DEATH DEALT FOR "oIsLOYALTY."
Russian Student Loses Lie for Refusal to
Honor the Old Regime.

A st. Petersburg dispatch says: A
tragedy in which a student paid his
life, the penalty Of refusing to do hon
or to the old regime, took place in
the famous restaurant, THE Bear, "
shortly after midnight Sunday night.
The annual ceremony of watching the
old year out was being observed. Up
on the stroke of midnight the orches-
ira burst forth with God Save the
Emperor"
The guests, with the exception Of
a student named Davidoff, a member
of an aristocratic family, rose to their
feet and the officers present demand
ed an encore, being determined to
turn the celebration into loyalist
demonstration.
Count Sherometief applied an cpl
tibet to Davidoff for refusing to hoMo,
the national anthem and pulled his
chair from under him. Hot words
followed and suddenly in the mioet
of Joyous reclamation of new year,
the guests were startled by five shots
in rapid succession, and the corpse
of the student lay on the floor.

.SOLONS TALK
OF THE TARIFF
Democrats Show Where They Stand
Regarding tie Question
DISCUSSION WAS GENERAL
Opportunity Presented During Consid-
Grafton Of Philippine Measure.
Mrs. Morris Case Mentioned.

A vigorous speech in favor of the
Philippine tariff bill by Mr.. Dalzeu
of Pennsylvania opened the proceed
ings in the house Wednesday. 1t was
followed by several others against
the measure, most notable of which
was a twohour address by the veter-
an statesman, Mr.. Keller of Ohio, an
.ex-spealler, who returns to the house
\ fter retirement Of twenty years. Mr..
Keifer bespoke ''stand pat" doctrine
of the most pronounced tyre, and said
he should oppo se the pending bill, be-
cause it was a CONCESSION to the dem
ocratic principles.
Opposition to the bill was made be
cause of fear of rice competition by
Mr. Pujo of Louisiana.
AS the result Of an inter Option,
Champ Clark of Missouri made this
comment regarding the Dingley tariff
law: Il think it is an Internal curse
to the whole American people"
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader,
interjected into Mr.. Pujo's speech
what he considered the exact demo
cratic position on the tariff.
At should be levied solely with
regard to The maximum revenue pro-
duetion.. Il it protec5s in certain
places, well and good; but that should
not be its primary object"
Mr.. Williams explained that his
party did not believe in free trade,
and that the declaration in its plat.
form that all forms Of protection are
robbery, to which attention was call
ed by Mr.. Grosvenor, did not mean
free trade.
The recent election Of Mrs. Minor
Morris from the white house Office
was made the subject of remarks by
Mr.. Sheppard of Texas.
Messrs. Payne and Gro2venor raised
the point of order that Mr.. Sheppard
was not discussing the l1Il under con
sideration, but the point was not sus-

continued, saying:
fIf the president had heard the howl
of a wolf or the growl of a bear in
the adjoining room, he would have
been on the scene Immediately"
He characterized the occurrence as
an "unwarrantable and unnecessary
brutality, which demanded investiga-
ton and merited censure."
eff congress" he continued, com
posed of American fathers, husbands,
brothers, permits this incident to go
unrebuked, it will add a passive ard
cowardly approval Of this violation Of
the most sacred principle of American
life"
Mr.. Grosvenor replied, saying that
congress was not a police court, and
that he did not believe a sensation
should be spread abroad damaging to
the character of the American admin
istration.
The house adjourned until Thurs,
day.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Reduction Of Acreage Was Proposition
Discussed at Closing Days Session
in New Orleans.

