BLOODY TRAGEDY AT LEAVENWORTH, KS. losioe Man Shot Six Persons Was Him jelf Finally Killed by Of fleers Two of His Victims Dead. hv Telegraph to the Morning star IjEav enworth, Kan., July 24. Michael Kelly, an insane man, at the office of the Robert Garret Lumber Company, doing business in this dis trict, shot six people, killing one, prob gbly fatally wounding another, and more or leas seriously wounding four oloers. He was finally killed by officers who tried to overpower him. Kelly had lived in Leavenworth for years and at different times had en gaged in minor business enterprises. He was eccentric and during the Presi dential campaign, in 1896 lost his jnind entirely. At that time he threatened to kill Garrett. He was arrested and adjudged insane, Garrett and four others testifying against him After a year in the Topeka asylum. Kelly was released. He bad been act one queerly again and bad declared hat he would kill the five men who "tont him to the asvlum. For two weeks past he has been practicing shooting-with a revolver daily at Fort. Leavenworth range. LAst nigbt he drauk heavily. Boon after 13 o'clock to Jay he appeared at Garrett's office and without warning shot Garrett as he sat at his desk. Garrett fell to the floor and Kelly deliberately fired four more shots into the prostrate form, leaving his victim for dead. Kelly ran to the rear of the company's lumber yard and began loading his revolver. Presently he returned to the office to find Dr. McGee, who had been attracted by the shooting, bend ing over Garrett. Levelling his re volver, Kelly took aim at the phy sician and fired. The bullet struck McGee in the spine, and he toppled over near where Garrett lay. Thon followed an exciting street fight between the madman and officers who came upon the scene. Kelly, flourishing his revolver, dashed through the lumber yard. Lie met Ike Ilealer, a laborer, and shot him in the hand. A few yards further on he encountered Sergeant Dodge. The two exchanged, shots as they ran One bullet from Kelly's revolver struck Dodge in the neck, but not before that officer had shot him in the shoulder. Krtiy kept running and was soon con fronted by Detective McDonald and Officer Falthager. McDonald dropped Kelly with a bulletin the neck. Dodge raised his revolver but it failed to work and catching up with the mur derer. he crushed his skull with the weapon: Kelly was carried to the station in an unconscious condition, dying soon after his arrival there. Garrett did not regain consciousness and died an hour after being taken to the hospital. Dr. McGee is still suff ering seriously and it is believed be cannot recover. Dodge's wound is not considered fatal, while the wounds of the others are slight. WILL M ET IN SEPTEMBER. The Schley Court of loqalry The Ses sions ol the Court Will be Open to the Public. Uv THieiapu to tne. Morning Star. Washington, July 24 Secretary Loi.;' in accordance with a request froui Admiral Schley advised that officer that he would order a court of inquiry to examine into the entire matter of Admiral Schley's course in the Santiago naval campaign. Later the secretary announced that owing to the extremely hot weather tbe court would not meet until September and that he would turn over bis recep tiooEOom to the court. The Secre tary said : ' "it is too hot now, and I do not think it would be very comfortable for officers to sit in their heavy full dress uniforms during August. I issued an ordrr some time ago dispensing with the wearing of full dress uniforms during a court martial, but this case will bo so important that every form, of official dignity will be observed: even to the, guard of marines at the door. I propose to give the court the use of the large reception room ad joining my office, which is a conven ient and commodious place." "Will the sessions of the court be open?!!, i.ir . Ll II . i I . ic reply. "I propose to make that fact very plain. It would be a great mistake to have a secret court. The country has a right to know all that transpires in the way of testimony offered. Per sonally I Bhould be very glad to have a court composed of a large number of officers, but the naval regulations re strict me to the selection of three I hope to name the personnel of the court to morrow and this will give the judge advocate and recorder am ple .time, to prepare a list of wit' nesses who are to be summoned: This list will be necessarily quite lengthy, and it will take some little lime to assembo the officers here. I do not believe that the session of tbe court will be prolonged, because after all,, a great deal of the talk over the Santi-i ago campaign Is like the gentis' vapor1 which can be condensed into a small bottle." "Will Admiral Schley be allowed 'Admiral Schley," was the rep'y, "will be -afforded every opportunity for the appearance of all tbe witnesses he may desire. He is also entitled, under the naval regulations, to be represented by counsel." SENATOR JONES' OPINION. Believes Tbat the Next President Will Be a Democrat. , By Telegraph to tne Morning star.

