SENATORS AND THE RATE LAW,
From Aberdeen Sews
The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Herald
has been Investigating the sena-
torial situation regarding the
railroad rate legislation. He
has attempted to discover where
each senator stands in regard
to the precise legislation desired
by the president, and by asking
the senators themselves, their
friends, and reading the news
papers from their respective
states, he finds the following
senator's in favor Of the legisla-
ton demanded by President
Roosevelt:
Republicans: Allison, Burkett,
Burrows, Clapp, Cullom, Dolly
er, Flint, Gamble, Hopkins,
Knox, LaFolIette. Long, Nelson
Penrose, Perkins, Warner-16.
Democrats; Bacon, Bailey,
Berry, Carmack, Clark, Clay,
Culberson, Daniel, Dubois, Fost-
er, German. Latimer, McCreary,
McEnery, McLaurin. Mallory,
Martin, Money, Newlands, Over
man, Patterson Pettus, Raynor,
Simmons, Taliaferro, Teller, Till.

Total for legislation, 43.
The senator's. opposed to rate
legislation OF the kind proposed
by the president, are given as
follows:
Republicans: AIdrich, Alger, |

Foraker, Fulton, Hansborough, |
Kean, Kittredge, Lodge, Platt,
Scott, Smoot, Spooner, Warren,

Democrats: Clark (Mont.) |

OF the senator's not committed
but probably favorable to the
presidentialplan, there are: Re.
publicans- Beveridge. era ii g
Dick. Frye Hale, Hemenway
and Heyburn-6; Democrats
Blackburn, Frazier and Stone

The Republicans not commit
ted and probably opposed to
the legislation recommended by |
the president are: Ankeney, |
Burnham, Carter, Dillingham;,
Gallinger, McCumber, MillHrd, |
Nixon, Piles, Proctor and Suth-
erland-1l.
The News does not know
whether the correspondent has
correctly placed Senator Kilt,
redge or not. 1t hopes he has.
The opposition to the measure
among Republican senator's is
wholly to that section Of the
law giving to the interstate
commerce commission absolute
and final power in the matter
of rates without allowing the
roads an appeal to the courts
before the rates go into effect,
The News does not believe that
the roads should be deprived OF
the right Of appeal. 1t believes
the law. if it is passed with that
provision, will do great harm to
the railroad interests Of the
country. An unjust rate put in;
to effect by an injudicious com
mission, and going into effect
without allowing the roads a
chance to have the matter first
adiudicated by thecourts, might

FREEMAN JONET To HANG.
Governor Glenn Refuses to Interfere
With Sentence OF the Court.

HllH OcnttubG vi tlc buulk
For sometime Governor Glenn
has had under consideration the
matter of Freeman Jones, now
under sentence of death, and
who will die on the 18th of this
month unless there is further
executive clemency shown the
negro. 1t is learned here that
the governor has found nothing
that would testify him in inter-
fering with the sentence of the
court and the probability is that
the negro will hang before Christ
mas.
The counsel for the negro,
Messrs. r. o. Everett and Delos
W. Sorrell, appointed by the
court and served in the case as a
courtesy to the court, has made a
hard fight for the negro's life.
They made a good fight in the
trial of the case but there was
not a single fact upon which
they could rely to save the life
of the negro. He was convicted,
but the jury thought that it was
a case in which there was a great
deal of ignorance and whiskey
and they recommended the court
that mercy be shown. The
court could do nothing lbut pro-
nounce the sentence of the law
and Freeman Jones was senten-
ced to hang on November 2.
An appeal was taken to the
higher court, this acting as a stay
of the execution, and then the
appeal was abandoned. Then
the lawyers carried the case to
the governor and the states
chief executive was asked to
save the life of the negro and
send him to the penitentiary for
life. The governor granted a
respite in order to look into the
matter, this respite being to Dec
ember Is.
After this the facts were pre-
sented to the governor by the
counsel representing the doomed
negro and the governor heard all
the facts. These facts the gov
ernor has had under consideration
and it is learned that he has de-
cided that there is nothing he can
do in the matter.
Freeman Jones is charged and
convicted of burglary in the first
degree for entering the home of
Mrs. Jack Barker. in East Dur
ham. He went into the home at
a late hour at night, about 3
O'Clock, and after opening the
front door. having entered from
the rear. he grabbed Mrs. Bar
ker and dragged her into the
yard. This was after he had
blown out the lamp in the room.
The cries Of Mrs. Barker and
her aged mother attracted the
attention from a negro house
nearby and as the negro man
and negro woman were running
to her help they called out that
they were coming. Jones then
jumped and ran off, being ar
rested soon after that IN his home,
He was muddy, had on his shoes
and pants in bed and had in his
hand a railroad spike. When he
was taken before Mrs. Barker
she identified him and at the
same time some of her hair was
taken from a button on the
negro's coat. He did not deny
the crime. saying that he was
SO drunk he did not remember
anything he did after 10 o'clock
at night.
The final scenes in this tragedy
Is now about to be enacted and L
looks as if Jones will soon nav
with his life the penalty Of his
crime.

