Governor Rogers Of Washington Not Al
together in Harmony With It.
State Can Grant No Land or Money,
but Railroads Can-Chance
for Workers.

SEATTLE, Wash, September 2S.-In IN
interview at Olympia with Post-Intelli-
gencer correspondent, Gov. Rogers gives
his views to the proposed Debs COLOMBIA
ton plan for this state. Gov. Rogers says:
Il know nothing whatever Of the dcmoc-
racy's colonization beyond what 1 have
seen outlined in the newspapers and a let
ter have received from Cyrus Field Will
lard, notifying me that committee would
soon visit this state. l am not altogether
in harmony with the ideas of the social
democracy in their colonization scheme.
There is neither money or land which
can be donated by the state to the pro-
posed colony, except Of course, as any
man has the privilege of using his home
stead rights. However, l have actual
knowledge that some of the railroads have
offered the projectors of the colony money
and assistance to induce them to settle in
Washington; also that special inducements
have been held out to the colonists by
eastern Washington land syndicares.
Should the pioneers sent out by the colony
be men willing to v ork hard and Of prac-
teal ideas, the scheme will be productive
of good to the state in developing Its re-
sources and adding to it's farms and COM
mercial enterprises

various allotments, the location, condition

siderable anxiety prevails here as to the
fate Of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer E. Black of

The couple were recently married in
Pennsylvania, and We're on their bridal
tour to California. They stopped briefly
in Denver, Littleton and at LoveIand,
where they visited Mrs Blacks sister, Miss

BLACKS ASSAlLANT.
Thought TO BE James MarkIey, Who
Has Disappeared.

Altoona, July 3o.-There is little room
to doubt that the man who committed
the murderous assault upon Huckster
Black, between here and Holidays
burg, yesterday, was James Markley,
lately discharged from the Altoona fire
department. Markley, who was taken
out of the county poor house when a
child by Stock Dealer Andrew Biddle
and reared by him. is twenty-six years
of age. He completely answers the
descriptions given by Black as the man
who shot him. He left his boarding
house In this city yesterday morning,
saying he was going to the country,
and was afterwards seen in the neigh
borhood of the place where the assault
was committed.
The sheriff's posse is still securing
the woods in search of Markley. Huck-
ster Black was taken to his home in
Fredericksburg, Bedford countv, this
evening. He will get well.
