professional baseball clubs, shot him.
self in the right temple at $3.50 O'Clock
last night in his room at the New York
Athletic Club. The bullet passed en-
tirely thru his head from right to left,
cutting out both his eyes. There is
little change for him to recover
AT just $50 the telephone operator,
whose desk is on the ground floor of
the club. saw light flash on the board
before him for Pulliams apartment.
He answered the call but got no re-
sponse. After trying several times
without success to get any word from
the instrument that the board showed
was calling, he notified the clerk of
the club and an employe named
Thomas Brady was sent up to Pull
liam's apartment with a pass key.
The door was locked. Brady opened
it. The room was lighted PulIiam

from his head. A 38-calber revolve,
lay on the floor close below his limp
hand. He was dressed only in his un-

told the operator downstair what had
happened. Dr. j.. u. Higgins. thee lut
physician, was sent for, and club MEM
bers present in the building, hearing
of the shooting, rushed into the room
Pulliam was unconscious when
found. DR.. Higgins attempted to re-
store some sign of life but said there
seemed no prospect of success. The
wound the one bullet had inflicted was
terrible one. The bullet. tearing thru
the right temple, had fractured the
frontal bone and had torn out the eyes

bone in its course. There was one un-
used cartridge found in the five cham.

Aside from the telephone call there
was no evidence of preparation for al
attempt at self destruction. Their,
was no note explaining the act. nor a.
far as can be learned had Pulliam ap.
prised any friends of his intention.

Washington, July 29-Thru a written
communication the president has ad-
vised the tariff committee that he can
not accept a rate exceeding Sl.25 on
upon the senate rates on gloves and
hosiery. Democratic members of the
conference committee who had been
called into today's meeting remained
only fifty minutes.
Every One at Sea.
The transmission of the presidents
views had the effect of re-opening the
subjects of lumber, gloves and hosiery.
Much doubt arose in the minds of the
conferees as to when the end might be
arrived at Aldrlch told some of the
democrats that probably they would
not be summoned again before Satur-
day or Sunday. Other members OF the
| conference expressed even more douo,
as to the length of time that would be
required to reach an understanding

submitted to the house tomorrow will

| In his communication to the commit

| that hides be kept on the free list ano
that the rates on leather and leather
goods be shaded below the house fig.
ures, as heretofore has been agrees
upon. Republicans showed up in th'
hounse today in great numbers, havin'
been notified to be present in anticipa
ton of the reception of the conferenc,

forthcoming and the house adjourned

To Resort to Extreme Measures.

Madrid July 29.-The governor of
Barcelona today published decree or
dering the inhabitants of the city to
return to their homes. After twenty
four hours any one found in the streets
Is liable ITO be shot on sight,
The extent Of the disaster is plainly
apparent from General Marina's dis
patch, as given out at the war office
today. He says:
"On July 81 the Moors cut the rail-
road severing communications with
our outposts. Our batteries shelled the
dangered, and they had to be abandon
ed. The situation at Melilla is grave,
despite the desperate bravery of the
troops, who are now fighting under the
walls of the city. Our losses in the en-
gagement were General Pintos COL
onel, two lieutenant colonels, rive
captains, many subalterns, and about
1000 men. The wounded number at
least 1900, including many officers.
The hippodrome is full of wounded
soldiers. Two generals are mortally
wounded"
That great battle has been fought
between the Spanish troops and the
Moors is now officially admitted from
Madrid, for the first time. The extent
of the engagement was at first mini
mized in Spain, in an effort to pacify
the public, and dispatches concerning
the battle We're vigorously censored
Early reports gave the losses at few
hundred, but the official admission %
day, that the killed and wounded
reached 5000 gives the battle import
ance in real warfare, the casualties be-
ing far greater than in any engage
ment during the Spanish-Amercan
war and exceeding some of the most
stubborn fighting of the Russo-Japa-
nese war.

Baseball Fishts-Recently Resumed
Work After Long Vacation.

