FATAL ROW OVER POLITICS.
State Senator Kemp Victim OF c. =
Hvde's Pistol at Amite, La.

ANTE, La, March 1.-THE strained
political situation in Louisiana democratic
circles was last night responsible for the
killing of Democratic State senator-elect
10. s. Kemp of this city. lie was shot
and killed by c. F. Hyde. young poiiti-
cal and business leader of this section.
Yesterday the men quarreled about the
recent democratic primary for lieutenant
governor, in which J. ]. Bailey and Paul
Lambremont competed, with the result
that Bailey, the defeated candidate, filed
a protest charging the democratic state
central committee with fraud.
Hyde in discussing this controversy Is
alleged to have called Kemp liar. The
friends of both thought the incident trivial
and it had apparently been forgotten until
last night when Senator Kemp with q
drawn revolver walked into Hyde's place
of business, accompanied by friend.
HYDE was unarmed. Kemp. still keeping
his revolver in sight, demanded an
apology, which was refused. Kemp is
then alleged to have slapped Hydes face.
The senator's friends at this point In
terfered and separated the two men. who
thereupon agreed to meet and fight II out
with revolvers. Senator Kemp then left,
and Hyde went into his house nearby and
secured his revolver. When he came out
he shouted to Kemp to wait for him.
which the senator did The two ap-
proached each other and Hyde opened
fire, two shots fatally wounding the sena-
tor. who died within thirty minutes after
the shooting Hyde was not injured and
witnesses claim that Kemp did not shoot
Senator Kemp was q man of middle age
and Hyde is twenty-four years old.

Conclusions in the Reports.


The majority report held that the shoot
ing was done by some of the soldiers be-
longing to the 25th Infantry; that the tes-
timony fails to identify the particular
soldier or soldiers who participated In
the afray. 1t is stated that there Is con-
siderable contradiction in the testimony.
but that taken as whole and reconclllng
1t wherever possible it proves the case
outlined in the majority's decision.
The principal minority report takes the
position that 1t has been impossible to
ascertain who did the shooting and makes
the recommendation that the negro sol
diers be restored.
The report of Senator's Foraker and
Bulkeley declares that the testimony of
the eye-witnesses against the negro SOL
diers is not reliable and that no motive
for their alleged connection with the af-
fray had been shown. He summed UP the
testimony taken by the Senate committee
as follows:
THAT It wholly fails to identify the
particular individuals or any of them who
participated in the shooting; that it fails
to show that any Of the discharged SOL
diers of the 25th Infantry had entered into
any agreement or so-called conspiracy
of silence" or that they withheld infor-
nation possessed by them for the shoot
ing; that the testimony is contradictory
and not sufficient to sustain the charge
that the soldiers were connected with the
shooting and that the weight of the evil
dence shows that none of the negro SOL
dlers participated in the ARRAY
A supplemental report signed by Sena-
tors Warren, Lodge, Warner and du Pont
declares that under the evidence it is
SHOWN that the assault was perpetrated
by members Of the battalion, but that it
is reasonable to believe that all of the
soldiers were not concerned in the COM
mission of the crime. either as principals
or accessories. They recommend that II
would be justice to restore to all of the in
nocent men the rights and privileges
which had accrued to them by reason of
their previous service in the army.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, March IL
Fifteen hundred republicans are in the
city to attend the state convention sched-
uled to convene at o'clock this after
noon to name four delegates-at-large to

Unusual interest attaches to this con-
vention not only because of a factional

assemble since the admission of Okla
homa as a state.
A few delegates favoring any candidate
other than Taft Joined In an endeavor to
prevent an instructed delegation for the
Secretary Of War. This furnished one
contest; the other came from a disagree
ment in the ranks of the avowed Taft
adherents, many of whom opposed State
Chairman Hunter.
Hunters Methods Denounced.
Hunter is Rough Rider and the
leaders charged that he exercised undue
influence in the distribution Of patronage
and that he did this while holding the Of
fee Of clerk of the federal court. which
position he now occupies. Chairman
Hunter had hitherto resisted all pressure
brought upon him to resign, and it was
believed he would not voluntarily step
down. although it developed that many of
the delegates opposed him.
All efforts of the state committee to
agree on a temporary organization yes

probable this afternoon that two sets of
officers would be presented to the con-

1000 Native Homes DESTROYED
in Suburb of Manila.
1900 MADE HOMELESS
Fire Department Unable to Check the
Flames.
10000 FEET OF HOSE BURNED
Confagration Started by a Spark
From a Railroad Locomotive.
Loss About 100000 Gold.

