SHOOTS FRIEND; KILLS SELF
ONLY MOTIVE SEEMS TO HAVE
BEEN THAT THEY DIE TO.
GETHER.

Fairfax, MINI, March 14.--The plot
Of desperate man to murder his
friend and to kill himself was only
partly carried out here last night,
when Henry Kaatz, aged thirty
shot Martin KunZ, q harkeeper. aged
forty, in the back of the head and then
turned the weapon upon himself, in
flicting wound in his own head from
which he died Immediately.
The shooting occurred in Joseph
Dickmeyer's saloon, in which Kunz
had worker as barkeeper for dozen
years.
Kaatz and Kunz were engaged in
what seemed to be mutually agreea-
BILE conversation, when suddenly Kaatz
strobe from the table to position
close beside his friend and taking a
revolver from his pocket fired a bullet
at close range into the back Of Kunz's
head Without seconds delay Kaatz
raised the gun to his own forehead and
blew out his brains.
Kunz was seen to be breathing and
was taken to the Office Of physician
where the bullet was removed, and he
is now recovering.
Kunz declares there was no provoca-
ton for the attempt upon his life and
no motive for the suicide of Kaatz, un'
less it be that the latter had grown
tired of his reckless and unsatisfactory
way of living and had plotted his own
death and that Of his inseparable
friend so that the two might be joined
in death.

STAGE OF DECENTRALIZATION Dor.
DERING ON PANIC IN WALL
STREET.
WILL NOT CHANGE ATTITUDE

Washington, March Is. For more
than forty-eight hours the White
House and treasury department have
been flooded with appeals for Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Cortel-
you to take some action to avert the
threatened disaster" in the financial
world. 1t can be stated authoritat tive
~, however, that President Roosevelt
will not change his attitude toward the
railroads, though it is admitted that
the administration has no intention of
entering on an extremely radical at
tack on the railway corporations.
Not Hostile to Railroads.
While 1t is known that the visit OF
J. Pierpont Morgan to the White
House last Monday night to induce the
president to issue reassuring state
ment to the country in regard to the
administrations attitude toward the
railroads, and the apparent failure OF
the tinancier's appeal has had much to
do with the panicky conditions that
swept over Wall street yesterday,
President Roosevelt has repeatedly
said that he is not an enemy OF the
railroads and that those that obey the
laws have nothing to fear from the
government.
Brought on by Maenates.
The administration is firmly con-
vinced that the great unrest in tinan-
c1al circles has been brought on by the
arguments advanced by the railroad in
f1syi Ylp f0 ~,
legislation" in the various states and
not by the attitude that the federal
government has taken to enforce the
laws regulating the common carriers.
Almost Panic in Wall Street.
New York, March 15.-Under the
effect OF rs per cent money and the
generally pessimistic continent devel-
oped as a result of the recent heavy
decline, trading on the stock exchange
yesterday reached stage of demorali-
cation bordering on actual panic.
Rumors of administration antago-
nism to railroad enterprises, of tinan-
cial difficulties besetting the Harri.
man interests in the carrying out Of
their current enterprises, of all man
ner of things disastrous to an opti-
mistic stock market, threw the traders
into panic.
Make New Low Records.
New low records for the year, and in
some instances for several years were
established in the active speculative
issues under precipitate selling.
Other than higher money and the
generally bearish feeling, there was
nothing to account for the markets
weakness, unless it was the nervous
ness of stock market traders as to the
attitude of the national administration
toward the railroad corporations.
Government Relief Belated.
Rumors In circulation during the aft
ernoon that government relief might
be looked for, official confirmation OF
which was received after the close,
were without effect on the stock mar
ket trading.
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou
brought relief to the situation by an
nouncing that $46,OOO,0O0 would re-
main in circulation that would other
wise have been called into the treas
ury.
