CROWD SEES THE SHOOTING

Mission Worker Declare from Pul
pit Tliat He Is Ready to Lay Down
Life for Clirlst at Any Moment-
Statement Incites Crazed Man to Do
Murder Shoots Maker of Sta le
nient and his colleague Before 100
Church People and Escapes.
Pittsburg, April 11. A sermon on
martyrdom, In which Frank Skala,
an editor and prominent mission
worker, had declared himself willing
to lay down his life for the Christian
cause, was followed yesterday by his
assassination In a highly sensational
manner and the shooting down also of
a fellow church leader, John Gay.
Arm in. arm, the two missionaries
were leaving the little Congregational
church In Woods Run, a suburb, at
the head of more than 100 foreigners.
A raggedly dressed and collarless man
poked his way through the crowd and
when he was only a step behind the
leaders he pressed a revolver to Ska
la's head and fired twice.
Tho bullet took effect In the Jaw
nd temple and In the midst of his
followers Skala fell dead.
Assassin Heard Sermon.
Gay. who threw up his right hand,
3 If to ward off the weapon, wiis
struck first In the thumb and then
a second bullet was burled In his
head.
He fell unconscious across the body
of his colleague.
For some moments the assascln
stood over his prey In a crazed con
templation of the deed, flourishing
the revolver while the panic stricken
crowd fled to shelter behind posts and
doorways.
The madman was Jan Radowltch, a
character known to most of the mis
sion for his shiftless habits, slovenly
dress and radical opinions. A mo
ment before ho had meekly read from
. Juvenile leaflets In the Sunday school
lead by Skala, previously he had sat
In a back pew of the church during
the regular sermon; and at tho com
mencement of the services Skala had
shaken his hand In greeting. In all
this Rndowltch had given' no warn
ing of his murderous Intent.
There were no police in sight when
tlie murder was done, the church peo
ple were too frightened to seize the
assassin and after the wild flourish of
his weapon and stamping of his feet
on the bodies he made off and was
soon lost to view. A large armed pos
se of police, detectives and church
people was soon In pursuit, but up to
a Inte hour last night had found no
trace of him.-

"Hello, Glfford! This is fine." was
Roosevelt's exclamation today on
meeting Plnchot. The meeting, which
took place at the home of Mrs.
Roosevelt's sister, is looked upon as
portentlous. It Is believed Roosevelt's
future political action will be guided
by the information 'furnlsnd him by
Pinchot.
Plnchot and Roosevelt clasped
hands like long lost brothers. After
a few minutes conversation, the two
started on a stroll Into the mountains
lasting for two hours. On their re
turn both declined to give out a state,

peared In excellent spirits after his'
walk with Roosevelt.
Ex-President Roosevelt yesterday
afternoon opened the new boulevard
which has been named after him, and
accepted honorary citizenship of the
ancient and historical city of Porto
Maurlzlo, amid a popular enthusiasm
such as that which marked his arriv
al. According to those who had long
memories, never before have local, re
ligious and all other differences been
so completely obliterated as upon this
occasion.
The carriage containing Mr.' and
Mrs. Roosevelt and the mayor was
pelted with nosegays tied with rib
bons, bearing the words "Long "Live
Roosevelt" until It was overflowing
with flowers. When they reached the
foot of the terraced hill opposite the
port, whore the cheering rent the air,
the ex-president and his wife were
smiling and looked happy. A stone,
bearing the name of the street "Vallle
Theodore Roosevelt" was then un
veiled and Mr. Roosevelt broke the
flowered phaln that was stretched
agross the driveway and amid a new
burst of "vivas" led Mrs. Roosevelt up
the drive to the hotel. There the may

proud the municipality was to con

case upon a cushion covered with the
American flag.

EUGENE-TO-COAST
LINE IS SURVEYED
Eugene, Ore , April 11. A crew of
railroad surveyors Is working west
from Eugene. J. F. Mounce, who is
directing the work, says it is locating
a railroad from Eugene to the coast,
but further than that he will not talk.
The crew' lias been at work three
weeks. Mounce is said to have se
cured the right of way for a distance
of five miles out of Eugene, with the
exception of that through two or
three small farms.
Mounce came to Eugene last fall
and announced that he was promoting
a new railroad. Little attention was
directed toward him until he began
the work of surveying three weeks
ago. Mounce applied to the city
council of Springfield recently for a
franchise to build a railway through
that city but his application was turn
ed down. Immediately after that he
began his survey, and aa he appeared
to have plenty of money to pay his
men and all necessary expenses, peo
ple think that some big company is
behind him.
There Is a report that when the
Lane County Asset company began
actual construction of the road from
Eugene to the coast the Southern Pa
cific company intends to begin work
on a parallel line over practically the
same route, and it is believed by some
that Mounce may be working for the
Harriman road.
