WILD CAR0USAL
WITH A CORPSE
Negro Waltze,. Down Street
With Body of Dead Wo-
man as Partner

Cincinnati, Jan. 1.-THE gruesome
sight of a negro singing and waltzing
down the street with the corpse of a
colored womai. in his arms startled
Patrolmen McCorkhill and Reynolds
early today. The body later proved
to be that of the negro's wife. The
negro was taken to the police station
and gave his name as Thomas Har-
vey. He was held for safe keeping.
1t was learned that Harvey. grief
stricken over his wife's death. had
left the house in the afternoon and
did not return until midnight when
the undertakers were in the house
preparing the body for burial. Ac-
cording to the police, Harvey acted
like wild man. Grabbing a piece
of wood from the kitchen, he drove
everyone from the house. Then he
placed cigarette in the dead woman's
mouth and taking the body in his
arms started out of the house. He
put the corpse in the front doorway
while he returned to the house and

important Legislation to
Promote Rifle Practice
IL Clubs PROPERLY
INTRODUCED Bl REPRESENTATIVES,

Washington. Jan. 11.-Important
legislation designed to promote prac-
;ice with the military rifle may be
enacted by congress this winter. The
army ard national guard have been
equipped with the new Springfield but
the expense of obtaining these weap-
ons from the government has re-
stricted practice among civilians.
Some hundreds of thousands Of krags
have been retired. however and if
available for issue would doubtless
be an incentive to civilians to prac-
tice. Representative Hull of Iowa,
chairman OF the house Of committee
on military affairs. has therefore in
troduced a bill on the subject which
has the approval Of the war depart
ment as represented by the secretary
of war. assistant secretary OF war,
chief of staff and chief OF ordinance,
as we'll as of the national board for
the promotion of rifle practice and the
National Rifle association OF America.
The bill provides that the secretary
of war is authorized to issue, without
expense to the United States, maga-
zine rifles and aDpendages. not of the
existing service model. These are to
be issued to rifle clubs organized un-
der the rules of the national board of
promotion of rifle practice, and to
schools having uniformed corps of ca
diets. The secretary OF war is au-
thoriZed to prescribe regulations to
safeguard the United States against

Winnipeg, Jan. 11.-A highly I'M
portant step towards the deelopment
OF Canada's great hinterland was TAX
en- when the Athabasca Oil and AS
phalt company was organized at a
meeting held in the Royal Alexandra
hotel in this city yesterday. Many
capitalists OF Canada and the. United
States were present, or will be as
sociated with the company which will
be capitalized at s5.0OO.OOO and which
will concentrate its efforts in the op-
Grafton of the oil fields in the vicinity
of Fort Murray. 400 miles north of
Edmonton, which are believed to be
the richest in America.

Indications Point to His Se-
lection by President as
Pinchot's Successor
IS INTIMATE FRIEND Of;
THE LATE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Has Been ut the Head Of the Forest
Rangers In the Black Hills and Ia
Thoroughly Familiar With Whole
Subject Of Forestry.

Washington, Jan. lin casting
ABOUT for successor to Clifford
P1nchot for the head forestry service.
1t was reported today that President
Taft might offer the place to Seth
Bullock. United States marshal for
South Dakota. At the present time
Albert F. Potter, designated as the
acting head Of the service, seems to
be the leading candidate, but there
are persistant rumors that the presi-
dent may conclude that an entirely
new man might better reorganize the
service.
Bullock is in many respects as
close friend of former President
Roosevelt as is Mr.. Pinchot. He was
once chief of the forest rangers in
the Black Hills. and is thoroughly
familiar with the whole subject of
forestry. The political situation in
South Dakota has been giving the
president some concern Of late and
Senators Crawford and Gamble have
been frequent callers at the white
house. Bullock has been designated
for reappointment as marshal for
South Dakota. His term expires this
month.

