WALTER JAMES GIVES BOND
Fatal Shots Fired During Bar Room

Used Pump Gun.

Fort Worth, Texas. May 21.-
Walker K, Hargroye was shot three
times at Sis o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon in the Board of Trade sa-
loon at Main and Third streets, and
from the effects of the third bullet
which entered the forehead just

was woman. The parties were ar
rested and when placed in jail
John" Mari admitted her sex and
told her real name. Tuesday after

Hundreds Of Clergymen and Mission
aries are in Attendance from All

Plea for Harmony,

Kansas City, Mo, May 21,-With
songs of praise and prayers for di-
vine guidance in its deliberations,
the 120th general assembly of the
Presbyterian Church of the United
States convened in Kansas City to-
day. The city is thronged with null
titude of visitors, mum bering several
thousands, including clergymen and
missionaries from all parts of the
world.
Convention Hall, the magnificent
edifice in which many political and
other gatherings of national import
anee have been held, is the scene of
the great eoncourse of Presbyterians
which is the second since the con-
solidation of the Presbyterian and
Cumberland Presbyterian churches.
One and quarter millions of mem
bers are represented by the delegates
gathered here today. All of the
southern and southeastern states ave
represented, for the first time, at
this assembly, making it the largest
convention in the history of the de-
nomination.
The general assembly is a repre-
sentative body, composed of 500
regularly elected commissioners, in
addition to secretaries of boards,
foreign missionaries, college presi-
dents and prominent laymen. Sena-
tors, congressman, editors, educa-
tors, lawyers and distinguished men
of other professions, with many bus
mess men, will take an active part
in the discussions. William Jennings
Bryan is slated for an address.
Missionaries from many out of the
way corners of the world are here,
and all races, nations and tongues
are represented. Some of them are
visiting the United States for the
first time in many years and there
were many affecting scenes as long
separated brethren of the church
met in joyful reunion.
The assembly opened with the an
nual sermon of the Rev. DR.. William
Henry Roberts, of Philadelphia. who
is moderator, stated clerk and sec
retary to all the twenty-five special
committees. Many important matters
will be considered during the con-
vention, which will last until early
next month. The union of the Pres
byterians with the Cumberland Pres
byterians will come up again for
discussion, many of the latter chur-
ches, especially in the South, having
refused to ratify the union. An eff
fort to conciliate these warning fac
tions will be made by the assembly
Among the entertainments planned
for the guests are receptions and mo-
tor car rides and an excursion tc

HOW II WORKS IN DEs. MONIES
Iowa City Is Pleased With City Com
mission Government

Des Moines, Ia, May 21.-The net
results of commission government
to the city OF Des Moines in the five
weeks of trial since it became oper-
ative are:
l. Cleaner streets than the city
had ever known in its history.
q A saving of thousands of dol
lars to the taxpayers in the elimin-
alton of petty Offices created for po-
litical purposes
g. A reduction in the cost Of cleo
tric lights for public parks, public
buildings and streets.
4. The reorganization of the po-
lice and fire departments and the
creation of civil service rules for
these departments.
s. A uniform system of account
ing in all the city departments.
6. The absolute elimination of po-
litical appointments in every munich
pal department and the substitution
Of the merit system in selecting the
minor officials.
When the commission government
was adopted the majority for the
proposition was something more than
1000 The most moderate estima te
as to the state OF popular sentiment
regarding the plan now is that nine
out of every ten of the voters in this
city would vote to retain the COM
mission government If the PROPOSE
tion were re-submitted.
Commission government has ex
ceeded in its practical application
even the claims made for 1t by Its
friends, and has refuted every argu-
ment made against 1t by its oppon-
ents.
The city government is now divid
ed into the following departments

AIRED PARSONS LOVE AFFAIR
Fair Guardian Of Mails Accused Of
Triflins with Cupid.

Chicago, May 21.-Miss Anna B.
Whitmore, the pretty postmistress
of the village of Gray Lake, will be
given hearing today by the federal
authorities on a charge of tampering
with mail that passed through her
hands. 1t is not alleged that the fair
guardian of Uncle Sans mails was
actuated by motives of cupidity, but
rather that q natural feminine Curl
osfty in the love affair of local par
son led to her arrest. The Rev Have
nor, of Grays Lake, is the complain
ing witness.
Parson Havenor declares that his
engagement to Mary Calvin, of Fort
Wayne, although supposed to be
profound secret, leaked out in Gray's
Lake and was known to every gossip
in the village. Every where he went,
asserts the parson, he was greeted
with grins and giggles and many
people favored him with exact quota
tions from the loving letters that
passed daily between him and his
fiancee. At last, says the preacher,
he was told that the postmistress was
spreading the information about his
love affair, and he appealed to the
postal authorities to put stop to
such proceedings. An investigation
by postotfice inspectors and the ar
rest of Miss Whitmore followed 1t is
not known what plea the alleged tri-
fer with Cupid will make when the
case is called for hearing today

above the nipple and the third bur
led itself in the stomach.
News of the shooting spread like
wildfire about the city, and in an in
credibly short space of time a crowd
of more than a thousand had gather
ed, and despite the efforts of the
police, the saloon was soon filled to
the point of suffocation.
Immediately following the shoot
ing, Walter James surrendered him
self to Detective Ben Bell, who turn
ed over his prisoner to crowd of
officials, including four deputy sher-
ifs, three constables and five mem
bers of the local police force
The same crowd Of officials, half
hour later, escorted James to the
office of Justice Maben, followed by
more than / 900 men and boys, who
fruitlessly attempted to make their
way into the court room, where
James waived a preliminary trial and
by an agreement with the county at
torney the bond for his appearance
before the grand jury was fixed at
$4,000.
AS soon as the sum was made
known, T. B. James, a cousin; G. P.
James and r. L. James, his uncles,
and w. NJ. Robinson, R. H. McNatt
and John Kaiser signed the bond
and when Justice Maben announced
that there were sufficient signatures
several others stood waiting to sign
their names.
Walker Hargrove had led an eX-
ceptional career. The first serious
trouble in which he was implicated
was in 1891, when a shooting affray
resulted over horse trade, and in
which William Smith, Harry Spears
and George Hargrove, a brother of
Walker, were killed outright, and
Walkers father was mortally woun-
ded.
A few years later, Hargrove NOV
ed to Bowie, shortly after which he
was made deputy chief of police. To
his credit 1t is said he was very sue
cessful in suppressing lawless char
