A STRANGELY
MIXED AFFAIR

st. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. 16.-In the
shooting, which is expected to result
fatally, of William Smith, carpen-
ter, there came to light one of the
strangest entanglements three per
sons ever lived under. A girl
twenty-five years old, who shot Smith,
AYERS to the police that she married
him knowing that her mother was al
ready his legal wife. The three have
lived for years together, the man as
the husband of both.
The shooting occurred over the
sending of comic valentine. The
girl, who styles herself Mrs. Cora
Smith, while her mother is known by
the name of Mrs. William Smith, sent
the carpenter comic valentine
Smith grew angry when he received
1t and after packing up his clothes,
started to leave the house.
Thinking he was going to desert
her, the girl shot him.
The girls mother says she married
Smith in 1902. Her daughter was by
a former husband. A year after their
marriage, she says, she found that her
husband had improper relations with
her daughter. She made him marry
the girl, and she says, without first
securing divorce. The girl and hus
band both bear out the story.
Mrs. Cora Smith was placed under
arrest by the police. She will be held
pending Smiths condition.

WITH REVOLVER
AND BOMB
|Disheartened Man
Makes Demand
For Money
HAD PLANNED TO SUICIDE.
His Prospective Victim Uses
Ruse And Lands Extor.
toner Behind the Bars

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 1G.-Armed
with revolver in one hand and a
dynamite bomb in the other, man
apparently about forty years of age,
today entered the home of Francis M.
Jones, president of Jones Brothers
Dry Goods company, this city, and
demanded $1,000. BY a .ruse Jones
overpowered the man, who was ar
rested.
At the police station the man gave
his name as C. H. Garbett. He de-
clared that he had planned after Sc
curing the money from Jones, to take
the latter to independence, a suburb,
where he would have chained him up
! in a house he had fitted up for the
purpose. He said he had been plan
ming the scheme for months. The
man appeared at the Jones home
shortly before noon. He was shown
into the library and when Jones en-
tered, pointed the revolver at him and
compelled him to be seated. He told
him he must give $1,000 or his house
would be blown up, at the same time
producing the bomb. Jones engaged
him in conversation and in turn
Jones wife and son appeared in the
doorway. Both were compelled to
be seated and after parley it was
agreed that Jones and Garnett would
go to the bank and get the money.
On the way out of the room, Jones
tripped-up the intruder and he and
his son pounced upon him, stripped
him of his weapons, and telephoned
for the police. The bomb did not
explode when the would-be extor-
ZIONIST dropped it.
Garnett acknowledged to the po.
lice that the name he gave them was
fictitious. He said that he had fam
lily and business troubles and left
Omaha three months ago resolved to
kill himself as soon as his money
ran out. About ten days ago he went
to the bridge that spans the Missouri
here, with the intention of blowing
out his brains, but the thought occur
red to him that there was one more
chance. If he could only get few
thousand dollars he would be all
right. Then he decided upon the
dynamite plot, went to Independence
located the house and prepared the
Internal machine. The police have
not yet located the House or the
chains with which Garnett intended
binding his victim.

A CALIFORNIA LEGISLATOR
Says That Correspondence
Seen by Him Proved That
There Was Danger,

San Francisco, Feb. 1C.-That this
country was on the verge of war with
the naval power of the Orient re-
Gently, was the assertion of State
Senator Richard J. Welsh, who is
here with the legislative committee,
Investigating the Islais Creek project.
Senator Welch said: ''If you had seen
the correspondence that passed be-
tween President Roosevelt, Governor
Gillett and Speaker Stanton that |
have seen, you would know there was
only short time ago danger of a
conflict between two great naval pow.
ers of the Pacific" This statement
was made in answer to the argument
of the opponents of the lslais Creek
project that the supporters of the plan
had attempted to gain support for it
by maintaining that a government
navy yard be established at Hunters
Point. Senator Welch stated that
such a navy yard would surely be
built within the next ten years.

