NOISE STOPS BAND CONCERT.
Din of Celebration Puts Stop to Friday
Nioht Concert.

AS noise makers the members of the
Fifty third band could play nothing
better than a poor second to the score
of cane artists who began to celebrate
the Fourth in earnest on Friday night,
and as a result after playing two or
three numbers Of the regular weekly
program the concert was given up.
The noise Of the explosions made by
the dynamite canes was such that the
players themselves could not hear their
own instruments, and it was deemed
best to stop rather than attempt to
continue under such difficulties Next
weeks program will be given on
Wednesday evening instead of Friday
as heretofore.

fellows. The shooting occurred in the
yard of the Bassett house. Bassett was
arrested on the charge of homicide, ad-
mitted his guilt, and was released on
bail.
Clark called at cobblers shop in a barn
in the rear of the Bassett house and Bas-
sett ordered him to leave the yard The
boys became envolved in an alteration and
Clark left. He returned for the shoes an
hour or two later with two friends, and
this time Bassett, who apparently was
on the watch, became so angry that he
told them that If they did not get out he
would shoot them. Becoming still further
enraged at their lingering in the yard, he
went into the house and reappeared with
his fathers shotgun which was unloaded.
He returned to the house .and soon reap

He thrust two of them into the barrels of
the gun, and pointing the weapon at
top of Clark head was blown off. Seeing

JURY COULD NOT AGREE
STATE SENATOR FRANK ii. FARRIs
GIVEN ONE MORE CHANCE.
Charged with Bribery-His Next Trial
Set for December 1-HOw the
Jury stood.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. THE
jury before which State Senator Frank ii.
Farris was tried on charge of bribery in
connection with alum legislation came into
court at 10 o'clock and reported that 1t had
failed to agree. The judge thereupon dis
charged the jury from further service. The
foreman reported that the jury stood eight
for conviction and four for acquittal. This
necessitates a new trial. The jury had
been out exactly sixteen and one-half hours.
Senator Farris was the first of the Indicted
members of the Legislature TO be tried on
charges OF bribery. He was tried on
direct charge of receiving $1,000 and dis
tributing it among seven members Of the
common criminal Jurisprudence for holding
up the bill introduced 10 amend the law
prohibiting the use OF alum in baking pow
GerS. This money, the testimony went to
York. who was a representative OF the bak-
ing powder trust, and was alleged to have
been handed to the accused by former Lieu
tenant Governor John A. Lee. This was the
ness for the State A letter purporting to
have been written by Lee to Kelley, re-
turning the 5000, was presented as evil
dence, but Lee denied the authority of ii.
Foreman Ross said: THE four men who
voted for acquittal were Peter Lauf. Ben
Pringer, james Clark and Benjamin Lock-
EFT. Every one of the four agreed that he
thought Farris guilty, but he felt that under
the Instructions the testimony was not suffi-
GENTLY strong to permit his conscience TO
vote that way. They felt that there was
reasonable doubt of guilt

POLICE ARREST NEGROES WITH
TICKETS IN THEIR POSSESSION.
Detectives Find Others with Policy
Slips in Their Pockets, but Fail
to Make Arrests.

Detectives Gerber and Lancaster yester-
day uneartlied a policy game and as re-
suit Sandy Johnson, well-known pohce
character, and Nat Robertson, No. 525 Will
lard street, both colored, were landed be-
hind the bars of the police station on

living at No. 635 East Court street, by BIZ
cyclemen Lowe and Bernauer on charge
of stealing a bicycle. The boy was searched
in the turkeys Office and in his pockets
several policy tickets were found. He was
questioned by the detectives and admitted
that he was selling the tickets and told

Der, who met them every noon in a shed in
the rear of bob" Duncan's house. on
Blake street, between Walnut and North
streets, where they had sale of the
tickets.
The detectives at once went to the shed,
where they found Johnson and Robertson
enjoying a game of cards. They searched
the men and found q number of tickets in
their pockets, and which they admitted
they were selling. Neither Sanders nor
Duncan arrested yesterday, although
they were said TO be the operators or the
game, but ii was said at the police station

nau-Varilla. the new republic of Panama's
representative, arrived here late last night

he brought with him credentials and full
powers as minister plcnipotentiary and en-
voy extraordinary OF the republic of PAN

