SLAIN FOR revenge
Theory of Police Regarding
Rice Murder.
MAN SEEN BEHIND HOUSE
Three Persons Testify They Heard
Four Shots Fired.
VICTIM WATCHED ALL NIGHT
Golf Caddy Said to Have Sworn
Vengeance on Lawyer-Family
Fastening Home.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. August 6.-The
murder Of William l.. Rice. the wealthy
attorney. who was slugged and fatally
shot last night near his Euclid Heights
mansion, was a carefully premeditated
crime with revenge, and not robbery, as
it's motive. according to a statement made
by the police tonight
A startling development in the case
came with the testimony of three men, a
night watchman. patrolman and
chauffeur, who told how they had found
a man lurking in the rear of the Rice
home just prior to the murder. The man
appeared to be a foreigner and fled when
he was detected. He was pursued, but
succeeded in making his escape.
These men also testified that four shots
had been fired instead of two, as had at
first been stated. Two bullets were
found in Mr.. Rice's body and the other
two are believed by the police to have
been signal to the murderer's accom-
plices who were watching the other ap
proaches to the Rice home for their vic
tim.
Knew Mr.. Rice's Habits.
While refusing to make public the en-
tire results of their investigations, the
police profess to have established that
Mr. Rfce's movements were closely
watched all of yesterday evening and
that when he left the Euclid Club for his
home assassins were lying in wait for
him in at least three places. The sta
tioning of man in the rear Of the house
showed that the murderers were ac-
quainted with Mr.. Rices habits, as he
frequently walked across the golf links
and entered his home from the back.
The police are searching for an Italian
golf caddy who, it is said, had sworn
vengeance against Mr.. Rice for siding
against him in. fight which he had with
another caddy. and which resulted in his
dismissal
Interest in the case was heightened to-
night when word was received from New
York that William Nelson Cromwell, who
has been associated with Mr.. Rice In sew
eral business deals. was coming to Cleve
land as result of the tragedy.
May Know of Enemies
1t is not known what information Mr..
Cromwell may have, If any, in respect
to the possible motive for the murder, but
the police hope that he may be able to
inform them whether Mr.. Rice had any
enemies whose animosity would have
drawn them so far as to commit murder.
Mrs. Rice and her four daughters are
expected to reach Cleveland in the morn
ing. They are hurrying back from
Wianno, Mass, where they had been
spending the summer and where Mr.
Rice had planned to meet them in a
couple of weeks.
A reward of 5000 has been offered by
Judge E. ]. Blandin and Attorney Frank
H Ginn Rice'S law partners, and j. B.
Zerbe, for the capture of the murderers

LYNCHBURG, Va, August 6-Miss
Maude Walker, we'll known society
belle. noted for her love of athletics and
life in the open, is setting the fashion
able set Of Lynchburg an example which
is attracting much attention. Yesterday
afternoon Miss Walker went out for
swim in the James river. The water
is usually very swift, and for three
hours she buffeted the current and made
without resting for moment, and when
she emerged from the cold river water
she was as fresh as when she entered
for the swim, exhibiting not the least
signs of fatigue.
Long Journey in Canoe.
Miss Walkers mother is also a de-
votee of athletics, and few years ago
the mother and daughter. in company
with three young men, made the trip
from Lynchburg to Richmond in a small
canoe consuming several days, the party
spending the time in camping and fish

years old, is very pretty and is amply
able to take care of herself in every
way. She is wealthy and general social

Upstate Wants Gaynor.

l am told that upstate democrats are
pegging away at the mayor every day,
getting him on the ng-distance phone
and urging him to come out in the open
as a candidate. These upstate demo-
Gratis do not fear Charles F. Murphy.
They know that Tammany Hall would
try to cut the life out of the mayor in
the election, but they think that Murphy
has received such an unmerciful licking
that he and his followers can be regarded
as negligible factors.

Backed by the Highbrows.

The next man in the democratic eye is
Thomas Mott Osborne, mayor of Auburn.
He is the candidate Of what might be
called the highbrOw element in the
party-that is to say, the reformers, the
mugwumps, If you please. He is being
backed by the Democratic League, which
is organization of the element thus
described. He has a good record, is a
competent man and it is believed would
make good run.
Mayor Gaynor is regarded by some as
being dark horse. 1t is true that Mayor
Gaynor has declared that he is not an
aspirant for gubernatorial honors. In
his mayoralty campaign he promised that
he would stay four years on the job and
try to give Greater New York good
mayor. He has made good and in another
chapter l will particulariZe on this point.
But practical politicians point out that
it maye be advisable for Mayor Gaynor to
take under prayerful consideration the
question of allowing himself to be drafted
for governor by popular demand, II 1t
should fall out that way. Everybody
believes that Mayor Gaynor's ambition is
the presidency. The politicians say that
if another democrat should be elected
Governor of New York this fall he might
overshadow the mayors supposed ambi-
ton. They go on to say that If the de-
mand for Mayor Gaynor should be so
overwhelming that he could not refuse it
and he should be elected governor he
would be a very formidable candidate
against Harmon of Ohio.

