Prominent Citizen Shot Fol
lowing Bad Feeling Caus
ed by Circular.
Brownsville. Tex., June IB.—Colonel
g H. Wreford, one of the most promi
nent cltisens of the city, was killed and
Jesse Thornhnm, n step-son of Cap
lin William Kelly, the wealthiest res
ident of this section, wns arrested last
evening charged with the shootjng. The
tragedy grows out of the Investiga
tion by the senate committee on mili
tary affairs at Washington, of the
shooting up of Brownsville by negro
soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry.
The shooting took place In front of
Captain Kelly's office yesterday. Wre
ford was shot twice with a shot gun
and died In about half an hour.
Colonel Wreford was one of Browns
vllls's leading cltlxens, a merchandise
broker and about SO years of age. Col.
one! Wreford had Issued a circular at
tacking Captain Kelly's testimony be
fore the senate military committee a
few weeks ago. Captain Kelly testified
that the negroes of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry, stationed here prior to the
raid, were discriminated against, not
only by the people, but by the police
force. In all other matters Captain
Kelly's testimony stood squarely by the
people of Brownsville. It appears that
this feature of the testimony angered
Colonel Wreford, causing him to issue
the circular which resulted in the
shooting.
CREDIT MEN BOOST
CANNON'S BOE
Chicago, June IB,—For a mild, re
tiring and more or less' unassuming
presidential boom, that' of "Favorite
Son" Joseph O. Cannon proved Itself
last night to be possessed of a large
amount of vitality.
Speaker Cannon was the guest of the
National Association of Credit Men,
which closed a three days' annual ses
sion with a banquet at the Auditorium.
Judge Peter 8. Orosscup started It.
"I am not going to speak long,” he
said: ‘‘I shall touch only the high places
of the address I had prepared, because
here I find we have my friend, the next
president of the United States.”
Then the banqueters went wild.
WALSH REBUFFED
BY THE U. S. COURT
Chicago, June IB.—John R. Walsh
met with many rebuffs and two con
cessions at the hands of Judge A. B.
Anderson In the United States district
court yesterday. The case ,of the for
mer bank president came again to the
attention of the court through the plea
of Attorney J. S. Miller for a bill of
particulars from the government, and a
further attempt to have the Indictment
against Mr. Walsh quashed on grounds
of technical errors.
The court announced It was Inclined
to sustain the indictment In all except
two counts. As there are 180 counts In
the second Indictment alone and the
first one has been sustained, the attor
neys for the government were pretty
well satisfied.
Judge Anderson also made It plain
that he would refuse to force the gov
ernment to grant a bill of particulars to
Mr. Walsh's attorneys.

These men work for a year or two for
nominal wages, and at the end of that
time are sent out as fully equipped
from both the theoretical and practi
cal sides.
Every member of the class who
wishes It, has a position. So much are
these men in demand that a number
have been engaged by large manufac
turing and contracting concerns for
several months post. An Instance Is

indy, after some scuffling, locked her
partner Into a room that was not be

really clever feat, which apparently
won applause from all her best friends.
■But worse generally follows, for
supper Is enlivened by throwing bread
pellets or any other missiles that come
handy, while afterwnrd. If the night Is
fairly warm, It la quite the thing to go
in pairs to stroll about outside on the
pavement, or In the height of summer
even to sit on the doorsteps near your
host's house.
"There Is a story of a well known
man leaving a ball who walked down
a whole row of hansoms, apparently
waiting for hire, only to find In each
a couple seated, complacently smoking
cigarettes.
"It Is really the cigarette mania, to
which young ladles are quite as much
slaves as young men, that has brought
Into fashion not only sitting out. but
sitting outside, for the advanced young
person of the day professes to And It
quite Impossible to exist for a couple
of hours without smoking. All this,
to say the least of It, is unconven

