EPERATE ROBBER 111U$TS DWN FIVE PURSUREKS IN A NEW YORK HOTEL . ILLS WOMAN AND SELF iesder of Conspriacy to Loot Houses Proves Desperate When Cornered by Officers of the Law and Shoots Five Men Who Were in the Act of Arresting Him. A man and a woman stood in a small room of a Raines law Hotel in the Bronx, New York on Monday aight and deliberately shot down three detectives and two other men who were trying to place the pair un der arrest. After emptying the 11 ehambers of a -large automatic re velver, reinforced by shots from an ordinary revolver in the hands of his -roman companion and -probably fa tally wounding four of the men shot down, the man shot and killed the woman and then put a bullet through his own head, dying Instantly. This is the outlne -of one of the most serious shooting. affrays which the detectives of that city have run to for years- s far as the confict ng stories of the shooting had been sitted. -- The dead man was known by sev ral naus. having registered at t ' hotel ,Joseph Vogel. The police declare that he was a Pole named Fheres Doragieskis. The woman with him had registered as Lottie Vogel. Voga was about 48 years old and thedwoman about 25. he detectives were on the trail of pair, suspecting them of having -aimc:ompdces In a diamond rob bua for which Sophie Beckiendor 'a- ' dm este had been held for the fury today. The women who hf3 lost the jewels traced the girl r toVogels house and told the detective .:ot her discovery. After the taxicab - the Vogels had sought lodging -*the Elsmere hotel, at Cortland avenue and One Hundred Sixty-first ?"'street in the Bronx. Martin F. Fay. /- central office detective, and John Man and Louis Gerade, private de fectIVeS, -went to the hotel in search Louis Moendschein, the proprietor, told of the couple having arrived in a taxicab early In the evening, and ordered William Butler, a waiter, to show the detectives to the Vogels' r room. Vogel opened the door In response to a summons and as Allen forced his way In, declaring that the couple were under arrest, Vogel -struck the <- detective over the heae with a black jack and-then grasped a magazine pistol which lay upon the bed. His trst bullet struck Allen In the head and he fell probably fatally hurt. a. and Gerade rushed into the room, followed by Moendschein and 'Butler. It Is declared that they did not fire a shot, but-expected to seize Allen's assassin. They were not quiekenough. Vogel let go one shot , after another, nearly every one tak ing effect. 'Fay and Moendschein both received probably fatal wounds Ia the abdomen. Gerade was shot In the lag and back and Butler received a bad wound in the hip. The woman, also armed. had fired several shots. d omeof'whchlitis beliaved hitthe detectives, Vogel turned on his woman and shot. She was shot through the ab domen and soon expired. Vogel made quick 'work of himself by putting the last bullet fro~m his gun funto his S head. -At the hospital to which all of the wounded were taken It Is sal-' probably all except Butler would die. At a late hour the two trunks and to suit eases. which the couple had taken to the hotel were removed to a pellee station but the stolen jew dtry was not found. Thea police say that in trailing the Wgel pair the detectives were prob - ably running down a completely or en d scheine for robbing resi duees throughout the upper West The -indictment on which the B reekendorf, girl was held. charged her with numerous robber'es of jew -mls, eaonting to several thousand dollars. According to the police the girl - . broke down Monday night and con fessed that the Vogels were with her. - and It was to them she had given the stolen articles. The plan of opere * tionu was for the girl to -advertise for a position as a domestic and as soon as she had obtained It to rob her em ployer's home. - Is the Republican Party Dead? The veteran editor, Henry Watter son believes that the 'Republican par. - ty' is dead. In an editorial, printed - In the Louisville Courier-Journal. Mr. Watterson says: "Tuesday was a proud day for Democracy. Nothing -as wanting to give It substance. color and, effect. The old saying that - t never rains but It pours was vei ned. Mr. Tilden once declared that --Ii requires a revolution to loosen the Iron grip of the Republicans and to secure a national victory for the De moerata. Tuesday was a revolution - 'Ground swell,' exclaimed Hop Price on-a memorable occasion. 'It wans n earthquake.' After the overwheln' tng triumph of the Democratic ticket the most decisive feature of this rev - olution-Is the annihilation of the Re publican party. Its defeat Is cren greater than that sustained by the old-line whigs in the presidentia' election of 1852, when Scott, -the whig nominee, carried but four * states. The old whig party. be it said -.had never any such hold as the mod. --era Republican party. That makce the collapse of the latter by contrast --the more pregnant and surprisIng. "The whigs had hopes of the las: The Republicans can have none. But they made bold to stand ae-ainst the world. To-day there is none so pC to do them reverence. WnnI its a' mor on, instinct with life. its lines of battle, Its flags and trophie -yet visible, the G. 0. P. sinks as ? great wall of stone and Iron before e' tornado Into a heap of shapeless ruins.

