WITNESSES ARE JAILED
Parties Wanted to Testify in Lumber
Camp 2eonase Case Are Detained
by order of Court at Pensacola.

Because Of the fact that Cne of
the most important witnesses has sui
denly disappeared from Pensacola, and
that overIUres by unknown parties
to others to leave for New York and
not apear in the now famous Jackson
Lumber company cases, every witness
who is not a resident of Florida and
we'll known to the United States COM
missioner has been placed in the local
jail in default OF bond, where all will
be held until the case comes up TO:
trial at the next term of the United
States court.
Harry Lambert, who testified 1ew
days ago that he had twice beea
horsewhipped, after being caught with
bloodhounds, and who exhibited welts
and scars, which, he claimed, had
been inflicted by the bosses, has dis
appeared. When wanted to again tes.
tify he could not sc found and q
search revealed the fact that he was
not in Pensacola. Other witnesses
stated that they had oeen approached
by unknown parties speaking foreign
tongues with propositions not to stop
at Pensacola and testify, but to go
on to New York, and if they would
do so money for their fare would be
given them.
A Birmingham dispatch says: Emil
Lesser, president of the German I'M
migration Society of Alabama, has re-
turned from Lockhart, where he has
been Tor several days investigating
the charges of peonage in the camp
of the Jackson Lumber company at
that place.
Mr.. Lesser has prepared a report,
which will be submitted to Governor
Jelks, in which he says that there is
no trace of peonage at the camp.
His report says in part: Il have
interviewed nearly a hundred laborers
and have not found = single person
who could or would make any COM
plant about peonage or cruel treat
ment. All the men I spoke to stated
they could leave if they wished. II
peonage has existed at Lockhart, tnen
all traces of it had been removed be-
fore my coming. The German vice
cousul at Pensacola authorizes mo to
say officially and positively that the
statements as to complaints being
made 10 him by Germans escaping
from these camps are absolutely
false.''

PITIFUL TALE is TOLD
BY Alleged Lumber Camp "Slaves"
Before United States Commissioner
in Pensacola, Florida.

The investigation of peonage and
slavery conditions at the Jackson
Lumber company camps at Lockhart,
Ala, by the United States court CON-
missioner was begun at Pensacola,
Fla, Friday, and concluded Friday
night, and resulted in the unearthing
Of a terrible state of affairs, il the
statements of the witnesses. told upon
the stand are true.
Three of the men are held to the
United States court for trial under
heavy bond. They are Robert Gala
CHER, Superintendent; W. N. Grace and
Oscar S. Dander, the two latter also
employees of the company. Many wit
nesses were examined and all teSti-
fed directly or indirectly as to how
men had been beaten and i'll treated
at the camps.
The climax came when Manuel Jar
dems;, a foreigner, who had been
brought from New York, with Others
was placed on the stand. So weak
and exhausted that he could scarcely
hold himself in a seat, suffering from
bruises over the body and burning
I'D with fever, he told his story. He
had been beaten with whips, struck
in the face with clenched fists and
kicked in the abdomen and lower
portions of the body. He could not
speak English, but pointed out Gal
lacher in the court room as the man
who had inflicted most of the pun
ishment. His story was told through
an interpreter and so pitiable was MS
condition that when he concluded and
could hardly leave the court room,
a purse was taken up to place MIN
in a hospital, and give him proper
treatment. Frequently during the
time he was on the stand he would
place his hands upon his stomach
and through his Interpreter signify
that he was in pain from the Kicks
he had received.
Mrs. Mary Paul Jones and Mrs.
Gibson, ladies living near Laurel Hill,
saw the men pvertake foreigner
near their houses. with hounds ard
while one held him under cover with
a revolver, another beat him unmer-
cifuly with whip.

HOT WAVE KILLS SC0EES,
New York Hospital and Police AM
balances Filled With Dead and
Dying-Other Cities Suffer.

New York and its environments
sweltered Monday far into the night,
for it was the hottest day of the
year so far. Upwards Of twenty per-
sons in the city alone died from the
heat and hospital and police ambu-
lances were kept more than busy, 50
numerous were the cases Of prostra-
tion.
These numbered scores. The govern
ment thermometer registered 90 de-
grees at its highest during the after
noon, which is a record for the year.
But it was much hotter in the streets
and some thermometers recorded as
high as 1O2 degrees. The humidity
was excessive.
Thousands of tenement house-dwel-
ers could not endure to stay In their
crowded homes and deserted them
for the time being for the city parks
and the seashore, where they slept
Monday night in the open. The curb
brokers in Broad street were obliged
to suspend business because OF the
ferceness of the suns rays.
At Washington up to p. M, no
diminution in the intensity Of the
heat wave was noticeable. At that
hour the weather bureau reported the
temperature as 90 and the humidity
as So. On the street the temperature
at o'clock was 103. Only two cases
of heat prostration had been report
ed at that time.
At Philadelphia the extreme heat
of Sunday and Monday has caused
three deaths and number of pros
trations. The government thermom-
eter or the postohice building at one
o'clock p. m. registered SO.

nearly all of them foreigners and
many of them wonlcn-from rushing
the doors of the institution. The
fact that the bank was on the verge
of failure was first revealed by Pres
ident Paul o. Stensland, one of the
absent officials. A letter to his son,
Theodore, who is vice president, writ
ten from ST.. Paul, and received Sat
urday, started the investigation,
which brought about the suspension.
Another sensational feature OF the
affair was the disappearance OF the
cashier, Henry w. >lerring, and the
issuing Of a warrant for his arrest
on a charge of embezzlement.
Many persons burst into tears when
they found that their savings were
endangered or lost.
