WAGNER DAY
IN FAYETTEVILLE
Flying Dutohman is Honored
by Fans Who Give Him
Fine Watch.

"Honus" Wagner, the worlds
creates baseball player, was honored
at Exposition Park, Pittsburg Friday
afternoon. just before the start of the
game between the Pittsburg and the
Boston teams. in which he took part.
The day had. been. designated
Wagner Day." and the fans of the
greater city prepared to do honor to
the man who. more than all others,
has worked to place Pittsburg in the
high position 1t now holds in the
National league race. There Is no
desire on the part of the fans to be-
little the efforts of any other player
on the PlttsbuFg team, but it is i'm
possible for any one to attend the
games playd at Exposition Park and
fail to recognize the superiority of
The Flying Dutchman." The mem
bers of the Pittsburg team were in
hearty accord with the plan OF honor
to their colleague and have entered
into the affair with enthusiasm.
Popular subscription had been
taken. the amount of money to be
contributed by each individual having
been limited to one dollar. More
than $500 had thus been raised. the
Pittsburg Dispatch having fathered
the plan, and with the money q
handsome gold watch was pur-
chased. which was presented to Was-
ner before the game began. The
time piece Is one of the best watches
ever put together. and would be u
pleasing gift to any person.

The Tyler County Star comment
ing ON the ticket headed by Charles
W swisher says:
The Overwhelming majority OF Re
'publicans Of the state are satisfied
with the ticket. VIII give 1t hearty
and unqualified support and It will
be triumphantly elected November 8.
It Is essentially a young mans
ticket. Every nominee is strong
yirile young man In the prime Of
manhood physically and mentally
qualified for the position to which
he was named. The nominees are
men of affairs and have taken an ac-
tive part in shaping the destinies of
our glorious state. They are also Re-
publicans Of the undilnted brand and
have been and are now supporters Of
the Dawson administration which has
done so much toward giving the COM
mon people of this state Roosevelt
square deal in the way of taxation
and other reforms. Their election
guarantees continuance of this
square deal policy and the Inaugural
ton of other needed reforms.
The platform is an admirable one
and pledges the party, among other
matters, to a submission of the pro-
.hibition amendment to a vote Of the
people and the passage of general
primary election law for the nomina-
ton of all candidates. This latter
is the most important step for clean
nominations and by the people that
has ever been taken by political
party. 1t and the candidates pledged
to carry into effect this declaration
should have the vote of every Re
publican.

WOMAN MAY
DIE Of POISON

Mrs. May Cotterill, the alleged
swindler who took a dose Of insect
poison in the county Jail on We'd
nesday, Is IN serious condition
from the effects of 1t today, and
County Physician Morrison Is at
tending her. Her 16 year old daugh-
ter, Nettie, is also with her. The
woman claims to have taken the
poison believing it was her medi-
cine. Sheriff Doak SCOTS the idea,
however, believing she took 1t with
suicidal intent. She notified Jailer
Bigelow herself Of what she had
done.
Although realizing that she may
die, she still maintains her inno-
cence of the forgery charge on
which she was arrested in Seattle
by Pinkerton detectives on com
plant of Col. u. P. jenkins, who
accuses her of raising check for
SIPS to 1925. She says the colonel
himself raised the check when she
refused to accept the smaller
amount. She worked as Col. Jen-
kins' housekeeper several months
and makes the claim that the
colonel wanted her to be with him
all the time and then repudiated
the agreement and offered her
$1,000 to leave him.

BLACK HAND VENGEANCE
THROUGH WoMAN'S KISS
Italian Conspiracy Plot Exposed in
Spokane Stabbing Case.

