Cltaloncr Shoots Gillard, Who Had Pursuwl Ills Wife to the Home of Chaloner, Whither She lfad Gone to Seek Protection From Her Husband. Charlottesville, Va., March 1C.?J. Armstrong Chaloner was this afternoon fully exonerated of all blame in connection with the death of John nnin.^ ?. *? y uiiiiuu, w iiu was shuck in the temple and killed by n bullet from Chaloner's pistol, for the possession of which the two wero contesting. The victim was an Englishman, who came to Virginia about two years ago from Australia, and was living within three miles of Chaloner's country home, "The Merry Mills," near Cobham, this county. Gilliard's wife yesterday sought Chaloner'8 protection from her husband, who had beaten her and threatened her life. She had arrived at "Tht Merry Mills' in advance of the man and, witlf her children, was waiting in the dining room to tell her story, when her husband entered arid assaulted her with a pair of heavj tongs. At this point Chaloner and Erine E. Money, who was with him, entered the room and interfered. Tht Englishman was in a frenzy and. during the scuffle, Chaloner drew hie pistol to restrain him. The man teized the pistol and tried to turn it on his wife. In the scutfle it was discharged with f" u.1 results. A magistrate was at once summoned and made acquainted with tin facts. He held an inquest this afternoon, at which the widow told the story of her husband's brutal treatment. She was postive that her husband discharged the pistol in an of fort to kill her, and other testified to this fact. Her fourteen-year-old son, who was present at the tragedy, said that his father had fully deter mined to kill his mother, and that In would have succeeded but for Chnloner. The body was kept at "The Merry MHIh" ull night in the position in which it was when death ensued, and the Jury, consisting of substantia] farmers, made a searching investigation and came unanimously to tin decision that the accident occurrei during an effort to save the life o! Mrs. Gillard. At the time of the inquest tin room still showed evidences of tin great struggle. The woman's ha was in one corner of the room and hair pins were scattered about tin floor. The tongs, bent from tin blows, were bloody anu container clumps of hair. Mrs. Gillard showei evidences of her bad treatment. Hei head was badly cut in many placet and her clothes were torn. At tin inquest she told how her husband had frequently mistreated her am that, whenever she tried to escape to seek protection, he would overtake her and force her to return. Gillard was about 4 5 years of ag< and was of powerful build. Chalone^ had frequently befriended him, a: he was in poor circumstances, am only recently had offered to give hin a mule so that lie could get aroum the country better. After the adjournment of the inquest this afternoon Gillard's body was placed in i cotlin and removed to his late hom< near Campbell's. TART RRMAltKS SWAITIOI) It)* Cannon and Clark?Opposing krndrrs Cross Hats. Washington. March lfi.?Speaker Cannon and Champ Clark, fhe nil norlty leader of the house, swapped tart remarks about each other nt the White House today. The speakei called upon the president early In the morning, and when he was leaving the executive offices made this answer to a question as to the fight in the house yesterday: "The amendments to the rules have greatly improved them. All this stuff about the speaker being a czar la the purest tommyrot. Ther< has never been a time when the majority could not control the house What they wanted to do was to make a committee of 15 czars, dominated by Champ Clark and LaFollette. That is also tommyrot. LaFollette is a fake." When representative Champ Clark called on President Taft later in the morning and was told what tinspeaker said, he answered briefly: "Uncle Joe has paresis." Mr. Clark would not comment further except to say that the amendment to the rules amount to very little. DEATH ENDS IIASEIIEIjL. CAME. Unknown Man Hurls llrick and the Pitcher is Killed.

