COOPER SHOT AND KILLED.
Wofford Arrested and Tells Tale of
Attempted HoId-Up.

Fort Worth, Texas, July 15.-Lee
Cooper, a North Fort Worth bartend
er, was shot at 2 o'clock this morning
in the Rock Island yards and died al
the Medical College Hospital tonight
at s o'clock. Cooper and NJ. D. Gil
ham, an employe of one of the pack
ing houses, were charged in Justice
Maben's court with assault with in
tent Gillian was placed under
bond of $1,000, but Cooper's condi
ton prevented him from attending
the preliminary hearing.
Brylin Wofford, night clerk at the
Rock Island depot in North Fort
Worth, is the complaining witness
and claims he shot in self-defense. He
alleges he was held up by a masked
man while he was checking up a
string of cars in the yards, and that
the man snapped a pistol at him six
times without result
Another, an unmasked man, he de
clares, was present. Woffofd says
he drew his pistol, fired six times in
rapid succession and then retreated
to his office, where he notified the
officers by telephone.
Lee Cooper was picked up and
found to be suffering from two bullet
wounds in his abdomen. He was con,
veyed to the hospital
Gillian, who was taken into GUS
tody at his home, said today there
was no intent or attempt at robbery
and says Wofford merely became
frightened and began shooting.

MRS. EDDY 88 YEARS OLD s
81 FIREMEN SUCCUNB
To Heat While Fighting Hay Fire
In the Third endorsement of
St. Louis Store.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 16.-Fifty-two
firemen have been overcome and TAX
en- to the diSpensary and city hospital
among them Fire Chief E. Swingley,
and fifty other members of the de-
partment are fighting death and fire
at the same time in a blaze in the
third subbasement of the Simmons
Hardware company, the largest of
its kind in the world. Several car
loads of hay, used in packing, are
burning.
At midnight the fire was uncon-
trolled, and the department has de-
termined that the only way to quench
the flames is to flood the entire base
ment. The subbasement is under the
entire Cupples station, occupied by
many wholesale companies, including
the Cupples Woodenware company,
the largest in the world, and the loss,
should the flames get beyond control,
would run far into the millions of
dollars. The basement is fifty feet
underground and is reached by sys-
tenn of elevators. There is little ven
tilation and the firemen succumbed
by dozens within the first hour after
the fire was discovered.
Apparently dead, they were carried
out by staggering and almost over
come comrades, and so great was
their number that they were piled
three and four deep in the ambu-
lances. Even then they could not be
taken away to the dispensaries and
hospital rapidly enough, and taxicabs
and private automobiles were i'm
pressed by the police.
The men, fighting a blaze that they
could not see, fought in the dark and
in smoke so intense that even the
few that wore respirators could not
stand but five or ten minutes before
they were led out to the open air.
The firemen are working in pairs,
and even with this precaution several
were overcome and fell into four feet
of water and were only saved from
drowning by companions who STUN
bled over their bodies.

Austin, Texas, July 16.-J. A. Her
ring, superintendent of the Texas
penitentiaries, was before the investi-
eating committee this morning testi-
flying relative to the management of
the prisons and the convict system

fort to manage the prisons humanely
and at the same time be consistent
with necessary discipline and the re-
form of the prisoners. Replying to
the direct question, Herring said he
had never accepted a bride nor had
any effort ever been made to bride
him. He could recall only one in
stance where the charge of bribery
has been made against a prison of
fetal, but stated that several former
guards are now serving time upon
such charges.

Founder of Christian Science Passed
the Day In Accordance With
Her Usual Routine.
(Herald Special.l

Boston, Mass, July 16.-Notwith-
standing the recent reports alleging
her to be dead or very near to death,
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the found
er of Christian Science, today added
another milestone to her life's jour-
ney, and according to those in closest
touch with her she passed the day in
accordance with the routine she has
followed for several years. At her
beautiful home in Chestnut Hill she
spent the morning in reading and
writing and after luncheon she took
her customary drive. This daily drive
Mrs. Eddy has seldom missed since
she removed to Brookline from Con-
cord, N. H., two years ago.
Naturally enough, Mrs. Eddy does
not think much of birthdays or of
their cumulative effects and in ac-
cordance with her wish there was no
observance of the anniversary at
Chestnut Hill. Her views in regard
to the matter are well known to her
followers and friends, and as con-
sequence she received few congratu-
latory messages or floral tributes.
Mrs. Eddy was born in Bow, N. H.,
Lightweight years ago, and those who
have had the privilege of meeting her
recently declare that for a woman of
her age she is remarkably vigorous
and active.

SOME of our exchanges are very

established commission form of

how the plan works before going

system can be worse than that
heretofore in use. 1t is not SEN

as commissioners will prove worse
than if they had been chosen as

certainly be somewhat circum-

feature is nightmare to these

the result. but we can imagine
that when the power of recall ex-
lists. the officer will endeavor to do
good service and our observation
is that most people are very len