DEWEY WILL BE PRESIDENT. Correspondence Between Admiral Schley and Secretary Loot Court of In quiry Will be Held In Washing ton Sometime In the Fall. By Telegraph to the Morning 6 tar. Washington, July 24. Secretary Long this- morning received a letter from Bear Admiral Schley calling at tention to the criticisms against him which are contained in Maclay's his tory of the navy, and the innuendoes which have appeared in the presa for several days, and stating that in his opinion the time had now come to take auch action as would bring the entire matter under the "clear and calm review of his brothers in arms." He asked that the department take such action as was deemed best to accomplish this purpose. He also requested that whatever ac-' tion be taken should occur in Washing ton where his papers and data are stored. The secretary immediately decided to comply with Admiral Schley's request and dictated a letter to the rear ad miral saying that under the circum stances he heartily approved of his ac tion and that the department would proceed at once in accordance with his request- Admiral Schley's Letter. 'Great Neck. L. I., July 22, 1901. Dear Sir Within the past, few days a series of press comments have been sent me from various Darts of the country of a book entitled 'The His tory of of the Navy,' written by one Edgar Stanton Maclay. From these reviews it appears that this edition is a third volume of the said history ex tended to include the late war with Spain, which the two first volumes did not contain, and were in use as text books at the naval academy. "2. From excerpts quoted in some reviews in which the pages and para graph are given, there is such perver sion of facts, misconstruction of inten tion, such intemperate abuse and de famation of myself which subjects Mr. Maclay to action in civil law. While I admit the right, of fair criticism of every public officer, I must protest against the low flings and abusive lan guage of this violent partisan oppo nent, who has infused into the pages of his books so much of the malice of unfairness as to make it unworthy the name of history, or of use in any re putable institution of the country. "I have refrained heretofore from all comment upon the innuendoes of enemies muttered or murmured in secret and therefor with safety to themselves. I think the time has now come to take such action aa may bring this entire matter under discussion under the clearer and calmer review of my brothers in arms, and to this end I ask such action at the hands of the department as it may deem best to accomplish this purpose. i "But I would express the request in this connection that whatever the action may be, that it occur in Wash ington where most of my papers and data are stored: - "Very respectfully, "W. 8. Schley. "Rear Admiral U 8. N. "To the Secretary of the Navy, Washington. D. C." The Secretay's Reply. Navy Department, Washington, July 24th. Sir I am in receipt of yours of tbe 22nd instant, with refer ence to the criticisms upon you in connection with the Spanish-American war, and heartily approve of your action, under the circumstances, in asking at tbe bands of this department such action as may bring this entire matter 'under discussion under the clearer and calmer review of my brothers in arms.' "The department will at once pro ceed in accordance with your request. Very respectfully, John D. Long. Secretary Long acted without con sultation with any one and without communicating the request of Admiral Schley to the -President. He then called into his office Bear Admiral Crowninshield and Captain Cowles, chief and assistant chief respectively of the bureau of -navigation, and also Judge Advocate General Lemly, who has charge of formalities, of naval courts. He also sent for Admiral Dewey. Although Bear Admiral Schley did not ask specifically for a court of inauirv. but left the action to be taken to the judgment of the de partment, the secretary decided that such a court would be the best means of makiner the investigation which the rear admiral had requested and the three bureau officers were called in for the purpose of discussing the mode of procedure in such cases After his conference with Admiral Dewey, who had responded immedi ately to the secretary's request for an interview, the secretary said that he had not had time to decide upon the comnosition of the court, but in re sDonse to a question as to whether Ad miral Dewey would serve upon such a court.' if reauested to do so. the secre tary said: Dewey President of Court. "Admiral Dewey will do his duty, AHhmiD-h no nositive declaration has been made! on this point,' it is assumed about the Navv Department tbat Admi ral Dewey will be president of the court which will inquire into tne coniro versv concerning Admiral Schley's ac tion durinsr the Spanish war. There also is an impression tbat the two other members of the court will be re tired naval officers, or at least officers who had no connection with the San tiago campaign. The selection of re tirpid naval officers, would have a double advantage. Not only would thev be