ST. PAUL MAN MURDERS
WIFE AND PRIEST
Worry and Drink Had Evidently Got
the Better of Him.

st. Paul, May BOP. J. Gibbons, a
livestock commission man of st. Paul
| Sunday shot and killed his wife at their
home in that city. A few minutes later
Gibbons rang the doorbell at the resi-
dence of Father E. j. Walsh, the young
pastor of st. Augustine Roman Cath
Ole church, and as the door was opened
fred two shots into the priest S head,
killing him almost instantly.
Gibbons has been an inmate of a drink
cure sanitarium Of Minneapolis. 1t is
said there have been several estrange-
ments between Gibbons and his wife,
and that Father Walsh has zach time
successfully interviewed as p~eacemaker.
At the Jail Gibbons said: "Its a Pc
culiar world, looking at it from any
angle. I've viewed it several ways and
don't know much about it yet. / had
a wife once who did not care for me but
liked the company of others. She had
children who were my children. She
could not have cared for them or she
would not nave dishonored them.
81 knew her treachery for over a
year, but said nothing. She suspected
l knew, but l never tried to verify her
suspicious. We lived hat way until
today. For me it was a hell on earth;
for her l dom know, and she can't tell.
1t is all over with us now, and 1 am at
peace with myself. Let follow what
may.
"When Father Walsh came to South
st. Paul j wal jubilant. He appeared
such a nice fellow, and 1 went TO him
and volunteered what support was in
my power to give him. He thanked me,
and we became fast friends. Then fol
lowed a game of treachery and deceit
a game that i was not in on, yet deeply
interested in.
81 had invited Father Walsh to my
home and introduced him to my wife
and family.
1.-THE visits Of Father Walsh were be-
coming too frequent to please me. He
appeared at my home in the afternoons
when i was at my Office and spent sew
eral hours in the company Of Mrs. Glib
b0ns. Sometimes my children were pres.
emit, but more often not. ] said nothing
to my wife-never mentioned that i
thought anything Of the frequent visits.
j had planned my little game which
worked so successfully"
Gibbons has lived la South 81. Paul
about rs years. For q long time be was
chief of police. About 10 years ago he
went into the commission business, in
which be Is said TO have been success
ful. About 20 years ago he married Mel
lie McGowan, and seven children were
born 10 them.

WONDER OF WORLD
FEAT OF GLENN CURTISS And
HIS AEROPLANE.
He Flew From Albany to New York, 1877
Miles, IN Two Hours and 80 Minutes
With His Heavier-Than-Air Machine
He Won a $4,000 Prize-Flew Faster
Than Mile-a- Minute Train.

IMAM M1le-a-Mlnute Train.
New York, May 30.-Glenn II. Curtiss
flew from Albany to New York city in
an aeroplane Sunday, winning the
$4,000 prize offered by the New York
World.
He covered the distance of 1877 miles
in two hours and 80 minutes, and came
TO earth as calmly and as lightly as a
pigeon.
His average speed for the distance
54.06 miles an hour-surpasses any other
record made by ~aeroplane in long-dis-
lance fight, and in its entirety his
fight eclipses anything man has at
tempted in a heavier-than-air machine.
The start was made from Albany at
1880 O'Clock Sunday morning under
weather conditions as nearly perfect as
the most fastidious aviator could de-
mand. One hour and 23 minutes later
he had made his stopping place near
Poughkeepsie, where there was an
hour s intermission. Resuming his flight
at 9:26 he sped s0uthward and landed
within the boundary Of Manhattan ISL
and at 1926.
Only 100 yards north Of the point at
which his craft settled stretched Spuy-
ten Devil creek, separating Manhattan
island from the mainland. Had he failed
to cross this his fight would have been
in vain, but as he swept over il the
prize was his. Thence TO Governor Is isl

Of a race already won.

SUGAR TRUST
next ON LIST
Government to Begin Suit
Against Big Concern.
CHARGES ARE SWEEPING

Proceedings Will Be Similar to Those
Pending Against the Standard Oil
Company and the Tobacco Trust,
but the Petition is Said to Be of
Greater Range-Fraud Probe Fur
nished Much Evidence.
Washington, Sept. 19.-Confirma-
tioD of the report that a petition for
the dissolution of the American Sugar
Refining company has been completed
by government officials has been given
out here. 1t was learned that the
present intention at the department
of justice is to file the suit in New
York some time this week.
The action will be entirely inde-
pendent of the criminal proceedings
which have attracted such wide at
tention and resulted in several con-
victions. Although the plans of At
torney General Wickersham have been
known here for some time subordinate
officials of the department declined to
discuss the case until they learned of
the conference between Mr. Wicker
sham and United States District At
torney Wise in New York.
While the suit is said to be similar
to proceedings brought against the
Standard Oil company and the Amer
lean Tobacco company, both of which
are pending in the supreme court, the
petition is said to be more sweeping
than either of those and to present
issues already passed upon by the su-
preme court.
For some time there had been in
official circles a tacit understanding
that no more actions for the dissolu-
tion Of big corporations would be be-
gun until after disposition of the oil
and tobacco cases.
The change of programme is said
to have resulted from information
gained by the government during the
investigation of the customs frauds
in New York, which supplied the at
torney generals office with the mate
rial necessary for a prosecution of the
American Sugar Refining company.

HUSBANDS SPOIL
AMERICAN WOMEN
Opinion Of Mrs. 0. h, P. Belmont,
Sutfragette Leader.

New York, Sept 19.-"American
women are spoiled by their indulgent
husbands" is the verdict of Mrs. O.
III. p. Belmont, after a two months
trip of investigation and study of the
women's advanced movement.
Mrs. Belmont visited her offices at
the National Suffrage headquarters
for the first time in several weeks.
Compared with the English women
the women of this country have no
idea of suffrage" declared Mrs Bel
mont.
"They will get suffrage over there
much quicker than we will here. The
trouble with us women here is that
we are too modest, too retiring"
Mrs. Belmont announced her plans
for big state fair here in December.
She met Miss Anne Morgan and Miss
Elizabeth Marbury in Paris and Miss
Marbury told her she would contribute
to the fair by helping to put on play.
Miss Morgan did not commit her
self to suffrage" said Mrs. Belmont
"She is deeply interested in her trades

her with her work and she told me
she would help me with the fair

opinion of Deputy Surveyor George j.
Smyth, before whom most of the per
sons are taken for failure to declare
