Incidents In the Career OF Joseph E.
Chamberlain, Great Unionist Leader.
Joseph f. Chamberlain was until his
retirement a great Unionist leader in
British politics. He early became
known for his radical opinions and
was in turn councilman and mayor Of
birmingham and on the return of the
Liberals in 1856 was made president
of the board of trade, with seat in
the cabinet
Mr.. Chamberlain achieved great prom
Grafton of the masses. which included
the restitution" of land and the ran
som" of property. He succeeded in
passing the bankruptcy bill: he advo-
Gated the readjustment of taxation,
free schools and creation of allotments
by compulsory purchase.
He resigned from the Office of presi-
dent of the government board in
March, 1856. one month after he had
taken the office, as outcome of his op-
position to the Gladstone party and
particularly the Gladstone home rule
policy for Ireland.
Lord Salisbury. as prime minister,
sent him to the United States as COM
missioner in the Canadian fisheries
disputes, and later be was made co.
lonial minister. His chief ambition
during the period he held this office
was to bind closer, If possible, the col
Onies to England. He succeeded in
many instances.
In 1883 he married Mary Endicott
daughter of William G. Endicott, sec.
retary of war in Cleveland's first term
the colonies in 1903 because of his pro
tariff views.

MYSTERY IN THE TRAGEDY
Eyewitness Says Murderer Is Negro
but Relatives Of Deceased Think
White Man Committed Crime.
Neiahborhood Aroused.

Houston. Texas, April l3.--Just
after he emerged from the Gano
street entrance to the Southern Pa
eific shops between and 1880
o o'clock last night, Jacob Gross, a
young man who resided with his par
ents at 171S Montgomery avenue.
was shot twice from behind by an
unknown assailant and instantly
killed.
Mrs. Pearl Doyle, residing on IIar-
dy street, was the only eye witness.
She ls very positive that the
shooting was done by a negro, who
made his escape by running west
through the railroad yards. The rel
atives and friends of the young man,
however, are inclined to take a diff
ferent view of the shooting, many of
them having expressed the belief
that the shots were fred by white
man. This belief is based upon cir
cumstances which developed and
transpired before the tragedy.
The reports of the pistol which
put an end to the career of young
Gross were heard for several blocks
around the place where the shooting
happened, but nothing was thought
of them until the news of the killing
spread around the neighborhood.

Highest Federal Tribunal Declares
State Receiver Eckhard, Proper
Custodian Of Affairs in State.
Interest Increases Fine.

Washington. April IA few
minutes after the United states su.
preme court went into session al
! noon yesterday chief Justice Fuller
sent into the office Of the clerk of
the court a brief note announcing
that the petitions for rehearing In
the three Waters-Pierce oil cases
from Texas are denied by the court.
This Is the last step and the last
delay for which the oil company can
hope in It's efforts to stave off the
executions of the decree of the Tray
is county district court in assessing
a fine of $l,623,500, and ordering
the cancellation of the defendant s
permit to do business in the state,
except as to It's interstate business.
II also marks the end of the COM
pany's struggle against the state
receiver Robert p. Eckhardt, taking
charge OF the property and the as
sets of the Waters-Pierce OIL Com
pany In Texas. The clerk of the Uni
ted States supreme court now stands
ready to issue the mandate compell-
ing the payment of the big fine, the
company's withdrawal from the
business and the surrender of Its
property to the state receiver when
ever the state of Texas makes TO the
clerk request for the mandate.
There IL little formality connect
ed with the denial OF petition for
rehearing In the supreme court. 1t
Is not announced in open court or
made the subject ofsaAs comment by
any member of the court, After the
Judge has read petition for re-
hearing and has decided to refuse 1t,
the chief justice at the following
Mondays session of the court sends
n memorandum to the clerk announ-
cling that the petition has been de-
MED and the clerk then announces
the fact to the attorneys concerned
ia the case. That was the course fol-
lOWtu ytSteIuhy III Nh' 'Niu9"' W N"N
petition OF the Waters-Pierce.
The decision from which the oil
company sought to appeal was rem
dered on January is.
The main decision was In case No
$50, In which the Waters-Pierce Oil
company appealed from the verdict
assessing the Ane Of $1,623,5oo and
ousting the company from intrastate
business.
The interest and other costs In the
case will bring the amount of this
fine In the neighborhood OF $1,So0,-
900 according to the statement OF
the company's attorneys In the brief
for rehearing.
