She Left Him For Cruelty and

Her Throat.
JEALODSLY THE CAUSE

and heard nothing further from him
until last night when Douglas put an
eternal end to every emotion of in-
constancy which his wife might have
entertained.
He Says She Quit Him For An
other Man and Because
ot This He Killed
Her.
ARRESTED AT THE SCENE
The green-eyed monster Jealousy
has numbered another soul among its
long list, of victims. For the third
time within two weeks a human life
has been offered up on the altar of
this insatiable demon. This time it
was Pearl Douglas, colored, whose
throat was cut from ear to ear and
horribly gashed and mutilated ty her
irate husband, Pete Douglas. He made
one slash at her with a razor just as
she was boarding a street ear on El
Paso street with the purpose of going
to the residence of T. ,1. Woodside,
1014 North Florence street, by whom
she. has been employed as a cook for
a year or more. As soon as she was
attacked she turned and fled down
Fourth street with the blood gushing
out of the jugular vein, which had
been severed, in great spurts, scream-
ing at every step and railing for help.
In the middle of the str°ct where
Fourth intersects Oregon the relentless
pursuer, fatally bent upon taking the
life of his bride of three months, over-
took her and again attacked her, in-
flicting in ail seven deep gashes in the
throat and hack part of the neck.
Officer Gaal and Carbajal were near
at nand and heard the screams of the
dying woman and rushed to iho scene
at once and arrested the murderer as
he stood calmly gloating over the
fallen form of his erstwhile spouse,
and still holding in his hand the keen-
edged razor reeking with the life blood
of the woman he had sworn to love,
honor and protect. It is alleged that
he stated to bystanders that he hoped
he had killed her as she had been
unfaithful to him. Douglas was locked
up in the city jail, and later, on a
warrant sworn out before Judge Mar-
shall, transferred to the county jail.
If tlie statement of the deceased
woman made Saturday afternoon is to
taken as true, the murder last night
was the result ot a cold-blooded, pre-
meditated threat. Pearl DouglaB and
her husband were married about three
months ago and since that time have
resided at C1C 8onth Santa Fe street.
The dead woman bears a good reputa-
tion among the white people for whom
she has worked for several years past,
and Pete Douglas has the name of
being a polite, genteel negro. This is
the first time he has ever been charged
with an offense In El Paso. He seems
to have no particular occupation, but
Is somewhat of a musician and has
been lrequently engaged to play the
piano in local dance and amusement
halls. When arrested yesterday even-
ing he was dressed In a new suit of
clothes and his genera! appearance be-
spoke that of a prosperous man. ' He
Is a small man, complexion yellow, and
is not a negro who would impress one
as being a bad character. He took his
arrest very cooly, and If he felt any
remorse for his awful deed, did not
betray It In his expression or actions.
As stated above, it is alleged that
Douglas gave as a reason for killing
his wife that she had transferred her
affections to another person, but as
is true in most cases, there is another
side to the story, which if true, brands
him irrevocably as a fiend incarnate.
Saturday afternoon The Times re-
porter called at the office of Judge
Marshall on his regular rounds, and
found the deceased Pearl Douglas, in
conference with the judge. She stated
that she had come to file a complaint
against her husband and that she
wanted him put under a bond to keep
the peace. She said that one week
ago last Wednesday night Douglas
had returned home rather late and for
some reason, which she failed to make
clear, had attacked her while she was
asleep In bed and severely thrashed
her with a buggy whip. She said
that the next morning she told her
husband that she was going to quit
him and get a divorce, in response to
this, she alleged that Douglas said he
was going to kill her and she expressed
absolute confidence in his threat and
seemed to bo in great fear. She said
that the man was good for nothing,
would not work and had never con-
tributed a cent to her support Rince
they were married, about three months
ago After inquiring what the law was
applicable to the case, she concluded
to prefer a charge against him for as-
sault and was advised that the proper
person before whom to make the com-
plaint was the county attorney. She
left Judge Marshall’s office and a few
minutes later the reporter saw her iu
conference with Chief of Police Woot-
ton at the police station. The case
being one of which the police could
not take cognizance, she was so in-
formed. Whether or not she applied
to the county attorney could not be
ascertained last night, hut the fact
seems to exist that she made no for-
mal complaint against Douglas as no
warrant was Issued for his arrest prior
to the killing.
Officer Greet stated to The Times
reporter that Douglas came to him a
day or two ago and told him. that he
wag having domestic troubles, that hi*,
wife was deserting him for another
man and asked Qreet’s advice. Greet
advised him to keep out of trouble
IN TRIBUTE TO LABOR.
Governor Lanham Issues Labor Day
Proclamation.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 26.—The governor
today issued his Labor Day proclama-
tion, as follows:
“It is a duty, as well as a privilege,
to labor. It belongs to every Ameri-
can citizen that he should freely use
the work of his hands, and it is due
to him that he should receive suitable
recompense for his toil, it is a cruelty
to deprive any honest man of the right
to earn his daily bread and to provide
for those dependent upon him. and
that ‘The laborer is worthy of his
hire' is a postulate of divine authority.
"That there should be involuntary
drones In the great hive of industrial
humanity is contrary to the genius of
our institutions and Inconsistent with
the economy of our civilization. The
stimulus of superiority of production
and faithfulness of effort, whether of
brawn or brain, should never be with-
drawn from the ambition and encour-
agement of the worker. The avenues
to the highest attainment and the In-
ducements for the utmost perfection In
useful occupations should never be
closed. The dignity of human labor
in whatever honest field employed,
should never be underestimated, and
unnecessary restrictions upon the free-
dom of its operations should be reso-
lutely condemned. There Is, and should
be, no antagonism between labor and
law; their complete unison is indis-
pensable to the prosperity and happi-
ness of the people. Our laws, in trib-
ute to labor, have made the first Mon-
day In September a legal holiday. It
should be appropriately commemorated
and on that day the people should sus-
pend their accustomed work and as-
semble at such places as their conven-
ience and enjoyment may suggest, and
in keeping with their own pleasure en-
gage In due celebration and proper
recognition of this holiday,
"Accordingly, I, S. W T. Lanham.
governor of the state of Texas, do
hereby designate Monday, the 5th day
of September, A. D. 1904, as Labor
Day. and request the people, of the
state to appropriately observe same.

