Troubles MANY SHOTS WERE EXCHANGED The Kansas city Elections Brinir Ahont a Conflict Between Opposing; Factions Associated Press. Kansas City, April .There was riot this afternoon between A. P. A. and antl-A. P. A. politicians. One man was killed, two mortally wounded and several seriously wounded by stray bul lets. The trouble was over swearing- in deputy marshals, who attacked the A. P. A. workers. Mike Calahan, a well known politi cian. Catholic, and supporter of Frank Johnson for mayor, was killed. Jerry Pate, a deputy constable, was shot In the head and will die. J. B. Rosnaha waa Bhot through the kidneys and will die. Pat Fleming waa shot in the Bhoul- der. Jerry Fowler was also shot. John McGowan was shot, but not seriously. Eight arrests have been made. It cannot be stated which side' is re sponsible for the fray, as each charges the other with being the full cause of all the trouble. More than 200 shots were exchanged between the combat ants In less than that many seconds The riot was the culmination of a bit ter feeling which has been manifested by action and words ever since the polls opened In the morning. The two an tagonistic elements were solidly divided in their choice of candidates for mayor The riot was the climax of a series of smaller riots that took place at other places early In the day between the same opposing religious factions. Only an hour before it was known that John Geoley, a stonemason, who was op posed to the A. P. A., was shot In the back and forehead by William Henry Walker at a voting place at the corner of Fifth and Campbell streets. The A P. A. supported Webster Davis, repub lican candidate for mayor. Harry Ar thur, one of Prior's followers, gives the following version. He was standing on a bridge close to the scene of the riot, when Jerry Pate, an A. P. A. man, and another man came on the other end of the bridge in a buggy, with four men running behind him. When Pate reach ed the spot where Arthur was standing, he jumped out of the buggy with a gun In his hand, and grabbing hold of Harry McGovern said: "Here's one of the men we want. I've got a warrant for your arrest" I went up to Pate and said: "You cannot take me." Jim Todd stepped out, too, and said: "No. you can't take me, either." "I'm deputy constable, and you've got to go," said Pate, and turning to me and the men In the buggy, said, "Read that warrant." Just then Mike Callahan came run ning towards us from the northorn end of the bridge. He ran up to Pate and asked him what right he had to carry a pistol, and demanded to see his per mit. Then the two men exchanged an gry words, and then Pate aimed at Callahan and fired. Callahan returned the shot, and then I and the rest of us began to shook I shot Pate. The affair Is being heatedly discussed at most all the public resorts in the city tonight, and feeling runs very high. POLLARD 'S. BRECKENRIDGE. Testimony Regarding the Typewritten Letters. Washington, April 3. Interest In the Breekenridge trial was Intensified to day by the prosecution placing on the stand Louise Lowell, a stenographer, who testified In the matter of alleged correspondence with Madeline Pollard. She said sh copied letters on a type writer for defendant, returning the let ter and copy In an envelope addressed to the plaintlfY. She produced a mem orandum btok showing the entries. The first communication began: "My Iienr Sister Louise.'' ' The demurrer of the defendant's law yer against tha admission of this evi dence brought a delicate case of law be fore the Judge. It was conceded that documents might be brought Into use and a witness questioned upon It in cross-examination from which to lay a basis for contradiction, but whether the existence of a missing document could be ascertained and the defendant asked whether he wrote It, waa another ques tion, a question which Judge Bradley decided in the affirmative, after listen ing to the argument and consulting au. thoritlea. He hHd. however, that wlt ntxtu: C'QUld ba asked to give their rec ollection of the contents of the letters. Accordingly, Miss Louise Lowell, who conducted a business in typewriting and Ftenotrraphy at the capital (n th var 1884, and was discovered by plalmllT Inst Sunday, stated'that sh had. copied mys terious letters upon the typewriter for the cloriM, and had also nddreswd for him a packnge of envelopes to "Miss Pollard, North Upier street, Lex ington, Ky.," keeping the address in a notebook, which she produced, but which did not entirely substantiate her statement, because It seemed to have been used In 1S87 and 1888. Miss Pollard apieared In a speaking part once more to testify she had re ceived the letters in question. During her brief appearance the law yers had their hands full endeavoring to make her confine herself to questions directed, for la her untrammeled utter ance, when questioned before, she scored Home of the most telling points for her side. Thereafter the program was a eo$ilnuance of fencing between the congressman from Kentucky and the ex-congressman from Indlnana. Both Breekenridge and ex-Judge Wll son are luwyers of brilliant parts, and no exhibition of Its kind approaching the thrust and parry of two men when pitted as examiner and witness has been heard for years. It was enjoyed by an audience worthy of Its merits, for besides, the usual varying corps of congressional members and lawyers, there were well known Mehodlst clergy men In the audience. Col. Breekenridge made denials of the testimony of Miss Lowell. ON THE MARCH. San Francisco, April 3.
