BoNAPARTE's SURPRISE.

On June =, Mr.. Bonaparte,
head Of the Department Of Justice
under the prodding Of incisive ar
ticles in the New York World and
other newspapers that he was slow
and behind the times as trust
buster, said:
"In some cases where continu-
Gus violations of the law involve
a large number of illegal acts, each
one of them criminal, the total
fines which can be imposed have
proved a sufficient deterrent. But
in other cases it is the opinion Of
most prosecuting officers that the
law can be much more clearly and
enforced through the
imprisonment of individual de-
PENDANTS. "
That indicated that the Attorney
General intended to try his hand
at putting some of the chad"
trust and corporation magnates,
such an undesirable citi-
zen as Mr.. Hartman "behind the
bars" if he could convince a jury
he was as black as painte1 by
President Roosevelt and others.
But on June 3, President Roose-
welt, the Cabinet concurr'ng, took
the wind out Of the Attorney-Gen-
erals sails by deciding that Mr..
Hartman, although branded as a
law breaker, and a most undesir-
able citizen, could not be proceeded
against criminally. This decision
of all the principal leaders Of the
Republican party was evidently a
tub thrown to the Wall Street
whale where the stock market was
d,sorganized and needed a tonic tC
prevent disaster.
The trouble with Attorney-Gener-
al Bonaparte was-he is now unde-
ceived-that he, like others, had
taken President Roosevelt seriously
a" ready to go to extremes to
curb the trust magnates and con
troll the railroad managers. He
had evidently overlooked the fact
that President Roosevelt in his
correspondence with Mr.. Hartman,
had declared that "you and I are
practical men," while Bonaparte
evidently thought the President
was an iconoclant anu ready to
smash things right and left. Prac-
tical politicians don't work that
way, at heart they are as much
mollycoddles as the veriest molly
coddle of them all.

FLORIDA SAVES NEGRO.
Georgia Fugitive, Charged With Muir
der, and Chased by Posse, Seeks
Protection in Tallahassee.

Fearing a mob Of his own state
might lynch a Georgia fugitive. who
sought safety in the Tallahassee jail,
Governor Broward of Florida ordered
the Bloxham Rifles, local company,
to hold themselves in readiness for
orders.
Pursued by ten armed men in auto
mobiles. George Simms, a negro, ar
rived from near Thomasville, Ca, sur
rendered to the sheriff and was jailed.
He said he feared he would not be
protected if caught.
Simms, it is charged, shot Marshal
Cargell of Cairo, Ga, to death Tues
day night. The shooting occurred at
the cabin Of Simms on the Brandon
plantation, just inside the Florida
line.
At the time Of the shooting a posse
mad surrounded Simms' cabin to effect
the capture of another negro, Char
ley Williams, who sought refuge IN
the house.
It was first reported that Williams
had killed Marshall Cargell, but it was
ascertained later, according to reports,
that Simms fired the shot.
Several other negroes have been ar
rested at Thomasville for harboring
Williams, but he is still at large and
is now supposed to be hiding in Flor
ida woods.
The negro outlaw, Charley Will
liams, killed Sheriff Tyus, of Grady
county, August 10, while resisting ar
rest for contract jumping. He made
his escape and was followed by a
posse headed by Marshal Cargell OF
Cairo. The marshal WAS shot by
Simms in whose house Williams
sought to hide, and both Williams and
Simms escaped.
Marshal Cargell was the third Of
ficer shot in the discharge Of his duty,
and the second marshal of that town.
Marshal Deas of Cairo was killed by
w. A. Maxwell, a white man, then
Sheriff Tyus, now Marshal Cargell.
The governor later ordered the negro
sent to Live Oak, Fla, where he was
carried under a small military guard.
The guard was kept at the Live Oak
iail until 9 o'clock Thursday morn
ing when It was withdrawn. There
was no evidence Of violence shown TO-
ward the negro, either in Tallahassee
Or at Live Oak, and no trouble is
feared by the officers,

didate for the democratic presidential
nomination, was received in Ohio
with incredulity. Mr.. Campbell does
not sesm surprised at the reception
given the announcement, saying that
he did not believe it himself when he
first heard it, but that he learned later
that it was Intensely true" He de-
charge that the republican party had

as to veracity.
The fact that Judge Parker's famous
harge that the republican party had
raised an immense corruption fund in
New York for the support OF Rooss'
velt has been borne out, in the face
Of the extremely tart denial OF Mr..
Roosevelt, will, it is conceded, help
Mr. Parker in his candidacy. but 1t Is
not believed that he could develop SUI
ficient strength between now and the
convention to become a formidable fig'
ure Nevertheless. the statement that
he is in the race has created intense
interest among the politicians.

Eighty Workmen Go Down
By Collapse of Bridge.
DISASTER NEAR QUEBEC
Immense Structure Being Built Across
the St. Lawrence, Near Qusbee,
Crashes Down, Carrying
Death and Destruction.

A section of the new bridge across
the st. Lawrence river, five miles be-
low Quebec, collapsed late Thursday
afternoon, carrying scores of workers
and mechanics into the water. 1t is
estimated that the loss of life Is at
least sixty, and many estimates ex-
ceed that number by twenty.
The bridge was about mile and a
half in length, and half Of it, from
the south shore to midstream, crump-
led up and dropped into the river.
Ninety men were at work On this
section Of the structure, and the whis-
tie had just blown at $50 for the men
to quit work for the day when they
heard a grinding sound from the bridge
in midstream.
The men turned to see what had
happened, and an instant after the cry
went up, 'The bridge is falling" The
men made rush shoreward, but the
distance was too great for them to
escape.
The fanen section Of the bridge
dragged others after it, the swapping
girders and cables booming like the
crash OF q cannon and frightening tha
vorkmen as they sped shoreward. Only
few of them reached safety before
the last piece of iron on the south
shore was dragged Into the river.
Near the shore the wreckage Of the
bridge did. not go be.ow the surface
of the water, and eign workmen who
remained above water were rescued
and taken to the hospital at Lewis.
The steamer Glennmont had just
cleared the bridge when the first Sec
tion fell. The water thrown up by the
debris dashed clear over the bridge OF
the steamer. The captain at once low
cred boats: The small boats piled back
and forth over the sunken wrsckage
for half an hour, but there was no
sign of life. The twisted iron and
steel had its victims in terrible
death grasp. A few floating and
broken strands Of the bridge towards
the north shore were the only signs
that anything unsual had happened.
There was not ripple on the smooth
surface OF the St. Lawrence as it
swept along toward the gulf.
All the men drowned were employ
ees of the Phoenixville Bridge compa'
nv and sub-contractors of Quebec and
| Montreal.
At 10 o'clock Thursday night, six
teen bodies had been picked up, and
of the eight men in the hospital two
are not expected to I've.
The Quebec bridge was begun seven
years ago, and 1t was to be finished in
1909. Subsidies had been granted by
the federal and provincial governments
and the city of Quebec, and the esti
mated cost of the work was $4,000.
