Hugh Roberts. negro who is thought
to be insane, was turned over to Sher-
iff Norton this morning. This is one
of the few insane cases which the po-
lice have been successful in inducing
the sheriff to accept, though there is
no law under which the police can take
charge of such. Roberts was turned
over to the county peace officer this
morning by Jailer Ed Woodruff, who
took the man to the office and refused
TO take him away. The county COM
missioners did not think that they
should pay his expenses but finally
authorized C. N. Bacon, the poor COM
missioner, to give him transportation to
Kansas City.
Sergeant Lon Sauls can't be folled
on a crap game. He is a native of
Kentucky where dice are raised and
ulation reside. He lived in his native
state just long enough to learn how
to detect or find a crowd of crap shoot
ers. He led a raid on such a crowd
about 1 o'clock Sunday morning. They
were kneeling down over a blanket in
an empty house at 905 Jefferson street
and one of the crowd had just made a
pass for dollar. The big sergeant
deaped into the center of the crowd
and grabbed the dice, money and
blanket in one hand and one of the
crap shooters in the other. The other
officers who were with him grabbed
seven others. All were released on bond
and are due to appear in police court
at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon but not
expected. Those who were arrested are

TAFT PARDONS
 WOMAN SLAYER
Execution of Seven Men ID New York Moves Pres
 ident to Mercy

Washington, Aug 12-With the sev~ en-fold example of legalized murder before him and following determined campaign by leading women of the national capital, President Taft, this afternoon, announced that he would commute to life imprisonment the death sentence imposed on Matte Lomax. colored woman, convicted Of murdering her husband and the first woman held in the District of Colum- bia under the death sentence.
 The Lomax woman is said to be dy- ing of tuberculosis.
 Senators and Representatives were chary of expressing opinions on the subject but prominent women were not.
 T am opposed to capital punish ment on general principles" said Mrs LaFollette wife of the Wisconsin Senator. ''The executions today, in New York, emphasize this outrage on society Capital punishment tends to- increase rather than obviate crime. [ do not think the state ought to take human life in the interests of society for such executions have most vile effect on the public. It is a subject upoh which I feel very deeply. Par ticularly here in the capital, execution Of any human being ought not to be, tolerated as an example to the rest: of the nation. Capital punishmenti ought not 10 exlSI
 Tn announcing his decision, President Taft gave out the following:
 T have given very close considera- tion to this case because 1t involves, capital punishment and I am convinced, that there is reasonable doubt as to, the reconciliation of the defendant inl inc shooting of her husband necessary to justify her conviction of murder inl the first degree.
 .'The only living witness of the kill ing was the defendant herself. It oc- cured at night in the room Of tnes deceaeed and there were evidences of struggle. It is conclusively shown by bullet holes and by other circum-' stances that the deceased was not shot, in bed and it leaves possible hypo- thesis and explanation of the facs-- not unreasonable or rebutted by any of the circumstances-that the killing might have taken place without pre- meditation"

KILLS WIFE AND SELF, FATALLY
 WOUNDS CHILD

Pittsburgh, Aug. 121-After shoot ing and killing his wife and fatally wounding his 18 months old daugh- ter, Frank Kenyon sent a bullet through his own heart, dying instant ly, shortly before noon, today.
 The tragedy took place at the La Fayette Hotel, not far from Union Station, where the trio registered, last night, from Turtle Creek, Pa.
 The baby is at the Homeopa thic Hospital with a bullet wound above the heart and her parents are lying side by side, this afternoon, or slabs at the county morgue.
 No reason for the deed has been discovered. Mrs. Kenyon told the cham ber1naid, early today, that her husband was sick and for that reason stayed in his room all morning. Then just before, noon came the pistol shots and before the door could be broken down the two were dead and tbe baby wounded.
 When Manager Whitehouse and Policeman Williams broke into the room where the Kenyon family was quartered, following the four shots, they found the father and mother with bullet wounds over the heart, lying dead. The baby, close by the window, also had bullet wound over the heart but was still alive and its little white dress was slowly burning from the flash of the powder.

SHORT CORN CAUSES HIGH
 MEAT PRICES
This is Claim ot Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Who Thinks Meat Will
 Fall

Washington, Aug 12-High meat prices are caused by short corn crops and since this seasons yield of Ihe cereal will probably be- the third larg- est in the history of the country, the housewife may expect a material re- duetion in beef prices, next winter Moreover, bumper crops of all kinds will probably effect a reduction in the cost of living.
 This was the opinion expressed, to- day, by Secretary of Agriculture Will son.
 Beef will be cheaper than it has been for a number of years" said the secretary. ''The best beef is fed on corn but with that cereal so scarce in the last year that it scared to 70 cents a bushel many cattle raisere felt they could mot feed their cattle for slaughtering purposes on corn and get their money back. The result was that little good quality beef entered Chicago and prices rose.
 This year the corn crop will reach more than 2,sO0, 100000 bushels. This will appreciabiy lower beef prices, aid- ed by the splendid hay and oat crop
 But the price of beef will never bs as low as it was a decade ago. This Is due to the fact thatsthe broad graz ing lands have been split into home steads.
 "The oat crop is expected to be the biggest ever harvested. the hay cror will be enormous. Cotton is about the only crop that will fall slightly below the average. The good peach cror now being gathered is taken as ar indication that all fruits will be plen- tiful this fall. Altogether, the ont1ook is so prom. ising as to indicate reduction in the cost of living next winter

ANARCHIST KILLED
 IN FIGHT WITH LOS ANGELES POLICE

Los Angeles, Aug. 12-Leon Cult terez, well known anarchist, is dead and Policemen Perry and Bains are wounded today, as the result of a riot in the Plaza, last night, when the police were stoned by a crowd ot Mexicans
 The police were attempting to are rest Ed Moreno, an alleged pickpocket, when Guitterez drew a pistol and call- ed upon the crowd of Mexicans to go to the rescue. As Gl1itterez came to the attack, Policeman Perry fired and sent a. bullet through the Mexican s heart
 A terrific fight followed, during which the police reserves arrived and dispersed the crowd after several hundred Mexicans and Chinese had taken a hand.
 At the time President Taft and President Diaz met at Fl Paso sev- eral years ago, it was alleged that an anarchist plot was on foot and that Guitterez was involved in it.

 His experiment with the wireless was a failure as the apparatus was loosened by a gust of wind rendering it useless. On his return, he said he secured good idea of the location of all the troops.
 Two flights were made previous to his scouting trip. Lieutenant Milling with a passenger, went up to an al titude of 1000 feet. On this flight, a reconnoiterzwas made west of Bridge port.
 Governor Dix and his staff paid a visit to the camps in the morning. He gave a lunch to the officers at noon and tonight the governor and his of ficial family will be dined by Gen eral Bliss.

Nuzzo with others was playing ball in the roadway when struck. The driver claims that he had his car under con- trol going at a rate of not more than b miles an hour, and that he gave warning of his approach. Friends of Nuzzo say that the car was going as fast as 40 miles an hour and ythar there was no warning given. It was well for Miller that Sheriff Elwood appeared shortly after the accident, for threatening crowd gathered and made threats on the chauffeur's life. Sheriff Elwood took him into custody and brought him before Justice Ba- con Wakernan for a hearing This morning under direction of Sheriff Elwood surveyors measured the roadway at the scene of the acci- dent.
