Who He Wounds.
An awful tragedy took place at
Huntsville, Ala, on Friday, by which
one man lost his life and another was
badly wounded. Here are the par
ticulars:
J. Robert Jones, senior member Of
the insurance firm of Jones & Ri
son, was shot and killed by VIM. L.
Halsey, president of the Halsey
Wholesale Grocey Company. A. D.
Mcdowell. shipping. clerk in the
Halsey establishment, was fatally
shot and is expected to die. Mr..
Halsey is in Jail and is said to be
insane.
The shooting occurred in the Hal
sey store, where Mr.. Jones had gone
to adjust some matter relative to
insurance. No quarrel occurred so
far as known, and the shooting was
as unexpected to Mr.. Jones as to
VIM. L. Halsey, Jr., son of the slay-
er, who sat in the office and was the
sole witness besides Mcdowell.
Mcdowell was shot several minu-
les after Mr.. Jones was killed. He
had telephoned for doctor for Jones
and then perceiving that Mr. Halsey
lad gone insane, attempted to es-
cape from him. He was shot i'll
the back, the bullet coming out in
his abdomen.
Haley has been under treatment
for ;ucipient insanity for some time
and his affairs have beer managed ty
his son.
Before going to see him Jones said
nc Was "afraid of the job
The Two men were schoolboys to-
gether and have been lifelong
friends and business associates.
Mcdowell, who is young mar
ried man, has been employed by
tHalsey several years and was faV-
orite with him.

THRONGS VISIT BATTLESHIP
Mississippi, Which Lies Off City Of
New Orleans.

Lying off New Orleans at anchor,
in the great stream whose name it
bears, the battleship Mississippi was
board and inspected by throng
of visitors Friday.
Little interest was taken among
the officials of the batt!eship in the
resolution Of Congressman Holligs-
worth, of Ohio, questioning the plac-
ing of the picture of Jefferson Davis
on the silver service, to be presented
to the Mississippi next month.
While the officers were adverse to
making statements for publication
on the subject, they left the inference
that they were not at all in accord
with the terms Of the resolution.
All endorse the general expressed
sentiment that sectional feeling
among the officers of the navy has
entirely Disappeared

ing of the portrait of Jefferson Davis
upon the silver service which the war
vessel is now on her way up the
Mississippi to receive from the State
in whose honor she is named. Re-
spending to a telegraphic request as
to whether he and the other Of
ficers of the Mississippi were in SYM

placing of the likeness OF the dead
chieftain Of the Confederacy upon
the silver service had aroused, Capt,
Fremont wired The News and Cour-

For Protection on Lumber or
Anything Else.
TILLMAN AND SMITH
Takes Their Democracy Straight and
Will Fulfill Their Party's Pledge
BY Voting to Carry Out Promise
Made in the Democratic Platform
for Tariff Reform.

for Tariff Reform.
Zach McGee, writing to The State
from Washington, says Senator Smith
showed some "emotion Friday when
he saw The State, containing the
extract from the Virginia paper
stating the new South Carolina sena-
tor was going to vote for protection
on the products of his State. He
was at that time turning off lumber
lobby, which wanted to convince him
he ought to vote for duty on lum-
ber.
Some of the lumber lobbyists see
ing the piece in the paper, supposed
that Smith was open to a PROPOSE
ton, or at least ready to be con-
vinced. This, in spite Of the fact,
the senator says, that he had told
them that he was going to vote the
straight Democratic ticket, one plank
of whose platform declared specifical-
" for free lumber. The Virginia
naner referred to Senator Smith OF
South Carolina.
There are good many Smiths
in the country" said the senator.
Gwen the senate here is loaded with
them. This particular Smith Is o
Democrat and whenever he can not
act in accordance with the Demo
cratic party's principles, he's going
to resign his job and get out"
The lumber lobbyists have been
calling on both the South Carolina
senators. Senator Tillman told them
the same thing that Smith told them
that he was going to vote In ac-
cordance with the platform
called for free lumber.
The lumber lobby, by the way,
which called on Senators Smith ana
Tillman renresented themselves as
from South Carolina. Six men called
at Senator Smiths office one nay'
telling him that some of them Were
from South Carolina and some from
other States. who had interests IN
South Carolina. As they came ou'
met them.

DANGER SIGNAL
Senator Commins Predict Dire
Things if The
OC7APUS PREVAILS
He Says the Common People Are
Factor, and Predicts That They
Will Rise in Their Might II q
World Trust Is Ever Formed by
the Monopolists.
the A1onopolists.

One of the best speeches yet de-
livered in the Senate against the
tariff bill was made by Senator Dol
liver, Republican, from Iowa. few
days ago. Commencing the course
of his colleague in his attack upon
the pending tariff bill, Senator Cum
Minis, also a Republican, Thursday
in opening his speech upon that
measure, turned to Mr.. Aldrich and
said that the man who challenged
! the Republicanism of Senators be-
cause they seek to revise the sched-
ule of duties 40 years old was taking
a most remarkable course.
Mr.. Cummins secuted the idea
that adherence to the wool schedule
was necessary in order to maintain
the protective principle. He said he
had been one of the Republicans who
had fought for revision of the
tariff.
"And I intend to defend my
faith" he continued, with all the
vigor of which I am capable.
"The finance committee, compos-
ed of honorable, intelligent, bright
minded and experienced men, is still
not the ark and the covenant of Re-
publican doctrine. 1t lis mot the
only repository of Republican faith. !"
Not a single member of that COM
mittee, he said, had been among
those Republicans who had demand
ed revision of the Dingley bill.
They did not believe revision was
necessary and it was no wonder that
they should not now favor changes
in duties.
Senator Owen interrupted while
Mr.. Cummins was stating that he
had had special opportunities for un-
derstanding the affairs of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company with
an inquiry as to how he had acquir-
ed such special information.
81 was attorney for the company"
replied the Iowan.
Mr.. Scott inquired whether the
senator had received his fee as al
torney in money or in stock.
eff I had lived in West Virginia, ;"
responded Mr. Cummins, "and had
been surrounded with the influences
prevalent there, I fear I would be
ashamed to answer. But as I live
in Iowa where there is an honest
atmosphere, can reply that my pay
was in cash, and I had nothing what
ever to do with the capital stock is
sued by that company"
Responding to question by Mr..
Depew, Mr. Cummins said that he
had not ventured to look forward
"to that disastrous day in which the
industries of the United States and Of
the world are concentrated in a
single hand or a single board of di-
rectors." When, he said, the day
should dawn that single man shall
direct the energies of the earth and
control the fortunes Of mankind so
far as manufactures are concerned,
"there will still remain the lamp
posts and the common people, If the
law has failed, in order that the
country be rid Of those monopolists
who coerce the whole world" y
