GOSGRQV
DAUGHTER GAVE WARNING
Kumors That Cooper's Offspring
.ked fiovernor Patterson to Pre
vent Shooting and That Cooper
Sent a Written Threat.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 11. The
police are Investigating numerous sto
rits which gained circulation yesterday
among the late ex-Senator Carmack'i
friends and were cited by them as tend
In? to show that the Coopers had pre
viouvly determined to attack the ex-
Senator and were searching lor mm
when he was shot by Robin Cooper
yesterday. In addition to the slate
ment made by Governor Patterson this
morning, which Is one of the few posi
tive bits of evidence so far, the police
, are at work on reports that Colonel
Cooper had sent written as well as
' verbal messages to Carmack, warning
hlrn to refrain on pain of death from
using Cooper's name in future eulto
. rials.
Warned bj Cooper's Daughter.
The efforts of the police In connee
tlon with Mr. Patterson's statement
are directed toward a rumor that Colo
nel Cooper hod told his married
daughter of his Intention to kill Car
mack, whereupon she is alleged to have
. called on the Governor by telephone
and asked him to use his good offices
with her father
The police are trying to ascertain if
it is true that the conversation held
tw the Governor with the Coopers. In
which he played the part of peace-"
maker and to which the Governor re
. fers in his statement, was the direct
result of the warning be Is said to
have received from Colonel Cooper's
daughter.
K. B. Craig, of Chattanooga, cred
ited with having had conferences with
both Carmack and Cooper regarding
the publication of the editorials in
question, said today that It was true
that he had conferred with both, but
that he had not, as reported, said to
Colonel Cooper that Carmack would not
again refer to him editorially.
Charged With Murder.
Two charges have been made against
each or the Coopers, murder and carry
ing concealed weapons against the son,
and accessory to murder and carrying
a pistol against the father. The latter
waived examination and was held In jail
-without bail.
In former years the men were dear
friends, Carmack having declared In duo-
l'c print that Cooper was his benefactor.
Kut friendship had been replaced by en
mity which was more noticeable since
Carmack became editor of the Tennes--
n, following the late primary. Then
the editorial attacks began which culmi
nated In yesterday's affair.
IIohIs Mourn for Carmack.
The body of Carmack was sent to
Columbia this afternoon. Impressive
st-enes at the Union Station marked the
departure. Members of the W C. T. I'.,
whose cause Mr. Carmack had ably
" championed, gathered at the station In
numbers and, as the casket was borne In,
Joined in singing "Lead, Kindly Light."
and "Stand for Jesus." A brief ad
dress was delivered by Rev. Ira
La mi ruth. Mrs. Carmack and a few
of her closest friends were on the spe
cial car which conveyed the body, and
the profusion of flowers was but another
of tite many testimonials of grief from
hosts of friends and sympathizers. All
during the morning hours a stream of
callers had entered the home of Frank
Lander, where the body lay.
The funeral party reached Columbia
about 4 o'clock this afternoon and was
met by a large concourse of friends. The
body was at once taken to the Carmack
home, where the funeral services will
be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock.
Young Cooper's Wound Serious.
The killing of Carmack was the absorb
ing topic in Nashville today and many
rumor were in circulation. Robin J.
Cooper, who fired tiie fatal shot and was
himself wounded, is under arrest at a
local hospital. He Is doing well, but
his physicians stated today that his
wound, which is near the collar bone,
is in a dangerous place and complica
tions were not unlikely. Colonel Cooper,
who was with his son when the shooting
occurred, was transferred from police
headquarters to the jail today. He had
nothing to say.
Friends of Carmack are loud In their
condemnation of the Coopers, and the
Tenneaseean. of which Mr. Carmack was
editor, th's morning both editorially and
In Its news column, made the unqualified
charge of murder.
lEPLORES CARMACK TRAGEDY
Governor Patterson Urged Cooper to
Take No Notice of Editorials.
MEMPHIS. Tnn.. Nov. 11. A Nashville
11s patch quoted Governor Patterson as
fitllowa with regard to the killing of ex
Vnited States Senator Edward W. Car
mack. who was shot and killed In a
street duel in that city by Robin Cooper,
a young attorney of Nashville:
"1 deeply deplore the unfortunate trag
edy. I saw both young Mr. Coopr and
h:s father in the morning and nothing
o"curnd to cause me to suppose that
any altercation would take place with
S-jiator Carmack or any one elpe. Colonel
Cooper had been very much aggrieved at
the use of his name by Senator Carmack.
and I learned4 that he had prepared a
note to send Senntor Carmack demanding
that in future his name be not used In
editorials, as hp was a mere private cit
izen and should not be subject to public
attack or ridicule.
"I strongly advised against sending the
note, as di'I his son, Robin Cooper, and
also Mr. Bradford, believing it might
t-ause a difficulty, and urgvd him to take
ito notice of the objectionable editorials.
Colonel Cooper awured me that he would
not spnd the note and there would be
nothing of It.
"Robin Cooper left the Maxwell House
with me in the morning and promised to
stay with his father, who seemed to be
oxeited. nnd prevent any possible trouble.
1 thought the whole matter was nded
until my return from the Capitol in the
evening, when I was shocked to learn of
what had occurred."

