After he had pronounced sentence on the three offenders, Judge FItz Gerald sounded a warning to them against tiny further disturbance of the peace, declurlng that upon the next offense, that he would place them under heavy bonds to insure orderly conduct.

PEOPLE I to n stop and began carving the air to keep his pursuers from attacking him. At sight of tho brandished knife, Richardson backed up, but his wife, drawing forth a long bluded knife from her hand bag stepped forth en couraged by her daughter and soon reinforced by her husband armed with a pair of scissors. It was at this juncture that Walter Wells arrived and, with the nsslstanc of others, man aged to prevent a clash. Tho Richardson faction, after a short consultation, went to the po lice station to fllo charges against Watson but, after hearing the details City Attorney Rnlley, who was him self an observer of the trouble made out tho warrant against Richardson and the two women. Charges Mndo by Each. During tho progress of the trial, Watson was accused by his antagonists of having tried to break up their homes and of being anything but n gentleman In his conduct. Watson asked to make an answering state ment but, ns such evidence had no bearing on tho Issue before the court, this was disallowed. However, Wat son declares any questionable relntlons which ho has had with the women were encouraged by the latter and he says this together with professional jealousy aroused becnuse of the nu merous jobs he has secured In the city, resulted in tho Richardson fac tion attempting to run him out of the city and he cites their charges that he was stealing from different stores in which he was Janitor which charges he proved false, as evidence of their methods, 1 START CORONATION CEREMONY TODAY. Windsor, Eng., June 10. The first of the gorgeous spectacles of coronation happened, today when Edward Albert, the Prince of Wales, was Invested with the heraldic order of the Knight of the Garter. The Duke of Connaught brother of the late King Edward, and Prince Arth- ur of Connaught were sponsers. King George knighted him. De- spite the gorgeousness of the ceremony there was a pathetic touch. Two years ago King Manuel of Portugal was knight- ed. Today he stood among v them, playing at being king, de- spite the fact that his kingdom Is gone and himself an exile. CARRIE NATION DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS KANSAS SALOON SMASHER SUCCUMBS AT LEAVENWORTH Worry Over Lawhiilts Against a Lec ture Bureau Caused Her Sickness Was Not Allowed to Read Mail for 31 any Weeks. Leaveenworth, Kas., June 10. After a lingering illness of several months caused by worrying over law suits which she had brought against a lecture bureau for alleged failure to pay for services, Mrs. Carrie Na tion, the Kansas saloon smasher, died here last night, at 7:05 p. m. Paresis was the cause of her death. Hoping to recover from a nervous breakdown she a few months ago entered the lo cal sanitarium In which she died. It became evident several days ago that Mrs. Nation could not recover, and Dr. A. L. Sumalsky, a physician at the sanitarium, Informed her that the end was near. She said nothing, but smiled. She j became unconscious at noon yester day and did not survive. Relatives, had been telegraphed for, but only Dr. Sumalsky and a nurse were at the bedsie when she died. The last five months of Mrs. Na- t.on s me in tne sanitarium was in marked contrast to her former activi ty. Once she saw a physician at the sanitarium smoking a cigarette. She made no remonstrance, merely saying that she had done all she could to "eradicate the evil." The body will be sent to Kansas City, Kas., today. Funeral services will be held there probably tomorrow. Dor n in Kentucky. Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in Kentucky in 1846. Her maiden name was Carrie Moore, and as a girl, it is said, she was absolutely fearless. In her early life she married a man ad dicted to intoxicants which created in her a great aversion to the sale. When he died she determined to de vote her life to the suppression of the liquor traffic. Later she moved to Kansas and married David Nation, who sympa thized with her temperance principles. He divorced her ten years ago. Mrs. Nation's first saloon smashing was done in the bar room of the Carey hotel at Wichita, December 17, 1900. biie was arrested and remained In jrril several days before she was re leased on bond. On January 21, 1901, armed with her favorite weapon, a hatchet, Mrs. Nation made another raid in Wichi ta. Tills time she smashed three Joints. During the next three months Mrs. Nation surprised the joint:sts in various Kansas towns, appearing un heralded and leaving a trail of ruin ed bar room fixtures wherever she went. Many jointlsts became terror stricken when tho militant temper ance advocate appeared in their neighborhoods and locked their places and fled before the faithful hatchet could get into action. Remarkably few of the saloon men used violence In resisting Mrs. Na tion, although she was assaulted and badly hurt while wrecking a joint at Enterprise, Kas. By this time the state of Kansas was In a ferment. The people began to demand that all the saloons and joints be closed at once. Smashing parties were organized all over the state and bills were passed by the legislature which strengthened the state prohibitory laws. Mrs. Nation after her activities In Kansas, became n lecturer and the editor of n paper called the "Smash er's Mall." She did littlo smashing outside of Kansas. While lecturing in New York sho created a sensation by ap pearing at the horse show In Madison Square Garden and demanding that tho occupants of the Vanderbilt box contribute money for a home for drunkards' wives which she founded In Kansas City, Kas. The home recently was taken over by the Associated Charities of Kan sas City. Arrangements are being made to publish the sophomore class song that took the glee contest at Willam ette University recently. INSURGENT MOVEMENT HAS NOT STOPPED. WaHhlngton, June 10. Deny- Ing the rumors that the Insur- gent movement had slowed up, Congressman Norrls, Nebraska, in a statement Issued today, said that the reports were set afloat by some of the newspa- pers In the Interest of Taft's re- nomination. "The insurgent movement has' barely begun," he said. "The reports that the Insurgents are discouraged Is without foundation. They are the result of a combination of certain newspapers for the pur- pose of helping Taft get the nomination next year because he favored the reciprocity with Canada, which Is expected to lower the price of print paper." v NO CLUE TO SLAYER OF HILL FAMILY CITIZENS AXD OFFICERS SPEND NIGHT IN SEARCH Police Are Connecting Crime With That of Barbara Holtznian, Who Wus Murdered in Portland two Months Ago. Portland, June 10. Following an all night hunt, the citizens and offi cers are no nearer the clew to the murderer of the Hill family, near Sellwood, than yesterday when the fiendish crime was discovered. Several persons who were suspect ed In connection with the crime were taken into custody today, but they easily proved an alibi. The finger prints of the murderer were secured from the bloody axe, but thus far there is absolutely no clue to the identity of the slayer. The police are connecting the crime with that of Barbara Holtzman, aged 5, who was murdered in Portland two months ago. The general description of the man is the same In both cases. . , The sheriffs of Multnomah and Clackamas counties aided by detec tives and deputies, continue their search for a clue that might possibly lead to the apprehension of the per petrator of a crime which for fiend ishness exceeds anything in the crim inal history of this state. The crime was committed by a de generate, that much has been dem onstrated by the authorities, by the condition the bodies were found in, and a degenerate at that of the lowest order conceivable. Sknt Congress in rittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa., June 10.

