Ill, out of work, and despondent,
Daniel Ryan, IS years old, former
city employe, tried to end it all by
killing his two children and himself.
The father succeeded in sending a
bullet through the head Of his 3-year-
old daughter, Emily, killing her in
stantly. In addition he probably
fatally wounded his 2-year-old boy,
Willie. Ryan then shot himself in
the head. An hour after the shooting
he was reported to be sinking rapidly
in the hospital to which he was taken
with the wounded child. After hav-
ing shot the two children and wound
ed himself, Ryan had sufficient
strength left to gather up the two lit
tie ones in his arms and press them
to him as he sat down in chair to
await the end. Mrs. Ryan, returning
to the house from the store where
she had gone to buy candy for the
children, stood transfixed for mo-
ment at the tragic spectacle and then
ran screaming from the house. She
managed to gasp out the fact of the
tragedy to a neighbor and then fell
in a swoon on the sidewalk.

Senators and Representatives
Confer With President to
Save Party
PARTY UNITED FOR ADMINISTRATION
POLICIES N THE COMING ELECTION
Statement Issued Is First Step in the
Plan Of Getting Experimentation.
nj Fight Might Permit Election OF
Two Democratic congressman.

Washington. Jan. 31.-President
Taft's recent suggestion of a united
Republican front. in support of the
policies of the administration, and in
facing the next congressional election
is beginning to bear fruit.
The congressional delegation of
South Dakota conferred with the presi-
dent Saturday afternoon, with the OBJ
ject of devising plan to remedying
the seemingly hopeless factional trou-
bles in the ranks of the Republican
party of that state. Senators Gamble
and Crawford and Representatives
Martin and Burke went over the situ-
alton with the president. Postmaster
General Hitchcock was present dur
ing most of the conference. The fol-
lowing statement was given to the
press:
"At the invitation of the president
the delegation from South Dakota Wis
tied him at his Office this afternoon.
The presidents object was to discuss
with the congressman the possibility
of the party's presenting united
administration and the securing of a
Republican representation in the next
congress. The president expressed
the hope that there would be no fac
tional effort likely to disturb party
unity in the state in the next cleo
ton"
Realized Danger to Party.
This statement was apparently in
tended as the first step toward having
the warning political factions of South
Dakota get together under the admin
istration standard. The president is
said to- have been brought to realize
that unless llariaony be obtained the
chances will be strongly in favor Of
the return Of two Democrats from
South Dakota in place of ths.two Re-
publicans who now have seats in the
house.

would be folly to pass river and

Several other senators who. for per

Paris. Jan. Silt was unofficially
announced that the total fall of the
river at noon was two feet. The side
walk at the corner of Rue Caumar-
tin and Rue St. Lazare fell int the

period of the disaster is surprising
feature. The reciting Of public pray
ers continues in the churches. Yes
terday the image of st. Genevieve, the
patron saint Of the parish, was car
ried in solemn procession through the
afflicted districts OH the left bank of
the Seine. Messages of sympathy and
financial contributions from, abroad
are still pouring in. Among the nu-
merous sums cabled direct from the
United States were $4,000 from the
Standard Oil company, 100000 from
Speyer and company and $1,000 from
Frank ]. Gould.
The situation at the critical points
was ameliOrated to considerable eX-
hood of the st. Lazare station. En-
gineers now hope to be able within q
few days to shore up the underground
workings and SO prevent collapse
of the streets and buildings, which
has appeared imminent for several
days. Beginning this morning. the
authorities concentrated their efforts
on the restoration of the crippled pub
lie services and the reestablishment
of the now demoralized railroad COM
munication. There is no prospect Of
restoring the electric light and power
systems this week.

PRISONER SPENDS NIGHT
IN EMPRESS OFFICE VAULT.

Weston, W. Va, Dec. 27.-William
Furby, a negro, for hours tonight
was between fires-death at the hands
of mob or suffocation in the iron
vault of the express office at the
local railway station. Outside the
little building a crowd of several hun
dred persons waited from afternoon
until late into the night, demanding
the life of the prisoner for alleged as
saults upon Miss Flora Anglin, daugh-
ter of a prominent farmer, and for
an attempt to murder her.
While the mob waited a large squad
OF deputies and the sheriff guarded
the express office, and kept the negro
locked in the express safe, where he
had little air to breathe.
For hours the crowd waited, but
for want of leader, it failed 10 move
with sufficient force to dislodge the
deputies and take possession of the
express room. They stormed the place
several times, breaking all the win
dows and forcing open the doors. but
were unable to gain access to the sSfe.
The only hope of the authorities,
however, to get their prisoner 10 the
jail at Clarksburg, as they intended
to do when the mob collected, was in
the arrival of state troops. An order
was issued early in the evening for
the mobilization of the militia at sew
eral points, but although special trains
were provided, It was doubtful II the
soldiers would reach the scene be-
fore early morning.

Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. 27.-Twt
uersons were killed and more thar
fifty hurt, four seriously, in a street
car collision on the Inter-City via
duet between here and Kansas City,
Kas., tonight.
Both cars belonged on the Mime
sofa avenue line and We're headed
vest Car No. 1T, when near the
east end of the bridge, at a point
thirty feet above ground, lost its troll
ley. Car No. 1863, in charge of Motor
man George Green, came along be-
fore the trolley had been replaced.
Green did not see No. 1T until his
car was within three feet of 1t, and
before he could apply the brakes, the
moving car had crashed into the
dead" one.
The collision caused every light in
the moving car to go out. A wild
scramble followed -Four persons fell
off the viaduct into the sand below.
Within the cars men and women
fought to get out. Window panes were
crashed, many being injured by
broken glass.
Warning of the accident was first
given by Charles Lewis, one of the
men who fell off the viaduct. AL
though badly hurt, he rushed to a
nearby railroad office to spread the
alarm. A moment after telling a
clerk of the wreck, Lewis collapsed.
