JUDGE PARKER'S VISIT
RESULTS IN THE SETTLING OF DE-
 FERENCEs.
German VIII Have an Active Fart fin the Campaign But Chairman Taggart Will Not Be
 Superseded.

New York. Sept 16.-several impor- tant questions were settled by the visit of Judge Alton B. Parker to New York and his conferences with Democratic leaders.
 It was determined that Senator Cor man should have an active place in the campaign. but that Chairman Tag gart was not the superseded. The con- ference of Tammany leaders with Judge Parker resulted in tho scttle- ment of differences in Greater New York. so far as they relate to national and State issues.
 The selection of a temporary chair man of the Democratic State conven- ton was made and his name will be officially announced tomorrow. The governorship and other State offices was discussed. but it was stated that nothing as to the selection of candi- dates would be done until next week at Saratoga.
 Another matter left open is wheth- CT Judge Parker will make a series of speeches during the campaign. Other conferences similar to those held during yesterday and today will prob- ably he held next week before Judge Parker's letter of acceptance is made public.
 Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany leader was closeted with Judge Park CT for a half hour this morning and had an afternoon audience which last. ed until the Judge left for Esopus.
 Judge Parker received eighty mem 0ers of the National Bankers Associa- ton in session in this city. There were no speeches. He left for Esopus shortly after 6 o'clock.
 Pilgrimages of delegations to Esop- us are being arranged by the national Democratic committee. The delega- tions will be addressed by Judge Park

THE sTATEBoRO LYNcHERs.
Civil Authority May Yet Attempt ts
 Punish the Offenders.

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. l6.-Governor Terrell was seen tonight by a repre- sentative of the Associated Press and gave out statement to the effect that the civil authorities may yet take a hand in the Statesboro affair.
 If the Bullock County grand jury will return indictments against mens- ber or members of the mob which burned Reed and Cato at the stake.1 win request Attorney General Hart to at- tend the session of the court and aid in the prosecution of the men who trampled on the laws of Georgia" said Governor Terrell.
 Tt is not within, the province of the Attorney General to take the initiative but if Bullock County will do its part. the people may rest assured that ey- erything will be done to bring the of- lenders to justice.'
 The State Constitution prevents the Governor from acting directly against the Sheriff or any one who might have been connected with the crime. The County officers can only be removed by the grand jury for maifeasance in of. flee.

I. M. HIGGINS ARRESTED ... ... FOR LYNCHING OF NAPLES

anybody but they are here because of the threats that have been made that persons who are arrested In connection with this lynching' will not be allowed to lie in jail, but l am sure that every good citizen will endorse their pres ence in this court room.
 If they had reached here at o'clock on the evening of September [. the laws of this State would snot have been violated. and arson in the first degree would not have been commit ted in the County jail right in the shadow of this temple of justice.'
 MT. Cooper again entered d protest. ana Judge .Speake replied to him with soree feeling. He said that the militia had been brought here on his sugges- tjon. after consultation with the sheriff of the county, and on his suggestion the the civil authorities would be un- able to maintain order, and that 1t was proper that they should appear in the court rooip, this being the purpose for which they were sent by the Governor of Alabama.
 Speake Rebukes Cooper.
 Judge Speake characterized the speech of MT. Cooper as incendiary and liable to arouse the slumbering pas. sions Of the people.
 The indictment against Higgins is the same as that against Hill. The trial of the defendant was set for Wed nesday September 21. and a special venire of fifty names was drawn, from which jury will be selected to try the case,
 Captain Brown has made complaint that warrants are not being served as quickly as they should be. and on his request has been -deputized to arrest in dicted persons. The sheriff and depu- ties claim that the absence of returns Is because the persons wanted have left town.

LEVY AN ASSESSMENT
IOWANS EXPECTED TO CONTRIB
 UTE TO CAMPAIGN.
Circular Letter Which Has for It's Ob- feet the Modification of ROOse- velt's Order and Civil Ser
 vice Law.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,

Washington. Sept. 16.
 An attempt manifestly aimed at a violation of President Roosevelts or- der and the civil service law relative to soliciting contributions from gov ernment employees for campaign pur- poses has just been unearthed by Chairman Cowherd of the National Democratic Committee.
 Among the callers at Democratic headquarters today was an Iowan. who submitted to Chairman Cowherd a circular letter printed upon official pa per and bearing the signature H. R. Spence, Chairman of the State Central Committee of Iowa, in which the writ CT notified the recipient that for the future good of the party" he was ex- pected. as an employe of the govern ment, to contribute 3 per cent of his salary for the benefit of the Republican State campaign fund.
 There are large number of Iowans In the governments employ, some of whom, however. are Democrats, and in making up the list, the name of the in- diVidual who gave the Republican trick away was inadvertently included.
 It Is the intention of Chairman Cow herd to bring the matter to the atten- tion of the Civil Service Commission. as well as to give widespread public lNy lO metnOdS of raising the wind" for political pur- poses. The letter read as follows:
 The Republican State Central Com- mittee has entered into the campaign realizing that the important position which Iowa has taken by reason of re- cent large Republican majoritIes should be maintained. The Commit tee also feels that the campaign Is an exceedingly important one with refer ence to the future of the party in Iowa as 1t marks a change of management in the Democratic party, and the re- suit of the work this year will doubt less stand for years as a comparative measure of the strength of the two parties in the State.
 The Committee believes that as an Iowan you are sufficiently interested in the work In this State to make a contribution based upon the salary which you are receiving. and we ven- ture to suggest as the amount which might be considered equitable in your case"
