STORY OF KILLING

Whishey was the cause oof the
tragedy that on last Sunday night
brought death to the head Of the Rea
family Louis r. Rea, and serious in.
turies to the wife, Mrs. Blanche Rea,
in a First street resort, according to
the story yesterday told by Mrs. Re,
at the Phys clans and surgeons hos.
pital drs. Rea is recovering from
the two bullet wounds inflicted By her
husband, before he shot and killed
himself.
Mrs Rea said she left her husband
at their farm near Adelaide. Okla.
homa, about two weeks ago, taking
her baby with her. because her hus-
band was constantly drunk. She de-
clined to state whether he abused her.
She left the baby in Chandler with
relatives and came to Tulsa to visit
an aunt who kept a dlsorderly house
here.
She told OF her husband arriving
last Sunday In n drunken condition
and gave details Of the fatal affray.
Her husband shot her twice and whom
she fell, Stimulating death, he turned
his revolver on himself.
Mrs. Rea is very bright and cheer
ful and 1t Is this disposition that has
brought her from the brink OF the
grave. Physicians say her recovery is

Express Rates and Parcel Post.

Of cigars from Detroit to Milwaukee, pay
ing 40 cents express charges. He then
went in person to Milwaukee and found
that the parcel had been delivered by par
eel post bearing - cents worth OF stamps,
proving beyond question that the express
company had made 10 cents on the trans
action. which cost it % cents. Thus its
profit ran to over 81 per cent on the ac-
tual outlay. II is a question whether the
government can take cognizance of this
case. OF course, an express company is
not necessarily prohibited from using the
parcel post But the interstate commerce
commission may take an interest In the

A New Varsion Of Madero's Death.

letter has SeeR>. received and pub
lished in this country signed by men who
represent themseiv~s.as president and

Pine Suarez, late respectively president
and vice president OF -texico, were not
killed in the course of an aNkempt to res
tue them as they were being transferred
to the penitentiary. but that they were
deliberately put to death by the Huerta-
Diaz government, in the presence of the
two chiefs themselves in the yard of the
penitentiary. According to this story
graves were dug in the penitentiary yard
and Madero and Suarez. after being in
suited and tormented. were forced to the
edge of the pits and there their Threats
were cut When they had thus been slain
the guard fired salvos in cxuitation. The
writer's of the letter declare that the gov
ernment chiefs ordered sIs>who were en-
gagged in or cognizant of. the assassina-
tons to keep silent under pain of death.
The story thus told differs so radically
from the officially proclaimed version of
the dual killing that it is difficult of be-
lief. Certainly there is no obvious plausi-
bility in this tale. The bodies of Madero

of cut threats. but there was some talk of
evidences that powder marks indicating

the hair from around the wound in the
skull. and in the case of Suarez by the
complete changing of tire clothing. This

The Hunger for Office.
From the New York World.

y
President Wilson does not meet the ex-
pectations OF the Office seekers. No Pres
ident ever did. Jefferson was forced to
write one of his matchless letters on the
subject. The elder Harrison was hurried
to his death by importantly. Lincoln
was more harassed by place hunters than
by the awful imminence Of civil war.
The easy-going Garfield was murdered
by q disappointed applicant. How shall
this craze for position be mitigated? Elk
elusive Of the army and navy and the
laborers at Panama. the government sery-
ice embraces 391, coo persons. No doubt
somebody wants to displace every one OF
them. Is it possible to imagine Presi-
dent Of the United States newly in Office
attempting in a week or month 10
meet and to pass upon the claims of all
these aspirants? Is 1t even conceivable
that he could do so with the assistance
of every member of his cabinet and
every member Of Congress? The new
President takes refuge behind the civil
service laws. behind the tenure-of- office
law and behind his high sense OF duty,
but most of all behind his ideas of right
and decency and order.

but the commission may find in the charg-
ing OF excessive rates grounds for a
further revision of express company
charges in all cases where the service for
which the charge is made is actually rem

simple way to get at this matter would
be to double the rate to be paid by any
recognized common carrier or express
company for parcel post service. 1t is inn

The President and Legislation.

1t is rot likely that we shall see
any radical departure from custom
under this administration in the mat
ter of White House influence on leg
islation. Things will proceed very
much as always. Mr.. Wilson will make
recommendations by message, regular
or special When Congress takes them
up there will be conferences between
the President and legislative leaders
about details. Senators and repre-
sentatives Wiil visit the White House
by request. ost other .Simes they will
go of their own accord. where there
are differences between the executive and
Congress. an effort will be made to ad-
Just them before the vote is called. II
the executive is stubborn, Congress will
use its arts of persuasion. If Congress is
stubborn. the executive will use persua-
sion to soften the legislative heart and
bring it around to reason.
There is no other way. Nor could an
other way be devised without throwing
our machinerv, dangerously out of gear.

as its hard side. and he never failed to
touch the side he needed at the time.
The same was true of Mr.. Mckinley,
who. like Mr. Lincoln. was Of kindly
and patient nature, and from much
longer congressional service knew the
ways of Congress even better than the

we should neither overindulge ourselves.
nor stint ourselves. Let us examine our
needs carefully. and supply generously
those that pass muster. A budget Will
enable us to see the situation whole, and
act on it intelligently.
AS for debate. the rules should be rigid
without being tyrannical. The House is
now a large body. Four hundred and odd
men gathered together in one hall. and
all with business in hand. require skiliful
handling to prevent confusion and insure
progress. Among the number are many
orators. and your orator always wants to
be heard. He would il he could make q

Let 1t shunt the alleged declaration of
Mr.. Aldrich that the supplies for the
support OF the government could be
reduced at least three hundred millions
annually. and frankly confess that the re-
vision OF the House rulessmade by Speaker
Reed acknowledgement ago was public
service of very great importance. The
supplies could not be SO cut materially
without a heavy loss to public interests,
and even a partial return to the rules
that prevailed prior to Mr.. Reeds day in
the chair. and which he revised radically.
would be a public misfortune.
The democratic party Is now in full
control Of the government. and has taken
charge at a time Of great prosperity and
opportunity. Its course in the House will
be watched with all the greater inter
est because its most experienced lead
ers are members Of that body, and in
the highly important matter of tariff re-

House does. therefore, toward getting into
