'NA GSau WitU0Nk SsGTG!eQ.
Witnesses who saw William v
Cleary, town clerk and political lead
er' kill Eugene B. Newman, his young
son-inlaw, in Clearys Office in Haver
straw, N. Y, testified at the coroners
inquest that Cleary fired shots at
Newman before the boy had said a
word.
Josiah FELTON,, county supervisor,
declared that young Newman entered
the county clerks Office and took a
seat in front of Cleary's desk. The
town clerk turned around, the witness
said, and remarked:
You think you've put one over on
me-" Then without warning, according
to FELTON,, Cleary drew a pistol and
opened fire.
Cleary says he killed Newman be-
cause he thought he wronged his
daughter and did not know of their
secret marriage a week ago. 1t was
brought out that his wife told him OF
the marriage a few hours before the
tragedy.

browns Tied to Stake.

Before drowning himself in Ranco-
cas- creek, near Rancocas, N. j.,
Christian Stemmer, seventy-two years
old, took elaborate precautions to
make certain that his body should be
found.
Going to the shore Of the creek.
which flows past his home, the aged
man drove a stake, fastening to it one
end OF thirty-foot rope and knotting
the other end about an ankle and
waded into the creek beyond his
depath.
After a search of two hours rela-
tives found the body bobbing on the
end Of the line, where the tide had
carried it near the shore. Stemmer
was suffering from cancer and had
threatened repeatedly to commit sui

Roosevelt Again Attacks Barnes.

Roosevelt Again Attacks Barnes.
Colonel Roosevelt made reply a
Oyster Bay, L. L, to the $4,000 libe
suit of William Barnes, the summons
in which was served on him, by re
newed attack on the Republican state
committees chairman.
The writ is based on a statement by
the colonel attacking Mr.. Barnes ant
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammauy
leader, and endorsing Harvey d. Hin
mans candidacy for the governorship
The colonel said he would not be
deferred by the suit from attacking
Mr.. Barnes. but, on the contrary, he
would assai him the harder. He ex-
pressed the nope that he would have
the opportunity to 90 on the witness
stand against Mr.. Barnes before the
November election.
To make clear what he meant, the
former president, who was in a fight
ing mood, dictated this statement:
"Tll do all l can to help hurry for
ward the suit.
81 regard the action of Mr.. Barnes
as the most striking proof that could
be given that the bosses recognize in
me personally the one enemy that the
type Of machine government for which
they stand has to fear, and further
more recognize that the most danger
Gus menace to the present system OF
bipartisan politics in this state is con
tanned in the movement to elect Mr.
Hinman as governor on a non-partisan
ticket, which / hope will contain the
names of such anti-machine Democrats
as Mr.. Hennessy, as well as Progress
sives and anti-machine Republicans.
"I shall continue with increased ag. /
to attack Messrs. Barnes
and Murphy and the kind Of machine
politics which they typify which
hold must be eliminated from the
state"

Shot Policeman Dead.

Thomas Rogan, policeman, OF Bur
lington, N. j.. was shot and instantly
killed by bulelt from a revolver free
by Winfield Templeton.
Whether the shooting was inten
tional or accidental has not been as
certained. Two stories are current
One is that Templeton fired at Rcgan,
mistaking him for a burglar.
The other is that Templeton, follow
ing a quarrel with his wife, fired at
her, but missed, the bullet striking
the policeman. Rogan was $50 feet
distant.

Wilson WIthdraws Jones, Name.

President Wilson withdrew the nom
ination Of Thomas P. Jones, Of Chica-
go, to be governor of the federal re-
serve board.
The president found that it was i'm
possible to have Mr.. Jones confirmed
by the senate, although the greatest
possible pressure had been exerted by
the administration.
In Withdrawing Mr.. Jones' name the
president made public correspondence
with Mr.. Jones showing that on Mon
day Mr.. Jones himself asked that his
name be withdrawn.

shnota Woman; cuts Throat.

