BISHOP SHOT By
DEMENTED PRIEST
Two Bullets Enter Body Of
WouId-Be S|ay-
er Had Been Refused
Appointment.

Winona. Mimi. Aug. 2s.-Right Rev.
Patrick X. Heffron, bishop of the
Winona diocese, was shot this morning
in his library at Terrace Heights. by
Rev. Father Al. Lesches. a demented
priest. who had been spending the past
week at st. Mary's college diocesan
headquarters here, seeking an appoint
ment, which Bishop Heffron had re-
fused to give him.
The priest entered the library as the
bishop was reading, and without warn
ing, drew a revolver and shot twice at
the bishop. One bullet took effect in
the right side Of the chest. The other
wound was a flesh wound in the hip.
The attending physicians, although adj
hitting the chest wound is serious. feel
hopeful for the bishops recovery, If
complications do not set in.
After the shooting Father Lesches
returned to his room in st. Mary's coll
lege and locked himself in. He was ar
rested later by Sheriff Barr and Chief
Of Police Huck. who forced an entrance.
The wouldbe murderer was locked up
in the Winona county jail.
He is 46 years old. OF French birth,
and came to this country in 1893.

BRITAIN
IN MURDER PROBE
Police Still In Dark as to Mo.
tive of Murder of German
Preacher and Propa-
gandist In Gary.

Gary. Ind. Aug. 2S.-One man was
under arrest and several were detained
for examination by the police today in
an effort to apprehend the murderers Of
Rev. Edmund Kayser, who was slain
in his home last Tuesday night. The
names of the men were withheld, and
Chief of Police Heinz refused to dis
close the nature of the evidence against
them. He admitted today that he had
not discovered whether the clergyman
was killed because of his pro-German
utterances or for other acts which
brought him the enmity of some of his
neighbors.
Elmer Leroy, an Englishman, who is
said to have denounced Kayser in his
church some weeks ago, was taken into
custody. but later released. A trunk,
which it was thought might contain
proof of a plot to assassinate the min
lister. was taken in charge by the po-
lice.
Further efforts were made today to
discover to what extent letters Kayser
is said to have written to German Of
ficials could nave influenced partisans
of the allies against him.

little republic for 10 years. In the mean
time, the American marines will con-
tinue to occupy the principal cities OF
the island to prevent a recurrence Of
anarchy.
Charles Davis. of the American lega-
ton at Port au Prince, had asked that
the treaty draft be offered not later than
tonight when parliament Is scheduled

against limiting their debate and, when
they arranged to extend the session of
parliament to September II he did NOT
press for immediate action.

London. Aug. 2S.-Reports from the

state that $4,000 miners already have
joined the new strike.
The recurrence of labor troubles is
due to growing dissatisfaction with tho
award of Walter Runciman. president
of the board of trade. who acted as
arbitrator in the recent strike. The sit
golfers learned that Mr.. Runciman had
declined to see q deputation represent

The miners charge Mr.. Runciman
with going behind the arrangement
made by David-Lloyd George and de-
mand that Mr.. Lloyd-George make
good his promises to them.
Dispatches from Cardiff. at the time
the strike was settled. last month, said
that the terms accepted by the miners,
as a result Of Mr.. Lloyd Georges trip
to Wales. provided for a substantial in

to the strikers. which were considered
by them as tantamount to ar admis-
sion of their claims on nearly all the
outstanding points.
not only by promising concessions, but
by emphasizing the fact that uninter-

Mr.. Runciman's award contained

war because it was ,sunprepared. In
fact the unprepared nations have

CONVICT LABOR ON ROdDS.

State Highway Engineer Cooley, as
has already been stated in
these columns, appears to favor the
employment of the inmates of our
penal institutions in road making
in this state. The Union entertains
the highest respect for Mr.. Cooley's
opinion on all matters pertaining
to road-inprovement, but we cannot
agree with him in his advocacy of
the employment of convict labor on
the roads.

conditions under which convict labor
is employed in road-making in Col

But we are decidedly of the opin-

Der of the inmates of the ST.. Cloud
reformatory can be utilized to good
advantage in preparing road ma
terial-crushed granite and paving
blocks. Under present conditions
the reformatory cannot begin to sup
ply the demand for crushed rock
alone, and there is no better road
surfacing material in the world
than crushed granite.
A rightly constructed road properly
surfaced with crushed granite can
be maintained in good condition at a
trifing expense for an indefinite
period.

The Northern Minnesota confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church did the right thing when it
adopted resolutions repudiating the
entire business of swine of Cardui.'
which is nostrum manufactured by
a company Of which John A. Patten,
who is prominent in the Methodist
church, is president. In the Journal
of the American Medical association
appeared an article in which it was
charged that Wine of Cardui con-
tanned 20 per cent alcohol, that it
belonged to what is known as the
':bracer'' class of nostrums, and that
the advertising for this medicine
was 'dirty, vicious and fraudulent. I"
The article also asked if the church
was in need of tainted dollars fraud
ulently obtained from sickly women,
who innocently purchase disguised
tipple, and if not, why had the
church bestowed some of it's highest
honors and dignities on man who
makes his money in such business.
All of this has been more than en-
barrassing to the church, and it was
indeed time that official action be
taken repudiating the entire bust
ness. That Patten is a hypocrite
possessed of colossal inIpudence, is
evidenced by the fact that he has
been a member of the temperance
committee of the NJ. e. church, and
has ever been a liberal contributor
to the AntiSaloon league. The
sincerity of temperance advocate
engaged in the manufacture of a
'disguised tipp1e" is naturally SUBJ
ject to doubt. The temperance move
ment has for years been hampered
| because men like Patten have been
allowed to lead the fight.
