QUARREL ENDS IN
FATAL SHOOTING
SALOONKEEPER KILLS BAR
TENDER IN DANCE HALL ON
MAIN STREET

Jealousy over the affections of Ed
ma Curran, employed in a dance hall,
is believed to have been responsible
for a quarrel which terminated in
the fatal shooting at 1 o'clock this
morning in Hennessy's dance hall of
Joseph McAvoy. a bartender, about
thirty years old, by John Rocker,
proprietor of the Bodega saloon on
Fifth avenue, about twenty-five years
old. With a As calibre revolver
Rocker fired once, the bullet killing
McAvoy almost instantly.
Rocker made no attempt to escape
and surrendered himself to Deputy
Sheriff Shirley upon his arrival upon
the scene a few minutes after the
killing. An inquest will be con-
Quoted at 5 O'Clock this afternoon at
the courthouse by Justice of the
Peace A. E. Barnes, ex-officio coro-
ner, to ascertain the circumstances
attending the tragedy. Attorney
Milton M. Detch will appear as coun-
SCl " ltoShCh a. thC
According to the best information
obtainable McAvoy, upon returning
to Goldfield several weeks ago after
an absence of a month on a visit to
Kansas, discovered that he had been
superseded in the affections of the
Curran Oma by Rocker. 1t is
said that McAvoy administered a Sc
we're beating to the mi late Mon
day afternoon. AT any rate, Rocker
appeared before Justice Barnes Mon
day evening and made a complaint
against McAvoy, claiming that he
had beaten the woman When
questioned as to his interest in the
matter, Rocker denied that he had
any other than that he thought Nc
Avoy should be punished for i~ll-treat-
ing the woman. Justice Barnes in
formed Rocker that if McAvoy was
guilty of the alleged offense he
should be arrested and advised
Rocker to lay the matter before the
attaches of the sheriff's office. JUS
tice Barnes further explained to
Rocker that 1t would be advisable, II
possible, to have the woman in the
case personally make a complaint.
Deputy Sheriff Bogard made a futile
search for the woman but found Nc
Avoy, who denied having beaten the
woman.
1t appears that yesterday after
noon a stone was thrown through
one of the windows of the Bodega
saloon. Greatly angered, Rocker
went to the dance hall last night and
found McAvoy. who denied having
broken the window, beyond which
fact nothing is known as to the con-
%versation that passed between the
two men until Rocker started to
leave the place. McAvoy, it is said,
called to Rocker saying: Come here
l want to see you" Without max
ing a reply Rocker, it is said, pulled
out his revolver and shot McAvOy.

CIVIL AUTHORITIES
HAVE THEIR TRIALS

EPERNAY, France, Oct. Is (cor-
respondence of the Associated
Press). = Some idea of the trials
and troubles of the civil authorities
while a town is in the possession of
an invading army s given by the
mayor, Maurice Pol Rogel, of this
city, which was in the hands of the
Germans for a week.
When the Germans entered the
town late in the afternoon the mayor
was summoned before the COM
mandant, General Won P~lettenberg.
This first interview, according to the
mayor, was marked by courtesy on
both sides, but that evening the
mayor received a violently worded
protest from the general, who COM
planned that the water, gas and cleo
trio supply had been cut off. The
mayor was told that If these were
not restored al once he would be
hanged. This arose because the
inhabitants leaving their homes had
shut off the gas, water and electric
ity. The mayor gave the necessary
OTutTS " nave Iii SCI WIGS lOStOICu,
but with other town officials he was
arrested and held in the town hall
as a hostage, and when a fire broke
out that night the general sent word
that if a second outbreak occurred
he would have the mayor shot.
The next day a food requisition
was made and when it was not rails
ed in time the town was fined 176,-
$50 francs. Then to add to his
troubles the mayor was summoned
to explain the shooting of a German
soldier, who had been wounded in
when the towns chief executive de-
clared that the accident took place
on a different street from that given
in the German report, he was ac-
cused of having concealed the fact
that a second German had been
wounded and made way with. After
this incident was cleared the mayor
was taken before a group of Ger
man officers, including Prince Adel-
bert, son of the German emperor,
and accused of having replaced the
German flag on the station with a
French tri-color. When threatened
with a heavy war indemnity on the
town because of this incident the
mayor protested that the railway
station was private property and
therefore the town had nothing TO
do with any flag that might have
been placed there. The mayor was
then ordered to make a German flag
and unfurl it from the town hall.
He was told that If this flag was
touched he would be shot and the
town burned and looted. The
mayor manufactured a German flag
by using part of a French flag for
the white and blue, and the black
apron of the town hall housekeeper
for the black stripe. The flag evil

who stated that they did so out OF
gratitude for the kindly manne in
which their wounded had been
treated.

