PORTLAND, July 19.-David Conelli,
an Italian, 27 years old, tonight shot
Mrs. Dolly Sharp, with whom he was
enamoured, and Delmar Peterkin,
whom he found in company with the
woman at her lodgings at 2O71s Th1rd
street. Mrs. Sharp died SOON after she
was taken to the hospital, and the doc
tors say Peterkin cannot live.
| Conelli fired eleven shots from the
two revolvers he had, and the noise
attracted several men who started in
pursuit of him as he fled from the scene
of the shooting. These were Joined by
others, and, as if it sprang from the
earth, the crowd appeared numbering
several hundred persons, and by the
time Conella had reached hts lodgings
on Sixth sreet, about four blocks away,
it had grown to bowling mob OF more
than a thousand.
Conelli managed to keep some dis
tance ahead of his pursuers, and rum
ming to his own room he bolted the
door, hastily scribbled two notes an
nouncing that he left his watch to "the
little girl, Dolly Sharp" and his other
effects to Clifford Leonard, In whose
house he boarded, and then blew out
his brains with the one shot tnat he had
left.
Woman occupants of the Leonard
household, unaware of what was going
on, let out a cry when they heard the
revolver shot, and the mob outside,
fancying the fugitive was continuing
his work of carnage, quickly sur
rounded the house, shouting wildly,
and of course attracting larger crowd
until the streets were blocked for
blocks.
The police in the meantime had been
summoned to the rooming house, where
the dying couple were, and 1t was some
minutes before Sergeant Reaty and De-
| tective Howell reached the Leonard
house 1t required still further time to
)force way through the denseiy packed
i crowd of morbid curiopity seekers who
blocked the way, and grudgingly gave
way to the officers only after threats
of severe treatment were made.
/ On finally reaching the mouse and
n breaking in the door of Conellfs room
i they found the mans dead body.

large proportions, and bitter contro-

Most of the TRADE is directed against

used by Mexican editors IN designat-

Among other things, La Patria de-
clares that If Americans think the gov

I'll more enlightened than that OF Mexi-
co, they should journey to those parts
the sooner the better.
After referring to the efforts on the
part of foreigners against the new min

Mexico, the paper says: Eve repeat our
attitude toward foreigners. We are not
boxers, but patriots. and when we take
a given decision we take 1t, not as

and endurance records have landed.
The Pommern landed at 1880 today

A. Leo Stevens, director of the race,
in explaining the failure of the aero

the lifting power of the gas was not as
great as they had counted on. and that
consequently the balloons were unable
to carry near the amount of ballast
necessary for long fight.

Tells of Hppreci-
alton of Great
ness Of Industry
TELEGRAM To PITTSBURG OCCA-
sIONs CONFIDENCE THAT THE
NEXT ADMINISTRATION WILL
BE EFFECTIVELY FRIENDLY.

PITTSBURG. Dec. 5.-An interest
ing telegram from President-elect
Taft was read before the American
Mining congress this morning II
was as follows:
Il am glad of the opportunity TO
express my interest In the important
work which the American Mining
congress is doing on behalf of the
mining industry, and | desire to en-
courage and cooperate In this work
in every possible way
The mining industry in this coun-
try is second only to that of agricul-
ture in its contributions to the ma
tional wealth. II furnishes more than
&c per cent of the total freight
charges of the country and employs
more than million men in its diff
cult and dangerous tasks.
1t deserves all the assistance this
government can render 1t. No coun
try is so rich in natural resources
which make for great and permanent
wealth as is ours. But this eondi-
tion of affairs has helped to develop
inucH Vi WASTE III TIC use VI oui W.
ests, our soils, our minerals and our
other resources.
Lately, however. the public con
science of this country has awakened
TO both the loss of life and the waste
of material in all of our industries
and we must see to il that the result
ant movement il guided aud carried
forward to success.
The telegram was received with
much enthusiasm by the congress
and called a number of speeches from
delegates who took the floor to sup
port the views of the president-elect.
From the telegram the delegates to
the congress gathered the confident
belief that Mr.. Taft will vigorously
sustain the favorable attitude taken
by President Roosevelt toward the
establishment of a bureau of mines
and there is no doubt expressed but
that early in the administration of
Mr.. Taft this bureau will he brought
into existence. The emphatic express
sion of friendship for and apprecia
tion of the mining industry which the
telegram of Mr.. Taft conveys, leads
the delegates to believe that various
matters of legislation which will
come before the next national con-
gress will have the support of the ad
ministration and that this being the
case there will be more done for the
| benefit of the mining industry than
in any previous administration of the
country.
