ment, which had its aftermath in the
killing, arose.
Majors told the sheriff and deputies
that he was fleeing from Harrison,
who had, he claimed, worked himself
into high temper, and that when he
(Majors) reached the rear gate or
door Of the Harrison place, Harrison
had then fired a couple of shots at
the fleeing man. Majors further
stated, it was said, that it was not
until then that he decided to use his
own gun, and fired three shots, each
Of them going true, and, it was said,
either of them being so serious as to
probably have caused death.
Sheriff Ellis and deputies on the
scene at once made search for wea-
pons. The gun fired by Harrison was
found to have two chambers discharg-
ed, the others being loaded. The gun
taken from Majors had been fired
three times, thus showing that each
of the bullets had a deadly aim. An
other weapon was found, with sew
eral chambers discharged, and the
sheriff was told that son of Harri-
son, soon after the killing of his
father, had used this gun to shoot
several times. The young man, it
further alleged, grew disorderly, or
grew half-frantic, when the situation
was plain to him, and seemed to be
reckless in the shooting.
CONFLICTING STORIES.
The stories which were heard rela-
tive to what led up to the rather de-
plorable tragedy, were many, as stat
ed. One had it that Harrison had sent
for Majors and had taken up with
him some domestic matters. They had
married sisters, the Cornells, who for
some time had resided near Oakfeld.
Mrs. Majors preceded her husband to
the Harrison home, and when Harrf
son sent for Majors, it was stated,
Mrs. Majors, evidently seeing that
Harrison was enraged, objected to
the message going to her husband
who was on duty up to that time at
the factory. Harrison resented this
interference, It was stated, and struck
the Majors woman. Several witnesses
informed ofieers Of the occurrence.
About that time, it was learned, Ma
iors showed up and personally learn
ed Of the attack on his wife. just
whether this caused him to lose his
temper remains to be later developed
but he went into where Harrison was
in the house, and the dispute was soon
going along lively.
It suddenly led up to the shooting
for about all witnesses were agreed
that Harrison had fired the first shot
and that Majors was trying to gel
away when under fire. He was be.
ing fired on, it was told by those WHIT

BERLIN SAYS MORE
CORRESPONDENCE is FOUND

Berlin, Aug. 9.-Another Install
ment of what purports to be secret
Belgian diplomatic reports which the
Germans found in Brussels was made
public today through the Overseas
News Agency This installnent COM
prises comment attributed to various
Belgian ministers which the Germans
claim show Great Britain, France and
Italy were working against Germany
as far back as 1908.
REJECT GERMANY'S OFFER.
Russia having rejected what in
England is regarded as bona fide
proposal for peace made by the Ger
man emperor, with part of Poland
traded for Galicia, the great struggle
in the East must continue and as
there is no indication of an immediate
general offensive in the West, the
struggle Of the Russian forces to
shake themselves free of the Austro-
German grip remains the chief factor
in the war news.
The operations in the Dardanelles
will be closely watched because of
their possible bearing upon the Bal
kan situation, again sin1mering by
reason of renewed quadruple entente
pressure on Bulgaria and Greece.
Never before has the Importance of
these operations been more keenIy
realized in Great Britain and France

the shooting with his own deadly aim.
Physicians were hurriedly sent to
the scene, and q telephone message
was received at the county Jail from
some unknown informant before the
shooting was three minutes old. The
sheriff was at the jail then, and
made good speed going there. Ma
jors was found in an clubhouse in the
back yard, where, he told the sheriff
he was waiting. He said he was not
going to try and escape, as he thought
that what he did was in the lawful
protection of his life, and thought he
was acting just like anybody else
would have acted under similar cir
cumstances.
Both men have families, and Mrs.
Harrison was in a delicate condition
last night. They have lived near to
one another for a long time, and this
is their first outbreak.
Harrison's body, released by the
coroner, was brought to local un-
dertaker's shop last night and made

Chef. JEFF. Spottswood, who pre-
sides at the festal board at the po-

hoped to regain some of his failing
health. His friends are exacting q
promise from him to bring back some

tie the factions strife expressed dis
appointment.
It was said by Carranza agents that
neither diplomat had been on good
terms with Carranza and that it had
been Carranza's intention to hand the
Brazilian his passports as soon as he
reoccupied Mexico City. The partiei-
patton of Brazil and Guatemala IN the
conference, they said brought Carran-
za's resentment to a climax. II was
recalled that Carlos, the dictator of
Venzuela took much action when Of
Tended by foreign nations pressing
for settlement Of affairs in his coun-
try.
State department advices TODAY said
General Carranza was making hur-
ried preparations to move his capital
from Vera Cruz to Mexico City. The
impression in Mexican circles here is
that Carranza proposes to establish
himself in Mexico City and probably
claim himself prepared.
Secretary Lansing announced today
that the Pan-American conference
would be resumed in New City We'd
nesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
Biltimore hotel.
Mr.. Lansing said he was consider
ing American representation in Mex
leo City but did not know what would
be done. He assumed, however, that
American diplomatic affairs would be
in a "sort of state of quiescence in
Mexico" The reason for the Brazilian
minister's visit to the United States
at this time, the secretary said were
unknown to him.
After a conference with Secretary
Lansing Rear Admiral Benson cabled
Commander McNamee to have a
naval vessel at the disposal of the
Brazilian minister when he arrives at
Vera Cruz.
CARRANZA ACTED HASTILY.
Charles A. Douglas, counsel for
Carranza here said he did not believe
the general contemplated giving the
Brazilian minister his passports.
Regardless of personal difficulties
that may exist between General Car
rama and the Brazilian minister
said Mr.. Douglas, ''the necessity OF
maintaining friendly relations with
the government Of Brazil and the
government of the United States, par
ticularly the latter, would preclude
any over action toward Mr.. Cordosa.
Other representatives of General
Carranza here, however, had no hest
fancy in saying the Brazilian minister
was particularly distasteful to Gen,
eral Carranza.
General Carranza is preparing al
address for the American people. Il
is said that it would be in the nature
of appeal for consideration to which
believes he is entitled and settins
forth in an elaborate way the claim;
upon which he bases his claim fol
recognition.

Belasco.

An audience that testified in every
way to the confidence and esteem in
which David Belasco and David War
field are held awaited the rise of the
curtain at the Belasco Theater last
might. At the outset the reminder was
offered that the occasion was not to
be one of studied Difference to prece
dent. The curtain was neither plush
nor picture. 1t was tattered ana
patched sail, which lifted to reveal the
scene with no orchestral prelude. The
sail curtain was the first of a series
of devices boldly yet happily employed
to impresss the imagination, almost
subconsciously, and create that element
of stage effect which for want of a
more precise term is known as at
mosphere.
David Warfield in Van der Decken,
a Legend of the Sea" was the an
ment which invited popular attention
to the theatcr as to constitute a record.
The first scene showed the interior of
the Three Gulls, where Marie Bates, as
the autocratic landlady, exercises be-
nevolent despotism III subduing the
quarrels which arise over different
versions of the Flying Dutchman. From
the outset the conversation is distin- :
Suished by direct simplicity of die
tion that seeks no place or the library
shelves. The opening picture is as ir-
resistible in its appeal to the sense OF
beauty as a canvass i'll gallery or
art trcasurers. The picture is vitalized
by the forces of pature as well as hu-
man emotion. a storm scene, in which
