Denver, Aug. 11.-One Of the most

wood Most Of these methods depend

animal life. Poisonous substances In

FINED FOR KILLING
CAT IN FAMILY FEUD.
Feline's Owner, Mrs. BOehm, in
Court to Press Charge.

Rudolph Nauweller, 66 Houston street.
was brought before Judge Hahn. of the
Third Precinct Police Court, today, on
the charge of shooting a gun out of his
window yesterday. Incidentally he
killed a cat. the owner of which, Mrs.
Boehm. of 6s Houston street, appeared
to press the charge against him.
Mrs. Boehm and Nauweller, it seems,
had long waged petty var against each
other. Nauweller was held on the
double charge of shooting a rife and
killing an animal. The charge of cruel
ty to animals was entered against him
and he was fined $40 and costs. The
sum amounted to $14, which he paid
and was discharged with a warning
against any more shooting.
A counter-charge, 1t was said, is to
be made by Mrs. Nauweller against
Mrs. Boehm, claiming that the latter

FOR TARIFF
AGREEMENT TODAY
Some Members of Conference
Optimistic as to Early
Conclusion.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-That be-
fore the end of the day there will be
a complete agreement by the conferees
on the tarig bill was the announcement
made by some of the members of the
conference at noon today.
When the conferees resumed their
work today it was with the intention
of taking up other subjects than hides.
The past few days have been devoted
almost exclusively to the latter subject,
and the members of the conference
were hopeful that in view of their
agreement to leave the final decision Of
the hide duty until after the House
could act, they would be in a position
to proceed with other features of the
bill and thus get the whole measure
in shape for presentation to the Senate
and House as soon as the rates in the
leather schedule Should be fixed in
case the House authorizes their reduc-
ton.
The hide men are making a strong
appeal to the representatives from the
tanning and she manufacturing dis
tricts in the hope h a they Will see
that the placing of hides on h free
list, together with a reduction of hide
products, is a tendency towards the
democratic doctrine, and they claim to
be making some Roadway with them.
Still the sentiment in favor of free
hides is very strong and the represent
atives Of the manufacturing centers
are quite as active as the hide men.
Many of them are willing to make a
slight reduction in order to procure the
complete surrender of h hide advo-
Gates.
The Democrats do not want free
hides without free leather, but If forced
to vote for lower rates on leather 1t is
contended that they will be compelled
to do so as in the line of Democratic
doctrine, regardless of the effect the
vote will have upon hides themselves,

ford, of the committee appointed for
the purpose by Eastern Star Council
No. ia. at its last meeting:
To the Editor of the Newark Star:
My Dear Sir-There appeared in the
the other daily editions of our Newark
press, an article regarding the playing
of The Star-Spangled Banner by the
band of the National Guard at Sea
Girt. We think the article was headed
Refusal of the Colonel of the Regiment

Eastern Star Council No. ia, Jr.
o. u. A. M, at their last meeting
passed a resolution that they would en-
ter a protest to be made up against
the edict issued by the colonel of the
regiment of the National Guard. We
believe that the glorious anthem, The
Star-Spangled Banner should not be
suppressed, particularly when played
by the bands of our National Guard.
I'm all parts of Great Britain and in
other theatres there, whether great or
small. the performance invariably be-
gins with the orchestra playing Rule
Britannia which Is one of the ma
tional anthems, and always ends with
the national anthem Goo Save the
King This is heard in the great the
aires in London and in the opinion OF
the members of this council and of the
order generally it would be a mag
niicent thing to establish a custom
similar to hat in our own theatres.
Efforts have been made by thi;
council to that end, but We wish that
somebody or some manager would
make the start. We therefore pos.
itively and earnestly protest against
the suppression of any national an.
them being played by our Nationa
Guard bands at n time or in any
place, and we beg you to give our com
munication as much prominence If
your paper as you can see your way
clear to do. Very truly yours,

TURNS SLEUTH

Tale of Hawkshaw, the De-

local hens are excited and Jealous over
the reported achievement of a hen In
Lakewood yesterday.
This particular hen has acquired the
reputation of being the original chicken

of finding stolen Jewels worth $1,000.
If the story can be confirmed-and
many prominent local poultry raisers
have their representatives at work
running it down-a big new fleid will
be opened up for owners of bright,
willing, ambitious young hens lmbued
with new ideas, which make eggs and
nests distasteful.
