wound was an inch and half long.
AS stated, Mr.. Curtis is large, strong

found on deck, and that he killed him
in self-defense. Cokeley, he claimed,
hit him with a stick and shot at him
when he was bound. He attempted
no explanation of why he had been
bound except that his companions
wanted to get rid of him after the
trouble. He said he saw CokeIey
shoot the mate and saw Adams kill

ALL KILLED BY ONE.
Testimony of the AIutineers Captured

Wilmington n. c., Oct. 13.-Her

from the fearful butchery following
the mutiny aboard ship early Tues
day morning off the North Carolina
coast the four-masted schooner Harry
A. Berwind, of Philadelphia, was
towed into Southport by Wilmington
tugs. Aboard were the prize crew Of
King, who were wanted as witnesses
against the three negroes shackled
and brought to Cape Fear quarantine
station on Wednesday, charged with
mutiny and murder.
At the preliminary investigation be-
fore United States Commissioners
Collier of Wilmington and Primer Of
Southport, the men who boarded the
Berwind told the story of conditions
on the vessel as they found them, and
duced at their own request. They gave
their names as Robert Sawyer, Henry
Scott and Arthur Adams, all negroes
and under 40 years of age. Sawyer
and Adams employed counsel and
both charged that Scott did the kill

ton of Captain Rumill, who disap-
peared before daybreak Tuesday
morning in a manner of which they
knew nothing. Each said he saw
Scott shoot the mate on the lee side
of the ship and throw his body over
board. Then he killed the engineer
and went down the cOmpanionway.
Very soon they heard shots below
deck in the galley, and a short while
thereafter Scott came up again. bear

FOB BETTER SERVICE.
j. B. Case Makes Novel Proposition
Concerning Freight Rates.

J. B. Case of Abilene, one Of the
leading merchants Of his town, and d
prominent boss buster was in To-
peka today. and expressed some novel
views on the freight rate situation in
central Kansas.
What Kansas wants. said Mr.. Case.
sis not a reduction in freight rates. but
better service. If I could get better
service. both passenger and freight.
would gladly pay the present freight
rates. and might be willing to pay even
more than present rates.
Il was in Saline. not long ago, and
was talking with II. D. Lee about this
rate fight in. which he is interested.

600, and now / can look around me
and see with my own eyes property

to admit that he thought I might be
right about it,
Now take it in my own case. am
interested IN the Continental Creamery

that business, people said We could
never build up a big central creamery
such as we proposed. We kept pound
ing away on the question u better

or reductions Pm rates; we told the rail-
road companies to charge us a fair
price, and we would stand for it. But
we fought for better train service. And
now we have special milk trains run
ming over a number of different lines,
hauling our milk and cream to To-
peka. We have built up a big business
right on this line, and every industry
can be built up the same way. Ser
vice is the great thing: if the railroad
board should devote its attention to
better train service, we could wait a
while for the lower rates; they would
come in due time
when I started into business. I
asked only two things of the railroad
companies; first, that they give me
good train service. and, second, that
they give me an equal show with my
competitor If there is anything that
competitor is getting the best of me
by some secret deal. Give me a fair
field and no favOrs and I viii look out
for myself
In response to a question as to who
would benefit by a reduction in freight
rates, Mr.. Case admitted that it would
be the consumer. He said that com
petition would reduce prices to the
amount of whatever reduction in
freight rates might be made. But by
improved train service he figured that
the merchants themselves would be
deriving some advantages.
