ers to levy greater tax than at pres
ent without vote of the people, was
postponed indefinitely.

TROTT IS KILLED
BY JOPLIN WOMAN
Remains Will Be Brought Here
Makes Ante-Mortem Statement
Exonerating His Slayer.

Late last night news of the fatal
shooting of Hardin Trott, of this city,
by woman at Joplin, was received
here, and Frank Burkhalter, brother
in-law and w. L. Trott, an uncle of
young Trott, left last night for Joplin.
They did not reach Joplin, however,
until after the young man had died.
The remains will be brought here this
evening and the funeral will occur to-
morrow, but the definite arrangements
have not yet been announced.
The deceased was twenty-five years
old and was a member of one of Vim
itas oldest and most respected families
He was born and reared in Vinita. He
is survived by four sisters, Mrs. F. L.
Burkhalter, of this city, Miss Mae

las, Tex, and Mrs. Anna Hinman of
Los Animas, Col.
The Joplin Globe has the following
account of the killing:
Angered by his persistent attempts
to enter the house she occupied at No.
207 Pennsylvania avenue, Dolly Mason,
"a years old, shot and fatally wound
ed H. H. Trott, 27 years old, of Vinita,
Okla, shortly before midnight.
Before his death, at 2:15 a. M, Trott
made a statement in which he declar-
ed the woman shot him as ne stood
outside window. He appeared to be
greatly worried by fear of the fate
that might befall the woman and re-
peatedly declared it was "all his
fault"
Trott had been frequent visitor to
Joplin for the last two years, and had
known the woman for that length of
time. He is said to be a member of a
prominent eastern Oklahoma family.
He had been in Joplin for about two
weeks on this latest visit when he was
shot.
The two had quarreled earlier in the
evening, and, from stories told by 9th
ers who were in the house before the
shooting, the woman told him to leave
and not to come back during the night.
He persisted in his efforts to gain ad-
mittance.
After he had been refused admit
tance at the door the third or fourth
time he passed the window and stood
for moment in the light that stream
ed from inside. The woman, standing
within the room, fired one shot from
a 44-caliber revolver through the glass.
The bullet struck Trott in the abdo-
men, passing through the stomach. He
fell, but did not lose consciousness for
nearly an hour. After she had fired
the shot the woman called the police,
telling them she had killed a man,
then went outside and tainted, falling
across Trott's body.
DR.. Gregg was called but pronounc-
ed the wounded man beyond medical
aid Before he lost consciousness,
however, an ante-mortem statement
was obtained by Prosecuting Attorney
Andrews. The body was later remov-
ed to the morgue of the Frank-Seivers
Undertaking company.

The activities OF several trusts with

to bring themselves within the Sher-
man antitrust law has CAUSED change
in the plans of Attorney General Wick
ersham.
The attorney general had planned to
return to the Department OF Justice
here on Monday morning October
It was learned today however, that Mr..
Wickersham has suddenly changed
his plans and will not come
to Washington for another week.
While no one at the Department OF
Justice will offer an explanation for
this change OF plans the general
assumption is that the Attorney Cen
erals conferences with the various
trusts officials in New York will not
be concluded as early as he expected
and that he will remain there until
