C., Feb. | Skinner, a cotton broker of prominent family, was shot on the street this after- noon by Ernest Haywood, a lawyer be- longing to an cld and estecmed family and enjoying a large practice. After the shooting Haywood turned to a Deputy up his pistol and surron-; dered himself. He was immecdiately con- | veyed to the Sheriff's office, where four | of ‘the leading attorneys were called in | for consultation. Skinner fell on the streetcar track and died almost imme- diately. A moment before the shooting Hay- wood and Skinner were seen in conve: tion on the sidewalk in front of the post- office. The interview was brief and not °r to tract attention. Skin- ! 21.—Ludlow ner turned and started across the street and as he stepped from the curbstone Haywood drew a revolver from his pocket and fired and immediately shot a second time.

A few | | days ago she reeeived an insulting letter from Haywood and it is reported that Skinner and Haywood had an encounter over it at their first meeting after the | letter was recetved. It appears that Skinner expected an at- | tack by Haywood, for after the killing it was found he had a pistol In his pocket, though he did not draw it and did net have the opportunity to do so. | Haywood is both prominent and popu- lar here, but public sentiment was very strong against him to-night. Skinner was a quiet and inoffensive man. He was a son of Rev. T. E. Skinner, D. D., a re- tired minister. His mother died at an ad- vanced age and was buried yvesterday.

OF ALLEGED ARIS, Feb. 21.—The Humberts | scored their first notable success to-day, when the Ninth Correc- | tional Chamber announced their acquittal in the libel suit brought against them by M. Cattaul, the banker. | Public interest in the result was very | great and the courtroom was crowded by | an eager crowd. The costs of the prose- | cution were assessed against M.

The Government espe- | cially acquits Frederick Humbert, Madame Humbert and Marie d’Aurignac, her sister, who were the chief persons accused. When the acquittal was Madame Humbert exclatmed: “At last the volce of justice is heard.” The result of the trial was expected, and although it marks a temporary tri- umph for the Humberts it is not consi ered to affect the main case, which in- announced volves the authenticity of the Crawford millions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The state- hood compromise, which is expected to unlock the present tangle in the Senate and remove the blockade, proposes to admit two States, one to be Oklahoma, according to its present boundaries, with a proviso that Indian Territory shall be added to Oklahoma In 1306, when the treaty obligations with the Indlans will not be in the way. The other State is to be composed of New Mexico and Arizona, under the name of Montezuma, with a proviso that when the present Territory of Arizona has a population of 300,000 peo- ple it shall become a separate State, pro- vided that the people of the Territory affected vote in favor of being divided from New Mexico. Senators Beveridge and Nelson, both members of the Committee on Territories, are loth to accept any compromise, save that which the majority originally pre- sented. Their position is that the omni- bus bill is defeated and that Senator Quay, who has been so persistently press- ing it, has lost strength by his course in supporting Senator Morgan during the latter’s fight against the canal treaty. Senator Spooner reported to his colleagues that there was no legal difficulty in the way of ,admitting Oklahoma and after- ward attaching Indian Territory to the B ihe aiviston of New Mexico and Ari- zona is to be made upon a proclamation | by the President when there is a popula- tion of 300,000 in Arizona, but objection has been raised by the Democrats to this suggestion as it now stands, because no provision Is made for a census, and it would be at least 1910 before any test could be made " BEATING CAUSES PATIENT'S DEATH Legislators Investigate Alleged Brutality in Idaho Asylum.