The poultry Department of the At anta Journal is edited by a man I(nown to old Orangeburgers, Mr. J. G. Posteil, who for several years was southern depot agent in this city. dr. Postell under the name of "Uncle Dudiey" has made good in his de partment, and we reproduce for the benefit of all poultry enthusiasts one of his recent articles on the "Game Fowl." His article reads: Every nation, as far back as his :ory goes, except the Japanese and ;ewish people, have bred and fought ame fowls, and among all the na ,ions of the earth today, except, as far as I have been able to fin ., the Japanese "fight chickens" still. So far as I have been able to ascertain Enland and the United States, or the states that compose the union, are the nly nations that have passed laws hat prohibit "cock fighting," .and the yeople of these nations have always :ought them in spite of the laws hich prohibit it. The Latin race to ay in Europe and South America tre the greatest cock fighters that lave ever lived in the world. Thous nds of dollars out of the South American republic, are sent to durope and the United States today tor pit game fowls and American )reeders reap a harvest of good dol ars in supplying the demand for high :lass pit games. The history of the game fowl reaches prehistoric times, for among ,he Persians and other Asiatic people his fowl can be traced by tradition to over 1.000 years before the Christian era. It has been established beyond a doubt that the game fowl of today has its origin in the jungle of India. yhey came down to us. through the Greeks from Persia, from tne Greeks to the Romans, which latter nation distributed them all over Europe. Game fowls, however, are found in -he South Sea Islands and the Islands -f the Pacific. but they are evidently of different origin. The jungle fowl Is a small lightly built, small boned fowl, very active ani quick- in its ac tions. The South Sea and Pacific fowl is large in size and bone and low in action and lacking in energy. Cock - fighting began in England about the time of the Roman inva =ion and. although it has been pro hibited by law several times since 1191, In. the reign of Henry 11., 11 was practised in spite of the laws passed against it, for several of th l' s ini whose relen it was made I] legal indulged in the practice. Ever ood King .Twn s I owepd game fowh I engaged in cock fighting. The an aient Greeks and Romans used bone brass and iron sur s on the gam( fowls that they fought." No breed of fowls cn earth has re eived more painstakng and carefu ,ttention in their breeding than ha he rame fowl. This careful breeding egan in Persia, where cock fghtini vas practiced when Alexander th, treat conquered that country, and 1 -u unbroken line continues down tt he present time. The result of thi .ireful breeding Is exemplified in thi ;ame fowl of today. It is manifestly impossible to ra t history of the hundreds of differen weeds of these fowls that have fron t~e to time appeared in Englar I snt Amercia. They have been bred in al -olors. Some of them. like the Pyl and Duck-winlg varieties, are amoni ~he most beautiful of all other breed nd yet this has been accomplishe without in any degree affecting ther high standard as to gameness ant usefulness as fighters In the pit. 11 England the Earl of Derby games fo ears hac~e stood at the head of al ame .fowls there. and today thel ~lood courses throurh many of ou Amercan breeds. Pr~for to the civi war the Rhett .game of South Caro ina stood first among the games o the south. Hundreds of other note< varieties have since come forwar' both in England and America tha have proved their superiority to an: of the games of former times. Now, we have been looking at t grand bird only as a fighting machine nd not as a fancy or as a utilit: owl. There is no fowl in existence to-da: that surpasses in beauty the gain 'owl. I have no reference to the fow :hat is to-day bred in America as how bird, with its ridiculous long ~es, its unsightly small, narrov hody, its long neck, capped wi'h ' 'ong, small head, for this fowl is use 'ess, except as a fancy monstrosit 'hat some people think adds to It beauty, but I am talking about. th 'owl known generally as the pit gamn -a fowl of grand apnearance tha enotes5 in its every action that It I without a peer on all Doultry down, 'owl that for ages has been bred 01 'he Darwinian idea, "The survival o 'he fittest." with a pedigree that it lost in antiouitv. but that has comn o us throurh all his past generation: with its chief characteristics just at they were thousands of years ago.

