 Her husband, with his throat cut, was found unconscious on the floor of the bed room in which the body of Mrs Fish was lying.

ROOSEVELT TO HUNT
PRESIDENT WILL PROBABLY VISIT
 LOUISIANA CANEBRAKES.
He Has Been Extended Urgent Invita- ton and Has Replied that
 He is "sOreIy Tempted"

Oyster Bay. Sept. T.-President Roosevelt is considering an invitation to go on hunting trip in the Louisi- ana canebrakes immediately after his forthcoming journey down the Ms sissippi River. The gentlemen who have extended the invitation assure him that he will get some shots at bear and other worthy game. and if he can arrange his affairs at Washington SO as to go without detriment to pub lie business, he is quite likely to ac- cept.
 In case he makes the trip father south. he probably will not return to Washington until about october 70. The names of those who have invited the President to the Louisiana hunt are not announced. but It Is understood that thev are practically identical with those who entertained him on the bear hunt at Smedes. four or five years ago. On that occasion his hosts included Stueyvesent Fish. recently President of the Tlinois Central Railroad and Judae Dickinson. chief counsel of the same system; John McllhennV. at present a member of the Civil Ser vice Commission. and John w. Parker a cotton planter. ,,.
 These gentlemen were greatly dis- aDnointed because the President was unable to bag q bear at Smedes and urged him to give them another chance at some future time. He said he would be glad to try 1t again when opportunity presented itself. and as soon as the plans for his trip down the Mississippi were made public. they reminded him of his promise. They assured him that he will have better Iuck in Louisiana than he had in Ms sIssippi. and the President has stated that he is ''sorely tempted.

 Is ATTACKED Liquor Dealers Confer on Situation. POINTS OUT RADICALISM Considers Temperance Legislation in Alabama and Georgia. It Is stated That Grand Juries in Georgia Have Issued Warnings
 Against sacranental Wines
 I'm Churches.
BY J. R. HORNADY

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 7-(Special.- Recent temperance legislation In Geor- gia anl Alabama, as well as in other Southern States, was considered at length at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Protective Bureau, National Wholesale Liquor Dealers As sociation, held in this city, with mem hers present from the North, East. South and West. The meeting, which was held behind closed doors. lasted throughout the day, and at it's conclu- sion, w. N. Hobart. made the following statement in behalf of the committed:
 'Srhe situation is considerably im- proved over that of several weeks ago. The people are beginning to realize the result of their radical actions in many cases. and they are inaugurating tenn perance legislation now in more reas- enable frame of mind l mean by this that they are considering the future and acting with reason rather than with prejudice.
 Take the case of Georgia. for in- stance. The Legislature passed State prohibition law. and then turned around and passed a piece of legisla- tion which allows the organization of clubs. Todays' papers contain inform ation that the grand Juries in Georgia have issued warnings that the use of sacramental wines by churches will be considered as violations of the law and prosecutions will follow, using this as a basis of an appeal to the Legislature for relief Doubtless whatever relief Legislation is afforded will all but com pleteIy change the State prohibition law as 1t stands today.
 And there are a number of other in- stances which I could cite, which show reason should come first in considera- tlon of such restrictive measures
 A recent speech delivered by Henry watterson, the distinguished Kentucky editor, is being used by the Executive Committee In it's efforts to counteract the temperance movement.
