POLICEMAN
IS MURDERED
BY PERvERT

San Francisco, July27.-Absolutely
at sea in their hunt for the man or men
who shot to death Policeman Charles
H. Bates on street in the heart of
the city here last midnight, the police
today strained every nerve to capture
two men who have vanished and one
of whom probable pervert, Is be-
lieved to have committed the crime.
One Of these men, tall man, dres-
sed in gray, is generally declared by
eye witnesses, to have fired the fatel
shot. The other, foreigner who was
in his shirt sleeves, was seen to run
from the spot as Bates fell and to
take a street car from the scene of the
tragedy.
Bates, who had been on special duty
was not in uniform at the time he was,
killed. According to the best evidence
presented so far, Bates is believed to
have accosted the tall man in gray,
the suspect pervert. He was seen talk
ing with the stranger who a moment
before the shot was fired, reeled back
as though from blow from the police
mans fist. Then the gun flashed,
Bates fell, and his murderer fled down
an alley and vanished into the night.
The belief of many of the detect
ives on the case that a pervert slew
Bates is based largely on the simil-
arity OF his murder to the Staying of
Patrolman Grant in September, 1891
by Maurice Strelinger who was better
known as Maurice Curtis and who
gained notoriety on the vaudeville
stage as "Sam'l Of Posen.'
Curtis amassed a fortune on the
stage but was generally known as
pevert. On the night of Grants death
he accosted the policeman who threat
ened his arrest Curtis then and there
shot Grant to death. 1t is believed
that the same circumstances may have
caused the Bates murder, as until re-
Gently the dead policeman had been
detailed to the suppression of the
activities of such persons here

Charleston, w. Va, July 27.-Warm
welcome to state militiamen, whom
they believe will shield them from
alleged brutallties of private detec-
tiyes guarding the mines along the
Paint Creek section, was accorded by
hundreds of strikers at Paint Creek
this afternoon when a battalion Of
national guard, under command of
Major James Pratt, arrived from
Charleston. The miners cheered and
hugged each other from joy, explain
ing to Major Pratt that =" the inhu-
man brutalities practiced on their wo-
men and children would now stop"
The demonstration was participated
in by woodsmen and miners. But few
of the strikers in yesterdays fighting
engaged in the welcome to the troops,
most of them having scattered fear

GREAT CROWD LAST NIGHT
Streets Lined With Autos and the Big
Park Filled With Salem People Out
to See the First Display Of the Beau
tlfuI They Realize and Ap
preciate Today the Magnlficence Of
the Generous Donors Gift.

Could one have looked down from a
balloon on Salem Friday evening, in
the cleaning, the city would have pre-
sented an odd sight, for from all di-
rections, apparently every one of the
city's 10000 citizens would have been
seen on the sidewalks or streets, all
facing towards Wilson Park. Prac-
tically every auto in the city carried
It's full quota in that direction, and
every street car was loaded with ex-
pectant people bound for Wilson Park,
to see the first working, or playing,
of the magnificent Waite fountain. BY
$3.50, the time advertised for the be-
ginning Of the display, a crowd varl-
ously estimated at from 5000 to 10000
was gathered for the great event, and
1t surely was that. Promptly on time,
and with no speech making or flum-
meries, suddenly single stream of
water shot up from the fountain, look
ing like a great Jet of hoar frost, in the
reflected lights. Then for half an
hour, there was a fairyland vision,
that no mere words can describe. The
eye alone may convey to the brain the
beauties of color and form, and the
horse editor makes no attempt to per-
form the impossible, by even trying to
describe it. A hundred varied forms,
each more beautiful than the other
blending OF colors that reflected from
the waters gave the irridescence OF the
rainbow and the symmetry and color
ing Of the kaleidoscope It must be
seen, and seen more than once, to be
thoroughly appreciated, and as 1t is to
be and abide with us, thanks to its
generous donor, Salemites will have
plenty Of time to see and admire, and
tell others about it-lf they can.
Many passing away have devoted
part of their wealth to benefitting
communities in which they lived, and
are justly held In high esteem by the

Waite has left to Salem citizens and

Some time during the first few months
of the public ministry of Jesus, John
the Baptist was put in the prison at
MAchaerus because he had been bold
enough to denounce King Herod's sin of
taking his brothers wife, Herodias. For
many months John had languished in
this dungeon which was built at the
side of the precipice a few miles north
of the Dead sea. 1t had been very hard
for him to bear, for all his life he had
been accustomed to the freedom of
Gods out-of-doors.
Herod had allowed him some privi-
leges, it seems, for he received visits
from some Of his disciples. Knowing
as he did that his work had been that Of
the forerunner of the Messiah, and be-
lieving with all his heart that Jesus
was the Messiah. he wondered why he
had been allowed to stay in this prison
so long. No doubt John shared with
many others at that time the idea that
Jesus was to establish a temporal king
DOM He was wondering why under
these circumstances He should have
left him to suffer as he was when He
might have relieved him.
THE QUESTION AND ANSWER
He had determined to find out, so he
sent two of his disciples who had been
on visit to him to ask Jesus whether
He was really the Messiah or not. The
disc'~les found Jesus in the midst of
gre a throng in Capernaum, and when
the ., estion was propounded He did not
give an answer Immediately; He went
right own with His work, except that
He was apparently more active in 1T
than He had been before. In that same
hour He cured many of their infirmities
and of plaques, and of evil spirits. To
many that were blind He gave sight; the
deaf He made hear; the dead were rails
ed to life, and there was no man so
poor but that he had the priceless priv
iIege Of hearing the sweet story told by
the lips of the Master Himself. Finally,
turning to Johns disciples He said to
them: Go your way and tell John what
things YOU have seen and heard; how the
blind see, lame walk. lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised, ana
to the poor the gospel is preached
Then He added, blessed is he that
shall not find me a stumbling block.
After the disciples left, He turned to
the people and spoke a word TO them
concerning John. In way IT was
great blow to His work; If John who
had believed so fully in His Messianlc
claims should go back on Him, or even
show any tendency in that direclon,
His enemies would have a powerful
weapon in their hands with which 10
fight Him. In way, therefore, py way
of excuse and also as a defense or his
own ministry, Jesus spoke these words

in them; He recognized that
