DEATH CAUSE
FOR FOUR

,,PITTSBURG, KY, Dec. ga
triple murder and suicide occurred
in this mining village today, when
William Murray a miner, shot and
killed his wife and her mother and
Elbert Cole and himself. Murray's
objections to the alleged attentions
of Cole to Mrs. Murray are given as
the cause of the crime.
Cole, who was son of Assistant
Mine Inspector Perry G. Cole, was
% year old. He was manager of a
general store, in which ne was slain.
Murray entered the store and
without word shot Cole to death.
Although several persons were in
the store none made move to ap-
prehend Murray, and he went to his
home nearby and shot his mother
in-law as she was leaving the house.
Murray then shot his wife, who
was returning from a visit to a
neighbor. He dragged his wife with
in the yard, laid her dying beside
the boly of her mother and fired a
bullet through Mrs. Murray's heart.
He then shot himself and fell be-
tween the women's bodies.

RICHARD COT LIVELY Home
FROM BIG CROWD
Says Salt Lake Gets Fight if Makes
Good BY h5th.s-Big Profits Certain

Tex Rickard, the "big talk" of the
pugilistic world, the hero of a
thousand levies, the social lion OF
Salt Lake, and the man who put one
over the plate when 1t came to roll
ing up the biggest bit Of pdgilistic
pie that was ever served, returned
home last night. Tex is looking
more imposing than when last seen
here, just a month ago. He has
gained in weight. While abroad he
quit chewing tobacco, and that help
ed some. He says that it is decided
ly not en- regale to MUNICH the quid
in the effete east, and so he quit
the fad of the woolly west, but now
that he is home again, he may cheat
a little bit.
Tex may be tempted to take the
stump in the next campaign, for
since his departure he has devel-
oped into an after dinner speaker,
and before breakfast talker. On
the way out from New York they
used to hold his car up to have him
talk on the prospects of having the
Jim Jeffries-Jack Johnson fight.
1t was an enthusiastic throng
that cheered the hero of the big fight
as he stepped from the train at the
Ely depot last night. A private car
riage was in waiting, the only car
riage, private or public, in the
town, but the great fight promoter,
with true democracy, preferred the
hotel bus that went straight to the
Northern hotel. And amid the
cheers of the populace, he rode along
through the main street. In the
hotel lobby was another throns
gathered, composed of the principal
men of the city. Mayor Mcdonald
had been called to Salt Lake In the
morning, but City Clerk Will Stew
art was there to represent him. In
the crowd were bankers, brokers,
newspapermen, merchants, miners
and leading sports of the town.
Old Pards was there, with his muz-
zle off, and he barked a joyous well
come.
Tex had been put up on chairs and
tables to make talks, and in Salt
Lake they had insisted upon him
making a housetop talk; but now
here he was at home, in his own lit
tie Ely, and in his own hotel.
"Rah for Tex!" they yelled, ano
everybody yelled again, and there
were cries of speech, speech" inter-
mingled with: where's the fight
going to be pulled OFF," and Whats
the matter with Ely?"
''Ely is all right" said Tex.
ssHurrah, rah, rah. Hooray."
''And Ely put one on them," con-
tinued the great fight promoter"
"Hooray, rah. rah.'

ENORMOUS
PROFITS To
MILK MEN
New York Investigations
Showing Great Earnings
At 8 Cents Per Quart

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-In the in
vestigation of the so-called milk
trust, expert accountants employed
by the state to examine the books of
the large milk companies testified to-
day that the books showed immense
profits made with milk at cents the
quart.
The books of the Borden Con-
densed Milk Co., controlling 2S per
cent of the fluid milk trade in this
city, showed surplus of $8,S24,230,
made in ten years.
Sheffield dairy farms of the Slaw-
son, Decker Co., the experts said.
paid 15 per cent dividend last year
and to date this year have paid %
per cent in dividends. It's surplus
is $962,672, or nearly double the
capital stock.
The object of the investigation Is
to show that the companies dealing
in milk to the city trade are not JUS
titled in raising the price of milk to
8 cents the quart, as has been done
on the strength of declaration that
the dairymen were losing money at
cents. The investigation is attract
ing great deal of attention not only
from New York but also from other
large cities, number of which have
experts in attendance on the hears
ing.

but none ever came. For fifteen days
rations were exhausted and they
were entirely withou. food. They
could scarcely hold their rifles on
account of their swollen hands, while
their shoeless feet made marching
an agony.
Many prisoners said that they did
not know why they were fighting, but
vaguely feared that some catastrophe
was about to happen. When they
learned the true situation they
cheered for Estrada.
Revolutionary leaders gave the
men clothing to replace their tatters
and fed them as best they could. No
guard is necessary, for the former
Zelayan troops say they will fight
for Estrada when he goes to Man
aqua.

