HAYWOOD CLAIMS THAT HE
SHOT IN SELF-DEFENSE.
Statement Issued by His Consul De-
clarcs That Skinner knocked Him
Dow Before He Drew Pistol.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Raleigh. N. c.. Feb. 3.-Consul for Ernest
Haywood. who killed Ludlow Skinner this
afternoon, gave out the following statement
for publications:
A counse for Mr.. Ernest Haywood, we
think It proper that we make this state
ment. The accounts of the unfortunate oc-
currence OF Saturday afternoon are incom-
plete and inaccurate.
"Mr. Haywood did not shoot from be-
hind, nor did he shoot al unsuspecting
man. On the contrary. there had been a
personal alteration between him and the
deceased. begun by Mrs. Skinner and in
which Mr.. Skinner struck Mr.. Haywood
first and knocked him down. Both men
then reached for their pistols. and Mr..
Haywood fired first. not having struck a
blow. These facts will be proven by men
of the highest character. who were eye
witnesses.

The foregoing table Of the bacteria
found in st. Louis water was offered in
evidence by Doctor Armand Ravold. bacte-
biologist, before the Chicago Drainage Canal
Commission in session at the Southern Hotel
yesterday.
While 1t has been Shown under oath that
some of the water from the illinois River
contains as many as 3o.CUJ,t0O microbes in
sixteen or twenty drops. Une cuaic cent?
meter, this high rate only Detained above
Lockport. Tee average number in the
Mississippi at Chain OF Rocks is about as
many thousand, the aggregates huctua;ing
from n few thousand TO more than a mir
lion, according to the stage of the river.
That the number OF bacteria is reduced
the city's settling basins, was accepted by
experts present at the hearing as expsain-
ing why the average health in st. Louis
is still exceptionally good, despite the fact
that the typhoid fever rate has increased
800 per cent since the drainage canal was
opened In 1g0.
".Our reservoir system saves tho city,"
said Doctor Ravold.
He explained that Of the average 25oo
drops of water drunk by ST. Louis persons,
most OF the little germs are healthy.
Once in a while a harmful mite IS discov,
cred, and very often the mite can be traced
to Chicago sewage, 1t is said.
AS has been already stated in The Repub-
lie. the whole point of the inquiry is wneth-
city, the claim of the Illinois authorities
being that the stream purites itself before
it reaches this vicinity.
LAKE MICHIGAN GERMS.
According to microscopic tests, the results
of which were embraced in the mass of
scientific testimony offered by Doctor
Ravold yesterday. some OF the germs in st.
Louis water come erect from Lake Michi-
gan. 49,. -
These tests revealed the, fifty or sixty
classes of mi-cro-organisns found in Lake
Michigan, and at various points down to
Chain of Rocks. and at the city main on
Market street.
Peculiar microbes. which inhabit the lake
at Chicago, and are not bred in the rivers,
were discovered.
These organisms. 1t was stated. are of 4
peculiarly delicate character, not near SO
long-iived as the bacillus which produces
typhoid fever. The latter can live for twen-
ty-three days in a block of ice. and from
forty to sixty days in any kind of water.
The deduction Is that IL the delicate micro
organisms can travel to st. Louis and ar
rive here in a healthy state land they are
not harmfuD, the typhoid bacillus and other
germs which come along in the same water
with the sewage are robust enough to be
aggressive at times.
So far. Doctor Ravold has confined his
testimony to bare statements of the various
forms of bacteria found in the water. He
will be on the stand probably the remainder
of the week. and will give q review of the
analyses with a deduction therefrom.
The motion made by Attorney General
Crow for a continuance of the Missouri side
of the hearing will come before the Supreme
Court at Washington on Thursday.

Committees of Trainmen and Con
ductors Confer With Gener-
al Manager c. S. Clark.
TO PRESENT new SCHEDULE.
Believed That Wabash Poll May
Not Be Completed Before
the End of the
Week.

At a conference yesterday between c. S.
Clark. general manager of the Mobile and
Ohio, and the committee of trainmen and
conductors Of the Mobile and Ohio. 1t was
agreed that the committees should act joint
ly in presenting a new wage schedule to
Horace Clark. superintendent Of transpor-
tation, with offices at Mobile.
The new schedule will embody a demand
for 4 wage increase approXimating that
granted by the ST. Louis lines. 1t will also
contain requests for changes in certain
rules objected to by the trainmen and con-
ductors.
About 600 trainmen and conductors are
employed by the Mobile and Ohio.
The committees have been In the city for
some time. awaiting Mr.. Clark, who has
been in Mobile, settling the emand of the
engineers Of the road.
Inc chief cause of the delay IS said 10
be that Mr.. Clark was under the impress
sion that the committees desired to present
the new schedule to him jointly. instead of
separately, as has been customary with the
Mobile and Ohio for a number of years.
1t was stated that, after the committees
had explained the situation, he readily
agreed TO their meeting MIR. Horace Clark
jointly, and the indications are that the
new schedule will be agreed upon with but
little difficulty.
Members OF the Wabash railroad and
trainmen's committees are busily engaged
In getting the poll on the demand for an
increase over the entire system, but it is
] not expected that they will be in before
I the latter part Of this week.
From an authoritative source II Is learned
that the members have been instructed to
get the vote Of every fremen. conductor
and trainman on the system, in which case
$50 votes will be cast.
The method of procedure is to present a
statement to the voter. which contains an
account of the conference between Presi-
dent Ramsey and the members of the
committee. At the end OF the statement
tne question on which the vote is polled. the
voter votes as he desires. signing his name
and the number of his lodge. This he places
the committeeman.
In this way no indic ton of how the vote
Is going can be learned.
It Is claimed by the members Of the COM
mittees in ST. Louis that there is a good
chance OF the demand for an increase over
the entire system being Endorsed.
