FLAME HERE

The Choice Given Passen-
gers on Burning Steamer
Nine Perished On Lake
Cayuga and Eleven Mis-
sing.

Auburn. n. Y. July 27.-The steam
boat Frontenac was burned and
beached opposite Harley's Point on
Lake Cayuga today and nine lives
were lost. The victims. all women ard
children passengers, were drowned.
Several other passengers We're Sc
verely burned before the boat was
beached. She lies tonight burned and
blackened in seven feet OF water. The
bodies of the women and children have
been recovered.
The following were drowned:
MRS. HOMER GENUNG, Freeville.
CARL GENUNG. 7-year-old son.
MRS. ZALIA McCREERY, Cohoes.
MISS LIDIA BENNETT. Frankfort
MISS STELLA CLINT0N. Ithaca
MISS MARIETTA SULLIVAN. Syr-

The six year old daughter of How
ard Able, of South Bloomingburg.
Two unidentified women.
The steamer. an old side wheel dou-
BILE deck craft, which has piled be-
tween Ithaca and Cayuga on the lake
for twenty-five years, left the former
place this afternoon for the upper
lake. carrying fifty passengers and a
crew of twelve men. In mid-lake a
fire broke out i'm the engine room and

crew OF twelve behaved splendidly.

Captain Brown directed the work Of
the crew and was the last to leave the
burning ship.
In strong contrast to the bravery of
the crew was the panic and in some
instances the cowardice of many of
the men among the passengers. In
their efforts to save themselves they
seriously impeded the work of the
crew. When the flames We're first dis
covered in mid-lake Captain Brown
turned the bow of the little steamer
toward the shore and set the crew to
work to subdue the flames il possible
and calm the passengers.
1t is not known just how the women
and children were thrown into the
water. II is thought that they became
panic stricken and either jumped in or
were forced overheard in the rush to
get into the boats.

vIoLAToRs OF LAW ARRESTED

Asheville. n. c. July 27.-Suiting the

who yesterday announced that the
railroad officials higher up should
be reached. Police Justice Reynolds to-
day issued warrants simultaneously
for the arrest o president w. w. Fin
ley. of the Southern Railway and Tick
ct Agent Wilson on the charge of vio-
lating the two cent law.
Finley was arrested and released on
habeas corpus proceedings early this
afternoon, while the ticket agent who
was taken from his post of duty, COM
pelling numerous passengers TO board

hearing was postponed until Monday.

declared that they were more than
satisfied. The states attorneys. while
realizing that the court. if he had
leaned at all. had given the benefit of
every doubtful point of law to the de-
fendant, are also satisfied.
In the charge much stress was laid
upon the testimony of Orchard and
the Jury was instructed to scrutiniZe
such testimony closely and take into
consideration any evidence which in
dicated that immunity or the promise
of favors had induced the accomplice
to take the stand against the defend
ant. The judge laid emphasis upon
every assumption on which the de-
fendant might be found not guilty and
declared that before a conviction could
be secured the prosecution must not
only remove every reasonable doubt
but the jury must be convinced to
moral certainty that the defendant is
guilty.
One of the most important of Judge
Woods instructions. as viewed from
the defense, was the following: ITO
find person guilty of conspiracy to
commit a crime ii is necessary for you
to be satisfied from the evidence be-
yond a reasonable doubt, that the par
ty accused shared in the criminal pur-
pose. and in this case if you find the
defendant did no overt act in carrying
out the conspiracy and did not enter
into an unlawful agreement, then,
even though you should be satisfied
from the evidence beyond reasona-
BILE doubt, that the defendant knew Of
Hid a;ssa,t
from it, such knowledge of the con-
spiracy on the part of the defendant
would be insufficient TO warrant you
in presuminG that he is guilty OF the
crime charged

The governor considers the victory

HAYWooD'S MOTHER PROS
TRATEO.

