9. The big program which has taken a month to shoot off Avas brought to a chose- tonight with a banquet given in honor of the visiting teams. The final events of the rifle and revolver 'matches held under the auspices of the; National Rifle Asso With four candidates in the rfield for the office of National Commander of the Army and Navy Union, one of the hottest fights in the history of the organization is anticipated when the ballots are cast tomorrow morning. Two of the candidates are members of the. Department of New York; a.

third is from St. Louis, and the fourth: from this city. While the fight for the highest office in the Union is being waged, another ciation, the International Union, and the COATICOOK. Quebec, Sept. 9.

Harry K. Thaw stood on a hill overlooking Coaticook this evening and watched the setting sun. High grass brushed his knees, night birds fluttered in a patch of woods nearby. It was the first outing of its kind the slayer of Stanford White has had in nearly seven years. In the asylum at from which he escaped Thaw had to.

take his exercise in a courtyard, but when he asked for an airing today his guards led him up to the hill, to the west of the village and for nearly half an hour they stumbled through the tangled grass and weeds. Thaw's cheeks were glowing and he was laughing when at dusk he ascended the stairs to the immigration pen over the railway station. Reports reached Coaticook tonight from Montreal that Thaw's lawyers might desire his presence there on Thurs- Special to The Inautra. BEVERLY, N. Sept.

9. There is promise of vividly sensational testimony when the grand jury conducts an early investigation into a shooting affray which occurred- in Beverly lat night when Captain Frank J. Toner, commander of Beverly's crack company of the State National Guard, member of a local liquor firm and well-known in several river front towns, was shot in the If ft leg by William McLean, a negro. The shooting occurred at the home of McLean and was witnessed by the wife of the latter and another negress. Captain Toner exchanged shots with his assailant and put a bullet in the right leg of McLean.

Community Arouied The shooting caused a sensation here, and the temper of the community was said to be such that Toner will be requested to immediately resign his com 1 Vj If ir4. battle of votes will take place for the position of National Adjutant General jday, four days before he is to be brought before the King Bench on the writ ot mand pending the settlement of the cae in court. Members of a crowd attracted hy the sound of the shots 31EX1CO CITY, Sept. 0. The probability that negotiations between the United States and Mexico would be resumed at an early date was the opinion expressed today at the American Embassy, although Nelson O'Shanghnessy, charge d'affaires, was noncommittal as to whether he had been advised of a new proposal or.

officially of Washington's determination to make a further effort at adjustment. It is significant, however, that he has advised President Wilson's representative, Mr. I-iind, who is now at Vera Cruz, to return as far as Orizaba, about one-third the distance to the capital, Mr. Land seemingly not wishing to come to the capital until the preliminaries had reached a stage where he felt assured his services could be utilized. Whether.

Mr. I-and will act on thia recommendation is not at present known. The Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs, Senor Camboa, still denier; knowledge of the. reported official character of Senor l)o Zamacona's visit to Washington. pleaded ignorance of the Amer-ieaii vn ei miient's intention to make further overtures, although he expressed the belief that the action on the part of the United States was not unlikely as Mexico was not without a rejoinder to her i-ecnnd note.

Mexico, he said, was willing, as always, to take under consideration any proposition which might be forthcoming. General Huerta and his minister are engaged in daily conferences over the character of the message which the provisional president is to deliver at the opening of Congress, Sept. 1G. The message promises to be sensational, as it will deal extensively with the relations between the two republics. Rebel activitiy is reported in consular dispatches at several' points.

Bryan, He Divides Honors Between Songs and Movie say that McLean admitted" that he shot Pan-Amenacn Lnion, were shot on the ranges here The miniature shooting championship of the world and $100 in gold was won today by John G. Schneering of Moore, Penna. He is connected with the Frank-ford Arsenal. Out of the possible 1000, he scored USO. Artificer Edward Sweeting, of Warren, takes home $325 in prize money.

