CROOK IS
ACCUSED
OF MURDER
Police Claim He Is the Mid
night Singer Who Killed
Adam RhOades.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, April i2.-Michae e
Crook has been arrested on suspicion ot
being the man who so nysteriously killed
Adam Rhoades at Parsons yesterday
morning
The District-Attorney. however. If
doubtful II the flimsy evidence is enough
TO even hold him.
Crook was arrested at midnight by De-
tective Jones after long search. and
although he knew he was suspected and
was very much frightened, he stoutly
denied that he was guilty. He says he
never knew Rhoades, and did not wish
him any harm
Al the hearing today Matt Cooper. who
was close 10 Rhoades when he was killed.
Identified Crook as the man who was
singing on the street and whom Rhoades
Cooper saw him quite plainly as they
passed, and says Crook followed them
about block and then disappeared down
side street. He saw no one after that
until a few moments after he had left
Rhoades, when a man sprang out OF the
darkness and struck Rhoades down. As
the assassin ran Cooper saw he was
about the size OF Crook.
The theory of the police liz that Crook,
hair drunk and ugly-tempered, resolved
10 get even with the man who had told
him TO sion singing: that he had fol-
lowed the two, sneaking along I'm the
shadow until they separated, and then
alta cked Rhoades.
Crook was also recognized by two per-
sons who saw him on the street near the
scene OF the murder q few minutes before
IL was committed. He was not seen af-
terward The prisoner says ne was go
ing home, and knew nothing OF the muir
der until the next day. After the hear
Ing Crook was sent TO Jail without pail.
A brother-in-law of Crook, who keeps

place short time before the murder,
and. after taking a drink. said: well.

LOTS BROUGHT LITTLE.
Apathetic bidding and Small Prices
stopped Ii.

The sale of dots on Thirty-eighth street
at auction, which Mr. John l.. Archer,
who conducted the sale, had continued
from last Tuesday, took place on the
ground yesterday afternoon. The auc-
tioneer and Mr.. e. CT. Black, the agent
for the company owning the lots, were
not satisfied with the results of the sale.
the average price per lot obtained being
only about 5000.
Because of the unsatisfactory prices,
the sale was discontinued after seventeen
of the lots had been sold, and the re-
mainder will be sold at private sale. The
auction plan did not come up to the ex-
pectation OF the owners.
Samuel Gerst bought three of the lots
for S1O2 each, Ed. l.. Byck two for $l00.50
each, and two for $lOS each; Harry Kar-
ger bought three for $100.50 each, and Dan
H. Dunkin one for $101 S. X. Platshek
bought eight lots, near Price street, for
$275 each; ID. j. Morrison two lots in the
same vicinity for $3.50 each; Samuel Gerst
two for S325 each; S. K. Platshek, two
others, for $3.50 each, and four others for
1854 each; T. F. Beytagh bought two for
$3.50 each.
As according to the auctioneer the sale
was defeating its own purpose, 1t was
discontinued at this point Mr.. Archer
said the object of the company was to
sell to homeseekers, who would improve
the lots they bought. When it was seen
that the sales were being made pricipal-
~ to spectators, 1t was decided to stop.

MAY USE THE NEW SYSTEM.
Weather Bureau May Adopt Wire
less TeIegraphy.

Mr.. H. B. Boyer, local forecast official
of the Weather Bureau, talked interest
ingly yesterday of the experiments with
wireless biography now being conducted
off the Virginia and North Carolina coasts
by Prof. Willis l.. Moore, chief of the
Weather Bureau.
Mr.. Boyer said that the instruments be-
ing used are of the Marconi type but
with many improvements, inventions of
men connected with the bureau. With
these instruments ii is hoped to be able
to transmit messages 500 miles.
The experiments are being made in the
neighborhood of Cape Hatteras, because
that being the most important of the
coast stations of the bureau service, II
the experiments prove satisfactory the
first instruments will be erected there
and, again, because the government tele-
graph line, used in the sending of me-
neurological reports, is erected upon poles
that are set in sand and are usually so
damaged by a storm of any intensity that
communication with the cape station is
interrupted for possibly days at time
The use of wireless telegraphy would en-
tirely obviate this difficulty
Another advantage that the use of this
system would give would be the posi-
only the ships of the navy but also the
big coast liners which could thus report
from many miles at sea, any unusual me-
neurological disturbance that they might
have observed, and which would thus give
valuable date to the bureau. To the ships
themselves it would be no less an adj
vantage for those equipped with the in
struments could be warned of possible
storms in their course, and thus be en-
abled to seek shelter should such an act
be deemed advisable.
One of the difficulties that now faces the
experimenters, Mr.. Boyer said, is the
difficulty of sending a message to any
one station without having it received
by all the instruments upon which tho
air waves, the medium of communication,
may impinge.
This difficulty 1t is hoped to overcome
by having the instruments so arranged
that they will respond to each wave of a
certain length. By this arrangement a
message will be received only by the in
strument, it is intended for, and other
Instruments. even though within the radi-
us of its influence, will not be affected.

