41o RECEIVE DEGREES.
Dr., Washinqton GLADDEN. Delivers Ad'
dress at Exercises Held in a
Huge Tent.

At Ohio State university, Columbus,
410 seniors went through the last
rites of their college courses, at the
33d annual commencement exercises
which were held in the big tent east
of Mirror Lake. The day was warm
and both audience and class suffered
from the intense heat beneath the
white canvas. The crowd of relatives
and friends of the graduates filled the
tent to overflowing and extended up
the side of the ravine back to the in
closure. Immediately after the con-
ferring of degrees the class came to-
gether for the last time, at the ar
mory.
Music by the Ziegler-Howe orches-
ira occupied the time taken by the
forming of the class into the groups
receiving the same degree.
The entire class, in cap and gown,
filed into the tent to the strains OF
"The President" The invocation was
pronounced by President William Ok
ley Thompson, and was followed by the
prelude to the annual address. The
annual address was delivered by Rev.

PstrIlNan Kills Drunksrd.

Nelsonville, GA patrolman, who
Is charged with murder, was hur-
ried from here to Athens, there to be
lodged in a cell and afforded protec-
ton against a threatened mobbing.
He had shot and killed a mana

John Lanning Patrolman Thos. Cline
fatally wounded him as he endeavored
to evade the policeman's grasp. Lam
ming, neighbors charged, was drunk.
They asked Cline to arrest him. When
Lanning saw Cline approach he ran.
The officer fired two shots. The first
was wild; the second penetrated the
fugitives back, bringing instant death.
Cline was first arraigned on q
charge of manslaughter. Mayor Wells
released him under $1,000 bail. Ex-
citement ran high here and the case
was presented to Prosecuting Attorney
Foster. Sheriff Webster was called
and then a charge of second degree
murder was lodged against Cline.

SAY CHARLTON IS INSANE
AIienists Who Examined Wife Muir
derer Declare He Is lrrespon-
sibIe for His Acts.

New York.-Porter Charlton, self
confessed slayer of his wife, Mrs.
Mary Castle Charlton, whose body,
stuffed in a trunk he tossed into Lake
Como, Italy, may escape punishment
for his crime.
Powerful influences were put at
work Friday to save the prisoner, now
locked up in the Hudson county Jail
at Jersey City, from being extradited
to Italy.
Judge Charlton, the murderers ia
ther, consulted with r. Floyd Clarke
of this city and former Senator Will
liam D. Edwards of Jersey City, whom
he retained on Thursday after getting
word at Washington of the arrest of
his son as he stepped from the steam
er Princess Irene at Hoboken. At
this conference it was decided to fight
the extradition proceedings urged by
the Italian charge d'affaires in cable
gram to his government at Rome.
The murderer's counsel have de-
termined upon defense of insanity
to keep him from being removed from
this country. Four alienists visited
Charlton in his cell and watched him
for five hours. When they emerged
they said that he is without doubt
insane and that his particular species
of insanity is incurable.
Charlton, from the diagnosis of the
alienists, suffers from adolescent in
sanity, or dementia praecox, type
which they say makes him utterly ir-
responsible for his acts.

Blind Statesman startles Colleagues
by Detailing a Proposition Made
Him to Withdraw Opposition to
Recognizing indian Land Contracts.

Washington.-That he had been Of
fered a bribe of $4,000 to withdraw
his opposition to recognition Of the
so-called McMurry contracts for the
sale of Indian lands in Oklahoma was
the startling announcement made by
Senator Gore in the senate Friday.
The senator went further and added
to this declaration the statement that
a member of the house likewise had
been approached. This happened May
last, he said, two days after he had
introduced a resolution prohibiting
the approval of the contracts.
May G." he said, "a man who de-
clared he represented McMurry came
to see me. He was man who lives
in my home town, a man who had
been a friend in time of need. He
came to my office and assured me that
1t would be to my interest if would
call on the senator from Colorado.
"The intermediary added that
should advice against favorable re-
port on the resolution. There was a
suggestion that S25,OOO or, II neces-
sary, $4,000, would be available If
the contracts were not prohibited.
And l am informed that a similar
proposition was made to member OF
the house of representatives"
Mr.. Gore mentioned no names in his
charges. He merely declared that IAN
ex-senator from Nebraska and an ex.
senator from Kansas are interested in
these contracts" Mr.. Gore announced
that if the recessions of the senate
from the amendment to the general
deficiency bill we're sustained, Mr.. Nc
Murry would get $3,OOO,00O as his fee
for the sale of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw lands. The amendment in
question required proper approval OF
the contracts.
The declaration of Senator Gore
came on a question of personal privi
lege when the chair declared out OF
order his motion to reconsider the
vote by which the bill was passed
Senator Gallinger moved to lay the
bill on the table, and this prevailed.

A Battery Was Sent to the Front.

fense against Indians who had taken
the warpath. At that time General
Howe was a second lieutenant serving
with light battery of the Fourth ar
tillery.
Captain Jack and Scar-Faced Char
lie, Modoc chiefs, and their following
resented the attempt which was made
to get them to leave land on which
their tribe had dwelt for years.
Peace commissioners were sent to
members of the commission being Gen
eral Candy. Captain Jack asked for a
parley with the commission and the re-
quest was granted. AS soon as Cen
eral Candy and his fellow commission
members met the Indians Jack and his
followers opened fire and killed every
member of the peace party.
The Modocs then took to the lava
beds of the northwest and it was found
to be impossible to dislodge them by
means of direct assault. The troops
engaged against the Indians at the
first were cavalrymen, and all their op-
erations had to be conducted dis
mounted.
4 battery of the Fourth artillery, to
which Lieutenant Howe was attached,
was sent to the front and the she'll
ing of the Indians position was begun.
1t took long time to dislodge them.
for the lava beds were full of caves
which made excellent bomb-proofs.
Finally, however, starvation did what
shells could not do, and the Modocs
surrendered. Captain Jack, Scar-Faced
Charlie, Jim, and one or two other
Modocs were hanged for the murder Of
the peace commissioners.
Brigadier General Howe entered the
United States Military academy as a
cadet during the civil war. 1t was only
few years after he was graduated
that the light battery to which he was
attached was sent to the plains coun-
try and thence to Oregon.
After the Modoc war was over it
became the practise to attach light
batteries to expeditionary forces in
the field against the Indians, and Lieu.
! tenant Howe served in the Sioux cam.
paign in 1876, campaign which saw
the wiping out of General Custer and

several thousand Sioux warriors who

In the army General Howe is known
as one of the most proficient students
in the artillery branch of the service,
He was graduated from the artillery
school in 1873 and has served with
both the field and the sea coast
branches of the service.
The whole artillery system has un
dergone radical transformation and

rapid-fire guns for field service and the
