BROOM SHOT Of
REJECTED LOVER
Young Bride Attacked, But Her Life
Saved.
New Orleans (Special). On her
bridal trip, which had begun scarcely
an hour before, and seated In a rail
road coach almost between her hus
band and a former suitor for her
hand, Mrs. Fred Van Ingen saw the
flash of the suitor s revolver, felt the
grip of het husband's hand as the
bullet killed him and then fought for
her life. When the girl appeared
about to become the victim of the
second bullet from the revolver, her
uncle, a man with gray hair, but
strong and cool under the excite
ment, rushed In and thrust his thumb
beneath the hammer of the revolver,
rendering the weapon harmless.
This was the story the other pas
sengers on the Texas and Pacific
"Caiinonaa'.l" told when they reach
ed this city, but the principal actors
In the tragedy, most of whom nre
connected with Louisiana's leading
fnmllles, have so far refused to dis
cuss the matter.
The former suitor is P. 8. Beau
vre, of Plaquemine, La., at which
place he was taken from the train
and placed under arre3t. The unfor
tunate husband was Prof. Fred Van
Ingen, a prominent teacher of Alex
andria, La., and a relative of former
Governor Blnnchnrd. The bride Is
the daughter of .Inmes M. Rhorer,
one of the lending officials of Iber
ville Parish, residing at Baton
Rouge. Beauvre Is 24 years old and
Van Ingen was 23.
The wedding took place at Alex
andria. Beauvre was In town, hav
ing arrived there on the same day as
Miss Rhorer. When the bridal
couple left for New Orleans, he
boarded the train and after a time
sat In a seat where he was facing
Mr. and Mrs. Van Ingen, with the
brldo between him and her husband.
Other passengers say Beauvre talked
with the bridal couple Just before
the shooting and say that his manner
appeared cordial.
Beauvre is alleged to have leaned
across and said: Congratulations
to you both."
The bride thnnked hlni and added,
"We are very happy." at the same
time turning to her husband to
caress bin.
"This Is too much," Beauvre Is
tilleged to have exclaimed and,
drawing a revolver from hlB pocket,
he fired at Van Ingen. tiie first shot
killing the bridegroom almost In
stantly. As the husband sank Into
his wife's arms, Beauvre, with arm
still outstretched, started to pull Hie
trigger again, hut a white-haired man
leaped forward and thrust, his thumb
between the hammer and cartridge
so that the cartridge did not ex
plode. Other passengers then caught
Beauvre and disarmed him.
ONE MORE IN FORTUNATE.
Beautiful Girl Wearing Diamonds
Goes To Her Death.
New York (Special). Apparently
disappointed In love, Dora Abrams,
a strikingly beautiful young woman,
2 4 years old, was found dead in her
apartments, 83 Gerry Street, Wil
liamsburg, one of the most dramatic
cases of suicide the police have had
to deal with in years,
Every crack and crevice In the
doors and windows of her apart
ment had been carefully sealed With
paper and cloth. This task, the po
lice say, must have required three
hours of time. Not a trace was found
or any letters, nor Is there any other
means of ascertaining who her rela
tives are and where she came from.
The girl's body was found lying
In her kitchen. She had dressed her
self In her finest cjothes, wearing all
her jewelry. One end of a rubber
hose was tied to her mouth with
a silk handkerchief and the other
end was fastened to a small gas
stove. On the girl's fingers were
three diamond rings, in her ears were
diamonds, and she had carefully ar
ranged her hair before lying down
to die.

Toklo (By Cable). Leading diplo
mats and scholars of Japan are man
ifesting such enthusiasm for the Idea
of a conference of powers Interested
In the Pacific that It Is almost cer
tain Japan will Issue the call for
such a conference If the Initiative
Is not taken by either England or
America.
A few of those who expressed
themselves today as unreservedly in
favor of the proposal are Baron Kntn,
minister of communications; M.
Haseba, parliamentary leaders; M.
Olshl and M. Matsuda, former cab
inet ministers, and Professor To
mlcw, an authority on International
law.
Almost Unanimous For Conference.
This list of names could be multi
plied Indefinitely, for the Japanese
opinion Is almost unanimous that the
time has come for a clearly defined
statement regarding the future ac
tivities on the world's greatest
ocean.
The argument Is heard on every
hand that the zones of interest and
Influence of Japan, England and
America In the Orient are rapidly
expanding and must soon clash un
less n permanent understanding Is
reached at a conference called as
speedily as possible.
Americans Privately Favor Plan.
None of the officers of the Amer
ican fleet will allow himself to be
quoted on the proposition, but in
private talks many of them have
heartily Indorsed the Idea.
The reason for much of Japan's
enthusiasm In the conference matter
is the attempt to stir up a feeling
In America for an alliance between
Americn and Japan. Japan holdB
that she is the natural ally for either
England or Amerlcn, or both, In the
control of the Pacific.

MORE CARNEGIE HERO
PROS ARE MADE
Maryiander is One of Those On the
Honor List
Plttaburg, Pa. (Special). Tho
Carnegie Hero Fund Commission at
Its quarterly mating here recogniz
ed 48 persons as having performed
acts of herols: i deserving recogni
tion under the rules governing the
fund provided by Mr. Carnegie.
Each of these persons was awarded
a medal, bronze, silver or golden
and a number of them were also
awarded cash for educational 1 or
other purposes. The cash awards
made amount to about $40,000.
A Marylnnder Is among those hon
ored: Daniel P. Greoly. of Sparrows
Point, who lost his life June 11.
1908, in savin that of a drowning
companion.
To Oreeley i I awarded a silver
medal, $50 a onth to his widow
and $5 a n: ..lb for each minor
child.
One of tho most Interesting
awards is that of Joseph C. Casler,
of Cassville, N. J., who was given a
bronze medal and $250 in cash for
saving the life of William E. Carey
at Cassville on ugust 20, 1906.
The official report of the hero
commission sl.ows that Carey on
that date was working in the well
of John W. AiBdale, which contain
ed about 10 feet of water and which
was lined with a rough Btone wall.
The pump was being repaired by
Carev. who was on a swing 25 feet
down, Bitting on a board suspended
by a rope. He braced one of his
feet against the stone wall at a
weak place and it gave away, letting
his foot through, where It caught.
The wall above shattered, too, and
fell down on him partly.
Word was carried to Casler, a
farmer, who was working several
miles away, and he came, finding a
great crowd around the well, but
all were afraid to enter beef use of
fenr of gas. Casler had himself low
ered Into tho well, to find that It
would be necessary to remove most
of the wall In order to rescue the
Imprisoned man. He worked for five
hours, then was relieved by an ex
perienced well digger, whom he again
relieved in three hours. All the rock
nnd debris had to be sent up In
buckets. It required 13 hours to
dig Carey out and he was more dead
than alive when rescued.
One thing that made the act of
Casler of great Importance in the
eyes of the commission was the fact
that the soil around the well was
very sandy and liable to slip in on
the well at any moment.
The Hero Fund Commission, up to
October 1, has had presented for Its
consideration 2,84 7 cases. Of these
1,783 have been rejected as not
coming within the scope of the com
mission; 172 have been favorably
acted upon, a medal being awarded
In each case, and money In a num
ber of cases; 892 cases await Inves
tigation by the agents of the com
mission, four of whom are constant
ly at work.
At this meeting 120 cases were
considered, 72 of which were reject
