Shot Niagara Rapids Successfully in a
Barrel.

Buffalo, n. Y, July l4.-Car-
Isle ID. Graham this afternoon
made fifth successful journey
down the Niagara rapids in the
barrel he used in his last previous
trip, twelve years ago.
He was almost suffocated, being
confined in the barrel for thirty
five minutes.
Graham got in the barrel at 3: 80
II was barely large enough to hold
Graham, strapped in an upright
position, and the only air hole was
tiny one in the top.
The boatmen did not take the
barrel out far enough in the stream
aud it was twenty minutes before
the barrel finally sti c the rapids.
The barrel went dow the rapids
swiftly, and soon loated into the
whirlpool where swimmers, who
had been waiting for it, towed it
ashore and released Graham.

Cleveland Jews do not take much

nr. Theodore lIcrzl. the leader OF the
Zionist movement. has just reached
London from Constantinople. where he
had conference with the sultan. and.
according To the press reports. he was
much encouraged by the interview.
Dr. licrzl is sanguinc Of the success of
his propaganda. but the Jewish people
Of the United States are not so san
guiuo that the Zionists will succeed in
carrying ont their plans, nor do they
take much interest In the matter
"l don't take much stock In the dis
patches coming from Europe indicating
that the plans OF the zionlsts 10 pur-
chase Palestine are about 20 prove suc-
cessWl." said Dr NJ. Machol recently
60 reporter of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer u think that II Is possible that
the statements were given to the press
to stir up interest in the propaganda OF
the Zionsts As matter of fact the
Jews In America have never taken
great amount Of interest In the move
mcnt 10 purchase the Holy Land and
make n Jewish kingdom Of the country
aud have all the Jews 20 there. As far
As the American Jews are concerned
this country is good enough FOR them'
and they could not be induced to emil
CRATE to Palestine
as far as | know little has been
done In this country TO help the plans
Of the Zionists. Reports have been cir
culated 10 the effect that large
amount Of money has been raised. but
they have not been authenticated.
"a meeting was held In Philadelphia
some time ago In the interest OF the
Zionist movement. and the work IN
this country was placed In the hands
of Professor Richard Gottheil OF Co
lumbia university and stephen Wise
OF Portland. Or The most practical
result accomplished at the meeting was
the raising ot $500 for Roumanians
who come 10 this country. The two
members OF the committee are very
enthusiastic IN the matter. but do not
think they can accomplish much la
this country.
IAN orthodox Jews are In sympathy
with the movement Ms far ms It's chari-
table features are concerned. They are
in favor Of providing homes In Pales-
tine for the oppressed Jews Of various
lands. but they do not 20 ms far as TO
desire to purchase Palestine and make

Negro officer Guarding a White Man
Arouses the Ire of Citizens.

NTouSes tue IRE OF NittLens.
From persons here today from
Pauls Valley we learn the particu-
lars of the indignation meeting
held by the citizens Of that town
Saturday The causes that led up
to the excitement are about as
follows:
Robert McGee was held in the
Pauls Valley Jail for murder,
awaiting to be brougG, to Ardmore.
Chief Deputy a. NJ. Foss placed
the prisoner in the custody of Jack
Walters a negro deputy marshal
for transportation to Ardmore.
When the negro and prisoner
arrived at the depot Mr.. Brazell
a citizen of the town remarked in
the presence of the negro deputy
that he would hate to be arrested
and guarded by d d negro.
Walters then threw his Winches.
ter in Brazell's face aud told him
he would be arrested right now 10y
a negro, and required Brazell to
take a seat by McGee, the other
prisoner.
When Chief Deputy Foss heard
of the affair he had Walters release
Brazell
Walters then required every body
to vacate the depot aud stood with
gun in hand ready to resist any
assault.
Brazell swore out complaint
against Walters for disturbing the
peace and after considerable par
lance Walters submitted himself to
the city officers He was released
under 500 bond for bis appear
ance there today. 1t is alleged that
after Foss made bond for Walters
he instructed the negro TO proceed
to Ardmore and to shoot the first
man $ brains ont that interferred
with him.
This episode aroused the people
of Pauls Valley, an Indignation
meeting attended by 500 people
was held. Resolutions of censure
were passed. A committee oI
twenty-five citizens was appointed
by the Chairman, Mat Duffee, tc
meet this morning at 9 o'clock and
sign up the resolutions.
When Capt. Hammer was seen
this morning he said he understood
that he, or his deputy at Paul:
Valley, had been censured in d
mass meeting and that he would
go to Pauls Valley today. Capt
Hammer says his negro deputy is
clothed with the same authority
as other deputies and that no one
has a right to interfere with his
arrests.
