rived here this evening to consult with
the members of the National committee
and chairmen of Western state and terri
torial commissions he was greeted by a

which opens tomorrow will be a success.

Senator Warren, of Wyoming, and a
number of Republicans not members of

Nothing of the kind now undertaken by
Mr. Hitchcock was ever attempted in the
history of National campaigns in any
party. He announced upon his arrival
here today that it would be his purpose
to have states which are certainly Repub
lican assist in campaigning in neighbor
ing states, which may be. doubtful. To
that end he is bringing the Western lead
irs together.-
Programme for Today.
Tomorrow there wlli be a general con
ference at, which the various leaders will
Exchange Ideas and formulate a system
whereby one state may draw upon the
political resources of another. After
that Mr. Hitchcock will hold individual
conferences with the representatives of
tach of the states and territories which
ire sending men for the political gather
ing: According to Chairman iltchcock,
there hae been a lack of .co-operation
between Western leaders in past cam
paigns, the representatives . of each
state doing the best to pile up Repub
lican majorities, but not helping other
states which have more difficult politi
cal battles to fight.
Broaden the Responsibility.
He said today that he wanted to
broaden the responsibilities of each of
the Western Republican leaders, with
i. view of carrying the whole Western
region for Taft and Sherman.
When asked what Western States e
regards as safely Republican, and what
Dnes he classes as doubtful, Mr. Hitch
Cock said:
Makes No Fro dictions.
"I have determined not to make any
predictions at any time. That will b
my policy throughout the campaign.
We won't neglect any territory, where
tbere Is a bare chance of victory, either
North South, East or West; but I shall
not indulge in forecasts."
A delegation from Denver arrived
hire tonight to see Mr. Hitchcock, and
urged the selection of that city as the
place of establishing a Western head
auarters for the distribution of cam
paign material and assignment of
speakers.
Salt Lake is being considered also,
but no decision will be made until
fter Mr. Hitchcock returns to the
East. .

crowd, arriving at this time, heard the
screams and Imagined that the fugitive
was committing further crimes.
Big Throng Quickly Gathers.
They quickly surrounded the house,
shouting wildly and attracting a still
larger crowd. Little boys and girls from
the vicinity joined and women blockaded
the streets and sidewalks for blocks
around.
Meanwhile Detective Sergeant Baty
and Detective Howell had learned of the
tragedy by telephone and arrived within
a few minutes at the Awahnee apartment
house. There they found the dying; man
and woman on the floor and heard of the
escape of Conelli. Leaving other officers
in charge, they gave chase to the fugi
tive and reached the residnce on Sal
mon stret when the mob was In a wild
state of excitement.
Ofifcers Find Way Blocked.
It was with difficulty that the officers
forced their way through the crowd, men
and women blocking the way, and in their
frenzied desire to see something grewsome
or morbid, even refusing to heed the stars
of the officers.
Finally reaching the house Captain Baty
broke open the door of the room ' into
which the fugitive had fled. On the bed
lay Conelli, his hat still on his head and
a revolver In his hand. On a dresser was
found the note in which he directed that
his goods and possessions be given to Mr.
Leonard and another- in which he ex
pressed the desire that his watch be given
to the girl.

notes, one announcing that he left his
watch to "the little girl, Dolly Sharp,

HONOLULU, July 19. A feature of the
entertainment of the fleet today was the
presentation of hundreds of tons of fruit

battleships. The great store of good
things was loaded on a lighter which
was towed to each of the 12 ships In turn,

streets of the residence district that did
not offer retreat to the white clad visi

QUITS ALTAR FAR SINGER
PRIEST FALLS IN LOVE WITH
CHORISTER MAID.
Catholic Archdiocese Stirred bj
the Romance of Pretty
Italian Girl.
PHILADELPHIA. July 19. (Special.)
Behind the belated announcement made
to a few friends by Miss Rose Rossi, a
pretty Italian girl, of 1423 EllswQrth
street, that she had been married some
where in the western part of the state
last December to Philip Mucci, Is 'a
romance which has stirred not only "Lit
tle Italy." where the pair live, but the
entire Roman Catholic archdiocese.
Mucci. at the time he fell in love with
the girl, was a Catholic priest of the
Augustlnian Order, attached to the
Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel,
Christian street, above Eighth. His bride
was the leading choir singer in the
church. Her appearance made her a
belle In the Italian quarter, with admirers
by the score. Father Mucci became in
terested in the girl, and was a frequent
visitor to her home.
One day the priest disappeared from the
rectory, and at the same time the girl
lert her home. Then came a letter from
the priest to the Rev. Angelo Caruso.
rector or the Italian Church, explaining
the former's attachment for the young
woman and hte Intention to woo her. His
expulsion from the priesthood soon fol
lowed. Father Mucci was 26 years old,
and had been a priest only a few years,
but his strong sermons and apparent love
ror nis cnosen work made him a general
favorite among his parishioners.
Because of parental objections on the
part of the young woman's family, it was
thought by friends of the girl that there
would be no wedding. Consequently, they
were much surprised 5-esterday to learn
that the marriage had taken place. The
bride admitted the marriage, and insisted
that she "is perfectly 'happy." Mucci, It
is understood, is earning his living by
translating Italian and English.

