He Says the Courts Ruling Makes
Every Federal Judge a Car.

1NNeN ~ tAhNs
Terre Haute, Ind. May 2s.-President
Debs of the Americap Railway Union,
speaking last night Of the decision Of the
United States supreme court in the con-
tempt cases. stated that from a synopsis
OF the decision which he had seen, he had
concluded that the court did not pass up
on the merits Of the case itself. II a cir
cult judge Is enabled to prosecute, try and
pass sentence IN cases of this kind, II con-
stitutes every federal Judge. a czar with
unlimited power TO inhict punishment on a
citizen without regard to trial by jury

He thought the decision was virtually an
order for non-resistance on the part Of
employees.

Arnold this afternoon and delivered him
self into the custody of the marshal. The

a BLACK MURDERER LYNcHED.
Dragged from jail by n Mob shriek-
ing for Mercy.

Baltimore, May 2s.-Jacob Henson. a
young colored man recently tried and con-
viceed in the Howard county court, and
sentenced to hang on June 7, was taken
from the EiIicotte city jail early this morn
ing and hanged 20 the limb OF dogwood
tree. The lynching was the work OF about
twenty determined men. who thus aveng-
Ell the murder of Daniel F. Shea. which
was one Of the most brutal crimes ever
committed in Howard county.
The lynehers feared that the government
of Maryland might be Induced TO interfere
and commute the dead mans sentence TO
life imprisonment. The grounds for this
apprehension came from recent repeated
visits TO the jail of specialists In mental dis
eases TO inquire into Henson's sanity and
the reported intention Of Gov. Brown him
self to go out there for the same purpose.
The belief had been growing that Hem
sons sentence might be commuted and he
be spirited away to the Baltimore peni-
tentiary The effect OF this belief was
found in a placard which was left pinned TO
the breast OF the lynched negro, on which
was written:
I'VE respect our court and judges. Gov.
Brown forced law abiding citizens TO carry
out the verdict Of the jury.
"whitecaps."
Shortly after midnight, when the city
was wrapped in slumber, masked men be-
gan to assemble by twos and threes, and
soon surrounded the jail. The jailer was
then aroused with the statement: I'VE
have come for Henson" Admittance was
refused, but the outer door was quickly
battered down with iron sledges.
The noise did not arouse the prisoner in
his cell. nor was n awakened until the
lock on his door gave way under the blows
Of the sledge hammer. AS the lynchers
rushed in he shrieked for mercy. 1t was
useless. A rope was thrown over the ne
gro's head. and more dead than alive
from fright he was dragged from the cell
He alternately prayed and cursed as he
was dragged down the Jail steps.
Warden Lilly was out of town. but his
family begged the lynchers not to hang the
culprit In the Jail yard. He was bound
and gagged, taken to Merricks lane, the
rope was thrown over the limb OF a dog
wood tree, there was final shrek, ending
in ghastly rattle. and the tragedy was
over.
Mr.. Shea was murdered for bis money
In his little Ellicott City store on the night
Of Tuesday, Feb. 10. Henson was in his
employ, and had been treated with great
kindness. He confessed, and his convic-
tion took place at the March term of court.
He confessed TO having struck his victim
with hatehet and then hacked the head
of Mr.. Shea as he lay in the corner. Twen.
ty-five distinct gashes were counted when
the murdered man was prepared for bu-

NEXT SECRETARY OF STATE.
MANY NAMES MENTIONED FOR THB
CABINETS VACANT CHAIR.

