THE CLANSMAN" COMING
Mayor or City Clerk Say They Will Not Interfere With
 Performance
THE SHOW WILL co ON

.The Clansman," Thomas Dixon. jr's, play, which is so objectionable
 to the colored race, will play at
 Polls theater on Saturday evening,
 December 15. as booked. Although there is talk of the colored ministry of this city using their efforts to have Mayor Thoms stop it, the city executive will not interfere as it is up to the city clerk to issue or re- fuse license for the production. City Clerk William Sandland has no- tified Manager Harry Parsons o. Polls to have extra policemen on hand in case there should be trouble at the theater. The theaters of thi city take out yearly licence, but it is in the power of the city clerk to revoke this when a show which in his opinion is not fit to appear is booked. He has not as yet been shown why "The Clansman" should not be presented and Mir Saidland said to-day he was confident the play would be enacted. Mayor Thoms and City Clerk Sandland have talked the matter over and the statement of the latter is taken as final.
 "The Clansman" received plenty Of notoriety when it was stopped by Mayor Weaver in Philadelphia. An ambitious press agent had stirred up the colored citizens to such an ex- tent that such pressure was brought upon the mayor that he would not allow the show to be presented.

THE C0RONER'S VERDICT. Finds Engineer Easton Criminally
 Resuonsible for Acicdent.

New Haven, Dec 3.-Coroner Mix to-day rendered his findings in the investigations of the railroad acci-
 dents at Cedar Hill, November 26.
 and at Yalesville, November 29, in
 which four men lost their lives
 three Italian laborers in the first
 collision and Conductor William
 Leary of Springfield in the second
 one.
 The coroner finds that Engineer
 Harry w. Easton of New Haven was criminally responsible for the Yales- vile accident as he neglected to heed a banjo signal set against him and that Engineer George o. Devine was criminally responsible for the Cedar Hill crash as he kept his train run ming despite the signal given him by Brakeman Waterman. Easton and Devine, who had been held by the coroner, were arrested to-day as the result of the coroner's finding and probably will be given hearing to- morrow. Each furnished bonds of s1,000.
 In his report of the Yalesville ac. cident the coroner says that the ban jo signal is 1900 feet south of the Yalesville station, while the freight train which Easton's engine ran into was several hundred feet north of the station. The freight was going at the rate of ten miles an hour and the big moguls north bound running were speeding along at the rate of twenty miles an hour. The coroner says that there was a clear view of the track ahead for a distance of 900 feet. which should have given Easton plenty of time in which to see the slowly going north bound freight.
 In regard to the Cedar Fill affair. the coroner says that a signal was given to Engineer Devine that there was train ahead. but 1. vas not needed. the result being that the train. loaded with laborers. bumped into stalled gravel train. three Ital- ians being instantly killed and sev- eral injured. The coroner also finds that Conductor William !. Casey of the train bearing the Italians was not at his post of duty and says that while he is not crimina'iy responsible for the accident he is deserving of severe censure.

appalling, whose stories were terri

ble."
 No mention of the paper was made Gentlemen" he continued, Fin the law this boy Is innocent until il is established he Is guilty In this case there is far stronger presump- tion-one almost satisfying that this boy Is innocent. He had no bad habits, no rowdyism attended him; but they say he suddenly rose up, de- liberated for a week, and committed the terrible crime of murder. Tt appears that this boy had re- lations with this young woman, but other men have oyersteppe6 the bounds of propriety. She was 26 years old; he was 23. Tleir rela- tions society calls improper but they were only natural. He is not to be punished for that, not convicted for that.
 The only question is: Did this boy on July II last, on Big Moose lake, take the life of Grace Brown against the laws of the state?' You may not favor his relations, hut you shall not consider them in arriving at your verdict"
 MT Mills started to speak on what he termed miscarriage of justice in Vermont, and the district attorney objected. Justice Devendorf said that the purpose of summing up is to review the evidence.
 MT Mills did not press his point.
 Think of the proposition that has been shown as an adequate motive for the cruel murder of sweet young girl. He had been in society and about with friends. Does .hie go to show that he contemplated the crime of murder?
 Had he been about to marry some one, and been embarrassed by q Na- son with another. there might have been a motive. But there was none here."
 MT Mills said Gillette had no spe- cial attraction in Cortland, and it would have been an easy matter for him to have gone away. He and Miss Brown simply met, and went away to talk it over, to plan for the future, and yet they say he killed Grace Brown so he might stay in Cortland. Why. he had not even his parents there"

 Employer
WAS TRAVELLING SALESMAN

Butte, Mont, Dec 3-Arthur P

 information received by the local DO
 lice, who say he got away with sev
 eral thousand dollars worth of cast
 and jewelry, the proberty of Abel & Co, jewelry merchants, of 64-66 John street, New York.

 John A. Abel. head of the jewelry firm, said to-day that Buck probably will be taken to Boston for trial. While Buck was in the employ of Abel Brothers he sold the goods of the firm all over the country. He usually carried with him about $15,- 900 worth of show pieces of various kinds of jewelry. A few months ago he started on tour of the north western states. and according to a statement made to-day by Mir Abel about the middle of last month wrote from Portland. Ore, asking the firm to send him some money so that he could go in business. His requests were refused. and finally the head of the firm became, angry and wired Buck to send in his trunk and con- slider himself discharged. Mir Abel said Bucks trunk should have con- tained s13,00O worth of goods when 1t came back. but that on its arrival a number of fine pieces valued at s7.000 were missing. Mir Abel said he finally located some of the miss ing jewelry in a Boston pawnshop and then swore out a warrant for Bucks arrest.

Drastic Measures of Kentucky Moh
 Against Tobacco Trust.
 PRINCETON, Ky, Dec. 3.-The to. bacco stemmerles of John Steger and John c. Orr here, the latter controlled by the Imperial Tobacco company of New York, were destroyed by n fire which was kindled against them by a mob of masked men. Several cottages in the vicinity were badly damaged, but nobody was hurt. The loss is es- timated at about $17O,O00.
 The mob. which numbered about 300 men, entered Princeton between 1 and 2 a. m., seized the town marshal and disarmed him. took charge of the DO lice station and the waterworks and set fire to the buildings. Even had the fire company responded they would have been unable to obtain water. Masked men stood on guard, permit. ting nobody to come near until the buildings were completely enveloped In flames. A squad took charge of the telephone office. and no word of the affair was permitted to go out.
 When the members of the mob saw that the fire was beyond control they left the town, going in the direction of HopkinsvilIc. discharging re-olvers and rifles. The fire department then came out, but could only prevent the fire from destroying nearby buildings.
 The work of the mob is believed to be only a furtherance of the agitation by the tobacco raisers against the so called tobacco trust.
