Gilmore Meets Death In Trying to
Save His Men.
Stuibenvillf O. The heroism of
Captain Stephen Oliver Gilmore of
the steamboat Little Fred, which turn
ed turtle and sank, drowning her cap
tain, during last Thursday afternoon
has just transpired. River Pilot I-ar-ry
Crawford, who was aboard the
Little Fred, told of the efforts made
by Captain Gilmore to awaken the
men who were sleeping when It was
feared the boat would turn over.
Pilot Crawford Bald the last words
he heard Captain Gilmore speak were:
"I must awaken those fellows who
are sleeping, for we are liable to turn
over any minute." Captain Gilmore
tarted toward the stern of the boat
and when part way a steam pipe burst
and enveloped him In hot steam. In
arother moment the boat turned on
itJ side and every man was struggling
in the water.
The skiff carried on the upper deck
floated off half full of water and with
but one oar, but Crawford got into
the boat and picked up three other
men on hl3 way to where Captain Gil
more was floating on his back. The
captain was an expert swimmer and
seemed to be in no danger at the
time, but when they got the skiff
within about four yards from him the
body sank from sight and did not re
appear. The body has not been re
covered. It is thought possible that
Captain Gilmore was Injured by the
bursting of the steam pipe and that
this will shown when the body is re
covered. FATAL SHOOTNG BY CHILDREN.

THOUSANDS SEE THE BATTLE
Most Dramatic Moment of Night
Comes When Woman Confederate
Leaves Bombarded Building and
Surrenders, Thus Avoiding Death.
Paris, May 15. The career of the
last of Prance's notorious motor-car
bandit gang was dramatically ended,
when, after eight hours' battle with
thousands of police and troops, Its
leader. Octave Gamier, and his con
federate, Vallct, were blown up by ex
plosives In a small villa at Nogent-sur-Marne,
four miles east of Paris, where
they had taken refuge.
Shattered by shots of dynamite,
their house fell in ruins when melin
ite was exploded under its walls.
Searchlights were used to make the
discharge of melinite effective.
The explosion left a yawning open
ing In the villa, through which police
dogs, with savage barks, sprang, while
the police and troops sent volley after
volley of shots Into the ruins of the
building.
The police, holding torches, rushed
in and found Garnler dead and Vallet
dying. Gamier was almost naked, hav
ing on only a few tattered rags. Four
policemen were wounded In the battle.
Vallei died in the automobile which
was conveying him to a Paris hospi
tal. One of the most dramatic moments
of the battle was when, during a lull
in the firing, the woman confederate;
Veuillemin. stepped from the building
and surrendered, leaving the men to
the bitter fight for their lives. The
woman had unwittingly been the
means of giving the police knowledge
of their whereabouts.

MANSLAOGHTER
AGAIN CHARGED
Newjndictments Against Austin
Dam Officials
"WILLFUL AND FELONIOUS"
Significant Change In Wording of
Warrant Members of Flood
Sufferers Association Join
Filing Damage Suits.
Austin, 'a. New warrants, charg
ing the me of manslaughter have
been If , : , for President George C.
Uaylec Oeneral Manager Fred N.
Hani! and Watchman Michael C.
Bail' whom the flood survivors hold
res; '.ble for the great Austin dam
disH .tu- of last September, which cost
80 lives.
The announcement has created un
usual Interest here because Bayless
and Hamlin, who are now awaiting
trial on an indictment upon other
manslaughter warrants Issued in 1911,
have Just secured a change of venue
from Potter-county from the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania. The court is
expected within, a few days, to desig
nate the county In which these trials
shall be held.
The first warrants were for Involun
tary manslaughter. But the changes
in the new warrants are based upon
the following charge:
On account of wilfully and feloni
ously committing the crime of man
slaughter upon persons on account of
.wrongfully and knowingly maintaining
a dam across Freeman Run, above the
borough of Austin, Pa., which broke
and went out on September 30, 1911.
which caused the death of the above
named people.
A warrant was Issued for Bailey be
fore, but he was not Indicted. The
Austin-Costello Flood Sufferers' asso
ciation, through Its attorneys, sought
to prove that Bailey had knowledge
of the dangerous condition of the
d.im prior to the catastrophe.
DELIBERATELY PLANNED CRIME.
Police So Charge Accused In Johns
town Murder Case.
Johnston, Pa. The police authori
ties here declare that in connection
with the assiilt May 8 on Fern Davis,
the pretty choir singer, in Conemaugh
they have unearthed evidence te
show that George Henderson, her con
tessed siayer, attacked her because
Bhe refused to elope.
Henderson had supper on the night
of the murder at the home of a neigh
bor, where his mother and sister were
spending the day, and the police say
he took every precaution against
their returning home early. The con
dition of the dining room at the Hen
derson homo, where the attack was
committed, bore evidence that Mis?
Davis had made a brave light. Appar
ently the girl had been struck while
attempting to escape from the room.
The police say a note, pinned to
the victim's dress, told Mrs. Hender
son who the girl was, this action be
ing due to the fact that neither Mrs.
Henderson nor her daughter Fannie
was acquainted with the young wo
man. The note, is is said, read:
".Mother, this Is Miss Davis."
Further evidence that the assault
had been carefully planned was the
fact that a package, said to have been
blood-besmeared, coutained several
shirts which the young man evidently
intended taking with him.
The exact occurrences at the Hen
derson home probably never will be
known unless the youthful prisoner
at the trial chooses to make a full con
fession. The prosecution says that
a heating Btove in the room was knock
ed two feet from Its position, and a
leg of a couch was broken off. Mis?
Davia' hat was found in one place,
her coat lu another, and her gloves In
another. The carefully wrapped
club, found by the officers when they
arived, lay on the floor. The manner
lu which It had been enclosed In a
carefully folded newspaper tied with
cord, was mute testimony that it had
been prepared beforehand.
That the note and shirts were no
found Is declared by Investigators to
be due to the fact that they had been
burned in the hope of protecting
young Henderson.
It Is declared the girl's neck bore
marks of fingers, indicating that an
attempt had been made to choke her
into submission or to death.
Fighting Parson Declines Call.

