RoBBER KILLS ONE; SHOOTS TWO
Man Is Then Fatally Wounded I'm
Bnffle with Omaha Police.

Patrolman l.. a. Smith is dead, Detec-
tive W. G.. Deveresse il probably fatally
injured. Albert Clarke is fatally hurt and
Betsy Smith is dangerously shot as the
result of an attempt by CLARKE to hold
up Anna Wilson's place on Ninth street,
in Omaha. at an early hour Thursday.
Clarke entered the Wilson place and at
the point of a revolver commanded the
inmates to hold up their hands. At the
same moment he snatched diamond neck
lace from the neck of the Wilson woman
and escaped 10 the street. Betsy Smith
followed him and Clarke fired shot into
her shoulder, inflicting dangerous
wound. Her screams brought Patrolman
Smith to the scene and Clarke at once
began shooting at him, firing two bullets
into his body. Smith raised himself to
sitting posture and fired twice at the
robber, one bullet taking effect in the leg,
but he escaped to Douglass street bridge
across the Missouri river. The shooting,
which occurred two blocks from the police
station. brought a squad of officers and
the patrol to the scene. Smith was dead
when they arrived. All the available Off
GERS started out to search for the robber
and an hour later he was found on the
bridge by Detectives Deveresse and Heit-
feldt. AS soon as the officers came up
TO the robber, he began firing, one bullet
hitting Deveresse in the stomach. Heit-
feldt shot the robber twice in the stom-

about 60 years old and for years bore
the reputation OF being the most cool
headed and scientific officer in the Rus
sian navy. He distinguished himself
in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877 AMI
was promoted to commander in 1885.
In 1902 he was made vice admiral
and was in far eastern waters ut the
time OF the Chino Japanese war.
In the summer Of 1904 he started
with the second Russian Atlantic
squadron from the Baltic for Vladi-
vosi ok. On the way some British fish,
ing boats were fired on and strained
relations with that country resulted.
Arriving i'm the far east Admiral RO-
jestvensky was joined by other Rus
sian vessels and then had fifty-six
ships under his command. May 27-2S,
1905, occurred the battle of the Sea
of Japan, in which the Russian fleet
was practically annihilated and its
commander taken prisoner.
A naval court Of inquiry sitting in
St Petersburg in 1905. indicted Ad-
miral Rojestvensky for surrendering
TO the Japanese, but he was acquitted
on the plea that at the time the sur
render was made he was unconscious
from injuries received in the fight.

Twenty-Five thousand persons went

pending questions was reached, but the

weeks ago and have since refused 70

Martin Lawlor,- secretary Of the
United Hatters of North America, said !:
1.-The cause of the trouble was the re-
fusal of the Guyer company to live up
to their contract with us, not any re-
fusal of ours to live up to our contract
with them. The statement that the

Trade during the first half OF JanC-

TOPEKA HOTEL BURNS.
The Copeland, Filled with Kansas
Legislators, Destroyed by Fire.

The Copeland Hotel, famous head
quarters for legislators and politicians.
situated at Ninth and Kansas ave-
nues, one block from the State Capt.
tol, Topeka, Kan, was destroyed by
fire that started shortly after 4 o'clock
Thursday morning. Every room was
occupied, the guests numbering about
80, among them legislators and poll
ticians of prominence throughout the
State. The flames burned with such
rapidity that most of the occupants
were forced to use the fire escapes.
/. Z. Lambert of Emporia, one of the
most prominent attorneys and politi-
clans in the State, Is missing, and Is
believed to have been burned to death.
Many of the guests were injured, but
none is thought to have been fatally
hurt.
The Copeland Hotel was of brick
construction, four stories in height. 1t
was one Of the Oldest hostelries in the
Railways and was plentifully supplied
with fire escapes. The main stairway,
however, was built around the elevator,
and the flames shooting up the shaft
soon shut off this means of escape. The
fire started in the lower part of the
building from some cause as yet I'M
known. The flames shot up quickly
and before an alarm could be turned IN
were fast making their way up the
wide corridors and filling the open
spaces with smoke. When the fire ap-
paratus arrived on the scene it was ap-
parent that the structure was doomed.
The loss is estimated at 100000

located near Park Square, and half an
hour later 34S automobiles valued at

Company, formerly used as the termi-
nal of the Providence division of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, and destroyed the bicycle
track, and large pavilion used for ex-
hibition purposes. The damage to the
building will bring the total loss to
