H. G. COLL IS RELEASED
Serves Some Time in Prison as Bige-
low. His Chief.

Leavenworth, Kan, JAN 29.-Henry
G. Coll, former assistant cashier of the
First National bank of Milwaukee.
Wis. left the federal penitentiary here
on parole.
Coll spent behind prison. walls the
same time that Frank G. Bigelow.
president of the bank, served IN the
federal penitentiary- six years
of a ten years sentence.
Coll was assistant cashier of the
bank at the time BigeIow was accused
of being a defaulter, and it was charg-
ed that the two had co-operated in
hiding the shortage in the bank funds.
Bigelow was paroled several months
ago.
L have served to a day the same
time that Bigelow did" said Coll. You
may draw your own conclusion. I have
nothing further to say about that. OF
course intend going into business
again
He refused to say what kind of busi-
ness he would enter. although it is pre-
scribed in bis parole. Prison authori-
ties will not say anything.
Coll entered the penitentiary May 13,
1905 He was gatekeeper at the west
sallyport until several months ago,
when he was transferred to he tailor
shop. He is one of the few members of
the bankers colony who did not hold
a clerical position.

DUEL OVER A WOMAN
Frisco CIubman Killed by Chauffeur,
Formerly in His Employ.

San Francisco, jan 29.-J. J. Moore,
wealthy club man and coal dealer of
San Francisco. who was shot in a re-
volver duel with Samuel L. Timothy,
a chauffeur, near the residence of Mrs
Moore, in Hillsboro, a suburb, died
last night.
The single bullet fired by Timothy,
who was an employee of wealthy
neighbor of Mrs. Moore, and whom
the dying man accused of having been
riding with Mrs. Moore, struck Moore
in the abdomen and lodged in his
back. An operation was performed
a the hospital to which he was re-
moved shortly after the shooting, but
the probe failed to reveal the fatal
bit of lead.
Moore was seized with a sinking
spell as night came on and died sud
denly. There are no known with esses
of the duel.
In an interview Mrs Moore denied
that she had been out riding with
Timothy. Il was not out riding with
Timothy Saturday night or any other
night and when the time comes I can
prove it, she said. It was in my
house all evening. My husband was
insanely Jealous of me and last nights
happenings were only part OF a series
of violent acts on his part. After our
divorce was denied in Redwood City,
he threatened to kill all of my wit
nesseS at the trial Timothy was one
of those witnesses.
sI know little of the man Timothy.
He worked for us year or so ago, but
I had no idea that he had entertained
any affection for me. That 1 would
go out with MIN when I knew my hus-
band had spies on my trail all the time
is absurd.
I have been logged for a year and
a half In all that time my husband
could not get any witnesses against me
upon which to win his case in court
I am innocent in this matter"
Soon after the shooting Moore made
a statement to City Attorney Kirkbride
which. as made public, follows:
I have been living at the Pacific
Union club in san Francisco since my
separation from my wife, but have made
several trips here to watch her. Last
night living in wait near the house 7
feur. I stopped the ear, and ordered
her to get out. She refused and I op-
ened fire"
Timothy. in Jail at Redwood City.
sticks to his statement that his engine
failed him while he was driving past
the Moore house on the country road
and that a man whom he believed to
be a highwayman opened fire on him.
Timothy was employed by Moore for
about a month a year ago He is now
employed by c. Breeder, a wealthy
neighbor of Mrs Moore well known as
a polo player. In Timothy 5 room above
the Breeder garage were found two
pictures clipped from newspa pers. of
Mrs. Moore. and he carried her picture
in his watch.
TO adj to the tangled skein of the
plot, it is said that of late Moore and
his wife had been seen in San Fran
cisco cafes, dining in apparent amity.
Timothy in a statement said:
7 did not want to kill him. I only
shot IN self-defense as he advanced
and continued TO fire al me-.

