KIDNAPPED FROM A CAB.
Thrilling Theory Of Romance Formed
by Philadelphia Police.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-The police are
working a cab mystery in which styl-
ishly dressed young woman and her escort
vanished after being attacked, according to
one theory, by three men who had driven
after them in another carriage.
The driver of the first cab is in the Hah-
nemann Hospital, with two broken ribs and
a cut head
The interior Of the carriage seems to
show that terrific struggle took place as
pieces of torn dress were found on the
floor, while a broken champagne bottle,
which may have been used as a weapon,
was also found.
The discovery of the partly wrecked cab,
with the driver lying alongside as though
dead, was made about o'clock yesterday
morning by Policeman Bertzell. AS Bertzell
was walking along Spring Garden street
between Darien and Percy he almost STUN
bed over the form of the cabman, who was
lying on the pavement near the gutter. The
horse lay on the street, with the broken
shafts of the carriage, while the door of the
latter was open and showed the Innings on
the inside torn. while the cushion was some
feet away in the street.
On the floor was an immense bunch Of
roses, trampled and broken in the struggle.
Beside it was a piece of expensive lace.
The smell Of champagne was pronounced,
and the floor of the cab was soaked with
the wine. The broken bottle was found in
At the hospital the driver was recognized
as James j. McGough, fifty-six years old.
He regained consciousness yesterday morn
ing, but could give no details of what had
happened the night before beyond the fact
that he was thrown from his cab.
The horse which was first thought to be
dead, was unframed.
Bertzell, with Special Policemen Irwin and
Kearse. began a tour Of the neighborhood
in an attempt to probe the affair. Several
persons We're found living on Spring Gar
den street who had been awakened by the
galloping of the horse and the noise of the
pursuing team. When the latter caught up
three men in evening dress, according to
the stories told the police, sprang to the
street and jumped into the first cab which
was occupied by a young man and pretty
young woman.
There was a fight, In which the woman
screamed for help. but the battle ended
shortly and, the witnesses allege, the two
victims were carried by their assailants into
the other carriage and were driven away.
The officers are working on another the
ory while at the same time they are trying
to run down the alleged kidnapers. They
say that the horse may have run away and
thrown the driver to the street. A man
and woman were the passengers and prob
ably the woman could not afford to have 1t
known that she was out at such hour
with a companion in a carriage. Probably
thinking the driver dead and knowing they
would figure prominently in the investiga-
ton of his death, according to this theory,
thew fled.

VANDERBILT sLooP RUN DOWN.
Accident in Newport Harbor Blamed
nUnited States launch

NEWPORT, June Mrs. Alfred g.
Vanderbilt, while sailing her thirty-footer
Caprice in the outer harbor yesterday
was run into by a government launch be-
longing to the naval training station. The
launch crashed into the Caprice, cutting
cash amidships about two feet long. 1t
was just above the water line, and as she
was sailing on an even keel before the
wind. the boat made but little water.
Enough, however, came in to make the
cockpit very uncomfortable. The Caprice
was able to make the inner harbor in the
light wind without shipping a dangerous
amount.
Mrs. Vanderbilt says that the fault lies
entirely with the steersman and crew Of
the launch and that the United States gov
eminent must pay for the damages to her
boat The officers and sailors in the cut
ter would not discuss the collision except
to say that the accident will be thorough
ly Investigated.

bama railroad, in which a negro secret
society hall was blown to atoms by a
charge of dynamite, several weeks ago,
state that the outrages are being re-
peated, two halls in the country near
Kestler having been dynamited Friday
night. They were completely demol-
ished.
One of the buildings was the Odd Fell
lows Hall at Corea, four miles south
of Kestler, and the other the Supreme
Circles meeting place at Salem Church.
There appears to be a systematic cam
paign of destruction waged against the
negro secret societies, whose halls to the
number of at least five have been COM
pletely demolished within the last
month.
As the result of the dynamiting of
so many lodge rooms there is a reign OF
terror among the negroes in the vicin-
ity of Kestler. They believe that whites
are dynamiting their halls on account
of the difficulty in securing labor, the
labor troubles being blamed OH the secret

Delegates to Washington instructed
Against Tariff and Shipping Laws.
Ask Free Entry to U. s. for
Tobacco and Sugar.

Manila, Dec. 20.-The first bill
passed the Philippine assembly today
The bill appropriates 100000 for
the construction Of schools throughout
the provinces. The bill was passed
unanimously. Issauro Gabaldon, a ma
tional member, who was the author OF
the first law, proposed at the same
time that he introduced the bill into
the assembly several other measures,
including bills to construct a capital
building and to cancel the indebted
ness of provinces and municipalities
to the insular government, but when
the school bill was introduced 1t was
unanimously decided to inaugurase
legislation with it.
The assembly has without a dissent
ing speech or vote instructed those
who are about to proceed to Washing
ton.
The instructions are practically all
directed against the tariff laws and
the coastwise shipping laws. They
ask for the repeal of the shipping laws
on the ground that they destroy the
chances for increased transportation,
even If tariff reforms is adopted. 1t
is also asked that there be given free
entry to the states 400, 900 tons of
sugar, 100000 pounds of wrapper to-
bacco and 800, 900 pounds of filler, an
unlimited amount of manufactured to-
bacco, Philippine hats, woven goods
and manufactured hemp. In return
for this privilege the Philippines will
admit free of duty agricultural ma
chinery and maintain other tariffs of
the existing law.
The power to conclude commercial
treaties is dependent on the repeal of

THE MINE OWNERS APPEAL
1T Is STATED THAT NEW EVIL
DENCE WILL REACH THE
PRESIDENT.
Mine Operators Would Restrain Mem
bers of Local Miners Union from
interfering in Any Way with
Operation of Mines.

; G%oldfeld, New, Dec. 24.-Despite
the positive statement which came
from Washington Monday to the effect
that the federal troops will be removed
from Goldfeld on Dec. 80, mine own
ers have not given up and will appeal
again to the president. They will pre-
sent, they say, some matters which
have not yet been laid before him,
one of these being what they regard
as positive evidence that at least one
deportation was attempted by the
Western Federation of Miners, in
which attempt four rifles were used.
While the mine owners were Mon
day preparing to send further evidence
to the president, Sheriff ingalls, and
Captain Cox. the personal representa-
tive of Gov. Sparks in Goldfeld, were
comforting on plans for the preserya-
ton of law and order after the troops
depart. Sheriff ingalls, said that he is
seeking at least fifty new men to con
stitute a force of deputies, who will
patrol the camp night and day, armed
with guns.
Rumors of Organizing Rangers.
The rumor has been current here
that a company of rangers is contem-
plated, and as this could not be done
without action by the legislature, the
statement of Capt. Cox is taken to
mean that if such a plan is decided
upon, the legislature will be convened.
A suit against the Western Fedora
ton of Miners is to be brought by the
Goldfeld Mine Operators Association
in the federal court. An injunction
will be asked for, restraining the
members Of the local miners union,
which is affiliated with the Western
Federation, from interfering in any
way with the operation of the mines
in Goldfield. This suit will be filed
Dec. 26.
1t has been definitely decided that
on Dec. 80 each individual mine own
er or each company operating a lease
or a mine shall take care of his own
property, independent of the associa-
ton. This will necessitate the putting
on of many more guards.
