KILLING OF WOMEN IS
CRUEL AND WANTON.
Burglar is Refused Money,
Shot to Kill.

Springfield, Mass, April 2.-IIis de,
mand for money having been ignored.
a masked burglar who had entered the
drawing room of the residence of Mrs.
Sarah j. Dow, on Round Hill, in the
northern part of the city last night
shot and killed Miss Martha B. Black
stone, 80 years old, public school
teacher, and probably fatally wounded
Miss Harriet P. Dow a fellow teacher
Miss Blackston was shot through the
heart as she ran screaming into an
adjoining room. Miss Dow's skull was
fractured, and trepaning will be re-
sorted to in an effort to save her life.
The murderer escaped through the
grove. With Miss Dow and Miss Black
stone in the dining room were the for
mer's mother and sister.
The murder was most wanton. Mrs.
Dow, her two daughters and Miss
Blackstone, who was a guest for the
night, were seated in the living room
of the home about a small table solv-
ing a picture puzzle.
The first intimation they had of an
intruder was demand for money from
the dining room just in the rear. They
looked up to see a masked man in the
dark doorway, threatening them with
a revolver. Mrs. Dow retained her
composure and replied: 1--WE have no
money" but Miss Blackstone, in fright
jumped to her feet and ran screaming
into a reception room. The burglar
said:
IF you want to be killed keep on
screaming"
He fired as he spoke the bullet en-
tering Miss Blackstone's left breast
Death followed instantly
The murderer hardly paused to see
his victim fall before he turned the re-
yolver on the group, shooting Miss
Harriet Dow in the head. He then ran
to the front door, leaping over the
plaza railing and disappeared. The
police have no clue to his identity.
Both Miss Blackstone and Miss Dow
were teachers in the Jefferson avenue
school. Miss Blackstone was 80 years
old and Miss Dow 80

TO MERGE BIG HOTELS
INTO A GIANT TRUST.
Such Scheme is Planned
in New York.

New York, April "A $3.50, 600, 900
hotel combine" to conduct a chain Of
great hotels in the large cities of the
country is project now in course Of
development in this city. It is reported
that the several gentlemen of vast
financial resource who are behind the
scheme will incorporate within a
short time.
One of these is SAID to be Thomas
NJ. Hillard a linen manufacturer and
formerly one of the managers of the
Waldorf-Astoria, where he now re-
sides.
Another is Isaac Emerson, the bro
mo settler manufacturer.
There are, it is said, at least half
dozen others even better known in
this city, but their names have not as
yet been given out.
The vastness of the scale on which
the project is planned, was revealed
when the concerned took over the
lease of the Vanderbilt Hotel, now in
course of construction on Park avenue
between Twenty-third and Thirty
fourth streets. This hotel is being
built by Alfred C. Vanderbilt at a
cost of $4,OOOOOO for construction
alone.
When it is opened for patrons, w.
H. Marshall, now assistant manager OF
the Waldorf-Astoria, will be in charge
for the syndicate which has taken over
the lease.
1t is said that the plans already
formulated provide for the bringing Of
large hotels in Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago and Newport under control of
the combine.
The scope of the Hotel Trusts pos
sibilities is almost unlimited. The
vast capital which is guaranteed by
the wealth of the men in the organiza-
ton would enable them to obtain es-
adjustments in every large city of
the country
In New York it is expected several
other houses besides the new Wander
Wilt will be taken over.

A Simple Campaign.

Along with the cry for a re-
turn to the simple life comes
public approval of a return to
the old style political campaign
in Missouri, where the candidate
gets out and works for a party
nomination and keeps his hands
clean although the mud pot
stands hereby.
This is apropOs the campaign
being carried on by Governor Da-
vid r. Francis, who is out for the
Democratic nomination for
United States Senator against
James A. Reed of Kansas City.
Governor Francis has said that
under no circumstances would
he engage in "mud-slinging''
preferring defeat to this some
what popular method Of cam
paigning.
When Democracy through di-
visional strife threatened to be
divided hopelessly against itself
the party leaders of all factions
gathered at Kansas City and re-
corded a promise that for the flu
ture all personal successes should
be secondary to party welfare.
In keeping with that promise
Governor Francis has gone out
into the state speaking from plat
forms in scores of towns and not
once so far has his pledge been
broken. 1t is a distressing fea-
ture Of campaigns in both parties
that the bitterness of a contest
does not die with the nomination
and the opposing party often
finds its best material in what
some opponent has said during
a campaign against the successful
candidate.
If there were more of the con
tests waged after the manner Of
that being conducted by Gov.
ernor Francis there would BE-
more party harmony, less ran.