free from any prejudice grow ing out of their connection with the department but they would have no fear of future conseauences arising from their course while members of the board. The court of inauirv probably wil not nrnrMd with its work until Fall. Secretary Long said to day that -it would be unfair to ask a court of in auirv to convene in Washington dur ing the present extremely hot weather for the prosecution 01 an inquiry which promised to be quite protracted. The information that Admiral Rchlev's letter asking for a court of inauirv had been received by Secre tary Lone, soon spread through the Navy Department, and not since the dava has one theme ex cited snch general attention. No Court Martial. Congress In 1895 established the orincinle that no court martial could be held two years after the occurrence under investigation. This is known as the naval statute of limitation, and while it bars a court martial relating to the Santiago campaign, it does not bar the court of inquiry. In this case the court of inquiry would be effec tive only in establishing records, and would not be preliminary to a court martial. An important feature in the order I directing the court is that specifying whether it shall state only the facts - ound or shall also give an opinion based o the facts Unless the order ' expressly requires the court to give taeir opinion tnev are confined tc ' tating the facts found. It is consider ed quite probable, however, that in a case of this importance the order would direct the court to record its opinion as well as its conclusion of facts. . - m Whether the investigation shall be held in open court or not is decided by the court itself unless specified in the convening order. This leaves it optional with the President or .Secre tary Long to direct that the proceed ings shall be open or closed, but in case no specific direction is given on this point, the court will decide it When the court of inquiry reaches its decision all the papers are forwarded to the judge advocate general of the navy, and the final approval or dis approval rests with the secretary of the navy or the President, according to which one has ordered the court. Personnel of the Coart. Secretary Long at the close of office hours to day said that the personnel of the court will be known tomorrow, at which iime also the precept cover ing the court will be issued. Mean while, there is much speculation as to the members of the court other than Admiral Dewey. The secretary him self says there is no warrant for the announcement of any particular name as he still has the question under ad visement. He has been making in quiries during the day as to the avail ability of certain officers, and it is un derstood that some telegraphic inqui ries have been made of those absent from the city to see if there is any reason why they should not serve. The sessions of the court will be held in the large chamber formerly used as the private office of the Secre--tary of the Navy and now used as an ante room to the office of the secre tary and assistant secretary. Effort to Remove Maclay. Washington, July 24. An effort has been made to secure the removal of Edgar S. Maclay, the author of the nisiory 01 we opanisn war containing the criticisms of Bear Admiral Schley. Maclay is a clerk in the Brooklyn navv yard. Representative Sidney E. Mudd, of Maryland, a member of the com mittee on naval affairs in the last House of Representatives called on Secretary Long to day and represented to him the impropriety of Maclay continuing an employe of the government in view of the language of wbichhe made use in referring to Admiral Schley. The secretary promised to give the matter his early attention. THE STEEL WORKERS' STRIKE Movements of Officials Toward Breakinr the Strike Nonunion Men Sent to Wellsville to Start Up Work. By Telegraph to the Morning star. Pittsburg, July 24. Two moves, it is reported, were made by the ag gressive officials of the American Sheet Steel Company to-day toward the breaking of the strike. One was the shipping of some of the non-union men that have been employed in the Vandergrift mills of the company to Wellsville, to assist in the starting of the plant there. It was stated that the men were to be shipped to wellsville during the early evening .and would reach there after dark. As a conse quence of this report there is a sup pressed excitement pervading Wells ville, which at any moment may break into a serious condition. Both strikers and officials of the company are on the alert and ready for any emergency. The impression is strong to night that the general omcers 01 the United States Steel Corporation have become determined on the subject of the early breaking of the strike and to ultimately force the operation of all the idle plants. The second move that is understood to have been initiated to-day is the starting of the long idle Hyde Park plant of the American Sheet Steel Company. The question of the manufacturers securing injunctions against the Amal gamated Association was discussea guardedly during the day. Those best acquainted