night. Pillow and his wife have had
considerable trouble during the last
few months and she has threatened to
petition for divorce. He called on her
Sunday afternoon and they had quar-

night, crawled through the window into
her room. After few words he pulled
out his revolver and shot her
Pillow had begged his wife to return
to live with him on a number of differ
ent occasions and they have lived to-
gether at intervals during the last two
or three months. Pillow called at the
home of Mrs. Caldwell to visit his wife
about 1 o'clock Sunday and appeared
to have been drinking. He left and re-
turned late at night On this occasion
he demanded that she permit him to
take a quantity OF furniture when pc
1onged to them She demonstrated
with him and told him to return today
and then she would allow him to take
the furniture. With that he said that
he would have a shooting match He
pulled his gun out of his pocket and in
doing. so. the gun was discharged. The
bullet took effect in his left heel. He
raised the gun and fred at his wife,
the bullet taking effect just above the
heart 1t killed her almost instantly.

Sergeant Lon Sauls with Police Off

Summers, went to the house and placed
Pillow under arrest He was taken to
the police station and is booked on the
charge of murder. A surgical examina-
ton revealed the bullet in the flesh of
his heel This was removed and is not
considered dangerous.
Pillow and his wife had been married
about two years. Mrs. Pillow has been
making her home with his sister. Mrs.
Caldwell, since the domestic troubles
resulted in a separation. She was sit
ting on the side of the bed when the
trouble occurred. While she has been
living with her sister, she spends most
of her time during the Cay at work or
at other places but was at the home of
her sisters at nights.

Does Work for Kansas Day Club.
The Kansas Day club celebrators
placed their o. K on Payne's work as
secretary last year. This year he is
stalking his reputation on a chicken
dinner and six or seven great orators
in their obscurity. The secretary does
all the work for a banquet and he
serves the club like he would heaven,
which is to say, without pay. Payne
is as regular in politics as he is in
work He stands on a concrete
foundation for Taft. However, he has
friends in both factions and both par
ties. He works too hard, and talks too
little and smiles too much to brew
bitterness and bad feeling with his
politics.
1t is just as well to remember, while
eating at the banquet tonight and
listening to the flow of oratory and
watching the electric lights and the
hurrying walters and the decorations
that the man behind the chicken, and
the column that supports the speak
ers. and trains the walters. is the
quiet unassuming hardworking secre-
tarv of the club-Walter Levi Payne

and eight years in Shawnee and work
ed at three Jobs since he quit a coun-
try school to earn his own living.

STUBS SETTLES IT?
But Colonel Roosevelt Fails to An
swer Stubbs' Demand.

New York. Jan. 29.-Theodore
Roosevelt is not a candidate for the
presidency, but, nevertheless. he will
be nominated and elected. according
to a statement by Walter r. Stubs,
governor of Kansas, who had luncheon
with the former president Saturday at
Oyster Bay. Governor Stubs is the
second governor to say that he is go
ing back home to work for Roose-
welt.
There is no doubt whatever that
Col Theodore Roosevelt will be nomi-
mated by the Republican convention in
of the United States Governor Stubs
says Il say this, knowing from his
personal statements to me, repeated
during a personal conversation, that
he is not a candidate and will not be
a candidate for the nomination. 1 am
fully convinced he means exactly what
he says and he honestly and sincerely
feels that he personally has nothing
to gain by another term as president.
but Colonel Roosevelt never has
said to me nor to any other man to
my knowledge, that he would refuse
the nomination if it came to him as
the result of a genuine demand on the
part of the American people.
Sees a Demand for Him.
'sThere is such a demand at this
time. All the information I have been
able to gather from all parts of the
country indicates that that demand
will persist and grow and force the
convention to offer him the nomina-
ton. His patriotic spirit, his courage
and his keen sense of the duties and
obligations of citizen will forbid him
to set his back against a task which
the people demand he perform.
tsThere is a vast difference between
man saying he is not a candidate
for and does not want office, and
statement that he would refuse to ac-
cept that office when the public well
fare was at stake and there was
widespread general demand for him to
serve his country. Colonel Roosevelt
was seven years president of the
United States. In that time reforms
of vital Importance to the people were
inaugurated. There was general pros
perity throughout the country. The
people realize what they owe to him,
know that he is for their interests as
a whole and believe in him
