The shoot was caused by a U.aiel -cvvt-en the thr23 men over an aliened uort--ge in Turner's account, he was threatened with prosecution. The tragedy occu: rd In the of.ices cf the law firm Cart nr. Adams Meln-ley, in the of the Wall street district.

during the busy noon hour. Turner, who was 45 years old and lived at Mount Vernon. N. a suburb cf this city, was a cousin cf Governor Odell of this state. The lrad cf the law firm in vh- se offices the shooting occurred is Pre-sideiit Cantor of th borough of Manhattan.

Scon after the rhsts rirg out in th-? otlice building a wild rumor started that the borough president had been killed. All the principals in the tragedy were married. Mallard was 36 old and a native of Atlanta, where he was well known in business and social circles. Hamilton lived in Pittsburg, where he was president of the J. T.

and A. Hamilton glass "acttries. He was about CO years of age. He arrived at New York yesterday In response to a telegram from Turner received at Pittsburg which reid: "Meet me In New York Friday and I will scttlo v.ith you."

Some moments later, hearing r.o more shots, the persons who fled returned back into the room and found the three bodies.

FATAL FREEDOM With Which Jose Beltran Will Soon Be Blersed. Jose Redtran, an inmate of the penitentiary at Yuma, has Just one more week to serve. He will probably wish that that one week might be stretched out into fifty years, for soon after the xpiratlon of his sentence he will most likely be overtaken by a sudden and violent death. The fact is that he ia wanted at Juarez. Mexico, for the murder of a chief of police there several years ago.

He was then known as Nicolas Ladamez. He escaped Imme'di-ately after the murder and came to this territory, where he took the name of Reltran. A little less than four years ago he was convicted In Yavapai county of grand larceny and was sentenced to the penitentiary for four years. His term will expire next Wednesday. A couple of months ago the Mexican authorities learned that Beltran was the murderer of the chief of police, and steps were taken for his return to that republic.

Application was made to Governor Brod'e for his surrender upon the completion of his sentence, and the matter was referred to the state department. The governor has been authorized to turn Eeltran over to the-Mexican authorities, and Senor ELEGATES CONVENTION of before the plan Is accepted by the miners will be that of taking care of all the men. The condition of the mines are such that all the workmen cannot be given work immediately and some will have to wait for weeks before the companies can take care of them. The operators net dismiss the non-union men In order to give employment to the returning strikers. It Is understood that the union will take care of all such men who fail to find employment.

This will be done by drawing funds from the relief fund, which is said to be still growing. Antonio Ponce de Leon, chief of police for the district of Juarez, arrived yesterday armed with authority to receive him. Before hs can be surrendered there must be the formality of an examination which will take place at Tucson before the United States commissioner next Thursday, the day after the expiration of the sentence, when Beltran will be identified by an officer from th'j penitentiary of Texas, where he had been confined before the, commission of the murder. Reltran or, as he was then known. Ladamez has a long criminal record.

He had been convicted in Texas of a crime and sent to the penitentiary for a long term. He escaped before the expiration of his term ar.d went to New Mexico. He was guilty of several crimes in the vicinities of Mesiila and Las Cruces. When New Mexico got too hot for him he fled across the border, and it was while he was crossing that bo killed the chief of police who was trying to arrest him. The official from the penitentiary who has ccme to identify him says that inasmuch as the republic of Mexico will dispose of him forever.

Texas puts In no claim to him as a fugitive. The Mexican way Is the cheaper, quicker and the more permanent. Senor Antonio Ponce de Leon Is the most military looking gentleman who has invaded this territory for a long time. He Is clad with the regalia of hi3 office, a black suit resplendent with braid and shoulder straps. He also carries a sword, with which he does not Intend to kill Beltran, but which he wears for the purpose of showing that he can kill him if he wants to.

Beltran will not live long after he crosses the line at El Paso. He has already been doomed. All the Mexican authorities have been waiting for all these years was the victim. EECOEPER HARD LOT Why Ee Is So Fierce Daytimes and So Meek at Night. The city recorder had twa cases to deal with yesterday.

