Judge DickersOn VIII Make . Fed
. eral NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of An
tIeiDated Trouble with Negroes.


Chickasha, /. T., July saturday
noon a report reached this city Of the
assault upon Mary Robinson, the Is
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ira
Robinson, living about IS miles east
Of here, near the little village of Wo-
mack. The little girl was in the road
on the way to one of the neighbors
living a short distance away when she
was accosted by negro, seemingly
about 80 years of age. The girl was
able to reach the house and give the
alarm and tell what had happened. A
posse was formed in the immediate
neighborhood and at once started in
search of the fiend. A good descrip-
ton was furnished by the victim. She
described him as wearing a checked
suit and carrying a grip; he was of
rather light complexion and medium
build. AS soon as word reached this
city two other posses were formed who
Immediately started in pursuit.
About 8 O'Clock trace Of him was
found near the little town Of Bradley,
Is miles east of here. He was seen
to enter big cornfield and one Of the
posses Immediately surrounded 1t and
began to work their way to the CEN
ter. The negro was found and as soon
as he saw he was cornered he threw
up his hands and begged them for
mercy and not to kill him.
Deputies from Chickasha and Purcell
were there and made formal demand
for the prisoner but were unable to get
possession Of him as the mob had de-
cided that he should be put to death.
He was then taken to a spot on Wal
nut creek, less than a quarter mile
from the place of the crime and a
rope was thrown over a tree on the
bank Of the creek about eighteen feet
from the ground and the negro was
pulled up until he was strangled. Be-
fore life was extinct, he was lowered
on to q pile Of brush and logs that
had been saturated with oil, and 1t
was then set on fire.
J. T. Dickerson, United States fed
eral Judge of this district has already
served notice that special grand
jury will be empanelled Monday to in
vestigate the case and subpoenas will
be issued for every man thought to
have had hand in the lynching.
At the hour of sending this message.
word has come from the little town Of
Womack to the federal authorities here
that the negroes Of that neighborhood,
Of which there is a large settlement,
are arming and expect to take ven
geance on the whites, and ask for as
sistance in the way Of arms and ann
munition. A crowd Of some twenty
five or thirty men have been formed.
led by deputy marshals and have
started for the scene Of the trouble.
The negroes In that section are bad
lot, partly mixed with Creek Indians
and have formerly given the officers
no end of trouble. For the past two
years they have been comparatively
quiet. More trouble is anticipated be-
fore the affair is ended and clash may
occur at any moment.

Gov. IDE REPLIES.
The Philippine Governor Resents
Alleged Threats Made by Arch:
bishop Harty Of Manila.
CHURCH LANDS IN DISPUTE.
Catholic PreIate Threatens to Ex.
cite Hostility Against the Govern
ment in the Islands Unless Gov
ernOr's Order In Recalled.

Manila, June 2S.-The publication In
the United States of the letter OF
Archbishop Harry Of Feb. 20 10 Gov.
General Ide concerning the submission
to the courts of the question OF the
title Of the San Juan de Dlos property
led Gov. Ide to give out his reply to
Archbishop Harry Wednesday after
noon. Gov. Ide took umbrage at this
portion Of the archbishop's letter:
Before going to court as a peaceful
American citizen | shall have had read
simultaneously in $50 pulpits solemn
protest against this attempted con-
fiscation. This protest will go through
the archipelago and will reach the
White house. It will surely be taken
MI by the American people. This step
has not yet been taken and time still
remains to recall your order"
Gov. Ide's reply states that the mat
ter rests upon two opinions of the
attorney general In 1902, but that no
action has yet been taken. The COVER
NOR says in his reply:
"A portion of your letter produced
a painful impression upon me. 1t
was what seemed to contain threat
that the course you will take through
the Philippines will excite hostility
against the government. agree that
II your action should go through the
archipelago 1t would reach the doors
Of the White house, but I am certain
that the result would be far other than
the one you had in mind"
Gov. Ide said Wednesday that no ac-
ton had been taken in the matter
since his letter was sent March z.
There had been no official action since
the opinions had been given by the
attorney general. Archbishop Harry
stated Wednesday that he had not
done anything further and regretted
2he publication Of the correspondence
las he regarded the matter as personal
and unoficial. The dispute relates to
properties at San Juan de Dios. The
hospital is claimed to be the property
OF the government. 1t was used by the
troops during the occupation of Man
fla. The claims Of the church are
based on a transfer Of the property
10 the franciscan friars during the
spanish regime. The American on
jcials claim that the property was
supported by the Spanish and was
sCwned by the Spanish government and
now belongs to the United States gov
lernment. The controversy between
the archbishop and the governor gen.
oral was brought by an alleged order
70 take the case to the courts. Gov.
lrde declares that no such action was
taken.

