DRUNKEN AfLJLATTO IN
LUMBER CAMP NEAR JACKSON

Daily News Special.
+ Jackson, Miss, October 14.--Jalnes
Malone, a white laborer, was shot and
instantly killed in the Goodyear Rail-
road camp near Seiger's Switch Sun
day afternoon, by a negro named
Charles Hardy. The slayer escaped
and is still at large.
Malone was new employee, hav-
ing reached the camp yesterday. The
negro was under tne influence Of
liquor or cocaine, and it seems that the
tragedy was without provocation. A
group of laborers were seated around
the camp fire, when Hardy approached
in a bad state Of intoxication. s. r..
Shea, foreman of the camp, chided
him, and Hardy went to his tent, re
turning in = few minutes later with
pistol and opened fire on the group,
declaring that It was his intention to
kill everybody present.
, The workmen scattered at the first
volley, and it was nearly half hour
before the discovery was made that
Malone had been killed. Malone fed
with the others, but had been struck
by the first bullet, which penetrated
his heart, and he was found nearly
one hundred yards from the camp. The

Municipal Troubles.

Some months ago the board and
mayor and aldermen of Prentiss sold
$4,000 worth of bonds with which
to install a system of waterworks.
They contracted for an artesian well.
and the contractor assured the town
he would have water in ten days.
That promise was made about two
months ago, and Prentiss is growing
anxious as the hole in the ground is
as yet only about $50 feet deep The
contractor says he has struck quick
sand and that his drills will not
bulge. The board now threatens to
get the supply of water from a
neighboring creek.

DAGo CONSUL ASKS AID.
rtaIy's Representative at New Orleans
Appeals to Governor Blanchard.

At New Orleans Friday touch OF
international aspect was given the Ital
ian disorder resulting from the La
mana kidnapping, when Italian Consul
soleski appealed to Governor Blanch'
ard for protection to eight Italians
against possible violence. The eight
had been arrested as suspects and con-
fined in the rickety third precinct sta.
tion house, which could not be guard
ed against mob attacks. None of the
prisoners were naturalized American
citizens.
Governor Blanchard said he could
not interfere, but city police took the
mint and transferred the Italians to a
safer jail.
The New Orleans malta troubles
and lynchings, which brought the
United States into unpleasant diplo-
matte dealings with Italy few years
ago, are recalled by the present ex'
citement in the Italian colony.

CONVICT MAYOR FIRED.
Frisco Supervisors Turn Schmitz Out
of Office ard Elect His Successor
Pending Outcome OF Case.

A San Francisco special says: May
or Schmitz was formally removed
from Office by the supervisors at their
meeting Monday afternoon. Supervisor
James Gallagher was named as acting
mayor in his place.
This is the first sep taken by the
graft prosecution in the execution OF
their plan to restore good government
in the city The ground on which May
or Schmitz was removed is that owing
20 his incarceration in the county Jail
following his conviction on a felony
charge ne is no longer able to perform
us official duties.
Gallagher will not hold the position
of acting mayor for more than a few
days. The resignation of certainS
member of the board of supervisors
will make room for the appointment
OF responsible citizen, who will take
Gallagher's place as acting mayor.
The attorneys for Mayor Schmitz,
now in Jail, awaiting sentence for ex-s
tortion of which he has been convict
ed, announce their determination to-
take his case to the United States
supreme court if Judge Dunno over
rules their motion for a new trial on
June 27, and the APPELLATE court makes
a
similar denial.
J. C. Campbell of counsel for Mayor
Schmidt said: IS
"It is hardly to be expected that
Judge Dunno will grant our molten
for a new trial, but his refusal will
not put an end to our activities. We.
will appeal, to the supreme court Of
the state, and to the highest tribunal.
at Washington if necessary"

THE AID OF UNCLE SAM
Must Eventually Be Extended to
Roads, Whose Credit Has Been In
jured, Says Magnate Hill.

That the national government will
30 forced to lend is credit to finance
the needs of the railroads of the ccun-
try was the statement made by James
J. Hill, in an interview at New York
Thursday.
The public, in it's eXasperation," "
said Mr.. Hill, will demand that the
railroads shall lay certain rails and
proviie more cars The railroads will
answer that they cannot; thai their
credit has been ruined. The govern
mcnt will be obliged to step in and
lend its credit to supply this def
cheney. The situation might lead to
government ownership Of railroads.
That would be the end Of republican
government.
The cause o. the trouble is that
the business of tie United States has
outgrown the capacity of its railroads
and the railroads are in no position
to catch up. If men cannot get their
freight moved, they must cease to
produce it, 1t does not appear any
easier for railroad to get money now
than it was few months ago. know
of instances in western cities where
short term notes Of some eastern
roads are being peddled around in
$4,000 lots on 6 1-2 to IL per cent
basis. Railroads cannot increase their
facilities under these conditions"
Concerning the general business
outlook, Mr.. Hill said:
There is a general slowing up in
business. It appeared inevitable last
fall; it came, and I believe it will
continue. I don't think it will hurt
anybody, but that it exists there is
no doubt"
