PEACE JUSTICE
FOR MANY YEARS
After Numbering Old Man Thieves
Rifle Trunk but Overlook Small
Sums OF Money In the House
Lone Arrest Made by Of
flCerS From Las Vegas.

Las Vegas, June 4.-(SpeciaD -
Jose Maria Baros, a pioneer resident
of Chaperito, San Miguel county, was
murdered Tuesday night as he lay
sleeping in his home. his head being
beaten to a pulp and then severed
with an axe. His feeble-minded
daughter witnessed the murder of her
father but made no outcry and did
not tell of the murder until the next
morning.
News of the murder was brought
to Las Vegas today and officers from
this city at once left for Chaperito.
After an investigation of the murder
they placed under arrest Carlos Lu-
cero. whose home Is at Los Terres.
Lucero was drunk the night of the
crime.
According to the story told by the
daughter two men entered the house
and attacked her father as he lay In
bed. They beat him on the head with
an axe, stunning him at the first blow
so that he was unable to make a
struggle. They continued to beat his
head with the axe until his head was
but a shapeless mass, and they then
severed the head from the body.
Robbery was evidently te motive
for thee rime, as the two men then
ransacked the house. They dragged
I a srsii trunk outside the house,
broke 1t open and scattered its CON
tents about the yard, taking some
papers and a small sum of money.
! The sum OF s1.40 which Baros had in
his pockets and 81 which was under
his pillow were missed by the muir
derers.
The dead man had been a justice
of the peace at Chaperito for many
years and was well thought of in the
community. Officers from Las Vegas
are still working on the case in an
| effort to locate the men who COM
! mitted the murder.

Increase of Quarter of a Mil
lion--Yedr 1907 Was Un-
preCedented for Traffic.

Galveston, June 4.-The railroad
commission yesterday exposed reports
of the Texas railroads and showed the
decrease In gross earnings for ths
past nine months to have been 34.-
100000. instead of Ss.000,000 an
claimed by the roads.
The commission declares that over
so per cent of the decrease Is nctic-
ious. due to the new system Of book
keeping of certain railroad accounts
as ordained by the Interstate Com
merce commission.
Comparison is made with the earn
ings in 1907. which the Texas COM
mission shows was an unprecedented
year for Texas roads, In which they
had more traffic than they could ham
die. Earnings for the past nine
months as compared with the same
period of 1904, show an increase Of
S2,500, 600, 1t is claimed.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS

No Mention of the Peerless One In
Platform Adopted Yesterday,

Baltimore. Md. June 4-The
Democratic state convention was held
yesterday and delegates to the ma
tional convention at Denver were
elected and a platform adopted. The
latter makes no mention of the candl-
dacy for the presidential nomination
Of w. j. Bryan and his followers, who
had been demanding half the delega-
ton sent to Denver, and the count
reveals but four sure Bryan men out
of the sixteen delegates chosen. The
close of the convention came amid
considerable confusion, owing to a
statement of a delegate that he had
intended to offer a resolution looking
to instructions favorable to Bryan,
but had been dissuaded, and an en-
deavor of another delegate to second
the others motion, though none had
been made.
The platform promises the candi-
dates named at Denver the "gener-
Gus and loyal suppr"t OF the thor
oughly united Democracy of Mary

who the candidates should be. II de-
mands a revision OF N, tariff by the

Honor to Zola Stirs UP Ill Feeling
and Attempt on Life Of Drey-
fuS Follows Removal Of
Writer'S Body to
Pantheon.

Paris. June AT the conclusion
of the ceremony this morning in con-
nection with the placing of the body
of Emile Zola in the Pantheon, and
while the procession was emerging
from the portieo to witness defile
of troops, a member of the staff OF
France militaire, who gave the name
of Gregori, fred two shots point blank
at Major Alfred Dreyfus. The latter
was only struck once, in the hand.
His assp = was arrested. Dreyfus'
injuries are slight.
A scene of indescribable confusion
followed the ringing out of the two
shots and for a time the crowd be-
lieyed that President Fallieres, who
was present at the ceremonies, mad
been shot. The crowd surged forward
and Dreyfus' assailant was badly
beaten before he was rescued by the
police.
Zola, who died in 1902, was ten
wears ago condemned to years i'm
prisonment for addressing to Felix
Faure, then president, his famous let
ter, "Jaccuse," in which he laid bare
the conspiracy of the general army
staff against Dreyfus. Today MS
dust was inferred with national hon.
ors In the Pantheon, the French Tenn
pie of Fame, with impressive cere-
monies.
The proposal to give Zola giori-
Gus burial was made first in 1905 and
aroused in France all the dormant
animosities that came out in the Drey
fus trials, and the transfer OF his
ashes, although duly voted oy the
Chamber and Senate. was twice post
poned because Of the state of public
opinion.
The opposition to the burial OF
Zola's ashes in the Pantheon arose
from his defense of Dreyfus and the
authorities expected disorders today
The attempt on the life of Dreyfus
was made by Louis Anthelne Gren-
gori, a member of the staff of La
France Militaire, a jovrnal devoted to
military progress and the military fu-
ture of the republic. Dreyfus was
present at the ceremonies to do final
homage to the great leader of his
cause.
Grengori's act was undoubtedly IN
spired by the campaign which the re-
| dictionary press has been conducting
against Zola as an 'insulter of the
army and a "traducer of his coun-
try"
