ernOr Doubtful.

Dallas Tex, Aug. 1i.-With 200 dele
gates, the number being limited by law,
and more than 1000 spectators. what
promises to be the most exciting state
convention ever held by the Democracy
of Texas since 1892 when the party split
and nominated James S. Hogg and George
Clark for governor, opened today. The
first session was devoted to the usual
preliminaries of effecting temporary or
ganiZation, Judge Joseph z. COckrell of
Dallas being named as temporary chair
man. The first ballot for governor will
hardly be taken before tomorrow after
nOOn and because Of the division of the
strength among the candidates and the
peculiar naming system it is expected

hours.

BROWNE OUT OF SING SING
Even Uncle Sam Must Live Up to
Recognized Code Of Inter
national Law.

New York, Aug. 14.-Charles E..
Browne, former examiner of silks in
the government customs service in this
city, was ordered released from Sing
Sing prison by Judge Hough of the
United States court today on writ of
habeas corpus. Browne was recently
brought back from Canada, where he
had fled after giving bail, and was
taken direct to prison. His counsel
claimed this was in violation of the ex-
tradition treaty between the United
States and Canada. In his opinion dis
charging Browne from custody Judge
Hough declared that there is no au-
lthority vested in the United States to
seize or hold a person .extradited in pur-
suance of treaty privilege except upon
the charge on which the extradition was
granted. The court declared:
This decision rests not only princi-
pally upon the civil rights of a fugitive
criminal who has been returned in ac-
cordance with an increasingly civilized
international law, but upon the grounds
of national honor, imposing upon this
government the obligation to deal with
the human being entrusted to it by a
friendly foreign power only with re-
spect of the matter by reason of which
he was so interested"

FOUL PLAY NOT SUSPECTED
EULOGIES OF DEAD AUTHOR IN
LONDON PAPERS.

London, Aug. H.-The body of Mrs.
Craigie John Oliver Hobbes), who died
here yesterday, was removed from her
residence today to Paddington mortu-
airy for a post norton examination un-
der the coroner's supervision. The
funeral services will take place at the

John Morgan Richards, the father of

my daughters death was other than
natural. She did not take drugs"
When it was suggested to Mr.. Rich
ards that his daughter might have been
troubled with insomnia, he said she
slept remarkably we'll when at Vent

NEGROES NATURAL SINGERS
Southern Composer Says That Voices
of Blacks Are Spoiled by
Training.

r. E. Black of Mobile, Ala, a COM
poser of sacred music and number
of celebrated orchestra numbers, is a
guest at the Knutsford fer few DAYS
on his way to the Yellowstone national
park
The negro of the south is better un-
derstood by the people of the south
than by those of the NORTH" he said
last night, and we of the southland
seem to get along all right with them
Whenl We are not interfered with by
too much advice.
The average negro of Alabama and
the south generally is a shiftless ne'er-
do-well, who will never amount to any,
thing. He has no care for tomorrow,
and does not worry about anything
further than the next meal-and that
does not distress him a great deal
There are negroes who have distin-
guished themselves and have taken
advantage of the educational facilities
that have been placed at their dis
posal. The average negro. however,
does not care TO exert himself to get
even rudimentary education.
The Booker Washington school is
doing great deal of good among those
of the black race who will work in the
institution and will try to develop
themselves. l do not believe that the
time will ever come when the negro
will care for the refinements of life and
for education.
The colOred man is naturally a great
imitatcr. This is especially true in the
matter of music. The voices are rich
and sweet and pleasing. They have no
technique, however ard training of
their voices spoils them by making
them affected and artificial. Training
does their voices no good.
They are great singers. Their imi-
tative faculty helps them to learn
quickly, as a parrot learns. When a
new musical organization appears and
the negro singers hear them, the songs
and melodies are initiated so exactly
in q short time that the unframed ear
could not distinguished between the
real and the imitation.
In the Mobile district white labor
is largely employed in the lumber in
dustry, and there are fewer negroes
than in the black belt We have no
political troubles with the negroes, be-
cause as a class they do not take adj
vantage of their franchise"

OREGON FOREST FIRE.

