recent democratic SuDernatOr1al prl-
mary in which Carmack was defeated.
Carmack had, since he became editor
of the Tennesseean, been quite caustic
in criticising what he called the demo-
cratic machine. and had printed several
editorials about Colonel Cooper
Within the last few days, it is as
serted, Colonel Cooper notified Carmack
that those editorial criticisms must
cease. This morning another editorial
referring to the colonel appeared in the
paper, and this IS supposed to have
been the immediate cause of the
trouble.
COLONEL SUPPORTS SON
AS Carmack fell at the edge of the
street Colonel Duncan B. Cooper put
his arm around Robin Cooper and both
walked a few feet down Seventh avenue
to DIR. r. G. Forts office, where the
slight wound in Robins shoulder was
examined and treated. An ambulance
carried the body of Carmack to an un-
dertaking establishment Carmack's
pistol, 80 caliber. was lying at his
side with two chambers empty when
the body was picked up and was turned
over to policeman.
Young Cooper was later carried to a
hospital and Colonel Cooper is held
at police headquarters. He has made
no statement.
Robin Cooper is a practicing attorney,
27 years old and single
DR.. McPheeters Glasgow, who arrived
at the scene of the tragedy soon after
it occurred, said tonight:
Il found the body of Mr. Carmack
lying with his head facing north and
with his right arm under his head. His
pistol was just out of reach of his
right hand, and the weapon was point
ing south. An evening paper was lying
near his left hand, which held a crushed
stump of a cigar. 1 Immediately sum-
moned an ambulance and had the body
carried to an undertaking establish-
ment. The body was without signs of
life when found by me and appeared to
have been so for about five minutes.
THREE BULLTES IN BODY
There were three bullets in the body
of Mr.. Carmack. I think there were
two bullets fired from Carmack's pis-
toll
The body of Carmack was prepared
for burial and removed TO the home of
Frank Lander. general manager of the
Tennessean, and will be taken to Co
lumbia, his former home, tomorrow.
The combatants were evidently very
close together when the firing began,
but the question of who fired the first
shot is In controversy. Mrs. Charles
H. Eastman of this city and J. NJ East
man of New York were near by when
the tragedy occurred. Eastmans hear
ing is not good and he declared he
knew but little of the affair. Mrs.
Eastman said:
1--WE were walking down Seventh
avenue in the direction of Church street
and had just passed the entrance to the
Polk flats. Mr.. Carmack came up the
street toward us, smiling as he recog-

there We're few people on the street.
Mr. Eastman and l were near the
edge of the sidewalk and Mr. Carmack
would have passed between us and the
entrance He raised his hat as he
spoke. He had his right hand up and
was about to make remark, when
somebody said-it was the older voice
we've got you all right or something
to that effect. + can't say positively
what the exact words were. 1t never
occurred that it was anything more
than friend speaking.
WAS CALLED "CowARD"
Mr.. Carmack raised his eyes, in
stantly put on his hat and ran his hand
back when the same voice said, You
coward: You are hiding behind a
woman, are you?'
Senator Carmack jumped out so as
to get clear of me and ran into a
gateway. 1 saw that Mr.. Carmack had
pistol. turned and said, For Gods
sake don't shoot Then 1 saw Mr. Car
mack wheel and fall in a heap in the
gutter"
Mrs. Eastman said she saw the young
man standing over Mr.. Carmack and
that he put something into his own
pocket.

ARMY WAR SCHOOL
FORMALLY OPENED
Secretary Root Shows How In
stitntion Is Designed to
Promote Peace

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-The formal
opening of the Army war college today
was made the occasion of simple cere-
monies in the building dedicated to that
institution. Secretary Root. under
whose administration of the war de-
partment the institution for military in
struction was inagurated several years
ago; General Franklin Bell. chief of
staff, and General w. ". WitherspOon.
president of the college, addressed a
distinguished company
Secretary Root declared that it was
no strange thing that at the capital OF
a country devoted to peace there should
rise this structure devoted to the science
of the arts of war Greed, jealousy
and spite have not yet disappeared
among men, and prosperity, he said,
only invites attack unless there is
also the virile manhood and capacity to
defend the nation possessing 1T. In or

should not allow their desire for power
in military affairs TO cause them TO be
absorbed by administration rather than
by a study of military problems. He
admonished them to settle their mill

military establishment and not carry
their controversies either to congress or
to the people.

FLKINS ANGRY AT
CURRENT RUMORS
Senator Declares Stories About
Daughters Wedding to Duke
of Abruzzi Are Annoying

ELKINS. W. Va, Nov. 9.-While in
creased interest lately seems to have
centered in the reported engagement OF
Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter OF
United States Senator Stephen B. Ell
kins, and the duke of the Abruzzi. it is
declared. here today in circles close to
the Elkins household that there had
been no change in the status of af-
fairs during the last several months
and that no definite announcement OF
any sort is to be expected in the very
near future
There is absolutely no disposition
here to deny the strong attachment that
exists between the young italian noble
man and Miss Elkins but that the af-
fair has approached the trousseau
stage is nowhere admitted. 1t is fur
ther pointed out that If there ever
should be a formal announcement it
would come, according to court eti-
quette in an official statement from
Rome.
MoRGANATIC MARRIAGE DENIED
The many unauthorized and specula-
tive stories that have been printed re-
garding the affair have been very an
moving to Senator E1kins and the MEM
bers of his family. This was especially
true of the report that a morganatic
marriage has been suggested. 1t is de-
clared, with emphasis, that there has
never been the slightest intimation of
such an arrangement and none would
be considered for a moment. 1t is de-
clared also that talk of a special dowry
is entirely erroneous and that such a
subject has never been broached.
1t is finally stated that correspond
ence between Turin and Elkins has
been confined solely to the duke and
Miss EIkins herself. This being the
case It is pointed out that many of the
published stories have not only been
erroneous, but unjust
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Daily Express
asserts that the wedding of the duke
of the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine FL
kins will take place in Rome or Turin
some time in 1909. The Express claims
to have authority to state that the
king and members of the royal family
wish the marriage to be solemnized in
Italy with state ceremonies, so that the
nation may participate, as 1t is among
the italian people the bride will spend
her life
WEDDING IN 1900
According to the Express the wedding
probably will take place early In 1909
though possibly not before Lent. Diff
culties arose through. Senator Ellxins'
refusal to sanction a morganatic mar
riage and because of the opposition OF
the queen mother. who had other
matrimonial views for the duke. The
kings consent, however. has been OBJ
tanned and the bride will be fully rec
ognized as a royal princess. Queen
Helena has been a strong supporter of
Miss Elkins throughout.
