KANSAS CITY HOTEL
OWNER SHOOTS TWO
James P. Hayes and John O'Donnell
Seriously Wounded in Fight
with J. D. Cosby.

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 1S.-James
p. Hayes, agent of the Traders Dis
patch, and John O'DOnnell, cigar deal
er. were shot and seriously wounded
by J. d. Cosby, proprietor of the Cos
by hotel. in the office of the hotel last
night.
Hayes and O'Donnell called at the
hotel to see two men they believed
were stopping there. When told by
the clerk, William Murray, that the
two men they sought had left the ho-
tel, Hayes and O'Donnell accused Muir
ray of Misrepresentation and assault
ed him. inflicting slight injuries, after
which they went out on the street. A
few minutes later they again entered
the hotel Office and resumed their as
sault on Murray, whose cries for as.
sistance were heard by Cosby.
AS soon as Cosby entered the Office
Hayes attempted to assault him. and
Cosby drew a pistol and shot both
Hayes and O'Donnell Hayes was shot
twice and O'Donnell once, and both
men were seriously injured.
Cosby says he did not intend tC
shoot O'Donnell and did not realize
that he had done so until he saw hin
fall Hayes and O'Donnell were taker
to hospital and Cosby was arrested

remember that no citizen of our grand
country shall, according to the consti
tuition. be deprived of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. If an occa-
sional glass of wine adds to my hap
piness, as it does, you are not allowed
to prevent me from getting it."
Might Apply to Medicine.
MIR. Kustermann said that if a bill
were passed to prevent interstate COM
merce in intoxicating liquor, the ques-
ton would arise whether under such
an act all patent medicines containing
alcohol could not be debarred. The
next step of the agitators, he said,
probably would be to keep out tobacco
and cigars, because some of their
dear ones are affected by the use OF
the weed. and it is not one of the agi
tators' good traits to pay any atten
ton to the likes and dislikes of 9th
ers."

PROHIBITION UNCONSTITUTIONAL SAYS
REPRESENTATIVE IN HOUSE DEBATE

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Representa-
tive Kustermann of Wisconsin holds
that the prohibition of the liquor traf-
ffc is violation Of the federal consti-
tuition. Arguing before the house jul
dietary committee yesterday against
the Littlefield bill, which provides that
liquor shipped in interstate commerce
into state and directed TO a local op-
tion district, shall become seizable at
the state border.
No Preference Clause Cited.
Mr.. Kustermann said that that part
of the constitution should be borne in
mind which says that no preference
shall be given by any regulation of
commerce or revenue to one state over
another This, he said, should prevent
congress from keeping liquor out of I
few states and not out of all.

Kustermann, ''it might also be well tC

DERRICK CAR IS BLOWN UP
Work on Northwestern Bridge at
Clinton Stopped.

Clinton. Iowa, Feb. 1S.-Dynamite
was exploded at 2:30 o'clock yesterday
morning in a derrick car operated by
the Wisconsin Fridge company of Mil
waukee, partially demolishing the car
and interruptiug work on the super
structure of rne new Chicago and
Northwestern railroad bridge across
the Mississippi here. The crash was
heard seven miles away, and dwellers
in East Clinton were thrown from
their beds. Detectives are trying to
discover the persons responsible for
the explosion. Nonunion men are en-
ployed by the company, and there is
belief that this has resulted in senti-
ment against the builders. Nineteen
sticks of dynamite were found scat
tered about the car and connected by
fuse. The unskillful placing of the dy
Mantle prevented greater destruction
of property.

ENDS IN MISTRIAL
Smell Jury Unable to Agree in
Will Contest and is
Dismissed.
VOTE SAME FOR 46 HOURS
Eight in Favor of Breaking instrument
Public Sentiment Generally Fa-
Vors Contestant.

Clinton, H., Feb. 1S.-The jury in
the Smell $2,OOO,OOO will case was dis
charged yesterday afternoon, being un-
able TO agree OH a verdict after forty
six hours of deliberation.
The twelfth and final vote taken by
the jurymen showed absolutely no
change from the first, eight being in
favor of breaking the will on the
grounds that the old man was insane
at the time it vas drawn up. and four
holding the opinion that the testator
was mentally asponsible for his acts.
Another Trial in May.
Immediately after the jury was dis
missed by Judge Cochrane. Richard
Smell, the son vho was practically dis
inherited, announced he would make
another attempt to have the will set
aside at the May term of court.
When the jury was called into court
by Judge Cochrane the members
showed the strain of the arguing in
which they had been involved for the
last two days. When the judge asked
liz there was any likelihood of their
reaching an agreement, the foreman
replied:
Your honor. we might remain here
for a whole wSeef and It is my opinion
we would be no nearer a verdict than
we are now"
disappointed at Outcome.
Judge Cochrane then dismissed
them, granting the petition made for
the first time Ill the afternoon.
There is considerable disappoint
ment felt here at the outcome of the
trial. as a large majority of the peo'
PIE of Clinton wished to see Richard
Smell share in the millions of his
| father.

Republican Committee
Commits Itself on the
Presidency.
HAS A HOLLOW SOUND
Taft Will be Second Choice.
Convention at Springfield
Thursday, March rs.

Springfield, ILL.,. Feb. 1S.-The repub-
lican state central committee met this
morning and adopted resolutions en-
dCrsing Joseph G.. Cannon for the
presidency, ana fixed the date for the
holding Of the state convention in this
city. Thursday. March 26.
The call for convention for the
election of delegates and alternates
provides there shall be one delegate to
the state convention for every 400
votes cast for republican electors in
1904, ana one delegate for each frac-
tion above that number.
Left 10 own Methods.
To each county central committee
will be left the method of selecting
delegates to the state convention. To
each congressional district will be left
the method of selecting its delegates
to its convention.
The decision is a compromise. Can
non is only Il partial gamer. Under
this decision it is doubtful whether he
can get a solid delegation from the
state.
Taft VIII BE Second Choice.
To save his honor and his name he
will now be content with instructions
in the several congressional districts
TO vote for him so long as he may
have a chance. A declaration for Taft
as second choice will carry in almost
every district convention, and Cannon
will accept the inevitable. He has lost
his play for vest pocket delegation
that he could deliver at the psycho-
logical moment to any candidate he
might desire.

FATHER SAMMON KILLED
Sleigh in Which Two of Notre Dame
Faculty Rode Hit by Car.

Faculty Rode Hit by Car.
Notre Dame, Ind, Feb. 1S.-Father
Sammon of Notre Dame university
was killed instantly last night and
Father Timothy Murphy so badly in
jured he may not recover, when 4
sleigh in which they were driving was
overturned by street car on the Hill
street line which runs out to the uni
versity. The car passed over and
sevcred Father Sammon's body. The
recent snowdrifts made the roads i'm
passable and the priests were compell'
ed to drive in the car tracks. The car
came from behind at full speed and
struck the cutter without any warn
ing. Students on the car say the mo-
