numerous physicians that the woman
Is living culture OF typhoid bacil.

THINK WOMAN IS
CAUSE Of DUEL
Police Probe Fight Between Ex-Sal-
walton Army Officer and Italian
Former Badly Wounded.

BENTON HARBoR. Mich. July IL
Alexander Bartueci, the Italian VINO
engaged in a pistol duel Win capt
Albert Bringe, formerly with the Sai'
yation army here. Is In the county JAZZ
today. He was captured in ST. Joseph
while attempting to fieeithe city. the
participants In the duel tell conflicting
stories.
Bartueci claims that the captain
fred the first shot and that he re-
turned the fire for self-protectioh
Bringe charges that Bartueci opened
FIRE on him under the cover OF dan n
ness and not until his assailant hau
fired two shots did he draw his gun.
Bringe was seriously If not fatally
wounded. A fusillade OF bullets pass
ed between the two men. Bartueci'
sheltered by board walk, fired shot
after shot at the army captain, while
Bringe, standing In the open, returned
the fire. He then staggered into MS
home and sank to the floor from loss
of blood.
The officers are investigating the
theory that Bringe's wife had been
on friendly relations with the Italian
and that this was the cause or the
shooting. They are inclined TO believe
that Bringe accosted the Italian anu
the. formers wife and that the shoot
ing then ensued.
AS basis for this theory they point
to the fact that two months ago, upon
returning home one morning from
Chicago, Bringe peeped through a win
dow of his home and observed man,
now said to be Bartueci, in the house.
without further ado the Salvationist
pulled a gun out OF his pocket and be-
gan firing through the window. One
bullet missed its target by mere
scratch and the intruder made good
his escape.

park department allows the sufferers
TO go onto the grass. Early In the
evening you will see families rushing
TO find sleeping places In the parks.
As the night grows. silence settles
over the parks. The children are tho
last TO fall asleep. On the grass OF
almost every great park thousands oil
sleepers pass the night htfully.
Lucky Is the family with Are es-
capes For they are peopled with
sleeping men. women and children
during the hot nights. Neighbors
who live Ia back rooms envy the nre

for a sleeper 10 rCll from his fre es-

The roofs. too, contain many sleep
ers on the hot nights. But there Is
no tenement roof in New York that
will hold the outstretched forms or

A week OF hot weather In New
York shows how fatal the heat Is.
Babies die AT the rate OF 10 or 70
n day. The white hearse Is the EN-
HEM OF the hot spell. Every other
block In the east.side shows Its white
Grape daily.
Suicides increase. Tired men. un-
able to sleep because OF the heat and
their WEAKNESS, lose their reason.
Scarcely a night passes that some man
or woman does not jump TO death IN
the river.
Workmen lose their lives during the
DAYS rush. Their minds and bodies
tired by the strain OF the heat, they
make fatal missteps on scanolds. or
wrong turns with their teams.
More than any one thing-oesides
poverty-the terrible heat OF a New

by Tulane University. He entered
the ministry in 1869.
Bishop Galloway's writings COW
cred a wider range perhaps than
those of any other person connected
with the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, and he travelled extensively.
For a number of years he took an
active interest in the prohibition
campaigns in Mississippi and other
southern states. He was president
of the BOARD of education of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South;
president of the board of trustees of
Millsap College and Vanderbilt Uni
Versity and was a member of the
board of trustees of the John F..
Slater fund.
Bishop Galloway presided over the
South Georgia Conference when the
annual session of that body was held
in Dawson some years ago, and was
personally known to many of our
people.

BISHOP GALLOWAY is DEAD
WELL-KNOWN PUBLICIST AND
NOTED MINISTER DIES OF
PNEUMONIA.

Bishop Charles B. Galloway of the
Methodist Episcopal church died at
jackson, Miss, of pneumonia We'd
nesday.
Bishop Galloway, Mississippi's
most distinguished divine and best
known publicist, for the last twenty
years held rank among the greatest
pulpit orators of America His ill
ness of several days duration was a
mild form of pneumonia, complicated
with heart trouble The bishop was
taken i'll Friday en- route from Nash
vile, where he had attended the an
.nual session of the college of bish-
ops. No alarm over his condition
was felt until Monday night when
pneumonia developed in one lung
The patient grew worse rapidly
During the final twelve hours he was
unconscious.
The funeral took place Thursday
afternoon from the First Methodist
church in Jackson, followed by in
terment at Greenwood cemetery.
Bishop Warren A. Gambler of
Georgia conducted the services.
Orders were issued for all depart
ments of the federal, state, county
and municipal government to remain
closed, and Mayor Crowder issued
"a proclamation urging all the bust
ness houses to close for the day.
Bishop Galloway was possibly the
most prominent Of the bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
He was born at Kosciusko, Miss,
September 1, 1849, and graduated in
1868 from the University of Miss
issippi. The degree of doctor of