A tragic event of the day was the
collapse of Mrs. Eta Carruthers, the
aged mother of Haywood. Completely
broken down and suffering from ner-
vous prostration, she was taken to St.
Luke's hospital where it was said to-
night, that while her condition is not
serious, she will require attention for
some time. The strain of the long trial
told more keenly on the mother than
any of the other members of the pris-
Oner's family. She was not in the
best of health when she reached Boise
from her home in Salt Lake and for
several days past it has been noticed
that she seemed steadily to fail. To-
day, as the jury retired and her son
was led away to his cell. Mrs Car
ruthers reached her arms about his
great, broad shoulders and tenderly
kissed him. This was the only dem
onstration in the court room. which
was but half filled as Judge Wood de-
livered his charge and instructions
Mrs. Haywood, the defendants invalid
wife, has stood the heat and strain of
the trial with apparently no i'll ef-
feet upon her already delicate health.
A LONG SIEGE EXPECTED.
The judge evidently anticipated that
the jury would be long at it's task. and
suggested to the twelve men in the box
before him at the end of his charge,
that they take chair cushions with
them into the jury room. Late in the
afternoon the throng of waiting report
ers and officials were thrown into
fever Of excitement by one of the
hn11fff= hfrer f~a., ~
courtroom. There was a general rush
for position and the jury was expect
ed to report. The bailiff however.
made his way to the jury box, and
there took possession of two cushions
which had been left.
A CONTINUOUS SESSION.
The court session which began this
morning when the jury was instructed
by Judge Wood. will continue without
interruption until the jury reports a
verdict or that an agreement is i'm
possible. Judge Wood has not ventur-
ed an opinion as to how long he would
keep the jury locked up to secure a
verdict
The great trial. which began the 9th
OF May, has been most expensive, both
TO the state and to the Western Fed
GRAFTON. and both sides are anxious for
a decisive outcome
Boise continues quiet tonight as Il
has been throughout the trial. Few
persons loitered about the court house
grounds as there seemed to be a gen.
eral opinion that a verdict would not
be reached tonight. The court will be
in session all of Sunday to receive a
verdict or any other communication
from the jurors.
Haywood, who listened to the read
ing of the judges charge with the
same utter lack of any telltale ex-
preston upon his face as during the
days of the discriminating testimony
of Harry Orchard, went back to his
cell to await the jury's decision with
smile playing about his lips. During
the afternoon he sat for several hours
on the shaded court house lawn chat
ting and laughing with his wife and
daughter The news of his mothers
illness seemed to disturb him far more
than the tilt of the scales which held
his fate in balance

OUR EASTER EDITION.

The Graphic next Sunday will is- sue it's annual Easter edition. For some years the Graphic has made it's Easter edition second only in size and importance to it's regular Christ mas editions, which are easily and all ways the largest and best papers of the year The people of Pine Bluff and vicinity have come to know what to expect Whn the Graphic makes an- nouncement of an Easter or Christ mas edition, and our Easter edition of this year will be fully up to the standard For this issue we have ordered a number of large and hand some half-tone illustrations appropri- ate to the season, and also a number of special Easter features, which in addition to our regular news and oth- CT Sunday features will make next Sundays Graphic altogether a superb newspaper
 The Sunday Graphic occupies dis tinct and exclusive field in Pine Bluff Journalism. It is easily and alway 5 the best newspaper and advertising medium of the week It is issued at a time when the people have rest and have ample time for reading, reflec- tion and recreation. The Sunday Gra- phic therefore fills distinct. want, and is the most popular Pine Bluff paper of the week. It has something for everybody, and pleases all.
 For the purpose of next Sundays s issue the Graphic will combine it's regular monthly Pay Day. edition with it's annual Easter edition, and will be generally and thoroughly cir culated throughout the city. As a newspaper and advertising medium 1t will be PAR EXCELLENCE, and will stand second in size and importance only to the Graphics Christmas edi- tion of last December.

COTTON PRODUCTION.

