WANTED TO BURN HIM
NEGRO MENACED BY A MOB NEAR
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
One Policeman Killed and Another
Who Held q Crowd ut Bay.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-Humphrey Tay-
lor, a negro suspected of the Rcsenstein
murder at Slidell, Md. to-day shot and
killed Police Sergeant Fritz Passau,
wounded Policeman Cow and kept a posse
of half a dozen officers at bay from the loft
of a house for nearly two hours. Dozens of
shots were exchanged between the officers
and the fugitive, who only surrendered
when preparations were made to burn the
premises. Last Saturday morning Louis
Rosenstein and his wife. who kept a small
store at Slidell, were found insensible and
horribly wounded in their storeroom. Ro-
senstein soon died from his injuries and the
woman is believed to be near death. Sus-
picion fell upon a negro named Humphrey
Taylor, alias Brown. who had disappeared.
The police to-day located him in a house
entered Taylor opened fire from the trap
door, in which he had taken refuge. Ser
geant Passau received two bullets through
his chest and Cow was wounded i'm the
hand. Taylor retreated to a corner of the
loft. and the reserve of two precincts were
called out 10 surround the house.
Meantime word of the affair and the
shooting had attracted several thousand

preparations TO burn the place had been
begun. Surrounded by officers with drawn
revolvers he was hustled out of the house
to the patrol wagon. when the crowd surged
forward with shouts of Lynch him."
Burn him." and made a rush for the pris-
oner. A rope was secured and the mob
made a desperate effort TO place ii around
the wretch's neck. The GOODNESS of the Off
GERS. however, saved Taylor, though he was
rather badly disfigHred by blows from the
nearest of the crowd. All the way To the
station house the mob followed the wagon,
shouting for vengeance and fingered about
the building when he was safely in a cell.
The police believe Taylor is the man the
Maryland authorities are looking for. He
told several conflicting stories and part of
the money stolen from Rosenstein's was
recovered from him.
The feeling against the prisoner continues
very strong. and during the evening a large
crowd. estimated at over a thousand per-
sons. gathered at the station where the man
is confined. There were many threats ut
tered and suggestions made that the man
should be lynched. Finally the police de-
partner increased the force around the
station by the addition of about thirty Off
GERS and succeeded in restoring quiet.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May T.-wilson
Waddingham, who died suddenly in New
York yesterday, was one of the boldest
spectators in Kansas City during its boom
Of fourteen years ago. He was associated
with George F. Winter, OF this city, in sew
eral of the largest real-estate deals ever
made here. Together they bought the Good
rich tract of eighty acres. paying $4,000
in cash therefor; the Gates tract of forty
four acres for $4,000 cash, a part of Winter
Park and scores of smaller pieces of prop
erty. All were finally sold at enormous
profit. The claim that Mr.. W~addingham
was the largest individual land owner in
the United States is, according to Mr.. Win
ter, well founded. In New Mexico alone he
owned nearly 100000 acres of land. In this
list were the Pablo Montavo grant of 71S,000
acres: the Anton Chico grant of 10000
acres: the Antonio Ortez grant. of 10000
acres; the Pedro Armondries grant of 440.-
90 acres. On the Pablo ranch Mr.. Wadding-
ham had at the time of his death $3.50
head of cattle and on the Pedro ranch 5000
head. He was also interested in various
land grants in Colorado. bringing his land
possessions alone far up into the millions
of acres.

BRYAN TO NORWEGIANS.
Col. w. j. Discusses Our Adopted Citi-
zens I'm Pence and War.

CHICAGO. May H.-Norwegians of Chi
cago to-day celebrated the eighty-fifth an
niversary of the Norwegian declaration of
independence. A banquet was held at the
Auditorium tonight, representatives of all
the Norwegian societies of the city sharing
in the programme. Among the speakers
was Col. William Jennings Bryan, who took
for his subject: Our Adopted Citizens in
Peace and War"
Mr.. Bryan said in part: Our Nation, be-
cause of its material and governmental ad-
vantages, has drawn to its shores a multi
tude of ambitious. enterprising and indus
trious emigrants and these, coming from
all parts of Europe, have brought with
them the ideas and customs Of their re-
spective countries. Here in free America
the process of comparison and selection
goes on. So long as we believe in the m
impotence of truth we must believe that
out of this clash of ideas and customs will
come the survival of those ideas and Gus
toms which are proven to be the best. From
this we can reasonably expect the develop
ment of an American civilization which Will
be superior to any which has preceded it
a civilization which will encourage and pro-
tect the individual in his progress toward
physical, mental and moral perfection. Our
composite population can turn upon public
questions the light of universal history and
prOfting by the experiences of other ma
tons can avoid the pitfalls into which they
nave StumDled. AS the burnt cnllQ dreadS
the fire. so the f~oreign-born citizens, having
observed the insidious growth of ~aristoc-
racy in other lands and having felt the op-
pressive weight of militarism will he quick
TO note their approach in the United States.
In time of peace our naturalized citizens
have contributed to the Nations growth
and TO the Nations productive power and
in time Of war they have ever shown them
selves ready to defend the flag on land and
sea. OF all those who have left the land
of their birth TO cast in their lot with us
none have possessed a higher average of in
telligence, virtue, bravery and patriotism
than the descendants of the Norsemen. On
this day, made memorable by the achieve
meats of the Viking race, our thoughts fol-
low yours back to the land of the mid
night sun and from the heroic struggles
OF your forefathers and we, too, gather in
spiration for the work which lies before u.s.
