the 17-year-old robber of Lawrence,
Kan, who twice within the last month
robbed the Eudora State Bank, murdered
a policeman, shot another man and
fatally wounded himself In an attempt
to commit suicide near here today, died
late tonight.
Bullock's attempted suicide followed
fcls second robbery of the bank here
today and his shooting; of Fred Starr,
cashier of the Kaw' Valley State Bank,
who was In the Eudora State Bank with
his day's clearings.
Wantonly Shoots Cashier.
Accompanied by William McKay. 15
years of aire, of Jacksonville. Fla.,
Bullock held up the bank. Although
Starr offered no resistance. Bullock shot
him through the Jaw. Snatching; more
than S00. Bullock fled, followed by his
companion. Each youth had two re
volvers. Harry Wilson, cashier of the robbed
bank, spread the alarm and a crowd
of cltlsens. armed with shotguns, rifles
and revolvers, pursued the boy robbers
across the fields. In attempting to
swim the Kaw River the boys lost
ground and a few minutes later the
mob was at their heels. McKay sur
rendered, but Bullock, wrenching the
revolver from his falling partner's
hands, sped on into a patch of woods.
John Miller, a farmer, unconnected
with the pursuit, stepped Into Bullock's
path and the boy. thinking him an
enemy, fired. His allots missed Miller
and the posse, seeing the youth was
ready to shoot, fired a score of shots.
Tries Suicide lhen Cornered.
Bullock returned the fire. Then,
realizing that he was about to be cap
tured, he shot himself through the head.
Meantime the crowd threatened to
lynch McKay. Officers hurried him to
Lawrence in an automobile and placed
him in JalL
Bullock's previous holdup of the Eu
dora bank and the murder of Police
man Wilson Pringle took place on Oc
tober 11. While in charge of D. S.
Wood, a Deputy Sheriff of Lawrence,
who arrested the boy on a charge of
robbing a second-hand store. Bullock
drew two revolvers and forced Wood
and Cashier Wilson into the bank vault.
Snatohlng between $800 and $1000. he
fled. That nUtht Pringle was shot to
death while attempting to arrest Bul
lock at his home at Lawrence. Efforts
to locate Bullock were useless.
Enlists McKay as Partner.
Until McKay made a written state
ment of his connection with Bullock
today his whereabouts were not known.
According to McKay. Bullock has been
living at a fashionable hotel in Jack
sonville under the name of 'J. A.
Donaldson."
"Bullock, whom I knew as Donaldson,
picked me up' in Jacksonville and en
tertained me royally," said ' McKay.
When he told me he was a desperado
and had robbed a bank I thought it
would be fine to be a real robber like
him.
"One day Bullock told me he wanted
me to go to Kansas City with him, as
he knew where there was a little bank
near there with only one man in it
that we could rob without any trouble.
"We left Jacksonville Sunday and
arrived In Kansas City Tuesday. We
went to several little-towns around
Kansas City and finally arrived at
Lenate. Kan., two miles from Eudora,
yesterday. He gave me some ammuni
tion and two revolvers and told me
we would rob the bank today."
"Real KobbeV Fights to Last."
McKay said he wanted to surrender
soon after he and his pal left the bank
they had robbed, when he heard the
mob at their heels.
"No. I'll not surrender." he said Bul
lock told him. "A real robber fights on
until the last. I will die before I wil
give up."
All of the money taken from the
bank today was found in Bullock's
pockets. He was brought here uncon
scious. Fred Starr's wound is said not
to be serious.

ment, as It is understood she will leave
here for good within the next day or two.

go not like the quarry slave at night."
WOMEN GO AFTER VOTES
Fair Ones File Candidacy In Seattle
for School Board. -
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 12. (Special.)
Two Seattle women have filed their
candidacy for directors on the school
board and It is not certain that there
will not be others. With two active
suffragette clubs flourishing in this city
and a number of radical socialist organi
zations, to say nothing of several labor
onions, composed entirely of women,
there is every indication that the regis
tration of women will be larger than ever
before in the history of the city, and a
hot fight is expected.
