At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon ISdward " Carmack was waylaid and killed by Colonel Duncan B Cooper and his son, Robin J. Cooper. As far as it now appears the only reason for this action was the publication In the Tennesseean of a trivial editorial elsewhere reproduced in this edition. It will be seen that there was noth ing in these editorials reflecting on the honor of Colonel Cooper, and nothing at all about his son. Mr. Carmack was shot while in the act of speaking to one of the most esti mable ladles of Nashville, as he was on the way from his office to his pri vate home. His assailants, who had been lying In wait for him, drew near and opened fire on him at once, with out giving him time to speak. As he fell, mortally Wounded, another shot was fired Into the back of his neck, producing instant death. Thus died the bravest and gentlest, the most courageous and the truest man in Tennessee. Without passion, without wild desire for revenge, with pity and not malice in our hearts, we join alike with, the friends and foes of the dead man In deploring the awful tragedy and demanding the prompt and speedy execution of jus tice on the men who have been guilty of this unprovoked and bloody assas sination. Funeral at Columbia. Mrs. Edward Ward Carmack, in a stdte of collapse, arrived today from Colu'mbli to accompany there the body of her husband, former United States Senator Carmack, who was shot to death in a street duel here at 4:30 p. m. yesterday by Robin J. Cooper, a. young lawyer, and son of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper. The tragedy resulted from repeated attacks made by Mr. Carmack on the Stump and in the Nashville Tennes seean against Colonel Cooper, who is a half-brother of Judge .William F. Cooper, of New York, formerly of the supreme court of Tennesee. It was understood that Colonel Cooper had threatened to kill Car mack if his (Cooper's) name ap peared agaf ii in the Tennesseean, and both men, at the instance of their trends, bad been going armed. , It is believed the editorial that was th direct pause of the shooting was one printed yesterday morning under the caption: ... "The Diplomat of the Zwelbund," It read: "To Major Duncan Brown Cooper, who wrought the great coalition; who achieved the harmonious confluence Of incompatible elements; who, weld ed the pewter handle to the wooden spoon; who grafted the, dead bough to the living tree and made it bloom, and burgeon and bond with golden fruit; who mads playmates of the Jamb and the leopard, and boon com panions of the spider and tne ny; ; (Continued on Second Page,) MISS MALOIY TO (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Nov. : 10 Official ann nouncement was made here today that Miss Helen Maloney, daughter of Martin Maloney; the '- Philadelphia Standard Oil millionaire, will not mar ry Samue; Clarkson. of London.

Phipps, the Pittsburg multi-millionaire, matched her wits yesterday against a desper ate woman, who demanded $10,000. The woman sald'if the money was not forthcoming she would kill Mrs. Phipps, one of her daughters, who was In her mother's automobile and herself. "' , Mrs. Phipps was shopping in the down-town district and left her au tomobile at the curb to enter a store. Her daughter remained in the car. After a brief absence Mrs. Phipps re turned and was stepping inside of the car when she caught sight of a woman crouching In the corner. The little girl, apparently speechless with terror, was gazing at the woman. Mrs. Phipps sank Into a seat, nonplussed for the moment. "If you make a move I'll send both you and your daughter to eter nity with this dynamite," the woman said calmly. Too frightened to reply Mrs. Phipps awaited the desporate wo man's next words. "I am remorseless and I must have $10,000 at once," the woman contin ued. "I have dynamite enough with which to blow a whole block to atoms and If you don't get the money for me at once, or if you try to foil me by having me arrested, I will fire this dynamite and we will all go up to gether. Surely, you see I am deter mined, and I demand the money im mediately." "You know I havenf $10,000 with me," said Mrs. Phipps, with studied calm, "but I can get It by going over to the bank." . "All right," the woman replied. "Don't, however, play any tricks on mo, for I have here all the material necessary to blow ug all up." She opened a large black hand bag and took out two sticks of dyna mite, one of full length and the other partly broken. She was on the alert as Mrs. Phipps spoke to hor chauf feur, giving orders to be driven to the offices of the International Trust Co. She smiled her approval as the car sped on Its course aud Mrs. Phipps, apparently complaisant, settled, back on the cushion. Arriving at the building, Mr. Phipps hesitated , an Instant as she looked at her Utile daughter, but she knew that the lives of both depended on her courage. "I will go In and get the money; $10,000, is it?" she said, deliberately. Leaving her child within arm's reach of the desperate woman Mrs. Phipps entered the bank. Swiftly she told Special Officer J. B. McDonald of the peril. ' He left the office and ap proached the automobile unconcera (Contlnued on Second Page.)

