Robert William Fitzpatrick
Invited Fatal Fight

Robert William Fitzpatrick. a Weil
known contractor and builder, died al
the central emergency hospital yester-
dav morning as the result of injuries
sustained during a fight with Lloyd u.
Brubaker a United Railroads employe.
Brubaker was arrested yesterday art
ernoon by Detectives Bunner and Freel
and confessed that he struck the blow
which caused FitzpatriclS's death, but
asserts that il was in self-defense.
The entire affair is shrouded in mys-
terry and yesterday the police were un-
able TO find any one who witnessed the
scenes which led up TO the fatal fight.
Brubaker's story TO the police was that
he had been attending the third an
nual encampment of the Rough Riders
Of California at the Chutes and was
on his way home riding on Fill
more street car, when he met Fitz-
patrick Brubaker told the detectives
that he was garbed in the costume OF
cowboy and that Fitzpatrick taunted
him and made insulting remarks to
him for several blocks. Heated words
were exchanged between the two men
and Brubaker declared that Fitzpat-
rick struck at him while in the car.
He also stated that his alleged tor
menter invited him TO leave the car
and "fght it OUT in the street.
FATAL FIGHT IN STREET
The two men left the car at Haight
street and began TO fight. few sec
onds later Fitzpatrick was seen to fall
to the pavement after he had been
struck on the head. Brubaker then
ran away and returned 10 the Chutes-
witnesses to the street fight gave
the police a good description of Bru-
baker and he was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Detectives Bunner and
Freel as he was on his way TO work.
At first he denied all knowledge of
the affair and asserted that he had
been at the Chutes until midnight Sat
urday.
After rigid questioning Brubaker
broke down and confessed to the de-
tectives that he struck Fitzpatrick.
When searched at the police station it
was found that he carried a loaded
blackjack, and the detectives believe
that was the weapon used on Fitz-
patrick
The physician at the central emer-
gency hospital stated that Fitzpatrick
had been struck with a blunt instru-
ment The injured man was uncOn-
scious when taken to the hospital and
never regained consciousness. His
death occurred at 1920 yesterday morn
ing
ACCUSED WAS BRUISED
Brubaker has a badly discolored eye
and says that il was caused by a blow
from the FIST of Fitzpatrick and that
II was delivered in the car.

THE SENATE.

Washington. May S.-Little progress was made in the senate today on the agricultural appropriation bill. the ses- sion being devoted to the discussion upon the principle of forest reserves and the administration of the service. Mir Teller concluded his remarks in opposition to lump sum appropriation of S5O0.OO0 for a further development of the forest reserve system.
 MessrS. Nelson of Minnesota and Deliver of Iowa spoke in support of the reserve service. Mir McCumber chairman of the committee of pensions. called the attention of the senate to the deadlock among the cOnferees on pension appropriation bill. the sen ate amendment requiring cOntinu- ance of the present system of having the funds disbursed through eight pen sion agencies, located throughout the country instead of through a single agency located at Washington. Many of the senators expressed a desire that the conferees should insist on the sen ate amendment.
 A resolution was introduced by Burk- cit naming May IS. as Mothers day" ard suggesting that al senators and other officials of the senate wear a white flower in honor of that day.

son. who told of conversation. in which Lampherc declared his ability to get money and clothing from the woman. According to COlson, Lam phere said d few days before the fire of April 2S: 'I made her get down on her knees last night. I am going to make her get down tonight unless she comes up with some money. I know things about her that would raise an awful row if they were told. She bought me this suit of clothes I am wearing, but she does not like to come up with the coin. That is what I need and must have
 It is Smiths theory that Lamphere gained knowledge of the means by which Andrew Helgelein was done to death:, that the prisoner attempted to use that knowledge to eXtort money from the woman; that she became terror stricken at his threats and un- dertook series of prosecutions against him which resulted in his trial before a lunacy commission. and in his being thrice arrested at her bl- tiSation: that Lamphere attempted to wreak vengeance upon her for these actions and for her refusal to give him money or continue the relations which existed between them prior to the ap- pearance here in January of Helge- lein; that the fire of the Guinness home was started by Lamphere but that he had no idea of causing the deaths Of Mrs. Guinness and her children.
 The laws of Indiana. however. pro- vide that arson resulting in death shall be considered as murder in the first degree even though the fatal outcome of the first crime is not premeditated. It is under this statute that Lamphere is to be tried
 Mrs. Leo Greening today told the prosecutor that the night before Jen- nie Olsen disappeared her son Emil who had been employed at the farm had seen two strangers there One of the strangers he told his mother was man dressed in women's clothes He said further that Mrs. Guinness eN- plained her presence by saying that they were a professor and his wife from a school in California to which she was about to send Miss O,sen. Mrs. Greening said the couple arrived at the farm after dark but that they and Miss Olsen had gone when her son arose early the next morning. Mrs Guinness told him the trio had taken a late night train for the west Green ing started to work at the farm as chore boy in November, 1906. Two weeks later the mysterious couple came there. He left the employ of Mrs. Guinness a few months later and went to Oklahoma City.

first book of Kipling. The list could
be extended, not only to include many
names of living authors. but to apply
to matters written by men after they
achieved fame. These things are sort
of a comfort to the unfortunate author
who with difficulty gets a hearing. He
is apt to think that he has a prize and
that the editors or readers are stupid.
He thinks that publishers are not after
works of high merit, but want big
names only.
On the contrary, every publisher is
anxious to get any work that is meri-
torious and will sell. But on what
ground shall he decide? His readers"
have to use their judgment which is
often at fault, in what they select, and
probably equally SO in what they re-
ject. 1t Is said that the average profit
in these days on the copy of a novel is
two cents. averaging bad and good SELL
ers. The man who can invent system
which will let publishers know what
win sell and what will not can make
an immense fortune. But this may be
looked upon as an impossibility and the
same conditions in this field will prob
ably maintain until the end of time.
