SLAYERS, FATHER AND SON
lncensed at Summons for Trivial 0ffense,
They Shoot Policeman.
OFFICER RUSHING TO THE SCENE KILLED
A Third Policeman, Attempting to Arrest
Them, Is Mortally Wounded-Crowd
Surrounded Their House An
Ex-Oficer the Last Victim.

Columbus, Ga, Oct. 14.-About 2:30
o'clock this afternoon ]. A. White, a shoe
maker, and Henry White. his son, foully
murdered two policeman on Thirteenth
street, this city, and fatally wounded an
other on Sixteenth street shortly after
wards. There was no cause for the COM
mission of the crime other than the fact
that both men had been summoned to ap-
some trivial offense.
Richard Adams was the officer who
summoned the two men to court and i'm
mediately after he presented them with
the supeonas both men armed themselves
and returned to Rumsey's bar. on Thir-
teenth street, near where Adams was
standing. The elder White deliberately
leveled the Winchester with which he
was armed and shot Adams just above
the heart, killing him almost instantly.
Officer William Jackson, who was pa
trolling the adjoining beat, heard the
shot and ran to the scene. He was met
by both the Whites, who began firing on
him as he turned the corner from First
avenue. He was shot four times but
lived until Z o'clock tonight.
After the commission of the second
murder the two men walked leisurely up
First avenue to their home on Sixteenth
street, where Officer Charles Roberts
went to arrest them. In answer to his
knock upon the door, Roberts received a
bullet from Whites Winchester through
the stomach. He staggered to the street,
mortally wounded, and at this hour,
though alive, no hope is entertained for
his recovery. te
By the time the third policeman had
fallen crowd of over 500 armed men mad
reached the scene, and the murderers'
house was surrounded. Tom Jackson,
marshal of Girard, and Zeno Pickett an
ex-poiceman of this city, volunteered to
run the Whites out of their hiding place.
-Four other brave men offered to follow
them, and the crowd charged on the
house, firing hundreds of bullets into the
windows and DOORS When the fuslade
ceased Jackson and Pickett forced open
the door, whereupon White began firing
upon them. The two men rushed in upon
him, and, after shooting him half dozen
times, dragged him into the streets. I'M
mediately after delivering Whites body
to the crowd Pickett fell to the sidewalk
from the effects of what is believed to be
a mortal wound. He was taken to a near
by house, where he is still quartered, and
though in a critical condition, there Is
faint hope for his recovery.
The younger White escaped from the
house and crossed the river near by into
Alabama, where he was captured tonight
at 1920 o'clock by Officers Osborne and
Threllkeld of this city. He was brought
to this city and placed in jail 1t is be-
lieved he will be lynched, though the
town is quiet at midnight.

ATowN LOOTED.
A. Gang of Eight Masked Men Pillaged
Peryear, Tenn.-Got $4,000 in Cash.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 14.-A gang of
masked men looted the little town of Per-
year, in Henry county, early this morn
ing. The citizens were awakened at
O'Clock by the sound Of an explosion and
the firing of guns and revolvers. The
residents who were daring enough to
leave their houses were warned to return
under pain of death. In order to intimi-
date the people the gang kept up an in
cessant discharge of their firearms.
There were eight men in the party, and
all were heavily masked. After robbing
a number of stores, the gang set fire to a
number of buildings and then fled to the
country. After the fires had been SUBJ
dued a posse was formed and started in
pursuit of the marauders. The exact
amount of money and valuables secured
by the gang is not known, but it is esti-
mated that they got away with at least
$4,000 in money. ~

IT'S ALL STUFF.
Story That the Bancroft Will Try to Force
the Dardanelles.

story That the bancroIt Will Try 10 4 orco
the Dardanelles.
Washington, Oct. 4-The little dis
patch boat Bancroft of the United States
navy, now about due at Smyrna, has not
been ordered to force passage through
the Dardanelles, with or without foreign
aid. This can be stated on the direct au-
thorty of the president of the United
States. There Is no doubt that the Ban
croft is going straight to Constantinople,
Just as fast as her steam can carry her,
or just as soon as Minister Terrell makes
a request upon Admiral Selfridge for her
services as a guard boat or dispatch boat
in the same capacity as similar light
draught and light armored dispatch boats
are placed at the service of other friendly
nations.
But that any forcible passage of the
Dardanelles is in contemplation by the
United States, with or without European
support can be set down as simply an at
tempt to exaggerate the news originally
given in these dispatches.

