VALDOSTA PLANT SOLD
To the Virginia. Carolina Chemical
Company.

Company.
Valdosta, Ca, April 15.-One of the
most important deals that has been
made in this section in a long time
was consummated at Richmond, Va,
yesterday, in which the Valdosta Guano
Company, one of the largest in this Sec
ton, passes into the hands of the Vir-
Carolina Chemical Company.
The deal was a cash transaction and
not a merger. 1t is understood that
the 1000 shares of stock in the local
company were transferred to the vir-
ginia Carolina Company on a basis OF
$135 per share. 1t is also understood
that the purchasers are going to add
a great deal to the plant, making it
one of the largest in the South.
The Importance of this deal is en-
hanced somewhat in the light of
rumors that have been afloat in this
section for several months. It was
rumored that there was to be a con-
solidation of all of the oil mills of this
section of the state with large CEN
trally located factory to consume their
products. The local guano company
and oil mill was prominently mention
ed in connection with this merger, and
Valdosta was regarded as standing a
good chance for the central factory.
The sale to the Virginia. Carolina
Company may have an important eff
feet upon that deal, though it will
also be better for this city. The pres
ent enterprise is to be enlarged in
every way, while the capitalists who
have sold out to the Virginia Caro-
lima Company will put their money In
other enterprises. They have already
decided upon this.

ALGIERS RECEIVED
L0UBET ROYALTY.
French President Made Welcome
on His Visit.

Algiers, Algeria. April 15.-Algiers
was in gala attire to-day in honor of
the coming of Prsident Loubet, the
first chief of state since Emperor
Napoleon III. to visit the French
North African possessions.
The picturesque streets of the an
cient city were elaborately decorated.
Vast crowds filled the Boulevard de la
Republiqua and the streets leading to
the wharves, and many Arabs in
quaint costumes mingled with the
throngs which awaited the arrival Of
the great white Sultan, as the French
ruler is known among the natives.
In the harbor were the Russian, Brit
ish and Italian squadrons sent to ex-
tend international greetings to the
President.
At 10 o'clock the semaphore signalled
the approach of the French squadron
escorting President Loubet. 1t was
an imposing naval spectacle, the beau
ty of which was enhanced by brilliant
sunshine.
The acting Governor General, M.
WARMER, welcomed the President and
escorted him on board a gorgeously
decorated launch which bore him to
the naval wharf. AS the President
stepped ashore he was most enthu-
| siastically acclaimed, the troops and ma
tives joining in the shouts of welcome,
| while the military bands played the
"Marseillaise."
| A cavalcade of Arab cavalrymen, in
| brilliant red cloaks and mounted on
! richly caparisoned horses, preceded
the Presidents carriage to the winter
| palace. Everywhere the President re-
ceived an ovation.
The only discordant note in the
| Presidents reception was a number
| of shouts of Long live Revolt" (the
late Governor General of Algeria,
who resigned because Premier Combes
| refused him certain explanations in
| connection with the Grande Cha rtreuse
| bribery affair.", which were heard at
| different points during the progress OF
| the presidential party from the har-
| Dor to the winter palace, and which
were intended as protests against the
| governments attitude towards Re-
| voil.
Receptions and an elaborate official
dinner were given at the palace, fol-
lowed by a great ball given by Presi-
| dent Loubet at the summer palace in
| the elevated suburb of Mustapha
From the palace old and new Algiers
| presented a fairly-like aspect, being
superbly Illuminated the warships in
the harbor all standing out with their
| lines marked with lights, and flood
ing the town with the glare of their
searchlights.

THEY HAD A PULL
STRONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT
PROSECUTION.
ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS
sMUGGLED IN PORTO RICO WITH
IMMUNITY.

United States Attorney Declined to
Prosecute, Acting Under Instruc-
tiOns from the Administration at
Washington Civil Obligation
Met and Criminal Proceed
ings DrOpped-OHIciaI Statement
Hints at Reasons of State De-
manding This Unusual Procedure.
Washington, April 15.-The attention
of the officials of the Department of
Justice was called to-day to the pub
lished dispatch from San Juan, Porto
Rico, to the effect that the United
States attorney there had declined to
prosecute criminally number of army
and navy officers for alleged snug
Cling, explaining his action by the
statement that he was acting under
instructions from Washington. The
following statement was made by the
department.:
1.-The facts are that the Treasury De-
partment approved a settlement in one
of the pending cases, on the basis of re-
lief from the criminal liability upon
payment of fine equal to double the
amount of duties. instruction to this
effect was given to the United States
attorney at San Juan by the solicitor
of the treasury, and upon inquiry by
the United States attorney of the De-
partment of Justice for confirmation
of this instruction the subject was
brought before the cabinet, and it was
directed by the President that Secre-
tary Moody and Postmaster General
chnItId fT1UaGtf0afn fha pnfirn
subject upon their arrival at Porto
Rico, and that the case should be dealt
with in accordance with their recon-
mendation.
SmOOthcd 1t All Out.
"The recommendation was that all
criminal proceedings should be dis
missed and discontinued upon the pay
nent of the civil obligation, as above
indicated. In accordance with this
recommendation the Attorney General
directed the United States attorney
for Porto Rico to dismiss pending
cases and to present no more cases
to the grand jury until he was other
wise instructed"
Postmaster General Payne also made
statement substantially to the same
effect. The Department of Justice to-
| day received dispatch from the Unit
| ed States attorney at San Juan ask
ing for further instructions, to which
the department has sent the follow
| ing reply:
| ordered to Dismiss Case.
"Your duty is to obey my instruc-
| ton to dismiss pending smuggling
cases and present no new cases until
| otherwise directed. Considerations OF
| moment not confined to Porto Rico or
| individuals involved have moved the
administration, after full investigation
and deliberation, to course directed
| which will be adhered to. But if grand
| jury calls upon you or court requests
| you will perform your usual functions
before grand jury, The fact that gov
| ernment may not or will not prosecute,
| If indictments are found, does not pre-
vent consideration by grand jury"

