Rushed Out of Bushes Behind Them
and As They Passed They Shot
Her Escort,

Cleveland. Ohio, July 27-With a
bullet wound just over his heart, a
young man who is registered as Louis
Weber. is said to be dying at the
Charity hospital. Back of the shoot
ing is a mystery which the police Of
Cleveland and Cleveland Heights, a
fashionable suburb where 1t occurred,
had not been able to solve early this
morning. The shooting occurred not
far from the scene of the Carl Bern
thaler and Lena Zeichman murder sev-
eral months ago and as far as is
known, under somewhat similar cir
cumstances. Weber was walking with
Miss Agnes Atkinson, the police say.
Both the principals say Weber was
shot by two men while the couple were
sitting on the grass. The girl helped
the young man to the residence of
F. P. Root and asked for water. To
Root she said they had been sitting at
the side of the road not far from
the Root residence when two men
dashed through the bushes in the rear
of them. She said the men seemed
greatly excited. One held revolver
in his hand and as he ran past them
he fired. The bullet struck the girls
companion. passing through his arm
and into his breast just above the
heart. The men disappeared as quick
ly as they came, the girl said.

HEARST WILL
SOUND KEYNOTE
Will be the Temporary Chair.
man Of the Independence
League Convention

Chicago, July 27.-Delegates con-
tinued to arrive for the convention Of
the national independent party which
will be called to order tonight in Or
chestra hall. VIM. R. Hearst is to act
as temporary chairman and his
speech will sound the keynote of the
party's policy throughout the coming
national campaign. He has thus far
been the dominant factor in the party
councils. He has repeatedly declared
that he is not candidate for any Of
fee and is seeking nothing beyond the
promotion OF the best interests Of the
organization he has rallied around
him. Thomas L. Hasgen of Massa-
chusetts and Milton w. Howard Of
Fort Payne, Ala, seem to be the lead
ing candidates for the presidential
nomination.
The platform of the independence
party which is to meet in national
convention tomorrow night, will, if
present plans are carried out, contain
a much more radical declaration on
the question of injunctions than was
embodied in the platforms of either
the democratic or republican party.
From present indications the temper
of the convention will be in favor of
a declaration doing away entirely
with preliminary injunctions in cases
of labor disputes. The majority of the
delegates who have arrived also be-

IN AFRICA's WILDS
Preparations Complete for the Recep.
ton of the President

St. Louis, NJ. July 27.-Friends of
William Mcmillan, the St. Louis man
who Will be the host of President
Roosevelt during the latter's visit in
British South Africa. where he will
hunt big game, today received letters
from him in which he speaks of
arrangements being made for the en-
tertainment of the chief executive.
Mcmillan is the owner of 10000 acres
Of land near Mombasa, on which he
runs rubber plantation.
I'VE have had the presidents room
all fixed" writes Mr.. Mcmillan
There won't he any luxuries here,
but Mr.. Roosevelt is used to roughing
1t, and | think he will be pleased
with the accommodations. | am MAX
Ing arrangements to have some OF
the most competent guides in the
country at the disposal of the presi-
dents party. In addition | am having
the natives bring in reports Of the
best spots for shooting big game"
Mr.. Mcmillan declares there is no
end of animal life in his country
among the larger quadropeds that
abound in this vicinity are elephant
rhinosceros, zebra, antelope. gemsback
calotic. Gland, hippotragus. stepisceros,
topi. hartebeeste. bungo. colobi. aarde-
walks, marabouts. egrets, lions, tigers
and wolves. Most of them are scrap
pers. and that fact should add to the
presidents pleasure"
McMillan's big estate is near Nair-
obi, which is three hundred miles
from Mombasa, at which point the
president will probably land. Sur
rounding his bungalow he owns
twenty thousand acres, part of which
is in ruber plantation.
From the broad porch of his house
one may see every evening species of
nearly every kind of animal that lives
in Africa, from the elephant and lion
to the monkey.
1t lie expected that the president will
push out into the deep forests and lose
himself for a while, although there
is plenty of shooting on the Mcmillan
preserves, where he will make his
headquarters.

been held in jail awaiting trial.
The shooting of Nr. Stevens was
carefully planned and carried out in
q sensational manner. Accompanied
by the Japanese consul general, the
diplomat had arrived at the ferry in
an automobile on his way to take a
train for the east on a vacation from
his service in the orient. Chang
Chung and, 1t is believed two other
Koreans who have never been appre-
hended, lay in wait for Mr.. Stevens,
and as he alighted from the automo-
bile at the ferry one of the Koreans
walked up and struck him a vicious
blow in the face. Mr.. Stevens started
in pursuit of his assailant when
Chang, who held revolver in his
hand covered by a. handkerchief, be-
gan firing. His first shot struck
Chung, and seriously wounded him.
Two other shots were fired, both strik-
ing Mr.. Stevens, one in the abck near
the right shoulder and the other sew
eral inches lower, the bullet defect
ing and passing through the abdomen.
Japanese Consul General Kioke came
to the rescue of Mr.. Stevens, placed
him in an ambulance anl rushed him
to the harbor emergency hospital.
Subsequently he was taken to the San
Francisco hospital, where he died
three days later.

SENATOR warren IS FEARFUL
THAT TAFT HAS FOUND OUT
Taft Began the Day by Going Over
the Program for Tomorrow's Work
and Approving the Same-Committee
Meetings and Conferences.