unto signed my name and caused the
seal of the state to bo hereon Impress-
ed, at the city of Austin, this Aug. 26.

GOVERNOR ATTENDED
Liao Yang, Aug. 26.— (Delayed )—
Numerous reliable reports which have
reached here through a dispatch car-
rier and other people are to the effect
that despite extreme Japanese meas-
ures of the past fortnight to perfect
a blockade of Port Arthur by means of
sinking all junks near that place, the
Russians outside of Port Arthur cott-
sidorably underestimated, as is also
a resisting power of tho fortress
which llkeiy hold out for two months
and possibly mill! January, even under
such strength of assault ns the Japa-
nese are using.
Contrary to belief here that tho Jap-
anese had taken the outer forts at
Port Arthur, it is now understood that,
the Russians up lo August 15 success-
fully defending a five-mile circumfer-
ence. and that although the old town
was receiving an average of twenty- jju>
five Japanese shells dally, restaurants*'
and clubs, pre’erply safeguarded, con-
tinued to open and there was order
throughout town. The Japanese occa-
sionally shell the new town and often
attempt to rush the outer trenches,
sometimes arriving within 100 yards
of thotn. when they are unable to hold
their own owing to tho mortality In

It is expected that Ihe result will
be communicated to the British and
American ambassadors by the end of
the week and that It will tend to the
removal of existing causes of friction.
St, Petersburg, Aug. 28.—The gen-
eral staff has received the following
message from Lieutenant General Sak
liaroff, dated August 27th,
Our advance guard and advanced
troops on the southern front yester-
day retired slowly toward the forti-
fied position of Ansbanshan
The rifle tire was general along the
whole front
The Japanese artillery cannonaded
our positions at different points.
Our guns poured heavy tire into the
columns of the Japanese as they ad-
vanced and Into their works and en-
trenchments and eventually compelled
them to move their vast camp from
Fatnalna to the village of Balssiaza.
At 6 o’clock In the evening there
was a lull In the firing.
The hottest fighting occurred on our
loft flank on the south front where our
losses amounted to two hundred.
During the night, our advance guards
retired to the principal position.
Five divisions of the enemy took
the offensive against onr south front.
Ottr troops repelled toward the
southeast all attacks of Ihe Japanese
directed against their front, while our
troops on the right Hank, taking the
offensive toward evening, drove the
Japanese hack to Tounslnpu.
Our losses on the southeast front
were about 400,
Our detachment on the east, yester-
day had a desperate fight against a
considerable force of the enemy.
On the right Hank, our infantry,
though unsupported by artillery and
though the Japanese were at alt points
superior numerically, firmly and cour-
ageously repulsed the attacks began
during the night iiy an engagement of
the advanced positions at Tscgow and
Anplng. This affair culminated In
sharp bayonet fighting and some of our
regimental officers received sword,
bayonet and revolver wounds
After desperate fighting on the ad-
vanced positions of Tsegow and An-
ping our troops retired on the malt)
position supported by artillery,
Tamboff regiment on the left flank
at Tsegow defended an advanced po-
sition from 1 o'clock In the morning
until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, re-
pelling all the enemy's attacks at the
point of the bayonet.
There were four counter attacks.
The commander of the regiment, Col-
onel Klembousky, was wounded.
The turning movement by the en-
gagement against the li ft flank of the
Tsegow position and enfilading fire of
their batteries on Khaouiou Heights
forced Tarnhoff regiment to retire and
the retreat was effected in good order.
Six guns were abandoned, but they
were broken and rendered useless.
The Japanese attacked like fanatics
and their losses must have been great.

