form, Is mentioned, our minds almost in
varibly go back to the great and noble
philanthropist, John Howard. Notwith-
standing the fact that much along the
same line has been accomplished by Others,
it was he who began the great movement.
His grave and potent personality, made up
of unaffected earnestness, simplicity Of
purpose and religious courage was the
means of carrying the light into many

1t is also from him that prison labor
dates. Howard found the prisoner closely
confined in absolute idleness. He said:
'Idleness is the Mother of Crime" and
began to work that he might in a meas-
ure abolish It. Through his efforts peni-
tentiaries were established, and the pris-
oner taught some occupation. Today not
only England, but every other civilized
country feels the influence of his unselish
labors."

lection. He was Immediately taken to

mon was under the influence of whiskey
and was returning home from Lancaster

ing the conversation Blackmon pulled out
bottle and attempted to strike him
over the head. and that while Blackmon
was making an effort to strike him, he
SHOT him in sef-defense.
The four negroes at Evans corroborated
what he had to say. These were so in
tent on telling of Evans innocence that
all four were arrested and placed in Jail

was one of the most prominent farmers
of the county, and his friends claim that

New York, May 1S.-The police were
called today to quell riot at Broadway

were armed. Four of them had stilet-
toes one of which was two feet long The

early today. The men 21 in number who
were arrested, were lettering along the ex-

JEWS MAY NOT ARM

to Leave Russia.
Their Only Refuge Being Amsrics, the United
Ststes Government May Take Dipls-

tBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 1S.-None of the many
resolutions relative to the Kischineff out
break adopted yesterday at various places
in the United States has reached the State
Department and the officials have MOTH
ing new before them upon which to pro-
ceed. 1t is not known whether further in
structions have been sent to our embassy
at st. Petersburg. So she depart
ment has before it onTy per clip
pings, describing the Kischineff massacre
and it scarcely feels authorized to move
upon that basis. even if it had the power
tc do so.
The brief cablegram from st. Petersburg
might open the way for diplomatic action
on the part of the United States in this
matter. That statement said the Russian
government had forbidden the Jews to
arm or defend themselves with a delber-
ate purpose of forcing them to emigrate
to the United States for nowhere in
Europe could they find refuge Such ac-
tIon would be similar to that taken by
the Roumanian governmnt upon which
the State Dpartment laid down the doc
trlne that the dumping of hordes of emf
grants likely to prove paupcrs upon our
shores was obnoxious to our government
Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassa
dor. IN conversation today with a rep
resentatlve of the Associated Press rela
tive to the Jewish troubles in Russia said
There is In Russia as in German and
Austria, a feeling against certain of the
Jews. The reason for. this unfriendly at
titude is found in the fact that the Jews
viii not work a field or engage in agri-
culture They prefer to be money lend
ers. Give Jew a couple of dollars and he
becomes a banker and money broker In
this capacity he takes advantage of the
Russian peasant, whom he soon has in
his power and ultimately destroys. IT is
when the patience of the peasant is ex-
hausted that a conflict between peasants
and Jews occurs. Ordinarily the Russian
is very patient person, but it is only
naturally that he don't entertain a feel
ing of resentment for the one who has
wrought his ruin.
FThe Russian government affords the
same protection to the Jews that it does
to any other of its citizens, and when
riot occurs and Jews are attacked the of
fials imediately take steps to apprehend
those who began the riot and visit severe
punishment upon them. In the past Rus
slams have been punished severely for at
tacks upon Jews. But notwithstanding
these conflicts the Jews continue to do
the very things which have been respon-
sible for the troubles which involve
them''

BLAZE At Bill TMORE
Flames Among the Live Stock
Which are Saved With
Difficulty.
Especial to News and observer.)

