brutally numbering her. was yesterday
sentenced to be hanged on the 23d OF next
month. There was assembled at the
courthouse in New Kent the largest
crowd that has been gathered there in
many years. There was no impatience
or disorder shown, but, nevertheless, the
crowd had gathered with the determined
purpose to lynch the negro if the court

Jury was only ten minutes in bringing IN

case. Mrs. Glow testified and made
plain statement, not being in the least

cused. Johnson seemed in dazed con-
dition throughout the trial.

REPRESENTATIVE EDDY, of Mime
sofa. in Washington yesterday made a
sensational attack upon the attitude OF
his party associates in the House upon
the question of trusts. Mr.. Eddy re-
ferred particularly to the republican
membership of the ways and means
committee, which is probably the most
important committee of the House, and
deals with the tariff and other kindred
subjects. He said there is little hope for
antitrust legislation from the present
ways and means committee of the House
and that the republicans Of the commit
tee never would attack any of the trusts.
The democrats have known this all thg
time, but they hardly expected the adj
mission from republican member OF
Congress.

over the reported carousal Of the Grand
Duke Borius, cousin of the Car, with

sui in Chicago, Wednesday night.
"As to the removing or commanding
the removal of one of the girls slippers
from her foot in order that the duke
might drink her health from that recep-
tacIe," he said, ''there is no reason why
one should hold up his hands in holy
horror over such n performance. That
is permissible, viewed from the Russian
point of view. In Russia, you know,
drinking cut Of slippers is a common oc-
currence. 1t is the custOm-a mark of
honor and esteem,

THE HODGE SUIT.
Sensational Affidavits Filed in Supreme
Court at Trenton.

--~-
New York, Aug. 24-Afidavits filed.
Saturday, in Trenton in the now fa-
NOUS Hodge suit against the United
States Steel Corporation contain state
ments fully as sensational as the re.
cent development in the Peter Power
case.
Attorneys for the steel trust have oh
tanned confession from James II.
Lancaster, one of the alleged exper is
on whose report great part of the
litigation wss based. which goes to
show that 500 was first paid for his
affidavit that the plants and properties
of the United States Steel Corporation
We're worth only s500,00O.0O0.
Equally as interesting is the affidavit
Of George A. Day, lawyer of Omaha,
Neb., who swears that i'm David Lamar.
who. il is assumed. is behind the whole
case. he recognized a former acquain-
lance and client formerly known as
David Fl. Lewis.
In the confession of Lancaster, on
which an affidavit is presented, it is
brought out that Lamar, after some
subsequent objections from Lancaster
agreed to pay the fatter $3.50 a week
and $4,000 when a settlement of the
suit was made. The affidavit also
brings out The point that Lamar as
sured Lancaster that the settlement
would be made Nov. /. Notwithstand-
ing these promises, Lancaster objected
to the use Of the affidavits in the suit
against the steel trust and threatened
TO expose everything, whereupon La
mar raised the compensation to $1,000.
provided Lancaster would execute
general release and sign letter to the
effect that he would make no disclos-
urcs of what had occurred.
Following the disclosures in the Peter
Power suit, in which the banking firm
of j. P. Morgan & Co. unearthed and
exposed to public view a great mass of
unsavory methods in Wall street, the
testimony in the Hodge case filed with
the Jersey court, Saturday, indicates
that the same firm is pursuing with re-
lentless vigor the men who are at
tempting to hold up the firms plans.

IN JOINT DEBATE.
J. F. Carey and e. N. Merrill Discuss
JAZZ Matters at Skowhegan.

Skowhegan, Me-, Aug. 23.-One of the
largest audiences ever seen in Coburn
Opera house gathered, tonight, to lis
tn to the joint debate between Repre-
sentative James F. Carey of Haverhill
Mass. and E. n Merrill, independent
Republican candidate from this town
to the next Legislature. A. X. Butler
of this town, was chairman OF the
meeting.
Mr.. Carey spoke first He said among
other things that there are two classes.
the possessing class and the dispos-
sessed class. The latter, in order to
live, must have access to the machines
which are owned by the former. In
order to do this they must sell their
services at a price less than the pro-
ductive profit of the possessing class.
These two classes are the laborers and
the capitalists.
The productions of the former are
stolen legally, but never less stolen by
the latter. The modern capitalist mas
ceased to be a factor in his MIL or
factory. He has developed into a para
site and he need no longer stay at
home and look after his business. He
can go to Europe or to hi, but his
profits keep rolling to him, just the
same which are accumulated by the
working man.
According to the census of 1900 the
laboring man produced $13,000,G00, 900,
and for producing this he received ST.
300 0O0, 600.
This is what the Republican party
call prosperity. In other words. the
working class which constitutes SO per
cent. of the populace get only one-half
as much as the capitalists, who consti-
tute only 4 per cent. of the population.
Mr.. Merrill said:
There are some things about Social
ism that are good. There are also some
things about the Republican and Dein-
ocratic parties that are good. Not all
of the good men are in one party, there
are good men in each. My opponent
stated that Socialism is only 20 years
old, but as matter of fact it is as old
as the Messiah. Plato. 400 years before
Christ. was a Socialist.
THE definition of Socialism is, Take
from him who has too much and give
to him who has not enough, but who
is to decide who has too much and who
mas not enough?"
Mr.. Merrill ridiculed Bellamy's book,
Looking Backward" and stated that
the great Socialist cry of direct prma-
ries was plank in the last platform of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties.
AS it had been agreed that each de-
batter was to have but two periods of
30 minutes each, Mr.. Merrill had to give
way to Mr.. Carey.
In Mr.. Carey's last half-hour he paid
his respects to the trusts, particularly
the beef trust. t. Ip
In Mr.. Merrilrs last half he devoted
his time to refuting the statements Of
Mr.. Carey by reading statistics
