GOVERNOR FOLD ON TRAIL
OF LYNCHERS OF NEGRO
Denounces Mob Members as Murder
ers and VIII Bring Them to

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo. Nav Ii
Governor Folk to-day made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the negro
lynching in southeastern Missouri:
No matter how deserving of death the negro
may have been how dastardly his crime, it
is murder for mob to hang him.
1t is Just much of cffense in the eyes
OF the law for mob to kill a guilty person
it would be TO lynch an innocent one We
must have government By law and not by
mobs and those who take part in such law
lessness do at their peril
The Attorney General has been directed to
investigate the matter and assist the Pros
ecuting attorney of the county in bringing TO
justice those participating In this crime
Lynchng cannot and will not be tolerated in
Missocri.
kidnapping has been capital offense
in Missouri ever since 1901, the time
of the kidnapping of Cudahy's child at
Omaha. The statute expressly applies
to the holding of persons for ransom
and exactly covers the case of the
southwestern Missouri negro, who,
doubtless. would have met the same
fate a few months later If the law had
been allowed to take it's course.

LIFEBOAT GOES
TO The RESCUE
Lone Fisherman Taken Off
a Rock at Bakers Beach
by the Fort Point Crew
STRANDED FOR HOURS
Thomas MonsOn Forgets to
Watch the Tide and Has
an Exciting Experience

Thomas Monson Of 521 Thirtieth
street stationed himself on rock at
Bakers Beach yesterday afternoon and
became so busily engaged in pulling in
big rock cod, sea bass and other deni-
zens of the deep that he forgot all
about the treacherous tide that was fast
coming in. Shortly after s o'clock he
realized his perilous position, and after
calling for aid for more than two hours
was finally rescued by the crew or the
Fort Point life-saving station.
1t was when Monson had filled his
bag and got ready to start home that
he discovered that he was entirely sur
rounded by water and the beach was
hundreds of feet away. The water was
still rising and the treacherous break
ers dashed wickedly against the rock
on which he was perched.
Not soul was in sight on the beach.
Monson flashed distress signals. shout
ed at the top of his voice and did
everything within his power to attrsct
the attention of some wanderer on the
sand. But all in vain. No one saw him
and his cries were unheard by all save
the sea gulls and the porpoises.
For more than two hours Monson
continued to cry for aid and signal to
an ina ginary passer-by. He knew that
the tide would soon wash him on the
rock, and perhaps carry him out to
sea- The situation was beginning to
look desperate when the life-saving
crew spied the lone fisherman on the
rock and came to his rescue In boat.
Monson was all worn out and wet to
the skin when rescued, but smiled once
again when he looked at the full bag,
which was also saved.

TELLS STORY
OF CAPTURE
Captain of the Steamer
Dollar Is Back
From Japan.

OF all the passengers aboard the ST
IBERIA none had a more interesting story
TO tell than that of Captain H. c
Cross, commander of the American
steamer H. NJ. Dollar. which was re-
Gently captured by the japanese Gov
ernment while attempting to run the
blockade at Vladivostok. The H. M
Dollar is still in the hands of the Jap
anese awaiting the decision of the
High Prize Court, which is holding
sessions in Toxic. Captain Cross tells
with many thrilling details of his pur-
suit by the Japanese and their uiti-
mate capture of his vessel and with a
frankness that plainly suggests that
the courageous Yankee mariner bears
no malice toward the little brown men
for taking away his vessel, and he
freely predicts that the Japanese court
will condemn the vessel and also forty
five others that have been captured
since the war commenced. Discussing
his experiences yesterday, the Captain
said:
We left San Francisco bound for vladivos-
tok on December 81 1904 and intended to go
quickest passage II possible. We reached the
straits on January % after very uneventful
passage. having the best of weather, except in
the last two or three days. To my surprise
with ice that passage was impossible. The
next feasible plan was TO go through the
Straits OF Tsugaru. where. though knew that
the japanese were watch, / thought that
we might get through under cover of night.
But my hopes went astray. On the night OF
January 26. at IL oclock. just we were be-
ginning to feel safe. noticed a vessel coming
from the opposite direction past US. The
stranger showed no lights and as she got past
nearly three miles thought we had escaped
detection. when suddenly she threw her search
light on US Then We knew that she had
seen US but still had hopes of escaping as
after one fash OF light she did not make any
appearance for nearly two hours
At O'Clock. however. heard two guns

Trouble From

China Is Patiently
Awaiting End of
the War.

The Pacific Mail steamship Siberia,
which arrived in port from the Orient
yesterday, brought among her cabin
passengers a number OF notables, most
prominent OF whom was Z. H. Conger.
for the past seven years American
Minister to China, who has been ele-
waited TO the position of American En-
bassador 10 Mexico. The diplomat is
accompanied by Mrs. Conger and Miss
Campbell and expects to leave for the
southern republic in a few days. His
successor at Peking, Minister w. w.
Rockhill. who recently passed through
San Francisco. arrived in the Orient
the day after ambassador Conger left.
In discussing affairs in the Orient and
his new post in Mexico, Mr.. Conger
said last evening at the Occidental
Hotel:

course. the situation is somewhat critical in

but as yet no serious difficulties have arisen

that is that China believes and properly so

TWO TEMBLORS FELT
ON HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

HONOLULU, May s.-There were two
rather heavy tremblors in Hilo on May
3. the motion seeming to come from all
points of the compass at the same
time. The first quake was light for the
first two seconds and increased in vio-
lence until the motion ceased ten sec
onds later. This is considered the
haviest shake Hilo has had in nine
years. At the volcano the shock was
quite distinct
The second shock was as severe, IL
not more so, than the first. The clap
per In the Foreign Church bell was
dashed twice against the bell. There
was considera BILE excitement among
members of the Japanese colony and
the women ran out of the houses in
fear. At Saint Joseph's convent there
was an overturning of glassware and
dishes.