Kiue Assessed First Two Months of A Tills Year Are In Excess of Sauie Period Two Years Ago. Atlanta, March 16.?The Journal says lines assessed In police court c during the llrst two months of this t V p Ji r WPTO 1 n rtror than 4? ^ .. v .M.QV* VUMU IVt IUC IWU corresponding months of any other ' year in the history of police court. 1 Though the number of cases tried i during the past two months were not , ;is large as for other mouths larger ( flnes were imposed. During January the fines assessed by the city recorder amounted to ? $if>,04 7.75 and of this amount $6,- ] 904.50 was paid in, the other flnes being worked out at the city workhouse. In February $13,354.25 in fines was assessed, while $0,826 was paid. This brought the total amount assessed up to $28,354.25 which Is the largest in the history of the police court for January and February. The total amount paid in Was $13,790.50, which is considered unusually large. In January of 1907, the fines Imposed by the city recorder were $11,880.50 and in the following month amounted to $9,970.75. At the time 'his was considered unusually large as more cascs^were being tried in police court each day than at any ither time. It was before the prohibition law went into effect and for this reason more cases were tried ach day than are placed on the locket now. According to the figures at police headquarters, $6,550.75 more was assessed for the first two months of his year than in 1907, at which time .vhiskey was here. The cases tried luring January and February of 'his year numbered 3,047, while for 'he first two months of 1907 there were 3,4 58 tried. The first two months of 1908, the first or prohibition in Atlanta, were very small as compared to the fines issessed the first two of this year, ' 'or the two months the fines assess d amounted to $13,421.75, which 's but half as large as for the two months of this year than were assessed for the first two months of 1908. Though many fines have been paid luring this year the city workhouse has been well filled at nil times. During last week there were more white irisoners doing work for the city han ever before. On one day last week there were sixty male white irisoners at work in the city workhouse. The large number of negroes brought this number up to ilmost 4 00. TI1K IDEAL WOMAN Man's Companion and Not the Servant of Fashion. New York, March 15.?Dr. Lyman \bbott says that the ideal woman mist not change her styles at the lictation of Paris, nor should she al'ow herself to become the servant if the milliner and dressmaker. In an address in Brooklyn, he ?ald: "A woman's idea of modern ndustry is playing bridge whist norning and night. ller Idea of nodern life is to be supported by loine one else. "The ideal woman does not conider work unwomanly. She believes that whatever concerns her husband concerns her. If the ideal o liiiiuty nnus mult with her tooking, she does not blame the ooking; she blames the food and hangos it. "Woman was meant to bo man's companion, and if the idea were nroperly carried out, there would bo no affinities/' UK VAN world) ACCEPT Seat in the United States Senate From Nebraska. Chicago, March 15.?William J. Bryan in an interview today loft the impression that he would be a receptive if not an active candidate for the United States sonatorship from Nebraska in 1011 to succeed Elmer 1. Ilurkett, Republican. "I do not know yet whether I shall be a candidate," said Mr. Rryan. "If there seems a good chance to elect to the senate some other Nebraska Democrat it will please me better than to be a candidate myself. I can not say that I would ifndor no circumstances accept the nomination, because no one is wise enough to decide on conditions In advance. I think the Democratic 1 party is In better condition than at 1 any time since 1892 and has an a*- i cellent chance to control the next I congress." 1 I ATTACKED BY Rl ROIAHfl. < I Knocked Down by Masked Man in .1 Tlieir City Home. ^ f Atlanta.

