for the recent race troubles in the
South. In speaking Of the mat

This wave of lawlessness in
Georgia and other States has fol-
lowed upon the Presidents action
in forcing the race question into
the Chicago platform.
THE whole unhappy question
in the South has grown worse and
worse by the course of the Roose-

Vogel's minstrels, and it can be
truthfully stated that VOgel has
never put out better show than
that presented this year. This be-
ing the opening attraction the
house will doubtless be packed to

Manager Doyle has made some
changes and improvements in the
Auditorium during the summer,
which will be greatly appreciated
by the patrons. All the furnish

over, and the interior, as well as
the exterior Of the house, will pre-
sent more attractive appearance

The list of attractions that will
be seen at the Auditorium, though

the majority, or a return to the
unhappy conditions of the recon-
struction era.
"The entire country should rec
ognize that untold injury is being
done by our President, who has
disturbed the happiness of mil
lions Of citizens of both races
when they come together, produc-
ing by his attitude, increasing
crime by negroes and hideous
lawlessness by whites.
eff the President wishes to
open the door Of hope to the negro
so that the trustworthy ones
may participate in the govern
mental affairs Of the nation, he
should recognize that this menace
Of negro domination must be re-
moved.

About three weeks ago a young
man from Pt. Pleasant went to
GalIipolis. O., with the avowed in
tention Of organizing a lodge of
Eagles. or rather of securing char
ter members for a lodge that he
represented would be formed in
PIT. Pleasant. He secured the sig
natures Of twenty-six saloonists
and likewise FIVE dollars from each
Of the twenty-six, and that is the
last that has been heard from
him.
He stated that the lodge would
be initiated August ), but when
that date rolled around he sent

missioner Boyd for a preliminary
examination. Jacob Beaver. of
West Wheeling. a white deck
hand on the Bessie Smith. and Lee
WOOten, the prosecuting witness,
and Archison Dickinson. both col
ored deck hands, appeared as wit
neSSes.
After hearing the evidence in
the case. the Commissioner decid-
ed to commit Henderson, to Jail.

sum Of $500 for his appearance be-
fore the Federal grand jury on the
DIST Of September. Capt. Kraft.
of the Bessie Smith, was also pres
ent. but could not go On the de-
PENDANTS bond because he
kraft was a resident Of Ohio.
Capt. Kraft then called up Capt.

to go on Henderson, s bond. Hen

were also WOOten and Dickinson.
as witnesses. Jacob Beaver. hav-
ing given satisfactory ASSURANCE
for his appearance, was permitted
to go on his own recognizance.
What has made Wooten's con-
ditiOn much worse is the fact that
he was suffering from a loathsome
disease when elected from the
boat, and according to his story
was compelled to stand in the
mud for many hours.
If the charges are proven the
penalty will undoubtedly be quite
severe, from the fact that the case

the statutes bearing on offenses
committed on the lakes and rivers

Nothing has been heard Of it
since that time and investigation
by the wOuld-be Eagles revealed
the fact that none Of the TT.

about the formation Of a lodge

considerably worked up over the

day she asserted that John Peterson,
her husband, came into the house,
wrapped her up in blankets, saturated
her with gasoline, lit a match, set her
on fire and left her to die. Every
means of physicians and friends were
exhausted, but death came to end her
agony this afternoon
John Peterson, her husband, ana
Alex Adams were arrested. The lat
ter, after the coroner's inquest was
released. Although his coat and
shoes were burned very badly he
claimed to have been burned in a fire
box of the Atlantic Coast Line, about
the same time the awful tragedy here
occurred.
John Peterson, the husband. is still
held in custody due to the verdict of
the coronerS jury. This was that she
came to her death from burns received
at the hands of her husband, John

master general and at various times
secretary of the Indiana Senate, rep
resentative in Congress, first and sec
ond assistant postmaster general, and
assistant attorney general for the
postoffice department, died of paral-
ysiS at his home in this city today. He
was rs years old. Mr.. Tyner was
stricken with paralysis in uly, 1902,
and was never after that able to ac-
lively discharge his Official duties. He
was in very enfeebled condition
throughout the postal investigation,
during which his name conspicuously
figured and which finally resulted in
his Indictment by the grand jury His
trial last May, at which he was ac-
Quilted, was a heavy strain upon his
weakened vitality.
The sensational climax of Mr.. Ty-
ners official career occurred in April,
1908. when he was summarily remoV-
ed by Postmaster General Payne fol-
lowing the taking by Mrs. Tyner and
MS Barrett, of papers from the safe
in the office in the assistant attor-
ney general, of which Mr.. Tyner was
then the head.
Mr.. Tyner was i'll at home and the
