The football season has closed,
and we'll it may be. The game
as now played in most cities and
towns savors OF the prize ring,
and in many instances excells the
tistic encounters for brutality.
Each season increases the long
list Of deaths from accident or re-
ysultant from blows purposely de-
livered by some member on a
team. Young men are sent to
educational institutions in pursuit
of useful, elevating knowledge,
not to train and cultivate the ami
NAL force which is born III every
creature. The game is said to be
high-class sport, Witnessed by
thousands, among whom are the
clergy, educators, and the elete
set, whose homes have been dark
ened by untimel.y bleiting out the
/ life Of d promising young man.
An awakening is at hand. The
foremost colleges are placing
!
ban on the game and it is hoped
that every institution Of learning
insthe land will forever bar the
diversion.

Montgomery, Ala, May 27.-Judge
Francis C. Randolph, one Of the best
known men in Alabama, was shot and
instantly killed this afternoon by John
Randolph, a second cousin, in front of
the latter's office on South Perry Street.
There are several rumors as to the
cause of the tragedy, the one given
most credence being that Judge Ran
dolph had demanded loan of money
from his slayer, with the accompanying
threat that unless the loan was forth
coming violence would ensue. The two
men met this afternoon, and it Is stated
that Judge Randolph repeated his
threats. John Randolph presented a
single-barrel repeating shotgun, and
Judge Randolph attempted to draw a
revolyer, wheregpaA John Randolph

entering the heart and the other the
neck. Either would have proved fatal.
A crowd estimated at 200 persons at
once surrounded the scene of the trag-
edy and medical aid was summoned, hut

dolph was dead, HE slayer was arrest
cd and placed in the county Jail.
A few weeks ago Judge Randolph
was an unsuccessful candidate for the

While Police Walled Man Died on Track

Paris, May 27.-A strange incident
this week afforded a striking example
of the love in France for formalities.
On railroad near Toulon at l O'Clock
in the morning, a belated pedestrian
found man laid across the rails, and
tried in vain to force him to quit his
perilous position. He then went to a
district police station, which was only
about two hundred yards away.
The manin charge there said he could
not leave, and sent word to the Cen
trail police station. There the good
Samaritan was informed that the affair
was not the business of the ordinary
police, that he must report to the rail-
way police.
The good Samaritan went and woke
up the chief of the railway police, and
with him returned to where the man
was left lying on the line.
In the meanwhile, two hours and a
half had elapsed. A train had passed
and the mans body was fonnd run
over. Death had been instantaneous.

WILL SUE Mr.. UPSHUR FOR LIBEL
Statement by the Assistant Secretary Of
the Corporation Commission.

the Corporation Commission.
Richmond, Va, May 29.-In leng-
thy statement made public this after
noon, Major A. S. Lanier, whose res
ignation was recently demanded by the
Corporation Commission on charges
preferred by the secretary, John A,
Upshur, states that he will at once
bring action against Mr.. Upshur for
libel.
TAKES ISSUE WITH JUDGE CRUMP.
Mr.. Lanier's statement bears pretty
severely on Judge Beverley T. Crump,
president Of the commission, and that
gentleman will doubtless make second
public utterance.
The statement of Major Lanier
takes direct issue with that made by
Judge Crump, which was to the effect
that irreconcilable differences between
John "a. Upshur, the secretary, and
Lanier was the cause of the latter's
resignation being requested.
Major Lanier says that the formation
of the Virginia Corporation Company
was at the bottom of the whole Difficult
ty. He declares that he laid all the
plans of this company before Judge
Crump prior to it's Incorporation, and
that it was highly approved by him, he
saying that it would assist the corpora
tion commission and increase the States
revenues.
Major Lanier AYERS that he then
asked Judge Crump whether the ap-
proval of Messrs. Stuart and Fairfax,
the other members of the commission,
had not better be secured, and asserts
that he replied, "No; there is no use in
that"
Further, he says that Judge Crump
eagerly availed himself of the oppor-
tunity to secure one share of stock in
the new company, valued at $780, and
that there is only one shareholder who
holds q greater amount of stock for
which eash was paid.
Lahier, continuing, declares that
Judge Crump allowed his resignation to
be demanded on an ex-parte statement
by Upshur because he (Crump) did not
wish his colleagues en- the commission
to know that he (Crump) held stock in
the new company.
CHARGES JEALOUSY.
Mr.. Lanier then goes on to assert
that the creation of a bureau Of chart
ers, of which he was made the head,
had stripped Upshur of much of his
power, had aroused his jealousy, and
determined him to drive Lanier out Of
the commission, which the latter asserts
he attempted to do by meals Of es-
pionage, eliminating in the charge that
Lanier was qnduV active in behalf Of
tbs Rsw company.
Judge Crump tonight refused to
make any additional statement,

ATLANTIC WINS EMPEROR'S CUP
The Trim American Yacht Crossed the
Atlantic In II Days and I6 Hours.


