DESPERATE MAN
DEFIES BIG POSSE
KILLS TWO MEN AND is TAKEN
ONLY AFTER PURSUIT WHICH
LASTED NEARLY THREE WEEKS
COMMUNITY WROUGHT UP.

Little Rock, Ark, May pa special to
the Gazette from Dequeen says:
After killing two Sewer county citi-
aens, d. Goddard was this morning cap
tured by an armed posse from this city
and placed in the city jail. He waylaid
and shot Lee Ward near Gillian on May
10 over a trivial dispute, and since that
time posses have been in search of him.
lestrday evening three members of the
passe came upon him on Rolling Fork
river, west of Gillian. He had his shoes
off and was eating lunch. Upon seeing
his pursuers he fired upon them, killing
James Mills, one of the posse. He fled
barefooted and was not seen again until
this morning. A posse of about twenty
three started from Dequeen in search of
him and found him about a mile west
of town.
Goddard was armed and was twice fired
at before being captured. He was shot
In the face. arm. side and leg, but none
of his wounds Is serious.
His two victims were popular in their
localities, and there Is some talk of lynch
ing. The Jail is closely guarded. God
dard is wldower with four children.

RATE FIGHT IN GEORGIA.
The Jobhers and Manufacturers Are
scrapping Over Commodity Rates.

Atlanta, May 29-(Special. )--There is
every indication that not only Savannah,
but other communities in the state are
going to oppose the announced policy of
the railroad commission looking to the
building up of a system of protection in
Georgia. because they believe it will make
Atlanta the most favored city in the nat
ter of trade.
This protective policy consists in put
ting In reduced commodity rates on all
adtices manufactured In Georgia to all
points within the state, with a view to
enabling Georgia manufacturers to COM
pete successfully within the state with
manufacturing enterprises located in other
states
While the commission proposes to put
In commodity rates on All manufactured
articles, and from all the points where
such articles are made in Georgia, SO
as to give every community an opportuni-
ty to build up It's manufacturing estab-
llshments objection Is mace TO this policy.
especially by Savannah, on the ground
that it WILL for a time at least give At
lanta monopoly on the jobbing trade.
This, 1T Is stated, will be the inevitable
result because of the fact that wherever
a rate is made to benefit manufacturer,
the jobber must also be given the benefit
of the same rate, and as Atlanta has
vastly more manufacturing enterprises
than Savannah or any other city In the
state. this city would naturally get the
benefit of these rates for the jobbing trade
In those articles which are manufactured
here.
On the other hand the railroad commits
sion contends that it is pursuing the only
proper policy, because In no other way
can Georgia manufacturing establish
ments be maintained against outside
competition because the railroads give
such low interstate rates from northern
manufacturing centers as to put the
Georgia manufacturers at a decided dis
advantage.
1t looks as IL warm fight between the
Georgia jobbers and manufacturers Is at
hand with the railroad commission on the
side of the latter

RoJESTvENSkY HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH,

The admiralty is without reports of the
defeat. Private adviees are said to have
reached the city from Nladivostok ac-
cording to which Rojestvensky Is alive
but that he had narrow escape. He is
said to have transferred himself from
the Kniaz Souvaroff to one of the battle
ships subsequently sunk and that he was
wounded and picked up by a torpedo
boat
A large portion of the officers and sail
ors of the heet were residents of st. Pc
tersburg, and evidences of grief are seen
on every hand Wives and children are
besieging the admiralty and are visiting
the churches to pray for the escape of
their loved ones.
Many OF the people of St. Petersburg
refuse absolutely to credit the news from
Toxic, and are clutching at the belief
that perhaps II is not official.
The government undoubtedly fears the
effect of the news of the disaster upon
the country, as evidence of which Gov
ernor General Trepoff has taken per-
sonal charge of the censorship in ST.
Petersburg
Peace demonstrations are generally ex-
pected though pending the decision Of
the government regarding the opening OF
negotiations It is impossible to predict
what stand the anti-government forces
may take.

BARON HAYASHI ELATED

London, May 29.-Baron Hayashi, the

this evening said;
I'VE all rejoice at Togos magnificent
victory. We had confidence he could not
be so badly beaten as it was supposed
the Russians thought he would be. but
at the same time we were not entirely
free from anxiety. Now we feel Quiet
in our minds and the remainder seems
easy.
Regarding whether this fight will
prove step in the direction of peace.
we cannot judge Outsiders cannot ex-
press opinion of any value on this point
The question must be regarded from
the Russian standpoint. One thing is
certain, this makes the Japanese fur
Their naval and military operations very
easy. If the war continues Vladivostok
may become a second Port Arthur 1t
seems impossible, under the circum-