Angered by his discharge after three
years OF service, Happy" Dooley a
farm hand, forty years old, shot Mrs
Roy Martin, the wife of his employer
on her farm near Coatesville, Pa IN
an effort to "get even."
Five hours later, when overtaken
and surrounded in a strip Of fores;
in the Black Horse hills, three miles
from the Martin home, he shot him
self twice in the head and then cut his
throat with a pocketlnife. He died
in the Coatesville hospital.
The attack upon Mrs. Martin, who
is twenty-eight years old, was made
while her husband was absent and
she was alone on the farm.
DooIey blamed Mrs. Martin for his
dismissal and told Martin when he
left the farm 6n Tuesday that he
would be revenged. The woman nao

FRANCIS FERDINAND.
AND AFTER.

II is not clear just how large a
part Archduke Francis Ferdinand of
austria played in the larger affairs
Il his country during the last
Gecade; but it is certain that his
powerful personality and personal
popularity strongly re-enforced the
aged Emperor in all efforts to main
tain the dual monarchy as a first
class power.
Moreover, the archduke was the
close friend of Kaiser Wilhelm, and
their intimacy was one Of the strong
bonds uniting Germany and Austria.
On the other hand, Ferdinand cor
Gially disliked Italy, and never be-
lieved the inclusion Of Italy in the
alliance of the three powers was
logical or sound politics. He knew
that Italy was inevitably the enemy
Of Austria because of their conflict
ing interests in the Adriatic. He
knew that alliance between France
and Italy was far more natural, es-
pecially in view of the fact that Italy
had been strongly disposed TO unite
forces with France in the Franco
German war. In short, Ferdinand
doubted, as most students of later
European history have doubted,

THE CRISIS AT HAND.

II may be weeks, or days, or only
hours, now, until the inevitable
crash comes in the City Of Mexico.
Will it come with q terror, a slaugh-
ter, battle of the streets, perhaps
& period of plague and starvation /?
Or will it come rs that sort of an
,nevitable ought to come, with all
sides recognizing that what must be
will be, and therefore that the hu-
Tlanities are entitled to first con-
liberation?
For near a year, now, the world
has realized that this impending end
as inevitable. If the forces of civ
'Ization are not strong enough, md
IS influences far-reaching and i'm
nressive enough, to have found a
Plan, within that year, to avoid a
medisval horror when the end comes,
hen it will be worth while to in
ruire the reason.
But of course civilization will prove
'tsef quite unequal to the emer-
rcncy. If the emergency arises, civ
Iization will take to the tall timber.
II took to the timber throughout the
,wu fearful catacly3ms in the Bal
ans, and it is still sticking there

ng butchered. 1t is standing around

LEGISLATIVE ADVICE.

The Massachusetts, legislature is
reorganizing the sanitary code of
that State, with a view to making
it more effective for the protection
of the public health. Massachusetts,
has commonly stood near the head
of the list Of States, for progress
sivencss and intelligence III social
legislation of this kind; but the
measure that is now proposed to be
enacted would seemingly be long
backward step.
1t would be a good enough law
save for the fact mat tile penalty
clause has been stricken out. Regu-
iations may be made and REQUIRE
ments prescribed; bot unless the ad-
lninistrative authority has power
very real power-to inspire violators
with a proper respect for the law, 1t
is certain to be useless.
There's no use having legislatures
give good advice to the public. The
newspapers, the womer's clubs, the
doctors, everybody's neighbors, the
whole community, a,e in the busi-
ness of riving advice. Legislation
wants to be advice with the bark on;
counsel with teeth in it. There must
lie penalties or there will be no en-
forcement.
One of the dangers in enacting
legislation that cannot be enforced
lies in the fact that when the public
learns that a particular law is i'm
potent, it is apt t" acquire contempt
for other laws. None should be
passed that doesn't mean what it
says, and provide penalties for its
infraction.

CONGRESSMAN ROBERTS

Congressman Roberts of Nevada
spires to fame as the humorist OF
the House. He has introduced a
string of the funniest little measures
cver heard of; the latest being a pro-
\ sion that the hall of the House
snail be, on one day each week, at
the disposal of the Chautauqua lee
tIrers in Congress.
We don't mind tipping to Mr.. Rob
orts that if he knew just the quality
If laughter his humcr inspired, he
would probably get serious. He
oughtn't to covet all the glory, any
how. Being the father-in-law of
Walter Johnson might reasonably
satisfy one man.
Why wouldn't it be good idea for
Walter to take on the Congressional
duties of father-in-law on the days
when he isn't pitching? There is
ircreasing impression, among people
who have been unable to escape the
devastation of father-in-law's hu-
nor, that it would considerably raise
the standard of Nevada's represen-
Ja.ion in the House.

