TUCKER A SUICIDE
NEWPORT NEWS BANKER USES HIS PISTOL.
Was Short S1O,OOO and When Sheriff Ap- preached His Room. Fired Through
 His Own Temple With Revolver.

Norfolk, Va, May 19.-Irwin Tucker, president of the Savings Bank of New port News, Va, committed suicide in his room over the bank in Newport News today just as Chief of Police Reynolds of that city opened his door to arrest him on a warrant charging him with default in the sum of $10,- 900.
 Tucker heard Chief Reynolds ask a negro porter on the outside as to the location of his room and standing in front of mirror put a bullet through his right temple. as the door was thrown open.
 The doors of the Savings Bank have been closed pending an investigation which Is now being made by the board of directors.
 The first suspicion that Tucker was a defaulter was received this morning in a note written by the suicide him. self. This note was found shortly af- ter the doors of the bank were opened today, 1t having been placed on the desk of Cashier R. Carter Perkins.
 Tucker admitted that he was short in his accounts, and said if any attempt was made to arrest him he would com init suicide. Immediately the directors of the bank were called together, a hurried examination resulted in the is- suance of the warrant.
 examination Of the safety deposit box in the savings bank revealed the fact that Fuckers life was insured for 30,000, which will cover all of his al- legged dedication.
 The Savings Bank of Newport News was largely patroniZed by the laboring classes of Newport News.
 President Tucker was about forty years of age.
 He was the son of former Mayor John s. Tucker. of Norfolk, now a re- tired lawyer of Washington, D. c.
 Mr. Tucker was formerly city editor of the old Norfolk Virginian and was postmaster of Newport News under the Cleveland administration.

Instance of GaIlantry of Naval Omcers
 Cited to Department.
 Washington, May 19.-The navy de- pertinent is in receipt of further evil dence of the heroic conduct of the personnel of that branch of the service when earthquake and fire overlook San Francisco. This came in the shape of a report from the United States na- val hospital at Mare Island giving the names of three officers who were pa- tients and who volunteered for duty when disaster overlook the Golden Gate city
 These officers were ensign R. c. Da- wis, Lieutenant A. Stokes, Marine Corps, and Lieutenant F. A. Udell, Ma rine Corps.
 Rear Admiral McCalla, commanding the Mare Island navy yard in forward ing their names to the department says
 These officers are, in the opinion of the commandant, to be commended for their zeal and for the fact, notwith- standing they are in the naval hospi- tai, they applied for or continued on duty after the earthquake and subse- quently fire in San Francisco.
 Lieutenant Stokes, 1t was shown con- tinued on duty at the main gate daily as officer of the guard while Ensign Davis and Lieutenant Udell were di- rected by the commandant in confor- mity with their request to proceed to San Francisco and report for duty. When the emergency was over these two officers returned to Mare Island and re-entered the hospital.

 The Advertiser of April 27th copied editorial from The Buffaio News (Rep5 in which it is stated that bonds of Southern States issued during recon struction time when carpet-baggers extent of about $500, 100000 face val ue; that the Supreme Court of the United States has held in an action brought by South Dakota against North Carolina that bond to the amount of $10,000 issued by North Carolina many years ago will have to be pald accrued interest Is nearly $30,0O0.
 Also, that prompted by that experi- rnent some holders of South Carolina bonds have tried to get the State of them, but Governor Warner indignant 1y refuses to be party to any such scurry action.

 "One of the interesting features of the case is the question of how the Cnless North Carolina is willing to fn- elude the debt in her tax budget or to appropriate the money for it from the public revenue. there Is no way in
 
 The News evidently had not read the opinion and decree of the United States Supreme Court in the case of South Dakota against North Carolina. Inasmuch as there is recurrent dis cussion In many newspapers through put the country of the default of the Southern States to the extent as esti- mated of $300,00O,OO0 face value, more or less. upon bonds issued by them, re- spectively during the period of recon struction, 1t may be matter of inter est and instruction to state briefly as possible the facts in the South Dakota case, the decree of the court therein and the mode of Its enforcement.
 The facts summarized from the state ment of the Court III it's opinion are as follows:
 The State of North Carolina in 1S49 chartered the North Carolina Railroad Company with a capital of $S,GOO, 900, divided into 30,00O shares of SI00 each. The State subscribed for 0.O00 shares.

