KILLS HIS FATHER.
Youthful Murderer Confesses Crime to
the Police.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Joseph Vacek, jr.. IT
years old, has confessed that he shot and
Killed his father and then sought to
biacken the memory of the dead man by
means of q 'blackhand' note pinned to
the clothing of the corpse. He IS said to
money and after the elder Vacek had
reprimanded him for not working.
The boy graduated from a manual
training high school in June and had told
his parents that he went to work irnme-
diateiy afterwards Instead, he had been
idle all summer
The police say the boy had been idle for
some months, but had represented that
he had been employed. When the elder
Vacek learned the situation the two are
said to have quarreIed.
Joseph Vacek, IS years old, wealthy
carpenter contractor, was found muir
dered in his home in the southwest sec
ton Of the city. He had been shot in the
mead. Near the body was a letter ad-
dressed to the victims wife, signed "B.
H; and reading as follows:
our husband is now where he wanted
you to be. He told us If we killed you he
would give US $500 and we failed. We
didn't give 1t to US, so we got even. He
deserved it and not you. I am perfect
gentleman and a friend of yours. Do not
mourn for this guy as he is a coward"
The sheet on which this was written
was crudely decorated with a number of
coHinS and daggers drawn in pencil
Mrs. Vacek told the police that she de-
parted from the house with her two chill
dren to visit a friend before her husband
left his bed She was questioned at
length by the police but gave them little
aid. She said that there had been no
stand why her husband should have been
murdered.

A N1anx Constitutional crisis.

The little Isle of Mar, famous for
tailIess cats and a producer of best
sellers, is in the throes Of a constitu-
tional crisis. 1t lies about midway be-
tween England and Ireland, and it has
22O square miles. 54,752 inhabitants,
and an autonomous government con-
sisting of the governor, the council and
the house of keys, which, together
make up the tynwald court.
It has proposed to give the governor
hereafter fve-year term and to have
the council consist of nine members,
two-thirds chosen by the people and
one-third appointed by the king, who
at present names them all. The right
of initiating expenditure is to remain
with the house of keys, an elective
body of "a members. The governor
is to have a final veto.
The changes must be passed by the
tynwaId court and approved by the
king, or rather by the home Office in
London. The island is much worked
up over them and opinions differ. 1t
is probable. however that there will
be some shaking up in the island gov
ernment-New York Sun.

favor, the railroad moved its depot a
short distance and opened a hotel of
its own. I had men on all the trains
coming into the Grand Canyon dis
tributing cards advertising my hotel
and frequently these men would be
elected from the trains sometimes 10
and II miles out in the desert, and [
would have to send out at night and
bring them in. Then we began to cut
rates, both for lodgings and the use of
horses and mules and finally the rail-
road issued an order forbidding my
teams to come to the depot. But I
kept plugging away and 1 finally got
the trail built to my satisfaction al
though ii is necessary to keep men en-
ployed on it all the time.
THE old toll road Law. of the terri
tory was not as perfect & piece of leg
islation as might be desired and I had
a bin passed by the legislature perfect
ing it, This bill was vetoed bv the
governor three days before the legisla-
ture was to adjourn and 1 was $50
miles from the capital when I received
news of his action. However, I got to
the capital in time to get my forces to-
gether and pass the bill by unanimous
vote in Roth houses over the governors
veto. Cnder the old law the board of
supervisors, after the expiration of ten
years, had the right to take over the
trail and purchase it fer the county,
but they also had the right to extend
the franchise five years longer In
view of the fact, however. that I had
received no compensation from outside
sources the supervisors extended my
right ten years but this was cut down
five years by the court. Ny time was
about up when the new bill became a
law and then the supervisors leased
the trail to me.
But the enmity of the railroads did
not stop there. I applied for patents
for some mining claims that I had in
the Canyon and the railroad company
came in as a party without interest, to
get even with me I suppose, and filed
adverse claims to all my mining claims
for which I had applied for patents.
We fought the matter out in the local
land Office, before the Commissioners
of the General Land Office, and 1t is
now pending in the office of the Sec
retary of the Interior
The Grand Canyon, which was dis
covered in 1850, has been termed by
many scientists the scenic wonder of
the world and those who decline to
yield to it the palm for scenic premier
ship admit that it ranks high among
the bewildering handicrafts of nature.

Chicago, Aug. 5--WHEAT-AttempS on
the part Of many small traders to sell
through commission houses brought
about a withdrawal of support today in
