FRACTURES SKULL.
Both Men Had Been at Variance With
Each other For Some Time-Viciim
Had Been Drinking.

Washington, May 26.-Struck
! down by plow share welded by
George f Mills, on the perch of
Maynard Hoyle's store at Derwood,
near Rockville, Nd, last night, Ed
ward Lowe, thirty-five years old and
unmarried, died of crushed skull
Before medical attention could reach
him.
Mills is under arrest at Rockville,
and Sheriff Payton Whales is max
irg rigid investigation of the af-
fair today. There were witnesses
to the fight and death Of Lowe, and
no inquest will be held.
Lowe and Mills,both residents of
Derwood, had been on the outs for
three years. They had not been
speaking and it was generally recog-
nized by the community, it is said,
that there was bad blood between
them.
The men had avoided each other
for years. Last night they met ap-
parently by accident. Lowe, it is
alleged, had been drinking. Mills
was sitting on the porch of the store,
the general meeting place, at $50
O'Clock, when Lowe came up and
stagtetl in the store, apparently to
make purchase. They met and
words passed.
Mills says that Lowe attacked him
with the spoke from ar automobile.
3wheel. and that he struck back in
e,f-deferse. A witness gives an
sOther version. He states that Mills
first struck Lowe with the plowshare
and then with the auto spoke.
The witness states that immedi-
lately after the fight. when Lowe was
stretched out unconscious, or nearly
i'so, that Mills bent over him and
! bathed his face with cold water and
summoned medical assistance. Lowe
died of crushed skull within ten
!.minutes, however.

NOT met her in Atlantic City. He
hadn't, but she APPARENTLY was will
ling to give him an opportunity, for
she agreed to be at the Hotel Astor

The friendship was formed over a
cup of tea at the Astor next day, ac-
cording to Miss Sullivan. She said
he told her, between sips of tea, she
was a very pretty girl and passed
FIVE 500 bills across the table.
Then, according to the witness,

left him sS,OOO,0O0 and that he want
cd to marry her.
"He told me-" the witness said,
"that il would not be illegitimate Tor
him to support me although not mar
ried to me. He went out and bought
mo $4,000 worth of furniture, which
was placed IN an apartment on Sew

one of the most dangerous things =
man could do.
Mr. Hamilton said his client had
submitted to demands for money on
al, sides until he could not do It any
LONGER and then suit was brought,
Hoe denied that he had ever prom
ised TO marry the girl and Said she

Preliminary Discussion So Far.

Washington, May 26.-The consti-
tutio1,ahsts, through their leaders,
Carranza and Villa, are prepared to
accept, in principle, settlement of
Mexican affairs along the lines de-
sired by the United States.
They hope that the Niagara con-
ference will be productive of good
results, and they urge an early con-
clusion.
This is the essence of important
code dispatches received by the State
Department today from General
Carranza and General Villa They
were sent from Ell Paso, Texas, by
George Carrothers, special represen-
tative Of the State Department. They
express the exact position of the
constitutionalist toward the Niagara
Fails peace conference.
These dispatches were placed in
the hands of Secretary of State
Bryan this morning, and they are to
receive careful consideration from
the Cabinet today. 1t is understood
that they will be carefully canvas
sed by the President and his official
advisers.
While details are withheld, and
no official announcements has been
made, it is known that both CarranZa
and Villa expressed their hope that
tine Niagara Fails conference VIII be
productive of happy results. :e-@,.'
They are said to have agreed to
consider carefully all the recomn,en-
dations of the mediators and TO ac-
scept, for themselves and their fol-
lowers, at least the principles of any
settlement agreement which ellml-
mates Huerta and re-establishes con-
stitutional government.
Villa has, sent word, it is under

APPEAL TO COUNCIL.
Five Thousand Dollars Expected From
City's Representatives at Meeting
Tonight-Additions Today.

Only four days remain for the nos
pital campaign and all the good people
who have been hoA;fng back their
subscriptions, waiting for others to do
: their part, should aecolect that it is
almost as bad to hold BACK. as it is to
be too previous. Every large sub
! scription that can be added to the list
at once will materially aid in secur-
ing others and each small subscription
will make those who are unable to
give big sums feel like joining the
! large crowd who have out Of their
| limited means contributed toward the
hospital, which in the aggregate has
amounted to many thousand dollars.
/ The City Council tonight will be
calles' upon to act on the equest of
the Hospital Executive Committee to
appropriate five tnousana dollars.
even If the sum be paid out of one
or more annual levies. The attention
OF the members of Council is direct
ed to the fact that even if the entire
amount was paid out OF one years
levy it would simply be a tax of less
than thirty cents for each citizen and
! if divided into two or three years the
annual amount per capita would be
only ten or fifteen cents.
When it is recollected that out of
the G2O pat:eglts cared Cor in the hos
pitai last year that nearly one-third
; of the number were treatea without
cost to themselves or the city Except
for the small contribution ma5e by the
city to the hospita!) and that the av-
erage cost Of each patient per day
! was only $1.GS. it will be seen by
accurate calculation that to make this
contribution to the hospital would not
fean anything like as much as the ac-
! tual cost of caring for these patients.
which if there was no hospital, the
city would be compelled to provide
for If there were no hospital in the
/ City Of Alexardri2, the municipality
would necessarily have to provide not
only room, but the necessary outfit,
; physicians and nurses to care for
! charity patients.
! When these things ere considered
! the request Of the executive committee
for an appropriation of five thousand
! dollars towar3 the hospital furl1 is
! certainly not an eXtravagant request.
1t is hoped that the railroads and
the employees of the different fac
| tories of the city will make up their
lists of subscriptions and send them in
before the end Of the week. =.
Among the contributions received
this morning was one from Emman-
uel Chapel Sunday School of AleXan-
dria county. amounting to $500.

A Great Land Deal.

When william II. Seward bought
Alaska for us In 1867 for Si,2OO,OOO,
the newspapers that passed judgment
on everything declared In shrill black
face that Seward was stung. One
man tried to introduce bill In con.
gress providing for an investigation
as to low much commission Seward
received from Russia for bringing
about the deal. Several newspapers
openly declared that Seward was Ger.
tainly working both ends against the
middle and was getting rich by cult.
waiting the expense. account.
We now realize. however, that next
to the real estate deal made by Thorn
as jefferson, when he carried through
the Louisiana Purchase, Stewards pur-
chase OF Alaska stands as the greatest
land acquisition OF the century.
Alaska produced In the year 1911,
slg 900, 900 In gold.
The copper mines OF Alaska have
not been worked, but II Is believed
that the wealth OF copper " III be
found just as great as that OF gold
when the miners really get busy.
Pioneers are always looking for gold.
and what they want Is the gold on
the surface that Is easily obtainable.
Copper requires q different kind OF
mining Investment, and comes later.
Alaska has silver, tin, marble, gyp.
sum, copper and coal, none Of which
Is mined TO any extent, What Is
called conservation prevents Alaska
from making use Of her mineral re.
sources, except In a very limited way.
However. over s20O,OO0,OOO has been
sent out Of Alaska since lssO. All
but five millions Of this represents
gold.
Just at present Alaska needs coal
more than any other thing, and yet
Alaska has as much coal a. Pennsyl.
yania. To mine coal In this country
requires the services Of big business
Also, transportation facilities are
lacking individuals can neither
build railroads nor operate coal mines
THIS Is the work OF corporations
those bodies without death and minds
without decline.
IL Is earnestly hoped that congress
will devise ways, means and methods
OF allowing the vast resources OF Alas
ka to be opened up for the good oil
the world. Conservation, like every
other good thing, can be overdone.