givers of balls as rowdyism within
doors, locking people Into rooms, mak

playing practical Jokes of a senseless
kind at the expense of the unfortunate
host and hostess.”
America will see next season Adellri#
Genee, the only ballet dancer who has
ever appeared at Buckingham palace.
Mile. Genre Is a favorite of Queen
Alexandra, who patronizes her not only
for her exquisite dancing, but also for
the fact that she comes from her maj
esty's own country—Denmark.
Adeline Genee has been premiere
danseuse at the Empire, where splendid
ballets are a feature of the program,
for many years. Her work has come
to be regarded as the perfection of
stage dancing, and she Is called the
modern Tagllonl.
Queen Alexandra showed her appre
ciation of the Danish ballerina's ar: by
commanding her to appear at Bucking
ham palace to entertain the king and
queen of Norway during their recent
visit. She will probably receive a sec
ond command for the coming visit of
ths king and queen of Denmark.

The squalid denlsens of Whitechapel
were treated to a fashionable wedding
In their midst whsn Miss Fanny Chan-
dos-Pole waa married to Ernest S.
Martin, heir to Sir Acquln Martin. The
anomaly of a West End wedding tak
ing place In the East End was due to
the fact that Miss Chandos-Pole was
married from ths official.residence of
her uncle. Sir George Luck, who Is
lieutenant governor of the Tower of
London. The wedding took place In
the nearest Roman Catholic church,
which Is the Church of the English
Martyrs, in Whitechapel.
A guard of wardens of the Tower,
In their picturesque "beefeater" dress,
marshaled the guests under the frown
ing walls of the hoary tower for the
reception held after the wedding at the
governor's residence. The bride's train
was borne by small train-bearers wear
ing the "beefeater" dress.
This was the only fashionable wed
ding that has taken place In the East
End for a good many years, a fM
days before, however, a bride and
bridegroom went straight from tile al
tar of a West End church to a feast
which they had arranged for the poor
of Whitechapel In connection will: a
"settlement" they were Interested In.
The term "tailor made" In the sci
ence of dress has entirely changed its
significance. Instead of Implying sim
plicity and homespun. It may be cor
rectly applied to a gown that Is made
of the costliest materials, elaborately
trimmed and fit for the most dressy
functions. Nothing but the fact that
the'trock Is made by a tailor remains
of the old “tailor made" tradition.
Tailor made dresses, new style, will
be much worn ot Ascot, the zenith of
the modleh woman's season, and In ths
latest new play at the Haymarket the
ater, renowned for the elaborate dress-
Ing of its aoelety comedies, the ac-
■es wear exquisite tailor made
gowns.
Home of the new tailor creations are
mode of such "dressy" materials as
natural colored tussore silk, elabo
rately embroidered and lace trlmnsed,
line muslin In blue and mauve, white
lawn with the tlnrst embroidery and
cobweb lace. etc.
The correct hat to wear with the 1907
tailor made frock Is a small one. trim
med with llowera or shaded plumes,
and n large feather boa to match the
hat shuuld bo worn.

London, June 1B.—The decadence of
manners In English society and the
growth of "Hooliganism" are becoming
more and more prominent as the sub
ject of lamentations In the press from
members of the older echool, who re
member the days when dignity and re
pose were distinctive of social func
tions in London. In these days the
new custom of giving "boy and girl"
entertainments, where the hostess un
dertakes to chaperon all her girl
guests—a quite Impossible feat—has
given free play to the Irresponsible
high spirits of the younger people and
horseplay, romping and general dis
order are the degenerate result
A deplorable picture of the prevail
ing state of things Is given In tits' so
ciety paper. "The World," by "A Vic
tim." Ho (or she) says: "Dancing,
oven of the romping kind. Is much too
commonplace an amusement to nil up
a whole evening, so the up-to-date
young people, when they have had
enough of the ballroom, proceed to do
a little ragging and bear fighting In
other parts of the house. Apple pie
neds are made, booby traps are set,
wardrobes ransacked, and very often
the room of the hostess herself Is vis
ited for the purpose of ‘making hay.'
Nothing, In fact, Is sacred from the
depredations of the young ladles, who
apparently are not ashamed of the
name of Hooligan, which was bestow
ed on them some little time ago.
(Hooligan corresponds to 'Tough.')

smartest balls that have been given
this season, a tall, strapping young
