MURDER ON A TRAIN
Express Messenger Killed by
Bandits Near Columbus.
His Body RddIed by Bullets and the Local Safe
Robbed. Authorities in Search of
the Robbers,
(By the Associated Press.)

Columbus, Ohio, August IA daring
murder and robbery was committed on
the Pennsylvania passenger train No. g.,
which arrived here from St. Louis at II 40
last night. Charles Lane, an Adams Elk
press messenger, formerly of st. Louis,
but recently of Columbus, was shot and
killed shortly before the train reached
the union station in this city, and the
LEGAL safe was robbed of all the money
and valuables which it contained. The
safe robbed contained only the packages
of money and valuables collected after
the train left st. Louis, and the officials
of the Express Company insist that the
sum was not large. All the money for
warded from St. Louis and points west
was in a sealed safe, which was not dis
turbed by the robbers, probably for the
reason that they did not have time.
The crime was not discovered until the
train pulled into the union station here.
Lanes body was found to have been rid
died with bullets and there were evil
dences that a struggle had taken place.
The robbers had taken the key to the
local safe from the messengers pocket
opened the safe and looted it of every
thing OF probable value. The key was
left in the safe door. The messengers
revolver with two chambers empty was
found in the safe, where it had probably
been laid by the robbers after being
wrenched from his hand.
The entire local detective force, the
detectives from both the east and the
west, all the railroad and the express
officials as we'll as the police depart
ments within fifty miles, are using their
utmost endeavcrs to capture the men, Of
whom there are supposed to have been
TWO.
The only bit of light thrown on the af-
fair is by John Fletcher. baggagemaster

in the rear of the one in which the
murder occurred. AS a result Of his mar
rative the police are looking fer four
persons Of whom they have slight descrip-
tions. None of these has been located.

ARMOR PLATE BIDS REJECTED.
This Does Not Mean the Government Will
Build an Armor Plate Plant.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, August 1.-THE Navy De-
partment this afternoon decided to reject
all bids for armor plate presented to The
department yesterday. 1t is stated at
the Department that this does not mean
that the alternative plan of erccing a
Government armOr plate factory will be
adopted, although the Secretary Of the
Navy has at his disposal $4,000, 600 with
which to start such plant in case salts
factory terms, cannot be made with the
private manufacturers. 1t is stated to-
day that new advertisements will be is
sued as speedily as possible and the
contractors will be given another chance
to put their bids into such shape as Will
be acceptable to the Government.
The reason assigned for the rejection
Of bids is the demand from all the bid
ders for too large a proportion of the
entire amount of armor plate. The low
est bidder, the Midvale Steel Company
was not satisfied to accept less than 10000
tons of the $4,000 tons to be contracted
for At the rate Of delivery proposed by
the Midvale Company, the Government
could not have gotten it's armOr to COM
plete the ships now in course of construc-
tiOn within a reasonable time. The other
two bidders, the Bethlehem and Carnegie
Companies were much higher in their
figures and insisted on having the whole
amount of armOr divided between them
on equal terms
The action Of the Government in
promptly rejecting the bids is taken to
indicate a determination to bring the con-
tractors to reasonable terms. On the
other hand it is said by some officials
in the department that the Government
probably will be willing to make con-
siderable concessions before adopting the
serious alternative of establishing a plant
of it's own.

NEGRO SHOOTS HIS WIFE.
Woman Not Expected to Live. Bad Whiskey
Led to the Crime.
(special to News and Ohserver.l

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., August 11.-Alex Jor-
dan, negro, dangerously shot his wife
last night at his home in a disreputable
quarter in this city, known as "Duplin."
Jordan was drunk and quarreiled with
his wife. The ball went through the wo-
mans head, going in near the nose and
coming out in the rear. The woman is
not expected to live.
Mr.. p. E. Causey, of this city, former
ly doing grocery business on East Mar
ket, in this city was arrested at Mount
Airy at the request of the Greensboro
police on the charge of burning his store
to get the insurance. The evidence is all
circumstantial, but it seems that on the
night of the fire, which occurred several
weeks ago, all the tenants living up stairs
were mysterously absent, and when the
fire was discovered kerosene oil could
plainly be scented. In addition to this
the store was insured for about twice the
inventoried stock. The arrest was made
at the request of Insurance Commission
er, Mr. Jas. R. Young. Mr.. Causey is
we'll known and has many friends who
are greatly shocked at the charge.
An old landmark disappeared from
North Elm street tonight by order of the
city aldermen who ordered the old county
jail burned and at o'clock the building
was set on fire and is still burning. A new
and up-to-date Jail has been built and the
prisoners Voc transferred this after
noon. The old Jail is probably thirty or
forty years old.

COTTON MILLS MAY SHUT DOWN.
A Charlotte Policeman Who Seems to Have
Disappeared.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Charlotte, n. c., August H. If concur
rent action can be reached it is likely
that many cotton mills of this entire
section will soon close down for several
weeks or possibly until the moving of
the fall cotton crop. The committee of
three appointed by the Southern Cotton
Spinners Association are now visiting the
cotton mills, and while discussing the
selling agency plan they are also agitat-
ing the closing down scheme and ascer-
tanning whether or not the cotton mills
will agree thereto
Officer Bradley Of the Charlotte police
force will come back to find his position
on the force provided for unless he can
give adequate excuse for his action.
Bradley left some time ago on his regu-
lar vacation, but was taken sick and de-
cided to prolong his absence without Civ
ing notice at headquarters. The chief of
police has not been able to obtain Brad
ley's address, and thus the matter is in
statu quo until Bradley shall make his
temperance.

