HEAVY FINES ASSESSED
Lawyers Of tho Defendants lncensed
over Action Of Clients and Ask
Court to Withdraw Their
Names from Case.

W. F. Crawley, a lawyer Of Way.
cross, and T. J. Mcmillan, former sher.
III of Ware county, Wednesday plead.
ed guilty before Judge Speer in thu
United States court at Savannah on
charge Of peonage and were fined
s., 900 each, which was afterwards re.
duced to $500 on condition there
should be no further violation Of the
law.
In passing sentence the judge r.
marked tha this vast the last time
there will be such light sentence for
this crime in his court. He says that
there can be no more peonage for debt
in his district.
Messrs. Osborne and Lawrence, who
were among the attorneys for the 40.
cused, stood out to the last during the
consultation Oh, the lawyers as to the
advisability Of pleading guilty. They
wanted the case fought to the end.
Just before the plea was entered MI.
Osborne asked the court to have his
firms name stricken from the list OF
attorneys representing the defense.
This was done.
The defendants were charged In
four indictments with selling a color.
ed woman against whom no warrant
was issued to McRae Brothers for a
consideration of $50. The woman, i,
was alleged, was advised by the sher.
III and attorney that she had been
convicted and fined, and served nine
months in the McRae convict camp
Another charge Is that the defendants
took from Jail two boys convicted Of
stealing a watermelon, who had been
sentenced without a fine alternative
and sold them to McRaes for $65. The
McRaes pleaded guilty at the last term
and Swere fined $1,000 each.
l... George P. Hart and M. H. Cobb
two negro physicians Of Waycross
were also put on trial to answer charg
es of peonage. Both pleaded guilty
whereupon they were sentenced by
Judge Emory Speer to pay a fine OF
$1,000 each, $500 Of which is remitted
during good behavior. Cobb paid
his fine and Hart went to Jail.
It was shown that they had pro
cured the arrest Of negro girl upon
claims for professional services rem
dered and had sold her into condl
ton of practical servitude. The judge
told the defendants that it was bad
enough when white men act toward
negroes as the defendants were shown
to have acted toward the girl, but thai
| It Is worse when negroes are guilty
Of such injustice toward members OF
their race. He said he was afraid
that had the two doctors remained In
Africa they would have been in tie
slave business, stealing blacks from
one village and selling them else
where as slaves.

Warsaw Police Chief and Halt Dozen
Aides Wounded by Deadly missiles
Thrown by Terrorists.

A bomb Was thrown into the car
riage Of Baron Won Nolken, chief Of
police OF Warsaw, Russian Poland. at
O'Clock Sunday evening. It was re-
ported that the baron was severely
wounded.
According to the latest information
the attack on the baron was the re-
suit OF an elaborate conspiracy Of the
revolutionary party.
Shortly before o'clock an elegantly
dressed man went to the police station
at Praga, a large suburb OF Warsaw
On the other side Of ahe Vlstula, and
threw a bomb into the courtyard OF
the station, wounding seven persons,
two Of them dangerously. The man
started to run away, but was caught
by the captain OF the station. He was
found 10 be Jew. but his identity has
not yet been discovered.
A telephone message was immedi'.
ately sent to Baron Won Nolken at the
city hall informing him OF the out
rage. Baron Won Nolken, accompae
MED by police official, took car,
riage and started Immediately for Pra-
ga When passing the castle where
the governor general resides, q man
standing on the pavement threw
bomb at the carriage.
Baron Won Nolken, who was sitting
on the side nearest the assailant, re-
ceived tho full charge OF the bomb,
while his companion escaped unhurt.
The eoachman wes thrown from the
box and the carriage smashed.
Baron Won Nolken was removed to
the city hall and doctors were sum-
moned, who found he had received m
juries ON tie head, neck, arm and leg,
which are believed to be serious.
Meanwhile the police official accom-
panying Baron Won Nolken saw the
bomb thrower fleeing and pursued and
caught up with him, but the criminal
proved stronger and tore himself
away.
Another policeman fred twice after
him without result. Half an hour
later a man was found dead In Sowia
street, whom the police believed to be
the bomb thrower.
According to later information the
tomb which exploded at the Prasa
police station was not thrown into the
courtyard, but into room OF the sta
ton where the men assembled were
going on duty. Six policemen were
wounded, and all the furniture, as wen
as one wall, was destroyed. The
bomb thrower in trying to escape met
a policeman and shot twice, woundinS
the officer in the stomach. The pris-
oner himself was wounded, and has
been placed In the hospital.
The man found dead in Sowia street
rroves to be a plain clothes police
man who was seen pursuing Baron
Won Nolke, assailsnt. The police
believe that the latter turned on the
policeman and shot him dead.
A few days ego the Warsaw police
discovered eighty bombs hidden IN
brick grave in the Powonski ceme-
terry.

