THE ATKINSON MURDER.
Detectives Think That They Have
Woman's Murderer.

The police at Moorestown, n. J., Thurs
day arrested George Small, colored farm
hand, on suspicion of completely in the
murder Of Miss Florence Atkinson last
week. Small was mentioned by Rufus
Johnson. a suspect arrested on Wednesday
in Baltimore. Johnson denied any knowl-
edge of the Allinson murder. but confessed
to the robbery of the home of Charles
Goodenough, near there, and implicated
Small The latter says he knows Johnson
whose right name, he states, is Jones'
but denies all knowledge of the Good
enough robbery. and declares he was in no
way connected with the murder OF Miss
Atkinson.
A dispatch from Baltimore Thursday
night says: In Rufus Johnson detectives be-
lieve they have the murderer of Miss Allin-
son. johnson made very conflicting state
ments to the detectives as to his where
abouts on January 49, the day of the muir
der. The detectives have ascertained that
he was In Philadelphia on the morning fol-
lowing that date. and that negro woman
to whom he was talking noticed that his
woolly hair was full of hay seed. when
the woman called Jones' attention to his
head" said Detective Lore Jones became
panic-stricken, and, pulling out a hand
glass (Which we believe belonged to Miss
Allinson), he quickly removed all traces of
the hay from his hair The murderer OF
Miss Allinson is supposed to have entered
the stable on her place early in the morn
ing and to have remained concealed there
until shortly before noon, consequently
the police attach great Importance to the
matter of the hay seed

TO SEARCH FOR SPRINGS.
Kaiser Will Send Noted Man to
Southwest Africa

Curious interest attaches to the announce
ment that the Emperor William has COM
missioned Herr Won Uslar, the chief gov
eminent official of Apenrade, province of
Schleswig Holstein. to proceed to German
Southwest Africa and find subterranean
springs by means of a divining rod Won
Uslar has a wide reputation as a water
finder in Schleswig-Holstein. but scientists
refuse to admit his claims that he has dis
covered water by means of divining rod
The emperor heard of Won Uslar and or
dered the ministry of public works TO in
quire into the matter.
The ministry collected numerous testi-
monials from provincial authorities SEEM
ingly proving the extraordinary success of
Won Uslar In discovering water veins.
The emperor thereupon decided to utilize
Won Uslar's powers for the purpose of al
leyiating the chronic water famine in Ger
man Southwest Africa. where the German
troops are seriously handicapped by lack
of water. Won Uslar will sail for South
Africa on Sunday.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY HEALTH.
High Death Rate Among the Negroes
From Pulmonary Diseases.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Nd. January q, 1906.
Dr. William L. Lewis, health officer for
this county, has submitted to the state
board of health his report for the year end
ing December 81, 1906. 1t shows that dur
ing the year there were sos births in the
county, 317 being whites and 191 colored,
and 404 deaths. $50 whites and 124 colered.
The report calls attention to the fact that
of the I24 deaths among the colored people
81 were due to tuberculosis, being % per
cent. In addition Is colored persons died
of pneumonia, making SO per cent of the
deaths among this race the result of lung
affections. OF the deaths among the white
people only q. or 71s per cent. died of affec-
tons of the lungs.
The total number of typhoid fever cases
reported during the twelve months was ao1,
Of which number II terminated fatally. OF
the n diphtheria cases reported but ?
proved fatal. No deaths from scarlet fever
were reported. although there were IL
cases. The report states that 504 school
children were Yacctnated, as against 1885
during the preceding year, showing that the
work was very thoroughly done IN the year
1904. DR.. Lewis says that all opposition to
vaccination has apparently disappeared

EXCESSIVE RATES CHARGED.
Alleged Conspiracy of Railroad.
Against Kankakee Firm.

r. r. Shiel & Co. of Kankakee, H., a
stock-shipping concern, has charged be-
fore the interstate commerce commission at
Chicago that nine railroads have consplred
to ruin the business of Shiel &c Co. by
charging excessive freight rates.
Shiel & Co. have filed a petition asking
the commission to issue order doing
away with what the petitioner pronounces
arbitrary rates.
The roads named in the petition are the
Illinois Central, Chicago and Alton, Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy, Indiana, I'LL
nois and Iowa, Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern, New York Central, Boston and
Albany Delaware Lackawanna and West
ern, and the Lehigh Valley.
l. is charged by Shiel & Co. that con-
spiracy has been in existence among the
roads named since May o. 1904. with the
effect that Shield G. Co. have been forced to
accept the alternative OF paying excessive
rates or go out of business entirely.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Commissioner Ides Sentiments.
There is also something else to consider
Japan is indirectly interested in the gov
errors of the Philippines. and her eyes are
now conferred upon Mr.. Ide. He is optimis-
tic, is the commissioner, and takes a great
interest in the colonies. Altogether Mr. Ide
believes in the development of the Filipino
rather than the Philippine Islands a stand
which savors of statesman ship. The new
governor is very conservative on the ques-
ton of independence, which bids fair to be-
come pre-eminent once more at an early
date. Whenever Mr.. Ide has spoken on the
colonies and its people he has always men,
toned the Philippines for the Filipinos,'
and this watchword the Filipinos take as
an omen of independence.
But, in conclusion, I can say that Japan
does not want the far east colonies, and
this reminds me of the incident which oc-
Cured in the course of q dinner at the
Toxic Harvard Club several years ago.
during the war between this country and
Spain. The Japanese minister for foreign
affairs was present, and in joking way one
of the Americans present made this propo-
sition to him: Give us the two cruisers
you are now building in the United States,
and for them my government will give you
the Philippines The reply was diplomatic
and equally, of course, courteous, but 1t
was learned that Japan would not have
given one of her cruisers for the possession
of the islands" -