Each case is a threc-pct drama with various scenes in each act. and but two acts in each case have been presented so far. Harry Watson was found in a box car the night before along with a bridge builder, who gave the officer a strong tali and evaded arrest. Harry's command of language was les? Impressive nnel he was jailed on a vagrancy charge. Act II found him in police court, where he Faid he was an or.es from 'Jerome, etc.

It ended by the ret order tcdling him if he ically desired tc be sentenced he would accommodate him If he appeurod In court at 4 p. in. today. Act III will probably see handsome Harry hiding hor.cely. The ether case was ore of th kind that makes everybody sad.

The defendants were two half-grown lids who feared the frightful sentence that is 'likely to follow their riding on the Fidewalk after the warnings of the pence. Their counsel was their mother, who appeared in act II and pleaded r.nlv mother can. and who brought into action an array cf extenuating circumstances that appalled the court. She was sad, of course, and the Judg? hearing her arguments wa3 sadder than anybody. He thought first that he would gc- to jail himself in atonement to the outraged law and let tho youngsters free to worry the democratic police some- more.

Then he thought ajrain and decided that he wouldn't, because the' democrats are almost worried tc death now. So he had cne of the boys put up his bioyel? as a bond that both of them would appear in court today and try to square things up some way. The ays he is worried more by children that are enough to know and too young ti pur.ih, and who are tronerallv triven free rin by their pr- i "nts. thin bv all th-1 ro't cf the com munity con-biro'-). Hp Jrvec chndren betifr than anybody, but has found out that the only safe Cme to let hi heart melt Is when there are no children around.

He tries to do most cf his "yearning" at night, so nobody will catch him at it. THE Tir.URON EXPLORATION. Arizona Charlie and Party Return to Los Angeles. Los Angeles, October 17. The "'Arizona Charlie" party of Tiburon Island explorers reached Ixis Angeles today, having made the voyage through the Gulf of California and up the Colorado river.

Several landings were made on the island, and once the party went about five miles inland, but no effort was made to explore further. The natlvas were friendly. Charles Meadows faid that while he did net think tha Serl Indians wire any above being cannibals, he had no fear, and would willingly undertake to rid the island of them with a weil armed force of thirty or forty men. The natives are armed with bows and arrows and a few knives. There ai two tribes cf Indians on the island, or at least two divisions of the Seris, one of which would not make friends with the explorers and seemed hostile when approached.

IRELAND'S FUTURE BY JOHN REDMOND His Party to Become the Controllicg One of Great Eritain. October 17. On the steamship New England, which arrived tiom Quot-nstown and Liverpool today were John E. Redmond, M. chairman of tho Irish parliamentary party and president of the United Irish league: John Dillon, M.

P. for East Mayo, and Michael Davitt. Their arrival had been long looked forward to by all Irishmen. a3 thp.y are to address the numbers of the United Irish league which will hold its national convention In this city beginning Sunday night. Mr.

Redmond in of the present conditions in Ireland and ni matters relating to the United Ir ish leagu-said: "The. United Irish leagu9 is the ruiing power In Ireland today as truly as ever the Lnnd league was. The government was plfced into our hands by the coerc ion policy and now the country Irs aroused. We nre on the settlement of the Irish land question and after that national self-government will speedily rome- to Ireland. The Irish party new in th-! house of commons is the only real opposition in the English parliament, and I believe the day is near at hand when it will have the-controlling Influence in Great Britain.

Hundreds of Irishmen are Imprisoned under the coerc ion ac without receiving any trial by jury. But nobody cares for imprisonment under these circumstances. The more the people are attacked the higher their spirits rise." JUST COMMON SENSE Changed the Whole Thing. "I used coffee all my life until two years ago, when I was forced to discontinue it," writes a- lidy firm Memphis, Term. "My health became so wretched that was almost a burden.

"I suffered almost continuously with nervous headache, dyspepsia and excruciating pains in my back. My. heart action was feeble, and I suffered in-tearely from a feeling of suffocation oppression. Wan extremely email-ciated and debilitated, and so nervous that the slightest exertion cr excitement would produce very distressing symptoms. My physician pronounced my trouble nervous could give slight relief.

