Sensational Developments Occur In . Court
In Toledo.
There were some sensational devel-
opments Tuesday in the case in which
the State Pure Food Commissioner Of
Ohio, Blackburn, recently secured q
verdict of guilty against w. A. White,
grocer, charged with selling glazed
coffee manufactured by the Arbuckles.
The attorneys for the Arbuckles went
before Judge Meek, in the city court,
before whom the case was tried, and
requested him to make the docket
entry so as to get the case into the
higher court. Judge Meek declined to
do SO until Walter Brown. the attorney
for the state, was present. A heated
discussion ensued, in which the attor-
neys for the Arbuckles charged that
Walter Brown, attorney for the state,
ruled the Judge.
Then the latter sprang a sensation
by charging that the attorneys for the
Arbuckles had sent three men to him,
offering $1,000 to let them have the
jury. When he refused to do that they
sent emissaries with the offer of d, 600
to take the case from the jury. The
judge says he will, II necessary, make
public the names of the men who made
him the proposition.

INNOCENT MEN LYNcHEp
BY MISSOURI MOE.
Three Negroes Put to Death for Murder.
Ing white Girl, and All Are Believed
to be Innocent.

At Pierce City, NO., Monday night,
an infuriated mob of 1000 men hanged
William Cooley and shot French God
Icy and Pete Hampton. The latter was
cremated in his cabin after being shot.
The men were accused of having mur-
dered Miss Gazelle Wild, while she was
returning from church at Pierce City to
her home mile from town. Her
throat had been cut by razor, but shs
had not been violated. Shortly before
her body was found negro was seen
in that neighborhood
After the lynching the negro settle
ment was destroyed and the negroes
driven into the woods Bloodhounds
were taken to the scene and the girls
bloody handkerchief was laid before
them. They Immediately caught the
trail and ran with full speed to the
home of Joe Lark, where, on being
admitted. they rushed into the bedroom
and sprang upon the bed.
Lark, who is porter on the Frisco
road, was arrested. He declares his
innocence and says the man who com
mitted the crime boarded with him and
had fled. He gave detailed statement
as to his whereabouts Sunday, and he
is believed to be not guilty.
Eugene Barrett, a negro, confessed
that man named Flavors, who had
been boarding with Lark, was the real
culprit. Flavors is said to be under
arrest at Tulsa, |. T., over tho territory
line from Pierce City. and will surely

Citizens say that negroes will not be
permitted to live in Pierce City in the
future, and that the few negroes not

LOOP MADE BY BROOKLYN.
Man at Wheel Explains Happening In
Battle of Santiago.

Walter b. Adams of Gloucester
Mass. a seaman who claims to have
been stationed at the wheel of the
Brooklyn in the battle of Santiago, Is
quoted as giving new explanation OF
the loop made by Admiral Schley's
flagship, according to special from
Bellows Falls, VT.
Adams says that when the Viscaya
was pointing her course, with the
evident intention of ramming the
Srooklyln, Commander Hodgkins, the
navigating officer, issued the order to
put the wheel hard down. This would
have thrown the Brooklyn directly
toward the Viscaya. Adams says he
understood the order, but involunta tarily
threw the helm hard up causing the
Brooklyn" to swing away from the
Spanish ship.
Noticing his mistake instantly he
eased the wheel down and In getting
the ship back to her course the loop
was formed, which Mr.. Adams says,
was not over half mile in length.

SMUGGLING CHINESE.
United States Customs OniciaIs Charged

| With Admitting Chinese For Money.
| Probably the most important arrests
ever made in connection with .he
smuggling of Chinese across the Mexi-
can border into the United States were
made Saturday in Arizona, when Will
liam A. Hoey, collector of customs at
Nogales; b. f. Jossey, an immigrant
inspector; Frank How, Chinaman
living at Nogales, and another China
man living at Clifton, Mexico, Just
across the border from Nogales. were
taken into custody by special agents
of the treasury and secret service on
eratives. Other arrests are expected
to follow within day or two. 1t is
stated that with two or three excep-
tions the whole customs and immigra-
tion administrations at Nogales are
involved.
Some time ago an official OF the
treasury department, having Nogales
as his headquarters, wrote to the de-
partment that he had reason to believe
that the official force at that point was
corrupt, and that Chinese in large
numbers were being smuggled across
the border for a consideration A
secret service operative was sent there
at once and plans laid to secure evil
dence against the persons under sus-
pici
Several Cinnamon were furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being from $50 to
$500. The secret service men also
arranged with one or two employees
whose honesty had been tested to 90
into the collectors office at q GER
tain time and demand a share of the
money being received from the China
men and to be admitted into the com.
bination, so that they might get their
share of the proceeds of future deals.
This was reluctantly agreed to, and
considerable sums of money were
handed over in the presence and full
hearing of secret service man, who
had previously secreted himself in q
nearby Office.

France Sewers Diplomatic Relations with
Turkey.

The French AMBASSADOR, M. Constans,
has notified the Sultan's first secretary
that all diplomatic relations between
France and Turkey are broken off, and
that the ambassador has informed his
government to this effect.
M. Constans communicated direct
with the Sultan, because the latest
negotiations were tran ,acted with the
Sultan personally.
The ambassador justifies his action
on the ground that the Sultan broke
his direct, personal promise, given to
M. Coustaus at an audience in the Yil-
diz palace, Thursday, regarding the
purchase of the quays and the settle
ment of the disputed French claims.
The foreign minister also gave for
NAL assurances that the agreement
would be carried out, so, in view of
this breach of faith, NJ. Constans holds
that it is impossible for France to con-
tinue diplomatic relations with Turkey.