pounds of weight at the thug's throat.
He was shot and killed instantly. The
robber took only the money In the cash
register and was out In the street again
and gone Inside of a few seconds.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11. (Special. The attack of the Nightrlrters of Tennes
see, on two prominent cltiitens of that state Rankin and Taylor was one
of the most lawless acts eer committed In the United States. The attack
was due to the fact that those two men prominent lawyers had obtained
control of the land bordcrinir Reelfoot Iake, a favorite fishing ground, and
had warned squatters off their property. A letter was sent to them by a
well-known citiien named Carpenter asking them to a conference concerning
the sale of some of the property. Carpenter Is now charged with having
lured them to the little one-story hotel from which they were taken at
night and hurried into the woods to be lynched. Rankin was hanged, but
Taylor broke away, and. diving into a stream, swam, under a shower of bul
lets, to safety. The Governor of Tennessee was a personal friend to the two
men. and In the face of threats against his life, he went personally to the.
neighborhood of the crime, called out the militia, declared martial law. and
went about the arrest of the criminals. Many arrests were made, and one
of the men arrested Tid Burton confessed his part In the crime and im

LET HAGUE COURT DECIDE
GERMANY AXD FRANCE AGREE
OX CASA BLAXCA AFFAIR.
Refer Whole Dispute to Arbitration
Tribunal .Which W ill Say Who
Shall Apologize.
PARIS. Nov. 11. The Foreign Office
has been advised from Berlin that M.
Cambon, the French Ambassador, and
Haron von Wachter, the Acting Secretary
for Foreign AfTairs, signed an agree
ment in settlement of the Casa Blanca
Incident.
The formula of settlement, as now ac
cepted, consists of two declarations. The
first Is practically identical with the one
submitted by Ambassador tamoon last
week and provides that, after the ex
change of expressions of mutual regret
that the Incident occurred, the entire
Question of law and facts shall be sub
mitted to the arbitration of The Hague
tribunal; this in view of the contradic
tions In the French and German reports
of the incident. The second declaration
Is that the country whose agents are
adjudged at fault shall apologize to the
other.
While there is ro disposition to crow
over this French victory, great satisfac
tion is expressed that Germany finally
has recognized the justice of the French
contention that there could be no dis
avowal of the acts of French agents at
Casa Blanca In advance of arbitration.

panion in the automobile ride, walked
quickly Into the hotel when they eaw

the Chinese Minister was greatly per
turbed.

he liked, to make all the speed he could
get out of his machine, said Mr. Bald
win, who was a member of the party
and added: "I' guess he did."

College Team Gets Touch-Down
in Each Half.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 11. (Special.)
Albany College won the championship
of the non-conference colleges of Ore
gon here yesterday by defeating Wil
lamette University by a score of 11 to 4.
The game was hard-fought through
out. -Willamette kicked off and by
blocking Albany's punts, kept the ball
in Albany territory until Sullivan ne
gotiated a pretty drop kick. With this
i score against them, Albany commenced
a whirlwind offense and with long
runs by Barry and Ward swept down
the field and Barry went through for
a ' touchdown. Rogoway kicked the
goal. The half ended 6 to 4.
Albany scored again in the second
half when Gibbons captured a Willam
ette fumble on the Salemites' 15-yard
line and Albany bucked it over in four
downs. Rogoway scored the touch
down. He missed the goal. Willam
ette then braced through the magni
ficent defensive work of Sullivan, who
made almost all the tackles In the
last half, and there was no more scor
ing. Ward's star defense and Barry's
steady gains contributed largely to
Albany's victory. Willamette excelled
In punting, but was otherwise out
classed. Officials , Hockenberry, of
Portland, refree; Marquam, of Albany,
