CONDITIONS IN THE CONGO.
Report of LeOpOld's Investigating
Commission KOISOnumcs That As
tute PO.cntate.
(By the Associated Press. }

Brussels, Nov. 4.-The Belgian gov
eminent win make public tomorrow
the report of the commission appoi.N-
ID by King Leopold to Investigate
the conditions in the Congo Independ-
ent state and the charges made against
the administration of the Congo. The
Associated Press was given access to
the report which, while praising the
notable work Belgium has ac-
complished frankly crticises a num-
ber of abuses. The following are ex-
tracts from the report:
"Our voyage to the Congo produc-
ed an impression of adminiration
and wonder. Security reigns today in
country which twenty-five years
ago was plunged in barbarity, plum
dered by Arab tribes and streWn with
markets for human flesh. The slave
trade has now disappeared, cannibal-
ism seeks hiding and human sacri-
flee has become rare. Villages have
sprung up. railroads have been con-
structed to the head of the Equator
ial; forests. Steamers navigate the
rivers, the post and telegraph are in
operation: hospitals have been estab-
lished and governmental administra-
ton proceeds effectively in that vast
territory"
The report criticises the harsh
methods of enforcing taxes, condemns
holding women as hostage pending
the non payment of taxes and says
that to this custom are largely attrib-
utable the harshness Of the native
chiefs.
The commission lengthily examined
the charge of the mutilation of the
bodies of natives. Missionaries and
natives affirmed that they had seen
baskets containing score of sever
ed heads. The Rev. Mr.. Clark said
he saw a number of severed heads
which appeared to have been smoked
and several individual cases were
specified of natives having their hands
severed. Some of these natives ap-
peared before the commission.
The report points out that the mu-
tiIation Of their bodies is an ancient
custom of the natives and that all
the cases of -S1utilation presented were
attributable to natives. Ihe commls-
sion therefore concluded that there
was no testimony showing that the
whites had been guilty of mutilation.

The girl evidently had been murdered.
Her face had been disfigured by manv
cuts. there were finger marks on her
throat, and sto>,e weighing $50
pounds weighted down the body. The

"OLD HOSS" SALE.
Express Company Gives Some Prizes
While There arc Blank Faces.

The "Old Hoss" sale of the South
ern Express Company drew a large
crowd of buyers and much cash yes
terday morning when in the new
building being erected at the corner
of Wilmington and East Davie street
Mr.. Frank Stronach did the auction
cerinS.
An "Old Hoss'' sale is a sight. for
at it you buy "a pig in a bag without
knowing that it is a pig. Unclaimed
packages of the express company are
sold and the buyer just takes q
chance and if he bids too high he is
apt to get it lin the neck with a vari-
egated lot of things he don't want in
his possession, in place of cash he does
want.
Fire Chief John Mangum is said to
have been a winner, getting some SIS
worth of silk for sixty-fivc cents, but
that's an exceptional case A prom
inent citizen blew in $3.50 on a trunk
that looked as if it had business
within. but found only odds and ends,
but got rid of the outfit at an advance.
Bundles of circulars. stacks of old
calendars. bunches of jewClry cata-
logues. big books with advertisements
in them all were bought in for the
cash while patent medicines of all
kinds were opened up by the buyers
who at once looked sick. A dollar
watch at a cost of fifteen cents was a
first prize.
There were a great number of pack
ages sold. and the express company
pulled in $3.50 as the result of nearly
five hours of strenuous work by tho
auctioneer The men who won prizes
will tell you about it, but the men

1t is said that he will tell of the crap
game in the scarlet woman's house,
of Clarkes threat of his being in the
depot and just behind Lilliston when
the shooting began.
Clarke has had friends to rise up
for him. In the trial last week he
sat with no one but his counsel to give
comfort. The fakirs did not flock to
him. But in the meantime help has
come from New York where powerful
interests have shown their friendli-
ness, one friend having been here
last week to give counsel and aid. 1t is
even known that men high in Tam
many are bestirring themselves to aid
Clarke who is said to have never been
under arrest before. From the be-
ginning it has been stated by him
that he is a native of New Mexico,
Missouri, but had made New York
his headquarters. He is not friend
less and his lawyers declare they will
show him innocent of the killing of
Smith.
While there is scant belief that there
was any third person who shot Smith
while Clarke and Lilliston were plug
ging away at each other in the depot.
yet the rumor of this constantly bobs
up. 1t does not seem possible that
there could have been an eighth shot,
as no witness in the case has testified
to hearing more than seven. Clarke's
counsel accounts for his two shots by
saying one bullet was found in DR..
Horizons clothes, and that one is
proven to have gone high through
back window in the depot. Four of
Lilistons shots have left their mark
in the depot, the fifth he says went
out of the door, while the State SEEM
ingIy will contend that this shot was
the one that killed Smith, who had
jumped up from a nearby seat and
whom Lilliston is said to have jumped
behind. shooting him in the general
scramble between hir1 and Clarke.

Greensboro, N. c., Nov. 4-The In
dustrial News came out in fiaring head
lines this morning making its first To-
cal sensation by using half of it's front
page to convey the intelligence that
the Chief of Rolicc of Greensboro was
hankering after it's scalp in the shape
of q libel suit. 1t all grows out OF
that affair of three Sundays ago when
two men were arrested on Main street
here for being drunk and DIR. Griffith
brought charges against Chief of Po-
lice Neeley. and several other police
men, alleging brutal treatment of pris-
onerS by the officers. The board, of
aldermen eXonerated the accused from
all blame. The News reporter gave
an account of the trial of one of these
drunks before the mayor in it's issue
of October 10th which Chief Neeley
complains was not only incorrect and
false. but that the head lines to the
report were particularly libelous de-
famatory and false. He therefore
wrote the paper yesterday a demand
for a retraction and apology. The
News this morning prints the notice,
its subsequent interview with the
chief, his refusal to tell who his lawyer
was. his assertion that his lawyer told
him not to tell. desire of the publish
ers to consult with the attorney for
the purpose of reconciling matters,
persistent refusal of the lawyer to let
his name be known after the chiew
had had an opportunity to confer with
him by telephone out of the presence
of the editor and reporter of the
paper. The paper then says it hasn't
anything to retract, that its report of
the trial was fair and accurate and as
good as tells Chief Neeley to "crack
his whip and go ahead"
From the fact that other policemen
who were engaged in the arrest of the
drunken men. the report of whose
trial in the Industrial News caused
Grief of Policy Neeley to serve no
tice on the News to retract have served
similar notices on the paper today, it
would seem that the treatment the
paper gave the chiefs notice in the
paper this morning was not apprecf7
ated and that it will have several libel