Secretary whitney "a Popular POssi>
biIity, hut His Acceptance Not Con-
sidered Probable, n He II Looked
Upon as "A Presidential Possibility.
Among Others Mentioned Are
Messrs. Eustis, Bayard, RansOm,
Butler, OIney and Dickinson ans
VhI.
Washington. May 2s.--Although the ben-
ediction has not yet been pronounced over
the remains Of the late Secretary Gresham
the self constituted cabinet makers are
busy specializing upon the appointment oE
the next Secretary OF State. Names are
being suggested from all quarters withouE
the slightest hope or expectation of thein
owners being called to occupy the vacant
seat at the cabinet table. But there ap,
pears TO be some personal qualification IN
having ones name mentioned In connecs
tion with such an important Office.
In the southern COLONY the names Of ANA
bassador Eustis. Minister Ransom and ext
Senator Butler OF South Carolina ara
mentioned. but It Is not considered proba<
BILE that either OF the two named have anH
aspirations In that direction. and senatoa
Butler can hardly be regarded as a possiA
bility.
The gossips are also transferring Attora
ney General Olney to the state department.
and stating Don NJ. Dickinson for the at3
torney generalship.
The name that meets most favor with
the rank and file Is that Of William G.,
Whitney OF New York. II Is generally
supposed here that he could obtain the va}
cant portfolio IL he would accept ~
but his personal friends, who are groom1
ing him for the presidential nominations
insist that he cannot AFFORD TO so into tho
cabinet az this late day, and under thd
existing circumstances.
In administration circles the name %
Ambassador Bayerd is frequently heard
and also the name OF Senator Gray oa
Delaware and Acting Secretary OF state
Uhl. In official circles the latter IL
clipped" as a sure winner, not only BED
cause OF his experience with our foreign
relations. but because OF the signal abii>
ity he has shown on several occasionss
when called upon TO act promptly In the
absence OF Secretary Gresham. The only
objection urged against him Is that he II
not enough of representative party
man for such an important position.

SOUND MONEY AND THE SOUTH.
An Appeal From the New York Cham

New York. May 2S.-A very important
appeal is sent south tonight to promi-
nent merchants and chambers OF COM
merce by the Sound Money committee Of
the New York chamber OF commerce. The
document in full. with the names of the
signers. embracing the very leading houses
In the city OF New York. is as follows'
Chamber OF Commerce OF the city OF
New York. founded A. D.. l76S--To the
Business Men Of the South: We. business
men of New York. who are from the
south or have business relations with the
south, and are concerned In the prosperi-
~ Of the southern states, appeal to the
people Of those states TO take such stand
on currency questions as shall silence the
accusations that have been made against
their intelligence and conservatism. We
appeal 10 you TO resist every effort TO pre-
cipitate a monetary revolution. as TO the
results OF which even its advocates cam
not agree. and against which the CONNER
cial classes, a. well as students OF the his
tory OF financial experiments, warn you as
bringing certain disaster.
A rise in the value of numerous prod
ucts, accompanied by an increased de-
mand for labor In manufacturing dis
tricts, and for money In financial centers,
foreshadows a gradual return TO a new
era of prosperity unless confidence should
again become impaired by agitation for
the free coinage of silver. The south has
every interest to adhere TO the money
standard of the world. II cannot expect
to be paid in IL for its cotton II the friends
Of silver succeeded in legalizing the pay
ments of debts In a depreciating metal
Your advantage lies in the exchange of
your products for money which, like gold,
has stable value.
We therefore urge you and your friends
10 use your influence In opposition 10 the
dangerous doctrine Of free silver coinage.

The People Dissatisfied Because the
Jury Didn't Order a Hanging.
New Orleans, May &.-The case Of ]. ].
Davis, who a short time ago shot and
killed George Boya. on Canal street, has
occupied the time Of the criminal court
since Friday last. Davis and Boya were
officers Of the criminal court a few months
ago, Davis as court crier and Boya as
deputy sheriff. The jury list was stolen
just before the cases of the indicted coun-
cilmen came UP, and an investigation
showed that Davis and Boya were con-
cerned in the stealing of the jury list
Both were thereupon discharged from
their positions. elimination and recrim-
ination led to bad feelings between the
men, who had previously been good
friends. A few days after Davis and Boya
accidentally met on Canal street, and Da-
Wis drew a revolver and shot Boya in the
mouth, killing him instantly. Boya was
unarmed. The evidence adduced at the
trial showed that the killing was a cold
blooded murder without a mitigating cir
cumstance. The case went to the Jury last
night about midnight, but they did not
reach an agreement until 2 O'Clock to-day.
when they returned a verdict of guilty
without capital punishment. The verdict
is not satisfactory to the public, although
it sends Davis to the penitentiary for life.
