ANSWER FOR DEATH

SON, DEFENDER OF MOTHER,
IDENTIFIES.

New York, July 9.-Two shoeless
and the thigh by bullets, were held
by the police charged with the murder
of Mrs. Sophia Staber, wife of George
Staber, a New York importer, in
whose residence ct FlatDush, Long Is
land, there occurred a battle with
burglars early yesterday, in which
Mrs. Staber met her death. The men
admitted thai they were implicated in
the burglary but, at first, denied any
part in the murder. They say they
are Carlo Giro an Austrian, and John
Smith The latter was the one
wounded. He was operated upon last
night and physicians said he might
not live, and urged him to tell the
whole truth. He admitted, the police
say, that it was q bullet from his
pistol, discharged in struggle with
Mrs. Staber's son, George, who came
to her rescue, that killed her. Giro
was picked up first after the burglary
while trying to beg or buy pair of
shoes to replace those which he had
removed while entering the house.
Smith was found hidden and bleeding,
about a nile from the Staber house.
Two pairs of shoes found by the Sta
bers on their front steps, the men
acknowledged were theirs. George
Staber, the son, has identified both
men as those who entered the house.

Louis Pyung and
HIS Gr2at Gift to Art

Louis PTang, the so-called father
of acknowledgement who died a
few days ago at Glendale, a suburb of
Los Angeles, was in his eighty-sixth
year. He was on his way to the
Seat lie exposition. Mr.. Prang was
born in Breslau, Germany, and for the
part he took in the revolutionary
movement in 1S4S was forced TO leave
that country. He came to the United
States in 1850, settling in Boston
There he became successfully an en-
graver On wood, photographer, and a
publisher, making a specially of
color printing, especially the repro
duotion of famous paintings under
his trademark of ''Chromos. His pro-
ductora became world famous.
The prize competition offered by
Mr.. Prang for the best originals for
Christmas cards by a-er-color artists,
created wide in crest in artistic cir
Giles and was the beginning of the
fashion CT sending chromos at holt
day time. HIS reproductions of the
Tiffany gems and of the jades and
vases in the Bishop and Walters col
locticns, were acknowledged to be the
finest specimens of photographic work
eve. done in this country.
Mr. Prang retired from active bust
ness in 1899. He devoted more thar
forty years to the study of how to
crea..e a standard of colors, a problem
thss had puzzled science for centuries.
He was president of the Prang Educa-
ticnal company of this city, and the
author Of several works touching his
profession, the most important being
the Prang Standard of Color.
G. H. Buck of Brooklyn, tells to the
art side of Mr.. Prang:
mot only was he enraptured with
art. but he had a marvellous under
standing of, and appreciation for, the
highest and best art No man was
more fully abreast with the times, and
nc man was more considerate in his
dealings with artists than he. Always

frank, aggressive, and even severe in
his criticisms, they were made in so
helpful and kindly manner that they
left no sting, and | believe it can
truthfully be said that every artist
who has had the benefit of Mr.. Prang's
criticisms has been the better for it.
"As a public educator in art, he was

artists. boyh of this country and Eu-
rope Ct speak now of these most accu-
rate and wonderful reproductions of
twenty and thirty years ago., he
brought the best art into homes that
otherwise would have had to be con-
ert with a more expensive and yet
far inferior class of picture Those
who have travelled in this country
have met the Prang reproductions in
full and artistic Christmas cards, in
homes of all conditions and classes of
people, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, and wherever they are found to-
day, they are as sincerely appreciated,
ard justly so, as when first published
Il am firmly of the belief that Mr.
Prang has dore more to educate the
American people in art and in the
beautiful than have all the exhibitions
of cur great galleries and museums
during the past genera. ion. do not
think il is saying too much when i say
that Mr.. Prang has been a public
benefactor, in the cense that he has
urconsciously educated and refined
the artistic sense of the American
people.
What he has done for TYPOGRAPHY
in this country (and | can say for
photography in Europe as well) can
hardly be estimated. His standard
has always been of the highest, and
while he was in active business he
practically had no competitors A
fitting monument should certainly be
erected to him, who has sweetened
and beautified the American home"

ton was taken On Mr.. McLaurin's
amendment placing on the free list
carpenters. and blacksmiths' tools and
farmers implements.
Mr.. Beveridge took the floor to pre-
sent proposition relative to tin plate.
It was intended to make the draw
back provision of the bill imperative
so far as it applies to tin plate. Mr..
Beveridge explained that within u
wears the Standard Oil company had
paid s20.000,000 in duties on tin plate
and at.terwafd, upon making 1t into
oil cans for export, had had that vast
amount returned to it as drawback.
Il dc not Offer this amendment be-
cause of prejudice against Standard
oil or because of its unpopularlty,
explained Mr.. Beveridge.
He was moved to take this action,
he said. purely as measure OF pro-
lection to promote the tin plate IN
dustry.
Suggesting that without the draw
hacx feature, it had been claimed that
the Standard Oil would can its Oil

TROUBLE BREWING

CRITICAL CONDITION OF AZ
FAIRS I'M REPUBLIC, ACCORD
ING TO MAIL ADvIcEs.

FORTS, RIVER BOATS AND
CUSTOM HOUSES.

Guayaquil, Ecuador, July 9.-Ad
vices from Colombia state that a
revolution is brewing in the depart
ment of Cauca, and that within a few
days all of the southern part of Co
lombia will be in arms.
Parties Disorganized.
Panama, July 9.-Mail advices re-
ceived from Colombia report a very
critical condition of affairs in that re
public. AS a result of the depart
ure of President .Reys for Europe va
rious political parties. which a few
months ago seemed to. be united, are
now completely disorganized, and
there are indications that Colombia
is on the verge of great revolution.
The movement July fourth at Bar
ranquilla was successful, the revolu.
onists capturing the forts, Magda-
lena river boats and custom houses.
About 80 per cent. of the importations
into Colombia pass through Barran-
quilla so the revolutionists do not
lack for funds.
No advices have been received here
as to how the movement mas been ac-
cepted by the rest of Colombia but
there are runors that serious sit
uation exists at Bogota. There is a
rumor also that certain influential Co
lombians are publicly IN favor of con-
shutting new republic to be formed
of the departments of Cauca and
Antioquia and part of Bolivar.
