DEFIES The OFFICERS.
Railroad President Enters Port of
Guayaquil Over Protest.

Guayaquil, Ecuador, Nov. 26.-Archer
Harmon, president of the GuayaquiI &
Quito Railroad company, entered this
port today in defiance of the port au-
thorities.
Harmon arrived on the yacht Cav
alier from Panama. but the yachts
captain was unable to exhibit clear
ance papers. Accordingly the officer of
the port refused permission to the rail =
way man to land. Harmon landed just
the same and boarded a train for Quito.
Harmon became involved in dispute
with President Alfaro two years ago,
because he had failed to complete the
construction of the Guayaquil & Quito
line within the time agreed upon. The
matter was subsequently adjusted and
the road was opened a year later.

KILLS A POLITICIAN.
Husband Killed Man Who Despoiled
His Home.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 26.-Accused by
an enraged husband of deSpoiling his
home William E. Proctor, Republican
candidate for auditor in the recent city
election. former school trustee and d
we'll known resident of this city, was
shot and killed on the street by r. NJ
Culley. wall paper dealer.
The shooting occurred in the center
of the business district and was wit
messed by more than a hundred people.
took up his vigil in front of Proctor
shop early in the morning and lay in
wait till the latter arrived.
An hour after Culley had come to the
shop, at Second and Main streets, Proc
tor came in sight.
Culley drew both revolvers and began
firing. Proctor ran and took refuge be-
hind post and then fell to the ground
Culley followed him and fired two
bullets into his body.
Culley then put up his weapons when
he was convinced that the man was
lifeless, walked to a buggy of Fire Car
tain Gregory Sheehan and permitted
himself to be taken to Jail.
Proctor was hastily removed to the
hospital and died Of his wounds all
hour later.
According to Culley his grievanc,
against Proctor came through a revela-
tion made by the formers wife who Is
said to have confessed to her husband
that Proctor broke into her home while
her husband and her children were
away.
Proctor was a man So years old and
widower. His wife died one year ago.
He lived at the family residence with
his three children
An unusual feature in connection
with the tragedy is the fact that Proc
tors only brother died suddenly in Cali
fornia a few days ago and the body was
to have arrived here tomorrow for
burial. The funerals of the two broth
ers will now likely be held simultane-
ously.
Culley is 81 years old and has a wife
and three children. MY husband was
justified" was the statement made by
Mrs. r. NJ. .Culley.

New York, Nov. 26.-Dr. Frederick

The work of preparing the records

Has Been Completed.

ant weighers were dropped by Collector
Loeb from the customs service today.

these dfsmissals the general house
cleaning in the customs house as the
result of the investigation into UNDER
weighing frauds had been completed.
Some individual cases remained. how
ever. on which he might find it neces-
sary to take action, the collector added
Mr.. Loeb stated that there were no
charges against the men removed to-
day. but that investigation had de-
veloped circumstances making it advis-
able terdispense with their services 1.
Including today's dismissals. SO men
have been removed by the collector
since the work of readjustment of the
staff in the customs service began

rect a misapprehension which appeared
to him to be somewhat general to the
effect that the civil service rules had
been disregarded in the dismissals and
appointments previously made during
the upheaval This was not the case
he declared, the civil service rules hav-
ing been strictly regarded and appoint
ments of new men made in all cases
having been made from the civil service
lists.
