W. D. ALTERNATIVE SHOT DEAD
BY JN0. GLAAB AT MCCLURE

1t was learned from other sources
however, that Abernathie had beer
at Cape Girardeau all day, and wa;
coming home and when he reached
the Glaab home he stopped and tap
ped on the window Glaab rushed out
of the house with a gun and shot
Abernathie in the back inaicting {
terrible wound, which tore away q
section of the victims backbone and
killed him almost instantly.
What caused Abernathie to stop al
the Glaab home and tap on the win
dow is matter for conjecture at pres
ent. One report is that there had
been bad feeling between the two
men for some time, and that threats
had been made.
Both the men involved in the affair
are prominent in that section of the
county and have extensive family
connections. The story caused much
excitement here last night.

DEFEAT EFFOpl'se' :
TAKE AWAY .hER
FROM Cannon
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-An eff
fort to take away from Cannon the
power to determine what part of
the recent message of the president
should go to the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce,
and what part to the judiciary COM
mlttee, was defeated in the house
today. A resolution providing for
the reference was reported by Payne
of the committee on ways and
means and after lying on the table
for time, was called for consid-
GRAFTON. A vigorous protest against
the resolution was made by I'm
derwood of Alabama, who stated
the house itself should have some
voice in selecting the committee to
which the business should be re-
ferred to. He said the country ex-
pected the members to be respon-
sible and did not want the speaker
to direct their legislation. The re-
solution as reported carried the
committee amendment providing
that portion of the message which
relates to the judiciary be referred
to the judiciary committee, and as
much of the message which relates
to interstate commerce TO be re-
ferred to the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce. Thus
the speaker will be given power
to determine to which committee
should go the section of the mes
sage relating to the proposed Unit
ed States court of commerce and
the section relating to the federal
incorporation of corporations doing
an interstate business.
