Nearo Wounds Another.

Jesse Boyd, colored, is in the city jail, charged with having attempted to take the life of Will Carr, another negro.
 The trouble occurred at the Brming- ham compress yesterday morning. From the story of Police Officer Hamilton, the trouble was the result of a quarrel over a woman. It seems that Will Carr, after the beginning of the trouble, advanced on Boyd with razor. Boyd took to his heels, and escaping, went in search of his pistol With the weapon concealed on his person, he returned to the scene of the trouble. and there renewed the quarrel When Carr attempted again to draw his razor, Boyd flashing his re- volver, fired twice. One of the bullets en- tered the negro's shoulder. It was his turn to flee, which he did, and escaped with his life. He was subsequently, cap tured and sent to the hospital.

.FORTY-.TWO LIVES
 LOST IN SEATTLE
Steamers Collide and One Sinks
 Immediately
BUT ONE WOMAN ESCAPES
Collision Occurred While the Sound Was as Smooth as a Pond and the Vessels Had Been Near
 Each Other Some Time.

Seattle, Wash. November 19.-Forty- ter in Seattle harbor, off Duwamish Head' when the little steamer Dix was run down by the Alaskan liner Jeannie.
 Thirty-segen of the seventy-nine pas sengers on the Dix were rescued or the five female passengers on the Dix the only one to escape was Alice Simpson, l5- year-old girl. She is believed to be the only person who escaped from the main deck of the steamer, where more than half of the Dix's passengers were shut in when the fatal crash came.
 1t is believed that the thirty-seven pas ser gers who were rescued include every person who was on the open deck of the Dix when the little craft plunged down stern foremost into 100 fathoms of Wa ter. It is doubtful whether she can be raised.
 The collision occurred while the sound was almost as smooth as mill pond, and after the boats had been steaming within sight of each other for a quarter of an hour.
 Was Backing When She colided.
 The Jeannie was backing when she col lided with the Dix, and the impact was very slight. The Dix was struck abaft of amidships on the starboard side. She listed heavily to port for a brief period, righted herself, then sank stern first. There was hardly time to launch life rafts or boats before she was almost entirely submerged. Passengers jumped from the decks into the water, women screamed and officers and men called orders that could hardly be heard above the din. The passengers from the Dix who could swim made their way to the sides of the Jean nie and were dragged aboard. The Jean nie was not moved until after picking up several who had managed to stay above water. It was after 10 o'clock before the Jeannie left the scene of the catastrophe and steamed to the Virginia street dock, Seattle, with her thirty-nine survivors.
 The Jeannie of the Alaska Coast com pany had finished unloading at the Great Northern docks at Smiths Cove, and had started for Tacoma shortly before O clock just about the same time the Dix left the drydock for Port Blakeley.
 No Passengers on Jeannle.
 There were no passengers on the Jean nie. The Dix was making the last trip of the night, and was well filled with passengers. When within about two miles north of Alki Point the two steamers were within short distance of each other, steamng along on converging lines. The captain of the Jeannie says he tignalled to the Dix to pass him and his whistle was answered. The Dix was then within speaking distance of the Jeannie and to the port of her. Suddenly Mate Dennison who was at the wheel of the Dix, put her hard over to starboard, as if to cross in front of the other vessel Captain Mason of the Jeannie, who was on the bridge saw that an accident was imminent and called out warning to the man at the wheel of the Dix.

JUSTICE WILL STOP WARS

Kansas City. Mo, November l9.-A world wide peace, substantial and endur- ing, made possible by closer commercial and friendly relations between nations, was the keynote of speech delivered here tonight by Elihu Root, Secretary ot State.
 Following MT. Root the diplomatic rep resentatives of five Latin American re- publics made speeches along the same line, offering trade extension between the countries of North and South America as means of bringing these countries into closer and lasting relations.
 The occasion was the twelfth annual banquet given by tho Kansas City Con- mercial club in commemoration of the signing of the John Hay commercial treaty Five hundred plates were laid, and many notable persons were present.
 Roots Speech.
 "In this time of vastimmigration,' said MT. Root, "this time of individual in vestment and ownership, of opportunities for enterprise and enlarged peaceful in- tercourse, and above all of steadily pro- giessng popular government, new di- plomacy has found place. It is a diplo- macy that answers not to the judgments of courts or sovereigns, but to the Judg- ment of great popular masses. It grows continually more through the sentiments. feelings and opinions of people to deter mine policies, decide upon the issues of peace and war and establish those sym- pathies between nations which are more powerful than written and signed treaties of alliance.
 eve already realize that the same rules of right conduct which obtain in our in- dividual intercourse with each other ap- ply also to our internal political actions, and the exercise of powers of self gov ernment.
 The People Control.
 "In the relations between nations which the great body of the people now control, there should be a general, all-prevailing and controlling sense that the same rules of conduct ought to be followed
 Mediation and arbitration are useful methods of solving international contro- versies without recourse to war but the true preventive of war is the willingness of the people of the world to be just to- wards one another; the strong desire of the people of the earth to be kind toward one another"
 Other Notables Sepaek
 Besides Secretary Root, speakers in the order of their rank. were: 1gnacio Cal deron. minister of Bolivia: Felipe Pardo , minister of Peru; Enrique Cortes, min ister of Colon:bia Syvino Gurgel Do Am arat, first secretary of the Brazilian le- gation; Alberto Yoacham, charge Chilean legation: John Barrett, United States minister to Colombia; E.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS John P.
Lee yesterday morning issued a
proclamation to the sheriff Of
Sewer county setting Friday,
May II, as the date for the legal
execution of D. T. Goddard, who
was convicted of numbering
Edward Ward at Gillian a year
ago. The proclamation was is
sued on a mandate from the Su-
preme Court setting forth the
fact that the Supreme Court had
refused to grant a rehearing in
the case.
Goddard was indicted by the
Sewer County Grand Jury in
June, 1905, for waylaying and
numbering Edward Ward near
Gillian. that county. While
evading the officers who sought
+ to arrest him on this charge ne
shot and killed James Metts, a
member OF the sheriff S posse,
but he was not tried on that
charge, as the one charge Of m1r-
der was sufficient. An ind.ct-
ment charging him with that
murder was returned BY the
Grand jury however. and had
he escaped ON the one charge the
other would have been pushed.
At the June term Of the Sewer
County Circuit Court he was
convicted Of murder in the first
degree Tor killing Ward and was
sentenced to be hanged July g.
He appealed from the decision Of
Circuit Court, however. and in
the meantime the date for the
execution passed When the
Supreme Court refused a rehear-
ing Saturday a mandate was is
sued to the governor, and Lieu
tenant-Governor Lee yesterday
