PRfiTFrTOR OF HOME : PLACED IN JAIL
Despoiler of Austin Bernard's Home Allowed to Go Free. AN ASSAULT WAS MADE. 4, WHEN BERNARD FOUND FRANK MORRIS AND WIFE TOGETHER, HE THROW8 CHISEL AT MAN AND WOUNDS HIM. Drawn tighter, are the bandages about the eyes of Justice, it is declared. For trying to protect the sanctity of his own home and assaulting the despoiler, Austin Bernard was locked up in the city Jail this morning, and Frank Morris, drayman, the man accused by Bernard of being a home wrecker, was permitted the liberty of the streets and not required to offer bond. Morris owns property. It was about 8 o'clock this morning that Bernard returned unexpectedly to his home Main street. He had come back, so he says, for the purpose of helping his wife remove their household goods to a property on North Eighth street. He picked up a large chisel to use in pulling tacks as he passed through one room and en- . tered another. , His surprise, dismay and consterna tion were almost beyond imagination, when he saw, upon entering the room, his wife and Frank Morris together. -Morris heard the husband enter, and Bernard . says, arose and started to leave the room and Bernard let fly the chisel. With all his might he hurled the tool, and it caught Morris squarely across the forhead and left eye. With blood spurting from his head as from the neck of a stuck beef, Morris hastened from the room and down th stairway. There was no parleying and no hesitation. Bernard did not follow Morris to tbe street, nor make any attempt to foHow up his victim and continue the affair to the bitter end. In an unsteady condition Morris wended his way to the office of Dr. Huffman, where the wound was dressed.. He was found there soon afterward and' placed under arrest by Officer Cully. Bernard was taken Into custody ,too. Bernard told his story to the police i superintendent. Beads of perspiration stood out upon his fact, but he appeared cool and collected while relating his version of the affair. Calmly he told the superintendent he had dqne what any man would do. He unhesitatingly said: "Had I a gun, I would have shot him." "It will be eighteen years tomorrow that I fcavd been living with my wife and I nevet have suspected any wrong of her," Bernard continued. "When I saw this man arise, I threw the chisel and it happened to, hit him. It was the. only thing I had and it chanced my aim was good. That's all there is to the story." r Morris did not talk much of the episode. He said he went to the Bernard home to move furniture. .Morris told Superintendent Bailey he was unsteady and was permitted to go home. Bernard was placed behind the bars. AGAIN LABORERS .

Affairs of the Sporting World
The long expected has happened a riot followed the close of the CubsGiants game yesterday at New York, but it was checked before anything serious happened. Manager Chance of the Cubs, has protested the game, but President Pulliam has not yet ruled on it. How the mighty have fallen. Bos ton Just made it three straight from Detroit and the lowly New Yorits took em for three out of four. Wow! Right at the present time Eddie Summers is the only consistent boxman the Tigers have. The entire in field and outfield seems to be groggy with too much work and Detroit will be lucky to finish in third place un less a decided brace is taken. Wonder if Savidge, the Reds new finger nail curve pitcher, is a manicur ist in the winter time? Tomorrow night they pull off the big wrestling bout at the Colisum. Ten stout men and true have been secured for the Terrible Turk to work on. He guarantees to dispose of the entire squad within an hour. WHO WILL WIN? NATIONAL LEAGUE.

HASKELL MAY BE National Committeemen Favorable to Ousting Democratic Treasurer. FOLLOWS HEARST CHARGES SAID HE NOT ONLY DECLINED TO PERMIT STANDARD PROSECUTION, BUT WAS CONNECTED WITH RAILROAD PROMOTIONS. New York, Sept. 24. It ha become known at the democratic national headquarters that several committeemen are preparing to use every influence to bring about the removal of Governor Charles N Haskell from the office of treasurer of the National committee. This is a result of the publication of charges that Mr. Haskell, as governor of Oklahoma, declined to permit the state to prosecute the Prairie Oil company, a subsidiary company of the Standard Oil company. Charges that Governor Haskell had been identified with several railroad promotions in this city, which are said to have been unfortunate in the matter of consummation, are said to have also tended to increase the feelings of the national committeemen that the time has come for Governor Haskell's resignation from the committee or his removal. National Chairman Mack is taking no action in the matter, nor will he state what the outcome might be with reference to the Haskell matter. His attitude is known to be such as to oppose the continuance on the committee of any man whose affiliations are proved to be with corporations which are opposed by Mr. Bryan.

LITTLE SYMPATHY FOR MRS. KEEN Court Officials Say She Knew Husband of Negro Blood. WANTS MARRIAGE ANNULED SHE MARRIED MAN AGAINST ALL ADVICE OFFERED AND AFTER SHE HAD BEEN REFUSED LICENSE HERE. Little sympathy. Is expressed by circuit court officials for the predicament in which Ethel F. Keen now finds herself. In fact there is none at all as the sixteen-year-old young woman who finds herself married to man of colored extraction, refused to hearken to all advice that was offered. Even after being denied a marriage license In this county, she persisted in her determination. Her father appeared as Ignorant of suspicion as the daughter and she married Asa L. Keen. Her maiden name was Ethel Creager. Now she has entered suit in the Wayne cir cuit court to have the marriage annulled. ' She charges her husband is on octoroon, and that she married him believing in his statement be was of French-Canadian-Indian blood. When Keen applied to County Clerk Penny for a license, he was refused. The clerk had been warned in advance that a man of negro blood would apply for a license to marry a white girl. This angered Keen and also his prospective bride. Keen told his troubles to Jonathan Creager, the girl's father. The two remonstrated with the clerk and even went to his home to talk the matter over. The clerk said he had reason to doubt their statements and would not alter his decision unless an order was obtained from the court. But such an order was not obtained. Finding their intentions foiled Keen took the girl and went to Newport, Ky. But the authorities there had been warned and a license was refused. Thereupon the couple went to Covington, Ky., secured the license and were married. The young wife believed In her husband's story - o his race until he was arrested f sault and battery upon a negro -.i a few weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Keen were on South Sixth street, when they were followed by the child and Mrs. Keen says the former called her "nigger." Keen slapped the child and his arrest followed. It was Mrs. Keen who was called "nigger" by members of the