"A friend urged me to stop di inking coffee and try Portum Food Coffee and r.clz the result. My first tr ial was not satisfactory, owing to the indifference of the cook, but the next time, she followed directions carefully, and I 'cund it decidedly good. After using it about two months, I awok-3 to the fact that my bad symptoms had almost totally disappeared, and that my health was better than It had been for sis -ears. I had nr. headache; my heart troubled me only at rare intervals: could eat with perfect imymnity gained llesh, and was generally much stronger than formerly.

"I had dl -continued medical treatment when I be'gan to use Fostum, and ccirir.cn sense supports me In the conviction tint Ptstum alone was the cur-otive agent in my case. My children are quiti fond of it. and I take comfort in the thought that in Fostum they obtain both food and drink and run no risk of injury to their digestive or-rans. No one has healthisr children thf-n and thir alone is sufficient to 1 prove Us value." Name given by Pos-tum Battle Creek, MicJi. MESA OUTPOURING FOR MR.

MORRISON Tliers Was No Kail Big Enoujii far the Cravd. The Same Favor fcle Impression Made There as Elsewhere A Further Exposure of the Statehood Argument. Mesa was the next stopping point on the triumphal tour of Hon. Robert E. Morrison last night.

The people of that wide awake town did not believe it was possible to bring out so many people to political meeting, but they were there. The largest hall in the place was Inadequate to hold the rowd. A special tiain which left here at half past six o'clock arrived at Mesa a after seven. Mr. Morrison, who had KjK'nt the day at Tempe, boarded the train along with many of his friends.

At Mesa the train was met by a large delegation preceded by the Mesa band. The ciowd, which was new a large uiie, was led by the band and the band of Phoenix to the largest hail in the town. People had come in from the surrounding country. The were filled with vehicles. The capacity of the hall is about tiOO, and it was filled to the limit.

Many who were anxious to see and hear Mr. Morrison were unable to get in. Upon the plattcrm with Mr. Mcrrison were the county candidates. The enthusiasm of tha audience had been manifested upon the arrival of Mr.

Morrison in the city, and it grew uv.til the last word had been spoken. i The first speaker of the evening was Judge Klbbey, who was Introduced by the chairman. Judge Klbbey spoke fcr the most pai of the territorial issues, though he also dwelt generally on the piosperity which had attended the rule of the republican party. He concluded hi address with a eulogy of Mr. Morrison, who he said, though not so large a man physically as Colonel Wilson, was immeasurably larger in his capacity for usefulness as a delegate to congress.

The reception of Mr. Morrison when he was introduced must have been extremely gratifying to him. The warmth of it w-as never surpassed at a political mot-ting. The reminded him throughout 'the address that it was in full sympathy with him. lie discussed the trust question In a clear manner, and he went over the platfcrn.s of the two parties, shcnvlr.g that the republican party of the territory had given the farmer ami the la-bo; cr an earnest of its purpose to benefit them.

On the other hand the democratic platform promised what it could not perform, and which it was well known it could r.ct. The party had never done anything of value for any clss of citizens, either in thi3 territory or the nation at large. The most telling part of the speech of Mr. Morrison was the exposure erf the only argument of the territorial demcerats In favor of the election of Col. Wilson, that it Is necessary to secure statehood.

That is a doctrine that Marcus A. Smith is ir. luxuriously r-caching in th? scath. Mr. Morrison quoted an interview In the Tucson Post with Senator A.

G. Foster of Washington, a somewhat higher authority than Mr. Smith, in which he said that a republican senate wculd not bo particularly Inclined toward a territory which had no other merit than that it had gone democratic. The impression created by Mr. at Mesa was the same favorable one that he has1 made wherever he has been during the His next stepping place will be at Florence.

At the close of the meeting Chairman Lewis announced thit a water meeting would be held next Monday. COMMERCIAL FINANCIAL Corn Booming on Chicago Board of Trade.
