FATAL RESULT MAY
COME FROM
JOKE
SHOOTING OF WILLIAM SMITH
REVEALS PECULIAR DOMES.
TIC ARRANGEMENT.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. 14-In the
shooting. which is expected to result
fatally, of William Smith, carpenter,
here today, there came to light one
of the strangest entanglements three
persons ever lived under. A girl q
years old, who shot Smith, AYERS to
the police that she married him know
Ing that her mother was already his
legal wife. The three have lived for
years together. the man as the hus-
band of both.
The shooting this afternoon oc.
Cured over the sending of comic
valentine. The girl, who styles her
self Mrs. Cora Smith, while her
mother is known by the name of Mrs.
William Smith, sent the carpenter a
comic valentine. Smith grew angry
when he received it, and, after pack
ing up his clothes, started to leave
the house. Thinking he was going to
desert her, the girl shot him. The
girls mother says she married Smith
in 1902. Her daughter was by a for
mer husband. A year after their
marriage, she says, she found that
her husband had improper relations
with her daughter. She made him
marry the girl, she says, without first
securing a divorce. The girl and hus-
band bear out the story.

NIAGARA FALLS CH0KED
BY WIND AND ICE JAM

Niagara Falls, N Y, Feb. 14.-Only
tiny rivulet, not deep or swift
enough to carry pulp log over the
brink, Is flowing over the American
side of Niagara Falls. A strong
northeast wind which has blown
since Friday has held back the water
and allowed the ice to gain a foot
hold. Two employees of the American
reservation walked from Prospect
Point nearly to Bath Island this morn
ing.
great wall of ice runs from the
head of Goat Island to the American
mainland, through which only tiny
streams are able to trickle. This wall
has even encroached on the Canadian
channel, extending out some 200 feet
beyond the Third Sister island and
greatly diminishing the flow over the
Horseshoe. Only the very apex of
the Canadian Falls Is left, and that
is robbed Of half it's flow. The gorge
below Is choked and the rapids have
lost their fury. while the whirlpool Is
barely In motion. This Is only the
third time that this combination of
wind and ice has thus affected the
falls since the white man came here.
The other occasions We're on March
20, 184S, and March %, 1903.

MEN
ARE NAMED
NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION
APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO
ORGANIZE COUNCIL.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE National
Civic federation tonight announced the
appointment of a committee which
will attempt to organize a council OF
100 representative men in each state
before whom will be laid a plan to Sc
cure more uniform legislation. John
Hays Hammonds is chairman. The
other members are: Alton B. Parker,
New York; Myron 7. Herrck, Ohio;
David r. Francis, Missouri, Curtis
Guild. Jr., Massachusetts; n. j..
Bachelor, New Hampshire; Edward
Warfield, Maryland; Herman Ridler,
New York; c. F. Brooks, Connecticut;
Bruce Haldeman, Kentucky Victor

James Lynch, Indiana: iiarry Pratt
Judson, Illinois; A. H. Reve!l, Illinois;
John b. Lennon, Illinois: John II.
Halliday, Indiana, and Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, California.
The federation points out that there
are useful national organizations
which hold meetings to discuss affairs
peculiar to their own pursuits and
callings, but it declares, heretofore.
that there has been no effort to chys
talize interstate organizations for the
accomplishment of concrete aims. The
state council to be organized will at
tempt to bring this about.
The federation says: THE develop
ment Of the nation and the changes
in conditions brought about by more
development have emphasized the
harmfulness of incongruities in law,
adopted as they have been without
any attempt at uniformity in regulat-
ing the subject matter.
THE people of the sections do not
sufficiently know each other. 1t is
confidently expected that a meeting
for the common good of men from all
the states and the opportunities such
meetings will afford for better under
standing and appreciation of the peo-
pie and the institutions of widely sep
arated sections will bring about an in
creased sense of the unity of the
whole people"

MANY LIVES SAVED
BY RATS
SUPERIORITY OF FLOATS Is
DEMONSTRATED IN WRECK
OFF AUSTRALIA.

Wellington, N. a., Feb. 14.--Fifty-
two bodies have been recovered from
the wrecked steamer Penguin Of the
Union Steamship company of Yelling
ton, which went on the rocks Friday
night off Cape Terawhiti. Six of
those aboard the Penguin are unac-
counted for. In all, the passengers
and crew numbered about 100.
Boats Are Sunk.
The ship struck about 10 o'clock
at night, but the captain remained
on the bridge, and after his vessel
slid into deep water was able to steer
closer into shore. The seas were
running high and the small boats
and RATS which were hastily launched
could not Withstand the waves. The
boats and RATS were overturned, but.
while the boats speedily sank, the
RATS righted themselves a number of
times. Many acts of heroism were
performed, some. of the stronger of
those struggling in the water helping
the weaker to regain the frail crafts
Rats Save Lives.
After several hours of buffeting, the
majority of the survivors on the RATS
reached the shore, demonstrating that
RATS are more serviceable than boats
in heavy sea close to a rocky shore
One of the RATS with 10 men thrice
captized when but a short distance
from the land, but all scrambled back
and were ultimately cast upon the
cliff and were saved. Four boats
came ashore some hours later and all
were badly crushed.

