ocean liner, the "Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse" The building contains about
5000 tons of steel and IL, 200 tons Of
OF other material, chiefly brick and
terra Gotta, making a total weight for
the building of 90, 900 tons. The "Kai
ser Wilhelm" displaces 20, 600 tons Of
water, and, therefore, equals the tow
ering ''ekVscraper" in weight. The ex-
treme length of the liner is 649 feet,
measured on deck, so that she exceeds
the greatest dimensions of the
building by 148 feet. The total cost of
the building was 50 400, 900, and that of
the ship probably a million or even
a million and a half more, the greater
cost of the ship being due chiefly to
the greater power and weight OF ma
chinery, of which about q, 900 horse
power is in the ship as against 1 900
horse power in the building. Brick
and terra Gotta, moreover, are cheaper
materials than ship frames and plat
ing.

American and Continental Companies
Practically Own Each Other.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 18.-Pierre
Lorillard is here in the interest Of the
Continental Tobacco Company, of
which he is treasurer, to inspect the
recent acquisition of the trust. When
asked about the value Of trust stock in
general and tobacco in particular, Mr..
Lorillard said the earning capacity of
manufacturing establishments is much
more important than the values Of
stocks which rise and fall on the mar
ket. Mr.. L0rillard said the stock Of
the American Tobacco Company is
SOON to be increased from $35, 900, 900 to
$50 900, OCO. When this is accepted,
he said, there will no longer be a big
tobacco trust and a little tobacco trust,
for both will be big ones. There will
be no clash between these trusts, how
ever, for each owns large blocks OF
stock of the other.

wH1rRCAPs SHOOT NEGROES.
Six Killed and Three Fatally Wounded
While Begging for Mercy.


While Begging for Mercy.
PALMETTO, GA, March 16.-Six
negroes were killed and three others
fatally shot by a party of masked
whitecaps here about 1 o'clock this
morning. While the townsfolks were
sleeping quietly a mob Of fully 200
masked II en- entered the town, rode up
to the building where the negroes were
imprisoned and called on the guards
with threats and curses to turn over
nine negroes held there for trial charged
with arson.
The guards were overpoWered with
out difficulty, and with a rush the
whitecaps made for the prisoners, who
we're awakened by the noise on the
outside. The nine were shot down
while calling for mercy. Six were
killed outright and others will die
The greatest excitement prevails IN the
town. Armed citizens are patrolling
the streets, fearing an outbreak on the
part of negroes of the county, who
are threatening to avenge the blood OF
their race. The nine negroes were
held for the burning of the town which
took place last January.
The trouble arose originally e the
enforcement of the prohibition law
Almost every male negro in the town
carried a bottle of whiskey and a glass
and sold drinks to whoever wanted
them. This led to arrests, when they
threatened to burn the town. Later
fires began to occur with alarming reg
ularitV. with the result Of nine ar
rests and finally the tragedy of this
morning.
Armed militiamen paraded the
streets this evening to guard the whites
from an expected assault from intu
rated negroes who were expected to
come in from the country to avenge
the death of their comrades, shot by
whitecaps this morning, Up to a:late
hour, however an attack had not been
made.
None of the masked mob mas g
identified. Only two of the wounded
negroes will recover.
ATLANTA, March 16 GOV. Candle
