Own Hand and an investigation Has
Been Set on Foot

his brother. Robert Remington, was
murdered in this city. was received
with inCredulity here tonight
Chief of Police Richards, when inter
viewed by an Associated Press repre-
sentative, said il was absolutely inn
possible that Mr.. Remington could have
been murdered. He said he thoroughly
investigated the affair soon after il
happened with a view to finding wheth-
er there might be any possibility of
murder having been committed, and
that there could be no doubt that the
man came to his death by his own
hand. He said that while the body was
lying here awaiting the arrival of the
brother he examined the revolver with
which the shooting was done. He
found that il was an old French re-
volver, and that it had not been bought
in this city.
Medical Examiner Ecroyd who
viewed the body and who deemed an
autopsy unnecessary. stated tonight
that there was nothing to indicate that
the man died other than by suicide.
The only mystery about the whole af-
fair, he said, was that he could find
traces of only two shots. while three
barrels of the revolver were empty
J. J. Hanalen. whose name has been
mentioned in connection with this case
is in New York
The undertaken who had charge OF
the body also gave it as his opinion
that it must have been d case of sui
eide.

CRASH SURE TO COME
Russell Sage Believes Combina-
tons of Capital Are Menace
to True Government,

New York, Aug 21.-RusselI Sage, in
an interview today, referred to a pub
Iished statement quoting J. P. Nor
gan as saying that the era of great
trusts had just begun and that more
gigantic corporations are stored in the
near future. some of which may over
shadow the steel trust. Mr.. Sage
said:
Whether Mr.. Morgan said that or
not, combinations of all industries are
a menace to true government Not
only so but they are oppressors of the
people,
What will be the result of such an
era?" asked the reporter
In such an event, the American peo-
pie will revolt against them and there
viii be financial ruin, the like of which
this country has never senior any
other
1t was suggested to Mr. Sage that
there was a general opinion that COM
binatiOns at certain tines were good
things for the country
Yes" Mr. Sage replied, when sew
eral industries are starting out in bust
ness it is well for individuals to COM
bine for mutual protection until the
business is firmly established When
the business is so esta blished, the COM
bination should be disputed and the
business conducted on individual lines.
Then if one individual became embar-
raised it would not mean the wrecking
of the industry 1 believe it is better
to have such industries divided among
several individuals than combined into
one great combination. the embarrass-
nent of which would mean the ruin Of

VTyILIIAMsPoR Pa, Aug. IL
wv 1t was reported tonight from an
authoritative source that Edward
P. Remington is not satisfied that his
brother Robert died by his own hand.
When it became known that he was
entertaining a suspicion of foul play,
which originated before he left New
port with the body, an Associated Press
representative called on Mr.. Reming-
ton and requested a statement. He re
piled that he would neither deny nor
confirm reports relative to his broth
er's death, except that the autopsy per-
formed today revealed that the bullet
in the mouth caused death. When
asked if the bullet found imbedded in
the dead mans brain fitted the re-
vOlver found by his side, he declared
that he had nothing further to say.
Asked If developments in the case could
be expected. he said they alone would
tell.
Mr.. Remington and his attorney,
Seth T. Mccormick, as well as the
physicians VINO performed the autopsy,
were together in secret conference I'M
til late tonight, and their action is Sur
rounded by much mystery. They posi-
lively refuse to give out any further in
formation.

GOTO THE PRESIDENT

Washington. Aug. H.-The papers in
the case of Caps$in James A Ryan,
Fifteenth cavalry, who was tried by
general courtmartial by order of the
president, on charges of administering
the water cure to natives in the Phil
ippines, have been received at the war
department, and again considered by
Judge Advocate General Davis, and
will be forwarded to the president
CAPTAIN Ryan did not deny admins
tering the water cure, but insisted that
if was necessary in order to accomplish
results. He had some trouble with the
civil authorities and made very tart
report regarding one of the judges of
the civil government This was a
basis of the trial On account of the
preponderance of the testimony in fav-
or of Captain Ryan, it is understood
that the court acquitted him.

The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1902-09-26

J. P. Crawford, of Henry County
Times, gives the following information
about sowing cow peas in corn:
1 use a pea sowing device which Is
attached to my disc cultiyator. This
can be attached at the last blowing OF
the corn and SOW the peas over the
row as you plow it. You can either
sow peas or beans broadcast over the
row or drill row on either side OF the
standing corn. l like brOadcasting best
as l think it benefits the corn by being
all over the ridge and l am sure you
get more peas. Besides they are so
much more easily picked, as there is
nothing in the centre Of your corn row
to bother you in picking. l have tried
drilling a row with One-hOe corn planter
in centre of rows but 1 like the other
way better, as you can SOW for peas
or beans and plow your corn at one
operation. With this attachment you
can see what you are doing and can
SOW just as many peas per acre as
you want.
would be glad to hear from some
of your other readers if they ever
sowed that way, or if they know OF
any better way. l want to learn all
l can. for do not think that many OF
us farmers know too much about
farming. l think that farmers should
write more about what they do an(
how they manage their crops and
work them, and not be so close
mouthed about it, Then think W.
would be better off.
