aThe LittIest Rebel

The Burlington Hawk-Eye OF this
morning contained the following re
port of the theatrical critics opinion
of THE Littlest Rebel appearing
in that city last evening and to be the
attraction at the Keokuk Grand opera
house tomorrow night. l.. G. Worley,
formerly manager of the Grand, now
at Aurora, has booked the company
for a return date, SO great was the
satisfaction of the Aurora audience:
"The Littlest Rebel with Marshall
Farnum as Captain Herbert Carey
and Viola NJ. Savoy as "Virgie, the
Littlest Rebel was the attraction at
the Grand last evening. The critics
in the large cities have differed in
their opinions as to the pray itself.
Whatever it may lack, it possesses
the great virtue CT becoming more in
teresting, more gripping, as the pres
entation proceeds. While the first
act leaves the audience rather cold, 1t
begins to warm up in the second,
and the interest increases. Of course,
it is war play, but, after all, 1t is
more OF a heart interest story by a
skilled reporter. The company was
all good, and the performance moved
along with ever accelerating tread
and the people said. st Is good car
/ ing not a rap what the eastern critica
may or may not have said OF it. And
there were girls and ladies in the
audience, who confessed that it had
been long since they had SO good 9
cry. And there were veterans of this
bloody struggle who noted much thai
was familiar and who noted better
than smoke and the dust and the
sound Of distant battle, that the trend
of 1t all was toward peace, toward
better understanding between th'
, brothers who had been at each 9th

! and better than military glory o

Mrs. Wake, Custodian Of Flags, Pro
pOses That Home of Jefferson Should
Pass to State of Virginia.

Observation-Disclosures of flowers were
laid at the foot of the statues Of Ulysses
5. Grant and Robert E. Lee in the CAPT
tol by direction of the United Daughters
OF the ~Confederacy, who held their con-
vention here.
A sentiment developed during the con-
vention among the Virginia delegation
OF the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, that the home of Jefferson should
pass into the hands of the state of Vir-
ginia, instead of the national govern
ment, as so persistently advocated by
Mrs. Martin W. Littleton, wife of Repre-
sentative Littleton of New York.
Mrs. Frank Anthony Wake, custodian
OF flags and ~pennants of the U. D. c., is
the leader of the movement to have Mon
ticello taken over by the state of Vir-
ginia. 1t is a fact, however, and admit
ted by Mrs. Wake, that a great major
ity OF the Virginia delegation has signed
the petition of Mrs. Littleton and that
thus most of the Virginia delegation IS
committed. Nearly all of the 600 in the
Virginia delegation have signed for Mrs.
Littleton, and among these signers is Mrs.
A. J.. Compbell, president of the state
delegation. Mrs. Wake admits that her
opposition is based in part upon the fail
ure of Mrs. Littleton to meet her in
Washington last winter to appear before
congressional committee on the subject.

FOR TRADE AUTONOMY
Principle of Industrial Unionism De

Rochester, N. Y.-After a debate that
lasted all day, members OF the radical
wing OF the American Federation of La
Dor were defeated by u vote of nearly
two to one in their attempt to have the
federation adopt the principle of indus.
trial unionism in place of it's policy OF
trade autonomy. Two hundred and forty.

report OF the committee on education.
which favored the principle of industrial
un'onism, and 142 voted in its favor.
The voting strength of the convention.
based on membership in represented
bodies, went 1888 against the minority
report and 5000 for it.. After the minor.
l'y report had been defeated, the ma
lority report in favor of the continuance

MAN AND WOMAN, SUSPECTED
THIEVES. SPREAD DEATH.
CORNERED IN HOTEL ROOM
Four Victims May Die. Three Detectives

New York-A man and a stno,
In a small room of a Raine's Law hote

four of those whom he shot down, the
man shot and killed the and
then put a bullet through bis own head,
dying instantly.
The dead man was known by several
names, having registered at the hotel
as Joseph Vogel. The police declare
that he was a Pole, named Pheres Do
rogieskid. The woman with him had
registered as Lottie Vogel.
The detectives were on the trail of
the pair, suspecting them of having been
accomplices in a diamond robbery for
which Sophie Beckendorf, a domestic,
Central Office Detective Martin F.
Fay and Private Detectives John Allen
and Louis Gerade went to the hotel in
search of their quarry. Louis Mond-
schein, the proprietor, told of the couple
having arrived in a taxicab early in the
evening, and ordered William Butler, a
waiter, to show the detectives to the
VogeFs room.
Vogel opened the door in response to
a summons, and as Allen forced his way
in, declaring that the couple were under
arrest, Vogel struck the detective over
the head with a black jack and then
grasped a magazine pistol which lay
upon the bed. His first bullet struck
Allen in the head and he fell, probably
fatally hurt.
Detectives Fay and Gerada rusned
into the room, followed by Proprietor
Mondschein and Butler. 1t is declared
that they did not fire a shot, but ex-
pecttd to seize Aliens assassin. They
werf not quick enough. Vogel let go
one shot after another, nearly every one

probably fatal wounds in the
abdomen. Gerada was shot in the leg
AMI back, and Butler received a bad
in the hip.
The woman, also armed, had fired sew
efl shots, some of which, it is believed,
hit the detectives.
Evidently crazed at his gun work, vo-
gl turned to his woman companion and

CARRYING INTERNAL MACHINE.

WAS FELLED WITH "BILLY"
Detective Scattered Dynamite and Pre-.
vented Disaster-All Prisoners
Were Removed From Prison.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Armed with an in
fernal machine containing enough dyna
mite to destroy an entire city block, a
bottle Of nitreglycerine and a .45-calibrt
revolver, a masked maniac took posses
sion OF the central police station and held
it for more than an hour, while hundreds
of occupants of the building and those
for blocks around, panic-tricken, sought
safety in distance.
When Detective James Hossick
knocked the man unconscious with a
leather "billy' after slipping up behind
him, the fuse of the internal machine
was automatically ignited, but Detective
Samuel j.. Browne grabbed the box, with
its fuse sharply spIuttering, and hurled
1t INTO the street. Sticks of high power
dynamite scattered over the pavement.
while hundreds of spectators stood an.
parently paralyzed by fright. Through
a freak of chance there was no explosion,
and Browse continued kicking the sticks
OF dynamite and jumping on the fuse
until ne had broken the connection and
e~xtlguished the fire.
After Davis HAD held complete posses
sion of the station for nearly an hour
and a half a plan was devised by the de-
t~ectives to trap him.
While Secretary Snively carried on the
with the maniac Detective
Hossick tiptoed from the outer room.
which was at Davis back, and struck
nm on the head with a blackjack. The
internal machine dropped and Detective
Browne grabbed it.
DAVIS reached in his coat pocket and
iiosslck hit him again, and he tumbled
TO the floor unconscious. The bottle of
nitro,glycerine and the revolver were in
Davis inside coat pocket, toward which
he had reached.
AS Davis had said, his left hand was
attached to the mechanism of the in.
lernal machine and its withdrawal 10.
hited the fuse, but the quick work of
detective Browne prevented the sparks
from reaching the explosive. There were
sixty half sticks of dynamite and an ex.
pert said it was 50 per cent and that

block.
