the girl is completely Frustrated. She
has watched daily hoping for the re-
turn of her daughter alive and the sad
ending has completely broken her
down.
Wilcox apparently maintains the
same Indifferent air that has charac-
terized his actions all the way through
the case.
The report of the corners jury was
made late tonight and is as follows:
1--WE, the coroner's jury, having been
duly summoned and sworn by DR.. l.
Fearing to inquire what caused the
death of Ella M. Cropsey do hereby re-
port that from investigation made by
three physicians of Elizabeth City and
from their opinion and also from our
own personal observations, that said
Ella Cropsey came to her death by
being stricken a blow on the left
temple and by being drowned in Pas
quotank river. We have not yet in
vestigated nor heard any testimony
touching as to who inflicted the blow
and did the drowning. We are inform
ed that one James Wilcox is charged
with the same and is nov in custody.
We recommend that investigation as
to his or anyone elses probable guilt
be had by one or more magistrates in
Elizabeth City township and that said
Wilcox be held to await said investiga'
tion."
Elizabeth City, Dec. 28.-The pres
ence of a squad of naval militia with
loaded carbines is all that prevents
an attack upon the Jail in which is
contained James Wilcox, accused Of
the murder of Nellie Cropsey. Threats
of lynching were freely made today
and the feeling against the young
man continues bitter, during the da-
armed guards have kept all pedes
TRANS a block away from the jail
Solicitor Ward, the prosecuting of
ficer of the county, requested Captain
w. T. Old, commanding the militia
to redouble his vigilance tonight ii
expectation of an attempt to take tn,
prisoner.
The saloons were all closed on. or
der of the mayor.
Solicitor Ward today had a war
'rant made out charging Wilcox will
murder. A preliminary hearing will
be held on Wednesday when Wilco.
will be held for the grand jury whcl
meets in March.
Wilcox is apparently the most IN
concerned man in town. He sits il
his cell making cigaretts and talkin'
with his guards. He says he has n
fear of lynching.

FACING STARVATION.
Terrible Situation in Zapata County, Texas
Range Water Has Failed.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 27.-Re-
ports from Zapata county confirm the
reports that the poorer class there
are facing starvation. They must
have immediate help in the way of
food or the results will be terrible.
Range water has failed, and cattle-are
too weak to travel and are rapidly
dying. The country is literally
burned up by drought. There is not
a green thing to be seen except cactus
plants. Zapata county is so miles
from the nearest railroad, and what
ever in the way of food is sent to the
farmers in the famine stricken place
must be hauled from Laredo, a two
days trip at best.
Mayor Hicks, of this city, has
started relief fund, and has already
sent a small sum of money to Laredo
to be used in buying food for the suf-
erers. Relief work will be continued
here. Nothing has been heard from
the War department in answer to a
request for rations sent by Congress
man Kleburg.

TO PREVENT SMUGGLING.
Chinese Bound for Other Countries Will MOI
Be Allowed to Land.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The de.
termination of the treasury depart.
ment to take advantage of the author.
ity given by the Chinese exclusion act
to regulate the transit through the
United States of Chinese emigrants
bound for other countries was today
officially brought TO the attention OF
the Chinese legation. The occasion
presented itself when an attache OF
the legation called upon Assistant
Secretary Taylor to lay before him
message received from the Chinese
consul at San Francisco, conveying
the information that Chinese destined
for Mexico had been refused the privi-
lege of landing at that port.
Mr.. Taylor told the attache that
the department had become con-
vinced that most of the Chinese who
had gone into Mexico in the past two
or three years had smuggled them
selves back across the border into the
United States. He therefore an
nounced that hereafter the depart
ment would refuse landing permission
to Chinese bound for Mexico unless
it could be absolutely satisfied of their
good faith.

TO MEET WAR EXPENSES,
Columbia Gives Notice That 1t Will Make
Forced Loans.


Colon, Aug. 26.-An official decree,
dated Bogota, July Is, and addressed
to the governors of the departments,
was published today. 1t says:
ga new aspect of war, which seems
to kindle anew with the help of for
eigners who threaten the frontier,
places the government under the ne
cessity of assuming different atti-
tude from that maintained hitherto,
and forces it to proceedings which it
has previously tried to avoid.
1T has been resolved: First, to
suspend the payment of all accounts
for war material pending, and to
limit the expenses to the payment
of the armed force and the admins
tration; secondly, to proceed to ex-
propriate all the necessary elements
for the feeding, equipment and mo-
bilizing of the army; thirdly, to levy
forced and voluntary loans, accord
ing to circumstances, and to impose
war contributions in order to meet
the expenses of each department
without depending upon the national
capital.
1.-The governors are hereby amply
authorized to proceed in these matters
according to the requirements of the
case, and each governor must assume
the responsibility in order to save the
situation within his territory"
