Probable Murder.

The authorities of Alexandra county
believe that Fred Mills, negro who
was found dead on the line OF the Old
Dominion electric railroad, near Rosslyn,
Monday night, with his skull crushed
and 81 alb wOuDd in his neck, was the
victim OF foul play. Acting on this
theory they are endeavoriDg to identify
the murderer. While the cOrOner's jury
at the inquest Wednesday released the
two negroes under arrest on suspicion oil
having killed Miles, the jurors expressed
the belief that Miles met death by vlo-
lence. and this has ca used the authorl'
ties to redouble their efforts to learn the
identity Of the persons responsible for
ahe negrO's death.

STATEMENT
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
iI ON THE RATE BILL
Proposed Amendments VIII Meet the
Favorable Endorsement of President
Roosevelt, Who Believes That They
Are Already Embodied.

Washington, May Sin view OF tht
publications today regarding the presi
dents position on the question OF rail.
road rate legislation and the amend.
ments proposed, an authoritative state
ment was issued at the White house de
fning the presidents position. The
statement is as follows:
"The so-called Allison amendment
in the presidents Judgment simply
states aftirmatively what the president
believes is already contained in the
Hepburn bill but if there is the slight
est doubt as to its being thus already
contained in the bill the president
would insist upon its being put in be-
cause unless it IS thus contained the
bill undoubtedly would be void.
Therefore as the Incorporating OF
the Allison amendment, under no cir
cumstances would do anything but
good, and as there is an honest doubt
on the part of some of the adherents OF
the bill whether it is or is not already
by implication contained in the bill, the
president is clearly OF opinion that the
Allison amendment should be put in
and this without regard to whether
other amendments are or are not ai-
opted.
If the Hepburn bill, therefore, passes
In this form, which is practically the
exact form in which it passed the house
it will be satisfactory to the president
who, from the beginning, has stated that
the Hepburn bill itself would be sat
istactory. But the president would like
II, in addition to the Allison amendment
the so-called Long and Overman amend
ments were adopted While the presi-
dent regards these amendments with
favor and would like to see them adopt
ed, he does not in the least regard them
as vital and feels that the Hepburn bill
would still be in excellent shape even
without them"
