MISS HOPPER LOSES SUIT.
Mono Of Late Alex Dunsmuir's For
tune for Her.


Victoria, B. C.-Judge Drake has
handed down judgment with costs in
favor of the defendant in the celebrat-
ed case which Edna Wallace Hooper
brought against ex-Premier Dunsmuir.
The judge holds that, as Mrs. Hoop
er's mother did not disaffirm Alex
Dunsmuir's deed to James during her
lifetime, her heirs can not do 80 now.
He further says the evidence Of the
prosecution to show the excessive
drinking habits of Alex Dunsmuir is
unsupported except by evidence of
bellboys and bartenders, and was re-
futed by reputable business men.
Judge Drake says he places little
reliance on the medical evidence. AS
is usual with such witnesses tLey were
not impartial and strove to impose
their views on the court. The judge
concludes that in his opinion Alex
Dunsmuir had not alcoholic dementia.
He finds there is no evidence to sup
port the contention of plaintiff that
undue influence was used by James
Dunsmuir on his brother to secure a
will in favor of the former. He also
expresses his belief that neither was
Mrs. Alex Dunsmuir induced by de-
fendant to execute the deed. Judge
Drake is satisfied that Alex Dunsmuir
was of sound and disposlng mind when
the will was executed.

WILL FOLLOW DEWEY'S IDEA
Heavy Fighting Ships for the Navy
will be Ordered.


Admiral Dewey's suggestion in favor
of heavy fighting ships for the navy
prevailed with the house COM
mittee on naval affairs, over the rec
ommendation Of the general board,
submitted by Secretary Moody. The
naval al preparation bill was complet-
ed by the committee after hearing
granted Admiral Dewey. 1t carried
an aggregate appropriation Of $95, 900,
900. The ships authorized are one
battle ship, two armored cruisers,
three scout cruisers and two squadron
colliers. The appropriation of $780,
600 made last year for two submarines
was leappropriated, the boats to be
purchased in the discretion OF the Sec
retary of the navy. This building pro-
gram gives total of $4,000 tons Of
heavy fighting ships, as compared
with SO 900 tons last year. The heavy
construction provided will cost $21,
100000, while the lighter construction
will bring the cost OF the building pro-
gram up to 2S,O000,00. Provision
was made for an armor plate factory
to cost 81 900, 900, which the secretary
of the navy is authorized TO construct
in case he can not secure the armor
from private sources at reasonable
price. An additional 5000 men is au-
thorized to the personnel of tho navy.

NEGROES BURNED At STAKE
REVENGE BY 1000 PEOPLE FOR
MURDER OF JAS. EASTLAND.
He Was a Prominent White Planter
Living Near DoddsviIle, Miss.-End-
ing of Tragedy Which Cost Eight
Lives-Posses With Boodhounds
Have Long Chase.

Doddsville, Miss, Feb. S.-Luther
burned at the stake here by mob
of over 1000 persons for the killing
of James Eastland, a prominent white
planter, and John Carr, negro, on
Wednesday at the Eastland plantation,
two miles from this city. The burning
of Holbert and his wife closes a trag-
edy which has cost eight lives, has
engaged 200 men and two packs Of
bloodhounds in a four days chase
across four counties and has stirred
this section of Mississippi almost to
frenzy.
Following are the dead:
Luther Holbert and wife, negroes,
burned at the stake by a mob.
James Eastland, white, planter, kill
ed by Holbert.
John Carr, negro, killed by Holbert.
John Winters, negro, killed by last
land.
Three unknown negroes, killed by
posses.
The killing of Eastland, Carr and
Winters occurred Wednesday at East
lands plantation. Holbert and Win
ters were in Carr's cabin, when East
land entered and ordered Holbert to
leave the plantation. A difficulty en-
sued, in which it is alleged that Hol-
bert opened fire on Eastland, fatally
wounding him and killing Carr. East
land returned the ire and killed Win
| nen the news of the tragedy
reached Deddsville a posse was form
ed and left at once for Eastland's
place. Arriving there, further shoot
ing occurred and an unknown negro
was killed. Holbert and his wife,
who had donned mems clothes. both
heavily armed, had fed.
Posses were formed at Greenville,
Cleveland and other points, and the
pursuit of Holbert and his wife was
begun with bloodhounds. The chase,
which was begun Wednesday morning,
was continued until last night, when
Holbert and his wife, worn out from
travelling over 100 miles on foot,
through conebakes and swamps, were
found asleep in heavy belt Of tim
ber three miles east of Shepardstown
and captured by posse without q
shot being fired.
The two negroes were brought to
Doddsville and were burned at the
stake by mob almost in the shadow
of the negro church here. Yesterday
two negroes were killed by posse
near Belzonia. Yazoo county. One OF
the negroes bore striking resem-
blance to Holbert and was mistaken
for him by members of the mob.