BOMB SPREADS TERROR. HAD INFERNAL MACINE Holds Possession of Los Angeles Po lice Station for Hour-Causes Two Courts in Building to Adjourn and ..People for Blocks Around to Flee for Lives. Armed with an infernal machine, containing enough dynamite to de stroy an entire city block, a bottle of uitroglycerine and a 45-calibre revol ver, a masked maniac took possession of the central police station at Los Angeles Tuesday and held it for more than an hour, while hundreds covered with cloth. It was strapped around his shoulders and resembled of occupants of the building and -hose for blocks around, panic-strick en, sought safety in distance. When Detective fames Hosick knockei the man unconscious with a leather "billy", after slipping up be hind him, the fuse of the infernal machine was automatically ignited, but Detective Samuel L. Brown grab bed the box, with Its fuse sharply spluttering, and hurled it into the street; stick of high power dyna mite scattered over the pavement, while hundreds of spectators stood apparently paralyzed by fright. Through a freak of chance there was rio explosion, and Brown continued kicking the sticks of dynamite and 'umping on the fuse until he had broken the connection and extin guished the fire. Manacled to a cot in the receiving hospital, the would-be dynamiter, who gave his name as Albert Henry Davis, is suffering with several severe scalp wounds, which police surgeons say are not serious. Davis entered the outer office of 'chief of Police Sebastian Tueslay af 'ernoon, his face and head were com pletely covered with a grotesque -nask. In his arms was a large box a small hand organ. Police Sergt. R. C. Hilf, who es nected a practical joke, asked the man what he wanted. "I've got enough dynamite In here 'o blow us all into eterni'j." he said. 'and I want you to sen-i for the high est off'cial of the Soutnern Pacific Railroad. I mean huciness. and t jou don't believe It try, to take this -way from me. My hand is fasten c'. in this box and if I pull it out bug-we all die." A hole had been cut in the box -nd the occupants saw for the first -ime that the man's left hand wac "dden in the box. They began to realize that it was no joke. Davis then walked into th -iffice of Police Secretary E. C.

"and if this this~ goes off, there's going to be a whoa' ot of them go up quick.'' After Davis had held complete pior ession of the station for nearly aa our and a half, a plan was devise 'y the detectives to tray him. While Secretary Snively carried or 'he conversation with the mani. etective Hosick tip-toed from th -uter room, which was at Davle ack, and struck him on the hear' --vith a "black jack."

Citizens of This State in Washington Wondering Who Will Be Chosen For Various Federal Places. The Washington correspondent of The State says with a good sharp pointed pencil, a clean sheet of pa per, and a long pole that will reach :he juicy fruit up towards the top. there is nothing more interesting right now than speculation as to who will get the rig fat joos uder the new Wilson adninistration when the plur tree shakes in the early spring breezes of 1913. People in the South are wondering what the great landslide of November ,>, when the G. O. P. was put out of business is going to bring them. Wili their political stockings be filled with the choicest of dainties in the way of federal appointments for distribu tion to the faithful? Will there be reward for all who have waited pa tietly since they witnessed the sad sight of Grover Cleveland leaving the White House, and when will the cut ting of the pie begin? Not only this, but what kind of pie is it? What's its flavor and incident ally, what will be the emoluments that go along on the side. Just a little figuring with pencil and paper will show what the faith tul Demoerats of the South will get before the year 1913 is many weeks old. South Carolina will draw down just about $100,000 a year when all the cobs now held by Republicans are filled by Democrats. A Democrat will succeed Ernest Cochran as district ttorney and will receive $4.000; likewise there will be an assistan district attorney. Then will come collector of the port at Charleston worth about $1,800 a year, and post master at that same place, which, too is a good job. Add to this about ?') small cities in the State where the rostmasters are paid each year sal aries averaging 02.000 and 60 where they are paid $1,000 and you will have a pay roll of more than $100. 