Agricultural Exports.

The calendar year is closing with
every indication that the remarkable
volume of exports will remain at the
flood. A bulletin from the bureau of
statistics at Washington is testimony
to this effect. The bulletin deals with
the exports of domestic breadstuffs,
meat and dairy products, food animals,
cotton and mineral oils for November
and for the IL months of the present
year ended with November. The total
of these exports for November was
sos, ,S11, 900 against $99, ,S41, 900 in 1905,
and for the IL months $7SS, 1851, 900
compared with $7O3, ,56sOOO last year.
The December returns are not likely
to show any relative decrease, and the
entire year is fairly certain to show
large advance over last. Several
features of the bulletin showing COM
mand special interest. Though there
was something of a falling off in this
class of exports for the month, our
shipments abroad of meat and dairy
products and of food cattle were $685..
$500 in 1906, or more than $2O,OOO,'
i00e in excess of these of the same IL
months Of 1905. Legislation by con-
gress and the steps taken by the ad'
ministration in accordance Herewith,
aiming at safeguarding the purity OF
the output, have increased foreign con.
fidence The figures are of value as
proving that while we sell abroad less
barley, oats and corn, we are disposing
in large quantity of what may be
called the finished products from such
raw material The Americans are
feeding more Of the grain to live stock
and selling more cattle and meat to
the old world. This is really an
economic advantage, as finding mar.
lket for the higher valued product al
ways is. The bulletin accentuates the
Ipredominance of this country as
source of food supply, while the com.
Iplete returns are pretty certain to
prove that it has been big year for
exports of manufactures also.

NEGROES KILLED MAN AND Wife
AND WERE PREPARING TO KILL
A LITTLE BABE
Two Hundred CoIored Men are Guard

Is Threatened.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Jan. 1.-Two
hundred negroes left Chickasha, |. T.,
shortly after dark, bound for Womack,
II miles northeast, with the avowed
intention Of protecting a gang of ne
groes from the vengeance of mob OF
whites, and owing to the circumstan-
ces a bloody race war is expected at
any moment.
A gang of negroes entered the tent
of white man and murdered the man
and his wife. They were preparing to
kill a child when surprised by neigh

took to flight
Bands of armed white men formed
Immediately and started on the trail
of the murderers.
Population Evenly Divided.
The population of this section Of the
Indian Territory is about evenly di-
vided between the whites and the ne
groes. As soon as the negroes learn
ed that a posse of whites were trail
ing the murderers bands of negroes
formed in the surrounding country
and started for the scene of the
trouble heavily armed.
The negroes, leaving Chicgasha,
started with the avowed intention of
protecting the negroes from the ven
geance of the whites if they were cap
tured. The murderers are supposed
to have been negroes who are working
on a railroad grade a short distance
for Womack, about 35 miles southeast
of this city.
AS result of race feeling, engen.
dered by the burning Of a negro in
this section last July by a mob Of
whites, the situation is regarded az
being exceedingly critical.

CORONER'S VERDICT.
PLACES the BLAME ON EIGHT
3. & o. MEN,
AFTER STARTLING TESTIMONY.
Operator Gave Doomed Train Wrong
slOnaI-Kept Orders In His Head
Was Incompetent.

