D. fitzpatrick, the wealthy young Ne
braskan found dead, shot through the
heart in his apartments yesterday, has
abandoned the theory of suicide, and
today called upon the police to investi-
gate the shooting on the possibility that
it might have been murder. The posi-
ton Of the revolver, the fact that Kill
patrick's clothing was not burned, and
the absence of any ascertainable cause
for suicide, led the coroner to say. he
believed the shooting to have been
either accidental or a murder.

Justice ID | Louisiana.

In the acquittalof the negro, Albert
Williams charged with the murder
Of Gus. N. Graut, a white man
prominently known in this part Of
the State, the fact 10 clearly exem-
pli6ed that there is no such thing
% q law for the white men aud a
separate law for the negro in this
State. Albert Williams was tried
by . Jury Of twelve white man, who
acted according to the law aud
evidence to the best OF their ability,
regardless Of the color OF the man y
skin.
The evidence seems to have been
very much in the negro's favor, and
this, coupled with the charge OF
Judge Hall, that the negro had as
much right in the swamp as Grant
and as much right to protect him
self, served to make the jury bring
in the verdic os acqnittal.

SAM JONES ON NEW GALVESTON

In ono Of his letters to the At
lanta Journal Sam Jones says o
Gnivcstoni
81 tell ypu there's life IN the old
land yet, Really, Galveston is n
more hentiful city to-day then ever.
1t is ono of the greatest scnportS in
America. aud ! am told the largest
cotton seaport in the world The
Southcru Pacific has brought all
their ocean steamships from New
York to Galveston They former
" came from Naw York to New
Orleans, The Southern Pacific
railroad is spending two millions
of dollars on their wharf.
The things that will bring con.
iidenco aud promote the growth Of
Galveston is the sea wall they arc
now building about half around
the city, covering the southern and
western portions Of the city that
arc exposed to tho storms and
tides and winds from the gulf. |
was amazed as I looked upon that
sea wall. They first drive down
thirty feet piles or logs into the
sand on the beach Four rows Of
each, covering width of abont 1S|
feet, thon inside of the outside
rows Of piles they put down 4s2
timbers twenty feot aud then break
the creaks in these timbers with
2xl4 timbers, aud then they begin
to bed with cement and crushed to
rock compound, they build II up|
nearly II feet high. 1t Is II feet
at the base. It is carried up nearly
straight on tho inside, the outside,
Ia concavo. The tides have never
gone more then II foet high. This
wall is II feet high with copcayc,
throwing the water back us il dashcs
against the walls. Outside Of the |
walls they are packing thousands
OF loads Of granite rock, weighing |
from Il thousand pounds to five tons.
They are building that wall 80 that
it will stay in spite Of wind aud
aud tide. It will be about
three miles long when the wall
is finished. then they will bank
sand behind it on the inaer side in
n gradual slope for sixty feet aud
make n beautiful driveway through
Then Galveston can lie down aud
sleep in safety amidst the most ter
fible storms at sea The city has
voted aud sold bonds to tho amount
of n million aud u half dollars for
constructing this wall A million
dollars Of the bonds were taken bv
he citizens OF Galveston ut par.
This il wise and good Investment
For the city, nnd | believe that IN
Atty years from now Galveston
will see that her investment in tho
sea wall was the best she ever
made. ! congratulate them on
heir courage, and enterprise md
,uld them that the city that could
i've through what they had lived
through was immortal Galveston
1as more pluck and energy and life
o. day than ever before, and she
will go on TO greater growth aud
wider commercial influence.

whenever the trusts wants any.

Whenever the trusts wants any
thing they begin working in the
other direction. They wanted the
Elkins bill passed at the last ses-
sion Of Congress, and that is why
they sent those kilograms to the
Senate asking that 1t be killed.
They knew that would do the trick.
That is why, at this time, they are
giving out the impression that
they do not want Roosevelt noini-
mated or elected. They know tho
people will give them what they do
not want. Watch the game.
