A DOUBLE. TRAGEDY
Edward Black Shot His Wife and In
Turn Was Killed BY His
Brother-in-LaW.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. S.-While
attempting to escape through a win
dow after shooting twice at his wife,
Edward Black of this city was shot
and fatally wounded by Arthur Bip-
pert, Mrs. Blacks brother.
The shooting occurred at the home
of Mrs. Blacks mother, Mrs. John A.
Bippert, near Lyle, a small town
south of this city. Mrs. Black had
been visiting her mother for several
days, but it was thought that the do
nestle relations of the Blacks, who
have been married about ten years,
were almost ideal. Mrs. Black had
gone to her room shortly after eating
supper, when the shooting occurred.
She was shot twice, through the arm
and in the back.
Black shot abdomen, and
it was not known he was killed until
his body was found about five yards
from the house this morning 1t is be-
lieved that he went to visit his wife
in the hope of bringing her home, and
her refusal to return with him partial
ly unhinged his mind. Young Bippert
has not been arrested.

POSTMASTER MAY RESIGN
Because of overwork = Washington
Rancher is the Cause of Trouble.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. edwin W.
Hyde, a bachelor at Wilson Creek,
Wash, who won homestead valued
at $4,000 in the drawing for Indian
lands in the Flathead reservation in
western Montana several weeks ago,
is carrying his mail home in a wheel
barrow these days and the local post
master threatens to resign because of
oVerwork. He is besieged by widows,
spinsters and romantic young women
from various parts of the northwest
and middle and eastern states, who
are eager for the position as house
keeper on his new ranch. He has also
received half hundred proposals of
marriage from women in New York,
Chicago, Boston and other large CEN
tiers. To say that Hyde is embar-
raised is putting it mildly. He says
the flood of letters was started by the
publication of his photograph in a
number of eastern and western news
papers at the time of the drawing,
when the correspondents announced
that he needed only a helpmate to
make life complete.

COOK MAKES STATEMENT
Intends to Confront Peary With the
Witnesses of His Exploft-Makes
Charge Againts Peary.

Copenhagen, Sept ST have been
to the north pole. AS I said last night
when l heard of Commander Peary's
success, if he says he has been to the
pole, believe him.
q am willing to place facts, figures
and work out observations before a
joint tribune of the scientific bodies
of the world. In due course l shall
prepare to make public an announce
ment that will effectually dispel any
doubt, if there can be such, that |
have reached the pole But knowing
that l am right, and that right must
prevail, l will submit at the proper
time my full story to the court of last
resort-the people of the world.
Il will not enter into any contro-
yersy over the subject with Command
er Peary. furthez than to sayzthat if
he says | have taken his Eskimos,
my reply is that Eskimos are nomads
They are owned by nobody and are
not the private property of either
Commander Peary or myself. The Es-
kimos engaged by me were paid ten
times what they agreed to accompany
me for.
AS to the story that Commander
Peary says took provisions stored by
him, my reply is that Peary took my
provisions, obtaining them from the
custodian on the plea that I had been
SO long absent that he was going to
organize relief stations for me in case
1 should be alive. For this l have doc
umentary proof
This is Dr. F. A Cooks reply to
Commander Peary.
Coming SO quickly upon so many
dramatic incidents of the week, Com
mander Peary's dispatch denying that
Cook had achieved the triumph for
which he has been feated and honored
in Copenhagen beyond the lot of any
other private person, has been read
here with a feeling of amazement and
concern. But Dr. Cook himself seems
in no wise disturbed.

