GAUSED PANIC IN CHURCH |
an——————
Denver, Colo., Feb. 24. —Father Lec
Heinrichs was shot and killed by Giu
geppe Guarnaccto, an avowed anar
chist and priest hater, while the priest
was administering sacrament at early
mass in St. Elizabeth's Roman Catholic
church. Kneeling at the altar rail be
tween two women, Guarnaccto pressed
the muzzle of a revolver against the
body of the priest, after receiving from
him the consecrated wafer, and shol
the priest through the heart: Exclaim-
Ing “My God, My God” Father Leo fell
prone in front of the altar and died.
With an inarticulate scream, the as
sassin sprang into the aisle and, waiv-
ing the smoking pistol about his head,
dashed to the church door. For a
moment, the hundred or more persons
ifn the church were dazed. Then a
woman shrieked and the congregation
became panic stricken. Several women
fainted and many others became hys-
terical. Several men, including Patrol-
man Daniel Cronin, started in pursuit
of the murderer. Policeman Cronin
overtook the fleeing Italian on the
church steps. Guarnaccto attempted tc
shoot the policeman, put was foiled
and overpowered after a desperate
struggle, in which several men assisted
the officer.
The murderer was hurriedly removed
to the city jail. As threats of sum-
mary vengeance were made by men
who quickly gathered in front of the
church. Chief of Police Michael De
laney called out the reserve force of
patrolmen,
Guarnaccto was put in solitary con
finement. He admitted to a policeman
that the priest whom he had killed was
a stranger to him and, in explanation
of his crime, said:
“] just went over there because I
have a grudge against all priests in
general. They are all against the
working man. I went to the com-
munion rail because I could get a better
shot. I did not give a damn whether
he was a German priest or any other
kind of a priest. They are all in the
sume class,

From Reade’'s Neck
“Cut His Throat.”
Paterson. N. J., Feb. 25.—Because
his wife refused to give him his week-
ly allowance of one dollar out of his
pay envelope, George R. Reade, a silk
weaver, made a “desperate” attempt
to commit suicide.
Getting out his razor he dipped it
fn the catsup bottle, and then poured
the rest of the pottle’'s contents on
his neck, giving it the appearance of
having been cut. Then with a groan
he fell to the floor. His wife dropped
her paper and rushed into the room,
and when she saw the “blood” on her
husband's neck and the “bloody”
razor lying on the floor beside him,
ghe screamed for help.
When a doctor was called he found
Reade sitting on the floor. His neck
was clean. The catsup had been
“washed” off by his St. Bernard dog,
as he lay “unconscious” on the floor,
and, having no more tn keep up the
deception, he admitted that he
“wasn’t hurt much.”
Because of the fright she received
Mrs. Reade is under the care of a
physician.

mended that the death sentance upon

Left Ear.
New York, Feb. 24, — Thomas A.
Edison, the inventor, is a patient at
the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat
hospital, where he underwent an oper-
ation intended to relieve him of trouble
in the left ear.
The operation, which was not con-
sidered especially serious, was perform-
ed by Dr. Arthur B. Duel, the ear
specialist. who opened an abscess in
the middle ear. It was seemingly
wholly successful and unless unexpect-
ed complications develop a prompt
recovery is anticipated. Mr. Edison,
however, will be at the hospital for
probably a week.
Mrs. Edison is at the hospital and
will remain during her husband's stay
there.
Mr. Edison is sixty-one years of age
and has not been in real good health

is the widow of a Civil War veteran
and received $772 recently. The money
was deposited in an Allentown bank.
Robbers attempted to force her to give
them the money by torture and beat
her into inseneibility. When they

fled.

0G SPOILED ATTEMPT TO oie | NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PANIC |
————
Cleveland, O., Feb. 22. —Warren S.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, made the
following statement in connection with
the reported purpose of some railway
sompanies to order a general reduction
in the wages of employes:
«The threatened reduction of the |
wages of employes in train service is |
absolutely unjustified from any point |
of view. Their pay is based on mileage
basis, practically piec2 work, and they
are only paid when there are services
to be performed. Wages of employes
in train service fall parallel with the
shrinkage in business, plus increased
living expenses away from home.
“rhe roads are getting the same re-
turn in freight receipts for the services
rendered as they did when the business
was good, and there is no consistency
in asking men to accept further reduc-
tions than result from the present busi-
ness shrinkage, and the full power of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers will be used, if necessary, in an
effort to prevent any further reduction,
because it would be agsolutely un-
William C. Lee, assistant grand mas-
ter of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, speaking for his organiza-
tion on the same subject dictated the
following:
“The wage workers have not had a
thing to do with this panic and loss of
business, except to suffer from the mis-
management of some employers and |
speculators who blundered in the game
of dollars on Wall street. |
“If he works he produces just as |
much per hour as he ever did; his liv-
ing expenses are just as high as before.
“All classes of trainmen are paid by
the mile or trip, and a reduction of
miles run, or trips made, means a re |
duction of the amount paid for by the
employer. |
“Phere can be no good argument pre-
sented why trainmen should receive
lower trip, or mileage rates for miles
run. Freight trains are not run unless
business requires it. Corporations
never carry an overload of labor, bit
labor is usually compelled to carry an
overload of capitalization.
“1t is no fault of labor that finan-
efers play with their money and lose,
nor is it the business of labor to suffer
the losses sustained when its employers
reach too far into the fire and get their
fingers burned.
“Our principal business now is to
maintain the present standard of liv-
ing, which means to hold to the pres-
ent standard of wages, and unless all
signs fail, railroad emnloyes will op-
pose to the bitter end any attempt to
reduce wages.”
THAW IN ASYLUM TO STAY
Probability That He Will Spend Rest
of His Life In Restraint.
New York, Feb. 25.—Harry K. Thaw
seems doomed to spend the rest of his
life in an asylum for the insane. Ali-
enists who have examined and observ-
ed him since he was committed to Mat-
teawan asvium are convinced that he
{s a paranoiac, and this ailment is a
progressive disease, it would appear
that nothing short of a miracle can
intervene to secure his freedom.
Dr. Ferris, head of the state board of
lunacy, on whose judgment Thaw's
chances of liberty largely depends, was
one of the alienists engaged by Dis-
trict Attorney Jermone to testify at
the first trial of Thaw. At that time
Dr. Ferris was of the opinion that
Thaw was a dangerous lunatic. It can
now be stated on the highest authority
that Dr. Ferris still holds that opinion.

in any quantity, and the delivery and price will be right.
For those who don’t like prepared roofing, or where shingles
are more desirable—for certain styles of architecture, or repairing
old roofs, there is only this kind of shingles.
It the conditions that surrounded our grand-parents, those of
endless tracts of Pine and Chestuut and other timber, coupled with
impossible transportation, were here to-day, we might justify us-
ing some other wood than Red Cedar. Bus things are so different
now, that you can get Cedar a little better than any other kind.
This comes from the Lumber Man knowing what is good and
what is not, and getting a stock accordingly.
Red Cedar is so far aliead of other possible woods to us here,
thas there is no comparison. No impartial investigator would use
any other. They do not curl, split or ros. They hold the nails
and have long life.
The B. L. C. make it a specialty of seeing that every bundle
is of the very highest grade. They must be well seasoned and per-
fect in every way. No imperfect shingles can pass this examina-
tion. When the shingles are sent from bere, you can be confident
that your roof will not leak if they are properly laid
When the time comes to bay—will you give us your order ?
