Card From Judge Brown.

To the voters of the First Judicia
Circuit of Tennessee: When | discoy-
cred the fact that a number of the del
egates to the Judicial Convention at
Jon ,sboro, had determined to violate
the instructions of the people of their
counties, and others were going to
sNilfully and knowingly disregard the
wish and will of the people, and that
combinations were formed, having for
their object the defeat of the will of the
people, l declined to submit my claims
to the convention as thus constituted,
and was therefor not before said con-
vention, nor bound by its action but
had intended to quietly let matters
take their course, but ever since, the
demand of the people all over the cir
cult haye been SO urgent and persistent
on me to become candidate for reelec-
ton, and the demands have come from
such large and respectable sources and
of such a nature as to fully convince
me that majority of the Republicans,
and very large majority of the peo.
pie generally desire my reelection.
feel it to be my duty to yield to
their manifest wish, and therefor de-
clare myself candidate for reelection
to the position of Circuit Judge, and
appeal to the people to give me their
support in this, perhaps the last chance
of my life and l promise them that if
elected l will try to make them an hon
est, sober, moral and upright Judge;
constantly having in view the faithful
and impartial enforcement of the law,
and, las l have in the past, the reduc-
ing of the expenses of the Court, 80
as to reduce the taxes of the people,
knowing no man or set of men in the
discharge of my sworn duties.
Very truly yours,

Relatives along the route, who heard
of my approach, met me at the stations
but none suggested stop over night,
or for the next train, but, after affec-

join jeff Davis, for Dixie and for South

AT every station men, women and
children assembled, clapping hands
and waving handkerchiefs to cheer the
passengers on to Richmond. On cross

to eliminate. The windows and doors
of every farm house and hamlet were
occupied and gave cheering salutations
and hied us on to Richmond y The
spirit electrified the atmosphere, and
the laborers of the fields, white and

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite is an indication
of something wrong. The loss of a ra-
tional desire for food is soon followed
by lack of strength, for when the sup.
ply of fuel is cut off the fire burns low.
The system gets into low state. and is
liable to severe attacks of disease. The
universal testimony given by those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to its
great merits in restoring and sharpen
ing the appetite, in promoting healthy
action of the digestive organs, and as
purifier of the blood, constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine. Those who
have never used Hoods Sarsaparilla
should surely do so this season.

PORTLAND. Or, June 26.-In the Chi
nese conspiracy case to-day Nat Blum. the
Governments principal witness, continued
his testimony. He was asked the amount
he had paid ex-Collector Of Customs
James lotan for his part of the work. He
estimated it at about $4,000.
He saio that when the business stopped
he owed Lotan $4,000. being for about
eighty-four Chinese at $50 per head. He
told of the meetings held in his place at
Fourth and Washington streets by con-
spirators. attorneys and others, and Of the
efforts made to prevent indictments being
returned by the Federal Grand Jury last
summer.
He was also asked to state ex-Special
Agent Mulkey's connection with the con-
spiracy. The defense objected on the
ground that Mulkey was not on trial, but
the court ruled that it was admissible for
the purpose of establishing the conspiracy.
Blum retold the story of his negotiations
with Mulkey. which resulted in the latter S
being bought off for $1,000 per mouth.
Among the documentary evidence intro
duced was certificate of deposit fer $500
drawn in favor of j. Quinlan by the Aims

business with Mulkey. This certificate he
claimed 10 have sent to Mulkey with a
letter. 1t was not introduced in the pre-
vious trials. and the Offering of it in evil
dence was made another occasion for ar
gumeDt on its admissibility.
The connection of Seid Back with the
conspiracy was then entered into. Blum
said he had a conversation with Seid In
Dunbar's office, and that he agreed to as
sist the cOnspirators in consideration of
their not interfering with his Cinnamon.
Seid was TO pay $50 per head for the
Cinnamon landed on his account, and was
to act as interpreter for Blum, Dunbar ct
al. on their ships, and was to sign false
aff1davts in Chinese when they were
needed.
At one time Blum, Cardinell, who was
a deputy collector OF customs, and Seid
Back met in Seid Backs office. Cardinel
said there was a meek" at the custom
house about the certificates on which a
number Of Chinese had been landed and
that they would have to get some affidavits
TO bolster up" the certificates. Sed Back
furnished blank affidavits, which Blum
signed. and Sig Baer's seal was attached,
after which they were delivered to Car
dinell.
A book containing a list of Chinese
firms was introduced by the Government,
which Blum said was furnished him by
Seid Back, and that Seid Back had told
MIN the names in the book were friends Of
his who would be willing to have their
names used in Chinese certificates. Blum
then identified several letters from China

