MAN IS FOUND DEAD.
Mystery Surrounds the Death of Nool
 Huc1ins Near Piedmont.

Anniston. March 6-(Specia1)-News reached here tonight that Nool Higgins, a white man about 30 years of age was found dead this morning about five miles below Piedmont, near the Southern rail- way crossin, on top of Ball Hornet hill.
 No evidence yet of how he was killed has been obtained. Some think he was killed by a train. while others say that there is a dark deed at the bottom of this mystery. This man passed a little place called Zuni about o'clock yester- day evening walking If his journey had not been interrupted he could have travel ed far beyond the spot where he was found dead Great excitement prevails in that community on account of this morn ing's ghastly discovery.

OUADRUPLE MURDER
 NEAR DANYILLE
JAMES LUCE COMES TO TOWN AND sURRENDERs, SAYING HE FEARED SUSPICION OF NEIGH 6oRs WOULD FALL ON HIM.

Danville, Ark, March GA quadruple murder was committed at Whitley, about twelve miles from Danville, last night the victims being the wife and three children of James Ince, a farmer in that locality. Ince is suspected of the crime and is in jail. The dead bodies of the woman and children were found to- day by neighbors. An ax had been used by the murderer and the heads of the victims were split open and crushed, showing that in each instance a heavy blow was struck. The four persons had been slain as they slept Z
 The first news of the tragedy " .S brought here by Ince He said his 7 A and three children had been murder S.o their beds and he said he kne D S neighbors would accuse him of tb y deed and he was afraid he be mobbed. He came to advise with | msel as to what was best for him to do.
 Ince was advised to surrender to the officers. He was taken in charge by City Marshal Vosburg. Soon after the man was put in Jail a telephone message came from Whitley telling of the murders and requesting the authorities to look for Ince, who was suspected of committing the crime.

New Workers Do Not Want a
 Negro Revenue Collector
SENATE STILL IN SESSION
Democrats Will Probably Be Strong Enough to Prevent the San Do- mlngo Treaty Passing With
 out Republican Votes.

E Washington. March 6.-(Speclal)- President Roosevelt Is generally com mended by democrats here for his in- tentions to appoint Charles W. Ander- son, a negro to the position of collector of internal revenue in New York at a salary of $5000 per annum. It is under stood that Anderson will be appointed in June when the term of the present collector expires.
 The New York senators are not pleased negro to the office, and 1t Is understood that the local republicans will bitterly oppose the appointment and protest to the President. This is just what might have been expected. Whenever the Pres ident appoints a negro in the south he is generally commended for it by the -e- publican politicians of the north, now when the President does the square deal and appoints negro where 1t has here tofore been supposed that he was well liked a kick Is raised by the politicians.
 Senator Platt, who at the last session of congress introduced a bill cutting down the electoral vote of the south ern states, is said to be accepting the Presidents selection with very bad grace.
 It is thought that Anderson's appoint ment will be regarded in the south as one of the most popular the President has made

Senate Has Good Attendance.

The Senate, which today began It's first days work, has a total membership of lightweight The two vacancies are from the states of Missouri and Delaware. The legislatures of both states are deadlocked over the question of successors to Cock rell and Ball In the Missouri case an election may be had at any time. After the 14th of March the salaries of the members are reduced to $1 day, hence they will not care to sit much beyond that time. An election Is confidently pre- dicted In the Delaware case. Addicks is holding up the legislature and permitting no election. A continued deadlock is probable. During the last eight years Delaware has been unrepresented In the upper branch of Congress fully half of the time. While Addicks has never come near election. he holds sufficient power to keep the state in It's present semi-ter- rtorial form.
 The attendance upon the Senate this morning was much better than 1t usual ly Is. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania is in Palm Beach, Fla. for his health, and Senator McEnery of Louisiana has gone home for few days. The other members were present when the President sent in his message and big batch of appoint ments.
 There are thirty-two democrats in the Senate. hence If all the democrats are present and could be lined up together the Santo Domingo treaty could be beaten without republican votes.
 It seemed to be the opinion in the Sen ate tonight that the treaty cannot pass in its present form; that unless 1t Is amended in several important particu- lars several republican votes will be cast against it.
 The administration is very uneasy over the state of the treaty and the President Is working hard on the republican side to get them to vote him power to police Santo Domingo.

Washington, March 6.-The renom- ination of Secretary Shaw as Secre- tary of the Treasury recalls the fact that when he was nominated it was with the understanding that he would not remain longer than the fourth of March, Just past.

She was in con dltion to enter the court room, however, and Judge Taylor adjourned the trial until toniarrow morning.
 It was aE exciting day for Mrs. Chad wick, and she took the keenest interest Ill all the proceedings. Seated close be- side Her attorneys, she scanned the face of every juror summoned and frequently expressed her opinion of them to her lawyers.
