late last night
The young man was shot on the street
last night and the physicians say he may
die Rosini declares he will get well,
and refuses to give any clue that may
lead to the capture of his assailants. He
has proved such marvel of vitality in

BAILEY SAYS BRYAN
IS IMPUDENT AND IS
A BACK NUMBER too
Peerless Leader Is Presump-
tuous in Arrogating to Him
self Right to Pass on PreSi-
dental Possibilities

Special Dispatch to The Journal).
WASHINGTON. d. c.. July Ex-senator
Bailey thinks the questions propounded
by W. J. Bryan to Democratic candidates
and prospective candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination are impudent.
Mr. Bryan's attempt to subject all
candidates for the Democratic presidential
nomination to his examination is an ex-
hibition Of impudenee unparalleled. even
in his career
when he assumes that no man Is eligi-
bic for that high honor who does not
agree with him. and that he can eliminate
every candidate who refuses to be cate
chlsed by him, or whose answers do not
accord with his views. he is impudent.
Remembering that he has been three
times the presidential nominee of our
party. and that each defeat was more
decisive than the preceding one, any man
except Mr.. Bryan would not only modest
iy distrust his own eligibility as a can
didate. but would likewise distrust his
capacity TO select a. successful one
but the truth is. and Democrats might
as well face II, that Mr.. Bryan does not
intend for our party TO exercise its own
judgment, either In selecting a candidate
OF in making a platform If he can pre-
vent It; and he intends to force his pc
Views DOlu dS 70 thlcH anu dS 10
measures upon US; or else he probably in
tends to bolt our nomination for the pres
idency next year, just as he bolted the
Democratic nomination for governor in
his own state last year.
Il would be glad to see Mr.. Bryan cor
daily support our ticket. just as I would
be glad to see IL receive the cordial sup
port of every other man. but Mr.. Bryan
must be made TO understand that the
Democratic party win not be dominated
by him or by any other single individ-
ual"
When asked for an opinion, Senator
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi
smiled and walked back to the senate
chamber.

PIGS PROVE POOR
GARBAGE CONSUMERS

NEW HAVEN. Conn. July 20.-The
system of municipal collection OF garb-
age as tried out here for the last six
months has proved a rather costly ven
ture. The total expense has been at the
rate of $4,000 a year. the greater por-
ton Of which represents investmen. in
pigs
The pigs were purchased at the sug-
gestlon OF the city fathers with the
thought that they could be fed on the
garbage collected and after being fat
tened. disposed OF at a profit. But the
pig idea has been a decided failure and
there seems little indication OF the ex-
pected profit. OF the money thus ex-
pended only one-fifth has gone for the
actual collection OF garbage the care OF
the pigs accounting for the balance.

FACE DEATH ON OCEAN.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 27.-Forty
storm-tossed senators and congress-
men arrived in Washington this morn
ing with the story of perilous trip
around Cape Hatteras while en- route
from Panama that will serve for cloak
room talk for a month. Returning
from visit to the canal zone on the
Panama railroad on the steamer Col
on, the party ran into violent storm
off Hatteras last Friday night, and
for the ensuing twenty-four hours
there was grave uncertainty as to
whether the ship would be able to
survive the heavy sea. Five feet of
water filled the hold, the decks were
constantly awash, great seas repeated
ly broke over the ship and the situa-
tion became SO bad toward midnight
that the life boats were made ready
for launching and were fully stocked
with water and provisions.
The storm spent its force toward
morning, however, and the Colon made
New York last evening with every
body on board well and rejoicing.
Among those in the party were Rep
resentatives Needham and Knowland
of California; Martin and Taylor of
Colorado; Borland of Missouri; Nc
CURE of Oklahoma, and Mondell of
Wyoming. Nearly all were accom-
panied by their wives and many of
Al. 4 IL q "A
lies.
The trip both ways was one of the
stormiest in the history of the canal.
The first night out from New York
the Colon ran into a heavy storm and
the sea was so heavy nt times as to
flood the deck and the boat was driv-
en- one hundred miles out of its course.

GREELEY SCENE OF
MURDER AND SUICIDE

LITTLETON, Colo, Mar. 27.--His
conciliatory advances spurned by his
wife, whom he had followed here from
Portland, Ore, after she left him
there a month ago, George Herbel
this morning murdered her and killed
himself in a rooming house here.
The double crime was committed
with razor, single slash with the
sharp blade being sufficient in each
case. The heads Of both were almost
severed.
Jealousy is said TO have been trib-
utary cause to the crime, the main
one, the authorities believe, being that
Mrs. Herbel refused to return to Port
lond with her husband, declaring that
he was unkind to her and that abe
did not wish to be so distant from her
only known relative, sister, Mrs.
Ella Simmons, 1929 Stuart street,
Denver.

WITHOUT KITH OR KIN.