with the feelings of the manufacturers say mere is in tneir opinion, little cause for believing that such measures will be resorted to at this time. BUBONIC PLAQUE. Mild Case on the Steamer Hoheofels at New York from Calcutta. By Telegraph to tbe Horning Star. New York, July 24. Dr. Doty, health officer of the port of New York, announced to-day that the illness of Babivane, the stoker on the steamer Hohenfels, who was sent to Swin burne island on Monday,, has been di agnosed as bubonic plague. The Ho hen f els came from Calcutta. Dr. Doty says the case is a mild one. The diagnosis was made by Dr. Doty first and was confirmed by Doctors Ged dings and Bosenauf of the Marine Hospital service at Washington. All of the crew of the Hohenfels will be held at Swinburne island for observation; the vessel will be thor oughly disinfected, the cargo will be discharged into lighters at the quaran tine and sulphur will be burned in the hold to kill the rats, which, it is said carry the infection.

In the borough of Man hattan the number of persons to a dwell ing is 23.2, in Philadelphia 5.0 and in Chicago 8.G0. "In the one block between Sixty-first and Sixty-second streets.

Washington, July 24.--Scattered thunder showers in the northern tier of States in the .Central West to day gave some relief in that locality from the intense heat. These showers which generally were light in charac ter occurred in the Dakotas, Southern Minnesota, Northwestern Iowa, the extreme northern portion of Illinois. in Minnesota and in Michigan. More showers over a wider area are expect ed by the Weather Bureau to-morrow. Their effect, however, will be only temporary ana warm weather is agai n predicted for Friday. In the great corn belt the intense heat still continues and there seems to be no immediate prospect of a general rain though the ' fact that showers are becoming most general F than for some days is encouraging to to the officials her who -hope thev may be the forerunner of a general break up of the heat and drought con ditions, although the forecaster will not say this is a probability.

How a Craae la tne Sonthn-Ht. Raised In Preference to Chicken. In southern California, where the hare fad has become a craze as per vasive as the famous Dutch tulip ma nia, all sorts of fancy prices are being paid for choice strains of Imported Bel gian hares, says the New York Herald, to which appears the following: Many men and women, too, in the southwest are breeding Belgian hares for market. As a food product, fetch ing 8 cents a pound, there Is great profit in raising hares. The flesh of the imported Belgian hares is firm, white and nearly as tender as frogs' legs or chicken. The original Belgian hares were much coarser in fiber and the meat was reddish. After the Flemish hares were crossed with the red rabbits of England an excellent edible was promptly thrown on the British market. Hares are now the poor man's turkey and beefsteak, too, and "jugsed" hare Is as common on the other side as baked beans In New England. The pelts of the Belgian hares are useful for a variety of purposes, par ticularly for hats. Careful attention to their coats has led to the production of finef fleecy pelts, and an additional source of revenue for the; breeders lias been secured. i These imported Belgian hares are ex tremely prolific. Commonly 11 litters of young, of two to a dozen each, are born each year to a doe. A pair of hares will live for six or "eight years. They are hardy and thrive well in al most any part of this country. They are easily reared. Their provender Is plentiful and Inexpensive, consisting chiefly of white oats, lettuce, carrots .and green food generally. Thev are very cleanly In their habits and subject to few ailments. In the west many families raise Bel gian hares in preference to chickens. These hares do not .burrow, so no deep set fences are needed. They are re markably tame and will eat from the hand of a stranger readily. In conse quence they have become ?rreat pets With children. A pair may be bought as low as 50 cents and a child of 10 can raise them from infancy. They are as alert and playful as the tradi tional wild hare of England, but are not suitable for coursing or hunting. Though much larger and heavier than the ordinary hare and with lon ger legs, tliey do not scamper with the zest of the wild species. They are fast sprinters, however, as their only de fense is their speed, but they do not burrow or double, as the wild ones do. through thetr5TrtrteVraiiean galleries. The largest animal dealer in this city says:i"These hares breed so.rnpidly and cost so little to raise that some of those first In the field must be making money. "The Belgian hare meat Is a cross between venison and mutton. In Ger many hares have been an article of food for a long time. They cook them With port or sherry, and the dish is fit to set before a king. "Many people think hares and rab bits are one and the same thing. These Belgian hares are big fellows, weigh ing seven or eight pounds. Those who have eaten rabbit stew do not know how much better Belgian hare is."