aourdan Mangum Gets Six Months In
Jail and Pays a Fine OF $500 and
therCOStS Of The Case.

lHSnJUSt0 vi th6 bdS6s
The prisoners found guilty of
Iselling whiskey and otherwise
violating the law was not the
order in the superior court this
week. Many cases have been
disposed of and others that have
not been before the court are
trembling for fear Of like fate
when their case is called.
Jordan Mangum submitted to
selling whiskey, and rather. than
stand trial submitted to thecharge
of assaulting a witness. The
sentence of the court was that
he pay a fine Of 5000 and the
cost of the case, and go to the
county Jail for six months.
During his confinement in Jail he
will be taxed with the expense
of his keeping also.
Following is list of the cases
that have been disposed of.

Wednesday the solicitor made
known that there was a company
in this county by the name of
the Durham Liquor company.
This fact came out in the trial of
two negroes, Arthur Wilkerson
and Alice Weathers, charged
with selling whiskey. 1t was
shown by the certified list in the
hands of solicitor that the Dur
ham County Liquor company
was composed of Mrs. R. C.
Peasants. Alice Weathers and
Arthur Wilkerson, the last two
being negroes. Itwas also shown
that the place of business of this
company was at No. 209 Wat
kins street. This stirred up a
yretty kettle of fish," A white
woman, negro man and a negro
woman in the liquor business to-
gether in a county that is under
the prohibition laws.
Charles and Jesse Crabtree,
two white boys and brothers,
were convicted-or rather enter
ed pleas of guilty-to the charge
of selling whiskey. They did
not have any license from the
government but were in the en-
ploy of Jordan T. Mangum, who
was given a severe sentence.
There were four charges against
Charles Crabtree and three again
st lessee. In one Of the cases
against each of the young men
the court gave them three months
and the judgment was suspended
in the other cases. They are
both under bond and were given
until Thursday in which to settle
up their business affairs and re-
port to the court for road service.
WAS FINED $50.
J. y. Mitchell, a white man.
was charged in two cases with
selling whiskey. There was no
license connected with his case,
but it was a plain case for viola
ting the local option laws. The
court fined him $50 and all costs
in one case and judgment was
suspended in the other.
Another whiskey case was that
against w. w. Ellington. He
was charged with selling whiskey
and his name is among those who
have license from the govern
ment. He was under bond and
when the case was called he
failed to answer and the court
ordered that a capias be issued
for his arrest. His bond was
forfeited.
BURGLARY CASE ENDS.
There came to an end a case
in which there was a great deal
to do about very little. This was
the case of burglary against
Captain Z. T. White and John
Davis, the prosecuting witness
being Mrs. Coley. The solicitor
refused 10 send the case before
the grand jury and a mol pros.
was entered.
