cut one of his mules in terrible
manner. One cash was "a inches
long. commencing on top OF it's

it's flank, besides other cute. The
cuts ranged from ! to 2 inches in
depth. Brown fastened the mule
up in the stable when he fed at
night. In the morning he found,
the mule in the lot, and also the
bride. Brown says whoever did
the cutting must have bridled the
mule and taken il out in the lot to
do his dsstsrdly work. About :
feet of good rope would be the
best II edicine in such cases. If
the mule lives it is ruined.

(Ry the Associated Press.)

Baltimore. Dec. 29.-The sessions of
the American Economic Association
were resumed today. the chief subject
for discussion being THE Economic
Future of the Negro The discus
sion was participated in by Charles L.
Raper, University of North Carolina;
II. c. Bruce, Tuskegee Institute; and
Theodore Marburg, of Baltimore. w.
E. b. Dubois. of Atlanta University,
and Alfred Holstone. of Mississippi,
read papers.
The greatest fact in the negroes
past economic history, Mr.. Stone be-
lieveS to have been the absence of
white competition in the South. The
graVest factor in his future is the
steady increase of such competition.
He quoted numerous negro authorities
on the subject of this competition in
Northern cities in driving negroes in
TO menia! occupations, and concluded
that the masses of the race had but
little to hope for in this section. In
fact, the leaders of the negro, with
singular unanimity agree that the des>
tiny of their people must be worked
out in the South. and upon the soil.
Hence the question of white competi-
tions in the South becomes one of par
amount Importance.

by himself. showing the comparative
result obtained by negroes and Ital-
ians growing cotton side by side. The
figures covered q series of years, and
showed that when the two classes
worked under identical conditions. on
the same plantation. the Italian ac-
complished very much more than the
negro, both i'm the amount of cot
ton produced and in the matter of saw
ing what he earns. Mr.. Stone says
that the ability of the white foreign-
er successfully to grow cotton in COM
petition with the negro is no longer a
matter of ouestonor experiment. AS
to the extent to which ther will come
into the South and supplant the ne
gro, he does not express an opinion,
but thinks it will largely depend on
the negro himself. If the latter con-
tinues to invite such competition, by
his improvidence and unreliability, un-
questionably it will come. When il
does come there seems to be nothing
in such a situation TO prevent a repe-
tition Of the disastrous results already
witnessed in the North.

SIMPSON HELD FOR MURDER.
Mrs. HOrner, Wife of the Dead Man,
the Principal Witness
(By the Associated Press.)

inquest held here today over the body
Of BARLEY T. Horner, who was shot
and killed by his Son-in-laW, DR.. j..
w. Simpson, q New York dentist, DR..
Simpson was held on a charge of
murder by the coroner and was taken
at once to the prison at Riverhead,
there to await the action of the grand
jury.
Mr. Horner was for years the South
ern representative of the Lorillard
tobacco firm, and was worth about
100000. At the inquest Mrs Horner,
the widow, was the most important
witness
''Dr. simpson, she declared, ."said
in my hearing the night of the shoot
ing that he wished the old man,
meaning my husband, was dead. He
said this after the subject of my hus-
bands will had been broached. A
few months ago my husband made up
his mind to have his will changed. He
said he wanted it fixed so that the
fortune would not be squandered by
DR.. Simpson after his death
My husband had frequently gotten
him out of financial straits and he was
afraid that after he died he would use
up all the fortune. The lawyer ar
ranged to come to our house yester-
day. On Wednesday my son-in-laW
arrived from New York and at the
supper table declared that the will
could not be changed; that such q
thing was not possible. Then he made
the remark that he wished Mr.. Horner
was dead"

Miss Rocsevelt's Right TO Privacy.
(New York Tribune.)

(NeW Ork IrlDune.)
The President displays his good
sense in promptly putting stop to the
plan for raising large sum of money
by popular subscription as a wedding
present to his daughter. Such a thing
could not fail to be embarrassing to
Miss Roosevelt herself as well as
offensive to the President and extreme
ly unfortunate SO far as it might tend
to affect the relation between the Pres
idents family and the people. The
Presidents family are rightly treated
everywhere with distinguished courtesy
but they are self-respecting private
citizens, who neither have official
claims to tribute nor ask charity.
Wedding gifts are, or should be. the
offerings of personal and family
friends and a sum made up by an or
ganized appeal for an individual per-
sonally unknown to almost all the sub
scribers would lack every quality
which properly attaches to such a gift.
1t is to be hoped that an American
young woman, even when her father is
President, wiz be allowed to enjoy hei
romance and marry in decent privacy,
as an American young woman should.

NO POWER TO AMALGAMATE.
Provisional Decision of the Inter-
Collegiate Football Rules
Committee.
DIV the Associated Press. }

Philadelphia, Dec. 29.--The inter-
collegiate football rules committee,
after a prolonged discussion here to-
night, decided that its members had
no power to amalgamate with the
committee of seven appointed by the
New York University conference with
out first consulting their respective
universities. The old committee VIII
communicate with the new commit
tee as soon as possible. This deci-
sion was reached after a conference
with the New York conference COM
mittee at which the latter proposed
an amalgamation of the, committees
to be known as the national rules
committee. Subsequent to making its
decision. the old committee invited
the members of the new committee
to join them in an informal discus
sion of suggested changes in rules,
which they accepted. The joint meet
ing continued until long after mid
night.
1t was the intention of the original
football rules committee to take up
the suggestions made by its members
at a meeting held here three weeks
ago, but the program was disarranged
by the action yesterday of the New
York conference. There was much
interest manifested as to what sug-
gestions Harvard had to offer In the
way of reform rules, because of the
conference Mr.. Reid had with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Harvard is the only
institution represented on the old
committee that has not yet presented
it's ideas for eliminating the objec-
tionable features of the game.
Whether Mr.. Reid was prepared to
present his suggestions is not known.

New York, Dec. 29.-With the ad-

tee on insurance investigation tonight
the investigation Of the last of the
old line companies was completed. To-
morrow, the last day of the commit

States Life Insurance Company was
completed and the Manhattan Life
Insurance Company was taken up.

pany, was a witness.
The last old line company taken up
was the Life Insurance Club of New

examination of it's president, Robt.
Wightman, it was brought out that
the system is antagonistic to the larger
companies.
