FOUL PLAY EVIDENT
 IN NEWELL CASE
Testimony of Several Witnesses
 Shows He Was Robbed
THEY BRU TALLY MURDERED
The Perpetrators of the Deed Then Placed the Body on an Out going Train to Conceal
 Evidences of the Crime

Bessemer. July 8.-(special )-The coro- ners jury in the case of H. c. Newell met this morning at 10 o'clock and were in session most of the day. It will be re- called that Newel's body was found on the morning of the second of July on the track of the Louisville and Nashville road at Reeder's.
 The grewsome discovery was made by section hands and it was at first sup posed that the unfortunate man had been run over by a train. The investigation of the coroner. however, showed that Newell had been robbed in this city on the night preceding by two companions, George Bullard and A I. Sumner, and the two men were arrested. Further de- velopments seem to show that Newell was murdered in this city and that his body was placed on Louisville and Nashville train, and the evidence seems to connect the two men under arrest with the crime.

PLEASED WITH
TAFT'S NEWS
PHILIPPINE SITUATION IMPROv-
ING DAILY.
GREAT WORK FOR ONE MAN
TAFT MAY BE CIVIL GOVERNOR
WHEN ONE IS ORDERED
BY CONGRESS.

New York, Feb. IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
The president is very greatly pleased
with the recent news from the Philip
pines. He had been very confident that
the work done by Commissioner Taft
would tell as soon as it became known
that he was man determined to admin
lister affairs justly and generously for
the Filipnos. and he did not, therefore,
pay much attention to the rather gloomy
and discouraging reports made by Gen.
Macarthur who had been quoted as re-
ferring to the situation as chrOnically
had.
The report that the president intends
to make Judge Taft civil governor of
the Philippines in case congress shall
pass resolution giving him authority to
regulate affairs there, entirely in his dis
clet1on until congress can make spe-
cific laws for the islands, is probably
the expression of a wish entertained by
the president when Judge Taft went to
Manila. The qualification of the wish
depends first, upon the action of con-
gress, and next upon the consent Of
Commissioner Taft. When Mr. Taft ac-
cepted the appointment to the commits
sion, he declared that he could not think
of going to the Philippines for longer
period than Is months. His plan was
to accomplish as much as was possible in
year and half and return to practice
law in Ohio.
Some assurances have been given to
the president, it is understood, that Mr..
Taft, having become deeply interested
IN the task he has accepted. will re-
consider his desire to return home and
consent to stay long enough to make
good his own suggestion that the diff
culties presented in the Phil;--cs were
so great that no man could fail to win
credit for overcoming them. and that
l. would not be worth while to go there
merely to deal with easy and common
place problems.

The matter of bridges came up first
this forenoon and the two boards could
not agree. The Powell men contended
that all bridges went with the public
highways, and that there was nothing
about them to apportion . The Deer
Lodge county board took issue with
them. and declared that the bridges We're
county property just as much as the
court house or any other public build
inss. Nearly all the important bridges
are located in what is now Powell coun-
tA. and the taxpayers of the present
county of Deer Lodge, the commissioners
contend. have paid heavy taxes to build
them without getting any benefits from
them. 1t is claimed that these bridges
have an estimated value Of $500, 900 The
matter was finally passed over until

Including the Jail ther. and grounds,
