investigation. which doesn't wind
Nip the full investigation of the company.
II is known that unless indictments are
lied by this Grand Jury no other Grand
Jury will ever have an opportunity, as the
statute Of limitations covering the par
ticular class Of transactions viii have eN-
pired. IL is said that these transactions
either had their inception before 1901 or
we're completed that year. and the statute
of limitations is five years.
IL is said that Mr.. Jerome has called
practically all the witnesses of importance.
All that il needed to do now is 10 present
formal proof in the shape of documents
and books 10 show the methods used in
certain transactions.
The investigation has been a very
thorough one. A number OF witnesses
have been examined, including George
W. Perkins, who was vice-pTesident of the
company; Edmund u. Randolph. treasurer;
+. II. Shipman, assistant auditor; NJ. NJ.
MattiSon, a bOokkeeper in the treasurer's
department; Alexander Webb. JT.. who
was secretary of the New FORK Security
and Trust Company, a subsidiary of the
New York Life; Woodbury. Langdon and
6. A. Morrison, both of whom were mem
bers of the finance committee.
From the Offices that these men held
in the company it is pretty plain that the
investigation has covered all lines. All
the evidence has been along the line of
tending TO prove Justification of books
in order to conceal the true import of GER
tain transactions. In order TO have in
dictmenfs against men high in the affairs
OF the company il will be necessary TO
prove that they had know ledge Of the en-
tries that were made and gave orders con-
corning them.

DETROIT, Dec. 25.-After much corre-
spondence with the National Accident
Society of New York, Insurance Com
missioner Garry has decided that the COM
pany is not carrying out its contracts with
its members and has referred all the papers
TO the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, with the request
that he notify the company to cease doing
business in Michigan.
The order came about through the efforts
of Charles b.. Cowell Of Detroit TO collect
a SIC claim on account of an accident. The
insurance company refused 10 pay, and
Cowell put the claim in the hands Of an
attorney, who correspondent with the home
Office, but failed 10 get the claim allowed.
The company claims 10 have no agent in
Michigan. although a man receives scores
Of premiums and give a receipt for them
which is worded 20 a. not 10 bind the COM
PAW to a contract, but simply states that:

This leaves the pc licyholder uninsured
while the money IL in transit 10 New York

refusal Of his premium. Secretary BarnuIn
OF the National Accident society admits
they have no Michigan agent, but If Cowell
can produce a receipt signed by the secre-
fsry showing that the premium had been
paid he will be glad 20 honor any claim.
