KILLED LEAVING PULPIT
FANATIC SHOOTS EDITOR
ASSASSIN MAKES ESCAPE
Victim Was in Act of Shaking Assas-
sins Hand When Killed-Congrega-
ton Fled to Shelter.

Pittsburg, PA sermon on martyr
dem, in which Frank Skala, an editor
and prominent mission worker, had de-
clared himself willing to lay down his
life for the Christian cause, was followed
by his assassination in a highly sensa-
tional manner and by the shooting down
also of a fellow church leader, John Gay.
Arm in arm, the two missionaries were
leaving the little Congregational church
in Woods Run, a suburb. A raggedly
dressed and collarless man poked his
way through the crowd, and when he
was but a step behind the leaders he
pressed a revolver to Skala's head and
fired twice. Skala fell dead. Gay, who
threw up his right hand as if to ward
off the weapon, was struck in the thumb
and a second bullet was buried in his
head. He fell unconscious across the
body of his colleague.
For a moment-for several moments
the assassin stood over his prey in
amazement at his deed, fourishing his
revolver while the panic-tricken crowd
fled to shelter.
Inc maQman was Jan hduON ltCis IL
character known to most of the mission
for his shiftless habits, slovenly dress
and radical opinions. A moment before
he had meekly read from juvenile leaflets
in the Sunday school led by Skala; pre-
v%iously he had sat in a back pew of the
church during the regular sermon, and
at the commencement of the services
Skala had shaken his hand in greeting.
The church people were too frightened
to grab the assassin, and after flourish
ing his weapon and stamping his foot on
the bodies, he made off down tie rail
road tracks and disappeared.
None of the church workers believe
there was any method in Radowitch's
madness. He was a man who had lived
at the Salvation Army barracks and as
a charitable parasite elsewhere, but was
always at variance with the teachings OF
his Christian leaders. 1t is doubtful il
he had ever seen Skala before today.

TOSS W AT THEODORE
Geatest Day at Porto Maurizio Since
Augustus Time.

Porto Maurizio, Italy.-Ex-President
Roosevelt Sunday opened the new boule-
ward, which has been named after him,
and accepted honorary citizenship of the
ancient and historic city of Porto Maui
rizio. According to those who have long
memories, never before have local, po-
l~itical, religious and all other differences
been so completely obliterated as upon
this occasion.
The carriage containing Nj. and Mrs.
Roosevelt and the mayor was pelted with
nosegays tied with ribbons bearing the
words Long Live Roosevelt" as they
traversed the cheering town, until it was
overlooking with flowers.
A stone, bearing the name of the
street, "Vialle Theodore Roosevelt" was
then unveiled and Mr.. Roosevelt broke
the flower chain which was stretched
across the driveway and amid a new out
burst of %"vivas" led Mrs. Roosevelt up
the drive to the hotel. There the mayor,
in a iattering speech, told how proud
the municipality was to confer citizen
ship upon the great opposite of Peace"

FEARED HARM TO ROOSEVELT
Fanatic Arrested, but No Weapons Were
Found on Him.

Porto Maurizio, Italy.-The Italian Sc
cret service police, who are guarding Miss
Carew's villa, where the Roosevelts are
stopping, arrested an Italian named Ma
gagno, who, upon the pretext that he
was carrying a letter from a correspond
ent, ~endeavored to force his way into the
villa.
The man was searched, but no weapons
were found on him. Immediately wild
rumors were spread in Porto Mauirzio
that the prisoner had followed Colonel
Roose ,clt from Naples with no friendly
intentions.
Magagno explained that he desired to
have audience with Roosevelt in order to
get a job as valet when he became pres
ident again. A letter written in Eng
lish found on Magagno bears out this
statement. The police then wired to
Bologna to ascertain if the mar has o
police record. They believe he is de-
mented or a harmless crank similar to
those who annoyed Mr.. Roosevelt dur
ing his tenancy of the White House.

PULLMAN RATES REDUCED
Commerce Commission Will Have Thanks
of People.

Washington. - The interstate COM
merce commission in a decision holds it
to be unjust and unreasonable for the
Pullman Company to charge equally for
the upper and lower berths in its sleep
ing cars. Ditferential charges are or
dered in several instances and Pullman
rates from Chicago to the Pacific coast
are ordered reduced.
The commission ruled that the present
Pullman rate of SIP from st. Paul to the
Pacific coast was too high and ordered
it reduced to SO. The present rate of
S12 for an upper berth is ordered re-
duced to $3.50.
A short nights journey, the commits
sion holds, should not carry a rate of
more than $1.50 for a lower berth and
$1.1o for an upper. The rate of So
which the company has maintained from
st. Paul to Fargo, N. d., 242 miles, is
ordered reduced accordingly.

SO DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR AND "a
REPUBLICANS AGAINST.
Naval Bill Carries $12s,o37 ,eo2, or S..
100000 Less Than Asked-Hobson
Wanted Three Battleships.

Washington.-By a decisive vote OF
1852 to ITO, the house Friday authorized
the construction of two battleshlps to
cost Sc, 1000, 900 each. Thirtythree Dem
ocrats voted for two battleships and
twenty-four Republicans against the
proposition. This action was taken just
prior to the passage of the naval appro-
p~riation bill, carrying $12S,O 37 500. This
amount is about $3,Oo0,OOO less than
was recommended by the navy depart
ment. In addition to the battleships, the
bill also provides for the construction OF
two fleet golfers and four submarine
boats.
AS amended on motion of Mr.. Fitz.
gerald of New York, the two battleships
and two feet golfers must be constructed
by firms operating under the eightIhoar
law.
The committee on naval affairs had
reported in favor of authorizing two bat.
tleships. Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota,
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee, offered an amendment providing for
only one battleship, while Mr.. Hobson
proposed an amendment providing for
three. Mr.. Hobson contended that three
battleships would give no increase, but
would provide only for the ordinary de-
probation in the naval force. By an al
most unanimous vote the house rejected
this proposition.

Monday in the trial of the suit brought