to be haunted, and no one would
rent it.
So the owner pulled it down in or
der to rebuild. Then the house
/ breakers made a horrible discovery.
/ Bricked up in the wall of the cellar
were the mummifed remains of a
woman stabbed with a knife.
! Murder, of course; but when, or
| by whom no one could say. The
knife and the moldering remains of
garments gave the only clew, and
/ placed the date of the crime at about
the end of the eighteenth century.
Outside of the town of Wilson, n.
c., is a place of rising ground known
as Lincoln Hill. An Ordinary-loOk-
ing spot enough, yet ugly memories
attach to it. 1t is said that, long
ago, red Indians used it as a torture
spot, and that white men and wo-
men, too, have yielded up their lives
there, bound to the stake, and burnt
to death.
Be that as it may modern events
have amply justified the evil reputa-
ton in which the people of Wilson
hold the spot. In the year 1891 a
prosperous hotel keeper of the town
by the road on the side of the hill.
He is believed to have committed sui
eide, but the reason no one knows.
Three years later two boys came
running into the town to say a man
was lying by the road with a hole in
his head. They found him on the
same spot dead. He was a young
insurance agent from New York, but
whether it was murder or suicide
none could say.
Four years later there was anOth-
er suicide, the body being found
within few yards of the same place.
To cap the climax of this series of
tragedies a brutal murder has since
followed. One evening a prosperous
farmer, Calvin Barner by name, was
walking into the town, accompanied
by his two little grandchildren,
when, just as he reached the old tor
ture ground, an assassin's bullet laid
him low.
Does it not seem as if some mi
crobe of murder tainted this hill in
fecting passers-by with the horrible
desire to kill?

President Taft made a Commute
speech, during which he declared
that he was strongly in favor of re-

conclusion as to what he would rec

MICROBES OF MURDER

Opportunity lures the unscrupu-
Ious to crime But can mere oppor-
tunity explain the extraordinary re-
currence of crimes of violence at GER
tain spots? Is it not possible that
there is a microbe which leads peo-
pie to commit crimes?
At the Out-of-the-WOrld village of
Benz SomrOck, in the Minich province
of Egypt, a CHASTITY tragedy was re-
Gently brought to light.
A boy had disappeared. Search
being made by the police, his half
burnt bones were discovered in the
oven of a new pottery works. Two
potters were arrested, and one turned
state evidence The child, he said,
had been burnt in order that luck
might attend the baking of the first
batch of pottery.
This dreadful superstition is al
most as old as our race. Human
sacrifice was, by our savage ances-
tors, considered necessary to pro-
pitiate the diabous loci, the demon
which presided over that particular
spot. The idea was that, by Offering
up one life many others might be
saved.
The black record for death by vio-
lence possessed by certain spots
might almost excuse modern man for
a lurking doubt whether, after all,
there might not be a real foundation
for this dreadful belief
Some years ago a German named
Bobbe was arrested for murder
BObbe was the owner of a small to-
baccO shop in a back street of Ber-
lin, and was suspected of doing away
with the son of his landlord.
The premises being searched by
the police, the floor of the back kitch-
en- was taken up, and a dead body,
partly consumed by quicklime, found
in a hollow beneath. This was
proved to be that of Bobbe.s victim
But here comes the strange part
of the story. During the search the
police noticed that another portion
of the floor sounded hollow.
A large stone slab being raised
a dry we'll was discovered, and at
the bottom the skeletons of two
more bodies The latter had I'M
dOubtedly been there for very many
years, certainly long before Bobbe's
tenantcy, Their identity and that of
their murderer will certainly never
be known
La Tore, the Toulon murderer,
who killed his wife and three chill
dren in a fit Of apparently causeless
fury, always maintained that he did
it because some influence stronger
than his own will drove him to
snatch up razor and kill them
with it.
Certainly there was no apparent
object for the crime The man had
always been a good husband and
father, and the prison doctors certi-
fed him sane
