Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 29-The Porto
Rican planter" as Conrad Danielson was
known on Broadway, tried to end his life
with revolver in the Hotel Carlton,
early this morning, and died in the
Roosevelt Hospital this afternoon
Danielson died without regaining con-
sciousness An operation had been per-
formed for fracture of the skull His
wife was with him when he died, and
| later left the hospital with woman
friend.
In MS apartment at the Carlton, only
after frightening away his wife with two
shots from his pistol, and raising a COM
| motion which brought the Broadway
| crowd to the hotel door, he shot himself.
The sound of shots rang out on the air.
little after midnight, so clear that
Policeman Byrnes, at Broadway and 54th
street, heard them and knew something
had gone wrong. He ran through 54th
street. looking to find street shooting.
When he reached the Hotel Carlton. at
BOB West 54th street. the curiosity seek
ers were already rushing in. Byrnes
turned going into the hotel, but his pres
ence was not pleasing TO the management
whats happened here?' asked Byrnes.
The management told him there was
nothing doing There was no reason why
he should suppose SO. Would he go
away?
Mrs. Danielson Tells.
A woman. much agitated, pressed
through the crowd at that very moment,
and said:
There is something wrong My hus-
band shot himself. And he tried TO shoot
me-"
The woman said that she was the wife
of Planter" Danielson, and that her hus-
band was lying upstairs in their apart
ment at that moment, unattended.
In the Danielsons' rooms the man was
found lying on the floor with bullet
wound in his head. He was still living,
but unconscious. An ambulance took
him to the Roosevelt Hospital, where his
death was thought likely to occur at any
time.
Mrs Danielson said her husband had
grown moody and quarelsome late in the
evening Finally he had got out his re-
volver.
She asked him what he meant to do
with it.. When he did not answer she
threw herself upon him and tried to wiring
1t from his grasp.
Danielson pulled it free. Pointing 1t
toward her he fired two shots that may
have been meant to hurt her or just to
frighten her away. She ran out. AS she
did SO the man shot himself.
Danielson lived IN liberal style since
his appearance about Broadway some
months ago. He said that he was from
Porto Rico. The acquantances he picked
up about town added to this legend
about his owning rich plantations and
lands down there.
AS matter of fact, said those who
knew him somewhat better he was d
much more everyday sort of person, just
employed with a steamship company. He
was at one time connected with the Porto
Rico establishment of the United States
Express Company.

SCHOOL PROFESSOR
"MIXES" WITH BOY
.cHURcHs FERRY HAS a REAL
SENSATION IN ITS High
SCHOOL AFFAIRS.

Churchs Ferry, N. D.. May 25.-Tne
Sun of this city publishes the follow
ing account Of an affair which has
caused considerable excitement among
the citizens:
From high school students wno
witnessed the melee, we are informed
hand to hand fight occurred Nom
day forenoon vin the high school room
between Larkin Flath and the profes-
sor which resulted in each pounding
the other about the head and in the
professor biting Larkin in the fore
arm. The Sun has long contended
that athletics and arithmetic wouldn't
.mix-that is, when a pupil got mis-
head full Of baseball his studies We're
negleeted--and when the great Amer
lean game leads UP to such disgrace
full clashes as that which occurred
saturday and again Monday. 1t is high
time the school board took a hand.
such occurrences as those mentioned
are giving the Churchs Ferry high
school a very unsavory reputation,
and If continued the school will not
only lose its standing among the high
schools of the state, but 1t will be al
most impossible for the school board
to secure the services of teacher OF
any standing.

