GAMBLERS RAISE QUESTION
Whether Alexandria County, Va,
Belongs to That State or Not.

Washington, Oct. %. Does Alexan-
dria county, Va, just across the Poto-
mac, belong to the District of Columbia
or is it a legal part of the Old Do
minion? This remarkable question has
been raised in the efforts of the Alex
andria county authorities to suppress
poolrooms and gambling through the
enforcement of the laws of Virginia
The keepers Of the resorts are resisting
on the ground that Alexandria county
was never lawfully retroceded to Vir-
ginia and that the whole county belongs
to the Distcict of Columbia and is con-
sequently under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Government alone.
If the contention of the gambling fra
ternity is correct, nothing but consti-
tutional amendment can absolve Alex
andria county from Federal jurisdiction
and make it legally part of Virginia.

'POSSUMS CAUSE RACE RIOT.
White Men Treed Them and Negroes

Ragged and Ate Them
Rosetta, Miss, Oct. % Four fat
'possums and party of hungry negroes
caused race riot here today. It APP
pears that a number of prominent
young white men who were stopping at
Rosetta, being bottled up by the rigid
quarantine regulations, and several resi-
dents of this town who were desirous of
some excitement organized a midnight
hunting party, and started out for pos
sums. The party cornered four of the
animals in a tree, and being unable to
locate them in the uncertain light of
the moon decided to tie their dogs at
the tree and await the coming of day.

was pitched and the entire party went
to sleep.
Shortly after the retiring of the
white hunters a party of negroes, bent
on the same pursuit -,possum meat

dogs at the base of the tree they i'm

the negroes located the 'possums it did
not take them long to have their
favorite game bagged. The temptation
was too strong for them to wait until
they returned to their homes, so they
built fire nearby to cook the
'possums. The noise awoke one of the
white hunters, and when he discovered
the true state of affairs he aroused his
compatriots and laid siege to the negro
foragers.
A fierce fight followed. The noise
caused by the struggle between the
combatants aroused all of the citizens
in the neighborhood, who went to the
rescue of the white hunters with pitch
forks, clubs and guns. The riot ragged

Manufacturers.
New York, Oct %. The advance in
the price of leather of all grades, which
has been steady and continuous for the
past two months, has reached point
over which the manufacturers of leather
goods are taking alarm and beginning
to talk of raising prices all along the
line. Already the Chicago shoe manu-
facturers have advanced their prices so
cents per pair, and there was talk here
to the effect that Eastern manafactur-
ers would follow suit within few days.
Quotations have risen SO persistently

prices that unless wisdom and restraint

San Francisco. Aug. 17.-Since the
arrival Of President Il. II. Hartman
of the Southern Pacific company in
this city last Friday it has become
known that he has offered the Ken
lucky authorities $4,000 to settle the
tax dispute Of the company with that
state and with jefferson county, in
which Louisville is situated and in
which the company maintains an Of
flee. The claim Of the state and coun-
ty is for unpaid taxes amounting to
81, ,S579O2.22 for the years between
1900 and 1905, inclusive.
Hartman claims that all taxes up
to two years ago were paid to the then
state auditor and that the present au-
ditor, A. j. Blot, is trying to date his
tax demands back into a previous re-
gime He and his attorneys insist
that $4S, 900 is fair amount to pay
in taxes for the past two years be-
cause the company can and does claim
a large amount of exemptions under
a decision of the United States SUI
preme court. in a Pennsylvania case.
The Kentucky authorities make
claim to the large sum mentioned,
based on an assessment ranging from
s143.5OO,114 in 1900 up to s310,163,-
527 in 1905. They assert that the
company up to two years ago only
paid a total of $4,000 in taxes.
The company was incorporated by
the Kentucky legislature by the acts
Of March II, 1884, and March 21,
1883. The authorities insist that the
time has come when this rich corpor-
alton should be made to pay its fair
share Of the tax burdens of the Blue
Grass state and that if 1t no longer
desires to shield itself under its Ken
lucky charter it should say so and sur
render it. But so long as it keeps 1t
for the benefit derived therefrom-
and within the last two years it used

lions of dollars-just so long should
it pay taxes to the state of Kentucky

BACK FROM MANILA.
JOHN &. GEARIN SPEAKS
OF TAFTS POLICY
American Colony in the Philippines
Opposes the Governments Tactics
Because II Advances Filipinos and
Leaves American Offlce-Seekers
Out-At One Time Every Ncwspa-
per In Manila Was Under the Ban
for ScditiOn.

"Tafts policy in the Philippines is
not admired by the American colony
there, but it is believed that it will
finally swing the natives to American
ideas of government" said John C.
Gearin, formerly I'm the newspaper
business In Manila, who was in the
city last evening on his way to Cald-
well to look over the newspaper field
there with view to engaging in bus
mess.
Mr.. Gearin speaks entertainingly
of life in Manila, and were it not for
the debilitating climate, would have
remained there.
He was city editor of the Manila
News, at the time O'Brien, of the
Manila Freedom was tried for sedl-
ton, and says that during the recon-
struction after the American occu-
patton, no newspaper man had justly
won his spurs there If he had not
been arrested for libel or sedition.
At one time every newspaper in
Manila was under the ban of the gov
ernment for melting rebellion, as the
charges read, by opposing the policy
Of the government i'm appointing cer-
tain Filipino Statesmen" to respon-
sible government positions.
The exact statement made by
O'Brien. and the one on which he
was tried for sedition and served six
months in the federal prison i'm Ma
Mia is as follows. according to Mr..
Gearin "The government of the
United States is harboring and de-
Tending cutthroats and murderers in
the islands" The statement was
made with reference to some of the
most conspicuous native appointees
of Taft, after he had begun his re-
adjustment of the policy of the gov
eminent in the islands.
ITO understand O'Brien's state
ment," said Mr.. Gearin, cit is neces-
sary to understand something of
Taft's policy. In the first place Taft
believed that by appointing former
Filipino rebels to government posi-
tions he could gain the confidence of
the rebels and their followers, and
swing them to American ideas more
quickly than by holding them i'm sus-
picion and making secret war upon
them.
"1n appointing many of the former
rebels to places of trust, Taft made
mistakes and on the recommends
tion of responsible Filipino business
men, appointed some of the most
cruel and bloodthirsty old murderers
that ever roamed the jungle, but il
was not intentional. To this class of
rebels the Freedom ana other Manila
papers furiousy objected and in CEN
suring the government for its action,
Freedom made the statement just
quoted, and for which the editor
served six months for sedition."
But, however, the policy of Taft,
which gave the Fiiipinos some of the
most important inferior offices, made
friends for the government and has
been the means of allaying rebellion
on the islands of LuZon, to a large
degree. Mr.. Gearin believes.