the Savannah. Florida and Western Rail-
road from Townsville, due to arrive at Z
O'Clock this evening. was held up this side
of Homerville at / 80 A NJ. by six masked
men. The safe in the eXpress-car was
robbed of its contents, 1922 in cash.
Two of the men boarded the train at
Somerville, concealing themselves behind
the tender. As soon as the train started
they climbed over the tender covered the
engineer and fireman with pistols and told
Engineer jenkins to stop where ordered.
About mile from Homerville the order
was given and the train came to a stand
still. Then four other masked men Joined
the party and while two kept the engineer
covered they proceeded to the express-car.
Conductor Farris came out with train
hand to investigate the cause for stopping,
but Obeyed the order to return to his car.
While two of the men kept watch, the
other two ordered Messenger Calder to
open the door. He refused. and was told
he had better get out of the car. He heard
one of the men lighting fuse, and before
he could reach the corner dynamite cart
ridge exploded, breaking the door from its
fastenings. and completely stunning the
messenger. When he came 10 he was
looking into the barrel of pistol, and was
ordered to throw up his hands. He did
not hesitate long, and when told TO open

carr gathered up the money and went to

and compelled both engineer and fireman
to leave it. Then they ran the engine up
to a point in the woods near Argyle, eleven
miles from the scene of the robbery,
where they left it and took to the woods.
Sheriff Hurst Of Thomas County and
pos Sc reached the scene about four hours
later, and with pack of hounds started
in pursuit Of the robbers. The officials be-
lieve that the posse has the right trail, and
that the robbers will be captured. The
robbers did not enter the mailcar nor any
of the passenger-coaches, their only ap-
parent object being to secure the money in
the express-car. The passengers were con-
sidersbly alar med for the time being, but
no one was hurt.

ALL FOR OWYANG.
Many Praise the Deposed

His Trial Before the ConsuI-GeneraI
and Presidents of the Chinese
Six Companies.

There was great gathering of Chinese
notables In the hall of the Consolidated d
Chinese Benevolent Association, better
known as the Six Companies, last night.
The Consul-General was there in his glist-
ening robes of Office, with attaches of the
consulate, the presidents of the Six Com
panies and every merchant of prominenc ce
in the Mongolian colony.
They were met 10 hear and try the
charges against the Vice-COnsul, King
Owyang, who recently received a very
urgent request for his resignation from
Yang Yu, the Minister who has charge OF
Chinese affairs on this continent Yang
Yu, in calling for the resignation, stated
that it was demanded because he had
positive proof tina. the Vice-ConsuI had
assisted in the landing of women for
immoral purposes and mad inleIfered to
prevent the prosecution OF HOrr Shee, the
one-eyed procuress, who was recently
tried and convicted Of perjury and is now
in San Quentin. The Minister added that
he spared King Owyang the disgrace of
dismissal on account of his dlstin guished
services to his country.
Owyang was amazed when he received
the letter and declared that some one had
stabbed him in the back. He could prove
that he had prevented the landing of
chattels and had In the case Of Horr Shee
materially assisted the United States Dis
trict Attorney. He sent a statement of
the facts TO the Minister and refused to
resign until given a chance to be heard in
his own behalf.
His communication and request were
ignored. Then his friends, knowing that
dismissal from Office in China is the black
est disgrace that can fall upon a son of the
empire, bestirred themselves in his behalf.
They and he asked the residents of the
Six Companies 10 investigate the charges
and report to the Minister. The Consul
General consented to sit as judge, and last
night The trial was commenced.
Interpreter Harry Hough testified that
he was present at the landing OF the Chinese
woman particularly referred TO by the
accusing Minister, and that King Owyang
protested against her admission to the
United States.
United States District ATTORNEY Garter
and Attorney l.. Elliott testified that tbev
were interested u the prosecution of Horr
Shee, and that the conviction would nave
been difficult If King Owyang had not as
sisted them. Several Chinese merchants

off. In other words, 1t will provide an
easy plan for tightening the great burden
and enabling the banks to make use of
their bullion reserves. 1t is felt by bank
ers that if the mission of Messrs. King ana
Williams succeeds it will lead 10 the issu-
ing of a big amount Of Government bonds.
There is here also a growing feeling in
banking circles in favor OF an issue which
will appeal to the public instead of to
bankers alone. There was cautious ex-
preston of opinion BY several bankers
that the gold assessment which they had
paid would be the last.
The banks reluctance to pay more gold,
It is stated, is due TO the desire 10 force the
Government to another bond issue aud
thus have chance for getting good interest
for their idle capital.
