ATHLETES TO OYSTER BAY
President Roosevelt Invites American
Delegation to Olympiad to
Hla Summer Home.
NEW YORK. 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. A letter from the
president to that effect was received by
Secretary MeLoughlln of the Olymplo
athletes reception committee. Mr. Roose
velt Indicated his pleasure at having been
named honorary president of ths com
mittee, but said that it would be impos
sible for him to attend the reception. He
closed the letter by extending an invitation
to the members of the team to come to
Oyster Bay, where, he said, he would be
glad to greet them. Arrangements will
probably be made by the athletes to visit
the president.
The committee In charge of the recep
tion also received a latter from Governor
Hughes In which the governor said ha
would be glad to arrange for the par
ticipation of the national guard in the
parade that will take place on the day the
team arrives.
Twelve American athletes. Including
John C. Carpenter of Cornell university,
who was disqualified after finishing first
In the 400-meter race, returned to New
York today on the steamer Majestic. In
relating his version of the much-discussed
Incident of the famous race, Carpenter
said:
"I have no recollection of having touched
Lieutenant Hallswelle at all. -I feel keenly
the Injustice of having been disqualified
for alleged unfair tactics. I did nothing to
win my disqualification."
Among others of the' athletes on board
the Majestic were Forest' SmttlTaon, who
won the 110-meter hurdlr;rWES&reaklng
tha. world's record; J. A. Recter who fin
ished second in the 100 trusters-; fllirry Hill

Tragedy Follows Meeting; at Which
He Worked Himself In to High
Pitch of Excitement, Un

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.

democratic votes. He will make hla plea
to the Douglas county voters on his record
on the terminal tax bill. 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. Il is about fivs
feet In lengtti and .easily might be taken
fur the original, if there ever was one,
which has been so generally caricatured.

psInTed In lr blkek letters!
Notwithstanding' that, with a great num
ber of holdover visitors to tha notification
thatieama tmt to ralrvtew Mr. Bryan found
time to dispose of considerable correspond
ence and make good) progress with ' the
speeches he Intend to deliver at Indian
spoils and elsewhere.
Chairman Clattoa upon leaving tha Bryan
home expressed himself tn a statement
given out for publication as having been
delighted With the. attendance of tha people
upon the notification .of yesterday. The
notification committee Is Indebted to Gov
ernor Sheldon. Postmaster 8lser and every
city official from Mayor Brown down for
courtesy and kindness. The hospitality of
II the people of Lincoln could not ha
been surpassed.

HAVANA, Aug. 13. At a meeting held
last night of the executive committee of
the liberal party, Alfredo Zayas tendered
his resignation as a candidate for the
presidency of the ' yepubllo and also as
president of the liberal party. 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

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 13.-A dispatch
received here from Teheran says a mis
understanding has arisen between M. Hart

Llakhoff, the military governor of Teheran,
over the arrest of two Russians for carry

ers to be released and addressed a sharp
remonstrance to neral Llakhoff to the
effect that Russians should not be arrested

Another communication from the Persian
capital says that preparations are being
made for a second coronation of the shah.
During the first coronation two years ago,
the tiara fell from his majesty's brow, and
