AGED MINISTER CONVICTED.
Jury Finds Rev. Mcfarland Caused
Death Of His Secretary.

PittsEurg, March 19.-The Rev. DR.
". d. Mcfarland, minister and ed
ucatOr, former head OF the Pitts5urs
GER ral high school, but later con.
nected with United Presbyterian mis-
sion work at Greenville. Tenn, was
convicted by a jury in criminal court
here Saturday of causing the death
OF his former secretary, Elsie Dodds
Coe, last January. His attorneys took
an appeal and it will he argued next
week.
The defense rested its case soon
after court convened this morning.
The defense won what it believed
was a verdict when it succeeded in
having Judge Haymaker eliminate
all but the fourth count of the in
dictment, the count which charged
that Dr. Mcfarland administered
medical treatment to the girl Janu-
airy ,. In his charge to the jury,
Judge Haymaker pointed out that the
jurors We're not to consider that the
minister was not a practicing physi-
clan, but to dwell on the truth or fal-
sity OF the facts as brought ont by
the testimony.
Mrs Mcfarland, the aged wife OF
the accused man, who had been at
his side in the court room since
the trial started, was visibly af-
feCted when the verdict was ren.
dered The jury deliberated only a
short time.

ONE MAN SHOT IN HEAD
ANOTHER IN SHOULDER.
Two Bullets Lodge Against Brain
of Roy f. Kamp.

While at their work Saturday
in the third floor store

Roy E. Ramp, foreman,
was shot twice in the head and
dangerously wounded, and Allen
Jackson, starting on his first days
work for the company, was shot

did the shooting, is still at large.
Although two 25-caliber steel
bullets entered his skull and lodg-
ed against the brain, Kemp never
lost consciousness all day Saturday
and he is expected to recover unless

According to the statements of
Ramp and Jackson, it was planned
to have Jackson take the place of
Leary at the office and yesterday
Jackson came to learn the work. A
few minutes later Leary entered and
accused Ramp Of intending to throw
him out. A minute later an auto
matte pistol was drawn and Jack
son was shot once and Ramp twice,
Jackson, it is thought, was hit by
the first shot and Ramp fell after
the second one or with the third
one, one of which entered just

The Philippine adventure has

thousands of lives.
The Panama canal a military
enterprise primarily, will have cost
close on s400,o00,000 when com

Our army and navy expenditures
each year run well above $780,
100000, in a time of profound
peace.
Our military pension roll approx
mates $150,000,00 year.
We permit our congress to APP
propriate these and other vast sums,
for uses incidental to war, without
murmur.
gress appropriates as much as
100000 a year for the improve
ment of all our national rivers and
harbors.
Our modern motto seems to be,
Billions for war, but mighty lit
tie for the benefit of the workers.
This years spring floods in the
valley of the Mississippi and its
chief tributary, the Ohio, have caus-
ed property losses, thus far, which
are roughly, and probably made
quately, estimated at more than
$3.50, 600, 900. The loss of life is
unknown, but estimates run from
100 to 500. These are only the
deaths by drowning. Other hun
dreds, and possibly thousands, of,
the more than 100000 people sud-
denly evicted from their homes and
driven to temporary shelters viii
shortened by exposure and mentSl
suffering consequent upon their
property losses. Millions of acrSs
of the nations richest lands at His
writing lie submerged under fldod
waters, two to twenty feet in deQth.
On most of these lands no cotton
nor cane crop can be made This
year Thousands of cattle, mules
and horses have drowned. Scores !
Of thriving small cities and towns
have been inundated and depopula-
ed, houses wrecked, furniture
ruined, store stocks wiped out,
All of this loss which in less de-
free takes place almost every yea
ould be prevented by the adoption
md conservation Of flood waters
or summer irrigation. These reser-
oirs would catch and hold, to flow
# gradually, the spring floods sent
own by melting SHOWS and torren-
al rains. There would be no more
reaking of leyees along the lower 7
caches of the Mississippi The c
.ored waters in the reservoirs
ouId be available for irrigating q
-ops during the long, dry summer, J
ives and property would be made
sfe, and the agricultural produce
ion of the great central valley
'ould be notably increased in vol
lme and In value.
1t is probable that an amount
equal to less than this years flood |
losses in the Mississippi valley
would build complete the whole
necessary system of dams ana res
ervoirs
Yet our alleged statesmen at
generation after gener-
alton, go on spending nearly three
'ourths of the nations whole yearly |
'evenue for war purposes and pen
lions, go on repeating parrot argu-
nents over relatively unimportant
letails of political issues, and go on
leglecting to undertake this enor-
nously important work of flood
