Unsigned Letters That
Caused Death.
CONTINUED from First Page.)

neither admit nor deny that he had re-
ceived them, but advised me not to push
an investigation in regard to them, and
insinuated that it would bring to light
something awful and terrible. OF course,
this made me more determined to get
at the bottom of the whole matter in
order to protect and defend the fair name
of my wifes sister. After making all
the investigation I could without any
tangible result, on the 18th March, l
requested Mr.. Samuel S. Nash, mutual
friend of both DR.. Baker and DR.. Bass,
to go to DR.. Baker and ask him to let
him, Mr.. Nash, have the letters so that
Dr. Bass and myself might inspect them,
stating to Mr.. Nash that | felt absolute
ly sure that if it could be proven that
Mrs. Bass wrote them, the matter would
be dropped, and DIR. Bass would throw
around his wife the necessary safe
guards On Friday, the 18th, l asked Mr..
Nash if he had seen DR.. Baker, and he
said he had and that DR.. Baker said he
would think about it. On the following
day, Saturday, the 14th, I again asked
Mr.. Nash if he had seen DR.. Baker, and
he answered that he had heard nothing
from him. DR.. Bass was aware of all
these negotiations and approved of what
was doing to aid him, and at the same
time making an investigation himself. On
Monday, the 10th, the tragedy occurred.
In my opinion, the tragedy was caused
by DR.. Bakers course in regard to these
anonymous letters, and the other mat
ters were only cumulative having no di-
rect or immediate bearing upon what
happened the 18th. DR.. Bass was man
of noble and chivalrous nature, passion
ately attached to his wife, and DR.
Bakers procrastination and delay in re-
gard to the exhibition of these letters
was exceedingly exasperating to him
when the fair name of his wife was at
stake; and DR.. Bakers conduct in this
matter was the cause of the attack by
DR.. Bass which woul veenrdVwa p. u

Port of Spain, Trinidad, March "a
Twelve natives were killed and sixty
wounded, many of them non -combatants
and women, during yesterdays rfoting
The government building was entirely
destroyed by the rioters and the police
barracks were damaged by fire and wa
ter.
The rioting had its origin in the OPP
position to the new ordinance which re-
duced the water allowance per head and
increased the water rate. The court
house was surrounded while the 1egisla-
tive council was in session discussing the
water ordinance. The mob broke through
the police lines and stoned the building
The rioters then demolished the contents
of the lower floor of the government
building and set fire to ii. All those at
tending the meeting were assailed with
missiles many persons being struck by
stones and bottles. The fire drove the
people from the building and aided by
a part of the local military force, they
defended their lives with rifles. The riot
ers then threatened to burn the business
portion of the town. The commander of
the British cruiser Pallas lying in the
harbor was informed of the serious sit
uation and he landed attachments of
blue jackets from the Pallas and the
torpedo boat destroyer Rocket with four
machine guns. Two hundred citizens were
armed and sworn in as special constabu-
laries. The sailors and volunteers rem

COAL COMPANIES ENJoINED.
To Prevent Their Continuing Combination to
Control Prices.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, March 24-Ten Indiana coal
companies and ten individual operators
we're restrained by Judge Kohlsaat in
the United States Circuit court to-day
from continuing their combination for
the regulation of coal prices and output.
The defendants were given until April
9Th to show cause why the order should
not be made permanent.
The corporations and individuals en-
joined are the same recently tried III

the prices of coal and restricting the
output in Illinois, this causing the coal
famine in Chicago last winter Judge

ground that the offense committed was
against the Federal law and not against
the statutes of Illinois. The injunction
granted will stand until further order
of the courts.

The Tar Heels are Beaten by|
Five to Three.
The Virglnia-Carolina League Formed at
Lynchburg- Greensboro the Only Caro-
lima Town Represented.

Chapel HILL N. c., March 24.-Carolina
went down in defeat before the sturdy
team from Lafayette here today. The
left hand twirler from Pennsylvania was
largely responsible for this result The
Tar Heels only found him for four hits
and these were scattered.
Lafayette was first up. A base on balls
and three beautiful singles, neatly
punched, netted them three runs. Caro-
lima scored in the fourth. In the seventh
Carr went to first on error by pitcher,
Green hunted and pitcher threw wild to
first base, allowing Carr to chase from
first to home Green going to second.
Cheshire, the little fellow from Tarboro,
in answer to the wild cheers Of Carolina
rooters hit a beautiful two-bagger, over
left felder's head, scoring Green. This
tied the score. A fly ball to right field
quickly thrown home, catching Cheshire
wrested away Cardinals chance of Win
ming. Lafayette, with single and three
bunts netted two more runs in the eighth.
Carolina was unable to cross the slate
in her ninth. The game was full of
crises throughout and was thoroughly in
teresting from the beginning to the end.
Holt and Cheshire deserve special men
ton, while Graham played the third bag
to perfection. He is developing into one
of the best third basemen on the South
ern collegiate diamonds. Hubley starred
for Lafayette at second, though their
whole team played we'll together.
