six men in an automobile in Central
Park early Thursday morning cost one
of the automobilists his life. He was
run down by the big touring car when
the hold UP men were making dash
for liberty, and SO severely hurt that
he died soon afterwards without re-
gaining consciousness. The dead
man was Wiggo Brandt, a chauf-
feur, 81 years .o'd. The police be-
lieve that the holdup was intend
ed merely as prank by half dozen
chauffeurs who were returning from a
ball in Harlem. On account Of the
death Of Brandt, however, they are
now searching for the other occupants
of the car and arrests were expected
to follow today.

MAY CHANGE HANGING DATES.
Governor Has Taken Matter Under
Consideration IN p.,.,Iirn. p..-

SOVeFnSr mas AIKEN M latter Under
Consideration in Rawlings Casa.
Atlanta, Nov. 15.-Governor Ter
reN Wednesday received letter from
some Methodist ministers calling his
attention to the fact that the south
Georgia conference will adjourn the
night OF Dec. g. On this account
he Ia asked to make q change in the
dates for the execution Of old man
Rawlings and the negro ALT Moore,
both of whom are now under sentence
to be hanged during the session of the
conference. Moore is to be hanged
on Nov. 80, and old man Rawlings
on Dec. 8.
The ministers do not exactly like
the idea Of a double execution right
in their midst during the session of
conference and are very anxious that
something shall be done about chang
ing the dates. Governor Terrell has
taken the matter under consideration,
but has reached no decision as to
what action he will take.
If he decides to comply with the
request of the ministers he will, no
doubt, respite the two men until the
4th Or 5th of December, which will
put the executions after the adjourn
ment of the conference, and yet be-
fore the date set for the execution
of Milton and Jsse Rawlings, the two
boys, which is Dec. z. This would
give the prison commission time to
act in the cases of the boys between
the executions Of the negro and old
man Rawlings, and the date fixed for
the boys to pay the same penalty.

FindlaS, o., Nov. 15.-The grand
jury has found indictments against
John ID. Rockefeller and four other
persons in connection with the Stand
ard Oil inquiry which was reopened
upon the reconvening of that body in

ments allege or who the four other
defendants are in addition to Mr..
Rockefeller, was not given out by the
prosecutor, Mr. David, who, how
ever, admitted the indictments had
been returned.
The bench warrants issued upon the
indictments were placed in the hands
of Sheriff Groves, who took them and
went to Cleveland, where it is sup
posed they are to be served.
The report of~the grand jury were
to made public @On Thursday or

Quoted, and in which a fine of $5, 900
was imposed by the probate court.
Prosecutor David stated Wednes-
day night thai no attempt would be
made at this time to compel J. d.
Rockefeller 10 come here, as his ap-
pearance had already been entered by
his attorney in the matter of the in
formation now pending in the probate
court.
Mr.. David gave as a reason for not
making the indictments public the
fact that none of the parties named
in them had been served with warrants
of arres,. He declared that several
persons subpenaed as witnesses in the
recent Standard Oil trial here left
the state and thus avoided testifying.

but thought it was the same man in

Rumors Of attempts to bribe or

After leaving the jury room Myers ad-
mitted that he had described attempts
to bribe him.

tremes of temperature. with storms

Frosts will work into central 10

22nd, or dates touching. From the
18th to the 10th is a most probable
time for some more earthquakes.
"A reactionary storm period is CEN
trial on the 23d to 25th, at which time
change to warmer, falling barometer,
with cloudiness, and more autumnai
rain may be expected.

HINT OF SETTLEMENT
Persistent Ramor, Which Cannot Be
Verified, Is That Garments Strike
Will Be Settled Before Present Week
Is Ended.

Persistent rumors, which have come
from Iowa Central sources, but which
could not be run down or verified, are
that the Garments strike will be settled
before the present week is ended. Mas
ter Mechanic Thomas M. Feeley, when
seen, could neither deny or affirm the
riimor, because as he said, the settle
ment Of the strike had passed out of
his hands to higher officials. 1t was
even intimated that the men might re-
turn to work this morning, but this
statement proved untrue. These set
Element stories are based on the claim
that the company will provide another
place for John Green, the, foreman OF
the car shop and central figure in the
strike, and that he will be removed
from the position of authority, because
Of which the strikers object so strenu-
ously. 1t has been impossible to trace
this statement to any authoritative
source. There Is q general feeling,
however, about Iowa Central quarters
that the strike is soon to be ended. The
rumor of settlement has been given
weight by the statement made by one
in a position of authority in the car
shops that the strikers should be told
not to leave town, because they might
be called on at any time.
Otherwise the situation is unchang-
ed. 1t is said the company has in the
shops now two locomotives which
would be ready for service were there
carpenters to build the cabs.