The two candidates are Mrs. Samuel
Sadler, who has the support of the Debs
wing of the Socialist party, which polled
more than 1000 votes in Seattle at the
Presidential .election; Mrs. Peter Bet
tinger, wife of a well-known real estate
broker, and herself prominent in women's
club circles.
"More spelling and less art" will be
the slogan of Mrs. Bettinger's campaign.
Mrs. Bettlnger was hostess for the
New England Club during the Exposi
tion. THIRTY SCHOONERS ASHORE

COMERS' DOWNFALL SLATED
Old Captains Get Little Credit
for Recent Victories.
TAMMANY ROUT COMPLETE
Osborn, Shepard, Van Wyck and
Chanler Loom as Possibilities.
Hearst Holds Balance
of Power.
BY LLOYD F. LONEROAN.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. (Special.) Be
fore the new year is well under way, the
probabilities are that the bulk of our old
reliable political leaders will be forced
Into the background. Things are already
shaping themselves that way.
Particularly is this so in the Democratic
camp, where the men who took part in
the Saratoga conference a few months
ago are beginning to sit up and take no
tice. The more they analyze the vote
cast on the first Tuesday of the month,
the happier they grow, and they declare
with reason that the time has come for
a new deal all around.
Before the end of the month a general
meeting of the Democratic League (the
official name of the Saratoga conference)
will be held, and its promoters promise
that hard work will be the rule from that
data on.
State Leaders Reject Murphy.
Since the Buffalo State Convention of
1906 convened, Charles F. Murphy has ab
solutely dominated the Democratic party
In New York. He named Hearst for Gov
ernor. . Two years later he tried to pro
mote Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, and the
delegates to the National Convention were
men he picked out. Up-state leaders who
refused to take orders from Fourteenth
street were pitched "through the sky
light," and the State Democracy was the
most pitiful and despicable so-called or
ganization in the United States.
Tammany may keep Murphy in power
here, although that Is doubtful. But any
attempt on the part of Murphy to exer
cise the powers of state leadership will
be firmly -suppressed. In fact, it Is hard
ly believed that he will even attempt to
do so.
Politically, Murphy is a broken-down
panhandler, without a cent of patronage
or a friend; his ally, "Joe" Cassidy, in
Queens, has been thrown into the discard
by the voters who were asked to elect
him president of that borough; in Brook
lyn there is a new and united organiza
tion, fortified by patronage, looked upon
with approval by Gaynor, and a unit
against Tammany dictation or interfer
ence; 12 up-state cities elected Demo
cratic mayors this month, and all these
executives are said to be antagonistic to
Murphy. Even in the paper organizations
of the rural counties, which Tammany
had controlled, the disposition is to work
against the Tiger, because it is popular,
and also owing to ths fact that it prom
ises the only possibility of success.
. Conners Also Slated to Go.
State Chairman "Fingy" Conners saved
his Mayor in Buffalo, but lost all the rest
of his ticket. "Fingy" was put in his
present office when Hearst and Murphy
made their Gubernatorial deal. It was an
open secret that Murphy Intended to oust
Conners next year. It is also an -open se
cret that the "reorganizers" believe Con
ners should confine his partisan activities
to the City of Buffalo. Under present

Investigation Shows Oriental Art
Treasures Bring More at Auc
tions Than Otherwise.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 12. (Special.)
Japanese Ingenuity and cunning are
credited with putting one over on no less
a distinguished personage than President
Taft during his visit to Seattle and the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition recent
ly. When the President was making the
tour of the various buildings he tarried
kmg and gazed longingly at the exhibits
In the. Japanese building. As he passed
one of the art stores he was intercepted
by a dapper little brown man who almost
wiped the floor with his face in the
course of a bow and with Oriental cour
tesy asked permission of the Nation's
Executive to present to him a vase said
to- be of cloisonne. The Taft smile ex
panded into a grin and the Japanese pro
duced the ornament, which was as big as
a garden Tower vase and as green as a
shamrock.
Treasury agents during the past week
have looked up the Invoice on the alleged
$5000 vase presented to the President, and
find that the vase passed through the
Custom-House Invoiced at J53.80. The in
vestigation was made for the purpose of
determining whether or not goods offered
for sale at Japanese auctions which have
enjoyed a mushroom growth in Seattle
during the past few months, are really
art treasures as asserted, and In most
instances the invoices show that the
goods invariably bring more at auction
than they would do under ordinary con
ditions. The man who gave President Taft a
gift in the exploitation of his wares has
been rebuked by an agent of the gov
ernment. The wily Jap only smiled.