GERMAN DISCIPLINE
APPLAUOED BY FRENCH

ROME, Oct. Is Correspondence
of the Associated Press). - Recogni-
ton is given German discipline by
Luigi-Barzini, wal correspondent
WITH the French in the Roman Corri-
ere Della Sera, in a recent article on
the fighting about Chambry.
along the road of Chambry a
story of a combat of man against
man was told by the dead" wrote
Mr.. Barzini. "a troop OF Germans
who had been left behind to guard
the rear had taken cover in TIE
ditch along the road, from where
they had replied to the fire of the
enemy.
THE Germans offered resistance
to the very last = the last dead
Frenchman lay three meters from
the ditch. Then the storm passed
over them and killed the last one,
Stabbed through and thrvuga with
the bayonet, the German soldiers lay
against the embankment In a row
Bent bayonets and broken rifles
spoke of the violence of the des-
perate struggle.
"The first in the % was the SER
geant. who had left part of the
small force. 1t seemed that eve in
death he still uttered commands.
Another group of dead lay about
the body of the officer who had been
in command. The similarity of ex-
preston on the faces of the dead
was striking. Only the uniform
told the private from the officer,
There was a sort of fraternity among
them all. even in death.
'The dead Germans still had
their knapsacks on their backs, were
splendidly dressed, and appeared to
be ready for parade"

HIS MOTHER

He hadn't time, when the days were
fair
And others were giving him praise,
To think of her with the whitened
And her homely old-fashioned
ways;
He hadn't time to remember how
She taught him his childhood
prayers,
And smoothed the lines from his
troubled brow
When he fretted with boyish cares.
He hadn't the time when the fair
winds blew,
And his dreams were of proud sue
When his hopes were high and his
sorrows few,
To think of her loneliness;
But he found the time in the later
days
To wish that he might forget,
And to feel, while he listened to
empty praise,
The ache of vain regret

CHARLIE HAS
BECOME CARELESS

The Star regrets to say it has
caught its friend, Charlie Jones, in
the. act of contradicting himself.
In his letter published elsewhere,
Charlie says: 4 have never charged
that Senator Fletcher was a party to
this registering negroes to vote in
the white primary. In fact, | am
sure he was not
In its editorial article which start
ed the discussion, Dixie said:
Pleasant A. Holt is qualifying ne
groes to vote in the primary.
Mr.. Holt is known as Duncan u.
| Fletcher's most active lieutenant"
In a letter to the Star, published a
few days ago, Mr. Jones said:
'tMr. Holt in his letter to the Star
says: L am not connected with Mr..
Fletcher's campaign in any sense.
Then pray whose campaign is Mr..
Holt connected with? He tells the
Star that he is sending out hundreds
of letters urging registration at once
and this registration is purely for
the coming primary in June"
If Mr.. Jones did not intend to try
to connect Hollis alleged activity
with Senator Fletcher's campaign,
why did he try to raise statewide
| disturbance about it? Why did he
call on papers all over the state to
expose and denounce Holt? If it is
only local trouble in Duval county
why ask democrats from Pensacola
to Miami to take a hand.
| Mr.. Jones, of course, can claim he
didn't write the editorial, and that
he hasn't directly charged Senator
i Fletcher with being a party to reg
istering and trying to induce negroes
to vote for him: but he charged il
by inference; there was no other in
ference 20 be drawn from what he
wrote, and no other impression was
. created. He has tied himself in q
knot, and the only fair thing for him
to do is to acknowledge that he has
made a mistake and done Senator
: Fletcher a wrong; that he corrects
the one and apologies for the other
| The Star should not have com
mented on the action of the Jack
sonville city council if the said &C
ton had not had a bearing on the
, senatorial campaign. And it doesn'
; think that either the said council
Dixie or Mr.. Stockton are such mag
nolia blossoms as to have suffered
thing it has said about them.

GOT GASPARILLA'S GOAT

John Simpson in Tampa Tribune)
Jose Gasparilla plowed the waves in
the Gulf of Mexico,
With a bloody band OF, bold bucca-
neers, in the happy long ago,
And he sure pulled off some terrible
stunts with his CORY and dar-
ing krewe
And they had more cash than the As
tor bunch, if the legends we
hear are true
They would scuttle ship on the roll
ing sea and truss pthe whole
blamed bunch,
And if the skipper should offer a kick,
they would hand him an awful
punch,
Then Gasparilla would go below,
where the treasure is always
stored,
And grab up the boxes and bags of
gold, and, AWAY with the
whole blamed hoard
Away. to the island he called his
home, where he kept all his
loving wives,
And his cows and things and his ars-
email and his guns and his but
cher knives
And there he would feast, like the
veriest king, with his bunch
of pirates gay,
Till their hides were stuffed with the
joys of life, then back to old
Tampa Bay.
Back, back, to the only thing they
knew, to the life that made
them fat,
Till the folks in the United States
got sore, and we amt sur
prised at that,
And your Uncle Sam at Washington
just rugged out little boat,
They brought him right into old Tam
patown, trussed up like a hol-
iday fowl,
And the folks were so happy to see
him that they set up an aw-
full howl
They trimmed off his ears and his
flowing beard and they buckle
ed his hands and feet,
And they swung him from grim
yardarm at the foot of Frank
lin street.