Washington, March 15.?Only five ^ :ommIttce8 of the House will be lamed by Speaker Cannon for the jresent. These will he w#v? nnH neans, rules, printing, mileage and iccounts. In making up the comnittees, it is stated on reliable auhority the speaker will consult with 'every member of the House who c iesires to discuss assignments with i him." This means that Minority c Leader Clark will not enjoy the prlv- c liege accorded his predecessor, John r Sharp Williams, of selecting the l minortiy members. 1 The attitude taken by the Demo- 1 crats at a caucus held this evening 1 after the House adjourned is In sharp I conflict with the new policy of ? Speaker Cannon. A resolution was , adopted to prevent members of the minority accepting committee as- 1 signments without the approval of Minority iJeader Clark. The resolu- 1 tlon reads: , "Resolved. That it is the sense of the Democratic caucus that no Democrat should accept appointment on any committee without the previous approval of the Democratic leader." This was adopted by a vote of 185 to 1, one member voting present. Previous to the vote, however, a number of members had left the caucus. One hundred and sixty-six Democrats bound themselves to support Champ Clark of Missouri in his tight on the rules of the House. This action was taken at the caucus held this morning. which elected Mr. Clark as the Democratic nominee for speaker. Mr. Clark, acknowledging his election as leader, said: "Mr. Chairman and fellow Democrats: Last. December the Democratic caucus elected me minority leader ?y unanimous vote. A moment ago you unanimously nominated me for i speaker. For those flattering evidences of your confidence and esteem i am deeply grateful. "In the last days of the Sixtieth Congress we won some notable vie* torles?astonishing victories when we remember that there was a Republican majority of 57 in that | house. I "We achieved those triumphs by j standing together and fighting together. We can in the present congress win more victories more easily because there is now a majority of only 4 7 against us. We must stick together in order to do our duty. The country expects us to stick to| gether and fight together. I "We must remember that to a very large extent we have in our keeping the immediate future of the : Democratic party. Recent events | have demonstrated that the Republij cans are disorganized. disgruntled i and at loggerheads generally. Let | us close up our ranks, present a solid front and demonstrate to the world that we are worthy of the high vocation wherein we are called." The resolution adopted was that offered by Representative Underwood and in effect bound the members of the caucus to support Mr. Clark In his efforts to procure the adoption of the plan agreed ;upon by the Democratic leaders and the insurgents' steering committee. The only opposition to the resolution was that of the five Georgia representatives who several davs nen announced their plan to have the caucus agree to a resolution which would not hind the Democrats to support the insurgents in their fight on the rules unless the latter agreed to vote against Mr. Cannon for speaker, to favor unlimited debate under the five-minute rule and to seek a complete revision of the rules of the House. This amendment was ofTered by Mr. Livingston of Georgia, but was overwhelmingly defeated. Representatives Edwards (Ga) then en- i deavored to offer a resolution to bind the members of the caucus to its action, but he was not recognized by the chairman. The caucus then adjourned until tonight, when the resolution above quoted was adopted. GOOD DYE, JOHN. Capers Will no Longer Dictate Ap- l pointments. , i Charleston, March 16. ? A Wash- ' ington dispatch to The News and ? Courier says there is no use in longer 1 concealing the fact that the political 1 lays of Commissioner John G.

Be JOLT THE PARTY utp Down Cannon And Vote For Despot's Rule THEY ARE TRAITORS nd Should be TreaUnl an Such?The Insurgents Stand -True to Their Promises and Vote With Faithful Democrats to Curb the Arbitrary Power of Speaker Cannon. Washington, Mrrch 15.?Speaker 'annouL is still on top in the House, ut if it had not been for the votes >f twenty-three traitors in the Democratic ranks he would have been outed horse, foot and dragoon, and lis despotic power in the House vould have been a thing of the past. It is supposed that these recreant Democrats voted as they did because Speaker Cannon had promised them jxtra good committee appointments. This will come out when the committees are appointed if it is true. At one time the Democrats and insurgents defeated Speaker Cannon's autocratic rules, but when Champ Clark proposed to adopt the resolution agreed on in the Democratic caucus for a general revision of the rules, 23 Democrats, including five Georgia members, bolted and voted with the machine Republicans for a mild revision proposed by Fitzgerald of New York, who led the bolt, and the bolters and the Cannon Republicans voted to give Cannon