Not single relative or even a near
friend was present yesterday at the
funeral of the late George Freund.
Perhaps that was the reason that the
attendance of the lodge members was
so large. There is something pathetic
in the thought of old age going to
the grave without tear. While we
may not fear it, we all shrink from
dying alone-from starting on the
long journey with no one to watch
our going, to miss us when we are
absent, or to care when we are at
length consigned to Mother Earth.
In such case it is comforting to
remember that the lodges teach and
practice the doctrine of the brother
hood of man. There were many
things in the service yesterday To
bring that fact to mind.
The Woodmen of the World, the A.
+ & A. M.-the Blue lodge of Ma
sons--with an escort of Knights Tenn
plars, attended in body, filing the
pariors and overflowing into the
street. There was no service at the
undertaking rooms. Two by two the
members of the orders .iled Jast the
{ asket containing the remains OF their
IcaG brother, and after all had passed,

ed their impressive ceremony for the

PRISON IN MEXICO

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Mar. GA
report reached here today that Mrs.
John Connis Shepherd, whose parents
live here, is imprisoned in a mine near
Chihuahua, Mexico. No details have
been received.
The father of Mrs. Shepherd said
today that he had been hearing from
Mrs. Shepherd every few days since
the present rebellion started in Mex
leo, and that in her last letter she
stated that the people of Chihuahua
seemed safe, but that food was get
ting mighty scarce.
Mrs. Shepherd is niece Of John
W. Foster of Washington, d. c., for
merly resident OF Evansville, who
was secretary Of state under the late
President Benjamin Harrison. All cf-
forts to get word to Mrs. Shepherd to-
day from here failed.

MRS. MILLER MAY
PLEAD INSANITY

BOULDER, Mar. 28.-Attorrey N.
M. Rim of the United Mine Work
ers who, in connection with Attorney
Alex Smith, will probably defend Mrs.
Margaret Miller, the alleged perjurer,
against Judge Greeley Whitforj, stat
ed today the defense of Mrs. Miller
would be insanity. He said her attor-
neys would tomorrow ask the court to
appoint commission to determine the
status Of her mental CONDITION. The
attorneys will ask that Drs. Delehan.
ty, Pershing and Lazelle be named ON
this commission.
Attorney Rim has had Il confer
ence with his client, and I've is firm
in his belief that she ia mn compos
mentis. He says she has hallucina-
tions about the happenings Of fntrre
events. She claims, Attorney Rim
says, that her father was accustomed
TO have her close her eyes when s1e
was child and predict fut,r. events.
According to Mr.. Rim, hrs. Sliller
has no recollection Of tho an who
she claims gave her the m,noJ which
she is alleged to have given Judge

SEND MAIL BY FREIGHT.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 27.-Maga-
zines and other bulky periodicals will
after July 1 next, be transported by
the postoffice department in carloads
as fast freight.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is de-
veloping plans to utilize fast freight
in the transportation of magazines
whenever practicable and in instances
where a saving to the government in
transportation charges may be eff
fected.
"The plans have decided upon"
said Mr.. Hitchcock, "are not proposed
as solution of the controversy over
suggested increases of second class
mail rates on advertising sections of
magazines but probably will tend to
bring about the solution Of that ques-
ton the more easily"
Semi-weekly herald., 1911-03-30

1t is now definitely known that the
fire started on the eighth floor of
the building under cutting table in
scrap heap and was caused by a
cigarette.
A lack of adequate fire escape pro-
lection is responsible for the appalling
loss of life.
District Attorney Whitman and the
coroner today started an official in
vestigation to fix the responsibility of
the horror. No arrests have been
considered by the district attorney
and none will be made until facts dis
closed in the investigation give suffici-
ent evidence for taking that action.
The building department is called on
for report on the burned building
and every other department in any
way concerned will also be required
to make detailed report.
Crowds began to assemble at an
early hour today at the morgue to
view the unidentified bodies. At least
half of the corpses are unrecogniza-
BILE, only some small trinket or scrap
of clothing will help to show who
the unfortunate were. Some of these
bodies will probably never be claim
ed.
The managers of the Triangle Waist
company deny that the iron doors
leading to the elevators and stairs
were locked. The fact that there was
only one fire escape on the building
will come in for careful investiga-
ton to determine which Of the city
officials are to blame.
Two hundred thousand persons, the
police estimate, filed in serpentine
line to the pier from the opening of
the improvised morgue at 1 o'clock
yesterday until this morning. Nearly
one hundred cofiins lay in long row
upon the pier, awaiting the removal
and identification of the charred
bodies they contained. Forty human
forms, so burned, blackened and dis
torted, that they cannot be recog-
nized, lay covered with white canvas
in plain pine coffins apart from those
less mangled. Unless they are identi-
fed by trinkets and jewelry found on
their blackened limbs they will fill q
single grave of unknown dead. A
signet ring found clinging to II shred
Of flesh ON a little girls finger made
possible where all other
means would have failed.
A man who had stood in line six
hours and wandered aimlessly among
the bodies seeking his missing daugh-
ters, at last with groan, identified
Il heap Of charred clothing as their
garments. He collapsed and sought
TO kill himself but the police pre-
vented him and he continued the
search for his wife, who is also miss
ing.
