 ocratic Nominees.

 NJ ferson Davis, widow of the presi- dent of the Confectionery, who had been i'll for week at the Hotel Majes- tic in this city, died at 1925 o'clock to- night.
 Death was due to pneumonia induced by severe cold which Mrs. Davis con- tracted upon her return from the Adiron- dacks where she had spent the summer months Although grave fears were felt from the first, Mrs. Davis wonderful vi- tality which brought her safely through a similar attack a year ago, gave hope of ultimate recovery until last night when decided change for the worse was evi- dent and the attending physicians an- nounced that the end was near.

SOUTHERN MAN ID
 LOOK INTO PEONAGE
Russell Will Represent Govern-
 ment in the South
FORMULATE GENERAL PLAN
Attorney General Thinks Problem of Determining Where the Responsi- bility Lies for Peonage Is
 Very Difficult.

Washington, October 16.-(Special )-As department of justice will probably leave for the south tomorrow, under special as- signment of the attorney general to rep resent the government in the investiga- tion of peonage charges and the prosecu ton of cases against the defendants al- ready indicted. At present there are cases pending in Jacksonville Pensacola and Knoxville. In the latter case there are a number of joint defendants under in- dictment for offenses in Tennessee.
 It is the wish of the southern people that MT. Russell be sent. He is a native of Virginia and a democrat. MT. Russell IS not only expected to have the depart ments interests in the pending cases, but to investigate as many parts of the south as possible with the view of determining a general policy that will help eradicate the evil In announcing his selection the attorney general sad:
 Attorney General Makes Statement.
 ''In regard to the so-called peonage prac- tices in some of the southern states, l have decided to send MT. Russell to Flor
 
 after the various prosecutions and other matters connected with compulsory labor there. I have selected Mir. Russell be- cause of the fact that he is a southern man, a democrat and familiar with con- ditions existing in the south The problem in determining where responsibility lies for peonage is a difficult one. Tn some states it is based in part on the system of leasing the labor of convicts and other offenders Contractors have thus secured the general control of bodies of men from penltentiaries and iails and with the au- thority of state law and regulation, have kept them at work of course, being re- auired to guard them and prevent es- capes. Thus the scheme of stockades. etc., developed.
 Cause of General Question. .1t is said that out of this system of convict leasing grows the general peonage question It Is difficult to determine where | the states proper right to control the services of convicts ends and where the government rights begin. MT. Russell will probably be detained in the south on his investigation for some time"

FRENCH SUBMARINE
 GOES DOWN FOR GOOD
Lutin is Thought to Be in the
 Mediterranean
DISAPPEARED YESTERDAY
Powerful British Salvage Apparatus Will Be Taken From Malta to Assist In Raising the
 Vessel.

Bserta, Tunis, October 16.-The French submarine Lutin left this port this morn ing for plunging experiments. Signals re- ceved at 10 o'clock tonight reported her disappearance. Two torpedo boats and three tugs have gone out in search of the submarine. No further news of her nas been received.
 Lutin is d single screw steel submarine boat and carries a complement of nine men. It now appears almost certain, ac- cordng to news received at late hour tonight, that the crew of the Lutin has suffered fate similar to that which overlook the crew of the submarine Far fadet here last year. The crew of the Lutin number IA men under command of Lieutenant Phoepen.
 Admiral Bellue, commander of the Tunis naval division, who went out on board tug returned at a late hourt to- night and said that owing to heavy seas and the obscurity it was impossible to continue salvage operations until dawn.
 British Apparatus to Assist.
 The tugs and torpedo boats, however, will remain near the place where the Lutln made her final plunge all through the night. One of these boats reports that it's drag encountered resistence as though a vessel were lying at the bot tom. The government salvage steamers belonging to this port which are at pres ent absent to assist in raising French schooner wrecked on the coast, will re- turn in the morning and proceed the work. The British consul general here proposed to the French resident consul general to telegraph to the British admiralty at Nal ia for salvage assistance. This offer was accepted and powerful salvage apparatus will be sent at once to the scene of the catastrophe.
