Dawson Interested in a RrOsecu-
ton by Federal Officials.

The proceedings that were institut.
ed in the United States court at Allan.
Ia a few days ago by General Counsel
John A. Marchand of the Interstate
Commerce Commission against the
railroads at Atlanta for alleged viola.
ton of the interstate commerce law
relating to the pooling of cotton rates
and cotton shipments has resulted in
the returning of three indictments by
the grand jury-One against five of the
railroads entering Atlanta, and one
against individuals representing the
railroads, charging them with vi0lAt-
ing the fifth section of the law to reg
ulate commerce, and Joint Indictment
against both railroads and individuals
for violating the Sherman antitrust
act.
The railroads indicted are the South
ern, Seaboard Air Line, Atlanta and
West Point, Western and Atlantic and
the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company.
The individuals are Second Vice
President w. w. Finley and General
Freight Agent L. A. Neil. of the
Southern railway of Washington;
President and General Manager Chas.
A. Wickersham of Atlanta and Traffic
Manager II. f. Lutz of Montgomery,
of the Atlanta and West Point rail
road Traffic Manager H. F. Smith of
Nashville and Division Freight Agent
J. A. Sans of Atlanta, of the Mestern
and Atlantic railroad; General Mana
ger Thos. K. Scott and General
Freight and Passenger Agent A. G..
Jackson of the Georgia railroad, Au-
gusta, and S. F. Parrott, chairman OF
the Southeastern Freight Associa-
tion.
Warrants have been issued for the
arrest of the men indicted, and they
will be placed under nohd for their APP
pearance at the next fall term of the
court. The bond in each case is $1,000,
which is the limit of the fine for VIOLA
tions under which the indictments
were returned.
The trial and inal disposition OF
these cases will be watched with inter-
est throughout the country, as the
same conditions as those furnishing
the basis of these indictments at At
lanta are known to exist at other
points in the southern states where any
considerable amount of cotton is hand
led by the railroads.
y 1t is a well-known fact that a pool
exists for has existed in Dawson, and
that at one time it was so arbitrary in
its operations that cotton shippers
were denied the right to route their
own shipments.

Meets HAYS Complaint.

The report that the government of
Roumania has discontinued the issuance
OF passports to Jews intending to emf
CRATE to America, though not officially
confirmed. is regarded by the Washing.
ton authorities as an immediate and
direct recognition by Roumania of the
accuracy of the statements made by
Secretary Hay in the note respecting the
evils of this Jewish immigration and the
underlying causes. The reported sus-
pension OF emigration would be regard
ed as removing the only direct issue be-
tween the United States and Roumania,
and, while we may continue to have a
deep concern in the betterment of the
condition of the Roumanian Jews, the
United States government must, for the
time. rest content with what it has done
in the issue of the identic note to the
powers.
AS to the effect upon the Jews them
selves of the suspension of the right to
emigrate to America. the opinion ex-
pressed here is that the order will accen-
tuate the evils from which the Jews
are suffering at present. and th:t TACT.
in the end, by attracting the attention
of the powers and exciting the humane
sentiments of civilization. will force an
amelioration of the condition OF the

Gas From the Pipes Of a Stove-Analysis

Paris (By Cable. Emile lola. the
famous novelist, who gained additional
erominence in recent years because of
bis defense of Captain Dreyfus. was
found dead in his Paris home Monday
morning.
Asphyxiation resulting from the
fumes from stove in his bedroom is
given as the cause of death.
N. lola and his wife had retired at
10 p. NJ. Nine. lola was found
seriously i'll when the room was broken
into in the morning. About noon she
was removed to a private hospital, where
she recovered consciousness for short
SINE and was able briefly to explain to
magistrate what had happened.
The couple had returned to Paris
rom their country house at Medan the
day before. Owing TO sudden spell OF
cold weather the heating stove in their
bedroom was ordered TO be lighted. The
stove burned badly and the pipes are
said to have been out of order.
To the magistrate Nine. lola said that
she awoke early in the morning with
splitting headache. She awakened her
husband and asked him to open 4 win
dow. He rose and attempted to move
toward a window, but staggered and
fell to the floor unconscious. Nine.
lola tainted at this same moment. and
was therefore unable to give the alarm.
The servants of the lola household,
not hearing any movement in their
masters apartment, entered the bedroom
at Q. 90 o'clock and found the novelist
.ying with his head and shoulders on
the floor and his legs on the bed.
Doctors were summoned. but they fail

A slight odor OF carbonic gas was
noticed when the servants broke into
the bedroom. From the position OF NJ.
Zoia's body it was evident that he had
tried to rise. but had been overcome
BY the fumes from the stove. The ser
wants opened the bedroom windows and
sent for physicians. A commissary OF
lice was also summoned.

evidences OF suicide in the death OF NJ.

substantiate this theory. and the state

.strate seems TO disprove it. NJ. lola
