Ten shots were fired in rapid succession and both men were wounded.

' The Rubev Amendment Passed Both Houses of Assembly, To be Voted on by the People at the Next General Election. Jefferson City, Mo., March 14.— The house yesterday passed Rubey’s senate aimendinent proposition or free text books in the public schools It provides a system ne getting the books which is not exactly like that of any other state in the Cuion, The resolution having passed both the houses is now ready to go on the of- ficial ballot to be voted on by the people at the next general election. The wording uf the amendmentifol- lows: Section 1. That article 10 of the constitution of the state of Missouri be and the same is thereby amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section twenty-seven (27), which is in the words and fig- ures as follows: Section 27, A state tax of 5 cents on the $100 assessed valuation shall be levied and collected annually on all objects und subjects of taxation, All moneys derived from seid levy shall be set apart and apportioned tothe school districts of the state annually as other school moneys are apportioned by law, Hvery-sehoet district shall, out of said moneys, supply text books on orthography, reading, English, penmanship, arith- * Unglish grammar, modern . history of the United tes, civil government and plysi- ology and hygiene for the nse of ehil- dren in the public sehools and the re- mainder, if any, may be used for the purchase of text books for the higher grades for like use or for otherschool purposes. The vote on the resolution was the most decisive that has been cast on the question that has been the sub ject of difference this winter Itstood: Aves 125, noes 7 The entire Repub licanand Filipino combination threw its vote in favor of the resolution, A few hours before the same men had voted to slaughter the administra tion’s pet mensnre, the Davidson school text book bill. When the caucus Democrats saw the Ruby reso- lution had no chance of defeat they swung into line for it. Even Gipson, who had made a speech against the measure and used that argument, most condemning in Missouri, that noby else had exactly the same ays: tem, voted for this measure.. Gra ham, who speaks for the Filipino wing maden strong for this meas ure, asserting that all Southwest Mis souri was in favor of it The meas ure is clearly a step in the direction of sroved schools in the poorer counties, but means that the rich counties will have to help pay for their books, provided the people vote to adopt the amendment. EXTRA SESSION THIS FALL, Mr. Roosevelt Not Satistied With the Senate’s Work. Washington, March 14.—President Roosevelt informed Senator Cullom chairman of the foreign relations committee yesterday morning that if the senate approved the Cuban reciprocity treaty with theconditions imposed by the Democrats and agreed to by Republican senators he would hold himself free to call an extra session of cougress in the fall. At the same time he made the state- ment that if the treaties failed through the neglect of senators to remain in Washington and maintain a quorum, he would consider himself justified in calling another extra ses- sion. The president did not commit him- self positively to the extra session call, but in expressing his views on the subject he left no room to doubt that the extra session would be call ed, The president stated that an extra session of congress called ut this time would not be warranted as it could act in the fall-before the sugar crop could be harvested. He left himself entirely free to name the exact date later, but made it clear that congress would be assembled in time to adopt the resolution by both branches of congress and perfect the treaties before the regular session.

Philadelphia, March 16.—The police authorities have directed the opening of thirty-four graves, having secured evidence which leads them to believe that George Hossey, the negro “herb ductor,” is responsible for at least that many deaths. Hossey is in jail as an accessory to the murder of William G. Danse, whose widow is charged with having administered to her husband slow poison furnished by the negro. “We donot know how many poi- sonings can be traced to Hossey,” said a police ofticial today. “Thus far we have secured evidence that has warranted ue in directing the open ing of thirty-four graves, This step will begin at once and we believe the result will show that the assistant district attorney, Mr, Shoey, was not exaggerating when he branded Hos- sey as an arch poisoner, “Thiecase is assuming proportions far beyond the comprehension of those connected with it at the time Hossey was arrested. ‘The real in- vestigation is just beginning, and be- fore it proceeds much further start- ling developments will crop up There may be several other arrests, but they are not likely to come until the organs of the bodies exhumed have been examined by the chem- iste.” Detectives are searching for a white woman, alleged to have represented Hossey in the preliminary dealings with his patrons, Seventy letters, written mostly by women, have been found in the home of Hossey, These letters, said to be of an incriminating nature, vary lit tle in their terme, and, it is asserted, show that Hossey charged $100 for every case, Some of the letters point to payment of the fee in installments Asks $40,000 Alimony, K, C, Star, 16th. Dora B. Synder filed suit for divorcee in the circuit court this afternoon against Victor D. Snyder. She de- mands ak.nony in the sum of $40, 000, asserting that her husband is worth $80,000, and the custody of the children, two in number. She further prays for an order restrain- ing Mr. Snyder from taking posses sion of the furniture in the home at 4010 Oak street and of $600in bank, which she claims as personal prop- erty. They were married in Butler, Mo., in 1888 and separated last Septem ber. Mrs. Snyder was formerly Miss Dora Patten, a very pretty young lady of this city a citizen of this town and served one term as Alderman. He afterwards went to Kansas City and vot into trouble through a book swindling operation, was convicted and sent to the penitentiary at Jefferson City. from which institution he has recent- ly been released The Southwest Mo.
