Several Were Killed Near
 ValdOSta.
TRIED TO MOB WHTIE MAN
Superintendent Endeav0red to
 Stop Row.
Two Blacks Were Killed in Deadly Melee, Three Were Mortally Wounded and Eight Others
 Were Seriously Hurt.

Valdosta Ga Dec. 23.-A bloody riot among negroes was reported here today from Ewing, a turpentine camp between Fargo and St. George, on the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad.
 The first report stated that crowd of negroes tried to mob white man who was superintendent there, when he barricaded himself and fired upon the crowd killing seven and wound- ing six others. Later reports stated that the riot occurred as the result of "blind tiger" liquor on board.
 A general fusilade occurred and pro- bably fifty shots were fired. Two ne- groes were killed outright. three were mortally wounded and died later, while eight others received bullet wounds. A negro woman was among the killed and women were also among the wounded. One of the women was brought to Fargo for treatment, hav- ing several bullet wounds in her body and another of the negroes came here with part of his chin and jaw shot off. having received the contents of a shot gun at close range.
 He will probably die. It was in1- possible to get telegraphic communi- cation with the place as there is no telegraph office there and only meagre information could be had from nearby stations. Parties who came on the tfaln rom that part or the country today stated that the row was entirely among negroes and that bad liquor and women caused it.
 There are persistent reports, ,howev- CT, that the white superintendent of the turpentine still at Ewing took a hand in the killing among the ne- groes there last evening. The report says that he tried to stop the fight and thus became involved in it, and that 1t was only his quick work with his gun that saved him. This cannot be verified, but 1t is told here by 8 negro who came on the train today.

Dr. Carton simon Cites Example of Torturs
 of CaIIOwS.

Jersey City. N. J. Dec. 2s.-Dr. Carton Simon, who witnessed the hanging yestedey of Edwin r. TapIey. Jr. declares that the murderer gave the prearranRed sirneis in proof that he was conscious. nearly half q minute after the trap had besn sprung. Dr. simon said:
 'The actual tess on the Gallows was most successful TRpley was absolutely In possession of his me ntal faculties
 'fThe hand and fingers of the dangling body moved with convulsivs contraction. Then the hands fell rigid at the sides.
 Five seconds pasted and then Tapley be- gan the signals agreed upon between us
 The first signal came as Tapley holding the left hand extended rigidly downward. raised the right hand slowly IS far as the bonds permitted him and mado three dis tinct contractions ot the thumb and fore finger Then. with clearly determined eff fort, the dying man lowered his right hand. held it for an instant rigidly aEsinst his thigh, and slowly raising the left hand. re- peated the signal fi
 ''At the third contraction of the left hand there seemed barely strength in the dying fingers to carry out the agreed program.
 ''To any man Ss scinetific knowledge. viewing this test with n full knowledge of all the governing conditions. the following conclusions are inevitable:
 "Namely-That Tapley was alive and in conscious torture for nearly half a minute after the fall of the drop.
 That he was literally stranded to death in the name of the law"

KILLING AT GADSDEN.
Negro Man Takes Life of His House
 KeeDer.

Gadsden, Dec. 23.-(Special.) )-Albert Garner. colored. was placed in jail today on charge of murdering a negro woman. Lonnie Borders at Alabama City Friday night.
 The woman was shot through the heart. Garner and three other negro men who were in the house at the time, claim that the shooting was accidental, but there are some very suspicious cir cumstances surrounding the case.
 Garner claims he was handling a pis- tol and that it went on accidentally and killed the woman. They all live in the house together, and she was doing the cooking. Late at night they were at home and just berore bed time Gar ner picked up the pistol and began playing with 1t when suddenly the weapon went of. The woman fell to the floor. the bullet having passed through her heart.
 Garner and one other man went to bed immediately. as if hothing unusual had occurred. but the other two soon saw that this performance would not do and they informed Chief of Police J. A. Raarad. The chief went to the house and arrested Garner and kept him in the city prison over night. He sent the man to Gadsden in charge of Deputy Griffin. It Is said that on the day before the shooting the Borders woman sent her cousin word that an attempt had been made to kill her by some one other than Garner.

National Assembly Meets Early in January and May Elect a Dark Horse to Succeed MOn-
 sIeur L0ubet.

Paris. Dc. 23.-Premier Rouvier is developing marked strength as a pos- sibie dark horse in the coming Presi- dential election. The national assem- bly will meet at Versailles January IS to elect a successor to President Lou bet.
 The palace there is now, being pre- pared to receive the nine hundred sem ators and deputies constituting the assembly and the near approach of the voting is causing an active canvass in behalf of the various candidates. F. Fallieres. president of the senate, has thus far been considered the leading candidate and his supporters claim he is already sure of majority in the assembly. NJ. Fallieres relies chiefly on the precedent established by M Loubet in going from the presidency of the senate to the presidency of the republic.
 However, the candidacy of M. Fall Heres does not arouse popular enthu- siasm A,d the opposition is combining 8 to support Paul Doumer, president of the Chamber of Deputies. NJ. Dou- mer represents the younger and more active element. His candidacy is pop ular. but he has the antagonism of some strong groups in both chambers It is expected that the first ballot will be divided between NJ. Fallieres and M. OOnnleE, WltH some votes TOT Leon Bourgeois, the former premier: Henri Rrisson, another former premier and former president of the Chamber of Deputies; Paul Deschanel. president of the committee on foreign and colonial affairs of the chamber: Minister of War Etienne and minister of marine Thompson.
 Should the claim of the friends of M. Fallieres of an assured majority materialize the contest would be short and decisive. However, the sharpness of the struggle between M. FallIeres and Doumer may prolong the contest and lead to the presentation of a dark horse in the person of Premier Rou- vier, who had thus far withheld from the contest.
 But some of his near friends predict that his name will rally a majority in the assembly should 8 prolonged deadlock occur.
 President Loubet has positively de- clined to be a candidate for a second term, but the possibility remains of the assembly making him an unwill- ing candidate. Still the contest ap- pears to be narrowed down to M. Fall Heres and Doumer, with NJ. Rouvier, Bourgeois. Brisson and others named making up the field of emergency can didateS

