DOU BILE TRAGEDY.
Man and Woman Found Dead From
 Bullet Wounds.

Greenfield, Mass, October 2S.-A double tragedy surrounded by mysteri- ous circumstances, occurred here to- night, Benjamin F. Gaines, 39 years old, and Miss Harriet Mabel Wing, 10 years younger, were found dying from bullet wounds, at Miss Wings iboarding house. Both died without making a statement. The police expressed the opinion that Gaines shot the young woman and then killed himself, but no reason for the shooting is known.
 Miss Jennie Reed, while passing from the house, heard groans anu upon in- vestigation found the bodies of Gaines and Miss Wing,
 The latter was lying on the ground near the piazza, where she had probably fallen when shot, and that of Gaines was hanging over the piazza railing. A revolver was also found on the piazza. Miss Wing had three bullet wounds in her right breast.
 Gaines and Miss Wing had been seen frequently in each others company. Their acquaintances knew of no quar- rel.
 Gaines was an inspector of work at machine shop. Miss Wing was a sales girl in local department store.

LUKE WRIGHT SPEAKS.
War Secretary Discusses Effect of War
 On Politics.

Richmond, October 2S.-Before a large audience at the Academy of Music tonight Secretary Luke E. Wright spoke on the issues of the campaign and in favor of the candidacy of Judge Taft. John Skel- ton Williams, former president of the Seaboard Air Line. who introduced MT. Wright, announced that he would vote for MT Taft, saying that Virginia's new constitution has so purified the electorate as to remove all fears of the negro vote. Secretary Wright, in his speech, declared that in ante-bellum days the men of the south in public debate freely discussed policies and principles. After the war local conditions vitally affecting their welfare seemed, irrespective pf national considerations, to require their adherence to the democratic party. While these conditions no longer exist the large ma jority of the substantial men of the south, he said, rather from force of habit or from prejudice continued to vote the democratic ticket without reference to the measures it proponded or the men it presented as candidates. This, he added, has been unfortunate for the south To- cally and in national politics the result has been still worse.

SUFFRAGETTES NEARLY DRIVE
 BRITISH LAWMAKERS MAD

London, October 28.-Suffragette dis to the unusual course of temporarily closing the strangers and ladies gal leres in the House of Commons. This was announced by the speaker in re- sponse to a question from Premier As quith and MT. Balfour, the leader of journing tonight.
 During the evening, while the house was discussing the licensing bill a sensation was caused by the display of a placard and sudden shrill cries from the ladies gallery demanding votes for women, while simultaneously a bundle of hand bills huttered down from the strangers gallery at the op posite end of the chamber, and man shouted protests against injustice to women."
 Attendants hurried to the galleries and the male offender was uncermoni- ously elected, but from the ladies' gal lery sounds were heard of a desperate struggle. Two suffragettes had firm ly chained themselves to the grille and resisted for time all efforts at re- moval. crying continuously in shrili tones their demands for votes
 The scene was watched with amaze ment from the floor of the house, but finally the suffragettes were dragged from their posts and removed, but only after portions of the grille were re- moved with them.
 Ten minutes later there was another dramatic scene, man in the strang- CTS gallery flinging another bundle of bills down upon the house and shout ing: Why don't you give women votes and relieve the unemployed?"
 Attendants rushed upon him. but ne resisted fercely the attempt made to carry him bodily from the gallery. After a desperate struggle, the attend ants succeeded in ejecting the man. About the same time, large body of suffragettes made a demonstration out side the parliament buildings and 15 of them were arrested

ROOSEVELT WRITES ANOTHER
 LETTER ID HELP JUDGE TAFT

New York, October 28.-President Roosevelt has sent to c. B. Wolfram, editor of the New York Herald. a let ter praising W. H. Taft and Governor Hughes, and predicting the success of Taft and the governors reelection The letter, which was made public here, follows:
 October 27,190S.
 My Dear MT. Wolffram-I thank you for your remembrance of my birthday.
 will you let me take this oppor- tunity to thank you in return for the admirable work you are doing for clean and honest government by your support of Taft and Hughes. I have profound faith in the good sense and conscienti- ous devotion to duty, and to high ideals of my fellow members of German birth or German parentage. I am certain that they will vote right if only the facts can be clearly presented to them; and thanks largely to your efforts the facts are thus being clearly presented.
 MT. Taft stands in the nation and MT. Hughes stands in the state for that high order of governmental efficiency and that high standard of governmental honesty, the union of which is abso- lutely essential in order to secure good government
 Each adheres, and has always ad- hered in public and private life, to the most infexible standard of honesty and fair dealing as between man and man. Each represents what is best in American citizenship. Not one word of any kind can be truthfully said against | the private or public character of either.
 Each has the broadest sympathies for his fellow citizens-for I need hard ly say that the accusations that Gov ernor Hughes is narrow and illiberal man are preposterously false. believe that the victory of the one in the na- ton and the other In the state is as- sured by overwhelming majorities, and thank you for the way in which, by your efforts, you have contributed to bring about this result.
 With all regard, believe me, sin cerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

