WOMAN WEPT AND
 THEN DISAPPEARED
MARK J. SPEYERs OF CHARLES TON, S. C., FOUND DYING ON A STREET OF NEW YORK, DUE TO MORPHINE OR OPIUM.

New York. June 1S.--A man partially identified as Mark J. Speyers of Charles ton, s. C., who was found unconscious on the sidewalk on Twenty-third street, near Seventh avenue, is dead at the New York Hospital, apparently from morphine pois- ontng. A young woman, known under sey- eral names, and who Is said to have been employed at the Charleston Exposition and later became a travelling saleswoman for an Atlanta, Ga, mineral water com- papy, was found weeping over the uncon- soious man when ho lay on the sidewalk | She accompanied him to the hospital and remained at his side until he died. Then It IS saio she returned to the rooms on Seventh street, which had been occupied by the couple, packed their belongings and disappeared. From fragments of let ters in the room 1t appeared that her for mer home was Ithaca.
 At the hospital the man had been reg istered as "Sarris." His supposedly true name was learned when a man giving his name as Parquette visited the institu- tion early today. He said telegram had bean received at the Hotel Bartholdi ad- dressed to Mark J. Speyers. and 1t was
 
 had set out to find the address when he recognized the dead man. Speyers, it was learned, registered at the hotel on June from Charleston. He quit the hotel on Sunday night
 The woman who gave her name at the hospital as Mrs Sarris told the physi- clans there that her husband was sub ject to heart disease, but a coroners physician who performed an autopsy could find no trace of any organic trouble He said death had been due to opium or morphine, but there was no evidence that he had been addicted to the use of the drug.
 Atlanta, June 1s.-Mark J. Speyers is a nephew of former City Marshall Mark Tolbert. He was at one time a travelling salesman, but was lately employed in some capacity at the Charleston Ex- position. MT. Tolbert says that on a re- cent visit to Charleston he was intro- duced to Speyers' wife and child Tolbert did not know that Speyers had left Charleston,

Washington, June 1S.-(Special 1.-The arrest of Miss Custis Lee, daughter of the Confederate chieftain, for violating ccmmodations for the races in street cars, hss been seized upon by the class that can see no good in the Southern enactments on this subject to justify their contention. They claim that this cage demonstrates that the separate car laws must ever be impracticable and a source of trouble. The incident Is not only regT ettable by reason of the person. ality of Miss Lee. but 1t comes at an es- pecially inorportune time. when the Louisiana legislature, after a bitter struggle against the street srailroad sym dieate of New Orleans and It's allied in- terests, Is about to enact a separate ca law for that and the other Louisiana cities.
 The friends of separate cars, however, should not be discouraged by this incl dent, nor can any deductions be drawn from it that would apply to any other city in the south. There is in fact no place in the union where such a law could be subjected to so unfair a test as right here in Washington. This Is a veritable negro's paradise. There are 5000 of them within the limits of the city and black fringe beyond the bor- ders. Republican hypocrisy, long en- throned here has pandered to them to such an extent that they have become intolerable. They can enter the bars, restaurants and places of amusement, If they choose, and while the southern peo- pie who predominate here have managed

VICE PRESIDENT BARR OF SEA BOARD Is EXPECTED TODAY. VICE PRESIDENT WlNcHELL OF
 THE FRISCO IS ALSO EXPECTED.

Mir Harry M. Atkinson of Atlanta ar rived in Birmingham last night. It Is his first visit since he sold the Belt Line to the Frisco system, and while he Is known to be plueky and resourceful man in in- Junction fights, If indeed he does not reyel In them, his face beamed when he said he was glad he was out of the Sea board fight. Asked if he had anything to say about the Belt-Seaboard matter, Mir Atkinson replied that he was glad the new owners of the Belt were going to carry out the policy of development which he had started. The Belt, he said, was in good hands, and all the railroads entering Birmingham would be fairly treated. He declined to express an opinion as to whether the differences between the Sea- board and the Belt would be settled out side of court.