The National Ginners' Associa tion recently issued statement of the amount of cotton ginned of the crop of 1906 up to March II. These figures show a total of 12,- ZIG, 1000 bales ginned this season. The totals gathered byJhis associa- tion are not always identical with those furnished by the census bu- reau, but it is as we'll to have more than one source of statistical infor- nation, so that in the event of any great disparity, the source of cause of it may be found.
 Assuming that these figures are approximately correct, cOmmer- cial crop of 13,00O,OOO bales is indicated and yet cotton continues to sell above 10 cents. Such a condition five years ago would have been inconceivable and yet, the mills are making money while every spindle is running day and night to fill orders
 There is only one danger that waits on this prosperous condition. The taking of so large a crop. at so good a price is likely to tempt growers to still further increase the supply until the danger point of ex- cess is reached and the bears will step in and hammer down the price far beolw whatt would be justified by the real volume of production. The thing to be guarded against is the giving of any kind of a pretext for the hammer to this contingent of the army of spectators. They will be on the alert to exaggerate any tendency towards an increase of acreage, or other sign of larger pro- duction. and from these signs in- duce depression tthat might have no warrant, whatever, in the ulti- mate crop produced.
 This is a critical period for the

Mexico City, March 17.-Vicente Se- guerra, a millionaire and amateur bull fighter, was nearly the victim of a robbery involving jewels worth $12,- 600 yesterday.
 He was taking dinner in the Cafe Colon, but he decided to leave for Puebla. He requested his secretary to proceed to the Hotel Coliseo, where he is lodging, to bring some papers. Upon entering the room the secretary encountered young man named Ricardo Duran, who, upon being
 searched, had jewels belonging to Seguera in his possession. Duran was arrested. Duran is the son of a prominet man of Pachuca, Mexico and states that he was induced to make the attempt at robbery On ac- count of the deperate state of his own affairs. The young man will be prosecuted by Seguera.

HEARST IN CONGRESS.

! i isiled his term ill congress and his
 record is complete And what rec
 ord. Perhaps no other member oI the national house Of representatives has been SO conspicuous by his ab- sence as this publisher from Ne"
 York, who lays exaggerated stress
 upon his patriotism and aspires to the
 presidential chair, but who fails al
 the first test of citizenship. One may
 scan every page of the Congressional 1 Record during his term of office with
 out discovering that Congressman
 Hearst has left single enduring i'm
 pression to show for his election His
 attendance upon the sessions of con- gress was intermittent and he shirked every duty his office imposed upon him. Not a single issue has come out of that term Not once did he distin- guish himself from the other furni- ture of the chamber by speech or committee work.
 Mr. Hearst Is man of tremendous personal ambition He controls pow erful machinery for the qualification of this ambition. He would hold ex- alted office and he apparently believes himself qualified for the presidency. But as a congressman he ranked at the bottom of the list. Even the most obscure member from the wild est and woolliest district did better than he That he not only failed to leave any impression, good or bad, as an official memento might have been accounted for by stupidity and incapacity, but he could have attend ed the sessions of congress, at least. He preferred propagating the anarch- istic heresies of his yellow journals to attempts at statesmanship. That congress was as we'll off without his attendance there is no doubt. The only deplorable thing in connection with his election to that body is that he stood in the way of some other and worthier man who might have made a sincere effort to do his duty by his people and by his country.
 AS the owner and proprietor of the Independence League, which he is ex- tending to the South, MT. Hearst is already busy with his plans for a state convention in New York, ac- cording to the Kansas City Journal. To be sure, the only officials of the state to be elected are two judges Of the court of appeals. But Hearst is trying out his machine. He wants 10 keep his organization intact for the greater struggle that will come two years from now. Having cut loose from the Democratic party, Hearst is now in a position to go it alone. In Chicago his lieutenants are busy as bees, and they are fighting the Demo- cratic candidates just as fiercely as the Republican candidates. His am bition is to pick up the remnants of the socialists, anarchists and rabid laborites to weld into new party which he hopes will some time wield enough influence to be a political trading asset In the face of such important work, what if he did neg feet his duties as a congressman?