TROPICAL TREES LITTLE KNOWN.
A Mueh-NegIected Field of Botanical
 Study.

Mueh-NegIected Field of Botanical
 Study.
 According to an expert in the Bureau of Forestry of the Department of Agri- culture. there is. comparatively speak ing, little known concerning tropical trees, and this, despite the fact that naturalists and botanists are constant ly exploring the regions near the equator. Indeed. it is stated that there must be many hundreds of varie- ties that have been little known and that are unidentified by name.
 This curious factzis due to tho excep- tional conditions of the tropical fog ests. In temperate zones forests are fairly open, and, generally speaking, include trees of only few varieties. Thus there are oak forests, hickory forests, etc. but rarely any forests where more than three or four kinds of trees exist in any number.
 In the tropics, on the other hand, the case is exactly the opposite. For ests composed of one variety of tree, or even of only three or four kinds, arc practically unknown. So many dif- ferent sorts of trees grow closely together that frequently more than 100 varieties may be counted within a short radius. Moreover. all these grow to. gether in great confusion. They tower 
 would seem. striving its best to reach the sunlight. Consequently the trunks are extremely long and thin, because each tree is reaching to get higher than it's neighbors. in order to escape the twilight of the primeval, forest. Leaves and branches are so confused that in many forests one can see neither sky nor sunlight for miles, the crowns of the trees interlacing and forming a thick. impenetrable roof. To add to this confusion great vines and creepers and hundreds of varieties . of vegetable parasites oYergrow the trunks.
 It is said that it is well-nigh impos- sible to cut down any one tree for pur- poses of examination. for the reason that the forest is SO dense that there is insufficient room for the tree to fall, even after It's trunk has been cut through. It would be necessary to clear great space. and that is impractica = ble from the standpoint of the natural ist or bOtanist. Hence the world is still in comparative ignorance of the wonders of the tropic forest

 She did not appear to hear his last remark. for she entered his room, say ing: T felt that I could depend on you, for know you are my friend. What a beautiful fire" she continued, seat ing herself on the sofa before the grate and moving her draperies to one side to make room for him. Mir. Sissop sat down beside her. How lovely this ls," she said, lean- ing back comfortably. so as to dis close a pretty foot and ankle. 'It is so convenient" she continued, "to be located as we are. We can have many a delightful talk when my hrusband is away. Don't yo uthink so?'' Her golden hair was around her neck. and as she sat beside him a stray curl touched his face. Indeed. this is pleasant" he re- ! marked, lifting the curl and kissing it.
 How foolish you are" she said, and she leaned toward him with a strange | light in her eyes. Strange thoughts went through the mind of the banker and, spurred into
  her neck and drew her closer. She did not resist, but looked into his face : with a bright and loving glance. Talk | ing his face between her hands, she pressed her lips to his in long and | loving kiss and finally, releasing him. she leaned back on the couch, signing heavily.

 He seized her hands and pulled her to her feet. Then, leading her to the door between their rooms. shook hands with her saying: 'Good-niBht, sleep In peace," and, closing the door between them, he bolted 1t and returned to the couch before the fire. The next morning Mrs. Anthrobus was not at the breakfast table and did not see Mir. Sisson before his de- parture to the bank.
 At dinner time the banker was not present, and Mrs. Cantwell, In answer to inquiries, said that he had given up his room that day and that an express man had called for his baggage.
 In spite of her self-control, Mrs. An throbus colored and, going out after dinner, she went to the nearest tele- graph flee and sent the following mes sage to MT. Anthrobus: He nibbled, but would not bite, and has disap- peared."
