CRIME
HEADLESS BODY OFKID-
MAPPED CHILD FOUND.
THE 8 YEAR OLD ITALIAN CHILD
WAS HELD FOR $4,000
RANSOM.

New Orleans, June 24.--Two miles
in the interior of a big swamp near
this city, the headless body of Walter
Lamana, an Italian child between Z
and years old, who was kidnapped
and held for $4,000 ransom two weeks
ago, was found by police and vigilan-
tees just before daybreak. He had
been strangled to death, according to
the confession of several Italians held
by the police.
The boys neck Is supposed to have
been broken when he was strangled
causing the head to become separated
from the body, when decomposition
set in. The head was found a short
distance from the body.
Five Italians, two of them women,
are under arrest, charged with being
accompliCes to the murder, and extra
details of police and deputies are main
tanning order in the excited Italian
quarter All day long small crowds
have been dispersed promptly by the
police, despite whose precautions a re
port has gotten out summoning a mass
meeting at Elk Place. Seventy armed
deputies have been placed on guard at
the Orleans parish prison, the strong,
est in the state, where three of the
prisoners are held, and some appre-
hension has been felt over the safety
of two other prisoners who were last
night taken to an adjoining parish.
Not since the lynchings of 16 years
ago has New Orleans been so stirred
by threats of violence as today. The
law and order element is much strong
er than it has been heretofore, larger
number of Leading citizens having
pledged themselves to prevent VIC
lence.

SMUGGLE IN JAPANESE.
Steamship Company Contracts to Do
the Trick.

That a steamship company operating
between the Hawaiian islands and the
Mexican ports and the railroads of
Mexico have entered into contract with
a Japanese syndicate to not only land
laborers in Mexico but to guarantee
entry into the United States of all
classes of Japanese was asserted re
Gently in Ell Paso, Texas, by a secret
service agent of the United States who
has just returned from a trip of in
yestigation into Mexico. He stated
that the plan was to bring the Japan
csc into Mexico in large numbers and
divide them up into groups at the diff
ferent ports along the border. This, he
says, accounts for the number of Jap
anese that have for some months been
swarming to the border ports. Many
of the Japanese now in Juarez are of
ficers in the Japanese army and they
wear medals. The Japanese are now
being brought into Mexico by the
thousands.

DEATH TO GRAIN SQUIRRELS.
Smother Them With Dynamite In the
DenS.

Cut off a small piece of explosive
from the stick, say about two or three
inches long. This piece is hastily
lighted with a match and thrown as
far down as possible into the hole,
the entrance of which is quickly filed
up If there are several holes a few
feet or yards away these are watched
closely and closed up with dirt as
soon as smoke begins coming out.
After the smoke and gas is effectually
confined to the holes no more atten-
ton is necessary.
The squirrels are asphyxiated in an
instant, so deadly is the gas; nor will
any other squirrels burrow into the
holes. In holes thus treated seven or
eight years ago none have ever been
opened by other squirrels.

against Rudolph Knabel, a Tacoma res
taranteur. Chase sued for damages
for being thrown out of a restaurant

court holds he had eaten at the restau-

OF denial of any civil rights; that he
was ousted by walters because they
believed he was annoying or insult

New Orleans, May 27.-For some lit

condition report being about the low
est on record, or, say, about rs, the
lowest having been IA in 1903, when
the crop turned out to be 10,001 900 In
this we were inclined to be conserva-
tive. but, judging from the reports
on condition of the crop received on
eminent reports were sent in. which
range from As to rs per cent of a per-
rect crop for the central and western
though the Bureau crop condition re-
port, to be published tomorrow week,
will be lower than the poorest on rec
ord; Such unsatisfactory crop re-
ports as are being received have never
been reported before at this time of
the year, and in view of the unfavor-
able crop outlook and large require
about 100000 bales. it looks as
though cotton might easily sell much
higher. Further heavy damaging rains
over Sunday, especially in Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, and
low temperatures were reported from
the northern half of the western belt
Territories, Arkansas and Tennessee,
falling below so degrees. which is un-
favorable for the late planted as well
Liverpool was under the unfavorable
influence of the weekly weather and
crop reviews of The New York ChrOn-
icle, and Mr.. Habersham Kings, which
reported some improvement during the
past week, except in a few localities,
in the Mississippi Valley. where fur
Their rains were complained of; the
most influential feature of one of the
two. reports being the concluding re-
marks claiming Texas to have the most
favorable condition observed in the
past seven years. Cotton men In
North, Central and South Texas are up
In arms against this assertion and con-
tend that the prospects for a good crop
in Texas are not at all promising The
weekly Government weather report of
tomorrow is expected favorable, the
early half of last week having been
so, but the rains and cool weather
during the last half of the week are to
be reckoned at and will probably make
the report rather bullish than other
wise. Within a day or two the first
insta1lment of series of reports by
States on condition of the crop will be
issued by The New York Journal Of
Commerce in advance of the June Gov
eminent crop report. 1t has been Gus
tomary to first dwell upon the Atlantic
States. 1t is to be presumed, there
fore, that the Carolinas and Georgia
will make favorable showing, but
the data will have become all the more
unfavorable when the more western
States are taken up. especially those of
the valley. Yours truly,