Asheville N. c., May Considerable
damage was done by fire on the Wander
bilt estate last night The piggery and
adjacent buildings were destroyed. though
the live stock were saved with difficulty.
Some of the swine are very valuable, for
it is here that the big annual sales of
the Berkshires takes place. 1t was stated
this morning that about the cheapest hog
in the lot was worth something like $780,
while some Mr.. Vanderbilt would not part
with at any price. The principal difficulty
in getting these animals out of the fire
lay in the fact that there were only two
of tie attendants about at the time
These two men worked desperately for
while, for it is hard to get any animal
out of a burning building. 1t is not
known just how the fire started, but the
presumption is that it originated from
the boiler room. 1t was remarked, how
ever, that it could not be understood
how this was possible as there would
have been no fire in the boiler on Sunday.
The estimated loss is something over fvc
thousand dollars.

New Orleans. La, May 1S.-One hun

and more arriving on every train, ten thou

as haHs especial charge and hundreds
more upon their way; bands of men clad
in the ancient gray parading through the
streets. the crash of bands and the cheers
Of thousands who line the thorough
fares; that is the situation in New Or
leans tonight on the eve of the 18th an
nual reunion Of the reunited Confederate
veterans.
Never in the history of the city have
such elaborate preparations been made
for the reception and entertainment of
people from abroad as have been made
for this occasion and from all appear
ances they will be successful to the last
degree. The local committees are thor
0ughly up in their work and quarters are
provided for all who come as soon as they
ask for them. All over the city the hos
pitable citizens have thrown open their
doors, the hotels are filed to oyerflowing
and thousands of the old soldiers have
taken quarters in fthe camp at the Fair
Grounds where excellent arrangements
have been made for housing and enter
tanning them. BY tomorrow morning the
great mass of visitors viii have arrived
and it is roughly estimated that fully $780,,
600 people viii be here by the time the
convention opens at noon. On all sides
it is conceded that the present reunion
will be one OF the most successful that
has ever been held by the organization.
No more elaborate decorations have
have ever been put up by any city than
the citizens of New Orleans have arranged
for this reunion. Canal street Is a blaze
of crimson bunting, festooned, grouped,
twined, flung loose in streamers and re-
vealed in countless tossing banners All
the side streets are also decorated as are
most of the residences in the city but
the especial effort has been made along
Canal street, and tic effect is most beau
tiful The old stars and bars form. as
a matter of course, the prominent fea-
ture in the scheme of decorations, but the
stars and stripes are seen on every hand
and on the peak OF the auditorium, the
banner of the republic that lives floats
two to one for the banner of the republic
that died.
The exercises of the day will open at
10 O'Clock when under the auspices of
the Southern Memorial Association SER
vices in honor of Jefferson Davis will be
held Two hours later the. delegates will
be called to order by General John B.
Gordon. commander-in-chief There will
be speeches of welcome to the old
soldiers from representatives of the State
of Louisiana, the city and the various
local bodies Of veterans and affiliated or
ganizations 1t is not likely that the open

prise much of anything beyond the ad-
dress of welcome. The session VIII con-
clude with the appointment of commit
tees on credentials and resolutions.

at $3.50 o'clock and will continue for
about two hours.

first because trading there began some five
hours earlier than our time, and a rise
equivalent to 80 points in the price OF
spot cotton in that market and 20 to So
points in futures did not need any ex-
tensively cabled remarks to show what
was happening there. 1t was, however,
stated that the followers Of the New Or
leans bull clique had flooded the market
earlier in the day with buying orders
and their appearance was enough to excite
the shorts and cause them to scramble TO
cover. All records for the present move
ment were broken. May sold as high as
11.6S and July up to 1126. After closing
at considerable decline on Saturday,
prices started this morning to jump and

feature of the afternoon was the pur-
chase of large line of short cotton in
July, during which the entire market be-
came very excited, with prices advancing
rapidly One broker had an order to cover
200 bales of May cotton, The price Was

after a broker had 300 bales of May to sell
and he sold the market down to 1I60e

like a reaction and at that point heavy
selling orders reappeared that soon brought
