DR.. Chancellor was looking well
and unconcen9d when a Times re-
porter called upon him this after
noon, and had little to say about his
mysterious absence from the city.

Escape Cut Off, Shoots
Himself.

LENDHURST, n. J.. Sept. 2.-Chief Of
Police Cassidy was shot dead early to-
day by three Italian burglars who were
surprised In an effort to break into a
store. One Of the burglars when trapped
on Avondale bridge by a posse, shot
himself I'm the head. and the posse Is
still IN hot pursuit Of the other two.
Cassidy was popular, and If the two
fugitives are oyertaken 1t is probable
that they will be lynched.
Passing a grocery store Cassidy saw
the men working at a window. He called
to them, and they see upon him. Shots
were exchanged. and Cassidy fell dead.
Many persons attracted by the firing
save chase TO the burglars, the thieves
firing as they ran.
Near the Avondale bridge they sepa-
arated. one starting across the bridge.
When half way, a man appeared with a
revolver at the otber end and ordered
him to throw up his hands. He saw
there was no means OF escape and WITH
out hesitation. placed his revolver at
hls head and sent a bullet into his
brain. Physicians who examined him
say the man can not possibly live.
The posses divided and continued the
chase. Great excitement prevails and
demands for quick justice are DCms
made.

George W. Bowers. who is said TO have
been momentariIy crazed yesterday from
the effects Of gas administered in the
Washington Dental Pariors and who en-
Gaged In a free for all night with Drs-
Nunder and Leonard and several as
sistants, lies in a precarious condition
at the Emergency Hospital today from
the effects of a blow administered by
Dr. Wunder, who struck the frantic man
upon the head with hammer 90 subdue
him.
DR.. Wunder is now at liberty under a
81 COO bond, which he furnished az the
Sixth street station. The ARRAY Is SAID
to have been due to Bow ers' imaeiuz.
while under the influence of the anstucuc
that his wife was being iusulted and
that he must defend her.
1t is stated at the Emergency that
Bowers is resting fairly well, but his
injuries. consisting OF a fractured
skull. are admitted to be quite serious.
and even in event Of recovery il is
not thought that he can leave the hos
pitaI for some days.
Fancied Harm to His Wife.
Accounts differ somewhat as to the
struggle which took place in the
dental parlors, but all are agreed that
the fight was most desperate, the
dentists alleging that the combined ef-
forts Of four men were rot sufficient
to stop the enraged man. While under
the effects Of the gas Bowers is said
to have suddenly become imbued with
the idea that some one was endeavor-
ing to assault his wife, who was with
him, and sprang from the operating
chair.
Bowers is an electrical engineer, hav-
Ing in charge a large force Of meE

the tooth that was giving the most
trouble and TO leave the other two He
asked the dentist also If there was any
danger in the gas and was reassured
that there was no danger whatever and
was told not to be uneasy.
DIR. Leonard Is also in error in stat
ing that ne gave my husband no more
than the usual quantity. as he admins
tered IL twice and then told me IL was
impossible to get him completely TO
sleep, and he proceeded to extract the
tooth anyway. No sooner was the tooth
out than my husband screamed at the
top of his voice and threw himself
completely out of the chair. I told the
doctor TO let him remain quiet but he
persisted in pulling him back into the
chair, in the meantime taking the cork
from his mouth. My husband then
became apparently semi-conscious. and
began to rave and strike at everything.
He and Dr. Leonard began to struggle.

HE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Whether the United States is to remain federal republic or becom' centralized despotism ruled by GD 'utocrat is a question likely to re ceiye much attention in the senate, which has resumed it's sessions after the holiday recess.
 It is the paramount issue by which President Roosevelt, in his December messages, and Secretary Root, In his address before the Pennsylvania SO ciety of New York, have started right thinking and patriotic men in all parts of the country, says the Republic.
 The matter is now before the sen ate in two forms-the states rights resolutions introduced by the two Maryland senators just before the re cess, and the Foraker resolution for investigation by the committee on military affairs of the presidents dis missal without warrant of law batal. lion of the negro infantry regiment. It seems certain that the senate will order the investigation, but, it is hoped, not without thorough debate of the whole matter of the powers of the executive in the light of the con. stitution, the laws and the precedents made and observed by former presi dents from Washington and Jefferson antil now.
 The presidents views of the consti tuition and of the relations existing under 1t between tho federal and the state government are so revoIutionary and so different from those advanced i by any public man since Alexander Hamilton admitted he was not in har. mony with the American system that reafHrmation Of the old principles is due from congress. Since nothing in this line is to be expected from the house. as at present organized. it is doubly the duty of the senate to act
 The fact that Foraker's resolution was introduced only as a play in dem agogue politics will not justify any senator in debating Ir. or voting on IL ] in a factional or partisan way. The exact limitations defining the rights and powers of a president of the Unit ed States in the execution of his oath of office should be brought out clearly

INCOME TAX IDEA IS GROWING

The New York Times in it's issue of December 22 printed a report of the proceedings of the committee of fifteen appointed at the last session of the legislature, to examine into the present New York state taxation laws. These extracts are taken from the Times report: Several bills have been prepared for introduction, and the basic idea in each is a tax on in- comes, graduated in such a way that the burden will fall heaviest on the individual with the large income de- rived from great wealth. either inhe-- ited op acquired, and lightest upon the wage earner The general opinion among the committeeman when the present laws had been thoroughly ex- amined was that it was hardy fair that the expenses of government should be borne equally, by the poor man and the rich, according to the amount of real and personal proper ty each held. The committee there fore, although composed mainly of re- publicans. adopted to a certain ex- tent in preparing it's bills. It is be- lieved that voluminous data in sup port of the new theory of taxation will be presented when the committee makes it's final report"

THE ANTEeAMRLINe BILL.

Concerning the proposed anti-gam bling legfslah ,n in Arizona the Tue son Star sayS:
 Tt is pleasing to note that the anti sambling agitation throughout the tsr ritory is at last promising results The legislature which will soon con vene will take 1t up soon after it be gins business. During the past years many promises have been made to the effect than an anti-gambling bill would be enacted by the Arizona legislature but all failed to come to full fruition Bills have been introduced, but al ways choked oil in the committee, and seldom were heard of again after be. ing referred.
 Now congress Is in good temper to enact such a law. It will probably wait long enough to see If the Arizona legislature means business. and if it fails to act promptly, we vii have a federal anti-gambling bill, which will prohibit this vice In all of the terri tories of the United States and the coming legislature must not deceive itself in believing that it can postpone the enactment of this law until con. gress adiomns, and then fail to enact the law, because two such schemes have been played and the third will fail of results
Bisbee daily review., 1907-01-09
MORNING

i'd the debate. Any member. demo crat or republican. who doubts the presidents power under the law to dismiss enlisted men of the army or navy without trial should vote for the resolution to investigate. The inquiry by the committee should deal with the law and the precedents rather than with the fact of this particular case.
 Though no date has been set for de bate of the resolutions introduced by Senators whyte and Rsyner, 1t is ex- pected that the senate will not ad- joura without making them the occa- sion for a strong declaration reaffirm- ing the principles of the constitution as they have hitherto been accepted by all schools of constitutional con struction.
 The fundamental principles in yolved in the three resolutions now before the senate are so vital to the continuance of free popular govern mentin this country. It Is the solemn duty of every senator to deal with them solely from the standpoint of the law and the liberties of the American people.
