SHOT WIFE AND DAUGHTER.
r. T. Gravatt Then Killed Himself.
The others Nav Recover.

'ASBURY PARK, n. j., August 3O.-Pre-
sumably because of matrimonial troubles
Robert T. Gravatt fired three bullets into
his wife's body yesterday afternoon,
wounded his nine-year-old daughter Mollie
and then fired the remaining bullet in his
own mouth and fell dead. 1t is believed
Mrs. Gravatt and the little girl will re-
cover
The troubles OF the Gravatts are said to
have begun several months ago As they
progressed seemingly with no chance Of a
reconciliation. Mrs. Gravatt sought to
force her husband into an agreement to
separate. This he refused TO do. and for
some time he had appeared to be worry
ing much about the affair.
Gravatt went to the Beculaire, a little
boarding house (which his wife conducted
in Ocean Grove He asked her to go with
him into another room. She refused to do
so. Thereupon, with no word of warning,
Gravatt drew a revolver from his hip
pocket and began firing.
Mrs Gravatt tried to flee, but her hus-
band pursued her, firing rapidly. One bu,-
let entered her hip. The other two pene-
trated her leg. The daughter shouted to
her father not to hurt her mother and ran
forward to protect her. bullet entered
her leg.
Gravatt, without leaving the room. then
placed the muZZle of the revolver to his
mouth and pulled the trigger. He fell
back dead.
A letter found in Gravatt's pocket after
the shooting read: Il will not shoot to kill
her. God bless my children

bag above him, and he prepared Tor the

earthward rapidly. AS 1t neared the earth
the canvas fell about the body of the
aeronaut and prevented him from seeing
where he was falling.
The balloonist struck in a understanding
position on the top of a big cedar post,
used by a farmer to mark off his field.
His back was terribly torn and his left
arm badly injured.
A long line Of automobiles headed by
one carrying Gov. Curtis Guild, visitor

his hotel in Barnstable Center. Physi-
clans say that he Is not internally injured

CAUSE OF PEACE ADVANCED
BENEFIT THAT WILL COME FROM
THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Representative Bartholdt Says That a
Permanent Court Of Arbitration
Will Be Established.

Representative Bartholdt of Missouri,
after spending nearly month at The
Hague. has returned to this country and is
in Washington today. Mr.. Bartholdt Is OF
opinion that when The Hague conference
is ended the American delegates will have
added to the American prestige by having
advocated the most practicable plans be-
fore the conference for enhancing the
peace of the world.
In discussing the subject Mr.. Bartholdt
said:
America came to the front at the start,
supported by Germany, and our delegates
have remained at the front Of the stage
ever since. Choate proposed the penodicity
of The Hague conferences. Porter cham
pioned the abolition Of force in the col
lection of debts, except where a govern
ment refuses to submit to a decree by ar
bitration. The Americans unanimously
brought forth the project of a permanent
international court, with seventeen judges
treaty, which refers great number of
specified questions to obligatory arbitra-
ton. These propositions cover the whole
interparlamentary plan.
1.-The conference is now rapidly ap-
preaching adjournment. Little Of it's real
work has come to the knowledge Of the
people because the delegates are practical
ly pledged to secrecy, but 1t would be a
most grievous error to conclude from this
that its labors would not be Of most bene-
At to mankind or fail to materially ad
vance the cause Of peace by lessening the
possibility Of war. The following will
almost certainly be embodied In the law
Of nations as result of the conference:
Results Of the Conference.
First future councils Of nations like
the present one at The Hague will be pro-
vided for, and bureau will be established
at Hollands capital to which the powers
will send their propositions. This will
make each conference autonomous and
free it from the prepondering influence Of
any one power, Of which there is now
much complaint, because Russia has not
only prepared the programs. but or
ganized the conference. 1t will also OBJ
viate the necessity Of its being convened
by any one ruler.
Second, The Hague court will be estab-
lished on more permanent foundation
by the operation of the American PROPOSE
ton to have seventeen judges. This will
make the high tribunal a part Of the
worlds recognized judicial machinery and
insure the absolute independence and inn
partially Of the judges.
Third, a general arbitration treaty will
be agreed upon, narrow in scope for the
present. but a good beginning.
themselves knows what their instructions
were. but from their attitude at The
Hague it is plain that President Roosevelt
and Secretary, Root are making good the
promises they made at the New York
peace congress in April last. - Amerf-
cans we shall emerge from The Hague
with increased prestige"

Directors Get Out.