Hands of a nv Cable to the Morning Btar. London, July 24 "Cash" Sloan, the American jockey who has been riding in Bussia, had an exciting ex perience at the Moscow races, where be narrowly escaped death at the hands of a furious mob. Bloan had been riding with such continuous suc cess that his mounts always were fa vorites. On the occasion in question he rude a horse which had no chance of winning. The unsophisticated crowd, however, backed the Ameri can's mount as usual ; and when he was beaten their indignation : boiled over aud a raging mob of males and females savagely attacked the jockey who was rescued with dimcuity by a military contingent and a powerful detachment of police. Statesville Landmark: Light ning killed a squirrel on Mr. Clark Sullivan's place, just east of town, Thursday afternoon. The squirrel drnpped out of a tree after a flash of lightning and Mr. Sullivan picked it up dead. Thursday afternoon light ning struck and slightly damaged Mr. Edwin Tharpe's house near Harmony, Turnersburg township. A rocker was knocked off a cradle in which was a baby but the baby was not hurt The same stroke also killed a dog under the house. Mr. E. Dewitt C. Pope was struck and instantly killed by light-. inner Thursday afternoon near his home at Can a, Davie connty. Mr. Pope, his son and a negro had finished hauling some wheat and were leading the horses to the bouse when Mr. f ope was killed. One of the horses was knocked down by the same stroke but ! the rest of the party were not hurt. Fayetteville Observer: Private Secretary to the Governor Col. P. M. Pearsall says the records show that there are in the penitentiary, county Cham gangs and jails twice as many persons as there were ten years ago. Why this great increase in crime? In Bobeson county. where they have pro hibition, the grand jury has just made a report stating that crime in that county was so rapidly increasing that it is appalling. In Cumberland, whei e we have bad a dispensary and now have prohibition, the county lau is crowded as it never has been before and Sheriff Burns will probably have to seek some other place to keep the prisoners that will accumulate be tween now and court week The city statistics also show that crime has in creased in the last three years. Prevented a Tragedy. Timely information given Mrs. George Loner, of New Straitsville, Ohio, prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. A frightful cough had long kept her awake every night. She had tried many remedies and doc tors, but steadily grew worse until ureed to try Dr. Kiner's New Discovery. One bottle wholly cured her, and she writes this marvelous medicire also cured Mr. Long of a severe attack of Pneumonia. Such cures are Ipositive proof of the matchless merit of this grand remedy for curing all throat, chest and lung troubles. Onlv. 50c and $1.00. Every bottle guaranteed. Trial bottles 10c at B. B. Bellamy's Drug more. t The backbone of the terrific heat which has hung over Chicago for a week or more past and the long dura tion of which has caused many deaths and untold suffering, was broken last night by a storm of wind and ram.
