FEIST GUILTY OF MURDER.
Prominent Physician of Nashville
Killed Mrs. Mangrum.

Nashville. February 16.-After one
of the most stubbornly fought legal
battles, DR.. J. Herman Feist, a proml-
nent physician of this city, was today
found guilyt Of muredring Mrs. Rosa
Mangrum. The verdict carries with 1t
the death penalty. Mrs. Mangrum,
who had been under the care of DR..
Feist, disappeared on December 10,
1905, and her body was found in the
Ohio river at Cairo, ILL.,, on January
25, 1906. A few days before the dis
appearance of Mrs. Mangrum she drew
something like $1400 from local bank
and announced that she was going to
Chicago. She left her boarding house
on the night Of her disappearance for
the railway station. and that was the
last ever seen of her alive. The eYi-
dence against Dr. Feist was purely
circumstantial, the most salient fea-
ture of which was that he deposited In
local bank the sum of $500 a few
days after the disappearance OF Mrs
Mangrum.

NO OFFICIAL STEP IN REGARD TO

SCHOOL oUESTIoN-CALL AT
TENTloN TO TREATY.

Toxic, February 17.-No official step
has yet been taken regarding the So
luton of the San Francisco school
question on the basis of restricted
admission of Japanese laborers. Should
a solution of the controversy be eff
fected on that basis, it is believed
quite generally that the government
would be target for violent attacks
by the opposition.
The authorities are keenly aware of
the gravity of the situation, and are
apparently prepared to meet the sit
uation calmly and resolutely.
Judging from their attitude, a final
solution on the basis of restricted i'm
migration might not be entirely hope
less.
The Asahi this morning significant
ly calls attention to article of the
existing treaty between Japan and the
United States.

IMMIGRANT STATION

LIBERAL POLICY OF REPUBLl-

URE FOR NEW ORLEANS.

washington, February 16.-(Special)- y
Galveston, Tex, is made an immigration
station under the terms of a bill passed
by the Senate today. The favorable re-
port was made by Senator Dillingham;
and marks a liberal policy upon the part
of republican members with reference to
the diversion of immigrants to the south
ern states The report says:
"There has been in recent years an In
crease In immigrants arriving at the port
of Galveston, and owing to efforts that
are being made to induce immigrants to
come to that port it may reasonably be
expected that the number 80 coming will
be further increased in the future. The
committee recently reported and the SEN
ate passed similar bill providing for the
erection of an immigration station at the
port of New Orleans. The committee re-
CARDS the matter of q more general dis
tribution OF immigrants among the va
rious states as one of vital importance,
and favors any legitimate plan whereby
a portion Of the great number regularly
arriving at the larger cities of the Attain
tic seaboard may be diverted to other
ports.
There is need at present time for such
a building as is proposed by this bill, and
IL efforts to establish regular steamship
lines from European ports to New Or
leans are successful which the commit
tee is assured seems entirely probable.
the need will be imperative because Of
this and also because Of conviction that
every possible effort should be made to
divert immigration from the congested
districts of the east to southern Atlantic
and gulf ports. The committee is Of the
opinion that the proposed transfer OF a
site should be accepted and a suitable i'm
migrant station erected thereon. as pro-
posed by this bill" IL

BOARD OF IMMIGRATION.
Governor Carter devotes considerable
space TO this subject. After reviewing
the course of assisted immigration IN
the past he says:
.TThere is reason to believe that a
system of profit sharing or of doml-
Cling immigrant laborers will be sue
cessful in the Hawanan Islands, pro-
viding that the cooperation OF the
planting interests is obtained, for Ia
| Dor conditions are certainly more pleas
| ant than are usually found In other
countries. There is the certainty OF
regular employment, school advantages
are better and more abundant, and
the general standard of living and
civilization is higher than IN other
tropical and semitropical regions.
| . Even under the present plantation
system many plantations allow the Ia
borers the use of ravine sides and bot
tom lands and a general common tol
pasture. Planters possessing tins ad
vantage find it comparatively easy e

The Higher Obligations.

Recent events have made impers
Eve some consideration of the ethics
of giving testimony. Every one do
spises talebearer. Even the children
call such person "tattletale." and
oustifiably look down upon him. The
anformer is spy, breaker OF good
faith, violator of the sacred laws OF
hospitality. Loyalty to family and to
friends is the cement which holds So
ciety together. Trouble comes when
men act upon a mistaken view OF what
constitutes loyalty to society at large,
that society which is but an aggrega
ton of families and friends. The ex-
istence of orderly government depends
on the observance of certain laws, un'
punished disobedience to which pro
duces anarchy. When crime is commit
ted, every person with knowledge oil
at is under moral obligation, when
asked, to tell what he knows. In some
cases the obligation extends SO far as
TO require him to volunteer informa
tion against his friends. The mainte
nance of order and safe government
is of SO much greater Importance than
the protection of law-breaking friends,
that the state justly conceals the
crime or who assists the guilty to es
cape. This rule is the result of long
experience, and its justice is nowhere
disputed. Yet. in practice, 1t is diff
cult to enforce 1t, says Youths Com
panion, because of the prevalence OF
false standards growing out of abhor
renee of the informer. There is no
high school principal or college presi
dent who has not come in contact
with these false standards In his at
tempt to maintain discipline. There
1s scarcely large city in the country
in which members of the police force
have not at some time or another been
actuated by belief in the mistaken
notion. In the army and the navy a
similarly false idea OF the obligations
of company loyalty has many times
confronted the commanding officers

importance that half a dozen friends
should be saved from the consequences
of their misdeeds than that the body
OF national defenders should be pre-

CHINESE FAMINE.
One of the Worst Ever Known in That
Empire. d.

Washington-Mail reports from
American consular officers in China
which reached the State Department
to-day regarding the famine and re
sultant conditions further confirm the
stories of suffering and hardships.
Consul General Haines at Nankine
says the famine is ten times worse
than anything known in that part OF
the Empire for forty years. The Chinese
officials, he says, upon information
given him by the vicoroy, admit their
inability to cope with the situation.
The government is trying to help the
starving people to keep their cattle,
and to this end is taking their oxen
and buffaloes in pawn for taels each,
keeping them until next spring, when
it will return them.
Consul Haines declares that what
ever aid may be extended by this gov
ernment in the present crisis will GER
ta.inly do much to dispel the ill-feeling
aroused by the boycott, the exclusion
act, etc.

The Chinese have long been credited
with the invention of gunpowder, but
Prof. E. o. Won Lippmann, of Halle,
has collected evidence to indicate that
this is mistake, and that the Arabi-
ans did not, as commonly stated, in.
troduce gunpowder into Europe dur
ing the eighth and ninth centuries.
Prof. Won Lippmann believes that the
manufacture of the first gunpowder
was based upon the "Fire-book" of
Marcus Graecus, which appeared in
Constaninople about the middle of the
thirteenth century. This was the
source from which Roger Bacon, AL
bertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas
derived their knowledge of gunpowder.
The first use of gunpowder to drive
