CAPTAIN SHOT THREE REBELS
IS NOW BELIEVED INSANE

thurst was extremely excited and did
not act in his usual manner. One
officer said that after the shooting he
noticed a movement in Skeffington's s
body and told the captain of it. The
latter then ordered that the squad
shoot again. Another volley was
fired into the body.
1t was testified that Captain
Bowen Colthurst told Major Rox-
burgh, who was in command of the
Porto Bello barracks, that he had
shot the men on his own RESPONSE
bility and probably would hang for it.
General Bird, the chief witness for
the defense, related how Captain
Bowen -Colthurst had disobeyed d :

Senator Borah says that at the mo-
ment Justice Hughes is leading and
present indications point to his NOM
ination. With Hughes as the nominee
and with a good progressive platform
the senator said he thought progress
i've republicans would flock to the re-
publican banner. He even thought il
possible The progressives might later
withdraw their third ticket if they put
one in the field, should the attitude of
the nominee of the republican party
satisfy their demands respecting cam
paign issues.
A few hours after Mr.. Borah's re
marks on the situation had been made.
Mr.. Perkins emerged from d confer
ence with Senator Lodge, smilingly
declaring that the outlook for harmony
between the two conventions was
brighter
simultaneously, it was announced
that the progressive plan to print full
page advertisements throughout the
country tomorrow in behalf of Colone
Roosevelt had been abandoned
Neither Mr.. Perkins nor any of th'
other progressives who were in the con
ference would discuss details nor sa!
what led to the abandonment of tn,

discuss the conversation beyond say

changed views and that he was better
satisfied with the situation than he
had been before te tsiEed with Oyster

When it became known there had
been a telephone conference il was re-
ported the senator told the colonel that
he believed Hughes should be nom
mated early by the republicans and
that he hoped such a program would
be satisfactory. This report was re-
peated to Senator Borah, who declared

The telephone conference took place
shortly after meeting late tonight
Ibetween Senator Borah and George w

that the republican convention SHOULD

an orderly manner anG select the can

Field Marshal Kitchener, the
British secretary for war, and
several of his staff have been lost
at sea off the Orkney islands by
the sinking of the British cruiser

there were no survivors OF the
