FAMOUS CASES
 REOPENED

Washington, D. C., May 14.-The ad- joined hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission of the alleged agreement upon rates in the Orient
 came up today pursuant to adjourn ment from last month. At the hearing there was the production of the min utes of 1905 conferences between the
 Suez and Pacific Ocean steamship lines which resulted in an alleged agreement On rates on cotton fabrics to the Orient, which resulted in the reopening of the case in which these rates are complained before the Inter- state Commerce Commission. It was claimed by the representatives of the railroads that they were not repre- sented at the conferences. To show this they agreed to furnish the min- utes of the conference. It was object ed that the compliments should not be allowed to inspect the minutes, but it was admitted by MT. Boyd, who represented the railroads, that Mr.
 Grownham, one of the participants, represented besides a Pacific Ocean water line to the Orient, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads.

GIRL VICTIM
 PASSES AWAY
Miss Taylor, Assaulted at Chatta- nooga by Negro, Who Was Lynched Later, Dies as
 Result.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 13.- Miss Nevada Taylor, the young girl who was criminally assaulted by Ed Johnson, a negro, January 2S, 1906, for which crime the negro was lynched by a mob on the ooun- ty bridge two months later, died Sunday night at her childhood ;loms, in Findlay, Ohio, of nervous trouble, brought about by the crime.
 Miss Taylor was the 19-year-old daughter of the superintendent of Forest Hill cemetery, and the crime was committed at the entrance to the cemetery.
 The case has been a celebrated one since :he supreme court of the United States has Sheriff J. F. Shipp, several of his deputies and alleged members of the mob under a charge of contempt as a result of the lynching. Miss Taylor died at the home of her sister, having gone to Ohio about six months ago.

A CONTEST
 IS PROMISED

New York, May 14.-Something in the nature of i contest is promised at today's annual meeting of the Della ware & Hudson Company today. New interests have become identified with the company and will attempt to place their representatives on the board of managers. Should they succeed in the effort it is expected that a general re- organization of the methods of man. agement will be effected. These new interests, which are said to have ac- cumulated sufficient Delaware & Hud- son stock to give them an important voice in it's affairs, are already largely identified with other leading anthra- cite coal properties. Among those slated for a place on the board is J. Rogers Maxwell, chairman of the ex- ecutiye committee of the Central Rail- road of New Jersey. George F. Baker and Marcus Mayer have also been mentioned as probable future members of the board of managers. Many of the stockholders of the company believe that their interest would be better served by the adoption of a more ag- gressive policy by the company in the development of it's resources, and it is said in quarters we'll informed on the company's affairs that the present plan for effecting a change in the board of managers will in all probabiI- ity be carried out Mr. Maxwell says there will be nothing like a general reorganization of the board. He ex- pressed the opinion that with such a practical man as President Loree at the head of the road it was likely to develop a good deal more rapidly than in the past. President Loree. who re- gently inspected the company's lines ill this state and Pennsylvania, is now inspecting the Canadian lines of the company, including the Quebec exten- sion.

ouittal would outrage Canaan and lay
it open to untold danger. Such people
needed lesson.
The Tocsin interviewed the towns
great ones, printing their opinions Of
the Nervousness of the crime and the
character of the defendants lawyer.
1.-THE Hon. P. ]. Parrot, who so ably
represented this county in the legisla-
ture some fourteen years ago, could
scarcely restrain himself when ap-
preached by reporter as to his senti-
ments anent the repulsive deed. 1
should like to know how long Canaan
is going to put up with this sort of
business were his words. I am law
abiding citizen, and / have served
faithfully and with my full endeavOr
and ability to enact the laws and
statutes of my state, but there is
point in my patience, I would state,
which lawbreakers and their lawyers
may not safely pass. OF what use are
our most solemn enactments, I may
even ask of what use is the legislature
itself, chosen by the will of the people,
if they are to ruthlessly be set aside by
criminals and their shifty protectors?
The blame should be put upon the law
yers who by tricks enable such rascals
to escape the rigors Of the carefully en-
acted laws, the fruits of the sOlon'S
labor, more than upon the criminals
themselves. In this case If there is
any miscarriage of justice l will say
here and now that in my opinion the
people of this county will be sorely
tempted, and, while 1 do not believe in
lynch law, yet if that should be the
result it is my unalterable conviction
that the vigilantes may we'll turn their
attention to the lawyers or lawyer who
brings about such miscarriage. l am
sick of it,"
The Tocsin did not print the inter-
view it obtained from Louie Farbach-
the same Louie Farbach who long ago
had owned a beer saloon with little
room behind the bar, where shabby
boy sometimes played dominoes and
seven up with loafers; not quite the
same Louie Farbach, however, in out
ward circumstance, for he was now the
brewer Of Farbach beer and making
Canaan famous. His rise had been
Teutonic and sure, and he contributed
one-twentieth of his income to the Ger
man Orphan asylum and One-tenth to
his party's campaign fund. The TWEEN
tieth saved the orphans from the coun-
ty, while the 1.-THE gave the county to
his party.
