YOUNG MRS. AST0R'S PLIGHT

Persons of prominence-some Of
them women foremost in the advocacy
of equal rights for women-are con-
demning Col. John Jacob Astor be-
cause Of the provision of his will that
gives to Mrs. Astor the income of $5.-
100000 $50 long as she shall remain
SINGLE If the beautiful young widow
marries she will lose this income. The
comment of Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper
is characteristic of the meddling crit
icism of others.
The taking away of her income
and house from Mrs. Astor," says Mrs.
Harper, "in the event of her remar-
riage, seems to me a most unfair
thing to do. It would be a very self
ish thing on the part of a man or
woman who is old, but especially so in
this case, where girl is just stepping
into life. In doing so man is depriv-
ing his widow of the privileges of fam
lily which belong to the state. In view
of 1t such precedent gets out into
the fundamental principles of duty to.

COLONEL GoRGAs ON FUTURE OF TROPICS

!. Are the tropics. which were for
ages the seat of powerful civilizations
and Of mighty empires, once more to
become favored and desirable spots
for civilized man? Col.- w. C. Gorgas,
the man who as sanitary, officer clean
ed up the Isthmus of Panama, thinks
they will. In a recent address at
Johns Hopkins university, after de-;
scribing the wonderful reduction in
disease under the sanitary precautions
established, Colonel Gorgas speculates
on the effect this: demonstration on
our ideas of the tropics as a place Of
residence. He says that 1t is an es-
tablished fact that always in the past
the Caucasian has wilted and died in
the tropics. He has found it almost
impossible to rear his children under
these conditions, and when he has
survived, a degenerate race has re-
suited. But at Panama a force of 10,-
900 Caucasians have lived for the past
six years as well as in the healthful
parts of the United States. Not only

SIR THOMAS Upton STILL UNDAUNTED

The New York Yacht club has, after
a good deal of discussion, accepted
Sir Thomas Lipton's sixth challenge
for the cup originally won from the
Royal Yacht club of England by the
United States fast sailing boat Amer
lea.
Three times Sir Thomas challenges
have been accepted and three times
have his yachts been defeated. Un-
daunted still he has pushed his last
attack with such persistency that the
New York yachtmen have been fairly
driven into undertaking the prodig-
ious expense implied in defending the
cup.
With the enthusiastic challenger ex-
pense counts for nothing. He has set
his heart on winning the cup, for the
glory of Ireland, his native land.

asl1d that should he be bound over to
the grand jury that his bond be made
light enough that he might be able to
secure 1t.
The main point made by the prose-
cution was that sufficient evidence
that a first degree murder had been
committed by the defendant that the
question as to the degree was one
that should be put UP to jury and
not decided by judge.
In rendering his decision the judge
stated that the only question for him
to decide was whether or not the
defendant was entitled to bail under
the evidence submitted. He said tina,
the defendant should be held for the
grand jury on a charge Of first de
gree murder and that his bond be
set at $4,000.

HOLD TUCKER ON
MURDER CHARGE
Defendant Accused Of the Murder Of
Paul Redmon Bound Over to
| tho Grand
Jury.
BOND WAS SET AT $40, 900
Testimony Of Defendants Sixteen Year
Old Daughter Who Witnessed
the Shooting Is
Important.

Joseph H. Tucker, charged with the
murder of Paul Redmon, whose pre-
liminary hearing before Judge Nc
Namara OF the superior court was
held Wednesday, was bound over to
the grand Jury and his bond set at
$4,000, at the conclusion OF the hear
ing late that afternoon.
The most interesting event In con-
nection with the hearing was the tes-
timony Of Nellie Tucker sixteen year
old daughter OF the defendant, and the
only person who witnessed the nIur-
der. Only once during her testimony
did she become confused, and that
was when she told where it was
that Redmon got the poker he is said
to have held in his hand when he
struck Tucker Just before he was
shot.
When examined by Prosecuting At
torney McManus her attitude was
plainly hostile. She snapped out hel
answers in a most emphatic manner
Plainly she realized that on her tes
timony might lie the results OF the
trial, and she was fighting for the lifs
of her father.

Tucker Told Redmon to Leave.

Her father came in the room III
short time. He came around the
counter and had a few words with
her mother concerning a check, and
her mother then left the room. Her
father then went around behind the
counter and opened the cash drawer.
She stated that she could not see
whether he took anything from it or
not. Her father then turned around
and addressed Redmon. Redmon,
you get out of here" Redmon made
no answer and her father repeated
the demand several times. Finally
Redmon answered. Nellie would not
repeat what Redmon's words were,
but explained that they were very vul-
ear. Her father then went to the end
of the counter and said, 'Redtmon,
told you to get out of here and |
mean IT. Redmon then struck her
father in the face with his fist. AS
Tucker fell backward against the
counter he fired the revolver at Red.
mon, and Redmon fell forward on mis-
face. Nellie testified that Redmon
held an iron rod or poker In his left
hand and that he had raised this
hand to strike her father when her
father firer the shot.
She testified that Redmon had had
the poker in his hand for about ten
minutes, and that she saw it on the
floor after he had been shot.
She was questioned very closely by
Attorney McManus about where Red
mon had got the poker and how long
he had been holding it in hds hand
Two other witnesses We're introduced
by the defense and were placed or
the stand just before Nellie. They
were Ed. Jones and VERNE Jones
two boys who had been at the watch
house when Redmon came there just
before the shooting. Il

Saw Whole Affair.

Her story covered almost everything
that occurred from the time Redmon
flrst came to the store on the after
noon of the shooting until after the
police had taken her father away.
According to her statements Redmon
came into the store Saturday after
noon. After not seeing her father he
went out in few minutes and went
over to the watch house.
He came back. from there in few
minutes, entered the store and asked
her, the only person in the room at
the time, where her father and mother
were She told him that her father
was asleep. He snatched a paper
from her hands, sat down and read
for minute or so. Then he got UP,
4 woke her father up and took him out
/ to the barn, going out the back way.
Her mother then came in the store,
and her little four year old sister
came in shortly after. The sister
told them that her father and Red
mon were fighting out near the barn