New Jersey and Pennsylvania contestants left this afternoon for the Sea Girt shoot in the Special with the United States Infantry and Cavalry teams. Greatest In' History: The feature event that brought to a close the 1913 meeting, already recorded as the greatest and most important in the history of American shooting, was the Pan-American team with rifles. Three teams, representing the United States, Peru and the Argentine Republic, competed. The final stages of the individual reentry rifle match under the auspices of the Pan American Union and of the grand international individual re-entry match also were shot. In the running deer match, C.

J. Osborne, of United States Navy, won first place with a score of 50; E. D. Myrick, United States Navy, second with 49; W. A.

Uee, United States Navy, scored 4T; Bjorkman, Sweden, 47 and C. H. Cobb, United States Navy, 4G. In the individual match with the armv al election were pleased to learn yesterday that David II. Lane, chairman of the Republican City Committee, as soon as the nominations shall be made at the primaries contemplates inviting Congressman-elect John A.

Peters, who carried the old Blaine district last Monday, to address one or more Republican meetings in this city-during the local "The result in Maine," said Mr. Lane, "foreshadows what will happen in Pennsylvania and in every other of the country in November. The Republicans are becoming once more united and they will be found working in harmony for the. success of the party in. every part of the Union.

Our own personal registration thus far and the reports from every county in the State give the best evidence that can be had of popular sentiment. There are many industrial plants in the old Blaine district and in these establishments the employes as well as the proprietors, realize the evil results that are certain to come from the enactment of the Democratic tariff bilL. I look for large Republican majorities in every section of Philadelphia and throughout the State at the coming election." Republican ward executive committees met last night and arrangements were made to insure a large registration of Republicans next Saturday, the last day for registration. Reformers Seek Volunteers An tppeal was yesterday issued by the Committee of One Hundred for 5000 volunteers to act as watchers and workers at the polls on registration day, next Saturday, and at the next Tuesday. It is pointed out that there are approximately 170,000 unregistered voters in this city, who must register next Saturday, if they shall be qualified to vote.

It was also announced that the Women's League for Good Government has enlisted in the movement and will supply automobiles for registration day and at the primaries.

A Philadelphian is also one of the candidates for this office. The Pennsylvania delegates are expected to make a strong effort to have the highest officials chosen from this city. The Northern States have been successful during the past three years in having the highest offices, and as a result the Southern and Western delegations are said to be in the "field thi year for some high office. It is probable, according to several of the officers, that the Southern delegation will enter a "dark horse When the polls are officially opened at. 9 o'clock tomorrow morning in the ballroom of the Hotel, Walton.

Ogden Lake, Department Commander of Pennsylvania and a resident of this city, it is thought, will be chosen National Commander. His election is not assured, however, despite the fact that he, has the support of this State, New Jersey, Delaware and several of the Middle West States.

He added that he had received a telephone message from his mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, and his sister, Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, who arrived today in Oration From Actresses A musical comedy company enroute to Sherbrooke stopped at Coaticook for 20 minutes thia afternoon and broke the monotony of the scene outside the fugitives window. Ten girls, mot of them blondes, shrieked messages ox good will to him, turkey-trotted up and down the station platform for his edification and cheered shrilly when the train pulled out. Thaw stood at the window the while, laughing, clapping his hands and nodding approval.

James McKee, the justice of the peace who signed the warrant for the arrest of William Travers Jerome, acquitted last night on a charge of gambling, said today that he was not entirely satisfied that- Magistrate Mulvena, of Sherbrooke, had acted legally in presiding at the hearing and that he (McKee) would consult counsel to determine to' kill, having fired four bullets at Toner, only one taking effect. The negro walked to the office of Justice of the Peace Walter Fenimore following the shooting and gave himself up to the police, admitting that he had shot Toner. Toner also surrendered himself to the oflicers and both men were taken to the office of a physician, where their wounds were dressed. Snyn He Warned Toner McLean told the police he had warned Captain Toner to away from his home. Toner, on the other hand, says he was only delivering an order of liquor to the McLean woman at the time of the shooting.