With the matter acreage as the
most important question remaining to
be settled, the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION began the last day Of its
work in New Orleans Saturday morn
ing. The question of permanent
headquarters, the election of officers
and the proposition to establish an Of
fetal organ will be settled by the ex.
ecutive committee at its sessions to
be held later.
The executive committee will also
arrange to put into effect the plan
Of holding the remainder of the cot
ton for Is cents. 1t is directed to
select one representative of the as
ISOLATION from each state and terrific
ry, one banker from each state and
territory and five cotton men at large
to perfect the following plan:
The adoption of a form of contract
by which the farmer or owner of cot
ten can deposit with his banker the
receipts or pledges to hold his cotton
for Is cents, the contract to provide
that the cotton cannot be sold for less
than Is cents, basis middling, at
southern ports, except with the con
sent of this committee. The owner
of the cotton has full power and au-
hority to sell this cotton at Is cents
or over, the banker to retain cent
per pound to be held in trust until
such time as all of this cotton 50
pledged has been disposed Of when
this committee will meet and arrange
disposition of the balance as the
interest may appear.
A resolution by NJ. V. Calvin or
Georgia was adopted, instructing the
executive committee to publish for
distribution of 100000 copies Of the
proceedings of the convention.
Hon. John Temple Graves of Geor-
gia was introduced ana addressed the
convention. He was given a special
vote Of thanks.
At the opening of the afternoon
session, Chairman w. D. Nesbitt pre-
scented the report of the committee
on warehouses. 1t recommended the
extension and improvement OF the
present warehouse system.
Chairman Hancock reported for the
finance committee. 1t provided for
dues of 10 cents per bale, allowing 20
per cent to national fund, 80 per cent
to the state fund and the remainder
to the county fund. The executive
committee was requested to employ
Hon. E. D. Smith of South Carolina
as national organizer to more com
pletely organize the various states:
The association completed its labors
with it's afternoon session and adj
journed without delay. Declaring the
adjournment, President Jordan con-
graduated the convention on the sue
cessfHl manner in which it had per
formed it's work. The new executive
committee will meet in New Orleans
the coming week and arrange to carry
out the various recommendations
which have been made by the con
vention 1t will probably be in ses
sion for two or three days.

"WHERE IS THE MONEY"
Is What CoIored Policy Holders in an
Atlanta Insurance Company Want
to Know--GO to Court.

An insurance investigation has been
started in Atlanta, Ga, by three ne
groes, policyholders in the Industrial
Life and Health Insurance company, a
local institution.
The investigation takes the form
of suit for 100000 and for injunc-
ton on behalf of all the policy hold
ers OF the company, the defendants
being J. N. McEachern, president; l.
M. Sheffield, secretary; r. II. Dobbs,
]. Covington and j. N. McEachern.
as directors.
The plaintiffs are Estella Evans.
Laura Manning and Gus Davis, the
latter of whom sues in the name of
his next friend, Laura Manning.
They allege that the company,which
has Offices in the Austell building, and
which insures negroes almost exclu-
sively, is mutual concern, and that
they, as policy holders, have right
to participate in the distribution OF
all funds left over after the payment
of all claims and proper operating ex-
penses.
The several plaintiffs aver that they
have paid sums of from 10 cents to
rs cents a week each, and that nel-
Their Of them is now in any way be-
hind with his or her payments, or
in any way indebted to the company.
1t is alleged that in the last report
of the company the balance on hand
was set down as only $4,000, while,
it is alleged, this should have been
an amount Of from 100000 to $780,,
000 They charge that the officers OF
the company have in some way i'm
properly gotten rid OF or lost at least
100000 belonging to the policy hold
ers, and suit is brought for that
amount
The charge is specifically made that
since the year 1900 the officers of the
company have diverted $4,000 year
that justly should have gone to the
pollcyholders, who, by virtue of the
company being mutual, are also stock
holders.
The following allegations concern
ing the year 1903 are used as an illus
tration. 1t is alleged that the income
Of the company during that year was
S299,723.25, and that the claims paid
amounted to S93,42190, or $216,311.35
less than the income for the year. But,
it is alleged, OF this large excess over
claims all but $1,969.83 was got rid
Of in some way by the officers Of the
company, contrary to equity and
good morals"
l. is alleged that each pollcyholder
is compelled to give up his proxy to
one or two officers Of the company,
and that they now hold the proxies
of all policyholders, by which means,
it is alleged, the officers have managed
to maintain their control OF the COM
pany. 1t is alleged that President
McEachern administers the property
of the company as though it belonged
to him personally.
The further allegation is made that
the officers have threatened to wind
up the company and transfer all it's
business by February Is to new
company, for which charter has
been secured, and the name Of which
is to be the Atlanta Industrial Life
Insurance company.
If this alleged intent is carried out,
SO the petitioners declare, they win
be absolutely without recourse. There
fore, they ask an injunction forbid
ding the transfer.

Let us nominate men. for state Of

least endorse the President in his
glorious struggle for a square deal.
The last legislature was a corporation
body, at least a majority Of the senate
was under corporation control. Two
resolutions endorsing the President
in his fight for rate regulation were
turned down in what was called a re-
publican legislature. Think of it you
men who raise the wealth OF the state
