No change of importance is made in the national organization. but shat body went unanimously on record Hs giving little encouragement to wo- man suffrage.
 The franchise section of the resolu- hlon reads:
 We afirm that the ballot may be believe that the qualifications for suf- frags should be based upon inteIIi- gence, not upon sex .of- any other insur- mountab1e obstacle."
 Total abstinence is again made the Watchword of the organization.
 A significant paragraph is the one which asks Congress for "enactment of law prohibiting interstate com- merce in intoxicating liquors by plac- lng under Federal control the shipment of liquors from one State to another when the consignee Is not a legal deal or" and to prohibit the issuance of internal revenue tax receipts unless tho applicant shows that he has com piled with the requirements of the law of his State"
 President Taft promised the use of his preroxative to prevent the sale, of intoxicating liquors In the Panama Ca- nal gone.
 Child labor is denounced and the or- ganization Is pledged to secure a min- imum working age by Federal enact- ment.

ated early today in double tragedy
in their boarding house, 519 Rich

MUCH MYSTERY IN

Girl Seriously Shot at Her
Home by an Unknown
Miscreant

New Point, Mo. Oct 2.-More than
three days have passed since Miss
Jessie Kunkle. the 24-year-old daugh-
ter of a farmer, was shot from am
bush at the farm of her brother-in-
law, Ray Hardman, a mile southeast
Of this place, but no light has been
shed on the mystery. The people of
this village and the neighboring coun-
try are deeply agitated and talk of
little else. Some nod wisely when it
is mentioned, as If they knew some-
thing about it If they would only tell
it.
Alfred McNulty, sheriff of Holt
county, knows what most of those
who read are thinking, and he says
that 1t does not constitute an encour-
aging clew. Meanwhile Miss Kunkle,
with bullet probably in her right
lung. Is being cared for by two phys
icians and a trained nurse, who says
she has SO far had the better of her
fight for life.
Kept. House for Her Brother.
Miss kunkle is of striking appear
ance, of athletic build and inclina-
tions. She is an excellent horsewom-
an and has been a familiar figure on
the roads about here. She has been
deaf from catarrh two or three years.
Her father, Columbus L. Kunkle, who
has lived near here all his life, owns
a 2O0-acre farm two miles south of
New Point. He has nine children.
Jessie has been keeping house on her
brother-in-law's farm, mile away,
for her brother, Harrison, 20 years
old who has cared for the place this
summer. The two live there alone
and Hardman and his wife live IN
town, where they run a general store.
Last Tuesday night Talmadge Cowan
cousin, less than 20 years old, spent
the night at the house and early the
next morning the boys went across
the Nodaway river several miles away
to gather pawpaws. Miss Kunkle
stayed at home alone. She noticed
her Scotch collie running about the
back yard in an unusual fashion and
its actions frightened her. 1t contin-
ued this for more than an hour. About
10:30 o'clock she went to the barn
and the dog followed. jumping about.
She Barely Heard the Shot.
She says that when she was three

the weapon with which she had been
shot, She looked about quickly, said
nothing and fastened into the house
to telephone to her sister, Mrs. Hard

ceiver in her hand. When she recov-

kitchen and turned out the fire in the
gasoline stove, on which she had been
heating irons, and then crawled back
to the telephone. This time she sue

FIRED v0lLEY INTO
CR0WD0f STRIKERS
Three Men Wounded in Shoot
ing ARRAY at Glace Bay.
Cape Breton

Glace Bay, N. s., Oct. 2.-Three
men were struck by bullets this after
noon fired from revolvers in the hands
of the police of the Dominion Coal
company. None of the men are seri-
ously hurt, two of them being struck
In the leg and the other man had a
portion Of one of his ears shot of.
The row started over some men who
were stealing coal from one of the
little piles which have been opened
up by the strikers. since the labor
troubles. A little to the eastward of
No. 2 mine is the seashore, and along
the cliffs facing the sea appear small
seams of coal. These are of little
economic value and they have never
been worked. The land is included
In the Dominion Coal company's leas-
es and the officials of the company
have forbidden the digging of coal
from these seams.
Fired Into Crowd.
This afternon it was discovered
that two boys were taking coal from
the cliff and thereupon Norman Nc
Kenzie, accompanied by Mat McAdam
and three other policemen of the coal
company, each armed with a revolver,
proceeded to the cliff to arrest the
amateur miners. While in the act of
making the arrest a crowd gathered
and commenced jerring at the police.
They ordered the crowd to disperse
but the orders were not promptly
obeyed. The police drew their re-
volvers and fired first in the air and
then into the crowd. One man, John
Butts, had his ear shot of, while sew
eral others were struck in various
parts Of their bodies.
The wounded men were arrested
and placed in jail on charge of "un-
lawful assembly" and warrants have
been issued for the arrest of the men
who used their revolvers.
The policemen say that the crowd
threw stones before they used their
revolvers, and members of the crowd
say that not stone was thrown until
the revolver shots were fired.