WHEN ROOT GOES SOUTH.


Washington, June 3O.-secretary
Root will accept the hospitality OF
Chile and make part of his trip along
the west coast of'south American In a
Chilean warship. The United States
cruiser Charleston, on which Secretary
Root will sail for South America is too
large craft to work its way along
the inside passage from the Strait OF
Magellan to Valparaiso, Chile, and
consequently the American secretary Of
state and his party will probably leave
the Charleston at Sandy Point in the
Strait of Magellan, and go aboard a
Chilean. man of war which can work
its way along between the islands OF
the west coast and the mainland, thus
shortening the trip by several hundred
miles and enabling Mr.. Root TO remain
longer in Chile.
Secretary Root will probably be in
Rio Janeiro for about ten days. HIS
stops on the west coast Of South
American will be at Valparaiso, Chile
Callao, Peru, and Guayaquil, Ecuador
From Valparaiso he will journey by
rail to Santiago, the capital Of Chile.
He will also take the rail trip from
Callao to Lima, the Peruvian capital
The ditance from Guayaquil to Quito
the capital Of Ecuador, is 80 great that
Mr.. Root probably will be unable 70
make the trip.
After crossing the isthums Of Panama
MIR. Root will go to Cartagena, Colon
bia, to pay his respects to that govern
ment The Colombian secretary oil
state will doubtless be at Cartagena to
greet Mr.. Root and It IL not unlikely
that PRECEDENT Reyes himself viii make
the long trip from Bogota to greet the
American secretary Of state. carta-
gsna will be Mr.. Roots last stop b.
fore returning to New York.

CONGRESS- HAS ADJOURNED.
It Was Late Saturday Before Law
makers Got Away.
President Roosevelt Issued state-
ment in which He Praised Work
Accomplished During sesniOn.

Washington, July 2.-The frst ses-
sion Of the flfty-ninth congress came
to an end at 10 O'Clock Saturday Eight,
hours after II should have ended. The
incapacity of the government printing
Office was responsible for keeping both
branches in session at least eight
hours beyCtnd the time originally
scheduled for adjournment.
There was not thing for congress
to do, but 1t could not adjourn because
the bills were not properly enrolled.
In one case a bill had actually been
signed by the president when 1t was
discovered by Secretary Root that ow-
ing to the blunder Of the printing office
It contained an appropriation of $4,000.
900 which had no business in the bill
Then congress had to pass an act re-
pealing so much Of this measure as
granted the 100000 and that bill
had to be enrolled.
President Roosevelt Saturday night
on the adjournment of congress, die
tated q statement concerning the work
accomplished during the session. He
said In part:
"In the session that has Just closed.
the congress has done more suostan-
tial work for good than any congress
at any session since became familiar
with public affairs. The legislation has
Neen along the line of real constructive
craftsmanship Of the most practical
and efficient type and bill after bill
has been enacted which has been Of an
Importance so great that 1t is fair to
say that the enactment Of any one Of
them would have made the session
memorable; such, for instance, as the
railroad rate bill, the meat inspection
measure, the pure food bill, the bill
for free alcohol in the arts, the con-
sular reform bill. Panama canal legis-
lation, the joint statehood bill and
the naturalization bill.
1T is noteworthy that not single
measure which the closest scrutiny
would warrant us. calling Of doubtful
propriety, has been enacted, and on
the other hand, no influence Of any
kind has availed to prevent the enact
ment of the laws most vitality neces-
sary to the nation at this time"