The Lizard, May 29.-The American
schooner yacht Atlantic is the winner
of the ocean race and the kaiser's cup,
having crossed the finish line at ,9:l8
tonight.
AS the Atlantic passed the line south
of the Lizard light house a gun was fired
from the German cruiser Pfeil, the
stake boat, which arrived early in the
evening, while rockets were sent up
from Lloyds' signal station and fog
horns were blown at the light house:
The Atlantic proceeded for 6owes, Isle
of Wight, intent on beating the record.
After passing Scilly the Atlantic was
becalmed and had twelve hours to drift.
At the Lizard she met a tremendous sea
swell and for some time drifted back
wards,
Captain Barr and Wilson Marshall,
the owner of the Atlantic, agreed that
they had made a splendid passage, with
out single mishap, only experiencing
one strong gale, through which the boat
rode admirably.
The record sail for one day was BAL
knots, which Mr.. Marshall believes
beats anything hitherto achieved. This
was made May "a. On May "a the
yacht made 2S2 knets, on May 2e, l7S
knots, on May q, 14S knots, and on
May 28, 123 knots.
The Atlantic reached Bishop Rock
light house southwest Of the main
group of the Scilly Isles) May 20, hav-
ing accomplished the passage to that
point in eleven days, sixteen hours and
twenty-five minutes, with an average
of ten and a-half knots per hour.

The Success Of Banks that Pay Inter
est on Deposits.

1t will be interesting to great many
people to know that the largest, strong
est and most successful banks in the
United States pay interest on savings
account, all Of the banks, both State
and National, of Lynchburg, Richmond,
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York City, pay interest on
savings accounts, thereby securing
large deposits that they are enabled to
loan at a good rate of interest and dis
count. The stock of these banks is the
most profitable of any in the country,
more than three-fourths of the banks
of the United States are now paying in
terest on savings accounts and doing 1t
successfully. The American National
Bank of Graham, Va, has adopted this
plan. after very careful consideration of
the matter. It is the only bank in this
immediate community that openly and
fairly announces this, that it will pay
interest to everybody alike, special
privileges to none.
There is no question as to the securl-
ty of your money when placed in Ma
tfonal Bank, and it is decidedly more
secure where the bank is progressive
and enterprising in its methods of
doing business, because all of the inter-
ests of the bank and its depositors are
safely guarded. This bank offering in
terest at its very beginning in business,
and making its arrangements for plac-
ing and handling its deposits can do it
proftably, much more so than a bank
having been in business here for a num-
Der Of years, and having secured
large deposits on which they pay the
public nothing and loaning 1t out on
that basis, and for that reason we re-
main the only bank paying interest IN
the community.
You are not bound by any contract to
leave your money any period of time,
but can withdraw it whenever you like,
and if it is not withdrawn within sixty
davs from the time of the deposit the
regular interest of three per cent. will
be allowed. This is destined to be of
great help to people with money that
they do not care to invest permanently,
because you draw interest from the first
day you deposit it.
Your correspondence is solicited where
you have any intention of opening
new account, either as an individual
firm or corporation.

UNCLE SAM CALLS ON RUSSIA TO
EXPLAIN.
Minister Grlscom Confirms Sinking Of an
American Steamer.

mlnISIeT dTISCOm OOHHTWo DUMMY VI a."
American Steamer.
Washington, NAB 20. -fhe confirma-
ton from Minister Griscom of the sink
ing of an American steamer by Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's feet led to prompt
action by the Administration. Acting
Secretary of State Loomis and Presi-
dent Roosevelt at once conferred and
a despatch was sent to Ambassador
Meyer at st. Petersburg directing him
to call the matter to the attention of
the Russian government and ask for a
prompt and full explanation of the oc-
currence.
It was rumored that admiral Rojest-
venksy would attempt to justify the
sinking Of the vessel on the ground that
she was liable to carry information to
the enemy. If it was an American YES
sci under the American flag and not, as
some intimate, a vessel chartered by
Japan as a collier, such an explanation
is not likely to be satisfactory. 1t is
said that there is no justification for
sinking a vessel that might have been
taken in tow and thus effectually pre-
vented from carving news to the Jap
anese.
In measure the sinking of an Am
erican steamer places the United States
in the attitude of England when the
British North Sea fishing fleet was fired
on by Rojestvensky's warships off Dog
ger. 1t that case the Russians pleaded
that they had mistaken the fishing yes
sells for hostile ships, and this excuse
permitted an adjustment of that affair
by an international court without a re-
sort to hostilities. The sinking of neu-
trail merchantmen by vessels of the
Russian volunteer feet was also adjust
ed through diplomacy, because it was
shown that these merchantmen had con-
traband of war aboard and were thus
liable to drastic treatment. In the pre-
sent instance, however, granted that
the American vessel was sunk deliber-
ately by Russian warships because Of the
fear that it would give military infor-
nation that would be useful to the Jap
anese, the situation is different, and
will require the most delicate handling
to prevent trouble.