With Touching and Thrill
ling Enthusiasm.
ling Enthusiasm.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Rome, August liking Victor En-
manuel III took the formal constitutional
oath today before Parliament. The Ser
ate chamber was draped with mourning,
the benches and tribunes being covered
with black furnishings, ordered with sill
yer.
The booming of cannon announced the
departure of the royal party from tie
Quiriral. All along the route large crowds
were assembled and gave the new king
an ovation. He was received on the STEPS
of the Senate by the committees of the
Chamber of Deputies and Senate, in pa
vilion specially erected and handsomely
decorated When the cortege entered the
Senate chamber, the King being accom-
panied by the Duke Of AOsta, the Count
Of Turin and the Duke OF Genoa, the
Deputies and Senators arose, and then
began a long and exciting scene OF en-
thusiasm. His Majesty later took the
oath and delivered an address.
The King in his address, referred to the
evidences of mourning here and abroad
and spoke of the friendship uniting Italy
with all foreign powers. He SAID Italy
will be a forceful instrument of concord
and will assist in maintaining peace, and
asked for internal accord, as the monar-
ehy and parliament should proceed uni
ted. The King, the address said, knows
his rights and duties and feels that he
will always have the full confidence of
the liberal institutions of Italy and be
able by his initiative and energy TO Wig
Majesty invoked God to witness his prom
ises and assured his hearers that he
would work with all his heart for the
grandeur and prosperity OF Italy.
During the ceremony of taking the
oath the King stood, as those did who
assisted in the function, including the
Queens and the Princesses. He PRO
nounced the words in loud voice, say
ing:
I'm the presence of God and before the
nation swear to Loyalty respect the
statutes. to exercise the royal authority
only in pursuance Of the laws and in con-
formity with them to render each sub
ject, according to his rights, full ana
entire justice, and to conduct myself I'M
der all circumstances as having only IN
view the interest, prosperity and honor
of the nation"
AS soon as His Majesty had concluded
all present broke, out into loud acclama-
tions, the ovation lasting several min
utes while cries of viva il Re, re-
sounded throughout the hall The King
next signed the parchments containing
the OATH and the Senator'S rose in body
and took the oath, crying together, 10
giuro," CI swear'O.
The Deputies were sworn in the same
manner. The whole ceremony, conclud-
ing with the oaths of allegiance of the
Senators and Deputies, was touching and
imposing.
The King then read his address, and
with the same ceremony with which they
were received, the royal party returned
to the Quirinal through the still crowd
ed streets, the people vigorously shout
ing for and cheering the new king.

''M'WADE"
1t is believed that the date ASSIGNED
this dispatch by the Consul refers 10
the file date when the message legb
Tsi Nan, and does not fix the time when
it left Pekin.
In the opinion of the State Denart
ment, the value of the Conger message
is considerably reduced by the uncer-
tainty as to its date. The date of August
10th at Tsi Nan certainly indicates that
the dispatch of the message from Pekin
could not have been less than three or
four days earlier. Tsi Nan is a large
town on the main Shanghai road about
225 miles South of Pekn. 1t certainly
would have had to travel by courier all
the way to Shanghai and have been re-
transmitted from that point to have
reached McWade at Canton The infor-

Thirty Fall Beneath its Strokes
in New York,
The Greatest Sufferers The Children. Three
Fell to Death From Fire Escapes Where
They Sought Air.

New York, August 11.-Death reaped
harvest today from New York's human
ity At least persons died in this city
and vicinity, 80 of them from prostra-
lions and three children from falling from
fire escapes on which they had crowded
to get some relief from the torturing
heat.
All in all it is the hottest continuous
weather New York has had. Forecaster
Emery said today that it surpassed in
the aggregate the record of the 1896 hot
spell.
The Weather Bureau thermometer
reached 95 at 2 p. M, and registered
the same figures an hour later This is
many degrees cooler than the tempera-
ture the people were subjected to on
the streets. Thousands hurried to the
nearest cars and boats for the seashore.
Then there were many who began their
vacations and the trains and steamboats,
were filled rapidly. The sound steamers
had sold out all their berths early in the
day and tonight many passengers were
forced to sleep on mattresses streWed in
the cabins.
The streets leading to a cooling exile
from New York were Arowded and ex-
pressmen were overwhelmed with bag
gage. 1t was the busiest Saturday of the
season.
The recreation piers were packed but
they gave little relief The keeper of an
East River pier said that the thermomo
ter there had registered 102 Zig the
day and that at 7:30 this evening it was
%. Not rustic of a breeze could be de-
tected
The greatest sufferers were little ones
and the reports from the Bellevue dis
poor.
The outdoor poor department was
overtaXed also, there being 25 applicants
day from mothers TO have their chill
dren taken to RanGall's Island.
The suffering among animals was
plainly evident. Many horses fell, some
to die, others to stagger to their feet
and go weakly on. Fire Chief Crokers
orders that hose should be on tap in
front of all fire engine houses saved many
horses from sunstroke.
SIX DEATHS AT CHICAGO.
Chicago August 11.-Six deaths here
were due to the heat today, the eighth
day of the torrid spell and there were
% prostrations, three of which will prove
fatal.
A small shower in the afternoon sent
the mercury down to so for short time
but it rose again to 80 and was sent down
again to so by pitiful little thunderstorm
at p. m. The second time it remained
at so. but the weather man says it will
pass 80 again tomorrow.
