SIMPSONS Name Not to
Be Brought In.
BITTER OPPOSITION
OF Lemley and Hanna to Bring.
: ing SIMPSONS Name
Into the Court of
Inquiry.

News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Washington, Oct. 3.-In the Schley
inquiry it now seems probable that
SIMPSONS name will be kept out alto
gether. Schley's counsel will try once
more, however, to bring Sampson into
the controversy.
Lieutenant Doyle, of the Brooklyn,
in reply to questions said of Schley:
~ did not have opportunity to observe
his conduct during the battle, but did
see him before and after the battle. He
was as self-possessed as anyone could
be under those circumstances"
An effort was made here to show that
despite the fact that Schley reported
seeing smoke in Santiago harbor, indi-
eating ships coming out July 2, Samp-
son persisted in sailing to conference
with Shafter at Siboney.
The attempt to drag Sampson in was
bitterly opposed by Lemley and Han
ma.

Negroes Were Strung
Up In Texas.
A PLANTER WAS SHOT
Trouble Grew From Leasing OF
Land to Blacks Who Re-
fused to Harvest
Crops.

Dallas, Tex, Oct 2.-The details
were beginning to reach Dallas. OF
lace war in Harrison county, starting
rear Hallville, and spreading in all
directions, in which five negSoes have
been lynched since last Saturday
The trouble Is said to have started
because negroes who had rented cot
ton lands from rich planters refused
to harvest theii, crops, or permit the
planters to get their shares of the
yield.
A posse of white men went to the
kome of negro, Thomas Walker, on
the plantation of Julian Atwood.
Walker fred on the white men, kill
ing Atwood. During the early part Of
the chase that followed, one negro
was caught and hanged Two more
were hanged on Sunday in the timber
near the Gregg county line. George
Muckleroy was taken out at night
Eear Marshall and whipped to death.
Taking it for granted that Thomas
Walker has been lynched, the number
of negroes killed is five, and Julian
Atwood, the white man, makes the
sixth victim of the tragedy.
All that has happened has taken
place in a district not covered by
telegraph or telephone, and such de-
tails as have come to hand are from
responsible parties at Longview and
Marshall. The people of the couu-
ties Of Harrison and Gregg, both
whites and blacks, are reported to be
in frenzy of excitement, and more
!ynchings are likely to occur.
The whites declare that the black
renters have not only refused to
gather their crops on shares, but have
Ewindled them out of money loaned
during the season, with which to pur-
chase supplies.

VILLAGE TERRORIZED.
Whitecaps Of Highlan dtown
Will Force Some Of the Resi-
dents to Move Away.

East Liverpool, o., Oct. 3.-The acts
Of "whitecaps" at, Highlandtown, q
little village six" miles west of here,
have resulted in reign of terror. The
last act Of the "whitecaps" was the poi
soning Of the apples on certain trees
in the orchard of John II. Mcpherson.
The Oldest son, Sumner Mcpherson,
ate some Of the applies and for a
time his life was dispaired of. Analysis
shows that all the apples within easy
reach on certain trees are poisoned.
The family now subjects all food pro-
ducts to close inspection.
The Mcpherson and Cloger families
have been most annoyed, and white
cap" notices have been left, warning
them to leave the premises. Sumner
Mcpherson, while watching for the
"whitecaps," was fired at four times,
one bullet passing through his hat.
Notices are dropped in the yard or
fields and nailed to the fences and
doors.
The "whitecap" manifestations have
lasted for over two years, but have been
more malignant for the past two
months. Crops, fences, tools, wagons
and other~property are destroyed by
night and several families, after vainly
Offering rewards, purpose leaving the
neighborhood. One theory Is that the
object is to force a cheap sale OF prop
erty.

have been incidentally discussed at
the dinner. 1t was not the intention,
and was not understood by the execu.
tive committee to be the intention,
to have any outsiders at that dinner.
Army and navy officers who were stop
ping at other houses, however, began
to arrive about o'clock and there
was suspicious number of others
who were not of the presidential party
nor could be considered as such by the
closest calculation.
Secretary Wilson and daughter, Sec
retary Smith and wife and Secretary
Root were at the door of the Harter
mansion when Secretary Gage came
over from the residence of Mr.. John
G. Welty.
Secretaries Wilson, Smith and Root
were earnestly discussing the situation
when Mr.. Gage arrived. They had no
ticed that there were extensive prep
arations for large company of peo-
pie. Secretary Gage said he had come
over with the understanding that the
cabinet was to take dinner with the
president.
What does this great expanse of
tables mean?" said Secretary Wilson.
I'VE cannot take part in a public din
ner 1t is out of the question"
Walters from Cleveland, sent by q
prominent caterer, were prepared to
wait on a multitude of people, and
tables were set about everywhere for
the accommodation of guests.
I'VE cannot dine with President
Roosevelt this evening"" said one of
the cabinet members, "for the presi-
dent has already dined. He dined at
6 o'clock"
1t was agreed that the cabinet mem
bers should go away and they did so,
Secretary Wilson taking his daughter
with him and Secretary Smith taking
his wife. They went back to Mrs.
Isaac Harter's where they were stop
ping, and had dinner there.
Mr.. Gage turned about and was
starting back to Mr.. Welty's residence
when Secretary Root said he would
go to the president and inform him
of the situation and make such expla
nations as were necessary. Secretary
Gage then returned to Mr.. Welty's
house and dined there.
Thus was the state dinner feature
set aside. Whether somebody wanted
to do some exploiting in the occasion
is not known, but the invitation tc
Governor Nash has not been explained
SO satisfactorily as to SILENCE the wag
ging Of tongues when high society ir