The deadly BLACK Hand" society
of the Italians has broken out in
Spokane. For weeks there have
been disquieting rumors that have
reached the ears Of the police. ltal-
fans were restless but would not
tell anything. Positive evidence of
the "black hand" however, reached
the police today through Detective
Listers efforts to bring to justice
the Italian who few nights ago
slashed Mrs. Angela Rossi with a
razor.
The first report was that it was
a love affair, but subsequent devel-
opments indicate that it was a care
fully laid plot to excite Rossi, the
woman's husband, who has refused
to join the local society. The Rossl
family conduct the lunch counter
in Frank Bruno's saloon. A clique
of worthless Italians who recently
appeared in the city have made
Brunos place their hang-out For
some reason or other they desired
Rossi with them. The police have
information that they approached
Rossi with several propositions.
Each one he refused to consider.
Then the plot to offend him and
thus deal him vengeance was
Matched.
One of the members was selected
to kiss his wife. BY this means 1t
was plotted to draw Rossi into a

SCHAOE DRIVER

That the Schade brewery strike

ON lis face, has developed through
the arrest on Wednesday Of Frank
Boofsman, German driver, on a
charge of carrying concealed
weapons. Yesterday he forfeited a
$40 bond by not appearing in po-
lice court. Bookman has been a

He claimed when arrested by

But the plotters didn't reckon on

The murderous Italian then got up
and slashed her with a knife. An
other Italian named "Blackie'
saved Mrs. Rossi by knocking her
assailant down again.
Now "Blackie" has disappeared
from all human knowledge SO far
as the police can find out. Detec'
tive Lister has thus far learned
that following the escape OF Mrs
Rossi's assailant, some of his com.
panions set upon "Blackie" and al
most beat him to death. 1t was
said that he was afterward taken to
hospital. But the police have
been unable to locate him or elicit
ny further information from the
Italians.
Ralph Rockapatch, who was ar.
rested yesterday on suspicion that
he might know something of the cir.
cumstances, will be formally
charged with vagrancy this after
noon before Police Judge Hinkle
so that he may be held to await
further investigation.

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK June 19-Hunger no
longer prevails among the pupils OF
the schools of the tenement dis
trict in the lower East-side, Man
haitian. Hundreds of little ones are
fed daily at the children's lunch
room, recently opened. The ex-
pertinent is proving huge success.
No longer do the pinched faced
little ones pore heavy-eyed over
their books and faint from weak
ness at recitations. No more, at
lunch time, do they go out to play,
with aching heads and empty stom-
achs, until the bell rings again.
Now when the lunch hour arrives
for the different schools the pupils
line up under the direction of their
teachers and march to the lunch
room. Two hundred and fifty can
be fed at once. Just as rapidly az
one delegation is fed 1t files out
and another etners. The tables are
kept in readiness with but slight in
terruption.
The luncheon comprises buns,
eggs, hot milk or coffee, and some
times cake. The charge Is cents
to the children who insist upon pay
ing. 1t is free to all others. I'm
less child is we'll nigh famished
the luncheon is sufficient to satisfy.
This lunch room is the outgrowth
of an investigation, several weeks
ago, which developed that hundreds
of children came to school day after
day without any breakfast, and a
great many of those who tainted in
the school rooms really were vic
tins of hunger. A house to house
canvass revealed an appalling con-
dition.
From many homes, practically
destitute, children went to school
without any breakfast and did not
come home to dinner, knowing
there was nothing there for them
to eat. Instead they suffered in ST.
lence all the long school day and
not infrequently swooned away
from sheer hunger. One meal a day
was all many of them got, and it
was meager
Steps to relieve this distressing
condition were taken Immediately.
Leading citizens met with school
board members and the latter
formed committee to take charge
of the situation. Subscriptions were
liberal and the lunch room was as
sured forthwith. Now public inter-
est promises to support it without
difficulty.

TOM. HEDDLE OUT
FOR SHERIFF

After sizing up the idea fore and
aft for some time Thomas E. He'd
die has concluded that he can fill
the sheriff job and announces that
he is a candidate subject to the re-
publican primaries and the choice
of the voters. He hasn't any plat
form, no enemies to punish and
nothing to turn upside down in
case he is elected, but he says he
will pay the same attention to the
business Of the Office as to his pri-
vate affairs. Mr.. Heddle has lived
in Spokane nine years and had pre-
viously served as justice of the
peace. He is one of the best known
men in Spokane and created some
thing of stir several years ago by
publishing what he called the only
Simon pure republican newspaper
in the state. His campaign Is
summed up In the statement that
he aspires to the Office and intends
to make a good sheriff If elected.