What congressmen Say.

1t so happens that America is filed
with workers. There are idle people
but they are fewer here than any
where, except now when we are living
under the shadow of the Wilson bill
II those workers are all getting good
wages they are themselves the market,
and If the wages are increasing the
market is also increasing. The
fact that in this country the
workers have been getting better
wages than elsewhere is the very rea-
son why our market is the best in the
world and why all the nations of the
world are trying to break into it. We
do not appreciate the nature of our
market ourselyes.-Hon. Thos. Is.
Reed
1t Is no longer question of money;
it is a question of work. 1t is no
longer a question of the free coinage
of the American muscle. When every
mans muscle in the United States
can be coined into u days wages, every
working dya in the year, the question
of money is settled and at rest for
ever, and prosperity comes back on
floodtide of its power. 1t is not IA
question of opening our mints to the
product of the silver mines Of the
world; 1t is question OF opening our
factories of the world; 1t Is ques-
tion Of opening our factories to the
working men of the United States Of
America.-HOn. j. NJ. ThurstOn.
United States senator of Nebraska.
The system of ad valorem rates is
one not only pregnant with tempta-
tation, but full of opportunities to the
improper and foreign seller. 1t opens
the door to perjury and invites all
manner of fraudulent devices. IL
makes 1t possible for the importer,
through fraudulent ard doctored in
voices TO evape the law and thus
strike down whatever OF protection to
home industry and home labor, II any
is guaranteed by the law, and at the
same time defraud the government Of
the revenue properly due it under the
law.-Hon. j. II. Mitchell, United

Free Wool Facts.

The imports of raw wool in the first
full year OF free-trade were 81 per cent
more than the average of the imports
Of the Mckinley period. 1t can easily
be seen what large percentage of the
American crop, which Is 294, ,000, 900
pounds, this increase in imports of
raw wool I'm one year OF over 122, 1000
600 pounds Is. The American wool
grower is deprived of the home mar
ket for just that much of his wool
that he formerly possessed.
This Is not the worst OF IL. The
excess In the imports OF woolen text
lies, for the first full year of the Cor
man Tariff law over the previous year,
represents the employment Of Ameri-
can mills in making $40, 100000 worth
Of goods, which has been lost.
These imported goods, IL made In
America, would haved absorbed more
than half OF the American clip, worth
over s20, 900, 900, and would also have
given employment TO one class OF
operatives whose wages would have
reached the amount OF $4,000, 900.
1t can easily be imagined what the
loss of 100000 means TO single
class of American Labor. The de-
crease in purchasing power of this
$40, 100000 reaches, directly or in
directly, almost every body in busi-
ness. This Is a state OF affairs the
like of which was never known before
in the memory of any active business
man.
But still worse, even, has been the
increase in the imports of shoddy and
rags, which were practically prohib-
tied by the Mckinley law. In the
first full year of the new law we
imported oyer 20,OOO,OOO pounds
more shoddy than In any preYi-
Gus single year, an increase of over s.
200 per cent. These 10000, 600 pounds
OF shOddy displaced 10000, 900 pounds
OF wool In the condition in which IL is
sold by the farmer. This benefits no.
body but Injuries many.
Here are three degrees Of loss TO
American industries that are simply
uncomfortable, and those who are suffer
Ing cannot wait long for relief. which
can only come by the restoration OF a
Protective Tariff.
