SHOOTING WINDOWS
IN HOLLAND TOWN
Ben Wright Excltes Neishborhood by
carelessIy Using His
Shotgun.

Holland Town was the scene of
considerable excitement early this af-
ternoon when Ben Wright, painter.
threw scare into members of his
own household and those of the neigh
borhood by training shotgun at sew
eral of the windows of his home and
blazing through them. Panes of win
dow glass were shattered and rained
In small pieces to the floor, while
spreading shot pelted down on the
roof tops of houses nearby.
Wright lives at S12 South Four
teenth street. This Afternoon he was in
an ugly mood, having become peeyed
at one thing and another. His anger
was increased by the liquor which he
had been drinking during the day, and
In an intense heat he picked up his
shot gun, loaded 1t with shells and
pumped away. Wrlght's aged mother
feared he was trying to kill her and
quickly spread the alarm.
The police received notification OF
the shooting at L.: 80 o'clock, and Chief
Schevers sent Deputy Pearson and
Officer Wilson to investigate AS the
officers neared the Wright home, Ben
was leaving, and got several blocks
away before he was apprehended. He
climbed into the patrol wagon reluct-
antly, but made no offer of resistance
AS an excuse for his actions he said
he was angry and had to do some
thing to work that anger off.

WASHINGTON, March 5.--In caus-
tic criticism Senator Kenyon asserted
to the senate that Senator Stephenson,
of Wisconsin, should be expelled from
the senate.
The election was the result OF an
organized riot of corruption, a de-
hatchery of the electorate he de-
clared. Every man in this body
knows that Senator Stephenson's cleo
ton was brought about by the reck-
less, extravagant and wrongful use of

LAWS REGARDING
VOTERS EXPLAINED
In Any Election Held Here Since
1908 Is Entitled to Vote.

Following is an extinct from the
Code Of Iowa, Section 1884: "A new
registry of voters shall be taken in
each year of presidential election.
For all other state or municipal cleo
ttons, general or special, the registers
shall prepare new registry book
in each year by copying from the poll
book OF the proceeding general cleo
ton all the names found therein. add
ing thereto those of all persons reg
istered and voting at any subsequent
election. which new registry book
shall show all the facts Of qualifica-
ton OF each voter as they appear on
the last proceeding registry book,
which, when thus made UP shall be
used at each election until new
registry book is prepared as shall be
required by law. Every person thus
registered shall be considered as en-
titled to vote at any election at which
said registry book may be used unless
his name shall be dropped by the cor
rection of registration, as authorized
by law
Taken as whole, this section is
interpreted to mean that any man who
has voted at any election held in this
city since 1908 is entitled to vote at
the coming city election. but 1t would
be well for everybody to go to the
registration offices and SEQ that their
name is on the list. Sometimes a

Daily Stock Letter.

ing Post Col
NEW YORK, March 5.-This was a
singularly interesting day on the
stock exchanges. In the face OF
total absence of any tangible develop
ment Of favorable sort, in sequence
to all the discouraging news of the
past few days, and on top of rise of
! to 8 points since the middle of last
week, prices today moved forward
again with substantial broadening of
activity. Steel common and Union
Pacific advanced two points each;
other stock followed, with gains run
ming to point. Wall street ascribed
the movement. and probably rightly,
to the aggressive maneuvers of a
group of professional operators who
had dislodged substantial bear ac-
count in an oversold market. The
report was spread about. on the Lon
don stock exchange, that this was bas-
ed on confident expectation of set
tlement of the industrial deadlock
within the next few days Whether
this report was cause or consequence
OF the advance in the London mar
ket is an open question; but the Incl
dent made the obstinate cheerfulness
OF the stock exchange in spite of news
which might reasonably have caused
a decline in prices, an international
phenomenon. The sequel can hardly
fail to be interesting and instructive.
Our own stock market closed with an
irregular reaction from the highest
prices.

The colonel also answered the criti-
cism levelled at him for accepting
$500 for addressing the Union League
club at Chicago, by pointing out that
Lincoln had received 5000 for making
a speech before a similar organiza-
ton.
Roosevelt said that this letter abso-

his position had been right along.
One of the first callers on Colonel
Roosevelt when he arrived at the Out
look offices today was W. Bourke
Cochran, once Tammany hall CON
gresham. He was closeted with the
colonel for some time but he did not
state whether he is now an advocate
of Roosevelt's nomination.
Roosevelt's second visitor was Will

said he had told the colonel that if
he was not nominated at Chicago,
President Taft would not be. White
