meeting begun here today ~ the Amer
lean Association OF General Passenger
and Ticket Agents adjourns the pub
lie will be informed Just what it will
cost il railroad fare to visit the st.
Louis worlds fair this SUMMER. A
few weeks since it looked as though
the railroad in resentment to the ac-
ton Of the 81. Louis city authorities
in refusing to guarantee them the
desired protection against the opera
tion OF ticket scalpers, would decline
to do their Share toward inducing tne
public to visit The exposition. But
the announcement from the authori
ties that they will pass municipal laws
making it practically Impossible for
INSCRIPTIONS scalpers to do business
IN St. LoGis during tie exl osition per
iOd there has come a similar change
OF front on the part Of the railroads.
1t is now authJritauYely announced
that the roads Will unite in making
Reasonable rates. They are already
making elaborate preparations to han
die an enormous trs nc during the sea
son, and tn largs syste.ns in partic-
ular VIII present every inducement to
attract pcOl4e 10 the fair.

brated his forty-ffth birthday today

sary was carried out without curtail'
ment. During the course of the morn
ing the emperor and the imperial fam
lily attended services in the chappel
of the castle. Among the invited guests
were the members Of the diplomatic
corps and the imperial and Prussian
cabinet ministers. The capital was en-
fete in celebration Of the day and in

MAY NAME
PRESIDENT
Board of Trade Will Hold
an Important Meeting
Today
THE PLACE is HARD TO FILL.
Not Known Who Will be Elected to
the PIace-committee Met Yetser-
day But Did Not Succeed in
Selecting Man.
THE PLACE is HARD TO FILL

The board of trade will hold its
regular weekly meeting at the city hal
this morning, and the most important
matter to be disposed of will be the
election of a president.
Just who will be named for the place
is not known, and the election may
have to be deferred until the next
meeting. 1t seems rather lard task
to secure some good, energetic citi
zen to accept the place land this is the
only kind that will be named.
A committee appointed at the last
meeting to suggest the name of some
one, held meeting yesterday after
noon, but it is understood that they
did not succeed in selecting a candi
date to be offered today.
The fact of the matter is no one de.
sires the place for the simple reason
that the business men of the city gen
orally do not manifest enough interest
IN tne DOafd tQ attend The meetings
and often there are not enough mem
bers present to form a quorum. And
again, the work of the board is al
ways left to the president and secre
tary, who receive but little assistance
from the other members, the dues are
not paid regularly, and the presidency
of the organization is by no means
pleasant office.
However, it is earnestly hoped that
some enterprising citizen will be elect
ed, and that hereafter our business
men will take more interest in the
commercial body, and good work fol
the city is sure to be the result.
Every member of the board is ur
gently requested to De present today

MURDER is
THE CHARGE.
49,
Pearl Pepper Bound Over
for Killing Her Hus-
band
CROWDED THE COURT HOUSE
Negroes Were Much Interested in the
Trail of the Case and Judqe Lam
bright Adjourned to Superior
Court Room.
CROWDED THE COURT HOUSE

Pearl Pepper, the negro woman who
is charged with the murder of her hus
band, the negro Tully Pepper. wbc
died from pistol wounds last week
was given a preliminary heal
ing before Justice of the Peace
Lambright yesterday afternoon and
was bound over to the superior court
on the charge of murder.
On account of the large number OF
negroes who desired to hear the case
Judge Lambright adjourned from his
office to the superior court room, and
the capacity of that room was taxed
by the large number Of interested col
ored people who were anxious to hear
the case argued.
This case has attr cted considerable
attention, owing to fact that both
the prize cipals are yell known. The
negro Pepper claim up TO his death
tlat he accidental. shot himself, but
this statement was ret believed as one
Of the bullets enter his oack ari it
would have been aln )st impossible for
MIN to have fired tie shot.
The evidence yesterday was to the
effect that on several occasions the
woman h2d threatened the life Of her
husband, and one time did snap a
pistol at him several times. She en-
joyed the reputation of being rather
a dangerous character, and the wit
nesses on the stand yesterday all
seemed to be of the opinion that she
murdered the man.
The case will be heard at the coming
session of the suDerior court.

