A. P. C0RDfR KILLED BY A lHICHWAYMAN Former Pine Bluffian Met Tragic Death Near His
 Home in St. Louis
SUSPECT ARRESTED
Woman in The CaSe-Accused Man Denies Charge hut Admits Pre-.
 yiOuS Trouble.

A. P. Corder, a former Pine Bluff ian, met tragic death in St. Louis last Saturday night, when, it is thought he was assaulted and robbed by a highwayman. Mir. Corder was we'll and favorably known in this city, where he lived for many years He was formerly in the Cotton Belt ser vice, running between Fair Oaks and St. Louis. A St. Louis dispatch gives the following account of his death:
 That the murder of Anderson P. Corder, A years old, a railroad con- ductor, near Taylor and Chouteau avenues, Saturday night, was the re- suit of an attempted hold-up, is the theory on which police and detectives are now working i'll an effort to To- cate the slayer. Corder was shot in the temple by occupants of a stolen buggy in the vicinity of his home, 4468 Arco avenue, at the mouth of dark alley. He died without regain Ing CONSCIOUSNESS at the City HOSpl- tai at II o'clock yesterday morning.
 Rubin Eugene Burroughs, 31 years old, of 4249 Chouteau avenue, who was arrested at 1 o'clock yesterday morning is still detained at Central Police Station, but may be released to-day
 "Detective Sergeant James F. Smyth last night said the shooting bears every evidence of an ast8m oted hold-up, in which the would-be rob- bers were foiled by the victim Corder carried money and other valuables and the police believe he showed fight when ordered to hold up his hands or to hand over his money.
 That the murderer stole buggy in one part of the city, and then sud- denly attempted hold-up in another section, points clearly to the work of a highway robber,' Smyth said last night. investigation shows only three shots were fired-one by the murderer and two by policemen to at- tract other officers. The gunman was evidently close upon his victim when the shot was fired. The shooting is pretty we'll covered up, and we have almost no clews on which to work. I do not believe Burroughs had any thing to do with it. It does not look like a premeditated murder"
 Burroughs Denies Charge.
 Burroughs last night said he sepa- rated from Mrs. Corder six years ago. He says she filed suit for divorce and he did not contest it. He remarried year ago and says since that time his first wife and Corder have been completely out of his mind. Bur roughs is son of Rev. Robert Bur roughs of Marlin, Tex. Tn explaining the threats which the daughter of Corder said her father had accused him of making, Burroughs said:
 "The only thing like a threat I ever made against Corder was once when I was still living with my first wife. He approached me, saying she thought more of him than she did of me, and asking me what I was going to do about it. I told him I would not discuss the matter then, and would settle that later when we were on an even footing. I have met Cor der several times on the street but al- ways passed him up. To kill him was

 Capitol.

Washington, June 11-Representa- tive Robert c. Wickliffe of Louisiana Was run down on the tracks of the Southern Railway in Potomac park today and instantly killed He had left the capital yesterday to be away today on fishing trip. How he hap- pened to stray on to the railroad tracks has not been cleared up. The eng neer of the train said he saw the congressman too fate to avoid the accident.
 The news of the tragic death the prominent Southern rep. esenta- tive traveled fast, but did not reach Mrs. Wickliff before she had started for the capital as was her daily GUS tom to watch the proceedings in the House. The body was about to ad journ out of respect of the memory of MT. Wiekliffe, when several mem- bers happened to catch a glimpse of his Wife in the gallery. There was hurr ed conference. Representatives Estopinol of Louisiana and Cullop of Indiana made their way quickly to where Mrs. Wickliffe was sitting and invited her downstairs to Speaker ClaTks office"
 There, as gently as they could, they broke the news to her. Mrs. Wick life faiilted Later she cried to be taken home Mrs. Champ Clark. close friend was quickly summoned.
 Immediately after she was seen to leave the gallery the House adjourned at 11:50 a. m., until II a. m. tomor- row, memorial services will be held in the session. Ms. Wickliffe was cne of the promoters of the recent Dolly Madison" breakfast, in this city, and had been prominently active among the Democratic women of the capital. Before her marriage ~she was Mss Lydia Cooke of Louisiana.
 MT. Wickliffe was alone when kill ed. He was paired at the House of Representative yestedday with Repre- sentative Pupie of Louisiana for to- day, and jocularly exclaimed to the pair clerk that he was going on a fishing trip.''
 The accident was on the railroad embankment al the north end of the railroad bridge over the Potomac rver just at the entrance to the Po- tomac park, which bolders the river in the southwest section of this civ.

