From the Bangor Neus.


4 request has been received at the executive
department from Judge Thomas OF Montgomery
Ala. relative TO the homicidal death rate In the
State Of Maine. Judge Thomas wrote that he
had understood that this death rate was lower
in the State OF Maine than In any other State In
the Union and he wished to get at the exact figures
Going back over the past decade. II appears that
the number OF homicdes In the State each year
has been as follows; 1892, three, including one
infantcidc 1903 one; 1894 six 1895 six 1885, eight
including two non residents killed on the high
seas 1897 four 1885, six 1900, nine; 1900 ten 1901
nine including one infan,lcide. and 1902. two.
This showing is a remarkably good one for a
State with 10000 population and the homiclda
death rate. as Judge Thomas suggests. Is prob.
ably lower In Maine than In any other State In the
Union II Is much lower here, In fact, than II was
a few years ago. For instance. going back thirty
years we md that In 1870 there were eleven homl
oides In Maine. seventeen In 1871, ten In 1872 ten
In 1879 nineteen In 1874 and eleven In 1875. Going
back little earlier to the period OF the civil war
there was still larger number Of murders In Maine
In 1880 there were ten homcides In Maine fourteen
In 1891, eighteen In 1862 twenty -four In 1895, and
twenty-five IN 1884. During these earlier periods
mentioned capital punishment prevailed In Maine
In 1870 the death penalty was abolished, 10 be
reestablished In 1888 and abolished again In 1851.

UNCLE SAM AFTER LYNCHERS.
Federal Court Indicts Men Who Killed .
Negro in Huntsville, Ala.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Oct. 24.-The United
States Grand Jury has indicted several
alleged members OF the mob that lynched
Horace Naples in Huntsville on Sept T.
In it's report to Judge Thomas G. Jones, the
Grand Jury expresses the opinion that
il Naples had been white man charged
with the killing OF a negro he would not
have been hanged by the mob
The Grand Jury, acting on the suggestion
OF Judge Jones in his charge Of two weeks
ago, finds that the mob was actuated by race
prejudice.
Continuing, the report says that the ac-
ton of the United States court in making
an investigation of this lynching may be
regarded as outside interference, but that
it is evident that something must be done
to stop the frequent lynching and out
breaks OF anarchy in this region. and that
people should regard the action Of the
United States court with favor to bring
mob law to an end.
The report says:
Punishment must be inflicted upon those
who participated in mobs. Our people
must sta I'D steadfast and firm for law and
order for without these there is no security
or protection for the life, character, person
or property of our children The white
people of this section feel that they owe
a duty to the negro race. The law must be
indicated order maintained and anarchy
punished"
Judge Jones addressed the Grand Jury
and said he was willing for the eighty-fve
millions of people in the United States
to pass judgment on the righteousness of
the Grand Jury's action.

KUROPATKIN'S DANGER.
Position OF the Two Armies rs Viewed
in Japanese Capital.
Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN,

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN,
TOXIC, Oct. 24-The Japan Mail states
that the active movements of the Japanese
armies ended on Oct 10. Gen. Sakharofs
report of the repeated repulse OF japanese
attacks on the night Of Oct. II is explained,
according to the Mail, by the exaggera-
tons natural TO a defeated commander,
who is therefore nervous. The forces men
toned by Gen. Sakharoff were only en-
gagged in making "Reminiscences.
The paper says that the present pro-
gramme of the Russians is to strengthen
their units in view Of an impending Jap
anese attack. Phey are massing their
troops, especially ON the right, where the
situation is really critical. Gen. Okus
left has considerably advanced and
threatens the railway and the Great Man
DARN road from Shahopu to Mukden,
Gen. Kuropatkin must strain every nerve
to oppose the Japanese advance. His left
is at Prennulupan, twenty-six miles east
OF the chief bridgehead Of the Hun River,
whereas his right is only five miles west
The natural line Of retreat OF the Russian
left is along the road to Fushan, twenty
seven miles east Of Mukden. Thus the
line is almost entirely to the side of the line
OF communication. II the Russian right
is forced eastward Mukden will be un-
covered and a large part Of the army
placed in jeopardy.
Apparently it would be more advanta-