THE SALEM APPROPRIA-
TON.

President Wilson having asked
Congress to appropriate s2Oo,GUO for
immediate relief to the suffering peo-
pie of Salem, the House Appropria-
tions Committee has reported unfa-
vorably the bill to provide the money.
1t wouldn't ordinarily make any
difference whether the President 5
recommendation was accepted or re-
jected, in such a small affair, by the
committee. But in this instance it
seems as if the Democrats of the
committee-all OF those voting
against the appropriation were DEM
ocrats-had gone decidedly out of
their way to be economical.
Just a few days ago, against the
protests, the warnings, and the damn
ing proofs that were brought for
ward by Congressman Frc1r, the
House passed a river and harbor
bill that carries or authorizes ex-
penditures of about S93,GO0,000.
Something more than half Of that
money is just plain waste; pork
passed around district by district in
order that members nay nc able to
claim that they have "dore some
thing for the district"
Most of the remainder is Federal
money spent to improve harbors in
which the wharfage is owned by cor
porations. or By the cities and leased,
for the city's profit, 10 corporations.
A fine bunch is given to pay for
"river improvements" that in truth
simply amount to the reclamation of
land owned by individuals and cor
porations; the Government does the
rcclaiming, the private interests get
the profits from it.
Yet that bill, looking to the ulti-
mate expenditure of almost $780,
OOO,OOO, got through the House with
ease and alacrity, while Saiem's lit
tie 100000 was killed in the name
of economy.
Doubtless this is all right. Gen.

whether the triple alliance could hold
together through a real continental
conflict.
1t was the Kaiser who in the
main mediated between Vienna and
Rome and kept the rope-of-sand al
lance together. His influence with
Frederick enabled him to accomplish
this. But Frederick is new gone.
The aged Emperor will not live long.
Frederick was the hope of the i'm
mediate future for maintaining The
military and naval power of Austria
Hungary. He was able to keep down
the ever-embroiling controversies be-
tween the antagonistic elements and
races that make up the empire of the
Hapsburgs. When he is gone, can
the lid be kept on indefinitely? The
Slavic part of the monarchy is
strongly drawn toward the peoples
Of its own race in Balkania. 1t has
seemed a military necessity to uni
fly the language of the country,
throughout the public schools and the
military establishment, because a
common language is absolutely es-
sential to the efficacy of a great
army; yet the effort to do this has
introduced dissension in army, navy,
and politics. No people willingly
gives up its language: especially no
people that, like the Slavic elements
in Austria Hungary, feels that it is
held in something like subjugation.
Germany, fearing the disintegra-
ton of Austria, is redoubling the
struggle to maintain its own military
and naval forces at the highest point
of strength and efficiency, lest with
its allies weakened it may have to
confront Europe in arms. If conflict
there must be, the sooner the better
for Germany; hence the grave men
ace of the present situation to the
peace of Europe.

FOR MORE BEEF.

The announcement that the Cudahy
interests have decided to spend a
million dollars on ranch to breed
cattle for their packing houses is
encouraging for the reason that the
packers example may send some of
the Western ranch owners back to
cattle raising.
Whatever sins the Beef trust may
have committeeman at one time
they surely were many and varied
there is no doubt that the high price
Of meat in recent years has been due
in part to the unwiiiingness Of the
West to breed and fatten cattle.
The East and Europe were calling
for the grain the farmers raised and
paying their own price for it. So,
why should they bother with live
stock, which had to be sold at the
trusts price? That was their nat
ural, if selfish, way Of figuring. In
consequence there has been less meat
than the market.needed and higher
prices than the people could pay.
The prophets declared that cattle
raising would not return TO its for
mer greatness until there was an
overproduction of grain. Perhaps
that day is in sight. The record
crops of this summer may indicate
it. At any rate, if there is money in
cattle raising for the Cudahys there
is money in it for more individual
ranchers than are now engaged in
feeding steers.
A million dollars is a mere drop in
such an industry and does not argue
that the packers are trying to corner
the business of ranching. The more
likely reason for the packers going
into the game is that they must have
more meat or lose their trade.
