sympathizes With Colombia.

Mr. F. F. whittekin of Pennsylvania. while en route to Florida stopped over in Montgomery yesterday owing to the serious illness of his wife.
 MT. Whittekin was formerly chief en- gineer and general manager of the gov ernment railroads of the republic of Colombia and having resided in that country eight years he is familiar with Its people and resources. He entertains very good opinion of the higher and really ruling class of Colombian citizens. His sympathies as expressed in a short interview yesterday evening are plainly with the Colombians in the recent Pana- ma complications.
 While himself an American citizen and Republican in politics he is strongly opposed to the government policy which would secure an inter-oceanic water way at the sacrifice of what he calls National honor. He expresses the opinion that the Colombian Government will not yield without war which, while 1t means de- feat for that country will prove a most unfortunate experience for the streHuous United States administration.
 While resident of Medellin Mir. Whit tekin became acquainted with Judge Francis C. Randolph. former citizen of Montgomery and often visited him during his Imprisonment for murder. Previous to this unfortunate incident in Judge Randloph's Colombian career he stood high in a social and business way.

The Democratic majority in the muni- cipaI election In Boston last Tuesday was about 26.0OO. There was negro candidate on the Republican ticket and he was showed under with an adverse majority of 5s.1D votes. Even in Boston, where so many negro adorers are continually featuring the Southern people, 5000 Re- publicans refused to vote for their ool- ored nominee. As The Baltimore Sun says: ''The Republicans of Boston are a unit in demanding recognition of the col cred man in Dixie. but when he presumes to apply for a good office in the MassI- chusetts metropolis. they smile him iev- ousiy at the polls The colored brother has been wounded in the house of his most blatant friends"

Attempted to Blow Open the
Safe at Garrettsville
But Failed.

Cleveland, o., March 2S.-A desperate te

and citizens on the other at Bedford, a
suburb, resulting in the death of one of
the robbers and the wounding and cap
ture of another. The third man escap-
ed. Very late last night three masked
men entered the town of Garrettsville,
rs miles east of Cleveland, and attemp-
ted to blow open the safe of the post
office and failed. They stole a horse
and buggy and drove to Ravena, where
they boarded freight train for Cleve-

been aroused at both Ravena and Gar

Bedford a number of deputy s11eriffs
and a posse of citizens were on hand
armed with guns and revolvers. The
three burglars jumped from the train
as it drew up to the station and a
running fight began, with the above re-
suit. None of the officers or citizens

THE BREAK HAS
WIDENED AT LA GRANGE
Water Continues to Pour Through the Crevasse
at Fearful Rate and Wild Excitement
Prevailed Last Night
UNcoNFIRMED REPORTS OF LOSS OF LIFE

Green vile, Miss, March 2S.-The wa
ter continues to pour through the Gre
vase at La Grange, five miles south of
this city, at fearful rate and the sur
rounding country for miles is covered
by two to five feet of water. The break
has widened over night and is now
about 400 yards wide. The widest ex-
citement prevailed here last night and
reports Of loss of life were received but
this morning there was no confirmation
and it Is believed that all persons had
sufficient warning to escape. The loss
to livestock, however, will be enormous
as hundreds of horses, mules, cows
and hogs were swept away.
This morning the water submerged
the entire southern part of the city.
The business portion of the town has so
far escaped the encroachment of the
flood, but the water is rising rapidly
and the worst is feared.
CRDvAssE WIDENING SLOWLY.
New Orleans, La, March 2S-The riv-
err has fallen here another tenth of a
foot, undoubtedly the result of a break

at Hymelia. The news from Hymelia
continues to be favorable, though the
work Of cribbing was somewhat retar-
ded today by the failure of additional
supplies of lumber to arrive.
The crevasse is widening very slowly
and is still not quite 200 feet. Six to
eight plantations are already more or
less under water. Water has invaded
the town Of Lucy some distance away.
Traffic on the Texas and Pacific has
be,n interrupted, the tracks at some
points being submerged. Those in
charge of the work at the crevasse con-
tinue to be quite optimistic as to the
chances of closing it. The rain storm
during the night was too brief to do
any damage to the work. The rest of
the Louisiana line continues to hold.
There is a hard fight going on at Hope
levee but it is hoped to hold it.
ONLY SIX BLOCKS.
New Orleans, La, March 2S.-Only six
blocks Of the city of Greenville, Miss,
are above water. No lives have been
lost as far as known, but the situation
Is serious.

Many citizens have suggested to the

There is dumping-ground on the way
to the National Cemetery that should be
attended to as well as the sewer before
the President and his party go out that
way. In fact, the entire town should
be cleaned up and bridges repaired.
The road to the reservoir should be put
in good condition and drive taken to
that point. Other places which it has
been suggested visits should be made

comment of a general nature or predic-
tion as to what is likely to occur, un-

tempt of court. The court instructed
the representatives present to refrain
from anything that might influence the
jury and stated If this admonition Is
not sufficient the court would be COM
PEELED to adopt measures as he deemed
sufficient. Objection was made to the
new panel and a recess was declared

HARRIS MURDERER
STILL AT LARGE
The Assassin Was Clever Enough to Pre-
vent the Blood Hounds Following Him
and Knew Too Much to Remain on
the Train Until It Was
Searched.
HAS NOT BEEN seen SINCE
DISAPPEARING FROM lAMy

Sheriff H. c. Kinsell returned home
empty handed last night after two
| days search for the murderer of U. F
| Hart, night agent of the Atchison, To.
peka and Santa Fe railway at Cerril-
los. Sheriff Kinsell states that no trace
of the fugitive can be found since his
disappearance from Lamy Junction
about five hours after the tragedy
There is but little room to doubt that
the man seen at Lamy Thursday MORN
ing is the one that killed Hart.
Immediately after the shooting,
Hart's murderer ran from the depot
and started north. The cries of the
wounded man soon attracted others to
the scene, and no one was allowed to go
north Of the depot that night. When
Sheriff Kinsell arrived with the blood
hounds, they were taken north of the
depot. They tracked the fugitive to the
top of a bluff short distance furt ther
and then turning returned to the rail-
way yards where the scent was lost.
There was a freight train passed
through not long after the shooting and
the sheriff thinks that the murderer
started to flee into the mountains, but
hearing the approaching train waited
until it arrived, took coal and water,
and then went down into the yards and
boarded 1t. The party seen at Lamy
station put in his appearance there
shortly after the arrival of this freight
train. The murderer was evidently
main on the train long, expecting that
all trains would be searched yet he
rode far enough to prevent the blood
hounds from following him. When he
entered the depot at Lamy the agent
and car repairers We're discussing the
and the fact that Hart had CIV
en- good description of his assailant.
1t was not until he had left that some
one remarked that he filled the descrip-
ton given of the murderer and then no
attempt was made to arrest him.
Sheriff Kinsell secuted the country
all around Lamy yesterday, but was
unable to find even the tracks Of the
assassin. The rain of the night before
1ad probably blotted them out.
Knowing that his description is in
possession of the officers, the murderer !
Will likely avoid railroads and towns 1
Ind may be able to disguise himself to
Iome extent. Thus it would seem that /
le stands q good chance to escape.
However, all trains are still being |
and as a description Of the |
murderer has been sent to various |
POINTS he may yet be apprehended.