In 1885 q further sub scription for 10000 shares was author ized by statute to be issued on the same terms and with the same secur- l fty. At the same session an act was passes incorporating the Western North Carolina Railroad Company, which au- | thoriZed a subscription by the State | and the issue of bonds secured hv the | stock or the company held by the i State.

ISSUED FIERY MANIFESTO.
Cuban Liberal Party Doesn't RecOgn
 Palma Government


 Palma Government.
 Havana. May 19.-On the eve of In- dependence Day, May 20, which also will be the occasion of President Palma's second inauguration. the liber- al party has issued a manifesto charg- ing that all the members of Congress who did not hold over were elected by coercion, fraud and force after the lib- eral party which comprised a majori- ty of the citizens of Cuba had been compelled to abandon the campaign and that the President and Vice President were not elected by the votes of the people.
 The manifesto declares. that, there fore, all laws. orders or decrees pro- mulgated after that date will not be binding upon honest citizens who know their rights; if they obey, it will be from prudence only. which will consti- ute an act of humiliation.
 The manifesto further says that patriotism and pride justify refusal to obey. The document states that the liberal party will not dissolve, but will make a campaign for the restoration of constitutional rights. While the lan- guage of the document is fiery, no re- sistance to the authority of the execu- tive or Congress is anticipated.

DIsQUIET IS CAUSED.
News of New Mexican Fishing ExpedI
 tlOn ArOuses Fear.

tiOn ArOuses Fear.
 Washington, May 19.-Advices receiv- ed here to the effect that the three fishing companies operating from head quarters al Pensacola, Mobile and Gal weston are fitting out other schooners to fish in the gulf waters have caus- ed some disquiet in view of the afI- nounced intention of the Mexican gov ernment to seize every foreign vessel taking fish in Mexican waters.
 It appears that the Mexican govern ment esserts that for many years American poachers have been operat- ing within the three mile limit, and after repeated warnings 1t has now determined to stop the practice. As the United States has no treaty with Mexico, there is no ground for protest on the part of the state department in case of seizures, once the fact Is established that vessels were actually within the marine league of shore.
 The department Is making an inquiry now to determine this fact in the case of three vessels recently seized off the coast of Yucatan and meanwhile 1t IS hoped that no fresh issues will be made.

 The men who planned and backed the Overland Route were big and brave. but they could have done nothing with out little army of agents and drivers every whit as big and brave in their action, white hot and picturesque, such as you may find today only on the firing line of an army.
 There was an agent in charge of each division of 250 miles of road, with all Its stations and equipment. He bought harness, and kept the buildings in re- pair. He fed his passengers and fought for their lives, he kept his driv. CTS on the jump and his mule teams as well, in which he must stand off the Indian raids that lent zest to trip in the overland coach. There was no sum- moning wrecking crew by wire when a coach toppled off mountain road. The agent was king of his territory. and his responsibilities demanded that order of ability which made the Amer ican pioneers race of giants.

CARELESS OF cURFEW. -H.

Grand Forks Herald: Several Toys
were arrested in Fargo the o-her
night for being on the streets after
8 p. m, contrary to the curfew
ordinance. So far as we can recall,
this is the first time on record that an
arrest has been made for violation of
a curfew law. The curfew law is a
pleasant thing to have on the books,
but it's practical value has long been
doubted
In this city last Sunday night at
10 o'clock there were about 80 boys
ranging in age from II to IS years
loafing in front of the buildings be-
tween Fourth or Fifth street. They
amused themselves "guying" passers
by and lacked but a leader to get
themselves into mischief. This is an
excellent training school for the state
institution across the river, for which
the fault lies with the parents. A
number of sons of excellent people were
noted in the bunch. The same may
be observed almost any night in the
week. Why should not the officials
observe the curfew ordinance?

these "just as good" ranges finds that
after a years use the fire back is
twisted out of shape, the top is
warped, and there isn't lid on the
stove that is not either broken clear
across or badly cracked. A neighbor
bought range about the same time

more for it and it is in as good con-

bought. And if anything goes wrong