Madriz Agents Coming Here
to Negotiate.
SOJ0URNING IN NEW YORK
Will Explain Their Mission at State
Department.
OFFICIALS TO RECEIVE THEM
Policy of Impartiality Observed in
Dealing With the Factions
in Nicaragua.

Although not finally arranged it is
potable that Modesto Barrios and Sc
bastfan Salinas, ENJOYS from the Madriz
government of Nicaragua, now in New
York city, will come to this city soon
for the purpose of negotiating with the
officials of the State Department for the
restoration Of peace in Nicaragua.
There is authority for the statement
that while the United States. government
has no diplomatic relation with the gov
ernment of Nicaragua, the representatives
of the Madriz faction will receive the
same consideration from the officials of
the State Department that always has
been accorded to DR.. CastriIIo, the repre-
sentative here Of the Estrada faction
Specific denial was made at the State
Department yesterday of the published
report that the Madrz ENJOYS would not
be received at the department.
Impartiality Observed.
1t was pointed out that the department
had always endeavored to deal with
strict impartiality with the representa-
tives of the opposing Nicaraguan factions
and that as DR.. Castrilio was received
when he had any business to transact. it
would be manifestly unfair to refuse to
receive the representatives of the Madriz
faction, who have travelled all the way
from the Nicaraguan capital to make
certain propositions to this government
designed to bring about an end to the
revolution.
While no official admissions have been
made on the subject, there is ground for
the statement that DIR. MadriZ is dis
posed to accept any reasonable arrange
ment made by the United States govern
ment for the settlement of existing polit-
ical troubles in Nicaragua and sent his
ENJOYS to this city to sound the officials
OF the State Department on that point.
1t is understood that DR.. Madriz is even
willing to relinquish the office of presi-
dent If that is necessary for the resump-
tion of diplomatic relations and the estab-
lishment of the Nicaragua government
on a constitutional basis.
Corea Bearer of News.
The present attitude OF the Madriz gov
ernment is said to be based upon repre-
sentations made to MadriZ and his lead
ing partisans at Managua within the last
few weeks by DR.. Corea, formerly Mica
raguan minister in this city, who made
the journey to the Nicaraguan capital for
the special purpose of informing Dr.
MadriZ personally Of the official senti-
ment at Washington and the only possi-
BILE condition OF meeting it.

The Old Fashioned School Game
wherein Everybody Played.
There Is no such spirit in the school
today as in old times. They nave
football eleven, it is true, and it holds
its head we'll up among its mates; 1T
tie above 'em, too, most of the time
the old schools the old school yet,
tell 'em-but, after all, it isn't the old
game nor the old spirit. | go out some
times to watch them and think, "Nell,
it's a queer game they play now ana
call football" They trot out in such
astonishing toggery-padded and guard
ed from shin to crown, welted. belted'
strapped and buckled beyond rec0gnl-
ton. And there's no independence in
the play; every move has to be told
'em. It's as if they weren't big enough
to run alone, and so they hire a big

who stands round in red sweater and
wells and berates them. Not man an
sWers back; he doesn't dare to. They
don't dare eat plain Christian food. but

invalids. I've seen 'em at game not
dare take plain drink of water. When
they got thirsty they sucked at a wet
sponge, like babes at the bottle!
1t was not so in our day. No apron
strings of a university coach were tied
to us. We were free born men. When
we wanted to play we got together and
went down to the old pasture, to the
big oak tree that stood near the middle
of il. and there we would choose up
and take off our coats and vests and
neckgear and pile them round the OAK
and walk out on the field and go at it
everybody-not a pitiful dozen or so
while the rest stood with their hands
in their pockets and looked on, but ev
erybody! And it was football; no play
ing half an hour without seeing the
| ball in the air once. We kicked it al
the time except when we missed it
and then we kicked the other fellows
shins And when we got thirsty we
went down to the spring and took. al

business that these objections
serve the same? Does any one

Would any one receive credit on
such a proposition? And yet this

to do.
Is it fair?
Is it equitable?
Is there justice in it?
