MURDER AT DULUTH
Police Arrest Two Men at su-

Long Chase. 2srz &
Special to The Journal.

Duluth, Mimi, March 5.-H. Tolvovio
was shot and instantly killed at West
Duluth yesterday, and Matt Vromer and
Matt Ivankovitch have been arrested.
An air of mystery surrounds the TRACE
dy, which the police are now trying to
solve,
Ivankovitch, who is blonde giant,
came here from Chicago with his COM
Ipanion about two weeks ago. The vic
tim was an employee Of the Great
Northern Power company. The three
had been playing cards and drinking
in Doyle's saloon, and were elected by
the bartender, A. L. Brewer, for bois-
ferrous talk. The men had quarreled
over cards and the shooting occurred
outside the saloon. Ivankovitch con-
fded to one person that he had come
from Chicago in search of his wife. He
gan and Wisconsin for her and came
here for that purpose.
Whether IvankOvitch shot Tolovic
because of anger over cards or whether
there was some previous and. deeper
grudge is not known at present. The
men conversed in Austrian just before
the murder, and Brewer, the bartender,
could not understand them 1t is con-
sidered likely that Tolovic knew some
lining v! AsdnhoNAGcu . VILE, ana IoI
reasons best known to himself had de-
clned to reveal her whereabouts.
Eight dollars was found on him, but
no revolver. Ivankovitch and Vraner
are both charged with murder on the
police blotter, and each charges the
other with the crime. Ivankovitch de-
MED that he had revolver at any time.
Brewer, however; declares that he saw
this man do the shooting.
Tolovic was shot in the back while
leaving the Enclosure at the rear Of the
saloon ahead Of the alleged murderer.

GETTING READY TO
AID, TAME SPORT
Columbia, Home Of Athletic Re-
form, Is to Have a
Playground.

s + ; + *
New York, March ga spacious and SPLEEN
didly equipped athletic field, costing 81 o00O 900,
Is proposed for Columbia university in plans
hled with President Butler by the committee
ne appointed some time ago to take the mat
ter up No ground near the university being
available, 1t Is proposed to make the ground by
filling ~ the shallow shore waters of the Hud-
son river as far out as the pier head line,
between ne-hundred-sixteenth and One hundred
twentieth streets.
The consent of the city being necessary to the
plan, It is proposed to secure this If possible
by combining public Fairgrounds with the ath-
leflc Held and to furnish facilities for the
sports of the public school athletic league. 1t
Is also proposed to erect ornamental water
gate. The stands surrounding the field would
be designed of steel and concrete.
With this field Columbia university would be
able to inaugurate Its purposed policy in regard
to athletics by doing away with all charges for
gate money and by inviting the representatives
OF other institutions or those of the army and
navy for instance, to use the grounds the
un1versitys guests, tickets of admission being
distributed to the alumni and students instead
OF being offered for public sale.
The committee in charge of the undertaking
consists of George L. Rives. William Barclay
Parsons and Daniel Leroy Dresser, all alumni
of Columbia.

HIDING OIL KING
FLAYED J. BY JUDGE i

Asks Gaynor of
Brooklyn.
RI 50 lain xofCf Ii

New York, March 5.-Supreme Court
Justice William J. qaynor Of Brooklyn,
speaking on corporate abuses at the
People 8 Forum III New Rochelle, scath-
ingly denounced the man who hides
away rather than 60 into court to tes-
tify:
: Attic the judge mentioned no names,
there were many in the audience who
construed the language as referring to
John D. Rockefeller, for whom many
process servers have been hunting for
weeks.
Judge Gaynor, after speaking Of the
bribery Of legislators and government
officials by the exploiters Of public
franchises and Of their contempt and
disrespect for both the government and
the courts, said:
What would decent man here in
this community do if he heard an Off
Ger was looking for him to subpoena him
to court to testifyq Would he hide in
his house and have his wife and chill
dren and servants lie and say they did
not know where he was9 Would. he

Dishonest, Dishonorable.

And if ne lied or sneaked away,
would he not be condemned by the com
munity as dishonest, dishonorable and
disrespeetable9 Would anyone offer
him his hand on his return? And if a
man with an overgrown fortune made
out of the abuse of public franchises
does that, is he a decent member Of
society," Is he it to mingle with hon
est people9 No, he is all the more con-
temptible and guilty.
No amount of church or Sunday
school teaching can make a character
decent or respectable. He is no better
than Hamilton, the insurance lobbyist,
who ran off to France to escape exam
ination before a legislative committee.
These people have been crying out
anarchist and the like against decent
people, but [ say unto you that they are
the anarchists and will destroy our sys-
tenn of government if they are not
checked in their careers.
There is no prejudice against hon
estly acquired wealth in this country.
1t is against wealth acquired by trick
and device, by the favoritism Of laws,
by the misuse Of public franchise which
is under the ban of honest people.
