FEAR RACE RIOT
WILL PROVE FATAL
Negroes Clash With
Italian Brick
Workers.
MILITIA RUSHED TO. SCENE
Colored Labor Imported to
Break Strike Fight Bloody
Battle With Foreigners.

Albany, May 16--Riots between
Italians and negroes broke out In the
brick yards at Coeymans, twelve
miles south OF here today. Sheriff
Pitts and several deputies and Lieu
tenant Colonel Davis of the tenth
regiment went to Coeymans and the
commanding officers of the local mill
tia companies have been instructed to
be in readiness for orders. One negro
has been brought to the Albany hospi-
tai with bullet in his side. The
trouble grew out of the importation
of southern negroes to take the place
of striking Italians. Shortly after
noon, Sheriff Pitts requested that the
local militia be sent to the scene OF
the trouble and arrangements were at
once made to send four companies.
Several pitched battles have already
occurred between the striking Italians
and the negroes, and 1t is reported
that both sides are heavily armed. Ii
is feared that much bloOdshed will re-
suit as the managers of the brick
yards are determined to keep their
men at work and the feeling against
the coiored labor is very strong.

Says Position Prevents His
Answering Roosevelt in

Washington, May Ex-senator Till
man today received from former Sen
ator William E. Chandler, a statement
Of his course as Intermediary in the
negotiations between President Roose
welt and Senators Tillman and Bailey
on the railroad rate bill The com.
munication bears upon Senator Lodges
denial for the President of Senator
Chandler's statement quoting the
President as saying that he had lost
his confidence in Senators Foraker.
Spooner and Knox. 1t was offered In
the Senate by Senator Tillman and will
be printed in the Congressional Rec.
ords. In his statement to Tillman,
Chandler says:
"As the telephone denial by Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent to the Senate
through Senator Lodge remains in the
Congressional Record Of May IL, it
seems to me I should take some no
tice of it which | do now, by re-affirm-
ing the essential truth Of the state
ment which ! made to you and which
you repeated in the Senate. Much as
| regret that the hasty action Of Sena-
tor Lodge and the President has forced
an issue between the President and
myself, the extreme language he used
makes such an issue unavoidable and
I cannot shrink from 1t or evade 1t al
though ! cannot use towards the chief
executive of the nation language like
his own. Upon our respective state
ments, I submit the controversy with
ali confidence to the judgment of those
who know me-
Chandler then went at length into
his side of the controversy.

SECURES JUDGMENT
FOR LARGE FORTUNE
Arizona Supreme Court Allows Louis
Zeckendorf 100000 From Sale Of
"OId Boot" Mine.

Phoenix, May 16.--One Of the most
important civil cases that has been
tried in Arizona for years is the case
Of zeckendorf VS.. Steinfeld, which was
passed upon by the supreme court
Monday.
Louis Zeckendorf secured judg-
ment Of nearly $309,000 against his
old partner, Albert Steinfeld, Of Tue
son. The litigation grew out OF the
sale of the Old Boot mine in Pima
County. Steinfeld claimed when the
co-partnership was dissolved that the
mine was his personal property, hence
the suit.
The Tucson court gave judgment
for Zeckendorf in the sum mentioned.
E. S. Ives, Steinfeld's attorney, ap-
pealed the case and secured a rever-
sal. This will necessitate a new trial
and final appeal to the supreme
court of the United States for final
adjudication.

st. Petersburg, May 16.-The opinion
is quite general today that parlia.
ment's adoption Of the reply to the
speech from the throne will make a
conflict with the crown inevitable since
1t contains a number of points upon
which the supporters of the govern
ment say it is impossible for the EN-
peror to yield. The constitutional
democratic leaders, however, while
they assert that the reply is intend
ed to make it clear to the Emperor
that the country will be satisfied with
less than a constitutional mon
archy, on Democratic basis, insist
that 1t is not an ultimatum. They
consider that the reply is temperate in
tone and say that 1t required all their
ability to prevent the introduction Of
more radical expressions.

On Previous Sales of
Territorial Lands
to Corporations.
NO FRAUD IN TRANSACTIONS
Alleged That Land Commits
sion Evaded Statutory
Provisions.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton under date of the 18th instant,
contains the news that the Secretary
of the Interior has called the atten-
tion of Congress to an alleged evasion
of law on the part of the land commits
sioners of New Mexico in selling to
the Pennsylvania Development Com
pany, of which Delegate w. H. An
drews is an officer, 10000 acres of land
in Valencia County.
The law provides that lands granted
to the Territory of New Mexico should
not be sold in greater areas than 16O
acres to any individual, firm or cor
poration. But this law, Secretary
Hitchcock states, was evaded by sell
ing lands to agents Of the Pennsyl-
vania Company and he asks Congress
to pass a law abrogating the original
grants, thus invalidating deeds made
by the territorial land commission to
the purchasers.
Delegate Andrews says the entire
matter is old and was brought to the
attention Of the Interior Department
and closed several years ago. He does
not anticipate that Congress will act
favorably upon Secretary Hitchcock's $
request.
The facts in the case are very sim
pie and are we'll known throughout
the Territory. There has been no con.
cealment concerning these every
transaction was open and above board
and is fully recorded in the records OF
the territorial land commission
Similar cases under similar condi
tions to the amount Of many thou
sands Of acres have been made to the
Alamogordo Lumber Company In
Otero County, to the American Lum
Der Company in Mckinley and valen
cia Counties and to other corporations
by the territorial land commission. Re
Gently a special agent of the Depart
ment Of the Interior, e. P. Holcombe
was in New Mexico Investigating the
records Of the land commission, found
these transactions on the records ant
reported them to the Secretary o1
the Interior. The letter of the Secre
tary to Congress, recommending q re
peal of the acts granting certain pub
lie lands to the Territory for the
maintenance and support OF it's educa
tional institutions, is based upon the
report Of this agent, the Secretary
holding that Congress- alone has the
power to act In the premises,
