MURDER IN BOWLING ALLEY.
Cmivers1ty of Pennsylvania Club
 Watchman Killed.

Cm1vePs1ty of PemnsyIvnnfa C1ub
 Watchman Killed.
 PHILADELPHIA, April II. John Thomas, the night watchman at the Houston club of the University of Pennsylvania, which is situated on the campus in the heart of the university's group of buildings, was brutally mur dered last night on the bowling alleys in the basement of the clubhouse. The motive Is believed to have been rob bery, and two hours after the murder was discovered negro was arrested on suspicion.
 Houston hall is closed at o'clock on Sunday evening. Shortly after that hour a student in passing the hall, no- ticed that it had not been closed and < entered the building As he did so he heard groans in the basement. He summoned assistance from the univer- sity hospital nearby, and the watch man, who was about sixty mine years of age, was found lying across one of the bowling alleys. The right side of his head was crushed in, one ear was partly cut off, and one finger was sew cred from his left hand. The man was dead. One of the watchman's pockets was turned inside out. Near the body were found two chisels and an andiron. Blood was spattered. over the alley and on several of the bowling balls. A stand where books and stationery are sold just outside the bowling alleys showed evidences of a struggle, part of the iron grillwork surrounding the stand having been torn down.
 A thorough search of the building was made. Under cushion in a cozy corner on the main floor a blood stained hatchet was found. Trails of blood led from the alleys to this spot and also to the bathroom on the second story, where blood stained towels were also found
 The police after hasty examination came to the conclusion that the aged watchman surprised a robber at work, probably negro. E
 A general alarm was sent to all po- lice stations to arrest all coIored men with blood on their clothes or who may have received hatchet wounds. Two hours after the discovery of the crime a negro was taken into custody in one of the slum districts of the city. He had cuts on his hands and said he had received them in a fall .- Cooking Main Tn FfnkertOn's Barn. NEW YORK, April Il. Captain White of the Bergen street station, Brooklyn, at the head of squad of pohce, raided the private stable of Rob- ert A, Pinkerton, head of the Pinker- ton detective agency, early in the morning, interrupting a cooking main which had already cest the lives of four birds. Another battle between feathered champions was on, when the police burst into the stable, and there were twenty birds waiting their turn to be tossed into the pit. Thirty-two ] arrests were made in the raid, and this number did not represent the total of those in attendance upon the main, for a dozen or so spectators succeeded in breaking through the lines of the police and making their escape.

DrHE WIZARD OF oz."

This brilliant spectacle, whose fame fhas reached here, previous to its first Waterbury presentation at Polls to- morrow evening, is not a musical com edy of the kind now popular, nor is it fan extravaganza of the old-fashioned 'fEype which used to be yariously char 'lacterized as burlesque or Christmas |lpantomime, but 1t is said to be happy combination of aI-these piquant enter tainments with additional frills for supposed good measure. The story is IdeTived from a modern fairy tale. Rudely blown away by & terrific cy- clone little Dorothy, the heroine, finds herself in the realms of '"The Wizard ! Tof 0z,'' where she encounters two strange fellows, a &carecrow and tin woodchopper. The incidental plot con- Ecerns the efforts of the dethroned |lruler. Pastoria. to regain his crown ifrom the wizard, and incidentally Dor I 0thy's desire to secure some sort of RItransportatiop back to her home in Kansas. A good fairy whose gifts of a ring to Dorothy brings the scarecrow l to life, and restores tl-e tin woodman's
 joints to their former 1ubricity, is a :. potential figure in tro story, and so, ] too, are the hosts of Munchkin youths and maids, human poppy flowers, pert pierrots, guards of the Emerald City, land beautiful inhabitants of dream

WHERE GREAT BRITAIN SEEKS
TO GROW IT'S OWN COTTON
Board of Trade Report Upon the Condition of the
Industry.

London, April 2S.-The Board of
Trade has issued report on cotton
cultivation in the British empire and
Egypt especially compiled by Wynd-
ham R. Dunstan, director of the I'M
perial Institute.
In general terms Mr.. Dunstan con-
siders that the cotton area of India,
especially Burmah, will be increased,
although as the bulk of Indian cotton
is not suitable for the British market,
the problem in that country is the pos
sibility of cultivating a longer staple.
He looks to little extension of the pro-
duction in Egypt, but dilates on the
favorable prospects of the Soudan,
where 1.-THE area open for planting cot
ton is ten times as great as in Egypt"
The report anticipates. the gradual
development of cotton cultivation in
Nigeria, Rhodesia and other African
protectorates, and the partial revival
of its production in the West Indies.
Mr.. Dunstan points out the fact that
The Savannah morning news., 1904-04-24

platform, favoring state regulation of
corpora tions chartered by states.
Il think that has reference to cor
porations in New York, and not to any
national question" he said.
When asked about the declaration in
the platform in favor of free raw ma
teral, Mr.. Bacon said:
I'VE ought to take a position in favor
of a reduction of the tariff all along
the line. but always bear in mind that
it takes a great deal Of money TO run
this Government There cannot neces-
sarily be any great reduction of the
tariff. If it protects industries that is
mere incident. 1t will not do to sin
gle out raw materials. 1t will not
meet with favor. If prices are to be
lowered as the result of lowering du-
ties the small purchaser must get the
same benefit that the manufacturer
gets. The benefit and the burden must
be distributed evenly all around.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-04-24

the British cotton industry is almost
entirely dependent on the United
States for supplies. largely due to the
deterioration of Indian cotton, the re-
placement of cotton by SUI
gar cane growing in the West
Indies and the continuous i'm
provement in the quality and
fibre produced in the United States.
He considers the shortage of American
supplies in this country to be perma-
nent, as the extension of manufacture
in the United States will entail a great
er home consumption.
Emphasizing the consequent impor-
lance of establishing new sources of
supply, Mr.. Dunstan declares that the
paramount position of the United
States in cotton cultivation is largely
due to the operations of the well or
ganized and splendidly equipped ex-
pertinent stations of the Department
of Agriculture" and considers that the
best means of helping the British colo
MES to compete with the United States
in the cultivation of cotton would be
to provide them with equally as good
means of scientific experiment and
advice.
