EIGHTH MAN SHOT
Major John Mcbride, Irish
Rebel Leader, Executed.
Led Irish Against Crown
Throughout BOer War.

Dublin, May ct was officially an
nounced today Major John Mcbride,
the eighth leader of the Sim Fein re-
bellion to suffer death. by sentence of
court martial has been shot.
Major John Mcbride fought
throughout the Boer war with the
Irish brigade under General Piel.
When the Beers finally surrendered he
made his escape and took refuge in

Death MADE SURE
George Guillou, Suicide, Uses
Both Revolver and Rope.
Found Hanging With Bullet
Hole i'm His Head.

There will be no jury inquest in
connection with the suicide of George
Gui1lou, whose body was found hang
ing in a doorway at 60312 n. Kansas
avenue at six O'Clock last night. DR.. j.
H. Rinehart, coroner, stated today that
suicide was evident and that he alone
would hold an inquest and return the
verdict.
Guillou's suicide is believed to have
been due to worry over i'll health. At
least that is the only possible reason
neighbors and friends can assign The
body was found by Sam Martin of IL 8
Curtis street and Ben Rutter, who has
a store next door to the cleaning shop
operated by Guillou- Martin had two
suits of clothes in the shop and went
after them twice Yesterday afternoon.
Being unable to get in he called Rut-
ter and the two men forced their way
in, almost coIliding with the hanging
body in the darkened room.
The suicides body was hanging by
a section of sash cord tied through the
tranSom over a door. Beside the chair
on which Guillou probably stood to
tie the rope around his neck was re-
volver. from which one shot had been
fired and in Guillou's right temple is a
bullet wound. Apparently he died
from the revolver shot.
Coroner Is Called.
Patrolman George A. Jackson was
notified of the suicide and he called
the coroner. 1t was necessary to cut
the rope in order to lower the body to
the floor
No one has recalled seeing Guillou
since Wednesday afternoon and Coro-
ner Rinehart's opinion is that the sui
eide was committed that evening or
night.
Guillou was about sixty years of age
and had been in North Topeka for
twenty years. He had few close
friends and so far as DR.. Rinehart has
been able to learn has no relatives.
Rinehart stated today that he had
heard Gillou had money deposited in
Topeka savings bank and that he
would make an investigation some
time today. Guillou never talked with
acquaintances about money matters
but it is said that he has always done
fairly good business and has lived
economically. The body was taken to
the undertaking parlors of James
Tally at 314 Kansas avenue and will
remain there until the coroner gives
the order for burial.

Paper, Says Brisbane.
Editorial Association Elects Of
ficers at Lawrence Today.

Lawrence, Kan, May editors
of country papers pay for the use of
advertising material for which they
should receive cash when they run
ready-print sections in their publica-
tions, said Arthur Brisbane. editor of
the New York Journal. in an address
to Kansas newspaper men at Law
renee Friday. Country editors should
go after foreign advertising, said Mr..
Brisbane, on the premise that the peo-
pie of their communities are reached
exclusively through their papers.
lone of the worst enemies of the
country editor is the ready-print news

the space and deadens the ambition of
the editor. The use of ready print is
the most preposterous, idiotic business
proposition in the United States"

TRAIN HIT OIL WAGON
Santa Fc Cars Scorch When Contents
Ignited in Topeka This Morning.

A Standard Oil company tank wag-
on was totally demolished and more
than 500 gallons of oil was lost when
the wagon was struck by Atchison,
Topeka s. Santa Fe train No. IL. near
Seventh and Hancock streets, shortly
after o'clock this morning.
The oil was ignited by a spark from
the engine and the pilot of the engine
and several cars were scorched con-
siderably. No one was hurt.
L. c. Rain, owner of the Capital
Shirt factory, was on Santa Fe train
No. IL when it struck the oil wagon.
at caused no little excitement on
the train,'' he said. when the first
lurch came everyone thought we were
into a wreck. Then it was discovered
that the engine had struck a tank of
oil. We looked out and saw the
flames leaping up around the sides of
the mail car. The engineer undoubt-
edly thought it wouldn't do to burn up
the mail, so he pulled up until the
flames began to lick the sides of the
coach. You should have seen the oc-
cupants scramble out of that car. One
man had a coat badly scorched- Once
more the engineer pulled up and as
the entire train pulled through that
fire the sides of the cars, Pullman
and all were burned"

SEE NOTE OF PEACE

tCoptinued from Page One.I
nounced that the official document,
dispatched by Ambassador Gerard,
does not differ from the copy pub
llshed yesterday, it is practically a
toregone conclusion that the danger
OF an Immediate break with Germany
has passed. This conclusion has the
general approval of congress- the cabi-
net and others of the presidents ad-
V1serS. From great number of tele-
grams received at the White House
during the night. it appears the coun-
try also is satisfied that Germany has
made concessions precluding the pos
sibility of break-unleSs she fails to
live up to her promise.
Germany may be said today to be
once more on probation, with time to
tell whether she deserves the chance.
according to the view here.
Lusitania Case a Lost Issue.
With the presidents decision-and
it is expected very shortly-the Lusi-
tania case will pass into history That
case was on the point of settlement
when Germany, by the March 1 order,
almost brought the two nations to the
brink of a break. The United States
practically demanded the abrogation
of the March I decree. The last OBJ
stacle will have been removed in the
Lusitania negotiations when the pres
ident approves Germany's new order
putting freighters and liners in the
same class-and subject to the rules
of search and seizure a laid down by
international law. The Luitania cae,
therefore, disappeared practically on
the first anniversary of her sinking
regarded now even in high German
circles as one of the great blunders of
the war.
Berlin Secs Peace Prospect.
Berlin. May e.-American circles
here pointed out today the Importance
of the peace feature contained in Ger
many's reply to the American note
and expressed the belief that Presi-
dent Wilson now had a great oppor-
tunity to bring the war to an early
end. Some people even suggested that
the time IS now ripe for Colonel
House to revisit European capitals.
The German reply contained the fol-
lowing reference to peace:
Conscious of Germany's strength
| twice within the last few months il
has announced before the world its
readiness to make peace on a basis
safeguarding Germany's vital interests
| thus indicating that it is not Ger
many's fault if peace is still withheld
| from the nations of Europe"

GO AFTER SOCIALIST
Reference to Killing Governors
Arousess Turmoil in House.

Washington, May 6.-Representa-
tive London, the only Socialist mem
Der of the house, threw it into turmoil
today with some remarks on the suf-
frage clause of the Porto Rican bill.
Later on objection by Mr.. Austin, Re-
publican of Tennessee, Mr.. London
Withdrew his remarks.
AS reported by the official stenog
rapher and understood by members
Mr.. London declared working people
who were disfranchised by the bill
would have the right to use revolvers,
the right to use violence and the
right to kill governors.
II wish that L could make a motion
to expel him from the house." shouted
Mr.. Austin. Democratic parliament
tarians waged a successful fight to
give Mr.. London an opportunity to
explain his words. Mr.. London pro-
tested he did not advocate violence
and insisted that he had been mis-
quoted, what he really said he de-
clared, was that disfranchised men
would be told that they had the right
to use violence.
Don't try to blame it on the
stenographer,'' Republican Leader
Mann interjected. PLENTY of mem
bers heard you"
The bill would provide that persons
not paying SO in annual taxes on the
islands shall not have the right to
vote.
