The New Workers Applaud His u
teranees on the Race Question.

Waterloo, N. X, April 18.
Senator Ben r. Tillman, of South
Carolina, delivered characteris-
tically sensational address before
a large and apparently sympathet-
ic audience here tonight. His
topic was the race question from a
Southern standpoint, and despite
his radical views, which be ex-
pressed ia no uncertain terms, he
was frequently applauded, and
when he declared the doctrine Of
equality as set forth in the consti-
tuition was damnable and criminal
he was met with cries of approval
and a prolonged hand -clapping.
His demand that the wrong
done the South by that amend
ment be righted By its repeal also
won 4 storm of applause, and the
Carolinian was agreeably surpris-
led at the prevalence of what he
Regarded as purely Southern SEN

VARDAMAN IN SMITH.
He Has the Crowd With Him in a
Speech at Raleigh.

Raleigh, Miss, April II. Cir
cult Court convened at Raleigh
Monday, the 18th. At least 800
voters of the county were pres
ent, representing every locality
and hamlet. The principal event
of the day was an address by
Governor Vardaman in the inter
est OF his senatorial candidacy.
The Governor was most cordially
received by the citizenship of the
county prior t. his address, and
given an acclamation at bis close.
The address was replete with
burning eloquence, wit and inn
agery. but more of sound, states
manlike reasoning. At first the
applauses was frequent, but soon
the audience became one of still
ness and attention, which was
only broken by approval of some
principle or commendation of
some official act Of the Governor.
At the close IL became apparent
that the audience had not only ap-
proved, but appreciated the fear
less discussion of the campaign
issues.
The Governor contends that his
position in, reference to railroad
ownership is either misquoted or
misunderstood; that be has no
| fear that it shall ever become nee
essary to advocate Government
Ownership, and that such owner
ship is undesirable, until the alter
native is found of the Govern
Iment owning the railroads or the
railroads the Government.
But the Governors position
on the repeal Of the fifteenth and
modification of the fourteenth
amendments was the occasion Of
the deepest interest. He main,

MEAT OR CEREALS
A Question of Interest to All Careful

Arguments on food are interesting
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them. nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked. starchy

on peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential

SOCIETY. FOR BLACKMAII
TURKS AND ARMtNIANS
The Hunchakist, Formerly Operated
For Patriotic Purposes, Has Fallen
to Criminality.

New York. July 26.-Rev. Lamont
Martogessian. once treasurer of the
Hunchakist Armenian society. which
outsiders say has fallen from its high
estate of patriotism to the practice of
blackmail, gave today a new twist to
the district attorneys investigation of
the organization. The priest had been
subpoenaed to tell what he knew This
was to the effect that the present agi-
tation was directed by reputable Ar
menians against a band Of assassins,
inspired by the Turkish government,
whose hired spies systematically
sought to discredit the patriotic Ar
menians in this country.
The pastor of the Armenian Apos-
tolic church had, he admitted, former
ly been a member and treasurer of the
Hunchakists, but some time ago he
withdrew. He knew nothing of the
murder of the rug merchant, Tavshan-
jan. who refused to paw $4,000 for
his life. If extortion had been prac-
ticed he knew nothing of II. On the
contrary he told the district attorney
that he himself was the object of per-
secution on the part of the Turkish
government

A STtPFATHtR'S CRIME
AGAINST A YOUNG GIRL
A Serious Charge Against ]. S. Garri
son Of the Osborn District Who Can
Not Be Found.

The Osborn district was stirred yes
terday morning by the news OF a crime
committed by a resident. ]. S. Garri-
son. in an attempted assault upon his
step-daughter. thirteen-year- old
girl, Emma Haulot. The girl was heard
screaming. but she succeeded in
breaking away from Garrison and
shortly afterward she appeared at the
house of a neighbor, her clothing torn
to shreds. This happened between
eight and nine O'Clock on Thursday
night Garrison followed the girl for
short distance when she fled. but
as she neared the house of refuge he
turned back
Yesterday morning a warrant for his
arrest was sworn out in Justice john
stones court by Elliott Evans, a
neighbor, and soon afterward several
other neighbors appeared and express
ed regret that that honor had not fall
len to them.
The warrant was sent to the office
OF the sheriff and Deputies Wood and
Adams set out in search OF Garrison.
! They learned on arriving at the ranch
4 that he had left at three o'clock in
! the morning and that he had taken a
Winchester with him. No trace of him
could be secured, but later. informa-
tion was received which led to the be-
lief that Garrison would be captured
before daylight this morning.
The girl said that that was not the
| first time she had been attacked by
hnr hftf IA
she had refrained from making COM
| plant. on one occasion after an at
/ tempted assault upon the girl, Garri-
! son fled and went to Humboldt. where
he remained for a week. No criminal
proceedings having been instituted he
returned. His wife. the mother of his
, intended victim, has been withheld by
fear from complaining against him.
She must have heard the screams of
her daughter night before last for they
were heard all over the neighborhood
yet she was silent until the neighbors
took the matter up. The deputies
yesterday evening brought the girl. ac-
companied by her mother. to town for
medical examination as to the extent
of the injury which had been inflicted
upon her.
The Haulot family has resided in
the valley for several years and it's
members are all most highly respect
ed. Mrs. Haulot was divorced a cou-
pie of years ago from her husband
and for some time thereafter Garrison
was employed about the ranch. A year
or more ago he married Mrs. Hauot.
Very little is known OF him. He is
about thirty-four years Of age. He
came here from Texas a short time
before he was employed by his wife
as a ranch hand.
1t was stated last night that the
reputation of Garrison in Texas was
bad; that he had committed a SINH
lar crime there and that it was for
that reason that he had emigrated to
Arizona.

