Aug. 13. -That President Roosevelt will meet and congratulate the American athletes who took part in the Olymplo games In London Is likely, al though the president cannot be In this otty to participate In the .celebration being ar ranged in their honor.

FRENZY THE CAUSE Tragedy Follows Meeting; at Which He Worked Himself In to High Pitch of Excitement, Un balancing Minn. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 11-Drlven Insane by religious mania, H. J. Dutty, CO years of age, today attacked and killed his son and daughter with an axe, and then rut his own throat with a raxor, inflicting fatal injuries. The tragedy occurred early this morning in the extereme northwestern part of the city. Dufty lived at the home of his son, Fred Dufty. He had been on the verge of violent Insanity, It is said, for weeks, from religious enthusiasm. Last night he at tended a. religious meeting and worked himself Into a frenay. When he arose this morning he was sud denly seised with a desire to kill. Secur Ing a sharp blsded axe he stealthily en tered the bedroom of his son while tha latter lay asleep. He crept close to the side of the bed and raising the weapon, brought It down with terrific force across ths neck of the son. The blow was de livered with such tremendous force that the head of the victim was severed com pletely from the body. Crashes Danarhter'S SknII. With the shout of a maniac, Dufty rushed from the house and down the street wav ing hla bloody weapon. Reaching the house At 451 Northwest Lake avtnue, where his wife and daughter resided, he opened; the front door and entered. Mrs. Ada Lacornb, the daughter, with her mother, was In a roar room. Proceeding stealthily to this room, the murderer opened the connecting doors. Mrs. La comb stood with her back to him. Without a word of warning, he swung the axe high In the air and cleft his daughter's skull. Her whole head was crushed in from the blow. Mrs. Dufty fled through a rear floor, closely pursued by the maniac, striking at her with ths axe. She succeeded in elud ing him, her cries attracting the attention of neighbors, who came to her aid. Cats Throat on Street. Dufty then walked to the street, where he drew a razor from his pocket and slashed his own throat, inflicting injuries which will doubtless cause his death. Mrs. Dufty was severely gashed on the elbow by a blow from the axe as she was fleeing from the murderer. Several weeks ago Dufty went to Evergreen cemetery, where he purohased lot from the eext6n large enough for the burial of four persons, explaining that he wanted It for himself, son and daughter. Three days ago he went to an undertaker and purchased a coffin for himself. Son Did Not Awaken. Fred Dufty, the son, waa 24 year old and unmarried. He, was an automobile machinist. It was evident from tha con dition of the son's body and the room In which both men had slept that, tha son had n'ver awakened. The daughter lived with her husband, Ferdinand Lacom, a painter, and their 6-year-old daughter. Mrs. Dufty and her husband had been divorced and she had gone to the home of her daughter to nurse her through' ap proaching childbirth.' When Dufty en tered the house she asked:' "Where Is Fred?" "Oh, he's gone' to work," responded the( old man, quietly. "But he has not had hla breakfast." ' persisted the mother. v '. . No, but he go up late and thought he would get something to eat" downtown," replied the murderer." 1 . Before entering the Lacom home Dufty concealed his axe in a sack which he car ried. The old man sat, nervously finger ing the sack while- the women proceeded to prepare breakfast. Suddenly he got up, drew the bloody axe from the sack and attacked them.

While the repub licans In the legislature passed the bill iri the house with votes to spare, Quacken- bush did help them out and he will im press this fact on the voters of the metro politan city in an effort to prove to them they are under more obligations to him than to Fleharty. who merely come to Lin coln to fight the Omaha-South Omaha merger. Some of the democrats are now wishing the notification meeting had been held elsewhere, so that Nebraska would read rather than see what really happened. They believe a bad mistake was made. They counted on the enthusiasm being so great that It would sweep the state off its feet. The fact that Mayer Dahlman was more sought after than either Bryan, Berge or Shallenbarger haa upset the party leaders. They are fearful that Mayor Jim made more out of the meeting tnan did Bryan nlraself. - Want Brran to Speak. Invitations to visit various sections of the country and deliver speeches came thick and fast today upon William J. Bryan. California's request for a visit again was pressed upon him by Charles Edelman of San Francisco, with the result that the democratic candidate la giving the matter serious consideration. Readvllle, Mass., wants him there August 26 to witness the trotting derby, the first event of the kind, it is said, ever to occur in the United States. Assurances were given that there would be no gambling or pool selling, but as Mr" Bryan on that day will be In In dianapolis, a fact which A. C. Drlnkwater, a member of tha notification committee, overlooked when extending the Invitation, ha of course waa compelled to decline. Through Henry C. Clayton and R. H. Walker. Montgomery. Ala., expressed its desire for hi presence August 19. Mr. Bryan expressed a desire to again go south. He said that he always had been cordially received there, and was greatly Indebted to the southern people for their uniform support and kindness, but that the campaign waa too young at tthla time for him to make any definite, announcement as to what hla engagement shall be on that date. Ha hoped that after a conference with the national committee ha might be able to go to Montgomery, and possibly some other points In the southern statea, in response to numerous Invitations. "I am glad to say." Mr. Bryan remarked, "that all these lnvltatlnons assure me that I will receive the electoral vote of not only Alabama, but all tha other southern states." , i Blar Stlek Gear!,. A notable Incident of the day waa the presentation to Mr. Bryan by farmers from Otoe county, Nebraska, of ''big stick" . gourd. ruwn la the stale.

Tho first was accepted, but the latter was refused unanimously. . a committee was appointed to confer with the followers of Jcse Miguel Gomel. tor tne purpose of anarglng terms of fusion, which probably will result In Senor Oomes becoming the presidential candi date of the united liberals. i.ne unexpected strength shown by the conservatives In the recent .elections for municipal officers made It apparent that liberal fusion waa essential to success in the presidential election In December,, but the bitterness of the relations among the leaders of the rival factions had been re garded as an almost Insuperable obstacle to this end. The sudden retirement of Henor Zayas has caused great surprise. SECOND CORONATION FOR SHAH First Time Tiara Fell from His Head, stringing- una Lack to Hela-n. ST.
