THREE MEN ARE HELD
FOR PRINCES DEATH

THOMASVu4LE, Ca. Nov. .5.-Until
the decision announced by the coroner's
jury, 1t was thought that w. G. Byrd
was the only man directly implicated
in the killing of {. L. Prince here Sun
day afternoon, he being the one who
gave himself up and acknowledged he
did the shooting, but that it was done
In self-defenSe.
The coroner's jury was in session the
greater part of three days and many
witnesses were examined win the re-
suit that w. G. Byrd was charged with
the murder in tho first degree, 3. K.
Gum in the second degree and Jim
stevenson accessory after the fact. 1t
is said that there had been bad blood
between Gum and Prince for some time,
but il is rot known exactly how the
other men were mixed up In IL or why
Byrd should have done the killing, and
there is thought, to be some sensational
evidence not yet given out. A commit
ment trial will probably he held In a
day or two and more may develop then.

one for Mr. Taft and il is email won
der that of late he has APPEARED
fagged and worn out n times. Dur
ing the past few weeks he mas been
absent from Washington several times
to attend banquets and meetings in
outside cities. Trips were made with
he minimum loss of time ard conse-
quently left the President little time
for rest or recreation.
The schedule of the Presidents pub
lie engagements for the next three
months shows that he will be kept
busy until the arrival of warm wealth
er. Week after next he is to 20 to
Chicago In response 70 an invitation
to speak at the ST. Patricks day ban
quet OF the Irish Fellowship Club of
that city. The program prepared for
the day is sufficient % show the strain
imposed upon the President on such
occasions. He is scheduled to arrive
in Chicago at s o'clock in the morning
and will be escorted by a reception
committee to the La Sale hotel.
where he will listen to the informal
addresses of welcome. At IL O'Clock
