Retired Naval officer Expires Sud
denly OF Apopiexy.
New York. Dec. 5Rear Admiral
Joseph B. Coghlan is dead at New
Rochelle, N. Y. He was in command
of the New York navyyard from 1904
to 1907.
Rear Admiral Coghlan's death was
very unexpected. He, with Mrs. Cogh-

newspaper man, in Sutton Manor, the
residence section of New Rochelle,
while waiting for his new home in
that city to be made ready for his oc-
cupancy.

miral Coghlan's death. Only short
time before the end he complained of
severe pains in the region of the heart
and when physician reached the
house he had collapsed.
Admiral Coghlan was native of
Kentucky, where he was born in 1914.
In the course of his distinguished
career he had active service in the
Civil war, in the Spanish war, as sec
ond in command of the North Atlantic
squadron from June, 1902, to April,
1904, and more recently commandant

Kansas City Police and ReIig-
iOus Fanatics Clash.
OFFICER AND A CHILD KILLED
Two Policemen and a Street Ex-
horter Fatally Hurt.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 9.-In the
very shadow of the city hall in this
city and less than half mile from
the business center, riot in which
religious fanatics and police were the
participants and during which 10(
shots were fred, resulted in the deatf
of one policeman and child, the fatal
injury of three and slight injury OF
two other persons. The dead are AL
bert O. Dalbow, policeman, and Lola
Pratt, aged thirteen years. The ia
tally injured are: John Sharp, known
as Adam God, a street preacher
Michael Mullane, patrolman; Pat
rick Clark, a police sergeant.
The trouble started when Probation
Oficer Holt, finding several children
with the fanatics on the street, made
inquiries about them. His questions
aroused the leader, who attacked Holt,
knocking him down. The latter
rushed to the police station nearby,
followed by the fanatics, with revol-
vers drawn. Holt warned the officers
to prepare for tro- Die and the SER
geant in charge ordered two patrol
men to go out and arrest Sharp and
his followers.
The officers were not expecting Sc
rious trouble and were not prepared
for the volley of bullets which met
them almost Immediately after they
appeared on the scene. Dalbow was
killed instantly, and bullet passed
through Stege's arm. Other officers,
hearing the firing, rushed into the
street, and a general battle ensued.
The officers as they stepped from the
building, offered themselves as tar
gets to their opponents in the fight,
but were unable to shoot without en-
dangering the lives Of innocent per-
sons. Sergeant Clark, who had
core into the street unarmed, was
shot in the eye, and Patrolman Null
lane was shot in the back as he hur-
ried into the police station for rein
forcements.
In the meantime riot call had
been sounded and policemen were ap-
pearing from all directions. Thor
oughly aroused, the officers closed in
on Sharp and his followers, firing as
they went, but taking great care not
to injure any of the children, and
when the firing ceased Adam God'
lay fatally wounded, shot through the
head and body.
The seriously injured were taken
to hospitals and then the police be-
gan to clear streets of all street
preachers, and it is said that the trou-
BILE marks the end of religious ex-
hortations on the streets of Kansas
City.

duced resolution asking the speaker
to appoint committee of five to "as-

which appears on record to have been
paid to the French company. was
really paid to that company It is
said that the national Democratic

indirectly paid to American citizens
or to an American syndicate and If

the presidents brother-in-law, Doug
las Robinson of New York, and
Charles p. Taft of Cincinnati, brother
of the president-elect, had profted by
the transaction. Tt was this charge
and newspaper comment thereon
which provoked the letter from Pres

in the matter were open to the public.

Terrific Explosion Occurs In a
New York Tenement.
BOMB THROWN INTO AIR SHAFT
Wreckage Hurled With Frightful
Force Into Sleeping Rooms.

New York, Dec. 9.-More than y
score of persons were injured, five OF
them seriously, and hundred more
were thrown into panic when a
bomb was hurled into the air shaft of
the tenement house at $50 East Sixty
third street. The house was badly
wrecked. The house was occupied
exclusively by Italians and it devel-
oped that threatening letters had been
received by many of them during the
past few months.
The explosion was terrific. The
concussion shook buildings for blocks.
The sides of the air shaft, down
which the bomb was thrown, are
lined with sleeping rooms one one
side and bathrooms on the other.
Practically all of those injured were
asleep in the bedrooms on the south
side. The bathrooms were wrecked,
the water pipes torn and broken and
the whole building on that side was
flooded before the water could be cut
off in the partially wrecked cellar.
Plaster and bricks, mixed with jagged
pieces of glass from the shattered
windows, were hurled into the sleep
ing rooms with frightful force and
some of those injured were found half
buried and unconscious under the de-
bris piled upon their beds.
The roar of the explosion brought
residents out into the street for
blocks around and in few minutes
a crowd of hundreds of half clad men
and women were gathered in front Of
the house.
1t was more than an hour before
the excited men and women who
thronged the surrounding streets
could be quieted and induced to re-
turn to their homes.