ldsa-The Tariff is Local Issue, Says
Former National Committeeman.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 25.--A down
ward revision of schedules in accor-
dance with the declaration of the re-
publican platform, with particular
reference to reduction in the rates
on lumber, coal and oil. for the benefit
Of the farmers, and, If possible, pro-
lection for certain agricultural pro-
ducts. That Is Alexander McKenzie's IS
idea OF what ought to be done with
the tariff. FE
The political leader of North Dakota
recently returned from Castle Hot
Springs, Ariz., where he spent several
months recovering from the severe
illness which he suffered here last
winter. He is much improved in health
and expects soon to return to North
Dakota, but for the past few months
says he has been practically dead to
the world. Up to a day or two ago
he had not even read a newspaper,
his physician having advised him that
IL he wanted to get well, he must keep
his mind Off politics.
Agrees With Late General Hancock.
He Is much interested in the tariff
question, however, and although he
professed ingorance Of late develop
ments, he gave expression to his
views on the subject freely. N
"The tariff is local issue" ne said
frankly. You cam get around that
am interested chiefly in what affects
the people of North Dakota They
don't care anything a out the rate on
EPSON saults or Jamaicaa ginger nor
on fruit or tobacco. What they want
Is low rates on coal, lumber and oil.
THE farmers of North Dakota have
to use coal eight and nearly nine
months in the year; very few Of them
are fortunate enough to have gas or
electricity, so they need plenty of oil
and you can scarcely do anything
towards developing a state without
lumber. .., .-,.. .-....... ..-...
"The cities in this part Of the coun-
try are dependent upon the growth OF
the agricultural interests. believe
we should secure protection for our
agricultural products IL we can. In
general am in favor Of downward
revision of the tariff, as promised in
the republican platform"

DO BLIND PIGS PAY?.

From The Edmore Herald: North
Dakota is a prohibition state and no
Intoxicating liquor can be sold in this
state, according to law, only under
a druggist permit. Yet we; know there
is large amount OF both whisky and
beer, of the poorest grade. sold in our
state and we doubt if there is a town
in the state of any size where either
of these intoxicants cannot be pur-
chased contrary to law Some people
favor the sale, and in some towns busi-
ness men argue that 1T is a good thing
to have few places where the farmers
can get the stuff when they come to
town. They say that is they cannot
get it here they will do their trading
in other towns where they can get it.
The question naturally arises: rs 1t
a good thing for a town or the sur
rounding country?'' We claim that it
is not Edmore is no worss than other
towns of it's size in the state as far as
blind pigging is concerned and we
claim that it is much better than most
towns in this respect, but 1t is a fair
example, as it is right at home and
every business man and citizen knows
we'll the conditions. Edmore has been
in existence for about seven years; let
us look around and see what has hap
pened in that time. If we will glance
carefully about we will see that we
have not near as many farmers in this
section as we had five years ago. There
are two reasons for this. One is that
some have become dissatisfied with
their lot and have sold out and gone
to other parts to seek their fortune
but the main thing is that blind pie
whisky and 35-cent beer has caused
the ruination of many farmers In this
section and they have lost their farms
through drink and have been compelled
| to leave. We believe that you car
point to at least twenty farmers tribu-
tary to Edmore who have lost theii
| farms simply through booze, and as
many more whose craving for strong
drink have so impaired their credi
| that no business man cares to tPus'
them. Had these farmers been unable
| to spend their money for liquor they
might have been fairly prosperous ant
| in all probability would be farming
there today and purchasing goods ant
merchandise from the business men o
Edmore. AS 1t is they have gone ant
lit leaves us with SO many less farmer
and so much less business to the bust
Eness men of Edmore Now, as a mat
ter of fact has not the ruination an,
lloss OF these twenty farmers to thi
locality been Of more damage to ou
town than the benefit that one or
dozen blind pigs could offset by bring
ling trade here as might be claimed b,
some people? If a man goes to
town to trade because 1t has blind pig
and he can buy liquor there, we main
tain that in the long run he would b
d mighty poor man for town Fact
land figures win bear out the statemeu
that blind pigs are a detriment rathe
Ithan a benefit to a town. You neve
heard OF farmer purchasing q farf
lin j certain locality because there wer
lblind pigs near at hand.
