DEATH OF NOTED INDIAN

Washington, July 1T.-Andrew John,
former president of the Seneca In
dian nation, died of cerebral hem
orrhage today at the Emergency hos
pital here, to which institution he was
removed yesterday. The twenty odd
years which the Indian chief spent
in Washington made him a familiar
character in this city. particularly at
the capitol and the interior depart
ment, where he looked after the in
terests of his tribesmen. During his
long residence here andrew John
came to know the late Senator Quay
of Pennsylvania, who claimed 70 have
a strain of Indian blood in his veins,
and this acquaintance ripened into a
warm friendship. 1t is probable that
the body will be buried in the Con-
gressional cemetery here.

Especial to The Messenger

Asheville, n. c.. July 1.-THE case
of the Southern railway and the writ
of habeas corpus, calling for the bodies
r. IT. Graham, was called before Judge
Pritchard in federal court building
this morning at 10:30 Attorney w. B.
ROdman made statement saying that
he thought there was nothing for
Judge Pritchard to pass on. He also
stated that the constitution Of the
United States was the supreme law
of the land. "Not only" he said ''is
this stated in that constitution itself,
but also it is stated in the very begin
ming of the constitution of North Car
olina'
The case in the police court was dis
missed virtually yesterday, as no one
was retained in custody in the continu-
ance of the case Chief of Police
Collins. to whom the writ Of habeas
corpus was served, answered, filing the
answer. stating the warrant before The
mayor was dismissed and defendants
were not. in fact in custody nor had
they been and consequently he was un-
able to present them to the court.
Judge Pritchard then dismissed the
case Judge Moore and w. B. Rodman
appeared for the Southern railway and
Solicitor Mark w. Brown for the state
Of North Carolina.
A telegram was received this morn
ing by Mr. Brown from Governor
Glenn. asking that the case be contin-
ued until special employed counsel of
the state OF North Carolina could be
present.
It is recognized that this is only a
warding off for the moment OF the
contest, as it is expected that other
warrants will be sworn out right away.

parliament, secured judgment for
damages of s25O.OO0 and costs against
the Harmsworth newspapers, the
London Daily Mail, and the London
Evening News, for libels published by
them following the attempt to bring
about the combination. Mr. Lever, II

WOULD BE SUICIDAL
Tariff Revision Discussed AZ
Luncheon at Oyster Bay

Oyster Bay. L. l.. July 17.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Hopkins OF
Illinois and H. E. Miles. representing
the Wisconsin tariff revision league.
discussed the subject OF tariff revision
at luncheon at Sycamore Hill today.
Senator Hopkins. on leaving Oyster
Bay said that the conclusion was
reached that no tariff revision should
be undertaken until after the next
presidential election.
1T would be suicidal To the rcpubil-
can party" The senator added, ITO
undertake a revision of the tariff dur
ing the next congress. AfteE the
presidential election l believe it will
be the duty of the republican party
Ito revise the tariff and that it will be
done"
MIR. Hopkins remarked that he be-
lieFed such an arguInent would ap-
peal to and be accepted by the repub-
lican revisionists in all parts OF the
country.
Mr.. Hopkins had a very enthusias-
tic word to say regarding the presi-
dential boom of Mr. Cannon. He
said:
"Of course If President Roosevelt
was candidate there would be not
the slightest opposition In the conven-
ton to his nomination But 1 am
thoroughly convinced that Mr. Roose-
welt will not consider the nomination,
that he is entirely sincere in declaring
himself not to be a candidate under
any circumstances.
Speaker Cannon will have the en-
tire Illinois delegation solidly behind
him and | thoroughly believe that if
nominated he would make the best
race of any man the republican party
could put forward"

PRESENT LAW DEFECTIVE.

Atlanta. Ca, July 17.-GovernOr
Hoke Smith, in a special message to
the legislature today, asks an enact
ment to fix the value Of corporate
property within the state as basis
for taxation He calls attention to the
fact that when the valuation returned
by taxpayer is not acceptable to the
comptroller, a plan of arbitration IS
provided, but the arbitrators, under
the present law, are not sworn and
have not the power to administer the
oath to witnesses.
He calls attention to the fact that
the Central of Georgia and Southern
Railway have made returns on the
valuation of their tangible property
within the state the former at less
than one half the amount which the
a judicial hearing was its value, and
the latter at one-third such amount.
He urged that the taxation should be
on such valuation as those Or other
corporations are allowed to maintain,
in court of law. The Southern Rail-
way, he declares. is resisting a valua-
ton of s26,000,000 on it's property in
Georgia, when an officer Of the road
at a recent hearing in the federal
court swore that the property is worth
not less than .s4s 150,OOO The South
ern returned the property for taxation
at s14.SS4,923 in 1907.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause OF Your Troubles
Grand Rapids Citizen Shows How to
Cure Them.

MANY people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness: when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Grand Rapids
people testify so permanent cures.