MANILA, March 1.-Two thousand ma
tive houses have been destroyed and 1900
persons made homeless in the suburb OF
Sampaloc as the result Of q fire which
started this afternoon at o'clock from
a spark from a railroad locomotive. 1t
made a clean sweep in one hour. All the
houses were Of the native type shacks of
bamboo and nipa, with thatched roofs.
One of these roofs received the spark and
caught quickly, and a high wind blew
sparks and flames through the whole dis
trict. The fire department was wholly un-
able to check the progress Of the fire, and
in the effort 1900 feet of hose were
burned.
1t is estimated that the loss is about
100000 gold. 1t is probable that there
are no Americans among the sufferers.
The homeless are being cared for by the
police and the churches. There Is no SUI
fering 50 far as food and shelter are con-
cerned, the police having made ample pro-
vision for feeding all the needy, while the
houses destroyed were Of such a character
that they can be rebuilt In day or TWO.
There were no casualties.

Filpinos. AS thatch 1t covers most OF
the houses and other buildings In the Is

great extent by the natives. When much

A Loving, Generous Heart.

1t is not the selfish, grasplng heart
which is unsatistied; 1t is the loving
and generous one. The baby born with
such d nature makes friends with all
the world. AS 81 child, It claims the
whole school as playmates Arrived
at maturity, there is still the eager
outstretching for more to love. Tho
happy wife is not satisfied till little
portunty for the tcndrils of affection
to clasp and cling. She watches them
grow IN turn to manhood and woman
hood. and rejoices i'm grandchildren on
whom to pour out the rich balm of her
heart. While she lives, she loves.
There is a world Of difference be-
tween the unsatisfied and the dissatis-
fled heart. The latter might we'll envy
the former. One feels out for the in
finite and gratefully accepts every good
that comes. The other frcts and fumes
because the infinite is not thrust into
it's bosom. Ono thinks of others; the
selfish, cynical soul, only Of itself.
The man or woman with the tender,
loving heart may see dear one after
dear one pass away; yet there is this
ever on-,caching OF affection which
holds like d magnet all who come
within its influence. There may be no
outward attempt to win friends; but
the gentle qualities Of the nature draw
everyone to It, as the mellow influence
of the sun in spring wins to the sur
face every seed which has within it
the responsive germ of life.

d history perhaps little dreamed Of

quent witnesses of his faithful fulfill
ment of minutest duties.
Soon after the Gospel began to be
preached, the Apostles found them
selves cncumbered with ministrations
that prevented them from attending
to the proper discharge of the exalt-
ed duties. In the sixth chapter of the
Acts Of the Apostles. we find that, to
free themselves, from this onerous
serving to temporal concerns, they ap-
pointed seven young men full of wis
dom and the Holy Spirit to assist them.
These seven were called deacons. They
had supervision over the material con-
Germs of the Apostles and the faithful
who in those days had all things in
common. They were associated to the
Apostles also in the higher work of
evangeli:ation. We learn in the same
chapter of the Acts that Stephen, one
of the seven, preached so powerfully
that none could resist his eloquence,
and in chapter the eighth that Philip
went about the country of the Samar-
itans announcing Christ and convert
ing many. AS time went OH and the
Church grew, the work of the deacons
became heavier. There was more
preaching to be done, more baptizing,
more care Of tho poor, more journey
ings to make, more churches to pro-
vide for, still there was a prejudice
against altering the apostolic number
and having more than seven deacons
In one city. The deacons complained; {;
even with the seven sub-deacons they
could not properly fulfil their charge
They asked for assistants. They were
given, and the duties of the deacons
limited to preaching and baptizing, and
immediate attendance on the priest
Distinct minor orders thus originated
and as far back as the year 200 we
hear mention Of acolytes to provide
the things necessary for the service
and at the right time. exorcists to carry
the holy water used in the rites of ex
orcism, lectors to read the announce
ments. and the gospel-texts for the
preachers, porters to attend the door
and to maintain good order during
the hours of worship.
These inferior officers were chosen
by the Bishop and appointed with some
befitting ceremony, a canon of the
Fourth Council Of Carthage prcscrib>
Ing for the acolyte that "the Bishop
shall inform him how he is to behave
in his oce; and the acolyte shall re-.
ceive q. candlestick with taper in it
from the archdearon, that he may un-
derstand that he is appointed to light
the lights in the church. He shall also
receive an empty pitcher to furnish
wine for the Eucharist of the Blood OF
Christi
In the course of time these orders
were conferred merely as introduc.
tory steps to the deaconate or the
priesthood, while the duties which be-
longed to them were conferred on lay
men. This custom grew into law
though several councils tried to bring
back the ancient discipline. Today the
priest represents in himself all the
orders inferior to his own, and their
duties he retains in part and in par,
passes to laymen-the altar boys full
fill the function of the acolytes.