ROW AMONG ADvENrIsTs.
Prophecies White Says Things About
 pr. KeI1Og.

Detroit, Dec. 23-A Ncws-TTibune special from Battle Creek. Mich, says Leading members of the Seventh Day Adventists state that the friction be- tween the Prophecies Ellen G, White and Dr. John H. Kellogg will result shortly in the removal from Battle Creek of about 5000 mem bers of the church.
 Prophetess White has for a iong time vehemently criticized pr. Kellogg and declared that an Adventist institution of which he is the head cannot be looked upon as a denominational con cern. Two mass meetings have re- gently been held, the result of which. it is stated, will be an early migration of a large number of Adventists to Ia coma Park, near Washington, D. C., where the church has already estab- lished a large colony.

Moscow, Dec. )-The situation Is hourly growing worse. The Insurgents hold several quarters of the city and fighting continues desperately.
 Two large arms stores have been piilaged and the weapons distributed among the men who have erected bar- ricades along the Sadoyia, which en- circles the city. The military has suc- ceeded in isolating various sections, preventing communications. From the heights cOlOred signal rockets are showing instructions to the isolated commanders. The searchllghts on the Soukaao6 and other towers illuminate the streets where the fighting Is pro- ceeding.
 The roar of cannon continues. Ma chine guns are being employed to clear the Sadovfa. It Is impossible to esti- mate the number of dead and wounded, but 1t will probably rum into the thous- ands. In n square In the heart of the city the insurgents are making a des- perate fight from house, | sing an English magazine gun from n window against the battery which is cannoaad- ing them.

student. Fought Desperately.

Moscow, Dec. 23.-There are many re- voiting scenes at F'idler School after students had raised the white flag and come out, they were charged. ridden down and sabred by the 1ragoons The revolution cries retaliated wherever they caught an officer alone and on the slightest resistance he was beaten into in sensibility. Telegraph poles, blanks and barrels and any material available was used in the construction of many bafricades which sprang up all over the city and as soon as another was destroyed another went up as by magic at a different place.
 The crowds fought -sith greet stub- hornness. using principally revolvers and hand grenades, but many hundreds of persons had ri les and repeatedly stood .their ground, even while they were being mown down by quick firing guns. tt
 Many innocent persons were killed among them a number of women. Many bodies were blown to pieces by shrapnel, On Tyerskaia Street, where the CT owds were enf1la1e1, the losses were heavy.
 Girl students were conspicuous be- hind the barricades. either carrying wounded or taking their places in the ranks and cheering on their comrades.

At St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 24--(12:20 a. m. ) The news of the terrible bloodshed at Moscow has created a great sensation here and renders the situation much graver
 It furnishes the necessary stimulus to fire the waning passions of the pro letariat and their leaders can be relied upon to use 1t to the full They claim that their own reports show conclu- siveIy that the troops were deliberate ly ordered to break in on peaceful de- monstrations in order to provoke a general conflict and that the only re- course left was to fight back in self defense.
 The walters union of St. Petersburg struck yesterday and practically closed all the restaurants and hotels by forc- ing the walters by threats of violence to join the strike. As the hotels are crowded with land owners and refugees in the provinces many of them last night had actual difficulty in finding a place to procure food.
 In addition to the usual political de- mands, the union asks that the "Chele- vok" be discontinued and that tips to the extent of 10 per cent. shall be reg ularly included in the bills of patrons as it is degrading to receive gratuities from customers.

 1 St. Petersburg. Dec. 23.-(11:15 p. m) The situation at Moscow tonight is | exceedingly critical.
 A regular battle is raging in the streets of the city and state of terror ! reigns. A telephone message just re- I ceived by the Associated Press says that the drumming of machine guns, volleys by infantry and the booming of cannon can be heard at intervals. The military seems to have the upper , hand, although there are rumors that the gendarmerie and the Cossacks have | revolted and have refused to fire on | the people. According to this tele- phonic message, which was very con- fused, owing to the excitement under | which the sender was laborlng. the rev.
 olutionary leaders had given the signal for an armed rising of the proletariat at o'clock this evening, but Governor General Doubasoff discovered their |. plans and acted quickly.
 He massed 25.000 troops of all arms in
 Red Place, under the walls of the Kremlin. mounted machine guns In the ! towers of the old Chinese walls posted artillery at inteivals. encircling the Tverskaiai boulevard and placed heavy
