0N TRIAL FOR DEATH OF
 ANTI-CATH0LIC TALKER
Slayer Alleged to Be Knights of Columbus Mem-
 Der.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. 23-Venire- men, witnesses and opposing counsel crowded the district court here today for the opening of the trial of John Copeland, of Marshall, Tex, in con- Lection with the killing of William Black, an anti-Catholic lecturer in a hotel of that city. Feb. 3, 1915. The general public was not admitted.
 George Tier and George Ryan, two other Marshall citizens, were indicted on the same charge as Copeland. Har- ry Vim and Frank O'Leary, who were among those first held in con- nection with the killing of Black, but subsequently cleared, will be witnesses for Copeland.
 With a venire of 500 men sum- moned, selection of a jury is expected to require several days.
 Black, whose home formerly was at Bellaire, Ohio, was killed at Mar shall a year ago last February. With Clarence F. Hall and a seventeen year-old girl, Sadie Black, whom he had just adopted In Pulaski county, Arkansas, Black went to Marshall to deliver lectures on the subject, "Ro- reanisn; Menace to Civilization"
 On the first night Black directed his talk against the confessional. He had advertised further to deliver an aldress against what he alleged to be an oath Of the Knights of Columb bus In the afternoon of the second day, February 3, four men, Copeland, Tier, Ryan and John Rogers, all said to be members of the Knights of Colum bus, went to his room and asked him not to speak again. A scuffle ensued, in which Black and Rogers were killed and Copeland was badly wounded.
 Testimony at the examining trials showed that both Black and Hall were armed when the visit took place. Hall appeared before the grand jury, but was never indicted. The cases against Copeland, Ryan and Tier were brought here on a change of venue.

 Singer.

Hartford, Oct. 23.-Karl Strak kosch husband of the late Clara Louise Kel- logg, opera singer, died suddenly to- day in his room at the Hotel Heub- lein.

This morning, on arising, his adopted daughter Miss Claire Strakosch, heard him call. AS she passed his room in their suite she mo- ticed he was very i'll, but before a physician could arrive, MT. Strakosch was dead.
 Telegrams were sent, at once, to New York, and cablegrams were dis patched to his musical associates in London and on the continent.
 Carl Strakosch was born in Vienna Austria April 16, 1860, and received his earlier classic education in that city. He came to America as young man and managed several prominent opera singers. He married Miss Kel- logg in 1887 while they were on tour III LIIS "SSI.
 A few years later MT. and Mrs. Strakosch owing to the ill health of Clara Louise Kellogg's mother, went to New Hartford, the ancestral home of the Kelloggs and took up their residence at Elpstone, in that town. During their stay in New Hartford, they generally spent the winter in Rome, Italy to which Mrs. Strakosch had become attached.
 In 1912, they celebrated the twen- ty-fifth anniversary of their wedding at Elpstone, and on that occasion the whole village of New Hartford was given up to festivities and friends came from miles to offer their con- ! gratulauons. The people of the town, as a token of tlieir esteem, pre- sented to MT. and Mrs. Strakosch on that ocasion, silver loving cup
 AS 1t was Mrs. Strakosch rather than her husband who preferred Rome in the winter, MT. Strakosch, this year had planned to spend the coming season in New York with his daughter

ADLER REPUDIATED BY
 FATHER AND SOCIALISTS
Britain Views Deed As Blow at Ger many and Attempt to Free Austria From Political Clique Controlled by Premier Tisza of Hmgary-London Post Considers It Protest Against AbSOIutiSm.

OcL. Go, o.6o d. ul-GOVeIIllHSIC A circles here regard the killing of Pre- plier Stuergkh as an act of a political crank which can in no wise influence the political situation or the course of the war. This statement was made to the correspondent of The Associat- ed Press in high responsible quarters.
 It is pointed out that the time which has elapsed since the murder has shown that Adler. the assassin, stands alone His act is disavowed by the socialist party and press and con- demned by his father, Victor Adler, socialist member of the lower cham Ter of the Reichsrath. Adler stated to the police that he shot Stuergkh because the premier opposed the con- xening of parliament. It is stated @,fficiaIly that Stuergkh had at no time dcne this. and that he could not do it because the converting of par 1iament was a matter in the hands of the political parties.
 The Austro-Hungarian press brands Adler as a vile, irresponsible crim- inal and without exception deplores the fact that the act of a crazy man should disturb the peace of the S4Aeople. The city is quiet. The public regards the murder as a purely pri- vate crime.

Deed of Political Fanatic.

Berlin, Oct. 22, 2 p. m, via London, Oct. 23, $40 a. m.-All accounts in the morning papers agree in calling the assassination of Premier Stuergkh of Austria the deed of an lrrespon- %sible political fanatic, if not 8 neuras- thenic whose mind has given way under the strain of the war.
 Dr. Friedrich Adler, the assassin. is described by acquaintances as a man of naturally fanatical temperament and one in whose family insanity runs his sister has been in an insane asy- ldm for years. These acquaintances s,say that Adler has given the impress son for months of one whose nerves were stretched to the breaking point and that his wild demeanor has caused much agitation in the Austrian socialist central committee of which he was secretary. Young Adler led small but vehement opposition to the policy of the party under his fathers leadership. ....
 The Vorwaerts, which expresses the strongest disapproval of Dr. Adler's deed, declares that he was undoubted- ly demented when he committed the murder, as nobody in his senses could have expected favorable results from such an act.
  ac% was to prohibit two big meetings called for today as demonstrations in > flavor of the convocation of parlia- ment. He also resigned, on the part ct the government, to participate Tn conference of parliamentary officials tomorrow to discuss the possibility of the resumption of sittings of the rep resentatives. It is not thought that inc prenaier's death will have any ef feet for or against convocation. as he acted only as representative of the t7seystem in opposition thereto. There Is no disposition to charge Adler's act to the parties which demanded the reconvening of the Diet
 Count Won Stuergkh's death evoked a general expression in the press or personal sympathy and horror at the >. deed. The Austrian premier started his political life as a member or the liberal group in the Diet, but ne fought franchise reform and was de- feated in two attempts at re-elec0lon. After this he continued only in parl1a- mentary life, thanks to an appoint ment to the upper chamber.
 As an elective member of the lower Premier Stuergl1h has advocat- N1d the German cause in the comp plicat- ed struggle of nationalities in the struggle in Styri. Up to the outbreak of the war he had coquetted with the Czech party in the struggle with the Germans in Bohemia and later, testi- fled in behalf of the Czech leader, Dr. Karl Kramarz, at his trial for treason.