ONE ALLEN TO DIE
VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN OUTLAW
CONVICTED FOR COURT
HOUSE MURDER.
IS FOUND GUILTY BY JURY
First of the Murderers Will Pay the
Penalty of His Crime In the Elec
tric Chair in Richmond Sentence
Delayed Pending Other Trials.
Wytheville, Va., May 18 The jury
in the case of Floyd Allen, leader of
the outlaw clan, reported a verdict of
murder in the first degree.
Allen was charged with killing
Commonwealth Attorney William
Foster lu the Hillsvllle Court House
shooting affray on March 14.
Allen was hopeful to the last that
the jury would not agree. The jury
first reported to Judge Staples that
they were unable to arrive at a ver
dict. Judge Staples sent them back
for further deliberation and they were
locked up for the night.
The jury reported an improper ver
dict at first, the foreman stating, "We
hold the prisoner guilty," without spe
cifying the degree. Judge Staples or
dered the jurors to return to their
room and prepare a complete state
ment. The twelve men trooped back
to the court room a moment later with
the first degree specification.
The crowd that packed the court
room made no demonstration when
the verdict was nnnounced. Detec
tives had previously watched every
spectator to prevent any possiility of
a repetition of the Hillsvllle tragedy,
and plain clothes men were scattered
throughout the crowd.
Told to stand to hear the verdict,
which meaiiB that he must die in the
electric chair In Richmond, the prison
er hobbled slowly to his place, his
face grim and stern, but drawn in
lilies of pain. In the words of the
mountaineers in the court room:
"Old Floyd took his medicine like a
man," and lived up to the Allen tradi
tion that none of the family ever fear
ed to face death.
Floyd Allen was charged specifical
ly with the murder of Common
wealth's Attorney William M. Foster,
prosecutor In Carroll County Court lit
HillBville' last March, when the trial
of Floyd Allen culminated in the kill
in of five persons, Judge Thornton L.
Massle, Prosecutor Foster, Sheriff L.
F. Webb, Elizabeth Ayes and Augus
tus Fowler, juror. The tragedy creat
ed a panic in the little mountainside
town of Hillsvllle, where the inhabi
tants always held the Allen clansmen
In deadly terror.

A number of eastern counties were

headed by Congressman B. K. Focht.

