GOV. GLENN PRAISED.
Victory Of State in Railway Rate
Fight Proves Popular.

RALEIGH. N. C, July 29.-CongratuIa-
tory kilograms from all parts OF North
Carolina and from other states dre pour
ing in on Gov. Glenn on account of his
victory in the railway rate case. He said
last night:
Il think the reason why the railways
oughly satisfied after examining tie law
that federal court in an equity suit
against the corporation commission could
not erjoin a state court or its officers
from enforcing a law which went into
effect by virtue of it's own force and
which was being openly violated, and
they knew further that habeas corpus
would not lie to take a state prisoner
from state court having jurisdiction"
The governor has been invited by the
Brooklyn Democratic Club to speak in
that city August 20. He says it is his in
tentlon to accept and to give the people
and press of New York and BROOKLYN
North Cardinals version of this rate con-
met between the railways and the people.
which he declares has been pervert ed and
distorted by the railway versions of the
matter. The Brooklyn Club in It's invi-
tation assures him of an audience of at
least 10000.
No one here appears to doubt tilat the
United States Supreme Court will decide
gratulations upon the action Of the grand
jury in the superior court at Raleigh.
following the notable charge Of Judge
Long against the railways. and to that
Judge for his course in making that
charge, fining the Southern railway $50
cfaf in his own custody no court could
Law its hands on the prisoner.

PORTO RICAN COFFEE.
France Makes an Important Trade
Concession.

PARIS, July 29.--What has been charac-
terized as the obstacle In the way of the
continuation of the tariff negotiations be-
tween France and the United States has
been removed. for France has notified the
United States that she has extended from
August / to October I. 1907. the decree pro-
viding for the collection of the minimum
duty on coffee brought In from Porto Rico
France makes clear that she considers this
extension not a right which the United
States can claim, but purely an act of
courtesy and good will on her part and an
evidence Of her earnest hope that the ne
gotiations upon the propositions submitted
through M. Jusserand. the French ambaS-
sador at Washington. will result in an
agreement. The negotiations will now pro-
coed between Ambassador White and the
foreign Office. Their progress. however,
probably will be slow. as almost all the
foreign office officials are now away on
vacations. Ambassador White, who has
been waiting here to learn the result of
Frances consideration of this matter, is
about to go to Carlsbad to take the cure.

SMALL BOY A CAPTIVE.
Compelled by Burly colored Man to
Take Long Tramp.

Claiming that he was kidnapped and COM
PEELED to walk twenty miles by a powerful
colOred man who was armed with a large
club. Hugh Carter. a thirteen year-old boy
residing at Lanham, Md. was sent to his
home at that place yesterday by Capt.
Daley Of the ninth precinct According to
the statements made by the boy after he re-
turned home he was picking blaekberries
near his home Saturday morning about 10
o'clock when the eolored man approached
him from the rear and declared that il he
did not accompany him at once without an
outcry he would kill him with the heavy
club which he carried.
The boy was terrified by the threat and
did as he was hidden. The pathway. as d.
rected by the colored man, 1t is stated. led
through the thickest part of the woodland
leading from the vicinity Of Lanham to
Marlboro. Arriving within a short dis
tance of the town. the boy claims, his cap
tor ordered him to sit down in the center
of dark portion of woodland and not to
stir until his return. The captor then went
in the direction OF Marlboro, but not until
he had told the boy that If he dared to
leave the woodland he would kill him with
blow over the head with club
About ten minutes after the cOlored man
left the vicinity the boy ran to the track
of the Chesapeake 3 -ach railway. and see
ing several men near the station at Mari-
boro he proceeded in their direction. Ar
irving at the station he found one of the
men to be Mr.. Stevens, who resides Oh 10th
street northeast. Mr.. Stevens took him
aboard the next train to this city, and later
turned him over to Capt Daley of the ninth
precinct station. who. stated had the
boy sent to his home in Lanham.
In speaking of the affair at noon today
Mr.. N. X. Tabler. who resides at Lanham.
said large number of searchers turned
out Saturday afternoon and secured the
woods for the boy without finding any trace
of him. Today. he stated. a colored man
employed in the erection Of building at
Lanham corroborated part of the story
of young Carter when he told the father of
the boy and others who had engaged in the
search Saturday afternoon that about noon
he saw a small boya followed by large
colored man. pass near the building where
he was employed.
Both carried small tin pals according to
the colored man. and he said he supposed
they were picking blackberries in the neigh
bOrhood and never gave the paSsersby a
second thought. Later when he heard of the
alleged kidnapping he informed the parents
and other friends of the boy that in case
the colored man who accompanied the boy
was captured he will be able to identify
him.
The authorities at Lanham are hunting
for the abductor Of the boy. The police of
this city. 1t is stated. are also on the look
out for the suspect.