Albany, Ore, Aug. 14.-Reports re-
ceived from the Cascade forest reserve
fire in the mountains east of here indi-
cate that while there are no prospects
OF extinguishing the fires until the
heavy fall rains come, the condition to-
day is better, temporarily at least, be-
cause the wind has died down. With
but one exception there has been little
spread in the fire belt since yesterday.
This exception is the starting of a new
fire in the green timber on the lower
Santiam, four miles above Jefferson.
Every effort is being made by the for
estry officials to confine this fire to its
present boundaries in order to save val
liable timber holdings along the lower
Santiam.

Euiogies in the Press.

London, Aug. 15.-The London news
papers this morning contain extended
obituary notices of the late Mrs. Graf
gle, and editorial articles lamenting her
untimely end, eulogizing her brilliant
work and narrating many personal rem
iniscences, the appropriations dwelling
especially on her consciousness as
a worker.
AS an instance of this latteE>trait, the
Morning Leader states thatvwhen, a
year ago, Mrs. Craigie reviewed Oscar
Wilde's DE Profundis'' for that Jour
nal, she insisted upon taking her own
time to write the review, declaring her
inability TO write faster than she
thought, and protesting against the
style of criticism where a reviewer
criticized in half an hour what it had
taken the author three years to write
Mrs. Craigie declared that such re-
views were not worth reading

WORKING THE WIRELESS.
Satisfactory Results Obtained in the
Philippine Islands.

Washington, Aug. Unsatisfactory
results with wireless apparatus are re-
ported to the chief signal officer in
Washington from Camp Roosevelt at
Mount Gretna, p. I. Under the direc-
ton of Chairman Gibbs of the signal
corps. there has been installed at head
quarters a set of wireless instruments,
and a station erected. Two other sets
of instruments are in use and are sent
with principal detachments of troops
when out on march or in maneuvers
From distances of ten or more miles
when a halt is made a wireless apparat-
us is brought out and within five min
utes or less messages are exchanged
with headquarters. Kites are used
from these outlying temporary stations
and it has been demonstrated that di-
rect and quick communication can be
established. On some occasions the sig
nal corps goes out with the cavalry
carrying the apparatus with them and
moving at a rate which would render
it impossible TO string wires in order
to keep in communication with head
quarters.

pany Stops Its Cars to Pre-
vent Further Rioting.
SITUATION is UNCHANGED
THREE DIVISION INSPECTORS
ARRESTED.

New York Aug 14.-FolloWing the az
rest tonight of three division inspectors Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company on
charges of assault in the third degree,
the company shut off entirely all of its
surface lines leading TO Coney Island, TAX
ing the position that this was the only
way TO stop the rioting which has been
in progress since Sunday morning at the
points where a second fare was demanded
by the companys employees. The elevated
and express trains to the SeaShOre were
augmented. The arrested inspectors were
balled In the sum of $500 each.
Stopped the Rioting.
The stoppage of the surface car traffic
had the effect of quieting the distuI b.
ances tonight, and the company claims
it will not attempt TO run the surface
cars through TO Coney Island ar rush
hours until the danger OF rioting is past
Counsel for the company today wrote
10 the acting corporation counsel declaring
that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines
were not afforded police protection. He
pointed out that the company was Il
local one, according to the laws OF New
York states; was doing a legal bust
ness and entitled to police protection when
it's rights were assailed. The surface cars
which were stopped tonight were run
during the morning and early afternoon
on q winter schedule, or half hour head
way There were many disputes at Neck
road and Gravesend avenue and a num-
Der of passengers were dragged protest
ngly from the cars.
Sheriff Takes Action.
Sheriff Flasherty of Kings county said
today that he was prepared to swear IN
LOCO deputies if the situation should de-
mand, and he did issue commissions 70
several score, whom he sent to the scere
of the recent disorders. The StOppage of
traffic tonight made the employment OF
further deputies at this time unnecessary.
The company has experienced only little
difficulty in collecting second fares from
elevated road passengers to Coney Island
and is depending on this service to solve
temporarily at least the existing troubles.
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
stopped its surface cars at the second fare
limits despite threats that action to annui
the charter for these roads from Neck
road TO Coney Island would be instituted
