POOL ROOM MAN IS
 UNDER S25OO BOND
curley Brown Is Indicted In New Or leans as Result of the New
 Anti-Pool Room Law.

New Orleans. August 17.-Ffve indict- ments were returned in blank by the grand jury today for violation of the Hunsicker anti-pool room law Some time ago the H. c. Brown Commission company opened brokerage offices in Gravler street within stones throw of the cotton exchange the senior member of the firm being "Curley' Brown. we'll known racing man. It is said to have developed from the large crowds that daily entered the building that a pool room was in full operation in the rear of the place, results of the races coming by long distance telephone from Mem phis The grand jury started an inves- tigation two days ago and telephone peo- pie, pool room operators, bucket shop men, cotton exchange members and oth- CTS were summoned 10 testify.
 Later it developed that the five indict- nnents were against "curley'iI Brown. He was arrested this afternoon and was re- leased on s25oo bond. $500 for each count. Brown this afternoon said he had divided his office with an old friend. and that 1t was the latter who received bets on the races. Brown denied that he was connected in any way with the pool room. He declined to furnish the name of his friend, who, he said, disappeared when public excitement started a week ago.
 .-Curley' Brown was one of the chief promoters of the City park race track here, but sold out his interests last win ter This Is the first indictment re- turned under the new law.

RAILROAD MEN
 IN CONSULTATION
ATTORNEYS SAID TO BE TRYING TO REACH COMMON CONCLu- SION AS TO INTERPRETATION OF NEW RATE LAW.

Washington, August 17.--"I am not sur Ysssed to learn that the attorneys of the railroads of the country are in consult tation in order to reach a common con clusion as to the interpretation of the new rate law" said Interstate Commerce Commissioner Clements in an interview today regarding the meeting of the raii- road officials at Atlantic City.
 "The commission" he says. "has urged upon all the railroads the necessity for prompt compliance with the provisions of the new laws, and to this end has invited them to appoint committees of conference with the commission in respect particular ly to the preparation and publication of tariffs and the keeping of account books, etc.
 Whether or not there be justification for the report that they are conferring with view to defeating the purposes of the law, I am of course, wholly inad- vised. 1 would not assume any such pur- pose as that. simply because they are conferring,, which for the reasons stated would be perfectly reasonable and nat ura1.
 Tt must be apparent to all, including even those railway men who in the past have been inclined to regard the railways as a piece of private property to be delt with by the owners as they choose, that the time has come when what they do in their business which involves the rights and interests of the public, must be an open book so that they them selves may have the means of knowing whether or not they are protected, and l do not believe the wel-advised railroad lawyers of the country will waste their time in attempting resistance to this well settled nublic purpose for the future"

PREMIER sToLYPIN SENDS CIR GUAR TO PROVINCIAL AUTHOR TIES CALLING FOR SUPPRESS

St. Petersburg, August 1.-The activity of the terrorists and revolutionsts and lack of support of the public are steadily forcing the governments hands in the direction of repression. The events in Po- land have given a new impetus to the talk of a military dictatorship which accord ing to the Comrade (formerly the Nash ashina) is one of the subjects for consid- eration enumerated in the call for a meet ing received by the members of the mil itary council yesterday.
 The prevalence of agrarian strikes and disorders has impelled Premier Stolypin to send another circular to the provincial authorities directing them to spare no efforts to suppress them. and prevent their repetition. M. stolypin demands in- creased vigilance on the part of adminis- trative officials and police and rural guards.

NEGROES ENDORSE
 DAVIS LYNCHING
CALL ON MEMBERS OF THEIR RACE TO ASSIST IN RUNNING DOWN RAScALS AND DEALING WITH THEM.