SUPERVISORS
ARE REPORTED
Committee Will Recommend
Favorable Action on Nearly
All of Them

Washington, Jan. 11.-All but four
or five Of the 329 supervisors of CEN
sus appointed by President Taft will
be favorably reported to the senate.
The census committee of which Sena-
tor LaFollette is chairman. met to.
day and decided upon this action. Sew
eral cases of the nominations OF
supervisors not ordered reported re-
suited from protests filed with the
committee. by senators. In each OF
these instances the hearing will be
held by the subcommittee. There
has been some criticism over the de.
lay in acting upon these nominations
as they were sent in by the president
on December g. 1t was explained to-
day that the delay was merely the re.
suit of the difficulty in getting a full
committee meeting. and that as the
supervisors were all at work, no harm
had resulted.

THE TAFT PLAN
HAS OPPOSITION
National Live Stock Associa
tion Not Satisfied With In
terstate Commerce Court

Denver. Jan. 1l.-Opposition to
President Taft's proposed interstate
commerce court was voiced by many
delegates to the American National
Live Stock association which opened
here today. The members see the
hand of the railroads behind the
proposition, they assert. Many dele
gates favor making the interstate
commerce commission a court of last
resort except in cases where confis-
cation is alleged. in which they claim
the federal court only is competent to
have jurisdiction. Among the topics
that will occupy the attention of the
convention is the demand that the
duty of Is cents on hides. removed at
the extra session of congress, be re-
stored. Today it seemed probable
that special mention of the Pinchot
case would not be in any resolution
to come before the convention.

OF New Orleans To Shriners
CRESCENT IMPERIAL COUNCIL
1 THOSE AVE


New Orleans, Jan. Ito furnish
an idea to the character of entertain
ment that will be afforded the repre-
sentatives to the imperial council
Mystic Shrine at the April conven-
ton, and all Shriners who come to
New Orleans for the monster gath
ering. the committee of Jerusalem
temple, which has charge of the ar
rangements, calls attention to the
fact that $4,000 alone will be ex-
pended In decorative features. This
does not include the many different
forms of illumination, the plans for
which are now being drawn. The lat
ter will cost more than the decora-
tions, so it can be seen at glance
that Jerusalem temple members are
not overlooking anything to make the
stay of the visitors to New Orleans
from every part of North America the
most pleasant they have yet expert
enced.
The programme of entertainment
proper will embrace features distinc-
tive of New Orleans. This form OF
entertainment will no doubt appeal to
the visitors as it will be different
from anything they have as yet par
ticipated in. During their visit the
Shriners will have ample opportunity
of rides on the Mississippi river when
they will be in a position to get mag
nificent views of the great harbor.
Every hotel and business house
here has been placarded with the
words "Glad-ukum'' printed in large

the limit of issue would probably be
fixed at about one rifle to each ten
members of club in good standing.

vides for the promotion OF rifle prac-
tice in schools, colleges. universities
and civilian clubs by supplying cer-
tain ammunition, prizes. the holding

for which the sum Of 100000 Is sp.

Up to the present time this coun.
try has done nothing for its civilian
rifle clubs which are comparatively
few in number while in England it Is
estimated there are nearly 5000 with
membership of possibly half a mil.
lion men and boys. The work with
the civilian clubs is designed to reach
the 'unorganized militia" which
would constitute the bulk of our vol
unteer armies in case of war. On
this subject General Bell, the chief
Of staff. recently said: The 'encour.
asemcnt of rifle practice among our
citizens and school boys is of the
greatest Importance in this country,

Making sudden and dramatic an.

were watching the slow flight of two
dirigible balloons late yesterday aft

throng into a frenzy of enthusiasm by
a spectacular flight in a Farman hi.

Curtis had given all exhibition in a
new and untried machine in which
lated Clifford Harmon made sone
short flights. Charles E. Willard, in
the Curtis No. 1. had also made sue
cessful flight and several times Roy
Knabenshue and Lyonel Beachy had
ascended in two small dirigibles and
manoeuvered their craft. but nothing
to thrill the crowd occurred until
Paulhan swept into the game.