TRAGIC STORY EXECUTIONS
IS TOLD FOR THE FIRST Time
H0lD Cannon and GrOce Diedss-Ze.
laya Adnaits England's Curt Cut

MANAGUA, Dec. 29.-The recent
reports that Grace and Cannon, the
Americans who were put to death at
the Order of Zelaya, were tortured
before shot, are untrue.
Grace and Cannon were notified
of the death sentence passed upon
them at 1890 O'Clock of the night
of Nov. Is. They were executed the
following morning at sunrise, when
they were marched out of the fort
ress in drizzle of rain which fe'I
on the way to the execution place.
On the march to the latter they pass
ed the open graves prepared for
them.
At one time on the death march
Grace stepped out of line and plead
ed with Gen. Medino, saying, "Do
not shoot me, I am brother Mason. :"
Cannon quickly seized his compan-
ion and pulled him back into line,
saying, "Brace up, old man. We
have no chance under Zelaya's
orders"
Standing in the center of a
square formed by hundred soldiers,
the two men heard their sentences
read from four corners. The hands
of the condemned men were then
bound and their eyes blindfolded.
Cannon shook his head, attempt
ing to prevent the bandage being
placed over his face and eyes, but
the protest was unavailing. They
were seated, after blindfolded, on a
low bench, side by side. The firing
squad of twelve soldiers then ad-
vanced in rows to within six feet
of their victims. The two soldiers
at the right were instructed to fire
upon Grace and the two at the left
upon Cannon. All four of the bullets
were effective.
when the body of Grace was
buried blanket hid his features, but
the body of Cannon was buried with
out any protecting cover.

B. E. Jones of Burlington had brok-
en- loose again. He is now in Des
Moines seeking legislation which will
enable him to Gust the mayor and
chief of police of Burlington and the
sheriff and county attorney of Des
Moines county for failure to enforce
the laws and neglect of duty. If Mr.
Jones wants to accomplish something
worth while in accordance with his
ideas of reforming the world he
should ask the legislature to enact a
law requiring everybody in Burling-
ton and Des Moines county to sign
pledge TO abstain from everything
they should not do and thus do away
with the necessity of mayor, chief
OF police, county attorney and sheriff.
If legislation is cure-all why not ap-
ply It to the whole city and county
instead of few individuals?

An lnsuroent Defeat

80 '''SS' SSi'N 0S'SGks
Sioux City Journal: What is the
net result of the parliamentary merry
go-round that went into the record as
the proceedings of the house of rep
resentatives on the opening day of
the extra session? So far as the is
sue between the Republican regulars
and insurgents was concerned the net
result is defeat for the insurgents on
every essential point for which they
commended. 1t is true the insurgents
We're contending for modification of
the house rules. and modification was
ordered, making superficial victory
for the insurgent cause. But it is also
true the changes secured were not the
vital ones which were made the car
dlnal planhs in the insurgent platform
Practically the amendments adopted
were only sops affecting minor meth
DDS of procedure, but not affecting the
broad powers of the speaker and the
rules committee, which were the main
object of the insurgent attack. 1t is
only by claiming the thin edge of a
wedge has been inserted, which may
result in future more radical changes,
that the insurgents can save their
faces and argue that their campaign
was worth while.
There were four main planks In the
insurgent platform The first called
for the defeat of Speaker Cannon
This was early proved to be an abso-
Lutte impossibility. Even If enough
Republicans should refuse to vote for
him to prevent his election he could
be elected in preference to any other
Republican, for many Democrats
would vote for him rather than for any
other Republican, insurgent or regu-
lar. The Republican insurg ents could
not think of helping to elect a Dem
ocratic speaker Cannon's defeat be-
ing impracticable, most of the insur-
gents voted for him on the roll call in
the house, and he was easily elected
The defeat Of Cannon for speaker was
the main feature urged by the agi-
tators who have been trying to make
"Cannonism' bogy word The cleo
ton of Cannon spelled decisive defeat
for this small, but enthusiastic and
noisy propaganda.
The second important item OF the
insurgent campaign was the effort to
curtail the sway of the speaker by
taking from him the power to appoint
all committees of the house Instead
1t was proposed that the house name
committee to make committee ap
pointments. This change would
strike at the very yitals of the speak
er's influence in the organization Of
/ the house. The rules as amended
leave the appointment OF committee.

cut if off as quickly as possible. and
without provision for a future crop
But it is first of all upon the lumber
men themselves that the duty of con-
serving their own forests actually lies.
Mr.. Pinchot points out that by asking
for the retention of the tariff in order
to protect the forests, the lumbermen
have in substance entered into an agree
ment with the people of the United
States to perpetuate their forests by
wise use This tacit agreement is
freely recognized by many of the lead
ers among them Mr. Pinchot says OF
it:
IF the tariff is allowed to remain.
the lumbermen should he held to their
agreement with the people of the Unit
carry it out, the people of the United
States should take the matter in hand
and enforce such control of numbering
as will protect the forests and the pub
lie. The lumbermen must recognize
that the forests which they own are
not simply pieces of private property
They are a public trust, the source
from which most of the nations future
timber supply must come. The nation
has decided that these forests must be
conserved It is the duty of every lum-
herman TO act upon this decision. It
is the duty Of the nation and the state
to aid him in every way they can. If
the lumbermen do not make the most
of this opportunity. legislation is COM
ing and coming very soon which will
force them to do clean work in the
woods, and to leave their cutover lands
in condition to produce a second
crop"
Mr.. Pinchot believes that it is posi-
Bile to work out solution of this great
problem in cooperation with the lum-
bermen in such a way that will salts
ly both them and the public. To this
much-desired end he pledges lis ut
most efforts.