Columbia, s. C., August Ex-Governor Hayward returned this evening from the scene of the lynching of the negro, 4-o5 Davis, near Greenwood, last evening. [ When asked for a statement concern ing the lynching, the governor said he had nothing to say further than that after a conference with Solicitor Cooper of the Greenwood circuit, he had in structed that officer to take immediate steps to prosecute the known members of the mob.
 As the sentiment among the best cit- izens of the county as well as a number of negroes, is in sympathy with the ac- tion of the mob, It Is hardly probable that the prosecutions will amount to anything.
 A negro school teacher of the neigh borhood has written a card to the news papers in which he endorses the lynch ing of Davis
 The negro citizens of Greenwood coun- ty today issued the following address in regard to the lynching of Bob Davis:
 We. the negroes of this county, wish to say that we are with you. and in any thing so serious as this you have our assistance in what you think best. We cannot afford as a race to uphold any thing that tends to lower our Christian or moral standing, and the quicker we show that he are ready to help trace the rascal to his den, the quicker will we have the sympathy of the white man when we are intruded upon. Some weak minded colored persons may say that ne- groes should not have assisted the white men in their search, but we say to them you're simply needing in common sense'
 If there is anything lacking on the part of the negro race 1t Is that of self respect, and we say that if he cannot respect himself, teach him, and do not be particular in how and in what manner the lesson is given. Not until the leaders of the race establish the fact that we should join in and overtake any rascal, we are not in full discharge of our duty. Let us as race learn to respect our selves and thereby expect 1t of others.
 We thing we voice the sentiment of every respectable negro in the country when we say that the country is rid of one of the meanest. most disreputable characters imaginable, and your thoughts are ours. It is unreasonable to expect the white men to respect and protect us when we do not respect ourselves. The only thing wanted was the right man, and that is why we are satisfied.

S25, 100000 PULLED DOWN
 BY POOL IN THE PACIFICS
Amid Frantic Scenes Stock Exchange Yesterday Union Pacific Common Rushed Upward 17 Ia Points and Southern Pacific 7-8 Points After Announcement of
 Unexpectedly Large Dividends

New York August 17.-Amid frantic scenes of trading on the stock exchange, Union Pacific common stock rushed up ward ITS points a share and that of Southern Pacific 6s points today after an announcement of dividends far in excess of what the traders had any reason to expect. The result was that a large number of traders who had sold the stock short suffered sharp losses, and ac- cording to an estimate reached by the Evening Post a pool in Union Pacific stock realized profits amounting to s15,- 0o0,00O and a similar pool in Southern Pacific S100o0000.
 Notwithstanding the meeting of exeeu- tive committees of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific roads in this city yes terday, the bulk of the brokers were to- tally unprepared for the announcement of dividends which was made public soon after the opening of todays market. The dividends were:
 Union Pacithc preferred per cent semi-annual
 Common, 5 per cent, semi-annual
 Southern Pacific. common, 25 per cent. semi-annual
 Union Pacific. common heretofore paid 8 per cent and today's dividend was the first ever declared on Southern Pacific common.
 Brokers were swept into mad struggle to buy the two stocks within minute after the announcement was circulated and the excited scenes which ensued had hardly been exceeded since the great struggle to control Northern Pacific, five years ago. The shorts in both Pacifles were unprepared for the upward rush which followed and led the scramble to cover. Within half an hour after the

Details Are Meaqer.

Except for few private messages re- ceived early today reporting an earth quake in Chile. and damage to buildings in Valparaiso, no definite news has as yet been received.
 The early reports coming from differ ent points stated that the earthquake had resulted in great loss of life and wide spread damage to property. Up to Il o'clock tonight, however, there had been nothing to confirm these reports.
 The Associated Press correspondent at Buenos Ayres cables that it is feared the town of Los Andes, in the province of Aconcagua, has been destroyed At the same time he points out that Buenos Ayres has no direct communication with the disturbed district.
 No official information has reached Washington from Chile, and while posi- tive information Is lacking, New York of ficials of cable companies having con- nections in South America, tonight ex- press the opinion that the first reports of the earthquake were exaggerated.
 All cables reaching New York from Chile and Valparaiso early tonight were evidently much delayed, according to the statements of these officials, who are themselves unable to get any information bearing on the situation other than the fact that an earthquake has occurred, that the disturbance has dlsarranged tel egraphic apparatus. and interfered with communication.
 There is much anxiety tonight among those who have friends and relatives Tn Chile. The cable companies and newspa- pers are making every effort to secure definite information.
