MEN FOR CANAL ARE cLuRsED.
Laborers From Martinique Refose to
Land and Are Fired From Ship.

Land and Are Fired From snip.
Colon, Oct. 3.-Six hundred and fifty
laborers from Martinique, brought
here Friday on the French steamer
Versailles under contract to work on
the canal, refused to disembark or to
submit to vaccination, which is i'm
perative under the American sanitary
regulations. They clamored to be
taken back to Martinique, asserting
that they had been misinformed as TO
the conditions here before they en-
barked, and that later they learned
these conditions were intolerable and
deadly.
Yesterday morning, however, 500 OF
them were with difficulty persuaded to
land and these were sent to points
along the line of the canal. One hun
dred and fifty remained on board and
Declined to Leave
the ship under any consideration.
These were forcibly elected from the
vessel by Panaman and canal zone po-
licemen, but not until nearly every one
of them had been dubbed and several
were bleeding from nasty wounds. All
of yesterday and last night the Yer
sailles was guarded by Panaman po-
licemen.
Early in the morning the French
consul at Colon, NJ. Bonhenry, APP
pealed to the men to listen to reason,
explaining that they had left Martin
ique under contract with the canal
zone emigration agent guaranteeing
the payment of their passage here,
and that while working on the canal
they would have, inaddition to their
wages, the guarantee of free quarters
and free medical attendance. The
men, however.
Were Not Amenabe
to this reasoning. Notwithstanding the
efforts of the consul and of the Pan
aman and American officials, and
despite the information given them by
several of their countrymen that
health and other conditions on the
isthmus were satisfactory and that the
terms of their employment would en-
able them to save money, they persis-
tently refused to leave the ship, bar
ing their breasts and invoking death
in preference to going ashore.
At 2 o'clock the laborers were iu-
formed that they would be given two
hours to reconsider their decision, and
at o'clock three of them consented
to disembark, the others still holding
out. Then the Panaman police, armed
with clubs, approached the laborers,
and on their refusing to quit the ship,
began to
Club Them Right and Left.
The zone police few minutes later
assisted in the clubbing, but with bet
ter judgement and less indiscriminate-
ly. About fifty of the laborers leaped
into the sea, but all of the men were
able to swim. The captain, however
lowered boat, which picked them up.
Nearly every man had received blows
and several of them were bleeding
from ugly wounds.
Seeing that resistance was useless,
the men yielded, came ashore and be-
gan to eat the food which had been
placed on the dock in sight of them
for several hours. Many of them had
not eaten since Saturday. At o'clock
all the laborers, who were in pitia-
bic condition, We're placed on board a
ol, 1of%
they will be put to work.

2 eyy'lINGHAM BRIDE
 COMMITS SUICIDE
BECOMES RESPONDENT IN GIN CINNATI AND DRINKS cARBoLlC ACID, DYING SOON AFTERWARD IN GREAT AGONY.

Cincinnati, O., September 15.-(Specia1) The police were called upon this after noon to investigate the death of Mrs. William Parscallen, aged 1s. bride of few weeks. who only recently came here from Birmingham, Ala.
 The woman had evidently grown home sick. This forenoon she told her hus- band that she was going to kill herself. She went to a drug store near her home and bought supposedly carbolic acid. Tel ling her husband that she was going to kill herself, she drained glass of aqueous looking liquor and fell screaming to the floor. The husband ran to the drug store to learn if the drug would kill and clerk smilingly informed him that 1t was poison. When Parscallen ran back he found his wife in agony. In a few min utes she was dead. Parseallen is a collec- tor.
 Parscallen told the police after the death of his wife that Mrs. Parscallen had attempted to take the poison in the morn ing but he had taken 1t from her and hidden 1t. There are no scars, such as are usually made by carbolic acid around the mouth. Neighbors say that Mrs. ,Parscallen was Jealous of her husband and worried greatly when he did not come home on time. Ten minutes before she died Mrs Murray, a neighbor, spoke to her and she seemed to be in excellent spirits

IMPORTANT CASE BEGINS.
Men Interested in Laurens Cotton MlIls
 Are Behind Suit.

Asheville, N. C.. September 15.-Argu- ment was begun here today before Judge Pritchard in the United States circuit court on the rule to show cause why William E. Lucas should not be enjoined from further proceedings in the state courts of South Carolina against Deering Millikin, and why the present board of directors of the Laurens cotton mills should not be removed.
 This Is an important stage In the fight of the president of the cotton mills at Laurens to compel Deering Millikin. as the formers agent at New York, to trans fer to MT. Lucas 300 shares of stock which he claims to have purchased for the sum of s75.000. and which the commission men are alleged to be using to depose Lucas as head of the enterprise. It is said that the commission house Is unfriendly to Lucas because the contract which they had to sell products of the mills was ter minated few months ago and given to another concern at 3 per cent. instead of per cent, which was charged under the old contract. Nine of the most promi- nent attorneys in South Carolina are en- gagged in the argument. which will not be well under way before tomorrow. ow- ing to the voluminous records. Indica- tions are that the contest on both sides will be fierce.

RAMSEY MAKES STATEMENT.
Says He Wants to Operate the Wabash
 independently.

Pittsburg, September 15.-''If the ma- iority debenture and stockholders of the Wabash Railroad company honor me with their proxies and I am placed In con trol of the company. the Wabash railroad will be operated entirely independent of all other interests than those of the debenture and stockholders themselves. wish to deny emphatically the statement that there is any alliance on my part with the Vanderbilt or New York Central in- terests, or with the Pennsylvania Inter- ests, or any other interest which would prevent the handling of the Wabash prop critics for any other purpose than giv- ing the returns to those who have their money invested there.'
 This statement was made today by Joseph Ramsey, Jr., the president of the Wabash, with whom the large Gould in- terest in the property is now at variance.
 President Ramsey says he would not have started on his present venture if he did not believe there was chance to succeed.

MAKES NOVEL SUGGESTION.
Gen. Grant Would Allow Families oi Absent Soldiers to Live in Barracks.

Washington, September 15.-In his annual report Brig.-Gen. F. D. Grant, commanding the Department of the East, makes the novel suggestion that the families of some of the officers and enlisted men in the army transferred to the Philippines be allowed to live in the barracks and quarters in limited number of abandoned forts while the husbands are absent from the country. He suggests Fort Trumboll, Conn.,, as an excellent place for such use.
 Speaking of the many trials by court martial, General Grant says that fully 75 per cent of these trials were due to the use of bad liquor in dens of vice near military posts. Says the general:
 There depraved creatures and lewd women use every device in their power to ensnare them to patronize their brothals, where, yielding to temptation, they are drugged and robbed"

 No attempt has yet been made to pass up this question at any of the regular board meetings, but the fact is that the majority of the foreign delegates who have been closely studying the vast amount of data collected and laid before the board by the canal commission are at present of the opinion that a sea level canal would be better than lock canal