the power of appointing committees, in eluding the rules committee, with practically the same powers as be> fore. The five Georgia traitors were Livingston. Griggs. Howard. Edwards and Lee. The Insurgents stood man fully to their guns and the fighi against Cannon would have been wor except for the bolt of the Demo crats, all of whom should l*e excludec from future Democratic caucuses, a: they have proven uutrue to their patty at a vital time. The bolt of Fitzgerald was gen early expected. He has been slatei by Cannon as a member of the 1m portant committee on rules. If tlu Democrats had won their fight to day the appointment of committee; would have been taken out. of th< speaker's hands and Fitzgerah would have missed the appointment It is expected that all the bolter will be given good committee as signment8. Only nine of them an from the South, the five Georgians ilroussard and Estopinal from T,oui siana, who, by the way. are nearl; always counted on to vote with tin Republicans, Sparkman of Florid; and Moon of Tennessee. Six of them were New Yorkers the Tammany crowil, the other eigh are from different Northern am Western States. The regular Democrats are ver; much wrought up over the actioi of the bolters, who may be ruled ou of the party caucus, because ttlu Denver platform isi so explicit upoi the question of revising the rule; of the house so as to take the nnin cratlc power away from the speaker The rules adopted. It is true, tak< away a small modicum of this pow er, but leave him with the most Ira portant and most dangerous power The Cannonites are jubilant to night, for although they did not ge all they wanted, they got the com promise which it is believed had th< sanction beforehand of Mr. Cannon and as soon as it was proposed bj Mr. Fitzgerald word was passec around among the Cannon Repiiblicans to vote for it, as it, was al right. Another reason why it is generallj believed that the Fitzgerald substitute was prearranged with Mr. Cannon is that the speaker was quick to recognize Fitzgerald after the previous question on the Democratic resolution was voted down. Several wanted "to lie recognized but the speaker somehow saw only Mr. Fitzgerald. SLAIN FROM WIDISH. Wanted to Kill the Man Who Married His Wife." Huntington, W. Va., March 16? John and Frank Fleming, alleged members of a feud gang, that has terrorized Hart's Creek, in Lincoln county, forty miles south of this city, were shot from ambush last vening.

Prepared at Once, so as to Minin itee the l)is< turhance of liusincss. Washington, March 1 6.?President TaTt's message was received by the | Senate and House todjtiy with demonstrations in both bodies. Tho message was as follovfs: "To the Senate and House of Representatives: I have convened the Congress in this extra session in order to enable it to give immediate i uuiiaiuoiikiiuu iu me revision of the | Dingley Tariff Act. Conditions af1 fecting production, manufacture and I business generally have so changed | in the last twelve years as to require J a "readjustment and revision of the I import duties imposed by that Act I More than this, the present tariff Act I with the other sources of Govern I ment revenue, does not. furnish in I come enough to pay the authortzec J e-.pendlturo. Ily July 1 next, th? excess of expenses over receipts foi I the current fiscal year will equa I $100,000,000. "The successful party in the las I election is pledged to a revision o I the tariff. The country, and, and tIn I business community especially, ex I poet it. The prospect of a chang< I in the rate of import duties alway: I causes a suspension or halt in bus! 1 ness because of the uncertainty a 1 I to the change to be made and tin I effect. It is-, therefore, of the high I est Importance that the new bil I should be agreed upon and passei 1 1 with as much speed as possible ' 1 consistant with its due and thorougl 1 I consideration. For these reasons I have deemed the present to be a 1 extraordinary qccasion, within th " I meaning of the Constitution, justl fying and requiring the calling o ' 1 an extra session. "In my inaugural address I state j in a summary way the principles u| 1 I on which, in my judgment, the r< 1 1 vlsiou of the tariff should proceed " I and indicated at least one new sourc J of revenue that might be proper! 3 I resorted to in order to avoid a fn I ture deficit. It Is not necessary fo J me to repeat what I then said. " I "I venture to suggest that th I vital business interests of the conn 1 try require that the. attention c the'Congress in this session be chiel I ly devoted to the consideration c M the new tnriff bill, and that th ? 1 less time given to other subject I for legislation in this session the be! ter for the country. ("Signed) \V. II. TAFT." "Tho White House, March 1< 0 1909." The message received careful nl tention on the part of Senators, man ^ of whom laughed when the Pros dent's suggestion that no legislatio 1 except in relation to the tariff h considered at tills session was read.
