CHIEF GERONIMO DEAD Ar rs
Noted Apache Had Been Prisoner

Lawton. Okla.-Geronimo the Apache
chief, died Of pneumonia today at Fort
Sill, where he had been United States
prisoner for twenty-one years. He was
rs years Of age.
Chief Geronimo is survived by his
eighth wife, whom he married only two
years ago.
When near TO death some time ago,
Geronimo said;

God who has made me man ft for
heaven, 10 spare my life for few years
longer-to spare IL until am freed from
custody and see my people in free

ers and settlers of the Southwest. This
hslf-breed Mexican, who was captured
with the Apaehes during one of their
raids and was adopted by them, learned
TO fight when he was 10 years old and
later proved the cruelest and most blood.

Washington.-By vote Of 173 90
III, the house today passed the bill
removing the bar to Senator Knox's
eligibility for the office of secretary Of
state. This was the second vote of
the day on this measure, and the two
were separated only by about two hours
time. The first vote was taken on the
bill under general order for the sus-
pension of the rules, but under that
order, according to the standing rules
of the house, a bill must receive two
thirds majority 90 insure its passage
The first vote stood 179 to 1923, the ma
jority thus falling considerably below
the two-thirds requirement.

nounced, the house committee on rules
held a meeting, which resulted in Mr.
Dalzell bringing in a rule making il in
order for the house 10 again take up
the bill and act upon it under oondi-
tons which would require only ma
jority vote TO pass IL.

wrangle.

Louisville, Ky.-A spirited wrangie
was precipitated in the Anti-Saloon
League convention at the Coliseum
Thursday afternoon, when resolution
was submitted to send TO the legislature
of Tennessee congratulations on the ac-
ton in passing Statewide prohibition
law. 1t was also proposed to send
message of censure to Gov. Patterson
for his refusal to approve the action OF
the legislature.
State Superintendent West and Presi-
dent Beauchamp led a victorious light
against the measure. No little feeling
was aroused, but the wave of trouble
soon rolled into condition of placidity.

mends that the governor and mayor

SIDE IN COOPER TRIAL.
Pistol Holster Found in Pocket OF
Dead Senator'S overcoat Who
Placed 1t There.

Nashville, Tenn.-Absence Of some
State witnesses and desire on the part
Of the defense TO arrange it, plan Of
procedure caused an adjournment until
Saturday in the Cooper-Sharp trial for
the murder of former senator +. W.
Carmack The state first announced
that il rested its case in chief. When
the defense asked until saturday to pre-
pare. and the continuance was granted,
Acknowledgement McCarn announced
that some missing witnesses would be
here BY that time, and that he would
offer their testimony.
The State has satisfied itself with Of
fering testimony to prove that Senator
Carmack was slain by Robin J. and Dun
can b. Cooper, that John Sharp, when
he heard the shots, knew what they
were without looking around, and that
prior to the killing several conferences
had been held This, the State contends,
laws the foundation for proof of con-
spiraey.
The State stops here and waits for
the defense to offer its case. Attorney.
General McCarn has subpoenaed sixty
four witnesses, and has used scarcely
score. The others will be held in reserve
for rebuttal. The defense has not is
sued summons, but says its witnesses
will be present without court process.
By not issuing subpoenas it prevents the
State from knowing its witnesses
names.
The only incident of Thursdays tes-
timony was the States attempt TO prove
by Implication that the pistol holster
found in the dead senator's overcast
pocket was put there by one of the at
torneys for the defense, when, few
weeks ago he went to the morgue and
tried on the overcoat. Two witnesses
testified it was not in the pocket when
the senator was killed. It was found
in the pocket by Gen. Washington of
counsel for the defense, when he tried
ON the overcoat.

lAFOllETTE DENOUNCED.
Penrose Declares He Is Tired Of
Wisconsan's Claptrap.

Washington.-The postofIice bill, car
rying appropriations of over S232 .O00-
900, was passed by the senate Thurs
day, after a very stormy debate, during
which Senator Penrose. in charge Of
the measure, made an angry assault
upon Senator LaFollette, who had en-
tered into a general criticism Of the
senate committees because Of what he
termed their unwarranted delay in re-
porting great appropriation bills.
MFR. LaFolette had at length chided
the senate with permitting a glut Of inn
portant legislation to be disposed Of in
haste during the last days Of congress.
Responding in angry tones, Mr.. PEN
rose charged the senator from Wiscon-
sin with having failed to attend meet
ings of committees of which he was a
member, finally declaring that his criti-
cism sounded more like the arguments
made by a vendor of a patent medicine
from the tail door of a cart in the VIII
lagos of Wisconsin than those OF .
senator Of the United States.

plowed its way through thin linen into
human flesh, might be overlooked.

that night, told his story. lie traced
the course of each of the three bullets,
showed how each had entered the body
and how it had left Il, and handed 20
the jury the crimsoncd undershirt and
the top shirt with its small faint sign
OF blood. The collar was likewise ex-
hibited, indicating just where the neck
wound was received and how big a
wound il was. This was the sensational
incident Of the days proceedings.

trail theme Of discussion with the gall
lery. II was the melodramatic eNhibi-
ton that the morbidly curious had
waited for. The sight seemed to revive