ANTI-SALOON COUPLE FREE
Ex-State Superintendent and Wife
Given Joint Decree.
SEATTLE, Wash., . Nov. 12. (Special.)
Royal W. Raymond, ex-State Superin
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, and
his wife, Cora, were granted a joint de
cree of divorce today by Judge John F.
Main, on the grounds of incompatibility
of temper. There is on child to the
union, a boy, 12 years of age. The cus
tody of the boy is placed with the mother
until he is 16 years of age and then wltn
the father until he attains hie majority.
There is no alimony and the decree does
not mention any property rights.
Mrs. Raymond is now in the East. The
couple was married at Newburyport, in
1894.
Raymond took an active part in the
fight before the last Legislature for local
option. During the campaign a report
was given wide circulation that his wife
had sued blm for divorce, but it was de
nied by both parties. Subsequently Ray
mond resigned from the service of the
Anti-Saloon League and became a mem
ber of the publicity department of the
Exposition. He is now engaged in pub
licity work in this city.
S. P. MAY REACH LAKE VIEW
Eastern Oregon Town Hears That
Line to Alturas Has Been Sold. -
LAKEVIEW, Or., Nov. 12. (Special.)
There Is an apparently well-founded
rumor here that the Nevada-California-Oregon
Railroad, which now connects
Reno, Nevada, Alturas, Cal., and Inter
mediate points, has been sold to the
Southern Pacific Company for a large
sum, and will be extended by July 15
to Lakeview, its intended destination.
The deal is said to include complete
rights of way to this place and ter
minal property acquired by the N. C.
O. recen tly.
The Southern Pacific will convert the
present road into a broad-gauge and
connect at Amedee with its proposed
Fernly and Lassen road, which, in turn,
will connect with the Goose . Lake
Southern, by which it will reach Sac
ramento Valley at Chico.
PORTLAND ' BOY CAPTAIN
Hamilton Corbett Thought Sure to
Lead Harvard Eleven.
BOSTON. Mass., Nov. 12. (Special.)
Hamilton F. Corbett. of Portland, is
practically certain to be chosen as the
next captain of the Harvard, football
team. Corbett is now playing left half
back on the team and the well-informed
in the University's athletic circles declare
there is little question but that he will
be picked rather than Wayland M. Minot,
the big fullback, who has been talked
of as a candidate.
CorKett, they say, is the logical choice.
He is a hard and fast player and can get
away a longer punt than any man on the
team.
AUTO UPSETS, KILLING MAN
Friends Try to Raise Car, but It
Falls on Prostrate Form.
FRESNO, Cal.. Nov. 12. James Stat
ham, 50 years old, a pioneer resident of
this city, was instantly killed this after
noon near Selma when an automobile
which he was driving overturned in a
ditch and pinned him under the steering
wheel.
Two other men were with Statham at
the time, but both escaped. These men
endeavored to extricate him and lifted
the car partially up but their strength
gave out and they were forced to let
the heavy weight fall on Statham's pros
trate body.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. (Specials
Through a verbal report rendered to
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeag'i
this afternoon by Marion De Vrles, of
the Board of General Appraisers, and
D. Frank Lloyd, Deputy Assistant Attorney-General
for the new Customs
Court, it was learned that the United
States has been getting the worst of
it in the matter of customs revenue
at the leading ports of entry on both
oceans. To the story of corruption and
Improper administration at New York,
which have caused the Government to
lose millions of dollars, is now added
a story of undervaluation affecting
imports entering at San Francisco, the
losses from which are tremendous, al
though no actual figures have been
given.
Overhaul Every Custom-House.
With the latest knowledge gained re
garding great losses suffered by the
Treasury on goods coming into the coun
try from both sides, Mr. MacVeagh is
aroused more than ever to the necessity
for a thorough house-cleaning with re-
spect to the whole customs service.
There is to be an overhauling of affairs
In - every custom-house In the country,,
those on the inland lakes to be delved
into as well as those located at ports on