Gat ling, county attorney, to ask the attorney-general his opinion In the matter of levying school taxes In cer tain districts. Mr. Gatling's letter to the atiorney general and his reply are as follows: Hon. R. D. Gilmer, Attorney-General, Raleigh, X. C: Dear Sir: In Wake county there are a considerable number of school districts in which special taxes have been voted by the people. These taxes as voted are In all caBes 30c. on the $100 valuation, and 90c. on the poll. Heretofore the taxes have been leyled just as voted. On the first Monday In last June following what was be lieved to be the decision of the su preme court the board of county com missioners levied in -these-districts the (axes on property, biii. onilued to levy any poll tax for i hp reason that the poll taxes In the county wore al ready very nearly $2.00 and they did not think they had the power to levy a poll tax for any purpose In excess of that amount. Mr. Joynor has ap peared before the board of commis sioners and asked that those taxes he now levied In consequence of a recent change In the attitude of the supreme court. You, of course, know that, the tax books are already In the hands of the sheriff aud considerable tax monies have been collected. As this is a matter not only con cerning Wake county, but many coun ties of the state, we -prefer--' your rul ing upon it should he followed by all. We therefore ask you to give us your opinion whether: the board of county commissioners can at this late day legally levy a poll, tax which thev omitted to levy on the first Monday in June in the special school districts. Please let me have your opinion if possible In time for the session f the board of county commissioners today at 12 o'clock. Yours very truly, BART. M. GATUNG. Bart. M.

In the decision handed down today by the United States circuit court of appeals. Judges Grpjscup, Baker and Seaman sittlnW,' uphold the decison of Judge Groskc.urLin which the d?-. cislon' Ot Judge LaLiis was revel-ted. As the case now Btands, the decis ion of the court of ,appeals nullifies the decision of Judge Landis and the work of the district attorney unless an appeal to the United States su preme court, be taken. It is almost certain that an appeal will be taken. Immediately after the docision District Attorney Sims asked for a stay in the issuance of the man date and wired Attorney General Bonaparte. ..Future, action will de pend upon instructions from Wash ington. The case now, however, is up to the attorney general and other officials in Washington. The decision handed down today was comparatively brief.. Besides denying the petition, for a re-hearing thus confirming Judge Grosscup's previous ruling reversing Judge Landis, the court of appeals took oc casion to criticise- sharply the gov ernment counsel for alleged miscon struction of the court's previous rul ing. The language of this criticism follows: "Courts have the right to expect that counsel accustomed to practice In the courts of review not only know the meaning of legal terms con stantly in use in discussion and opin ions of these courts but will not mis use such terms to spread misinfor mation respecting a judgment that. In the nature of the case, is bound to attract wido public attention." In addition to the decision of the court Judge Maker handed down tin opinion giving additional reasons for concurring with Judge Grosscup in his decision reversing Judge Landis. This original opinion handed down to the following objections on the part of the government to features of the Grosscup opinion: 1. That under the decision of the higher court it is not shown that the basis of a concession should be for which a shipper may be punished. 2. That under the decision of the higher court a corporation may use a subsidiary concern to commit crime while escaping punishment. The decision of the court handed down today follows:, , The petition for rehearing the questions of tha text of that portion of the opinion that relates to the trial Judge's sUtement, in passing sentence, that he was "unable to in dulge the presumption that in this case the defendant was convicted of its virgin offense," the point of the petition being that the use of the word "defendant" In connection with "vlrgl'i offense," the trial court re ferred to the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, an 1 not to the Standard Oil Company o'. New, Jersey. The trial court, iu rising sentence, ex pressly stated that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. was but the nominal defendant, the Standard ,011 Company of N'tw Jersey being the real defendant;' and every word, di scontinued on Page Seven.)