P|ACHOT SQUARES SELF
WITH THE DRY FARMERS

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 14.-Declaring
that his position on dry farming had
been somewhat inadequately de-
scribed" in his letter to President
Roosevelt, and that the country life
commission would not deal with this
branch Of agriculture in his report,
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot has
written a letter to Secretary John T.
Burns Of the Transmissouri Dry
Farming congress, in which he says:
Il have seen great achievements
made by dry farming. and great areas
Of land cultivated by means Of it.
which would otherwise have remained
barren.
Il am now and have been at all
times greatly interested in the devel-
opment of dry farming and confident
that it would be of great Importance
to the west. The association, I am
told, is following wise lines of work,
and nobody is more glad of 1t than 1.
I want to put this matter right before

CAUGHT REO-HANDED
IN CAFE ST0R[ROOM

When an alleged thief unwittingly
announced his presence in the store
room of the Vienna cafe last night
by accidentally sounding a burglar
alarm, he would fain have flown, but
his nose made the intimate acquaint-
ance of a brawny cooks fist and he
went down and out for the full count.
Now he is behind the bars Of the
county Jail nursing a badly battered
nasal appendage and brooding over
the probability Of facing a charge of
burglary.
1t all came about In this manner:
For some time past the proprietors of
the cafe have been missing hams,
bacon and other articles Of food with
persistent regularity. AS the store
room is located in the basement of
the building where it cannot be
watched closely, an electric bell was
installed and arranged so it would
ring when the door was opened.
Late last night the bell sounded.
George Johnson, one of the restau-
rant cooks, and Manager Edward
Marble, one of the proprietors, rushed
into the basement and caught Jack
Kelley in the act of helping himself
to the stores. Kelley made an at
tempt to escape. but johnson antici-
pated his move by leading to the
nose with straight, right-arm jab
that sent Kelley down and out. He
was then dragged upstairs and held
until the police arrived and took him
into custody. Kelley declared that
someone had taken him into the
basement to give him place to sleep,
but Mr.. Marble takes another view of

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SAYS
THAT FORMER SECRETARY
HAS GOOD IDEA.
COLONY IS IN BAD SHAPE
Negro Educator Expresses Opinion
That Government Of This Country
Owes Support to Blacks in Africa
Thinks United States Should Ap.
point Board Of Commissio ners.

New York, Feb. 14.--lndorsing the
view of former Secretary Root that
Liberia is an American colony, Book
er T. Washington tonight declared
that the situation in the African re-
public was serious and that the United
States was in duty bound to render
practical assistance to Liberia, which
was established in 1919 by the United
States government, Mr.. Washington
said:
Condition Is Serious.
The present condition of Liberia is
serious. There are about 10000 CIV
ilized negroes who have emigrated
from the United States or as descend
ants of people who emgrated years
ago. Back of these in the Hinterland
are about 100000 of uncivilized peo-
pie.
"The present condition of Liberia,
however. need not surprise anyone.
In fact, the surprise Is that Liberia
has maintained itself as an independ-
ent nation for so long period with
almost no help from outside sources
except that which has been furnished
by philanthropic individuals. Every
TAuIopctH COuHtIy WHICH udS pldutoO
a colony in Africa has spent millions
Of dollars in assisting them. These
European governments have also sent
their best officials to supervise and
guide the people until they have got
ten started. In the case of Liberia, a
small body of people just out Of slav-
cry in this country, with no expe-
rience in government or the conduct
of educational institutions or without
responsibility for their own conduct.
were sent to a foreign country and
the responsibility placed upon them
within a few years Of building and
maintaining a government.
But Not Hopeless.
Il do not believe the condition of
Liberia is hopeless, but I do believe
this government owes, as Secretary
Root says, duty to the country. We
have spent large sums Of money and
given some of our best officials to re-
organize and build governments in
the Philippines, Hawaii, Cuba, Porto
Rico and San Domingo, and we GER
tainly owe an equal duty to Liberia.
II believe and hope the United
States will carry out the recommen-
dation made to congress by former
Secretary Root and by President
Roosevelt in the direction of lending
practical assistance through the send
ing of three commissioners to Liberia
as early as possible"

| Constantinople. Feb. 1.-THE new

through a severe crisis, which has re-
suited in the downfall of the aged
grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha and the
| complete triumph of the young Tur-
key party, or a committee of union
and progress, which has virtually i'm
posed upon the sultan a ministry of
its own nominees. headed by Hilmi
Pasha. The committee has publicly
repudiated any intention to over

tary dictatorship. but the crisis and
its outcome are regarded as not bod
ing well for the stability of the throne
or the state of parliamentary govern

the moderate elements Of the empire
will regard this assumption of abso-
lutte power by an irresponsible COM
mittee, especially in the face of deli
cate problems still to be solved in the
Balkans.
kiamiI Too Slow.
The committee Of union and prog
ress has constantly opposed Kiamil
Pasha. 1t suspected him of being too
susceptible to palace influence and
complained of his slowness In con-
ducting negotiations with Austria
Hungary and Bulgaria. Kiamil Pasha
claims that If he acted unconstitu-

acted unconstitutionally by ignoring
