man. Brought woe Tor Che Play.
Special to The Journal.
Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-It has devel-
oped that the press agent of the Clans
man company was responsible for the
riot that attended the first performance
Of that play in this city the other
night and brought an order from Mayor
Weaver forbidding the further produc-
ton of the drama here. The manage
ment of the company today asked an
injunction restraining the mayor from
stopping the play, and the question is
being argued today.
Following a plan he had introduced
into other cities, the press agent in
duced three negro ministers to nelke
a protest to the mayor not to allow
the play to be given here on account
Of recent lynchings in the SOUTH
Circulars were distributed in the black
belts, which are numerous, as there are
10000 blacks in Philadelphia. Incen-
diary placards were posted. This was
followed by hundreds of postal cards
thru the black colonies, signed with
fictitious names, and calling upon all
negroes to march to the theater and
destroy it. A few blacks were bought
to lead the mobs on.

Upton will challenge for: the America
cup. The challenge, which will come
either thru the Royal Ulster or the
Royal Cork Yacht club on his return

no difficulty in the way.

FARMERS MAY CURE MEATS
Congress Considers Means Of Combat
ting the Packing House.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 24.-Plans for op-
posing the packing companies and the
fruit commission dealers were discussed
at the meeting Of the Farmers Nation
al Cooperative congress last night.
Two schemes probably will be put
into execution. One is that the mem
bers Of the congress will try to cure
the majority of the meat which they
use themselves. and will also cure meats
for the markets. The other plan will
be to have an agent in each county
to handle all the stock Of the members
and ship to another agent at the mar
ket, who will sell direct to the packing
house. There is no intention to build
a cooperative packing-hcuse.
Another grievance which the farmers
have is against the fruit commission
dealers, and an effort will be made to
organize the union i'll fruit-growing
sections.

RAILROAD PAID
ELEVATION CHARGE
Federal Grand Jury Now Debat-
ing Whether It Was a
Rebate.
CIRCUMSTANCES MAKE
CASE COMPLICATED
Wisconsin Central Says Payment
Was Necessary as a Legiti-
mate Offset.
yesterdays late proceedings page %

Grain elevation charges are cutting
a big figure in the special federal
grand jury probing into railroad re-
bates now under way in Minneapolis.
In the case under investigation to-
day, the elevation charge was paid
by a railroad company to a grain
shipper to overcome, OF offset, its
terminal disability.
The disability consisted in the fact
that the road was not an initial grain
line and had no terminal elevator.
The charge was paid to the ship
per because the railroad owning the
elevator refused to allow the other
line to pay the elevation charge direct.
Therefore, after the line making the
elevation charge had collected it from
the grain shipper the railroad under
Investigation made it good to the
shipper.
No denial of the transaction is made
by the railroad line. It announced its
purpose to absorb the elevation charge
last February. This process puts 1t on
the same basis as the lines which have
no terminal disability. It transported
the grain at the standard tariff rate OF
71a cents to Chicago or Milwaukee. Had
it not absorbed the elevation charge
the shipper would have had to pay 8
cents hundred pounds freight.

A Great Comet in 1910.

The most famous OF all comets,
though not the largest and most bril-
liant, will again be visible in 1910.
This is Halley's comet, so called from
it's Identification by the great astron-
omer who was the friend of Sir Isaac
Newton. Halley's Investigations Of
astronomical records led him to as
sert that the comet which he had OBJ
served in 1912 had appeared in 1881
and 1907 and to predict it's reappear-
ance in 1853. The fulfllment Of his
prophecy excited the most intense
scientific interest and established be-
yond doubt the neriodicity of comets
and their NOV ,ents in orbits deter
mined by the law of gravitation. It's
last appearance was in 1885, its Pc
Rod varying between rs and sc years
on account Of the perturbing attrac-
tons of Jupiter and Saturn in certain
parts Of its orbit 1t was by that time
possible to calculate its movements
with so much greater accuracy than
before that it made its perihelion

dicted date 1t was not then very
grand object to the naked eye, but

Coomer, was arrested on the street
this morning by Deputy Sheriff Raj

He gave bond in the sum Of $3.50.
He arrived in town last night from

was !,il:el. He remained with the

Geo. g:a. Since leaving the circus he
has beea 1ssaks1.y his way back to
Sumter b. slow stages.
To Deputy sheriff Rafield he stat
ed that he knows nothing about the
killing of Mr.. Gaillard. He says he
was in car no. Z of the circus train
when the shooting occurred and he
neither saw nor heard anything that
occurred outside at the time. He
also says that he never heard that
there was to be a trial Of men accus-
ed of killing Mt. Gaillard until the
circus was in Georgia. He knew
nothing about any of the circus en-
pioyes being wanted at the trial and
did not hear that he was wanted as a
witness.
1t was thought by many who heard
the evidence in the trial Of Spivens
and McCoomer that if Mr.. Baskin
could be put on the stand that he
might be able to throw some light on
the mystery, but his statements to Mr..
Rafield indicate that he knows moth
ing about the case and that the mys-
terry that has enshrouded it from the
first is to remain unrelieved.