FACTS
OF DISASTER
The Inquiry Into the Col
umbia Horror
Captain of the San Pedro
Explains Refusal to Take
Survivors Aboard.

San Francisco July 26.-Investiga-
ton of the sinking of the steamer
Columbia off the coast of Mendocino
county by colliding with the steam
schooner San Pedro. whereby accord
ing to the latest revised figures. eighty
one lives were lost. Ii was resumed
today by Captain Birmingham, Unit
ed States supervising inspector. The
officers and members of the crew of
both vessels were examined and t he
dispositions of Captain Hansen and his
first officer were read.
The testimony brought out state
ment from Captain Birmingham that
II was the first time he had ever
known of life preservers actually be-
ing effective i'm saving life. qualifying
it by adding that people usually were
too frightened to don them correctly.
Captain Hansen in his report denied
that he had been unnecessarily cruel
in refusing to take more survivors on
board after he had rescued 75. giving
as a reason for his action that his own
vessel was in such a condition that 1t
was dangerous to approach her. He
therefore ordered the other boats to
keep off. Chief Engineer Williams tes-
titled that the San Pedro did not low
er all its boats because that vessel was
undermined. The alleged action of
Third officer Hawse of the Columbia
refusing to give his coat to a woman,
was brought out in the testimony of
Quartermaster Curran.
He later testified that there were
unclothed women in the boat and when
Hawse was asked to give his coat to
one of them, he had refused. saying the
coat belonged to him. The women. said
Curran. had been exposed an hour be-
fore Hawse covered them with a piece
OF = sail.
Hawse interrupted the proceedings
by interrupting an indignant denial.
and for few moments counter denials
flew back and forth between the two
officers. Hawse was placed on the
stand and testified that he offered his
coat to Miss Maybelle Watson. the
plucky Berkeley girl, who refused 1t.
and asked him to give II to another
woman more destitute than herself

The Jury In the Glass Bribery Case
Widely Divided
The Noise of Argument From the Jury Room De-
noted Variety of Opinions Regarding the De-
fendant's Guilt.

San Francisco. July 26.-The case
and general manager of the Pacific
States Telephone company, charged
with the crime of bribing Supervisor
Boxton with the sum of $4,000, to vote
against the ordinance granting to the
Home Telephone company, a rival
franchise, went to the jury at o'clock
this evening after fourteen days of
actual trial and a day and a half of
arguments by Heney for the people,
and T. S. Coogan and Delmas for the
defense
The reading of Judge I.awlors
charge to the jury consumed one hour.
At its conclusion the auditorium OF
the Temple of Israel. temporarily used
as court room, was cleared. and the
jury was conveyed in a tally-ho to the
Fairmount hotel. Glass was placed
in the custody of a deputy sheriff and
went to a restaurant with Detective
DAILY of the defense. where they
dined.
The entire morning was occupied by
Delmas in the closing argument for the
defense. 1t was conceded by all. in
cluding the members of the prosecu-
tion. to be an exceedingly able review
and summarization of the evidence, an
able intellectual effort, a logical pre-
sentation of decided force; but those
whose familiarity with the reputation
of the leader of the Thaw defense as a
forensic giant. led them to expect a
really great speech, were disappoint-
ed.
Heney's argument was in striking
contrast 1t was the judgment of OBJ
servers that he exceeded his powerful
effort in closing for the prosecution
the SchmitZ extortion case. He spoke
at loss for words. He combined
analysis and review, invective and ap-
peal logic and denunciation, all ANAL
eamated with fire and tremendous en-
ergy.
In his speech Heney said: when
the time comes for me to die, would
ten thousand times rather have built
reputation for fighting the battles
of the people for right and honesty
and decency and justice than have il
said that / had crossed this great con-
tinent to prostitute my gifts i'm the de-
Tense of man who had shot down one
of his fellow men in cold blood in a
public theater"
AS Heney shouted this defiance he
faced Delmas squarely and pointed at
him a finger, as of scorn. The vet
eran of the Thaw defense did not lift
his eyes from the manuscript he was

The jury cannot find the defend

and Intentionally paid or participated

it is not enough to show suspicious
circumstances. showing that the de-

shown that he participated in the act
or advised and encouraged its commits

1t is not sufficient for the prosecu-
tion to prove that bribery may have
been committed. that the defendant
may have had reason to suspect 1t at
the time or afterwards. or that he ac-
quiesced in II, or derived any advant-
age from it. directly or Indirectly

legal offense by merely refraining from
preventing the crime of bribery, the
commission of which he has knowl-
edge.
The failure of Glass to testify Is not
to be taken by the jury as the slight
est evidence of his guilt
1T is not incumbent upon the de-
fendant TO prove his innocence, nor Is
1t incumbent upon him to explain SUE
picionable circumstances. He has a
right to stand mute and demand that

Judge Lawlor instructed the depu-
ties to lock the jury in a suite of
rooms at the hotel and allow no one

tered upon its deliberations at six
O'Clock and at 1880 were given dinner.
At $3.50 the attorneys and large
crowd was still waiting but no word
had been received from the court or
the bailiffs in charge of the jury.
1t is learned that before dinner Jur-

nearly four hours the jury has been