composed mostly of Italians at Lafayette

composed mostly of Italians at Lafayette street, Mr. Taft said
 q think that you know. as Italian cit izens, that Bryan is given to cant and facetiousness. That lets him out The will and desire of the people have shown that they want republican government and not Bryanism as it is understood by the intelligent class. I say that be- cause I know the Italian-American peo- pie are the ones who have appreciated to it's fullest extent the advantages of our system of education.
 "I ask your support if simply for the purpose of defeating Bryan's new bank ing law Such law would tear down the foundation of our present laws. If you want to pay the debt of your neigh bor because the cashier of another bank, in which you have no deposit absconds, vote against me; if you want sound bank ing laws I ask your support. If you believe in the Roosevelt regime vote for me-"
 In an address at Astor Place MT. Taft declared that no man anywhere has more sympathy with the man that labors with his hands that has he.
 "They say that when was on the bench I issued injunctions against la- bor?" said he.
 You never did, came voice from the crowd.
 "Yes, didr' shouted Judge Taft; ives, I did! I issued them against anyone against labor or against business where the plaintiff showed he was entitled to one-and if they had not been issued some one would have been hurt"
 This retort was greeted with a tremen- dous outburst of cheering. Judge Taft said the most serious issue in this cam paign Ifs the attack on the courts being made by Bryan and Gompers."
 At meeting in Union Square Judge Taft denounced the democratic plan of guaranteeing bank deposits
 He was followed at that meeting by Governor Hughes, who paid a warm trib- ute to the republican presidential candi- date, whom he described as "the man Of the hour, and all there"

CURTIS IS TRYING
 ID DESERT MORSE Former Partner Of Ice King Gives Testimony In Court KICKED ON 0VERDRAFTS Witness States That He Protested to Morse About Allowing Accounts
 to Be overdrawn, But His
 Protests Failed.
KICKED ON oVERDRAFTS

New York, October 2S-The apparent de- termination of Alfred H. Curtis to exon- crate himself of all blame respecting the banking transactions for which he and Charles W. Morse are now undergoing trial in the United States district court here became more defined today when under the prompting of his attorney MT. Curtis produced letter written by him under date of June 13 1907, and addressed to Morse, in which he protested vigorous ly against the continuance of practices instituted by the latter, which in Curtis opinion constituted grave menace to the stability of the Bank of North America.
 The incident of the overdraft of s2l0,0oO by Morse as variously testified to, was made by the subject of searching ques- tions by the witness own attorney. MT. Curtis related the coming of F. Augustus Heinze to him for loan of S26000, and his refusal to grant the accommodation. Morse remonstrated with him, saying, Unless we let them have the money they must go to the wall
 Curtis stood firm, however, he said, and retorted: They cannot have d cent of the banks money; if they must fail, they must fail"
 But to his amazement, he testified, a personal check of Charles w. Morse for s126,000, drawn to the order of Heinze, came through the next day. The check had been honored, although at the time' the witness said, Morse had balance to his credit of only $S1oO.
 ''I at once went to MT. Morse,'' the wit ness said, "and told him that he must protect the bank and at once wipe out this oyerdraft. MT. Morse sent out and got two boxes of securities and turned over their contents to me. l told him that the securities he of- fered were insufficient, and he of- fered to give me an order on $i,ooo,0oo of steamship bonds, which he had on deposit in London. accepted the offer and upon being given the order at once cabled to London to have the securities held sub feet to the Bank Of North Americas or der'
 The witness was then turned over to
  proved to be a oss-examination. De- spite the efforts of Morse's attorneys to present Curtis in the light of free agent. who at all times was not under the control of Morse, the witness persisted in maintaining his contention that he was ttut the instrument of anothers will and purpose.
 q never made a dollar through any speculation in any of the enterprises up- on which the bank was loaning money" said he q earned my salary and that was all. The bank was my life's business and I worked for it conscientiously and faithfully"
 An adjournment was taken until tomor- row, when MT. Curtis will be further questioned.

TSCHA|KOvSKY IS LIBERATED
 AFTER LONG IMPRISONMENT

St. Petersburg, October 2S.-After an imprisonment of II months and five days Nicholas Tschaikovsky, the Russian revo- lutionist, was released this afternoon on s25.0Oo ball, pending trial. Tonight he Is spending happy evening with his family and intimate friends.
 Tschaikovsky remains under police sur veilance and will, therefore, be unable to go abroad immediately, as he expected the authorities having inserted a stipula- tion in his bond that he shall not leave St. Petersburg without permission. Au- thorization, however, has been granted him to visit his aged mother in Kazan province, and he hopes later to be all lowed to return to England. When he was seen directly after his release M TschaikovslSy dictated the following state ment:
 'I am deeply touched at the messages of sympathy which have reached me time and again from my American friends. These show that the world has not for gotten me during my long Imprisonment. l realize that this sympathy is more for my country and the cause than for my self but I rejoice that have furnished the occasion for such a manifestation of public interest in Russian liberty as evinced by the petitions for my release. l regret that shall be unable to visit America before my trial, but hope after that to return and thank my friends in a more direct manner"
 M. Tschaikovsky does not attempt to conceal the fact that he is member of rhe revolutionary party, but he denies viz orously any criminal activity during his stay in Russia, when he visited many parts of the country, merely to satisfy himself as to the prevailing conditions. He declares that the police have been unable to fix a single illegal act upon him except the possession of false pass port