In progress today to select officers for the four municipal playground governments! The children of the city are the vot ers but the elections are conducted in the same manner as those of the gravest Importance.

With a field picked from the crack two-year olds of the country, barring the Hild reth string, the Latonia Derby to be run this afternoon promises to com- pletely overshadow all previous run nings of that classic. The Derby is the feature of today's card for the opening of the spring meet at the La tonia track. The spectators who vis it the course this afternoon will see what will appear to be a new plant, as many improvements have been made in the last year. A riding and driving club Is the lat est organization being projected by local people and a meeting will be held Monday night to determine the sentiment of those Interested in hors es. If such a club Is formed, the track at Round-up Park will be turn ed over to it for. the summer and ma tinees will be held every two weeks. The attempt to organize a riding and driving club Is the result of a problem which has been confronting the Round-up officials for some time, namely, how to keep up the track during the summer. So many riders and drivers 'have been using the track lately that the association began to consider closing tho gates and barr ing out all people In order to preserve the track for the wild west show, for the wheels of the vehicles and the horses tend to loosen the dirt on the track so that every wind storm a con siderable amount of the surface Is blown away. With proper caretak Ing, this could be prevented but the HORSEMEN MA RIDING AND T INCLUDES MANY DIG FEATURES Larger and Better Attractions to be Offered Than Ever Seen in County Before EVERYTHING WILL BE ABSOLUTELY FREE Chairman Montgomery Gets In Touch With Number of star Features nt Portland Parado to Be Most X Or el and Unique Pageant Ever Seen in This City Program at Park.

Loath to see the track closed Frank Frazier, the well known horseman, and Lawrence Frazier, manager of the grounds, conceived the idea of a riding and driving club and believe that the idea will meet with general favor. They declare that a member ship of fifty will, with small month ly dues, be sufficient to keep the track In good condition, for they fig ure that an outlay of $75 a month will be all necessary. They would hold mantlnees every two weeks dur ing the summer with riding and driv ing races to which a small admit tance would be charged all except members. Inasmuch as the owners of horses would have tho advantage of a good track for training, some good races would result. The meeting will be held In the city hall Monday night and all Interested In the project are requested to be present.