1t became known yesterday that not only
Robert Walton Goelet. but also Charles A.
Peabody and Walther Luttgen left the
board meeting at about the time Mr.. Hara
han indiscreetly attacked Mr.. Fish's verac-
ity. They had business at another board
meeting. it was explained, and also had no
desire TO remain as witnesses of the hos
tilitieS.
Mr.. Fish's statement, it was said on the
authority of one of the Hartman directors,
contained much more than a charge that
the road was being conducted in the inter-
est of the Hartman lines rather than in
that of the Illinois Central stockholders.
Among these other charges are accusations
affecting the financial management of the
company in other ways.
CHICAGO. August 30.-President Hara-

place at a meeting of the board Of directors
held yesterday. These published reports
do not state the facts. q
Fish No Friend Of His
My duty and my honor will not allow
me to discuss matters of occurrence consid-
cred or taking place at the meetings OF the
board of directors; nor will my dignity per-
NIT me to publicly discuss personal mat
tiers further than to deny the reports which
undoubtedly emanated from the same
source as the reports appearing in the pa
pers. and which have been frequently pub
lished. to the effect that the friendship
which existed between Mr.. Fish and myself
was broken just prior to my election as
president In November. 1905. The fact Is
Mr.. F1shs actions had severed that friend
ship several years prior to that time.
Reports have also been published to the
effect that during the long friendship Of
Mr.. Fish and myself frequent promotions
were given me through-the- influence of Mr.
Fish. AS matter Of fact my connection
with the Illinois Central Railroad Company

There is lady, a member of for eign aristocracy, who, the moment she arrives in Paris, drives off to the morgue. Apparently it gives her an agreeable sensation before dinner. No self-respecting British tourist ever missed the morgue if he could help it; that is the standing joke of Paris. Yet the Parisian himself can be very morbid creature. On the morrow of a crime it is astonishing to see the buses disgorge in front of the lugubrious lit- tie building; the world hurries in to have look at the victim before busi ness hours. Well, these innocent pleas ures are to be stopped; M. Lepine says so. He has not been able to find an other site for the melancholy monument but he has decided to close its doors to the merely curious. Only those who have information to give tending to identification will be admitted in the future. That famous sketch of Cham s representing two "voyous in conver- sation outside the morgue, with the le- gend: "Ah, how triste it is today; there IS nobody there," has become mere historical document.-London Pail Mall Gazette.

BIsBEE STRIKE NOT WITHOUT
 ITS HUMOROUS INCIDENTS

Fred T. Bragonier, who returned from week stay at Bisbee last evening, states that the brunt of the strike is falling on the business men of the city. In many instances the merchants have purchased large stocks of goods and business is naturally crippled at time when it would be otherwise very heavy. Mr. Bragonier says that while there is very little disorderly conduct, there is occasionally clash between a miner and union sympathizer or picket. He saw one old-time miner going to work with his dinner bucket in his hand, when young man standing on cor ner yelled "Scab!o at him. The old man dropped the pail and walked over to the man and asked him if he had called him a "scab" He answered that he had and the old man pitched into him. The young man was taken unawares, as he did not think the old man would scrap, and the latter got in few hard licks before the younger man recovered himself Then the old man got the worst of the encounter. With somewhat disarranged features he got up from the ground, recovered his pail and resumed his journey, prob ably convinced that his fighting days were over.