Pennypacker on Commission.
Samuel W. Pennypacker, former
governor of Pennsylvania, has been
appointed state railroad commissioner
to succeed Charles N. Mann of Phila
delphia, deceased. The appointment
Is for the full term of five years at
a salary of $8,000 a year.
Ever since Colonel Mann's death It
had been believed that the appoint
ment would go to Philadelphia, and
the selection of the former governor
was a big surprise to the people about
the capitol.
Liability Hearings.
It is probable that a series of hear
Inga on the drafts of the proposed
employers' liability law will be an
nounced within a short time by the
Industrial Accidents Commission. The
members of the commission have been
outlining their bills, and it is the in
tention after they have been spread
broadcast to hold hearings in Phila
delphia, Wilkes-Barre, Harrlsburg,
Williamsport, Erie, PittBburg and
other places and to keep the hearings
going until early fall. The drafts ol
the bill will be placed in the hands ol
the governor by November 1.
To Fight San Jose Scale.
Deputy Secretary of Agriculture A.
L. Martin, who has been on a tour ol
central counties, says that this is the
finest kind of planting weather foi
farmers and that the rains have in
sured an excellent crop of everything
except wheat. The demonstrations of
methods for control of San Jose scale
which have been Btarted in southern
counties are to be pushed owing tc
the fact that blossoms are now com
mencing to fall from fruit trees.
Urge Sportsmen's Aid.
Sportsmen in all parts of Pennsyl
vanla are being urged by Dr. Josept
Kalbfus, secretary of the state game
commission, to use their best efforts
In behalf of the bill now pending ic
congress to give the federal govern
nient control of all migratory birds.
The secretary takes the position that
the destruction of such birds Is a
loss to the nation and writes: "A
great, harm and wrong is being im
posed upon us by many of the people
of other states who are disposed to
follow the old time policy of destroy
ing everything they can reach regard
less of consequences to others. II
seems to me that it is anything but
fair for us to protect various birds
useful to agriculture in this state and
then see the same birds destroyed In
other states and this will be done just
as long as the protection of these
birds devolves upon the state authori
ties alone." Dr. Kalbfus Bays that
such legislation is Important If many
species of birds nre to be saved for
the future.
Big Demand for Auto License.
The high- water mark of state auto
mobile registration, which was the
total for the year 1911, will he passed
early In the coming week at the auto
mobile division of the stale highway
department. The demand for auto
mobile licenses this year has Biir
passed all previous records and it is
believed that the 50,000 mark will he
,-eached before the end of summer.
Thus far over 4:l,rH0 licenses have
been Issued, so that it is not very far
to No. 4I.2--.2, which was the total p-il
out. last year.
The Moral.
Trof. John Spencer Bassett, author
of "A Life of Andrew Jacknon," Is ac
customed to Illustrate his lectures at
Smith college with incidents In Amer
ican history. On one occasion he re
peated a well-known story In regard
to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a
moral which aroused peculiar interest.
Douglas, as a narrative urns, was
Dnce sitting In a profound sleep In the
;orrldor of the capitol when Adeline
Cutts, a Washington belle, passed by.
She did not know the sleeper, but was
struck with compassion on seeing
such a splendidly Intellectual face
under such conditions, and stooping
down laid her handkerchief over it to
protect It from the flics. Douglas on
awakening found the, handkerchief,
sought the owner, and eventually
married her. There was a pause, and
th";n the prufitsor added: "You la
ditb, the wur.il of this story is: Jl.ivc

Long Search for Missing Monarch Be

Family Not Told at Once.
Hamburg, May 16. In the presence
of a little group of Danish courtiers
and local police officials an attendant
in the Morgue here drew back the
white sheet covering one of eight
bodies stretched ou a marble slab and
revealed the form of Frederick VIII.,
King of Denmark. The monarch had
died suddenly in a public square a few
hours before. Being unidentified his
body was sent at once to the Morgue.
In the belief that the King had re
tired at his usual hour, Queen Louise,
Prince Gustav, and Princesses Thyra
and Dagmar were sleeping In their
apartments. Not until his Majesty's
body was recovered from the morgue
and brought to the hotel shortly after
4 o'clock In the morning did the
Queen and her children learn of the
King's death.
It was a grotesque yet picturesque
fate that befel the King. For years
he had been another Haroun-al-Ras-chid,
loving the night life of the cities
where he chanced to be and seeing it
equerry. Following his dinner at the

Hamburger llof he had set out upon
one of these quests after adventure.
The King wore a dark Norfolk jack
et Instead of his dinner coat and turn
ed his steps toward the Goose Market,
which is Hamburg's liveliest quarter
after 11 at night. The square lies just
around the corner from the hotel and
he had sauntered about for less than
half an hour when Dr. Ludwig Selig
mann, .a surgeon, who did not, of
course, know him, saw him stagger
as if in sudden pain at his heart. It
was he who assisted a policeman to
lift the royal form Into a hastily com
mandeered taxicab after he had as
sured himself the then unknown
man's heart had stopped beating.
The respectable old gentleman who
breathed his last on the pavement
was King Frederick VIII., whose sud
den and dramatic demise will put half
the courts of Europe In mourning. The
King's body was taken to the Sailors'
Hospital.
There was nothing to Identify him;
he had a gold watch bearing a mono
gram, a few coins were in his pockets,
but no papers. So his body was sent
to the morgue and placed on a marble
slab, common clay with eight others.
A search was started by the police
hours before, when King Frederick
failed to return from his stroll.
Finally the searchers went to the
morgue, disclosed their Identity and
the nature of their mission, and were
admitted. The valet recognized the
body of the King, and it was removed
to the hotel.
The body of King Frederick was
placed aboard a special train and con
veyed to Travemunde. The royal
yacht Dannebrog, convoyed by a war
ship, conveyed the body to Copen
hagen. Christian Proclaimed.
