CONGRESSMAN LESTER. of Georgia
has written a letter to the Savannah
Cotton Exchange, in which he saws
he does not know what TO make OF
the President and he does not know
OF any one else who does. This re-
mark grows out OF the fact that Mr..
Roosevelt has reappointed the col
ored Collector of Customs at Savan-
nah, against the protests of the lead
ing citizens of that city, backed up
by Mr.. Lester. This action of the
President ought not to be a mystery
to Mr.. Lester or to any one else who
Is watching the course OF events.
The President is a candidate for the
nomination 10y the next National Re
publican Convention. and Collector
DeveauX is said to be one of the
most influential cOlored men in Geor-
gia, ii not in the South, and will be

ence, which probably means many

HANGED FOR MURDER.

Toronto, Ont, July lS.-Fred Lee
Rice, a young man of twenty-four, hav-
ing a university education, was hanged
here at SOP this morning for the murder
of county constable Boyd, of this city,
six months ago. The case has excited
great interest for months. Rice, with
two other robbers, Routlege and Jones,
were being tried for postoffice robbery at
small town near here. They were
found guilty and sentenced for long
terms. On the way to the Jail from the
trial an unknown man threw into the
cab three revolvers. The robbers, al
though handcufed together, used them
to effect their escape. One of them shot
Boyd dead, and the trio with Jones hand
cuhed in the middle ran to street car.
On the way to the car another constable
shot Jones, who was dragged along by
the others. They were re-arrested.
Jones died from his wounds and Rout-
ledge committed suicide by jumping from
a corridor gallery in the Jail. Rice died
gamely. His neck was not broken and
for twelve minutes he slowly strangled
