The johnson celebration at Lichfeld was the
occasion Of much genuine enthusiasm In towns
people and visitors. The conclusion of Lord
Rosebery's address on the hero of the bicen-
tenary is quoted as it's most eloquent passage:
There is a human majesty about him which com
mands our reverence. for we recognize IN MIN d
great Intellect a1ge heart, noble soul he hNed
under grievous tOrmentS in dread OF doubt IN
dread of Madness in terror of death, yet ne never
hinched He stood four square to mis- own genera
tion as he stands TO posterity. We salute
once more with reverence to-day the memory CI
that brave, manly, tender soul, and pass on with
the hope that from his abundant store we may
draw some measure of faith and courage TO sustain
lives
That Lichfeld has something more than nj
full reverence for the memory of her greatest
son is shown in a little municipal ceremony that
occurs every year. The Mayor and the Town
Council always meet al the Johnson house on

William G. Dudley came to Ia

Prior to coming to Tacoma he

OPEN RUPTURE IN

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Demands of
the admiralty for six new battle
ships of the Dreadnaught type to
cost 100000 have precipiated
a crisis in the British cabinet to-
day.
The daily press has taken up
the matter and the Daily Chroni-
Gle, while predicting that the cab
met will not fall to pieces, says
that rumors of impending resigna-
tions affect the portfolios held by
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of
the exchequer; Winston Spencer
Churchill, president Of the board
of trade; Lord Morley, secretary
of state for India, and John Burns,
president of the local government
board.
The Daily Mail announces that
the struggle in the cabinet is ex-

moment result in an open rupture
Premier Asquith, Foreign Sec
rotary Grey and War Secretary

the Cause.

8EATTLE, Fep. 5.-W. s. Duo
ley and Alex 8. Smith, special
policemen working as night
Watchmen for the Northern Pa
cific railroad, fought a deadly pis-
tol duel in the company's freight
sheds on Second av. south yester-
day afternoon shortly after a
o'clock.
Smith was killed instantly. Dud-
ley was shot twice. One bullet
struck him In the face below and
Forward Of the lower lobe of the
left car. The ball ranked back
ward and severed one of the ar
teries at the base Of the tongue,
then lodged in the back of the
neck. Another bullet struck him
In the left hand. DIR. Park w.
Willis, who attended him, report
Cd to the police that he would be
out in few days.
Smith was shot just above the
heart, through the right hand and
three or four times through the
right leg. Smith was using a
common .38-caliber revolver. Dud-
ley was armed with a .32-caliber
automatic. When the duel was
over Dudley had emptied it, firing
eight shots. Smith fired four
shots from his revolver.

Dudley, who Is 40 years old, has

living In Tacoma at 81 East Goth
ST., but recently left there. He
had been employed as a Waterman
and as a special agent for the
Northern Pacific for little more

for years been a private and police
detective. He had lived in Seattle
for about three years. With his
son, Frank c. Smith, West Seattle
superintendent of the Independent
Telephone company, he lived at
621 Blanchard street.
Jealousy Cause of Shooting
Although the causes behind the
shooting affray are vague, both
police and coroner believe that a
dispute following the arrest of
two brakemen charged with theft
OF freight led to the shooting Both
principals in the pistol duel were
instrumental in getting the brake
men and there was some jealousy

question of cost of transportation
is the only one that stands in the
way of the councils approval.
The bell will have to be care

it is probable that many side trips
