ENTERS SUIT FOR $4,000
ACTION RECALLS DeplORABLE DElEWARE
TRAGEDY
ESTATE OF BETHEA DEFENDANT
Widow of Pullman Conductor Kill
&C by John Henry Bethea Last
Spring Brings Action for $685.
10000.

Papers have been filed in the
United States Court at Charleston
against the estate of John Henry
Bethea by the widow OF the Pull
man conductor killed by Bethea in
a pistol duel at Deleware, Nd, last
slr.ng. The plaintiff asks dam
ages to the amount of $4,000
The filing Of the complaint is a
sequel to one of the most startling
tragedies in the history of the ooun-
tiy. IL will be recalled that while
Jno. Henry Bethea was q passen-
ger OH a Baltimore & Ohio train
last spring he became involved in
difficulty with Pullman porter.
Mr. Bethoa was in n chair car en-
route to New York when the negro
demanded that he throw away a
cigar he was smoking. Other words
Followed and the negro retreated to
~@1N A1S-NS SShA 1AhtoSltN Ihe NOTuS
OF the negro Bethea arose and fol-
lowed. Without further words he
pulled his pistol and shot the ne
gro to death. The passengers fled
In panic and the conductor rushed
up to Bethea. Believing that he
was taking the part of the negro
Bethea turned his pistol upon tho
conductor and shot him dead in his
tracks. When the train arrived at
Delaware a squadron of police had
gathered at the station to arrest
bethea. Bethea refused to surren-
der and after exchanging several
hundred shots. holding at bay half
the police force of the city and ty-
ing up traffic on the Baltimore G.
Ohio road for more tan an hour
Bethea fell mortui!S' Wounded.
The widow oil the dead Pullmon
conductor brings suit against Be-
thea's estate for $4,000 damages.
Being nonresident the has the
right to bring the action in the
United States Courts aid the case
will be heard at Charleston.
Although n thrifty md indus
tr!ous man Mr.. Bethel did not
leave much of an estate Al one
time he was in comfortable circum-
stances, but i'll health orced him
to- spend the larger pordon Of his
aocumulations.
The impression prevailed in the
North at the time of tn, shooting
that MIR. Bethea was very wealthy
man and following the tragedy
rdTerous demands were made on
Mi. Bethea's people foI money
by northern people who we're pas
scneers on the train Some of the
demands were of simple and rid
iculous nature. One woman claim
ed that her daughter who was a
passenger on the train CAM on to
h.:r home in New York and was so !
badly frightened that she had to
90 to a hospital for treatment. !
Other demands OF similar nature
we're made upon various III mbers
of the family.
Tie plaintiff is represented by
Charleston attorneys. The offend

WALDRON Did
TRICK BEFORE
Escaped Juror Has Reputation
For Jury Jumping

Kansas City, Dec. 13.-That the wife
of Harry Waldron, who escaped early
Monday morning from the jury hear
ing the evidence in the trial OF DR.. b.
Clark Hyde, accused of the murder
of Col. Thomas II. Swope, has had
word from the fugitive is the belief to-
day of the deputies In the county
prosecutors Office who have in vain
been trying to locate Waldron. A
strange man visited the Waldron home
last night and held a whispered con-
versation with Mrs. Waldron. He
aroused suspicious in the minds of the
officers and dispelled the belief that
Waldron is mentally deranged and
wandering or has killed himself.
The little daughter of Waldron to-
day. innocently talking to a deputy
marshal, said her father served on
two turtles at Rosge1l, N. NJ. and that
he tried to get away but could not.
"Why?" she was asked.
Because they caught him." the little
girl replied.
A telegram from Roswell where
Waldron formerly lived says a man
named Harry Waldron escaped from
serving on a jury there.
Eleven jurymen detected reported for
roll call today. Judge Porterfield
says he will hold week longer in hope
Of finding waldron.

OF
new PROJECTS
Davidson Wants Fuller River
and Harbor Improvements

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1S.-Rep.
James II. Davidson of Wisconsin, sec
ond ranking republican on the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors, while
disposed to follow the reports and rec
concentrations of the United States
army engineers regarding river and
harbor improvements, thinks some
provision should be made from year
to year in the annual appropriation
bill for new projects. The report OF
Gen. w. III. Bixby, chief of engineers.
this year is confirmed largely, If not
wholly, to recommendations for main
tenance and completion of existing
projects. Mr.. Davidson is one OF the
strongest men on the committee, ac-
cording to his colleagues. and has de-
voted much time to a careful study
Of river and haTbor matters lie de-
fined his position while discussing the
project for the. permanent improve
ment Of the Missouri river from Kan
sas City to it's mouth. Incidentally,
ii should be remarked that with the
formal adoption of the project for a
permanent channel of six feet on this
stretch Of the river. friends OF the
upper Missouri are encouraged to be-
lieve their claims will soon be recog-
nized and more liberal appropriations
provided for Improvement above KAN
sas City.
my position is" said Mr.. Davidson,
that we must make some provision
for new projects in the annual bin, if
that is to be the policy of congress
from now on, or no new projects ever
will be taken up. There are pending
several important projects, some OF
which have been knocking at the doors
Of congress for years. Some of them
have much merit and are deserving
of careful and serious consideration,
even now.
"Of course, we must continue to de-
pend largely on the judgment of the
army engineers, because they are TECH

TAFT BACK

I /
Into Alleged Dynamite Con-
spiracy through U. 5.
H"aA a244 pxi.. ssFlF
LawIer, Personal Friend Of
Taft, Showed Evidence
49, r.s

Los Angeles, Dec. 1S.-President
Taft personally initiated the govern
ment's present investigation, both here
and at indianapolis, into the dynamit-
ing conspiracy in which the McNa-
mara brothers figured. The president
when he visited Los Angeles, Oct. 16,
was appraised by Oscar Lawler, then
assistant Of District Attorney Fred
ericxs, of the strong case built up by
the latter against the McNamaras
The presidents action in the matter
after a conference with Lawler. was
taken forty-eight hours after he left
here. The Mcnamara trial was then
but FIVE days old, but the president
was convinced, it is said, by the array
of facts gathered by the state and was
told the McNamaras were not the
only guilty parties.
1t was through Lawler, a friend Of
the president, that the was instituted
after the local federal authorities de-
clined to take any steps in the mat
ter, ending orders from washington,
and District Attorney Fredericks was
unable to go to Washington to pre-
sents the facts.
Lawler today refused to discuss his
conversation with the president or talk
about the present phases Of the gov
eminent investigation.
The possibility of political injury to
the president was taken into consider
alton. With union labor lined up on
the side of the McNamaras at the
time, which was long before the con-
fession OF guilt were dreamed of. it
was indicated to the president an un-
favorable political effect might result
later with the labor e. nent Of the
country If he took definite stand in
the Mcnamara case. The president
told L,awler to proceed regardless Of
that.
Tafts real part in the matter has
never been known. According to a
man who knows the details OF II the
president went ahea regardless of
personal considerations and would
have proceeded much earlier. il he
could have learned the facts.
