Lexington, ILL.,, Scene oil
Fight That May Cause
Two Deaths.
CLIMAX OF LONG FEUD
One First Wounded Gets Re-
volver While Opponent
u Awaits Return.

Bloomington, H., May 29-Joseph
Stoughton, hotel proprietor, and C. G.
Preble, garage owner, engaged in a
duel in the streets of Lexington, ILL.,.
yesterday. Both may die from their
wounds.
The duel occurred in front of the
Office of Attorney Joseph Weakley,
where Stoughton had spent several
hours in making his will, expecting
trouble would follow a meeting with
Preble.
sTOUGHTON FIRST TO FIRR
Stoughton met Preble, who had Just
returned. No one heard what passed
between the two men. Stoughton
fired the first shot, shooting with his
revolver in his coat pocket. The bull
let struck Preble in the left side.
Preble ran upstairs to his room and
obtained his revolver, while Stoughton
waited for his return. After his re-
turn Preble fired first. Two bullets
entered the body of Stoughton. One
penetrated his abdomen and another
his left shoulder. One shot missed.
Stoughton was carried to his home by
bystanders, who had seen the shoot
ing, but who were afraid to interfere.
Surgeons decided to bring Slough
ton to the Bloomington hospital, and
an effort was made to remove the bull.
let last night, but without success.
WILL LEAVES ALL TO WIFE.
Stoughton's will left everything to
his wife. There are no children.
Prebles friends say that Stoughton
| has been a trouble maker since he
first came to Lexington, five years ago.
Preble is one of the leading business
men of the city and is highly respect
ed. He formerly operated a vehicle
repair shop. but several years ago
changed this to a garage and automo-
| bile supply station.
Trouble between the two men Is
said to have started over charges by
| Stoughton that Preble had exposed
him for renting a room to a man from
the country who purchased intoxi-
cants.

Foreign Nations Protest
Against Tariff Bill
DifferentiaI.
CLAUSE FOR 5 PER CENT
Finance Chairman Says Senate
Committee Has Decided to
Drop 1t.

Washington, D. c.. May 29-Sena-
committee, definitely announced after
a conference with President Wilson to-
day that the proposed five per cent
differential on imports on American
owned or controlled vessels would be
dropped from the tariff bill in the
senate owing to protests from foreign
nations.
Chairman Underwood of the house
ways and means committee asked
about the probable action of the house
should the tariff bill come back with
an amendment to eliminate the five
per cent clause, said personally he ia
vored retention of the provision as one
of the ways of building up merchant
marine.
Foreign nations discriminate in ia
vor of their own shipping" said Under
wood, "and l don't see why we should
not"
WILL OBEY ADMINISTRATION.
Underwood did not indicate, how
ever, whether there would be any eff.
fort to retain the provision if the ad.
ministration raised a strong objection.
The senate subcommittee working
on the cotton schedule is said to be
ready to recommend some increase in
rates. More than a hundred witness.
es are reported to have favorably i'm
pressed senators with arguments that
some of the cuts are too great. Some
reductions are krSayn to have beer
decided upon by the subcommittee or
the wool and metals schedules and or
structural steel, while pig--iron and
ferro-manganese probably will go t
the free list.
LOBBY RESOLUTION UP.
Senator Cummins was ready to call
up in the senate late today his resolu
tion for an inquiry into the tariff lobby
which the president designated as 'in
sidious." That it would be passed with
some modification was the opinion oi
democratic leaders. Cummins today
introduced an amendment to the tariff
bill to put a tax of 10 per cent ad
valorem on stock market sales.

REJECTS APPEAL
OF REPUBLICANS
Progressive Party in National
House Spurns Proposition
for Amalgamation.
INVITES OTHERS TO JOIN
Declares It Will Continue to Fight for
Social Justice for All the
People.

Washington, D. c.. May 29.-The
progressive party in the house OF
representatives went on record yes
terday in opposition to the amaigama-
ton with the republicans proposed in
the recent Chicago and Washington
conferences of leaders of the republi-
can party.
At meeting presided over by Pre-
gressive Leader Murdoch it was as
serted that the party is growing phe-
nomenally and that it offers the only
refuge for progressive republicans
and democrats.
The resolutions adopted recited that
"at the several recent so-called re-
publican harmony meetings a few OF
the many abuses committed by the re-
dictionary leaders of the republican
party were openly confessed and the
fundamental reasons for the forma
ton of the new party made doubly
apparent"
CALL FIR RECRUITS.
1t was pointed out that the progress
sives have a distinct program Of leg
| islation for social betterment. The
resolution concluded:
The progressives of the Sixty-third
congress, in open conference, moved
by the deep conviction of the per
manency of the progressive party,
| hereby extend to the progressive men
and women of all parties a sincere in
vitation to join the progressive party
which, unallied now and for all time
with anything reactionary, stands for
social and industrial justice for every
man, woman and child in this grea
nation, and as a living protest against
the evil influence of special priv
lege.
PLAN OF FUSION SPURNED.
"All the old party is about to dC
now is hold postmetem," observed
Representative Murdoch. 81 for on'
will never go back to the republican
party, and believe the rank and fit
of republicans will come to u.s."
There can be no amalgamation o
the progressive and republican par
ties at the top" said Representative
Hinebaugh Of Illinois, who offered th'
resolution. "Murdock, Payne ant
Cummins never could get together
The only amalgamation possibl
would be at the bottom. But there
are no signs Of amalgamation being
desired by the rank and file Of tn,
progressives."