morrow and inform him that he is ready
and empowered to begin canal negotia-
tions Immediately. He thinks the people
of Panama will vote the new president
full powers to ratify a treaty at once.
Mr.. Varilla said: First let me correct
the impression that / am an agent of the
Panama Canal Company 1t is true that
I chief engineer of the Panama canal
on the isthmus during my association with
the old Panama Canal Company from 1884
to 1889. 1 never was an on1cial OF the new
company In any capacity. Far from rep
resenting this company, my relations with
IL are anything but friendly. The history
of my connection with the Panama Ques-
tion since 1889 is that OF soldier to his
flag. / have shared neither my time nor
my efforts nor my money TO vindicate this
great and generous conception of the SLAM
ders under which 1T has succumbed. I
have concentrated my life and eAdeavors
TO the triumph of an idea for which France
has shed so much blood and rightly
pended so much money 1 pity the people
whose hearts attach only mercenary causes
to human actions, and their opinions are
Indifferent to me They do not rise 10 the
level Of my contempt. Nevertheless / am
bound to the republic represent.
You can say for me-" added the minister
with great earnestness, mot only that the
isthmian people want canal, but that they
will have one and that they will readily
grant every facility 10 the United States to
complete a treaty and construct the canal.
/ shall take up the matter with the secre-
tary of state as soon as / see him"
Following is the text of the new minister's
credentials:

ernment names you envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary TO the govern
ment OF the United States with full powers
to conduct political and financial negotia-
tions"

"HOODOO" MAN ARRESTED
WILLIAM GOULD. OF SOUTH CARO-
LIMA, is In THE TOLLS.
Colored Man Says He Has Charms
Potent Enough to Save Him from
Wrath of Judge.

William Gould. negro detective. for he
wore detectives badge. was arrested last
night by Patrolmen Tomlinson and Panse
and slated at the police station on a charge
Of lettering and he will be held pending an
investigation of several crooked deals in
which he is said to have been implicated.
Gould halls from Burford. s. c., and claims
that he is in Indianapolis in search of a
much-wanted Smith, who several months
ago murdered a white woman in Sumter,
S. c. He came here, he says, four days
ago, the police department of Sumter pay
ing his expenses. His plan of detective
work, according to his story, is a unique
one.
He started from South Carolina several
weeks ago and went to Chicago, where he
had located his man through a number of
"hoodoos with which he intended to cast
a "spell'' over his victim. On arriving In
come to Indianapolis. and Gould, the wiz
ard detective, master of magic and hoodoo
DOCTOR boarded a train for this city. Arriv-
ing here, he at once proceeded to demon
strate his ability TO cast spells over the
colored race.
'.All the Liggers believe in hoodoo magic"
said Gould last might You see, when L
has a man spotted in a town L goes to his
home and tells his wife'S fortune, and
mentions the fact that her husband is in
trouble. What / don't tell her she tells me,
and by her l gets line on my man. Then
l tells him tnat for a little sum of money
1 viii give him hoodoo bag that will keep
him from being arrested. When he pays
me for the bag L gives it to him and tells
him to go to a certain corner with IL on a
certain hour of night, and there has the
police or sheriff meet him and arrest him
on the spot"
This was the story told by Gould about
his method of locating and capturing Grim
inals, but he regrets the fact, he says, that
he failed to make himself known TO the
police before attempting to do any detec-
tive work in this city. In his grip he had a
collection of trinkets. Strings of cloth
sewed to resemble snakes to which were
attached balls of hair, bottles filled with
pins and tacks, several horse shoes, decks
of cards and other articles that would mys-
tify old Mr.. Hoodoo himself were exhibited
from his little valise The charms which
he would sell to his victims were little cot
ton bags filled with bits of flannel and
horse hair. These bags were lucky charms,
could come to the wearer of them unless
ii was by his wish design. A number of
colored citizens, it is said, have been swim
died out of their pocket money by the ne
gro detective, who had a glib tongue and
a rather sleek appearance. He will be given
a hearing In the Police Court tomorrow
morning and in his trial his lucky charms
will he tested against Judge Whallon
Gould, in speaking of his trial, said: ''Ill
get out of this all right because / has one
charm that will work on all judges where
the common ones will only work on police
men and common people"

at the police station on charges of va grancy
The men have been begging on the streets
for several days. stopping people and ask
ing for assistance. explaining that their
reasons for asking aid were scalds and burns
on their chests and arms. They would offer
to exhibit their wounds and tried in every
way to work upon the sympathies OF the
people.
AT the police station last night IL was said
that the men carried bottles OF acid which
they dropped on their chests and arms, the
acid eating into the flesh and giving the
appearance of a burn or a scald. They are
known by the detectives. il is said, as men
with police records and their bonds were
placed at 500 to insure their retention in the
city Jail until the Bertillon measurements
could be gone over to see If they are not
wanted In other cities for crimes. In case
they are not wanted any place else they will
