SCRAP OVER CARDS CAUSES DEATH. OF ONE LIBERTY MAN John Rader, Father, Fatally Wounded at Same Time Anderson Thomas Faces Charge of Shooting. LIBERTY, Ind., Aug. 3. Louia Rader, 29, Is dead and his father John Rader, 55, dangerously wounded following a Saturday night carousal here. , Anderson Thomas, of Cincinnati, is in jail charged vu-ttfc the shooting. The tragedy occurred near a shack in the Silver Creek bottoms, half a mile west of this city, occupied by Solomon Griffin, step-father of the alleged murderer. About 3:30 o'clock Sunday morning Sheriff Line was notified by telephone Of the shooting, and summoned County Coroner H. M. Kgalf, the two drove to the scene in the sheriff's auto. They found the two wounded men and brought them to their home in this place, where the younger man died at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon. A charge of No. 6 shot had entered his back on the right side of the spine. The older man had received a charge In the left shoulder, breast and face, one shot destroying the left eye. The Raders, with Anderson Thomas, his half-brother. Mat Griffin, and several other men, had been drinking beer and playing cards at the home of
Abe Daws, who lives in the same lo-'
cality, according to stories told the sheriff. Daws broke up the party about 12:30, after which he said the Raders, Thomas and Mat Griffin took a torch and the cards and retired to the grove where the shooting occurred. Thomas Gives Version. Thomas says that Mat Griffin and Louis Rader quarreled over the card game and came to blows, when the elder Rader and his son both attacked Griffin with knives. After warning them to desist, Thomas said he went Into Solomon Griffin's house, obtained a shot gun and shot both men. He made no effort to escape claiming he had a right to defend his half-brother's life, surrendering himself to the sheriff. The gun, now in possession of the sheriff, is a single barrel and both men could not possibly have been victims of one shot, While Griffin's coat and shirt show's number of cuts, their position and the fact that the coat lining was not cut through, neither was there a scratch on his body, go to discredit the story of the attack by the Raders, Sheriff Line believes. John and Lewis Rader came here from Kentucky some six months ago, and seemed to be hard working and industrious. Both were married but the younger man was not living with his wife. Solomon Griffin is also a native of Kentucky, and has lived here less than a year. Anderson Thomas claims to be a street car conductor in Cincinnati, coming here Thursday to visit his step father, Solomon Griffin.

WILSOH ASKS CALM AIID QUIET III FACE OF EUROPEAII CRISIS President Sees No Need for Excitement Here When Self-Possession Will Avert Suffering. , . WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. President Wilson spoke as follows concerning the war situation at his conference with newspaper men: "Gentlemen, before you question me I want to say this: I believe that It is really unnecessary, but I always want to tell you what is in my mind. "It is manifestly necessary in the present state of affairs on the other side that you should be extremely careful not to add to the excitement In any way. Europe is in a highly excited state of mind, but the excitement ought not to spread to this country. "So far as we are concerned there is no cause for excitement. There is great inconvenience for the time being in the money market and in our exchanges, and temporarily in handling our crops, but America is absolutely prepared to meet the financial situation and to straighten out every thing without material difficulties. The only thing that can possibly prevent it is unreasonable apprehension and excitement. Need Calm In United States. "If I might make a suggestion to you, gentlemen, I would urge you not
to give currency to any unvennea rumors or to anything that would tend to create or add to the excitement. I think you will all agree that we must all at the present moment act together as Americans in seeing that Ameri
ca does not suffer any unnecessary distress from what is going on in the world at large. "The situation in Europe Is perhaps the "greatest in its possibilities that has arisen in modern times, but it
need not affect the United States unfavorably in the long run. Not that the United States has anything to take advantage of, but her own position is sound and she owes it to mankind to remain in such a condition, such a state of mind that she can help the rest of mankind.
"I want to have the pride of stating that America, if nobody else, has her self-possession and stands ready with calmness of thought and stead ines of purpose to help the rest of the world. And we can do it and reap a great permanent glory out of doing It, providing we all co-operate to see that nobody loses his head."