,osevelt Sentiment Grow Ene stronger With suspi- aim of Double Cross''
|poss, BARNES THERE
b.,.rnor Hadley, of Missouri, Has p..v, fin Committee and Will Fight
 It Out.

o,,oooo June 11-With droves of
 asgusted delegates talking of q
 nn,onise nominee to end the
 ,,,e racking Taft Roosevelt squab-
 <. ne ,antins on 10th sides fought
 ,.raor than ever today for their re-
 spsctive candidates.
 The days dcings in the order of t,sir ro!l.;cal effect were these: Mo.eyelt got one delegate from rentncsy seated by the National
 committee and lest seventeen con-
 ,sstad. The score since the begin ming of the hearing is Taft, 1o1, ana
 Roosevelt, 1.
 The fourteen Roosevelt delegates
 op the National Committee who .trayed from the reservation Monday
 ,nl voted against th5 Colonel's dele sn,es returned ;o the fold today. 5 There was no mere treacherous talk among them of deciding cases on their merits. In all cases but one tbey voted for the Roosevelt contest ant, practically as unit.
 The horrible suspicion that many oi the Taft men seated by the steam roller are going to vote for Roosevelt which has troubled the Taft men for sa week became a conviction today.
 IA a, matter of fact about a quarter of the Taft delegates will vote for the Colonel unless something is done about fl shortly.
 Bill Barnes, boss of New York, who everybody expected to come in with sandbag in his hand, arrived with the declar ation of principle and a promise to keep out of the National Committee and cut of the fight for the nominee.
 The arrival of Barnes revived the talk of Root for Chairman, and of Jim Sherman for vice president. Barnes told the newspaper men that he did not see any reason why the New York delegation should not sup port both of these patriots.
 After receiving Barnes the Taft captain-generals continued their worry about the rumors that they are being "double-crossed" in the matter of delegates. Sleuths sent out for the sentiment of some of the men who have been put into the by the National Committee return with the news that a lot Of these men had gone over to the Col onel. When this word was brought to Penrose he immediately got the whole Taft crowd busy, finding oet lust which men are disaffected. All day the Taft men were busy with every delegate, who have been or Will De in the contest, but there were no results that satisfied any.
 What .he Taft hosses are afraid ot IS that too many delegates with -Tart brands have accepted the preferred of this club and have be- come politically uncertain as a re- suit. 4
 Coincident with the arrival of Bill Barnes was that of Governor Hadley

TAX COLLECTORS
NOW AID SPUGS
City in Many Cases UncOn-
sciousIy Prevents Useless
3 Giving of Presents.

II the spug agitators would drop
in the tax receiving office at the City
Hall sometime before tomorrow, they
woulo learn a new and effective
wrinkle that bring many new con-
verts to their cause.
The simple way to prevent useless
giving In any city is to draw the dead
line for. payment of taxes without in
terest on December 90 and charge u
per cent. after that date. To save the
interest thousands kept the fourteen
receiving clerks busy in the tax office
today. One taxpayer remarked:
We'll, here goes what ! was going
to spend for Christmas presents, You
see. l am a spug and therefore | can
pay my taxes without a bit of regret
that ] did not use the money in pur-
chasing the things suitable for the
''joyousness season that / jotted
down all year on my diary. All, but
there is where 1 lose. Every year I
received a diary from a good old soul
in return for one of those snow-cov-
cred Xmas cards. My resolution
means the buying of diary this
year"
Whether il was caused by spug
sentiment or something else. an OBJ
serving clerk said he had not seen
a happy smile on a face that APP
peared al any OF the windows. just as
if anyone but true city father ever
smiled when be pays his taxes.
The corporation Santa Claus filled
the city stockings to the extent of
$4,000 the first thing this morning,
and as an indication of the amount
of the coin of the realm that has
gone into the city strong box to help
the spug principles, a quotation of
the past three days receipts will suf-
fee: Tuesday. 5000. .SSs.4s; Wednesday,
$s4, ,223S5. and yesterday, $726s1.27.
These figures when compared for the
same dates last year show that Tax
I;eceiver Richard j. Franz is contin-
uing his record breaking career in
gathering in the shekels. for the total
sum is s175. 900 in excess for the same

ALLEGED FORGER
TO Be DEPORTED
Jacob Hack Taken to Hoboken
Today and Placed on
Steamer.

Acting under instructions from
Secretary of State p. C. Knox, United
States Commissioner Stockton today
released Jacob Hack for deportation
to Germany.
Hack was arraigned in this city be-
fore Commissioner Stockton on De-
cember 3 on charges of forgery al
legged to have been committed in
Hanau. Germany. He was held in the
Essex county jail pending further
advice from the German Emperor.
Today Commissioner Stockton re-
ceived instructions from Secretary
Knox to prove delivery of Hack to
Captain Pesch, of the North German
Lloyd liner Friedrich der Crosse, in
dock at Hoboken. In custody of
Deputy Marshal Louis G. Beekman,
Hack was taken aboard, the vessel
and placed in a cell.
En- route to Jersey City Hack
stopped at his former boarding house
in Jersey City and found that the
model of his cigar-making machine
had been stolen from the room he
formerly occupied.
Hack said that he had forged the
checks to procure money to patent his
machine in this country. He was ar
rested while trying to interest a Ger
man-American banker in his inven-
tion.
Erich Hosenfelder, acting German
consul in New York, was notified and
will endeavor to trace the lost model.
The machine was said to be a big
improvement on the present cigar
making machines and was valued at
$5,0 900 by Hack.
In bidding good-by to American
soil, Hack insisted on taking the ad-
dresses of Commissioner Stockton
and Marshal Beekman and promised
to send a token of his appreciation
of the many courtesies he received
while prisoner in this city
He was anxious to return to his
home country and frightened at the
prospect of spending Christmas with
in reach of Germany. Hack has a
number of influential friends in Ger
many who he says will interoede for
him during his trial.
After it is all over, however, he
says he intends to come back to
America and become a law-abiding
American citizen.
America is good enough for me"
were his parting words to Marshal
Beekman.