New York, July 29-Harry G. Pull

of Professional Baseball Clubs, died at
$40 today, after Shooting himself thru
the head in his room in the New York
Athletic Club last night Altho the
bullet passed entirely thru his head.
severing both optic nerves and causing
instant blindness, Pulliam lived from
$50 last night until this morning. He
became unconscious soon after the
shooting, and when discovered was un-
able to make any statement as to his
reason for committing suicide, but it is
generally attributed to ill health.
Pulliam's health, particularly his
nervous condition. has been so poor for
several months, as to cause much
alarm among his friends. After the
spring meeting of the national league
in February, he was granted an in
definite leave of absence, and spent
several months with relatives in Ten
nessee and Florida. He returned to
his duties about a month ago, and
seemed to be considerably improved by
his long rest. His health soon began
to give way again. and it is reported
that he recently spent a week in a
sanatorium.
Resumes Work After Illness.
Harry c. Pulliam was extended in
definite leave of absence on account OF
health, at the annual spring meeting of
the National league in Chicago. on
Feb. 16, last. About month ago he
returned to his active duties.
Pulliam was born in Scotville, KY
thirty-nine years ago. He was gradu-
ated from the University of Virginia
and soon after finishing his college
course went to Louisville and worked
as baseball writer on newspaper
there. In 1898 he resigned from the
position of City editor of the Louis
vile Commercial to accept the presi
dency of the Louisville Club. The yea
before this he had been elected as {
member of the Kentucky legislature
where he served one term.
Since his entrance into the baseball
world in 1898, Pulliam has been in the
thick of all the fights that have dis
turbed the National league magnates
In 1899 Barney Dreyfuss got control OF
the Louisville Club and Pulliam was
deposed from the presidency. He was
elected secretary-treasurer and con-
tinued to represent the club at league
meetings. In the fall of 1899 Dreyfuss
consolidated the Louisville and Pitts.
burg clubs and sold fourteen players tt
Pittsburg, including Fred Clarke, Hon.
us Wagner, Claude Ritchey, and the
rest who laid the foundation for the
present Pittsburg team.
Pulliam was elected secretary of the
Pittsburg Club and retained that posi-.
tion until he was elected president o
| the National league at the December
meeting in 1902 When it was con
templated to organize the National AS
sociation to fight the American league
| Pulliam worked hard in the interests
of the league but his plans were upse
when the magnates demanded conces
| sions from the association promoters
that they were unable to comply with.

rate of s1.50 on rough lumber. 1t

| President Taft repeated the forego-
ing statement time and time again yes
terday, beginning with Congressman
Hamilton of Michigan, and winding up
with Senator Aldrich and Representa-
tive Payne, the managers of the tariff
| conference.
The president even went so far as to
| threaten another extra session of CON
gress. to be called in October. and he
| indicated that If forced to this eNtrem
| ity he would make n vigorous declar-
alton at the beginning for n downward
revision. very different from the policy
of suasion he has used up to this
time.
Mr.. Taft's attitude, communicated
during the day to the conferees. had
a perceptible effect upon their action.
| Before adjourning late this afternoon
they reached a tentative agreement on
lumber and gloves, both in the naturd
| of compromises.
| Senator Aldrich and Mr.. Payne were
directed to ask the president IL sl35
or 81 40 on lumber and an entirely new
scheme of rates on gloves. based on
valuation, would be acceptable.
| The compromise proposed to the
president last night was as follows;
<. ~. 80 ri- e
a dozen pairs. which is twenty-five
cents below the rate proposed In the
senate bill; $3.50 on gloves valued al
not more than 81 a dozen pairs, which
is $1.50 below the exorbitant house
rate; 81 a dozen on gloves valued al
not more than sl2 dozen pairs; 81
per cent ad valorem on gloves valued
at more than $12 dozen pairs. and 6
reduction of the cumulative duties OF
womens gloves from 40 cents a dozer
pairs to 20 cents These rates ar.
entirely satisfactory to Mr.. Littouer
and consequently are moi ..n The III iIittlii' ttlii'

that they would not vote for a bill

The desperate condition Of Spain
both at home and abroad was dis
closed when the Spanish govern
ment officials admitted the defeat
of the government rtoops In the
great battle in Morocco at the
same time reports showed that
Barcelona was completely in the
hand of a revolutionary mob and
that the streets are running with
blood, the Spanish artillery using
machine guns in vain attempt to
check the onslaught of the revolu-
tionary element. The battle in
Morocco has brought a crushing
defeat to the Spanish forces. The
casualties on the Spanish side
reached 1900, giving the defeat an
aspect akin to that which the
Italians met in Invading Abyssina.