dress rehearsal of the Sells & Gray
Show, which will open its season Satur-

bers of the show have arrived and are in

their seats in advance the management
has arranged to place tickets on sale at
Mr.. Sig Gardeners store, the sale to open
Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. The ex-

WILL ADDRESS CONVENTION.
Capt. ID. G. Purse Accepted Invita-
ton to Speak I'm Brunswick.


Capt. D. G.. Purse has accepted the in
vitation rendered him by the Brunswick
Board of Trade to deliver an address in
that city. before the Sugar Cane and
Cassava Convention, which will be held
next Tuesday.
The farmers and business men of South
Georgia have been invited to attend this
convention, notices of which have been
published from time to time in the Morn
ing News. Capt Purses address will
probably be on the subject of sugar cane
and its products, though it is not unlikely,
as Capt. Purse himself confesses, that
he will wander a bit from this topic to a
discussion of the increasing commercial
advantages and possibilities of the South.
The cultivation of cassava is a COM
paratively new industry in Georgia, but
wherever it has been introduced it has
given most satisfactory results 1t has
been demonstrated that it will grow we'll
in almost any soil and with but very
slight cultivation and fertilization.
From the root of the plant starch and
other products are manufactured while
the stalk makes a valuable food for
stock. The Brunswick Board of Trade
hopes that the convention will result in
the wider dissemination of information
on this subject, as well as to the cultiva-
ton of sugar cane.

KEEPS UP INVESTIGATION.
Grand Jury VIII Have Prominent
Politicians Before IL.

The grand jury of the Superior Court
will meet at o'clock this afternoon,
when it will continue its Investigations
If political conditions prevailing in Sa-
vannah, with particular reference to the
incidents of the last special election for
Ordinary and Tax Collector.
The two candidates for Ordinary en-
that occasion, Maj. Thomas Screven and
Capt. Henry McAlpin. have been served
with subpoenas to appear before the
grand jury and tell what they know
Messrs. J. J. Clarity. William Peck, ].
l. Killorin and some six or eight others
have been similarly honored with invita-
lions to attend the grand jury's session.
All of those in addition to the candi-
dates, VINO have been summoned to Sp-
pear before the grand jury, were more
or less prominently in the public eye
about the polls on the day of election and
are supposed. by the grand jury at least,
to know something of what happened on
that occasion. 1t is doubtful, even con-
ceding the correctness of the hypothesis
upon which the grand jury is proceeding,
If any considerable addition will be made
to the store of information the grand
jury now possesses by the investigation
VI lIlS dIltInObts
The subpoenas in all cases say the
witness is required to appear and tell
what he knows in the matter of John
Dow" charged with a misdemeanor.
Usually these subpoenas contain a refer
ence to John Doe" a character in a
legal fiction now rapidly being forgotten,
but the one who issued the subpoenas for
the grand jury effected trifling change
in the accustomed Technology.
The Law and Order League seems to
have abandoned its efforts to have al
legged violators of the Sunday laws in
dicted, at least by the present grand jury
The league wanted indictments against
those charged with keeping open bar
rooms the Sabbath so framed that
conviction would necessarily entail the
forfeiture of the defendants license; the
grand jury was not willing and could
not be brought to adopt a course fraught
with such serious consequences, and the
league members and witnesses were dis
gusted. They have announced their in
tention of waiting until another grand
jury has been drawn and summoned.
The criminal business to be investi-
gated by the grand jury is comparatively
small in amount and it is likely, there
fore, that the greater part of its session
will be devoted to the investigation of the
alleged corruption and political debau-
cherry about the polls on the day of the
special election.