000 a year. It must be remembe-sd that the South Carolinians were among the most faithful of all the Democratic workers. South Carolinians here are won dering who will succeed Postmastel Harris at Charleston, Floyd at Spar .anburg, Young at Union, Hicks a1 'Gaurens, Huggins at Columbia, Web ster it Orangeburg, and officials else where throughout the State. Thes are all good offices and the pay is at tractive, considering that the dutie are in the, main most pleasant. Equally much discussed here is the iuestion of who will be made distric attorney and assistant district attor ney and collector of the port at Char leston. Ernest Cochran and his as sistant will have to go as will E. W Durant of Charleston. So far as th.. appointment of post masters is concerned there seems t< be little hope for any Republican t< hold over, no matter how efficient hi, =ervices may have been to the patron! -f his offce. President-elect Wilsor intends to leave the naming of al such officials to the members of the house. and this shows most clears: -hat where a district has a Democra tic cotgressman the future postmas es in his district are likely to be o hat persuasion. There are many good official: among the South Carolina postmas :es and dasubtless they have mnos generally rendered faithful service ut indications point to tne fact tha hey will have to give way to the nei -rder of things early next year.

Second Lieutenant Kennedy, ef Sixth Cavalry, an Orangeburg County Boy to be Thus Honored. The Washington correspondent of the New York World says three ju nior odicers and an enlisted man of the Sixth cavalry are speeding across country from Presidio, San Francisco tc report, by order of President Taft, at the White House at 2:30 o-clock Saturday afternoon next. The officers are First Lieut. Archie Miller and Second Lieuts. Arthur H. Wilson and John T. Kennedy, all of of the Sixth Cavalry. The enlisted man is Quartermaster-Sergt. Joseph Henderson, of Troop B, Sixth Caval ry. President Taft will pin upon the :eft breast of each of the four men what to the British soldier is the Victoria Cross-the medal of honor bestowed by the President by authori :y of Congress. Medals of honor are only awarded to men of the army who "perform specific deeds f gallantry in action." There are now in the ac tive service only about thirty-five of ficers and enlisted men who have been awarded me.dals of honor. What the men who are to be re warded by the medals of honct- next Saturday did stamped them as he roes. It was July 4, 1909 that the af ;air occurred, on the island of Patian :a the Phillippine archipelago. All of the dattoes in 1908 had promised to be good. But one turned pearl pi rate. Maj. Gen. Wood sent out strict Orders to the soldiers on the island of solo to get this pirate chief, whose name was Jikiri. It was a long, hard campaign, but ended in in victory and Lieuts. Wilson and Kennedy and Ser geant Henderson were recommendei tor medals of hoorr. It was not alone the official reports which brought high honors to these four soldiers. It was more the evi dence contained in a personal letter trom one of the officers participating n the fight to a brother officer back in the states. This personal letter ,nly fell under the observation of the War Department officials by chance. Ir was from a "shave-tail" (a second 'ietuenant not long graduated from West Point). The letter, the writer 1nd recipient of which cannot for ob 'ions reasons be named, describes the action in which the men who are -o be decorated were as follows: "Then an advance was ordered. I ;uppose these were about forty men >n the firing line. The rest werein the -ear, or carrying ammunition. Some of my men got up into the line with only their revolvers and we started 'rawling forward on our bellies. "Capt. Byram was overseeing the rhole thing. Holderness ('04) and Turner were looking after ammuni -ion and supplies, aniv Miller. Joe Raer, Wilson and John Kennedy were vith the main part of the line on the right. There was another entrance mn the left, so I took command at hat part of the line. "By this time the outlaws seemed ;0 be out of ammunition, for they be an rolling big rocks out at us. Then t big spet.r came whizzing out from - he cave and gave one man an ugt _ ound in the shoulder. Finally the :ight of the line was right up against he entrance and my part was ip against a stone barricade about :en feet from our etrance. It was :mpossible to go in, for the entrance was only about two feet square, an they were waiting inside to cut of' the first head that showed itselt. ['hey were firing through the door prom outside but couldn't do much iamage owing to the construction of *he cave. "Well, just as we got up to the bar ricade there was a shout from ou' icor and a big 'doro jumped straight ''or us with a barong. (Barong Is trie ichting weapon of the Joloano Moro, i had grabbed