was taken prisoner, escaped observa-
tion after his wound had been dressed,

resentatives of the state of Louisiana

As soon as the ceremonies were over
President Oreutt conducted the guests,
numbering some 500 persons, to the
steamboat Newport News, aboard
which tite party went to Old Point
Comfort, where they were entertained
at a banquet, in the dining room of the
Hotel Chamberlain.
The Louisiana and her sister ship.
Connecticut, which is to be
launched at Ihe New York navy yard
a few weeks hence, are counted upon
to be the most powerful fighting ma-
chines of the new American navy.
They will usher In one Important inno-
vation, inasmuch as their batteries
will contain 7-inch guns In place of
the fi-lnch rapid diners which have pre-
vailed since the vessels of the Kear-
sage-Kentncky typo were planned, it
Is doubtful whether any ship afloat
will mutch the Louisiana In armament.
Iii addition to four 12-Inch guns, in
fore and aft turrets, she will have
eight 8-Inch rifles, in the main bat-
tery these will he supplemented by
twelve 7 inch rifles, each throwing a
projectile weighing 165 pounds.
The 12-Inch guns carry a shell weigh-
ing 850 pounds al a velocity of 2.sot)
feet a second—a speed one-fourth
greater than Mint attained by the Cl-
inch guns on the ships of the Indiana
class. The 7-Inch shells have a burst-
ing charge of thirteen pounds of black
powder. The explosive shell may be
replaced by an armor piercing projec-
tile, which attains n velocity of 3,000
feet a second, driven by a charge of
101 pounds of smokeless powder.
Hitherto the secondary batteries of
the battleships have boon composed
mostly of 3-pounder and 0-pounder
rapid-fire guns. On t he Louisiana these
will bo superseded by twenty 3-inch
rapid-fire rifles, throwing a 14-pound
explosive shell. There also will be
twelve 3-pounder semi-automatic guns,
eight Lpoiinder automatic guns and
two 3-inch field guns and eight ma-
chine guns for the fighting tops.
Tho armor fnr the Louisiana will
cost about *1,500,000, While the great-
est of her steel protection will be con-
centrated at the water line amidships,
she also wltl he protected the full
length of her hull, and above the main
belt of armor plate there will be three
thinner belts of plates—the lower case-
mate, the upper casemate and the su-
perstructure armor.
Electricity will be employed to as
large an extent on board the Istulsi-
ana as on any ship in the navy. There
wil! be electric ammunition hoists and
conveyors, and it Is more than prob-
able that electrlcal devices for both
aiming and discharging the guns will
he installed. There also will be an
automatically controlled motor for the
purpose of keeping the big guns on a
horizontal line while firing In a heavy
sea.
The Louisiana has a length of 450
feet on the load water line, an extreme
breadth of 76 feet 10 inches anil a
total displacement of 16,000 tons She
will he fitted with twin-screw verti-
cal expansion engines of an indicated
horse-power of 16.500 and capable of
developing a speed of 18 knots or bet-
ter.
The mean draught of tho vessel will
be 24 feet 6 Inches and the coal supply
900 tons. Twenty-six feet nine inches
Is the maximum draught, and if a shot
should pierce the hull beneath the wa-
ter line, a layer of cornpith, placed be-
tween the outer and Inner shells, will
swell and effectually shop ihe leak.
The ship's complement will include 42
officers and 761 men.
The total cost of the Louisiana will
be iu the neighborhood Of *4.000,000.
The progress of her construction j*
being watched intently by naval offi-
cers, constructors and shipbuilders
generally owing to the competition be-
tween the private company that, is
building her and the New York navy
yard which is constructing the Con-
necticut The construction of these
two battleships, which are practically
identical and the keels of which were
laid at the same time, is intended, to
show whether the government can suc-
cessfully compete with private ship-
builders In constructing our warships.
The Newport News company has won
the race so far In regards to time and
naval exports seem to be of the opin-
ion that the private concern will also
succeed iu fuming out the battleship
at a lower cost than the government
navy yard.