McLean is said to have suddenly appeared on the scene, lirst threatening to kill his wife, then suddenly opening fire on Captain Toner, who returned the lire as soon as he could draw his revolver. 'Squire Fininiwc gave the two prisoners a hearing thi.s morning, holding each under $u00 bail for court, while the women were held under $300 bonds each as witnesses. All secured bondsmen. Captain Toner is a widower and has two young children. Physicians said today that the wounds are not of a serious nature unless complications arise.

In the hope that, the traffic at the most congested downtown corners of the city may be better regulated by a system of. semaphore JIHrector Porter has ordered a trial of a new signal board at Broad and Chestnut streets. The board will probably be iested on next Thursday or Priday and if successful will be installed generally.

When seen yesterday the Director stated that he was not confident that the new system would be successful, saying that it is simply being given a trial. It was an idea which he developed, he added, and he hoped that it would solve the traffic congestion for all time. The board stands about eight feet high and contains two arms, upon both of which is painted "closed." When both armg-are raised the signal looks like a large T. The board will be placed at Broad and Chestnut streets, and will only regulate traffic going south on the west side of Broad 'street. It will be placed at the end of the line of rope which how divides west Broad street at that point into fw6 alleys.

right hand alley is for traffic which is going straight down Broad street, and the left hand alley: for traffic which will swing east on Chestnut street. The signal board will in noway affect traffic on Chestnut street, but it will be regulated by the traffic policeman doing duty on that corner. When Chestnut street is opened for traffic the "Closed" sign will be raised against, the South Broad street bound vehicles, and when the latter is' opened, the "Closed, sign will hold back vehicles intending to turn east on Chestnut street.

While the official tabulation of attendance at Media in the afternoon and (ilenolden in the veening has not been completed, a conservative estimate would place it at 2000 and 1G0O respectively. According to the arrangements with the Chautauqua management the Secretary of State will receive a fifty-fifty split. Mr. Bryan gets the first $250, the management the next $250, and the rest is halved. Estimated from the above the Commoner received .5500 for one afternoon in Media and $400 for one evening in-(ilen'oMen.

From that, must of course, be deducted traveling expenses. One railroad ticket from Wilmington to Glen-olden and possibly the hire of an automobile from Chester to Media and from Media to Clenolden. are the sole items, although it is barely possible that the automobiles were donated by friends. There were no meals to be paid for. At supper Mr.

Bryan was the guest of Captain Alfred C. Hawkins, at "The Idle-wild." while during the ten or fifteen minutes following his evening lecture he was the guest of G. H. Lundy, chairman of the Glenolden committee. Todlers' Outlook Bad At the highest the traveling expenses were twenty-five dollars.

The profit was about $Si5 on this basis. Undoubtedly it will tide the secretary over for several days at least. It is extremely doubtful whether either "The Prince of Jugglers'' or the Tyrolean Alpine Yodlers will do as well as the secretary in a single day.

Catts later branded his former wife's statement as untrue. He admitted that he had given her money after their divorce, but stated that it was for their child.

At that time he declared Mrs. Catts was addicted to drugs and that he was contemplating taking steps to obtain the child on the grounds that her mother wra unfit to care for her. Mrs. Catts asserted that when her husband obtained the divorce she was astounded. "I did not know he was contemplating such a thing," she said on July 7, lt12.

The big room was brilliantly lighted, and the sight of the uniformed men was inspiring.

WILMINGTON, Sept. One of the features of the opening of the Delaware fttate Fair in this citv today was a parade of Wilmington business men, members of the Chamber of Commerce, for tlie double purpose of booming the fair and also calling attention to the work which is being done for Wilmington. Under Charles A. Rudolph as marshal, with General Pusey icker-sham and Captain Clarence M. Dillon as aides, about 7tO persons, each carrying a white umhrella bearing the words "Do it for Wilmington," paraded Market and other business streets and then went to the fair grounds, where there was another parade.

Managers of the Delaware State Pair were jarred this afternoon the opening day of the big exhibition when Chief of Police Black appeared with a squad of officers and closed eight places on the midway. They included a number of wheels which came under the taboo on gambling games, two dancing places and The result of this raid was that only two shows were left on the midway. During last night burglars ransacked the cigar store of John II. Jones, Market and Sixth streets, and got awav with $500 in money.
