NEGRO SHOOTS
WOULD-BE THIEF
WAS ATTEMPTING TO ATTRACT
HIS ATTENTION WHILE PALS
ROBBED VICTIMS POCKETS
SHOOTING FOLLOWED.

Selma, June 30-(Special. )-There was
fatal shooting ARRAY on the excursion
train for Mobile Saturday night, which
Vile. Among the hundreds Of negroes
that took advantage of the low rate was
Louis Phillips, alias Sanders, alias Chic
adee," and three of his pals, whose
names are unknown. When about seven
miles this side of Minter Station and still
in Dallas County, "Chicadee" saw an
other negro flash a roll OF money. AS
the negro put the wallet back In his
pocket, 1t is said "Chicadee'' walked up
to him and putting his arms around his
neck, looked him fun In the eye, pre-
! tending to be playing. At the same time
the three pals began searching the pock-
cts OF the negro for the wallet. As the
would-be victim of the conspiracy felt
the hands of the other negroes going into
his pockets, he pulled out a big "a, and
placing it against "Chicadee's" body,
fired all five shots into him.
The three negroes who were doing the
robbery then jumped upon the one with
the pistol who had just mortally wound
ed their leader and threw him backwards
off the fast moving train. They then real
lied their implication In both the crime
of robbery and perhaps murder Of the
negro they had thrown from the train.
and before Minter Station was reached
they too jumped from the train and dis
appeared.
"Chicadee'' was examined and found to
be in death throes Two bullets entered
just below the heart, two more entered
in the center Of the abdomen and an
other on the right side. The negro who
did the shooting just calmly moved his
pistol slightly after each shot. The
wounded negro was put of at Snow Hill,
but death soon came to him, and he was
shipped back TO Selma last night on the
passenger train,
The name of the negro who did the
shooting was not learned, nor has 1t yet
developed what became of him when he
was thrown from the train. = speed Of
about thirty miles an nour was beng
made when the shooting occurred. but
1t Is not thought he was injured by his
fall.

Summer Amusenments
AT EAST LAKE.

The crowd that filled the orchestra cir
Gle and table space at the aquatic theatre
last night witnessed by far the best
vaudeville bill of the season. LaRoy and
LaVanion were heralded as the head
liners. and their performance on the hori-
zontal bar is really marvellous.
These two experts execute seemingly
impossible feats and all the while inject
laughable antics into their work. The
turn is repiete with sensational feat
ures and the triple somersault Of La
vanion was something entirely new
Sharing headline honors with the aero
bats came petite Leah Russell, the origi-
nal 'Yiddish soubrette, Eschewing the
usual short skirt and freaky costumes
utilized by soubrettes, Miss Russell APP
pears in a charming gown and looks the
part of prima donna rather than a
soubrette. She sings most facetious
dream song and then comes a period of
story telling in Jewish dialect that Gre
ates a furore of laughter and applause.
But the hit of the evening was her imita
ton of Yiddish girl singing medley OF
popular songs. About half the words are
Hebrew and to those who are conversant
with the language the song makes a
triple hit. Miss Russell is only IS years
old and is Southern girl. her place Of
birth and rearing being Savannah.
Beahan and Mascotte in Dutch sing
ing and dancing act bring down the house
with each of their songs, and their COM
edy work Is of the first order. Charles
Smith, the sweet-voiced tenor. grows in
popular favor and is probably the favor
lite OF the bill owing to his excellent work
and numerous friends gained during his
stay In the city.
The biograph presented new and inter-
esting Views which pleased the audience.
If liberal applause could be accepted as
evidence Calmans orchestra of six
pieces furnish the musical programme.

He suggested significantly that soon
an opportunity will be offered to know
whether the policy of Mckinley and
Roosevelt was to be upheld in this coun-
try.

He protested against consideration of

We Owe Cuba Nothing.
Mr.. Elkins declared he could hnd no
obligation which the United States owed
Cuba, and he challenged Mr.. Hanna and
Mr.. Plat to indicate such obligation.
w STAND lnoeDIeQ TO OuDht inter-
Jected Mr.. Bailey of Texas, "at least to
the extent Of the money expended by
General Wood for the advancement OF
the Cuban reciprocity propaganda and

IT don't believe" interrupted Mr.. Bal

ton and he urged that Mr. Beveridge
withdraw that insinuation."
II make no insinuation," retorted Mr..
Beverage, IF the senator will withdraw
his word about a high official of the
State Department, I will be very glad
indeed to withdraw mine"
Would Not Be InsuIted.
1.-THE assertion" said Mr. Bailey hotIy,
that have made an unwarranted at
tack upon man whom the senator de-
scribes as being as honorable as myself,
l want to say now, Is so offensive that
1t is deserving only of such reply as the
rules of the Senate will not permit me
to make here. Neither the senator nor
quest me to withdraw what / have said
in the performance of my duty, before
he withdraws his insulting remarks
Mr.. Beveridge declined to withdraw
his words, saying that Mr.. Bailey was
entirely too sensitive. HE knows very
we'll" said Mr. Beveridge referring to Mr..
Bailey, that the words 'unwarrant ed at
tack were not an insult and not In
tended to be. The senator from Texas
employed extraordinarily violent Ian
guage concerning the solicitor of the
State Department The senator is not in
suited he declared, but only sensitive"
In later colloquy Mr.. Bailey said:
Gun idtnOm the lnlelllgence OF every
man in this chamber except that OF the
Senator from Indiana"
II am glad to know" retorted Mr.. Bev-
eridge, that you are beyond your
depth"
Mr.. Fairbanks of Indiana at this point
explained that he had communicated
with Solicitor Penfield since the debate
had arisen and was convinced that the
trouble Mr.. Bailey found himself in had
grown out of a misunderstanding. Every
paper in The ccse was at the disposal of
Mr.. Bailey, and he knew tDar solicitor
Penfield had no intention of inconven-
fencing the Texas Senator.
Mr.. Beiley directed attention to the
fact that Mr.. Beveridge had not with
drawn the Offensive words he had used
toward him. Mr. Beveridge replied that
Ir. Bailey had not withdrawn the vio-
lent language he had employed toward
Judge Penfield, and said he (Beveridge)
had disclamed any intention or insult
ing Mr. Bailey, but he did not think hts
characterization of Mr.. Bailey's words
was too strong.
Mr.. Mason Of Illinois thought DIR.
Scott had been ill-treated and that the
resolution ought to pass
At Mr.. Bailey's request the resolution
finally was referred tc the committee on
foreign relations who were to investigate
the case and report en- it. The Senate
then adjourned
