HUSBAND, WIFE AND
BABY SLAIN IN KANSAS

FRONTENAC, Kan, Nov. IA triple
murder. and an assault on a woman was
enacted on a lonely road a mile north of
here some time last night. The dead
are Mr.. and Mrs. William Bork, Ger
mans, Of Fontenac, and their son. who
was IL years old. Mr.. Bork presum-
ably was killed while trying to defend
his wife.
The child probably was slain because
the murderer wished to silence him.
The Borks were last seen alive late
last night, when they started to drive
home TO Frontenac from the home OF
Mrs Bork's mother, two miles out in
the country. This morning the Borks
horse and buggy were found standing in
the roadway at a deserted spot. In the
bottom of the buggy was discovered the
child, dead from bullet wound in its
head.
Hastily pursuing their Investigations,
miners who found the child's body, came
across the body of Bork in the middle
of the road some distance away. Bork
had been shot once in the head and
twice in the body.
A trait through the dust plainly led the
miners to a corn field 100 feet further
away. There they found the body OF the
woman. She had been assaulted and had
then been shot through the heart
Mrs Bork had fought desperately
against her assailant. Along the tran TO
the corn field were found both the slip
pers she had worn. Ribbons from her hair
and her cloak were also found.
It is supposed Bork was the FIRST to be
killed The indications were that ne
had n,en shot as he sat in the buggy ana
that he fell from his seat to the road.
Two bullets evidently were fired into his
body after he fell.
Coroner Dudley, Sheriff Morrison ana
County Attorney Woolley hurried mere
from Pittsburg, Kan. as soon as they
heard oF the crime. The bodies were
brouqbt into town and an inquest was
hold tbis afternoon. BloodhoOnds were
sent for to be used in an effort to tran
the slayer. He left no. clue Lynehlng

EARTH'S SHADOW pa
DARKENED THE MOON

The occultation of the moon, announced
by the officials of the United states
weather bureau for the early hours OF
saturday morning, was pulled on as per
schedule. greatly to the edification and
satisfaction of all who witnessed the I'M
pressive sight.
AS explained in The Journal several
DAVIS ago, the eclipse was due to the Iact
that the earth, moon and sun were all In
line for two hours, and the shadow OF
the earth shut of the moon from the
suns rays for that length OF time
Friday night was as beautiful as
poets dream. The sky was clear as crys-
tai. and the world was flooded with the
silver rays of the radiant full moon. The
eclipse was not scheduled to begin until
II minutes after i. o'clock, when the moon
was directly overhead.
No telescope was needed to witness the
eclipse. At exactly the hour and min
ute named, a faint dlmness began to OBJ
scure the brilliance of the moon on one
side, and soon it looked as II slice had
been cut from the luminary. Gradually
the shadow crept across the face of the
moon, the earth's curvature being plain
ly Visible.
Rapidly the illuminated crescent grew
smaller, and at a few minutes after 2
o'clock the thin rim of light faded en-
tirely and the earth was plunged into
starlit darkness. For more than an hour
the world was in darkness, and then the
shadow began to leave the moon. As
gradually as 1t had been darkened the
moon was re-illuminated. and at 4:S0
o'clock all was as though nothing I'M
usual had occurred. Many people in At
lanta remained awake in order to witness
the spectacle.

unconstitutional the recent act OF the
legislature granting the Carolina,

j. S. AND CANADA
MAY Be INVOLVED
IN A TARIFF WAR
Congressman Mann Says Country
May Well Be Alarmed at Troub-
les Growing Out of. Rates on
Print Paper. and Pulp.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-Congress-
man Mann. who was chairman OF the
special committee on wood pulp and print
paper OF the last congress, and who pre-
pared the provisions on those items as
first reported to the house by the Payne
tariff bill but who was'overruled by con-
gress in the final passage Of the taritt
law, takes the position that the country
may well be alarmed at the danger OF a
tariff war with Canada, growing out Of
the tariff on wood pulp and print paper
under the, Payne act. -,
Mr.. Mann has prepared, and at the be-
ginning OF the forthcoming session OF
congress will introduce. several bills and
Joint resolutions relating TO this subject.
one of his measures is a joint resolu-
ton TO postpone the application of the
maximum tariff from April l, next to
January /, 1911. Another of his .resolu-
tiOns provides that the maximum tariff
Of the United States shall be held not
10 apply TO wood pulp and printing paper
imported from Canada.
HAS PREPARED BILL
Mr.. Mann has also prepared and will
introduce a bill which provides that wood
pulp and printing paper shall be admit
ted free OF duty when imported from
Canada. being the product thereof, on the
condition precedent that Canada or the
province in which the wood pulp or print
ing paper. is manufactured, shall not for
bid or restrict or impose any export duty
OF export license upon printing paper,
mechanically ground wood pulp or wood
used in the manufacture Of wood pulp.
WILL MAKE A FIGHT.
These measures naturally when in
troduced win be referred by the speaker
to the committee on ways and means,
but Mr. Mann may make fight in the
house TO have them referred to the com
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, of which he is the new chairman.
In the last congress. when the ways
and means committee was endeavOring to
smother the bin introduced by Mr.. Mann
to prevent the importation of smoking
opium he sent a notice to every member
OF the house that on a certain morning
ne would move to take that bill from
the ways and means committee and re-
fer it to a friendly committee. The re-
suit was passage OF arms between Mann
and Chairman Payne. Of the ways and
means committee, on the floor of the
house, but Mr.. Payne was compelled to
report favorably Mann's opium bill and
IL became a law.
CANADA WILL RETALIATE.
Mr.. Mann says that unless some legis-
lation, such as he proposes, be adopted,
or reciprocal treaty with Canada be
agreed to. Canada. smarting under the in
Justice of the Payne tariff law, is likely
10 forbid the expectation of pulp wood
from Canada to the. United States and
thereby not only close up a number of
the newspaper mills of the United States,
but increase the cost and price OF print
paper TO a point sHhich will Inflict tre-
mendous injury not only upon the news
papers. but upon the book publishers, in
Guiding especially school books.