FISHERMEN ENTER COMPLAINT,
Are Mad Because Council Raised the
License,

Are Mad Because Council Raised the
License,
The fish peddlers Of Brunswick are
mad. They do not think council should
have increased the license from IS to
SO, and from all accounts it seems
that the license was raised under
misconstruction OF petition filed by
Thurlow, the Grand street fish deal
er.
Mr.. Thurlow, it seems. pet1tioned
council to stop altogether the peddling
of fish and make brunswick fish
market, but to News reporter yes
teruay he stated that he did not in
tend nor did his petition ask that
higher license be placed on the fish
dealers.
II was his idea for council not TO
allow any fisherman 10 peddie hsh
thinking that they would all unen rent
a small place and have a regular fish
market, and he regrets tnat the license
was raised.
The fishermen claim that they have
been tre4led WRONG, anu one or tWo
Will hardly be able TO pay the SlO
license

Bathing Child Before Hearth.
Albany, Ca, Jan. 27.-Mrs C. O.
Brooks, we'll known lady of this
city was severely burned today at
her home and owes her life to- the
prompt assistance of her sister. Mrs.
Brooks was seated before a blazing
fire bathing her 4,months-old baby. In
some manner her dress was ignited,
and she did not realize her danger
till the flames had swept up to the
back of ner head.
Her first thought was of her baby,
and it was promptly placed where the
flames could not reach it. 1t was not
injured.
Miss May Douglas, OF Missouri, Mrs.
Brooks sister was in the room, and
as the result of her efforts, the flames
were extiAguished before Mrs. Brooks
was burned to death. Her burns are
very severe, however, covering her
back and hands.

Tells Russia to Answer
Her Note, and Answer
Quickly
OR JAPAN WILL FIGHT
Public Sentiment in Japan Favors
Immediate Declaration of War
Unless Russia Immediately
Yields on the Questions. 81?

Toxic, Jan. 27-The Japanese gov
eminent has Automatically intimated
to Baron De Rosen, the Russian minis
ter, that an early response Is desired
to Japan's recent note to Russia.
1t is calculated here that the Japa.
nese note reached the Russian cabi,
net on the afternoon of January Is.
and it is felt that sufficient time has
elapsed for its consideration and the
preparation Of a response.
The japanese government is con-
scious of the possible necessities of
the military and naval situation and Is
unwilling to permit evasion ard de-
lays which are designed to gain time.
The future course of the japanese
government is a carefully guarded se-
cret. The length OF time that Japan
is prepared to await the pleasure of
bic that it has been determined to act
decisively within a few days. The
popular temper has long opposed fur
ther delay
While many objected to Japan's TAX
ing the initiative majority would
now welcome the issuance of a brief
ultimatum and declaration of war,
If the former should prove Ineffective.
Some outside opinion here inclines to
the belief that the activity of the jap
anese will be limited to the seizure
of Korea, which enterprise 1t Is
thought Russia would not oppose.
The Japanese government proceeds
with absolute secrecy, and the people
OF Japan are not even informed of the
exact nature of the demands made on
Russia.
The cabinet and eldeS statesmen
conferred for an extended period to-
day. They discussed the financial pro-
gram in the event of hOstilities. The
Japanese financiers in general are Of
fering very generous assistance and
| it is now luly evident that the govern
ment Will be enabled to raise an enor-
nous sum Of money at home without
having to place dependence on bor-
rowing from abroad.
/ RUSSIA HOPES CHINA
WON'T REMAIN NEUTRAL.
St Petersburg, Jan. 27-Referring
to the report of the intention Of Chi
ma to remain neutral in case of war
between Russia and Japan, the Vie
domOsti Says:
"a direct declaration OF war by
China would be uch preferable to du-
bious neutrality, compelling Russia to
take tho same precautions as il war
time without permitting an evaIon of
Chinese territory"
If war $ declared, 4ee Viodomasti
further asserts, the question of Man
churia could be settcd forever by its
annexation as a conquered country"

LUMsERMEN BURN TO DEATH

Triton. Ga, Jan. 27-Two negroes
were burned to death last night in the
quarters of the Hart Lumber Com

wick and Western division of the At
lantic Coast Line.
The shanty in which the negroes
were sleeping was burned and their
bodies charred to criap. As no one
Knew Of the fire until the shanty was
gone, it is not known how it originated
but it is supposed the two men were
intoxicated and went to sleep before
the fire and that in some way their
clothing or the floor of the shanty
caught. From the position Of the char
red bodies it is evident they had
made no attempt to escape.
No inquest was held as there was
nothing to- warrant suspicion of foul
play,
