RIDDLED WITH LEAD
Policeman Shoots at Armour's
Automobile.
PACKER WILL FIGHT IT OUT
Wife and Daughter Made 111 by the
Shock of Fusillade Chauffeur
Denies Exceeding Chi
cago Speed Limit.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23. (Special.) Shot at
five times by a policeman, her chauffeur
arrested twice and fined J20 the second
time, Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, wife of the
millionaire packer, today planned drastlo
action against the Rogers Parle policeman
who riddled her automobile with bullets.
As a result of the shocks, Mrs. Armour
is almost prostrated today and little Lo
lita is ill in Lake Forest.
The adventures of the party with a
policeman were told today by C. H. Huck,
the chauffeur, who was digging bullets
from the automobile at the Armour gar
age at 4030 Michigan avenue.
"When we encountered Rogers Park we
were driving slowly," Huck said. "Mrs.
Armour had asked that I be careful on
account of Miss Lolita. We had just
turned into the Ridge road when the offi
cer appeared and ordered us to stop, call
ing out that we were violating the speed
law. I denied it, for we were going so
. slowly that we could keep up a running
conversation with him. Then he drew a
revolver and began to wave it. I stopped
the car, and as he came up he began to
shoot. He fired five shots. Here are the
bullets now," and Huck pointed to the
riddled tonneau. "Mrs. Armour seized
the barrel of the revolver and pushed it
away from the direction of her daughter."
J. Ogden Armour eays he will push the
case to the limit.

SHELDON JACKSON'S REPLY
DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR
MISUSE OF FUNDS.
Says Reindeer Were Earned by Mis
sions and Natives Founded No
Schools Without Pupils.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 23. Dr. Sheldon Jackson Is
sorely displeased over the publication of
the Churchill report casting reflections on
his management of the Government
school fund and Government reindeer in
Alaska, and in an interview published
here today hastens to enter a denial of
many charges made by ChurchilL
As to misuse of school appropriations,
Jackson disclaims air responsibility, say
ing those funds were disbursed by the
Bureau of Education with the approval
of the Secretary of the Interior. But he
falls to mention that these disbursements
were all made on his recommendation
and that his superiors had to depend
upon his judgment in these matters.
Replying to the charge that a large part
of the Government reindeer herd had
passed out of the hands of the Govern
ment, he says 3817 have been earned by
native Eskimo, 2127 by mission stations
and 1137 by Lap teachers. In strict ac
cordance with the intention of the Gov
ernment at the time the deer were Im
ported. He denies establishing schools at points
where there were insufficient pupils to
justify them, citing instances in brief. He
makes sweeping denials and pays a high
tribute to those who are conducting
schools and handling reindeer in Alaska.

ter Lumber Company's store at Bad
ham, was notified by a negro that he
saw another negro attempting to enter
a window of his home and then run away
into a near-by cane patch. Conner im
mediately started for his home through
the canefield and suddenly came upon
Spain and grappled with the negro, strik
ing him a severe blow and breaking
several bones in his hands. The negro
finally freed himself and ran into the
near-by woods.
Conner notified his neighbors and about
two hours later Spain was captured and
locked in jail. Shortly afterward a
posse of 40 or 60 men went to the Sheriff
and. securing the keya of the jail, took
the negro to the house of Conner, where
his 11-year-old daughter positively Iden
tified the negro as the one who had
tried to climb through the window.

near-by oak tree, strung him up to a
limb and fired about 600 shots into his
body. .
ABANDONED BUT FOR TIME
Bell Tells Fate of Fort Brown De
cided by President.
OYSTER BAT, Aug. 23. Brigadier-General
J. Franklin Bell, Chief of Staff of
the Army, was in consultation with Presi
dent Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill today,
at the suggestion of General Ainsworth,
Military Secretary, In order that the War
Department might know exactly the Pres
ident's ideas and desires regarding the
difficulty at Brownsville. General Bell
said the colored troops had been removed
to Fort Reno and replaced by a company
of white soldiers. This action had been
taken In compliance with a telegraphic
request from the state officials. It was
desirable, he said, to discuss the whole
situation with the President before any
further action was taken.
On leaving Sagamore Hill, General
Bell said that the Army post at Browns
ville, Texas, would be temporarily
abandoned as soon as orders to that ef
fect. Issued yesterday by the War De
partment, could be carried out.
Culberson Wants Fort Used.
DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 23. United States
Senator Cutherson, of Texas, sent the fol
lowing telegram yesterday:
"Dallas, Tex., Aug. 22. General F. C.
Ainsworth, the Military Secretary, Wash
ington: In the morning papers here the
Associated Press states that Fort Brown
will be abandoned, and I would thank
you to wire me if this course has been
determined upon. It Is due to the United
States to protect the frontier, and as
Texas borders on Mexico it has always
been deemed advisable to police the fron
tier with regular troops, Including a sta
tion at Fort Brown. While conditions
on the border have improved very much
within recent years, this course is still
advisable, and it would be regrettable
that this fort should be abandoned be
cause the people of a border city like
Brownsville object to negro troops under
circumstances of raid and murder, such
as recently occurred there.
"(SJgned) C. A. CULBERSON."
Senator Culberson declined to discuss
the matter last night.