FROHMAN EXPRESSES
HIS SATISFACTION

New York, Feb. 16.-Daniel Froh-
man, manager Of the Lyceum thea
tire, who announced that he and his
wife, Margaret Ellington. the actress.
have agreed to a separation prelimin-
airy to a divorce, when told today that
his wife might marry Edward j.
Bowes, real estate man of San Fran
cisco, said he had not heard positively
that Mrs. Frohn.aR contemplated mar
rage with Mr.. Bowes. He said:
"If Mrs. Frohman obtains a divorce
and wishes to marry again certainly
hope that she does become the wife
of Mr.. Bowes. He is a splendid chap
"a man of great capacity and a man
think who would make her good
husband. | have known Mr. Bowes a
long line. So has Mrs. Frohmar. He
has visited New York frequentl' and
has been guest at my home. I have
always admired him greatly and see
no reason why their marriage should
not be a happy one."
Speaking of the separation, Mr.
Frohman said:
Everything was of a perfectly am
icable nature. | knew when she wen,
to California exactly what the plar
was. 1t was purely an amicable ar
rangement and while regret it all,
believe it is fer the best. You see
when Miss Ellington and were mar
ried | realized that there was tre
mendous future before her on the
stage. She was blessed with wonder
full ability and l was as anxious FOL
her success as I could possibly be
She, too, was ambitious and together
we strove to win all the honors FOL
here, tisat we could.
'In my desire to see her get aheac
aid reach the highest goal that cal
be attained on the stage. | may have
overlooked the other side and did moi
realize that she might long for the
domestic life. Then her health broke
down under the terrific strain. Thf
work became distasteful to her, but
never knew it. 1t became Infinitely
more difficult for her to continue OF
the stage when she no longer care(
for it and finally she was forced u
give 1t Up altogether.
But that is all past | can only sa!
now that my fondest hope is that MISS
Ellington will be happy in whatever
she undertakes. If she obtains al
vorce hope she marries Mr.. Bowes.

WHY THE CAREY
ACT WENT OVER

Washington, Feb. 16.-Tne bill
(H. r. 262l6D to extend the provis.
ions Of the Carey Act, to New Mex.
co and Arizona, was presented to
the Senate upon call of Senator
Clark, from the committee OF pub.
lie lands.
M. Kean T ask the Senator from
Wyoming kindly to make an expla.
nation of what benefit the two terri.
tories will receive by the passage OF
the bill.
Mr.. Clark: The benefit the Terri
tories will receive will be tire same
benefit that the States in the arid
regions now receive from the appli-
cation of the Carey Act, so-called, the
best act that has ever been passed
for the arid states. This bin pro-
vides for extending that act to the
Territories named in the bill. which
We're inadvertently omitted from its
original provisions.
Mr.. Kean: hope they will re-
main Territories for some time to
come.
Mr.. Hepburn: would not oppose
its consideration at any time.
II am in thorough sympathy with
the Carey Act and would like to see
1t extended to every portion of the
United States where arid lands exist"
Hepburn said he wanted to make a
statement to go in the Record. but
It being time to proceed to the House
to count the electoral vote 1t went
over.
After the return from counting the
electoral vote Mr.. Hepburn made a
statement for the record. and then
said: l withdraw any objection that
| may have made to the passage Of
the bill.
Mr.. Tillman: Why not let the bill
go over until tomorrow?
Mr.. Clark: The difficulty of let.
ting it go over If the Senator please,
| is that if it goes over till tomorrow
it will probably go over day after
day. 1t is simply a bill for the bene-
! fit of the Territories of New Mexico
and Arizona.
Mr.. Tillman: There being no mem.
bers of the committee here let it go
over
Mr.. Clark: I want to remind the
Senator that in order to make this
bill effective, the legislatures being
in session, it must be passed now.
Mr.. Tillman: certainly shall OBJ
iect. Though I think have the in
terest Of the people of New Mexico
| and Arizona at heart as much as any
in this chamber.
| The Vice President: Objection be-
ing made it will go over.
In the Senate the Andrews small
/ land holdings bill was referred to the
committee on private land claims.

PRESIDENT WILL
AID STATEHOOD

Washington, Feb. 15.-Represent-
tive Watson, of Indiana, (Republi-

garding ths Arizona-New Mexico
statehood bfh.S Mr.. Watson had no
fear as far as the House was con-
cerned, but he is confident that stub
born fight will be made on the bill
in the Senate.
The President, he says, is hopeful
that the two states will be admitted
with this session of congress, and it is
understood that he will bring pres
sure to bear to remove the objections
on the senate side.
1t is probable now that the House
has acted on the statehood, the pres
ident will call on the Republican
leaders in the senate to exert their
influence to push the bill through
This, at least, is the impression that
Representative Watson gave out. Per-
sonally, he said, he hoped the bill
would 60 through with as little delay
as possible, and this hope, he said
the president shared heartily.
