HIT WITH A BRICK.
Man Who Refused to Join Strike Is
Beaten to Death.

Chicago, April 1S.-Because. he re-
fused to go on strike Edward F. Fago,
a car cleaner. employed by the Chs
cago & Northwestern railroad, was hit
on the head with a brick last night
and then jumped on and kicked by
three men. He s.died a short time
later. sts-4s
The police arrested Paul Majka and
are searching for Henry Wotka and
Joseph Maika, who they assert aided
in the attack on Fago. The strike
which led to the murder occurred
three weeks ago. At that time the
men became dissa tisfied with the
wages paid them and quit. Fago, who
had been employed by the company
for five years, refused to join them.
Other men were hired to fill the places
made vacant by the strikers, and the
latter were refused employment.
Last night the three men, it is al
legged, tried to persuade Fago to quit
and he refused to listen to them.
Majka, it is alleged, picked up a brick
from the floor and struck Fago on the
head. The others then jumped on him
and left him unconscious on the floor.
His death occurred soon afterward.

CHARGED WITH PERJURY
New Feature in the Schneck Murder
Case That May Destroy an Alibi. -=

Lawrence. Kap.Apri1 1S.-Under
Sheriff Ray arrested Mrs. Mollie Stu
art and Jacob Winters at Ottawa on
the charge of perjury and brought
them here last night.
The woman gave bond at once, but
Winter is still in Jail They are charg-
ed with committing perjury in the
here. Frank Schneck, charged with
the same offense, will have his hearing
today.
1t is charged that when Ed Stuart
had his preliminary hearing Winters
and Mrs. Stuart swore falsely. They
were arrested at this time to insure
the prosecution that they would not
have as convenient testimony for
Schneck-
This hog stealing case and the per-
Jury charges growing out of it may
have some bearing the Schneck
murder case in Franklin county. It was
Mrs Stuart who made such a positive
alibi for Schneck and if she is con-
victed of perjury in this hog stealing
case, it may throw some light on that
tragedy.
Schneck was kept in Jail for over
month in Ottawa but no charge was
lodged against him. No evidence has
been discovered to connect him with
the murders In the meantime EG
Stuart, his partI er, was arrested for
hog stealing and finally the Ottawa
authorities turned Schneck over to the
officers here to answer the saT7e charge.
The night he Schneck family was
murdered Mrs. Stuart told in the
1t was so clear as to Srouse suspicion.
Now she is arrested for perjury and
this may shake her alibi in favor of
Schneck.

BROWNS VERY EXCLUSIVE
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN

Charleston, s. C., September 13.-The color line drawn between persons of negro descent and the white races is quite dis tlnct in all parts of the United States and in the south 1t is an unmistaka able boundary marking an impossible gulf. In Charleston there is still another color line. It divides the negroes of the city Into two classes-browns and blacks. This is not thing of yesterday, but a division that was made more than a century ago, and which cannot be plotted out
 In 1190, the second year of George Wash ington's administration, the free negroe5 Of Charleston organized a Fellowship so- eiety. No city has had so many societies as Charleston, and the negroes are al ways initiative. The members of the so- ciety were to pay regular dues toward the establishment of fund to be used for burying tine dead and pensioning the widows and orphans of members. Only free negroes were permitted to belong to the society, although 1t Is of record that the organization loaned money to one member to enable him to buy the freedom of his slave wife, After four years the society had accumulated enough money to purchase a lot to be used as a ceme- tery. No sooner had this lot been bought than dissension arose in the ranks of the society. the cleavage being marked by the color line

LICENSE ACT IS
 STILL UNCERTA AIN
Council May Decide Not to Pass It Because of Certain Objec-
 tions Raised.

There Is considerable criticism being brought to bear on the ordinance in creasing the saloon licenses In Bir- mingham which was introduced at the last called meeting, and it Is becom- ing evident that the ordinance may never pass.
 It is rumored that two or three of the aldermen who voted to refer the ordinance to the committee, do not consider themselves bound to vote to pass it, and the ordinance may really be killed in committee.
 It has never been passed, and if the kick is strenuous enough 1t may never
 These aldermen are quoted as say ing that they did not understand the purport of the ordinance at the last meeting, and they did notfunderstand that it would favor the brewery saloon
 Another argument that would add to the the cause is that the municipal code forbids any city to charge anything but a uniform license, and does not allow subdivisions as are provided In the or dinance.
 The board will hold just one more meeting on the 18th before the return of Mayor Ward on the 22.
