THREE NATIONS AT "OLD TI'
Private Property, No Shooting
Allowed" Inspires Speakers.
President Taft and the British and
French Ambassadors Talk Peace
Where Once Was Fierce Strife.

Bluff Point, N. Y. - On the field
about Fort Ticonderoga, where bloody
battles, and lot of them, in different
wars, were fought, President Taft,
Ambassador Jusserand and Ambassa-
dor Bryce talked peace. AS the Presi-
dent reached the entrance to the park
he read sign, Private Property, No
Shooting Allowed That proved to
be the inspiration of the speeches Of
the day.
Ambassador Jusserand, of France,
the first speaker, spoke briefly of
Champlain, who discovered the lake,
the discovery of which was being cele-
brated, then went into a lengthy eu-
logy of Montcalm, the hero of Que
bee. He put special stress on the
scholarly qualities of the General. He
ended his speech with the statement
that while the 100 years war between
England and France had become a
common saying, it would soon be
possible to celebrate the fact that
there had been 100 years of peace be-
tween the countries.
Ambassador Bryce sounded the
peace note in his first sentence. He
said that "a spot so beautiful the Gre
ator surely had meant for something
else than fighting" Then the Am
bassador took up the cudgels for Gen
eral Wolfe, the opponent of General
Montcalm at Quebec. He showed
that Wolfe, the Englishman, too, was
of literary bent, repeating the story
OF Wolfe reciting Gray's "Elegy" as
he went up the st. Lawrence River
the night before his last battle. In
finishing his speech Ambassador
Bryce asked what future generations
would say of these famous battle
grounds, and answered himself!
They will say that we admire the
men who fought as heroes, their valor
and their seif-sacrifice, but-don't do
1t again"
The President made his big hit
with the crowd with this passage
from his speech:
For sixteen years it was my good
fortune to go to Murray Bay in Cam
ada for the summer. There is now
limitation upon the Presidential Office
that prevents it. While there
learned some things, and one was
that while the Murray Highlahders
and other soldiers of England con-
quered on the Plains of Abraham,
quite a number of these soldiers went
down the st. Lawrence and were in
duced to settle on the French seen
cries which lie some eighty miles be-
low Quebec. There were Blackburns
and WarrenS and MacNeils and Fra
ziers and Nairns, and all the Scotch
names that bring back the memory of
the Murray Highlander.
And what did they do? They had
the good sense to marry French
women.
And what happened?
That country is full of Blackburns
and Fraziers and MacNeils and War
rens and Nairns, and they don't any
of them speak word of English.
There are other ways of conquer
ing a people than merely by guns.
The President closed with a fer
vent hope that the valley never again
would be the scene of fighting.

MOTHER SHOT DEAD
AS SON FIGHTS Thief
Mrs. George Staber, of FIatbush,
Killed by Burglar.
FIERCE BATTLE FOR PISTOL
Young Staber Wins and Wounds Bur-
glar as He Flees With Pal
Traces Of Blood Revealed Their
Hiding Place.

1Au1uS K AstCCs
Flatbush, L. IA shot fired by
one of two yeggmen, with whom Ed
ward A. Staber, of No. 455 East
Eighteenth street, was fighting for
his life, killed the young mans
mother, Mrs. Sophie L. Hjousberg
Staber, who stood in the doorway of
her room, on the second floor of the
home about 8 o'clock a. M, when the
two men entered the home Of George
R. Staber, the father, paper i'm
porter, Of No. 1877 Duane street, New
York City, and awakened the family.
Edward Staber, who is only twenty
two years old, grappled with one of
the men, although he was unarmed,
and the two men had a revolver and
an ammonia pistol. Three shots were
fred by the man with whom young
Staber was wrestling, and the third
shot, which burned Staber's side, is
the one which killed his mother.
The man then dropped the revolver
and young Staber picked it up and
fired twice at him as he fed, hitting
him in the arm and in the side Six
hours later, through the assistance of
citizens, who traced the wounded man
by blood stains and the visits of his
companion, the police got both men,
who admitted that they had been in
the house, but denied having fired
the shot which killed Mrs. Staber.
One of them, Hungarian, calling
himself John Smith, was found in a
miserable plight in some woods more
than a mile away from the house
One bullet fired by young Staber had
lodged in the bone at his elbow. The
other buried itself in his abdomen,
The other man, an Austrian, who said
he was Carlo GIRO, was captured by a
Sicilian cobbler from whom he had
borrowed coat and some shoes.
The entrance of the men into the
Staber home, one of several detached
frame houses in the neighborhood,
the murder and the quiet flight of
the men occupied only a few mo-
ments. The entire family was asleep
on the second floor.
Jimmy marks on the cellar door
and the jamb of the kitchen door
showed that the men had first tried
to enter that way, but later they
forced the kitchen window instead.
The men went Immediately to the
southeast bedroom on the second
floor, occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Sta
Der. In the adjoining room were
their two daughters, the Misses
Marie and Emily Staber, the latter
being ill. Two doors down the hall
Is the guest chamber, which was &C.
cupied by Mr. and Mrs. Franz Khorn,
relatives Of Mrs. Staber, who were to
have sailed next day for Germany.
The sons room was across the hall
from this one.
One of the men carried an electric
1ashlight. The ray from this, hitting
Mr.. Staber's face, awakened him.
Who's there?" he cried. What is
the matter?"
Keep still and nothing will hap
pen to YOU" strange voice replied.
"All we want is the money If you
give that up, you won't get hurt"
The voice awakened Mrs Staber.
Her screams alarmed the two daugh-
ters in the next room, and they be-
gan to scream loudly, arousing the
son, who ran from his room to inter-
cept the robbers.

DENATuRED ALCOHOL FAILS.
Owing to Cost of Manufacture, 1t Has
Not Supplanted Oils.

Washington, D. C.-Seventeen in
spectors and four revenue agents on
the denatured alcohol rolls of the
Internal Revenue Bureau have been
dismissed because their services are
40 longer needed
1t is explained that the expectation
that denatured alcohol would quick
ly supplant gasoline for small farm
engines, automobiles, ETC., has been
Disappointing; first, because the en-
gines now in use are not adapted to
alcohol; and, second, because of its
comparatively high cost of manufac-
ture by present methods. So far as
being any direct benefit to farmers
of the country, the removal of the
tax of $1.10 gallon on denatured
alcohol has been up to this time in
consequential.