DEMOCRATS Harmonic
New York Democrats Meet and Try To Patch
Up Differences.

real purpose of the movement is to
bring about the rehabilitation of the
party by squelching the so-called rad
ical element. Bryan and Organism
are not to be discussed, but it is new
ertheless significant that practically
all of those figuring as leaders in the
conference movement are identified
with the conservative wing of the par
ty in New York state, which has al
ways been lukewarm in it's support of
the Nebraskan.
The attitude of the conference to-
ward the leaders of the democratic
party in New York City remains OBJ
scure. Neither Mayor Mcclellan,
Leader Murphy of Tammany nor Pat
rick McCarren of Brooklyn are taking
part in the movement, and'it is doubt
full if they were invited to participate.
On the other hand, several of those
who are known to be bitter political
opponents of the three men named
are among the most conspicuous fig
ures in the conference.
The attitude of the conference to-
ward State Chairman William J. Con-
ners is more apparent It is freely
admitted, in fact, that should the
movement inaugurated here today
prove. successful, the elimination of
Mr.. Connors as a factor in democratic
politics would follow in the logic of
events Most of those identified with
the movement were members of the
Utica conference year ago, which
was called to protest against the meth
DDS pursued by Chairman Corners
and Boss" Murphy at the previous
democratic state convention and to in
1919 a fight on Corners within
party lines
Should the movement succeed it is
taken as matter of course that Con-
ners would be removed from the state
Craftsmanship, and it is regarded as
equally certain that he would be sue
ceeded by Morgan j. O'Brien. The
course to be adopted with reference
to Murphy, McCarren and other New
York City leaders would probably be
left to the future to determine.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 9.-To re-
habilitate the democratic party in
New York and to restore family rela-
lions between the old line democrats
who dominated the party councils in
the days of Tilden and Cleveland and
the faction now dominant in it's af-
fairs, so as to render it a militant
fighting force in time for the next
state campaign, is the program map
ped out by the leaders of the peace
conference" which assembled here to-
day for two days session. Repre-
sentatives of virtually every assembly
district in the state are on hand, and
plans will be made to draw back to
the party many democrats who have
not been active since the Mckinley
campaign.
The aims and purposes of the con-
ference, as set forth in the official
call, are: ITO have a full and frank
discussion of party conditions and
policies, among which latter may be
specified the following: Economy in
administration of federal and state
governments; home rule not only by
the states in federal matters, but by
municipalities in state matters; tariff
reduction primarily by abolishing the
protection of special interests which
at present dominate and threaten the
integrity of our system of government;
fuller and freer expression and abso-
lutte legal protection for the party vot-
ers and their duly authorized repre-
sentatives in the exercise of. their
functions in primary elections and

DEATH HAS NO TERRORS
Hungarian Is Willing to Die In Order
That Efficacy of His Elixir May
Be Fully Determined.

South Norwalk, Conn, Sept. s.
Thaddeus Teitz, Hungarian scientist
who has spent nearly his entire life
in an effort to discover an elixir that
will restore life to a human being
any time within several hours of a
natural death, claims to have accom-
plished his ambition and is ready to
submit himself as a patient for the
test.
So confident is Teitz that he asserts
he is willing to give himself to any
death save one that removes a part of
the body OF from acid such as Vitrol
that eats away the flesh. The mere
removal of the blood from the body
until respiration stops, suffocation,
drowning and like means of ending
life have no terrors for him, yet he
has not been able to find subject.

ESCAPESFR0M
PRISON

The county detectives and the
sheriff's office force would like to
know the whereabouts of one
George Barton. He escaped from
the county boarding house on July
l last and the news just leaked
out this morning.
Barton was sent up for six
months in the federal court, hav-
ing been convicted along with
Jack Alton and Laurence Breeding
on a charge of counterfeiting.
They were arrested by Detectives
Dial and Miles of the police de-
partment and had a number of
lead dollars in their possession.
Head Jailer M. H. Bigelow when
asked about the escape said that
while he had theory no one about
the Jail was able to give any pre-.
else facts. Deputy Jailer Max An
derson had charge the morning
Barton made his getaway. but was
unable to throw any light on how
it was accomplished.
Barton still has about three
months to serve of his original
sentence of six months imposed by
the court and was employed as a
cook and considered an ideal pris-
oner Jailer Bigelow's theory is
that Barton watched his chance
when Anderson took some TRUSTEES
out to sweep off the sidewalk and
followed them out.
Barton has wife and small chit
dren living here and ii IS thought
likely that he will attempt to com
municate with them. and in case
he does it will prove his undoing,
as all mail is being closely watched.
Barton was considered the leader
of gang of counterfeiters who had
been operating in this section pass
ing spurious dollars.
