week. 1t Is an undisputed fact that
there is no better production Of Uncle
Toms Cabin" on the road today than

Yict pen in Georgia, are employed in
the scenes where the escaped slaves
are followed. and with their deep
mouthed baying and impressiveness to

IS PRACTICALLY IN
HANDS OF PENROSE
SEVERAL CANDIDATES FOR SEN
ATE FROM PENNSYLVANIA ARE
CONSIDERED FOR SUCCESSOR
TO MR.. QUAY.

Philadelphia, June 7.-Senator Penrose,
who is chairman of the republican state
committee, has been looked upon as a
leader since the death of Senator Quay,
and the naming of the new senator is
practically In his hands. Commissioner
Durham is the leader of the Philadelphia
organization and adviser of Senator Pen
rose.
Ex-Attorney General John p. Elkin of
Indiana county is candidate against
the field. Allegheny county has put forth
four candidates, two of whom are being
seriously considered. They are George T.
oliver, a millionaire, and William A.
tlynn, a leader in various political move
ments in Pittsburg
Rumor has it that State Chairman Pen
rose and Mr.. Durham are opposed to
Elkn, and that they look with favor upon
Mr.. Oliver.
Outside of Philadelphia and Allegheny
counties, Mr.. Elkin is quite strong. On
this account, his friends declare he should
be named for the vacant place.
Among those who called on Senator
Penrose today were Richard r. Quay,
chell president of the Mineworkers'
union.
Mr.. Quay said he called on personal
affairs. The nature of President Mitchell s.
business with the senator was not an
nounced, but 1t Is said he called to pro-
test against Mr.. Oliver being named for

VERY SECRETIVE
ABOUT SHOOTING
IMPOSSIBLE TotLEARN FULL DE-
TAILS OF SHOOTING OF NEGRO
PRISONER AT TUSkEGEE BY
DEPUTY LAMAR.

Tuskegee, June 7.-(Special.) Your cor
respondent has made a futile effort to
obtain the details of the shooting of a
Saturday night.
All the rumors agree in the following
partict lars: On Saturday the negro en-
ployes OF the Western railway had
picnic at Chehaw, five miles from here.
Deputy Sheriff George Lamar was tele-
rhoned for in the afternoon to quell some
disturbance. He arrested two negroes for
carrying concealed weapons. Leaving his
prisoners In charge Of some one else he
set out In the search Of another. One
Of the negroes who seems to have known
MIN, but whose name at least Lamar cam
not recall, spoke to Lamar who is said to
have returned the salutation with an
ilithet which angered the negro. The en-
ragged negro fired at Lamar three times
hitting i'm once in the right shoulder,
once in the rihgt arm and once in the
head The latter is only a scalp wound.
The two prisoners were landed in Jail
and Mr.. Lamar's wounds dressed and
bandaged. The negro who shot him es-
capped and has not yet been apprehended
After dark Mr.. Lamar went to the jail
FOR some unknown reason. One report
says one of the prisoners sent for him;
another is to the effect that he went for
the purpose OF learning the name of his
hssallant. He carried in his left hand
Wi0hester rifle. What took place at the
Jail cannot be ascertained, except that
Mr. H.amar shot through, the head enc of
the prisoners captured during the after
noon.
No inquest was held and as there were
NJ theses except the other prisoners
the facts cannot be learned. The negro
was buried Sunday.
