NEGROES BECOME IMPUDENT
Resent Enforcement of Vagrant Law
at Beaumont.

Beaumont, Textile negroes OF
Beaumont, according to an unsigned
letter, have formed an organization for
the purpose of ~resenting anything done
to punish any of their race by the Off
Gals of the city. A few nights since
the officers of the city rounded up al
most a hundred negroes in the dives OF
the city, who were fined as Migrants or
ordered to leave town. Many negroes
left the next day, and it was thought
that this would be the end of the mat
ter, until the threatening letter was re-
ceived tonight. The letter warns
Mayor Fletcher of trouble, and ends by
saying that the negroes will yet rule
this city. The city authorities have
the matter in hand tonight, and if a
secret organization has been perfected
to precipitate trouble with the whites
action will be taken to end its existence
in short order.

TEXAS CATTLE w
Want Railroads to Take Off Advance
on Cattle Shipmets.

Washington.-Judge Samuel IL. Cow
an of Texas, counsel for the Texas Cat
tie Growers Association, appeared be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion today for the purpose of asking
that the commission issue an order re-
quiring the railroads to take off the 3
cents advance in the price of hauling
cattle from the Southwest to Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha and other points.
The commission heard this case very
fully soon after the rate was advanced
3 cents a hundred in 1903, and decided
that it was unreasonable. Judge Cow
an did not ask that an order be issued
at that time, as the commission did not
then have the authority to enforce such
order. 81 have no doubt the commits
sion will issue the ORDER" said Judge
Cowan, "having declared after a full
hearing of the case that the advance
was unreasonable the commission could
hardly refuse to make the order reduc-
inc it,"

Filling a Gasoline Lamp.
Fort Smith, Ark.-Atn noon today Mrs.
May Holman, keeper of a rooming
house in this city, was horribly and
fatally burned as the result of filling
the tank of a gasoline stove without
first extinguishing the burner. The
gas generated ignited and the flame
communicated to the woman's clothing,
and in an instant she was completely
enveloped in flames. In her frenzy she
ran out into the hall, through which
quite a breeze was blowing, and which
intensified the flame. At one time the
upper part of her body and her face
were completely hidden by the flames.
Some of the inmates of the house sought
to tear her clothing off, but, finding
themselves in danger of cremation, de-
sisted, the woman meanwhile giving
vent to agonizing shrieks as she ran
here and there begging for help. Two
negro men went to her, tore the burn
ing clothing from her body. They we're
obliged to cut her burning corset off
From her waist down Mrs. Holman was
actually burned to a crisp and fright
fully burned about the breast, face and
back. She died tonight.
