FATE OF NEGRO IN DOUBT.
Reported at Bartlett That He Had
Been Killed.

Bartlett, Texas, June 15.-The fate
of the negro taken from the Holland
calaboose is still shrouded in mystery.
All sorts of reports are current here,
one of which is to the effect that he
is dead, but so far the report has not
been verified. In fact, no one can be
found who has seen the body or seen
any one who has seen it.
All that is known for sure is that
the two negroes were put in the Gala
boose Tuesday night. A broken lock
and door and bent crowbar told the
tale Wednesday morning as to how
they came out, but what was done
after that and what became of one of
Der of people believe he was taken
out, given a good whipping and then
turned loose.
The negroes here are badly fright
ened, and those of them who would be
tempted to do anything wrong will
doubtless be deferred from doing so
by the example made of this one.

pany.
Comptroller Stephens stated in open
court that he simply wished to follow
the laws OF the state, under the advice
of the attorney general. Judge Cal
houn said that he found it difficult to
impose a fine in the case as the
fgTE re ,d;,is sen eaEth were legal and on
For this reason the question could be
tested, as the comptroller clearly dem
onstrated, and he intended no disre-
spect for the court, but that he was
being advised by the states law Off
Ger, and following what he conceived
to be the law.
State Treasurer Robbins was elimi-
mated from the proceedings as he
could not pay out the money unless he
had warrant from the comptroller.
The case will now go over to the SUI
preme court, where a correct inter
probation of the law will be obtained.

TERING AWAY A CHANCE.

ST Petersburg, May 2S-Professor
MilukoH, spokesman of the constitu-
tional democrats, according to a
thoughtful article published by him
in The Rech today, is rather despond-
ent over the prospect of staying the
tide of revolution in the country. He
bases his pessimisnf upon the convic-
ton that the government will not yield
a full constitutional regimen with
which he says it is still possible to
calm the passions of the people. He
regards Premier Goremykin and his
cabinet as mere puppets doing the
bidding of the powerful influences at
court and believes that Emperor Mich
olas is destined to throw away the
opportunity, as Louis XVI did, of
transferring the country TO peaceful
parliamentary regime. This, the pro-
fessor considers to be the govern
ments last chance and that refusal to
do so will cut the ground from under
the constitutional democrats and
strengthen the revolutionary elements.
which are preaching that parliament
taryism is an illusion and will make
anarchy and bloody revolution in
evitable.

Interstate Commission Is
After Officials.
DISTRIBUTION OF COAL CARS
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD OFF,
GALS MUST TELL THE COM
MISSION WHAT THEY KNOW
ABOUT THE DISTRIBUTION OF
COAL CARS.

| Philadelphia, May 23.-High officials
of the Pennsylvania railroad are
among the witnesses who win be ex-
amined during the investigation this
week of the Interstate commerce com
mission into the alleged discrimination
by the railroads in distribution of coal
cars.
The entire commission sat for to-
| days hearings
The first witness called was w. A..
Patton, assistant to President Cassatt
at Philadelphia. He was asked to tell
what interest he had in coal compan-
| les. Taking a list from his pocket
he enumerated the various compan-
les in which he held stock Patton
proved unwilling witness when he
was questioned about III hAldings in
the AtlapH 10 1 eloHPQ 4lIo,
The 80, - 9Vl o.. -1.iftTeu IN a tilt be
tween rho5Vitl2!s and Attorney Glas-
gov for the commission and caused
impatient comment by Commissioner
Cockrell The controversy occurred
after repeated efforts had been made
by Glasgow to draw from the witness
a positive statement as to whether he
had paid any actual cash for his 400
shares in the company.
Patton made an explanation to the
effect that he became interested in a
land purchasing company through r.
Howard Patton, who represented the
interests of Col. George e. HUFF. When
the land was purchased he said, inves-
tors were obligated to pay their pro
rata share but as there had been no
losses it was not necessary to pay in
leash.
The examination of Patton develop
ed the fact that he held stock in a
dozen coal companies 6,140 shares of
which with par value of $307 900, he
had acquired without payment. In
addition he owned 700 shares which
had been paid for. =
"How do you explain the fact, Pat
ton" queried Glasgow. that you ac-
quired principally through George F.
Huff such an enormous amount of
stock?"
Patton said he was born in western
Pennsylvania and had been life long
friend of Colonel Huff.
''Friendship," he said, "goes a good
ways These stocks were not given
me for any favors l might be able to
do the companies"
He said he thought his superior
officers knew he owned the coal
stock.

ce.

Christiana, Norway, May 23.-Hen-
rik Ibsen, the Norwegian poet and
dramatist, died at 2:30 o'clock this af-
ternoon.
The~death of Ibsen was unexpected
although for the past year he had been
very weak and it was known that his
death was only question of time He
was unconscious toward the end and
passed away peacefully None of his
friends were allowed to see him during
his long illness, the only persons
admitted to his room being the doc
tor, dramatists wife and son. The
news of Ibsen's death made great
impression in this city, the city where
he was much beloved.
Ibsen was born March 20, 1928 in
Skeen, a small lumber town in south
ern Norway. His ancestry were
German and Scotch though they had re-
sided in Norway a century before Ib-
sens birth. After his fathers failure
in business Ibsen could not continue in
school and became an apothecary's as
sistant. He was regarded by his ac-
duaintances as dismal and queer"
he entertained peculiar political ideas
and expressed them boldly, and was
an ardent revolutionist at 20 years of
age, when he wrote revolutionary
drama and number of poems. When
% years of age he went to Christiana
to prepare for the university and
wrote number of plays. He aban-
doned the university course and de-
voted all his time to poetry and drama
He was appointed theatre poet in 81
He rose rapidly In his chosen work In
1864 he left Norway and for the great
er part of his life resided in Munich
and Rome until recent years
