Fever Germs.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your editorial paragraph in this
Mornings issue concerning typhoid-fever-
in Baltimore, you quote portion of the
opinion of DR.. Bosley, Health Commits
sioner Of Baltimore, as follows:
II also believe that flies disseminate
the germs OF typhoid-fe though I
have no positive proof upon which to
base this theory"
This is only portion Of Dr.. Bosley's
opinion, however, as printed in the Bal
timore Sun of yesterday. and before the
quoted paragraph comes this sentence,
The drinking of impure water Is. Of
course, the most prolific cause Of typhoid,
though milk Is another fruitful cause
of contagion.'' ask that you publish
this for the full information of our peo-.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION

In connection with the agitation of the
question of child labor in the southern
mills some interesting and suggestive sta
tistics respecting the expansion of the
southern cotton manufacturing interests
have been brought out. These statistics
show marvellous development during the
past few years and justify the most
optimistic predictions as to the future.
Now the average cotton crop in the
United States is 1o.ooo,roo bales. little
more than 40 per cent. Of which is re-
ta!ned for manufacture in this country
Out Of the total, the mills at the North
the old seat Of the cotton textile indus
IRWIN consume 2,z9o.ooo. it is said. while
the southern mills will take up 1,se5,oool
bales.
In 1885. seven years ago, northern mills

The Presbyterian Synod.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch: M
The impression may have been made,
by publication last week, that the
Presbyterian Synod can divide itse.f, at
its meeting in Norfolk, October 21st. The
most that can be done by that meeting,
will be to submit the question to the
presbyteries, to be reported upon at the
meeting IN the fall of 1908 Then the
division cannot take effect, till it Is APP
proved by the General Assembly of May,
1904.

make herself the centre Of great steel

TWO FOR JOLLY FAT MEN.
Defeated the Saengerbund in Well
Played League Games.

The Jolly Fat Mems Club came very
near spelling whatever chances the Saen-
gerbund had for the championship last
night by winning two games from them.
The Saengerbund won their first and only
game by 20 pins, with total of 40 to
$50
After this game the team settled down
and bowled some of the best games in
the. whole series. Brilliant bowling
marked the work of both sides. In these
games two Jolly Fat Men performed the
feat of rolling three clean games without
. break. Armstrong had two and Hamil-
ton the third Scheuerman for the visi-
tors had a high score with 2I0 and had
second best average, 175. Armstrong
was in his old-time form. and lea the
evening with lS1 average. and ~ and 20S

he was in collision with trolley car on

went to the Guards Centre Market gym
nasium last night and played return
game with the Urell Rifles, winning by
the score of s to 3.
1t was one of the hest-played games of
the series, and decidedly interesting to
a large crowd. Murphy was in great
form. He struck out eight men, and had
splendid support, especially from Mean
nally. Crowley, and Kerr. Atz played his
usual strong game. and in addition
cracked out = three-bagger and single.
1t was Brooks first game at first, and
ne played like a veteran. Costello and
Cleary led in the hitting. each having
three hits. The latter had a homer and
a double and the former double.
Kennedy pitched a good game for the
Urells and mad good support. Cronin had
a two Dagger to his credit.
The soldiers scored all their runs in

THANKED THE JURY
FOR HIS ACQUITTAL
Yorke Nelson Found Not
Guilty of Manslaughter.
Was So Happy Over Verdict That He
Could Not Find Words to
Express His Gratitude.

II thank you, gentlemen, and really
am SO happy l can't say anything more. -
were the words in which Yorke Nelson.
colored. yesterday expressed his graft
tude to the members of the jury which ac-
quilted him of the charge of manslaughter,
for which he was tried
Nelson was placed on trial on Monday
morning in Criminal Court No. /, charged
with killing Charles Washington, also
colored. on October 3 last, at 80 Twenty
sixth Street.
The argument in the case was concluded
yesterday about noon, and after a brief
charge by Justice Anderson the case was
submitted to the jury. The court ad-
journed for recess, but before the time
had expired Justice Anderson was noti-
fed that verdict had been agreed upon.
He went into he court room and sent for
the prisoner and his counsel Messrs. Las
key and Thompson.
Assistant District Attorney Taylor rep
resenting the Government. was also pres
ent. When asked for the verdict the fore
man answered Not guilty" Nelson, who
was standing, smiled ana sat down. Mr.
Thompson then moved that the prisoner
be discharged, and the justice so ordered.
AS soon as Nelson secured an opportuni-
ty he walked over to where the jurors
sat and expressed his gratitude to them
in the words quoted above.
The crime for which Nelson was placed
on trial was committed at an eating
house kept by man named Adams
While there Washington entered the place
and commenced to abuse him. Nelson
according to the p:eponderance of the
evidence, tried to avoid a personal diff
ficulty with Washington.
He left the house and Washington fol-
lowed him and made a vicious assault
upon him. Nelson was forced back upon
a low paling fence. and while he was
kept in that position it was testified that
Washington continued to rain fierce blows
upon his face.
Finding himself unable to get away
from his assailant, Nelson took small
knife from his pocket and struck at
Washington. Unfortunately the blade of
the knife pierced Washingtons heart,
and he died within few minutes after
the wound was inflicted.