Cincinnati, July 27.-What prom
ised to be an exceedingly busy day
Of political conferences, committee
meetings and general preparation for
the notification ceremonies tomorrow
was begun early by Judge Taft. He
appeared at his offices in the Hotel
Sinton shortly after o'clock and Inn
mediately the work was on. Arthur
l. Vorys, who has been the final au-
thority in making the notification ar
rangements, was the first to be given
an audience. The program was care
fully gone over and approved.
A meeting of the state central COM
mittee was held at the hotel this aft
ernoon, at which Taft was present.
The real purpose of this meeting was
to bring the state leaders into closer
touch with each other and the: stu
alton. The early trains brought in
many members Of the notification
committee and county and state lead
ers. '''''''.
Senator Warner of Missouri, chair
man of the notification committee,
reached the city during the day, but
did not present himself to Mr.. Taft,
remarking facetiously that he was in
grave fear that Mr.. Taft had already,
gained suspicion of the fact of his
nomination which was to be revealed
to him Tuesday. With Senator War;
ner, on arriving, was Judge Charles
Nagel, national committeeman from
Missouri. Gen. Felix Angus of Balti-
more, Md, member OF the notification
committee, was one of the arrive1s
today. Gen. Angus IS serving for the
fifth time in this capac;ty, having par
ticipated in the notification of the
nomination of President Garfield, Har-
rison and twice for Mckinley. S. o.
Rigney of Boston, who takes the place
on the committee of Senator Murray
Crane, reached the city with VIM. F.
Harrington, the New Hampshire mem
Der.
Frank H. Hitchcock, who arrived
today will make report to the candi-
date on conditions in tho west as he
has found them during his recent
visit to that section.
There seems little left for the local
notification committee to do, as every
part OF Tuesdays program seems to
have been thoroughly perfected. AL
though the customary Sabbath ces-
sation Of business prevailed in the
down town streets yesterday, there
was decided activity in carrying out
the scheme of decorations. Alto
gether there was decided .a;erest
shown in preparing for the day in
which Cincinnati plans to do honor to
her distinguished citizen.

a Couple of Pleasant Hours
Together

Chicago, July 27.-William j.
Bryan spent the greater part of yes
terday quietly in his rooms in the Au-
ditorium annex where throughout the
day he received a number of visitors,
chief among whom was Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the republic
can national committee who called to
pay his respects to the democratic
leader. The two men spent some
time in pleasant conversation which
was apparently enjoyed by theb both.

their talk.
In the morning Mr.. Bryan attended
services at the First Presbyterian
church at Twenty-first street and In
diana avenue where he listened to a
sermon on Civic Duty" by Rev. John
A. Morrison After his return to the
hotel he met informally the members
of the subcommittee of the demo-
cratic national committee who have
been here for the last two days. The
plans of the coming campaign were
discussed but no definite action re-
suited, the conference being entirely
of general character.
Mr.. Bryan announced today that
on some day next week he will an
nounce the dates on which he in
tends making addresses during the
next two months. He left at 10:80
o'clock last night for Omaha where
he will be tomorrow the guest of the
Ahsarben club at a banquet. He Win
also be initiated into the society a. q
member.
Although William R. Hearst OF New
York arrived during the day and his
room in the hotel was not far from
that of Mr.. Bryan neither Of the men
paid the slightest attention to the
other. They did not meet during the
day and no messages were exchanged.
1t was announced that John R. Bur-
to nof New York will act as assistant
secretary of the national committee
throughout the campaign. Willis ].
Abbott was appointed head of the
press bureau which will work in con-
nection with the advisory bureau
which is under the direction of Henry

After q seven-hour conference with
w. ]. Bryan and John w. Kern, re-
spectively, the democratic nominees
for president and vice president, the
sub committee Of the national demo-
cratic committee late Saturday night
made it's selection of officers for the
committee.
There were in the race for chair
man besides Mr.. Mack, Judge d. NJ.
Wade Of Arkansas. e. e. Ryan of Wis
consin, former Governor James E..
Campbell of Ohio and Urey Wood
son. The sentiment for Mr.. Mack,
however. steadily grew, but he was
confronted with a handicap which
had to be removed. The well known
opposition of Murphy and Connors of
New York toward him because of his
rivalry to Mr.. Corners control of
Erie county stood in the way. The
long distance telephone was put into
play and Mr.. Corners, after the situa-
tion in the committee was explained
to him. declared that he could no
longer interpose any objections, but
that Mr.. Murphy's views must first be
obtained. The Tammany leader gave
his approval and with the atmosphere
thus cleared. Mr.. Mack was elected
by acclamation. So pleased was Mr..
Bryan by the selection that he gave

lieve that there should be no punish

The members of the independence
party make the identical statement re-
garding the democratic platform that
the democrats made concerning the
republican declaration on injunctions.
They assert that it means nothing,
says nothing and leads nowhere.
The sentiment of the convention so
far as it can be forecast is somewhat
divided concerning the financial plank
OF the platform. The majority seems
to favor declaration that all money
should be issued directly by the gov
ernment and without an intermediary.
Others incline to the view that the
money should be issued through the
national banks.
Another declaration which will like
ly be in the platform will be in IA
Vor OF giving to the interstate COM
merce commission the power to ini-
tiate changes in railroad tariffs, and
that no rates shall be reduced without

sentation from the eastern states be-
ing proportionately stronger than from
other sections of the country.
