HIS GRAVE THROWN OPEN
MAN FOUND HANGING ON A MICHIGAN
ROAD TREE IDENTIFIED.
He WAS John Davis. of Hagerstown-
His Brother from Anderson
Views the Body.

The body of the man found hanging to
tree near the Michigan road, in Hamilton
county. last Sunday has at last been pos
itively identified. l. A. Davis, a barber or
Anderson saw the body yesterday and says
ii is that Of his brother John Davis. OF
Hagerstown. I. A. Davis and Attorney w.
B. Foley. of Anderson, were in Indianapolis
last night having driven here from the
little cemetery in Hamilton county, where
the body of the suicide is buried. They
visited the grave yesterday morning about
o'clock.
Mr. Davis received telephone message
from his mother at Hagerstown last week.
telling him that she believed the body of the
unidentified man was his brother and ask
ing him TO go to the graveyard and inves-
tigate. Mr.. Davis and Attorney Foley were
accompanied to the cemetery yesterday by
Deputy Coroner Hershey, of Carmel. They
first went TO the neighborhood where the
body of the suicide was found hanging and
there several people remarked the resem-
blance between Davis and the man they
had helped to cut down. Mr.. Davis, with
the assistance OF some men of the neighbour
hood, dug into the grave and removed the
top from the box in which the body lay.
The body was badly decomposed, but Mr..
Davis at once recognized the hands of the
dead man and also some of the clothing he
wore. 1t was decided not to move the body
ON account of its decomposed condition.
Mr.. Davis last saw his brother alive about
five weeks ago when ne visited his mother
at Hagerstown. His brother was there
then and they attended the county fair to-
gether. John Davis was about AZ years old.
He has three children, a girl and two boys,
living at Abingdon, Wayne county. j. A.
Davis thinks his brothers trouble was due
TO domestic unhappiness. Ten years ago
his wife to whom he was much devoted,
died at Abingdon, leaving three children in
his care. He remained single about five
years and was then married to a woman at
Dayton, o., who was the mother of three
children. They did not get along well to-
gether and separated about three years ago.
Mr.. Davis says that after his brothers sep
Grafton from his second wife, he drank
good deal and drifted about from place to
place. He was a stone mason and plasterer
and could make good wages. About three
years ago he went to Hagerstown to live
with his mother. i. A. Davis says that
week before last saloon keeper in Ander-
son told him that his brother had recently
been in his place and that he had given
Davis two drinks He said the man was
poorly dressed and appeared to be
respondent.

GAS NOT GIVING OUT.
An Anderson Attorney Says the Trou-
BILE Is with the Mains.

w. B. Foley, an Anderson attorney, was
in the city yesterday, and in conversation
he said it was his opinion that the talk of
natural gas giving out was "moonshine."
He said it had been noticed in Anderson
last winter that while the houses lad little
gas the factories had all they reeded. He
expressed the belief that the trouble wss
that the mains in the streets were not large
enough to carry the gas demanded ty the
stoves. The mains were laid when he city

he continued, and IL was noticeable that

Wants Extra Session.

There are many excellent reasons why
the President should call an extra seS-
sion of Congress late in October or early
in November. Whatever the advocates of
so-called imperialism may say, there is no
disposition among the American people to
leave the final determination of the rights
of outlying islanders to the executive
branch Of the government. If politics and
systems of control in our new dependencies
are to be formulated the work must be

ENORMOUS REDUCTION.
Employees of the Cambria Steel Com
pany Suffer Cut in Wages of
20 to so Per Cent.

Johnstown, Pa, Aug. 14.-What is
probably the record for a big reduction
of wages goes into effect in the struc-
Lural department of the Cambria Steel
company this morning. The reduction
ranges between 70 and so per cent. The
straighteners of the large beams viii
have their wages cut to about three
dollars, while the holdups will be paid
on a scale that will average them about
$3.50 per day. The workmen declare
that straighteners have been making an
average of Sis or SIG day, and that
the holdups averaged from six to seven
dollars for their work. They claim that
they were not overpaid, even at that
rate, for the beams are very heavy and
the work is so severe on the men that
they can endure it for only few years.
A general strike of the straighteners
and holdups is looked for.

TIE DREYFUS TRIAL.
Prisoners SUITE rings on Devils Island

charged with treason, was continued
Wednesday morning, Maj. Carriere, the
representative of the government, hav-
ing refused to agree to the adjourn
ment of the case until Monday, applied
for by NJ. Demange, counsel for the
prisoner, and Capt. Dreyfus, owing to
the murderous attack upon Maitre La
bori. leading counsel for the defense.
The feature of the days proceedings
was the story of the su1rerings of
Dreyfus on DEVILS island, his prison
off the coast of French Guiana. Drey-
fus wept in court when the clerk read
document recounting the details of
his incarceration.
Deep-drawn breaths of indignation
came from the hearers as the reading
proceeded. Dreyfus at first watched
the faces of the judges with his usual
composure; but gradually, as the story
proceeded and incidents of his awful
existence were brought up before him,
his eyes grew dim and tears glistened
in his eyes and slowly trickled down
his cheeks.

was seated in the front row of the wit

DEROULEDE ARRESTED.
Prominent Frenchman Cast Into
Prison for Conspiracy Against
the Government.

Paris, Aug. AN. Paul Deroulede,
founder of the League of Patriots and
a member of the chamber of deputies
for the Angouleme division of Cha
rente, was arrested at four o'clock Sat-
urday morning at his estate at Crois-
sey, near Paris. A number of members
of the Anti-Semite and Patriotic
leagues were also arrested.
NM. Deroulede, chief of the League
of Patriots, and Marcel-Habert, a men,
Der of the chamber of deputies, were
arrested on the evening of February
% last on the charge of melting SOL
diers to INSTRUMENTATION in connection
with the election of President Loubet.
On May 81 the prisoners, who had
been on trial before the assize court
i'll Paris, were acquitted, although dur
ing the proceedings NJ. Deroulede ad-
mitted he wished to lead brigade to
overthrow the parliamentary republic,
that his action was fully premeditated
and that he would not cease his at
tempts to overthrow parliamentarism.

lowed. His evidence was vitriolic
Giatribe aginst Dreyfus from begin
ming to end.
The court adjourned until Thursday
on the conclusion of Gen. Roget's mon
ologue. ..
The general impression left by
Wednesdays proceedings is unfavora bic
owing, to the absence of such cross-ex-
animation as NJ. Labori would have
given NM. Lebon and Guerin, and ow-
ing to the fact that Gen. Roget's argu-
nents received no reply. This, how
ever, it is hoped, will prove damaging
when NJ. Demange cross-questions him

not be said, up to the present, to have
shown to any great advantage.