man Catholic Union of the United

Grated at the Polish church the dele

by Peter Kielbassa, Of Chicago. In
his speech Mr.. Kielbassa said:

Police Are Unsuccess-
full In Catching
W0ULD-BE MURDERER
Popp Had Little Money and !
10 Believed That He IL
Not Very Far

considerable information in regard
to the movements of John Popp, the
man who attempted to murder Mrs.
Lucy Haas on Tuesday evening, has
been secured by the police. A man
who lives near the point where the
Wheeling and Lake Erie crosses Rob-
erts street, told Sergeant Riblet that
shortly after the shooting took place,
Popp came past his house and remark
ed as he was going by, "They must be
having a HI of time up at that
house." The man said that Popp con-
tinued on toward the Pennsylvania
tracks.
1T WAS KNOWN
that Popp was employed at the Nc
Dowell farm and had been for some
time past. The farm lies about four
and a half miles from the city on the
east side of the Carroll road. A large
swamp on the farm, back from the road
about half mile, is being drained
and Popp was employed as a laborer
on the ditch, which is being dug. A
rig was procured and Sergeant Riblet,
with Officers Patterson and thinner.
man, drove to the Mcdowell farm
about 2:30 Wednesday morning. They
remained there until $50 a. m., when
they returned to the city, having seen
nor heard
NOTHING OF THEIR MAN.
Early in the afternoon a telephone
message was received at headquarters
to the effect that Popp was at the
farm. Sergeant Weilandt, Marshal
Bour and Officers Reed, Roach and
Smith left shortly afterward in the
patrol wagon for the farm, arriving
there at 3:15. Popp had disappeared
however, and they were obliged &c Ie.
turn empty handed
On Saturday Popp drew all of the
wages he had coming to him and came
to the city. He went back to work on
Monday morning and had his trunk
moved out to the farm on that day
He quit work Tuesday noon and re
turned to the city. He did not return
to work on Wednesday morning but
was seen sitting under tree at the
farm during the day, so placed that he
could see down the road leading to
Canton. He was seen in the vicinity
of the house and it was thought that
he wished to
GET HIS CLOTHES
which were in his room.
The last seen of him was shortly
before 3 o'clock. His present where
abouts are not exactly known but il
is thought that he is not far from here
and that his capture Will be matter
of but a few days. 1t is known that
he had very little money on his per
son when he left.
The criminal tendency seems to be
characteristic of the Popp family
Popp has always borne the reputa
ton of being bad man. He has been
sent to the workhouse number oi
times for various offenses. His father
died at the city prison one night about
eight years ago while under arrest
for drunkenness and beating his wife
His death was the result of interna

Captain Charles D. Sigsbee, who

during the Spanish war, was called
He said that in obedience to orders
from Captain Wise, who was his COM
manding officer, he had proceeded to
the vicinity of Santiago, arriving
there on the 21st His instructions
were to report to Commodore Schley
that the Spanish squadron probably
was in Santiago harbor. He fell in
with the flying squadron on the even
ing of May 26, the squadron then be-
ing 20 or 25 miles south of Santiago.
He had reported to Commodore
| Schley that he knew nothing posi-
| lively" about the Spanish fleet.
He was then asked If he had ex-
PRESSED his belief to Commodore
Schley that Cervera's fleet was not
in the harbor, as reported later by
Commodore Schley. A controversy
arose over the admissibility of the
question, and the court took a recess
tor luncheon before receiving the re-
ply Of the witness.
Captain Sigsbee was excused and
Chief Yeoman Gustave e. Becker,
who served as a clerk to Admiral
Sampson on board the flagship New
York during the Spanish war, was
called. He identified the memoran.
dunn from Captain McCalla, saying
there was a good landing place near
Cienfuegos, which Admiral Sampson
sent to Commodore Schley under date
Of May 10, and said that this memo
randum had been carried in duplicate
by the Iowa and the Dupont. Mr..
hayner questioned the witness very
closely, bringing out the fact that
Becker had no records to show that
either OF these vessels had carried
the memorandum and that he was de-
pendent upon his memory in making
the statement.
Were There Four Copies?
Mr.. Hanna said in this connection
that the department expected to be
able to show that four copies OF this
memorandum had been forwarded to
Commodore Schley. Mr. Rayner re-
Gponded that he would admit only one
copy and that was the copy delivered
by the Hawk on May 23, 1898.