MAFIA'S WORK WAS
THE BARREL MURDER.
That Is the Belief of POIice-Eisht
Italians Arrested.

SIS <AANCSANhs
New York, April 15.-Eight Italians,
who, the police assert, are both MEM
bers of the Malta and of big counter
feiting gang, were arrested tonight
by detectives of the Central Office
staff in connection with the murder of
the man whose unidentified body was
found crowded into a barrel yesterday
morning at Eleventh street, near Ave-
nue. d.
Three United States secret service
men declare that on Monday night last
they saw the murdered man in COM
pany with three of the prisoners.
Inspector Schmittberger said to-
night that he has information that the
man was decoyed here from out of
town for the purpose of being got out
of the way lest he should betray Sc
crets of the Malta"
Police work to ascertain who the
man was continued ceaselessly
all last night, under the direction
of two inspectors and a captain, but
to-day the mystery seems to be as deep
as ever.
The police are not yet sure the man
was an Italian. They still think he
might have been a Syrian, Greek
or an Armenian, and persons of those
nationahties have been brought to the
morgue by the score to see the body
Only one person, a Syrian, was able
to give any sort of a clew. He said
he thought he had seen the man in an
Eighth avenue barber shop. The po-
lice at once searched the entire neigh
borhood of the shop, but found no fur
ther clue.
There is a growing conviction that
the man was a victim of secret So
ciety composed of foreigners of some
unknown nationality, and that the mo-
tive of the murder was revenge.
In it's mysterious aspect the case
promises to rival the Meyer Weisbard
murder or the assassination of Joseph
Catania. whose body was sewed in q
sack and dumped on the bay shore near
Fort Hamilton, both of which murders
are as yet unsolved.

sey to the witness and referred the wit
ness to him.

Very Promptly the Directors An
swered "NO."
New York, April ia crisis in the
negotiations between the employees of
the Manhattan Elevated Railway and
the management was reached to-day,
when a committee of employees pre-
sented to the directors a demand for
a nine-hour working day and the lat

Whether the employees will resort to
a strike that will tie up every elevat-

representatives of the employees will
attempt to predict. President Pep

Its up to the men,"

plications for work on the proposed
new subway lines in Brooklyn, Phil

the surface lines in Manhattan, and
that in event of strike these men
could be made into an efficient force
in very short time.

BALDWIN NOW SINGS
A DIFFERENT TUNE
What He Says He Said About Ne
grOes and FiIipinOs.


Denver, Col, April 15.-Gen. Frank
lin d. Baldwin, commanding the De-
partment of the Colorado, who has
been asked to explain an interview
in which he was quoted as speaking
disparagingly of the negro as a SOL
dier, says that his statements were
misunderstood. In an interview print
ed in the News to-day, the general is
credited with the following statement:
What I intended to say was to
express an entirely opposite sentiment
az to my feelings regarding the Fill
pino and negro soldiers. 1 class both
rs second only to the American sol
dier, and 1 would venture any mill
tary enterprise with either one of
those nationalities. 1 consider the
Filipino as susceptible to the highest
state of discipline, and that when
brought to the test he would make
magnificent fighting material. I would
trust my chances for success and my
reputation alone with the Filipino or
the negro soldier"

KILLED RESENTING
INSULT TO A WOMAN.
Mrs. WOrthingtOn Things Strader
was Killed for That


Knoxville; Tenn, April 15-Joseph
Strader, a prominent citizen of Clin-
ton, twenty miles west of here, was
killed late yesterday afternoon while
riding with a stranger from Clinton
to one of the railroad camps on the
Louisville and Nashville extension.
The man was captured this morn
ing at Eubanks Camp, near the scene
of the killing. He gave the name of
A. c. Hammond of Atlanta, Ga. He
claimed to have killed Strader in self
defense, but beyond this would make
no statement.
Mrs. James Worthington states she
passed the men just before the kill
ing, and they were apparently engaged
in friendly struggle, when, she as
serts, the stranger addressed an insult
ing remark to her. This, she says, caused
Strader to defend her honor, and it
is believed this may have caused the
killing. Hammond is in Jail at Clin-
ton.