Washington, Jan. 1O-At the conclu-
sion of a mass of sensational testi-
mony in the coroner's inquest on the
Terra Gotta wreck on the B. & o. Sun
day, December 80, Coroner hewitt held
to grand jury the following named per-
sons: Harry H. Hildebrand, engineer
of dead" Train 2120; Frank F. Hoff-
mier, conductor of that train; p. F.
Dent, night train dispatcher at Balti-
more; William e. McCauley, division
operator of the Baltimore & Ohio; B.
L. Vermillion, engineer of local Train
Sc, into which 2120 crashed; George
w. Nagle, conductor of Train Sc; ]. w.
Kelly,jr., trainmaster of the B. & o.,
and William M. Dutrow, the telegraph
operator at Silver Springs. All the
men held, except Dent, McCauley and
Kelly, were in the building where the
inquest was held, and were placed
under arrest.
The testimony given was Of start
ling nature, tending to point toward
certain persons as being responsible
for the wreck, by a combination of in
competency, reckless disregard Of the
rules, inadequate rules and careless
ness of certain officials in placing in
experienced men in most responsible
positions.
The first witness at the inquest was
William L. Moore, the operator at Ken
sington. He characterized Dutrow, the
operator at Silver Springs, as 'incom-
petent, wild and reckless" His testi-
mony indicated that Dutrow, instead Of
copying train orders, tried to keep
them in his head; while Dutrow him
self testified that he believed, from
his examination for the position, that
he was not capable, but was put on
by Division Superintendent McCauley
Notwithstanding.
How did you judge Of Dutrow's
incompetency," asked the coroner.
"The manner of working is sufficient
for another operator to tell"
Moore said that he gave the engineer
clear light because the block was
clear. Coroner hewitt asked him who
gave him confirmation that the block
was clear, and Moore replied: "This
young fellow from Silver Springs"
meaning Dutrow. Mr.. Moore said he
was not positive that the block was
clear. Il told the engineer that I
could not trust that party ((referring
to Operator Dutrow). I told the en-
gineer: You go down there more care
fully"
He said he could not tell whether
the block was clear, but he had been
told since by Feeny, the extra oper-
ator, that it was not. Feeny was or
dered to the wreck, but stopped off
at Silver Springs to help Dutrow take
train orders. "Feeny told me-" said
Moore, that Dutrow was not even
copying the train orders, and he stayed
there to do that. More said he had
heard criticism of Dutrow's
work from Feeny and Steele, the man
at Kensington. He said he got his
idea of Dutrow's incapacity from his
actions generally, and that he had
heard, but indirectly, that Dutrow had
displayed a wrong signal.
Mr.. Moore was asked if he had ever
heard that Dutrow had displayed
wrong signal. The witness replied
that he had, but the information
only from indirect sources,

TRUE BILL RETURNED BY JURY.
HOLDS JOHNSON AS WRITER OF
RYAN LETTER.
ohlo's Public Printer VIII Have tS
Answer to the Charge Of Trying
to Influence Justice.


Columbus, O., Jan. 9.-State Super
visor of Public Printing John w. John
Son, of Waverly, was indicted by the
grand jury Of Franklin county on the
charge of attempting to influence an
oficer of a court of justice. He will
be arrested and aTraigned before the
common pleas court. This action
would have been taken but for the fact
sthat there was no Judge on hand to
take his recognizance.
The sum of Johnson's alleged Of.
9ense is in the writing of letter to
the judges of the circuit court Of this
district, who had then under advise
ment the suit Of former Public Printer
Mark Slater to oust the Wayerly man
from his Office on the ground that he
had not been legally appointed. The
letter was signed by supposedly nc
titious person named E. T. Ryan. 1t
was written on the stationery Of the
Great Southern hotel, of this city. In
Il Ryan, representing himself as a
loyal republican, protested against any
consideration being shown Slater, who
was exceriated as an unfaithful public
oKicaal The court was advised to dis
miss the suit in the interest of the re-
publican party.
The circuit court judges called in
Dewitt C. Jones and Emmitt Tomp-
kins, attorneys for Johnson and Slater
respectively, and laid the matter be-
fore them, requesting their assistance
in ascertaining the identity Of the
writer.
Suspected johnson.
johnson was suspected and samples
Of his handwriting we're secured by
Mr.. Tompkins and submitted to VIM
G. Pengelly, a chirographical expert,
for comparison. He pronounced them
and the letter to the judges the work
of the same hand. Upon this being
made public Mr.. Johnson declared that
he was the victim of conspiracy and
disavowed all knowledge of the letter.
The judges turned the matter over to
Prosecuting Attorney Karl Weber,
who, after an investigation, submitted
the facts ascertained to the grand jury.
In the meantime samples of the dis
puted handwriting we're submitted to
David N. Carvalho, Of New York, one
of the leading graphologists of the
country and he sustained Mr.. Pengel-
ly's verdict. Examination of the cor
files in the office of Gov
ernor Andrew L. Harris disclosed the
presence of three more letters written
by the same hand and of
the same tenor. One of them signed
e. L. Davis, was written on September
4, and was signed r. L. McGhee, who
asserted that he was formerly re-
publican journalist. The fourth letter
was signed simply "A Law Republi>
can" All of them exploited Johnson
and denounced Slater. AS it turned
out there was no necessity for the let
ter to the circuit court, for that body
by a unanimous vote dismissed the
Slater suit thuA confirming Johnson
in his seat.
The accused Official strenuously de-
nies his guilt, declaring that only
madman would resort to ouch course.
He was one of the few appointees of
the late Governor John NJ. Pattison,
who named him only a short time be-
fore his death. =.