a rifle from some man when we started the advance, and -our of us fired at him and got him in -he middle of his jumps. He hit thc tround once, turned a somersault In -he air and rolled over dead just in side the barricade. "Just as we finished him the main ush began on the right, where most of the men were. Eight Moros came rushing out, swinging barongs righ' and left. I will never forget it as long as I live. For a week afterward I i d night mares-and saw ti'e whole -hing in my dreams. Every oince -who was there said the same thing Raer said he scarcely closed his eyeF for a week without seeing it. "Every jump, it seems to me. they went three feet in the air and cover ed about ten feet, first to one side .id then to the other, and with eacTh :ump the barong would come down with all a man's weight behind it. Wilson was right beside the door an' 'aught the first flash in the back of the neck, under the 'aw and down to he back. John Kennedy got the next --a slanting blow across the hack of1 the head and neck. Miller caught the flat of a barong on the kidneys. which laid him up for a week. Tf it "ad geen the edge he would have been cut in two. One man's hand was slashed off and several othoe out more or less seriously before the Moros were killed. "I do't suppose the whole thing asted ten seconds, but I never want 'c see another like them. I saw one '4oro's head opened up like a cracked erg shell from a pistol bullet.

A cable dispatch from London says ,ny idea that the Turkish govern ment may have had of benefitting by continued resistance in the Turkish Balkan war must be shattered by Monday's news of the fall of Monas tir. In the capture of that important town the Servians tooa three pashas, including the dommander-in-chief, ethi'Pasha, 50,000 men thus achiev ng the greatest individual success of the war. Monastir was the second city of mportance in European Turkey. It was Turkey's stronghold in Macedo nia, and by its downfall Macedonia passes completely out or Turkish hands. What parts the Greeks played in the capture has not yet been ascer tained. It is known that the Greek army was marching to the assistance of the Servians an:l it is supposed that the Greeks were able to cut off the Turkish retreat towards -the south. The Servians niaturally could be elated at this victory, which out shines~ the capture of Salonki and must have a great moral effect on the future course of the war. Another of the strange silences which have been characteristic of this war appears to have fallen over Constantinople, from which city brief dispatches have been received telling of the resumption of the Tcha talja battle and that the sultan has made a fresh personal appeal to the European sovereigns to intervene for the termination of the war. Quite as little may be expected to come of this appeal as of the previous attempt at mediation by the powers. With cholera and typhus raging within her demoralized army and a powerful enemy hammering at the gates of the capital, Turkey must again appeal to the allies for terms. Lndoubtedly the object of the com manders in ordering the attack on Tchatalja lines was to compel this course. It seems incredible that Bul garia for the mere glory of trium phal entry into a city she does not desire to possess should wish to take her army into disease infested zones. Turkish reports, even the official dispatches, of the operations have been so unreiable throughout that little attenltion can be paid to the statements regarding the Tchatal'a battle issued at Constaustinople Sun day and Monday. Tne operations probaibly was little more than an ar iliery exchange. which all armies use locating his batteries. As the eff'ect of the victory at Mo nastir will be to stiffen the Servian government in resisting Austrian pre tensions the consular troubles at Prisrend and Mitrovitza are breeding a dangerous spirit of ill feeling be tween Austria and Servia, which Is little calculated to favor diplomatic negotiations. The newspapers of both capitals re'lect this feling. No news has yet reached Vienna of t::e Austria-i consul at Prisrend. The Servian government has dieclined to comply with Austria's request to allow an Austrian representative to go to Prisrend to make inquiries, and pactically ignores Austria's protests. .The Austro-servian question is less dsuieting except for the attitude of the press on either side and for the aticn of the Servinns in intercept ing the reports of the Austrian con suls in Albania. Acting on the rec onmendation of her alhIV. Italy. Aus tria is said to have modified her de mands and no longer obiects to the construction of a railway from the Danube to the Adriatic sea.