however, the President probably would
not be deterred from taking such action
if he deemed it best. -In anticipation of
the meeting, the staff of the war col
lege, already has taken 'up the question
of designs for future battleships. These
will be considered at the coming meetUig.
There have also been inquiries along
other lines and the entire question of
reform Is to be threshed.
In the opinion of naval officers sta
tioned here, there Is every prospect for
the greatest row in years In the depart
ment. It may mean' the dethroning of
several cf the older officers who have
run affairs for many years. As these offi
cers have friends in high places, the
swtng of the Presidential "big stick" will
probably be followed by a storm of pro
test in which the entire naval squabble
may take on the proportions of a scandal.

BALLOON RAGE A FAILURE
POOR QUALITY OF ST. PAUL
GAS IS BLAMED FOR FIASCO.
Big Airship Chicago Wins Contest by
Flight of 73 Miles Pommern
Second With 52.
i
ST. PAUL, July 19. All the balloons
that started from St. Paul yesterday. In
an effort to surpass the world's distance
and endurance record have landed, and
no records have been broken. The Pom
mern landed at 10:30 o'clock today at
Warsaw, Minn. The Chicago, the largest
balloon in the race, owned by C. A. Coey,
of Chicago, came down at noon near
Blooming Prairie, Minn., about 85 miles
south of St. Paul on the Milwaukee road.
A. Leo Stevens, director of the race, in
explaining the failure of trie aeronauts to
sail greater distances than they accom
plished, said the lifting power of the gas
was not as great as they had counted on.
and that consequently the balloons were
unable to carry ballast necessary for a
long flight.
Distances in balloon races are measured
in a line from starting point to the land
ing place and not by the total number of
miles traveled. The Chicago won the
contest by traveling a distance of 73
miles in an air line. The Pommern land
ed 52 miles from St. Paul.

WALKER'S HEALTH BROKEN
ABSCONDER PRESENTS PITLA
BLE SIGHT AT SAN DIEGO.
Declares Mexican Courts Gave Him
, Xo Protection, Playing Into
Hands of Prosecution.
SAN DIEGO, Cal July 19. (Special.)
When the steamer S. T. Dennis ar
rived from Ensenada at 6:40 o'clock this
morning, she had on board William F.
Walker, the New Britain, Conn., ab
sconder, in custody of the State Super
intendent of Police Egan, of Connecti
cut, and H. J. Hoffman, a Plnkerton de
tective. Walker was rather a pitiable
object as he stepped ashore, stoop
shouldered and haggard. The 'news
paper men who sought to Interview him
could get little more than a shake of
the head and the remark:
"It is a very fine day." '
The trio proceeded at once to th
Santa Fe depot, where they left for Los
Angeles on the 8:35 train.
Later, Walker made the following
statement:
"I feared this would be the result,
because I did not have a fair show in
their courts. In truth, only one Judge
ever looked into y case or heard ar
guments for or against me. Judge Ca
dena, of the District Court In Ensenada,
decided that I should be extradited.
The Department of Foreign Relations
approved the finding perfunctorily,
without argument and without much
examination. Then we used the peti
tion for a writ of amparo (habeas cor
pus), and it was heard by Judge Ca
dena. Of course, he agreed with film
self that he was right In the first- case.
"Then came the review by the Su
preme Court of Mexico, and then I was
not represented. I had expected Messrs'.
Filler & Cervlntes to appear for me.
but had not been able sufficiently to
retain them and they did not appear.
There was no argument, no showing
for me, and the report was indus
triously circulated around the City ot
Mexico that I was not only willing but
anxious to return to Connecticut. Who
spread this report I don't know, but I
suspect the prosecution. Small wonder
then that the court merely said, "Let it
go.' I had hoped for a different de
cision, hut will have to be content. T
have nothing to tell the people back
there that the bank does not already
know."
