INDUCES IN FTSTTCUFFS.
Son Of Fighting Bob Seems to Inherit
Fighting Temperament.

Honolulu, July 24.-Lieut. Frank T
Evans, son of Rear Admiral Robley
ID. Evans, and Lieut.. Commander J
+. Carter of the battleship Georgia
engaged in a fist fight on board the
latter's vessel. Every effort was made
to keep the matter quiet, but it be-
came public and was freely discussed
among the sailors before the departure
of the fleet. Evans, who has something
of a reputation as a handy man with
his fists. appears to have had the bet
ter of the encounter. Neither Evans
nor Carter would discuss the nature
of their differences.
Tho incident will without doubt be
brought to the attention of the naval
authorities at Washington and an in
vestigation and possibly court mar
tial will be ordered. Carter was for
merly in command of the Iroquois, but
was recently appointed executive Off
Ger of the Georgia A few days ago he
attacked a newspaper man, who had
refused to retract published state
ment derogatory to Carter. Carter was
arrested, but released on $50 bail.
It was just after Carter had gone
aboard ship that the young lieutenant
approached him, and they engaged in
apparently friendly conversation.
Then their elevated voices attracted
attention. Suddenly Evans dealt the
other terrific blow in, the face Car
ter reeled and almost fell. Friends pre-
vented further hostilities. Efforts were
made ct once to suppress reports of
the encounter.
Young Evans was involved in fight
during the presence of the fleet in San
Francisco. He defended sailors from
his ship against crowd that had at
tempted to rob them in a Pacific street
resort. On that occasion he kept the
thugs at bay with a pistol while the
police restored order.

ELEPHANT NABS DROWNING MAN
Lifts Him to Her Back and Carries
Him Safely to Shore. ,.,.

Providence. July 24.-An elephant
saved Harry Tracy, 20 years old, from
drowning at Crescent Park yesterday
afternoon. The animal carried the
young man frcm deep water, in which
he sank when he was seized with
cramps. Several elephants which be-
long to Powker's Hippodrome were
taking their daily bath and a large
crowd stood on the wharf watching
them. While Tracy with several others
was bathing. Suddenly Tracy cried for
help and went down.
The keeper in charge of the ele-
plants drove Lena, oneof the larger
beasts, into the water toward the
spot where Tracy disappeared. When
the elephant was almost beyond her
depth the keeper leaped from hr back
AMI swan to where Tracy was strug-
Cling. He brought Tracy a few feet
nearer shore, and at word the elc-
plant plucked the half drowned man
from the water and swung him to her
back. She likewise took up the trainer
and carried both ashore.

Revolving Tales Of Horror
In Convict Labor Camps.
Negro Prisoners Subjected 10
Most Shocking Brutality.
Legislative Probe Reveals Almost
Unbelievable Cruelty.

| Atlanta, July 24.-Pick head shack1es
riveted on the ankles of negro convicts.
a cursing warden venting his spleen
upon negro convict in the presence
of two legislators, a negro convict In
the last stages of consumption lying
helpless and unattended upon the floor
of shed where mules were kept, an
other negro convict beaten every day
and sometimes two or three times in
one day with only one whipping set
down against his name on the whip
ping record warden's admission that
he was receiving compensation for q
lessee in addition to his pay from the
state, and another wardens tale of the
sub-leasing of convicts under his
charge at net profit of $25 per month
on each convict, were some of the de-
tails developed by the Legislatures In
vestigation of the convict lease system.
This official evidence is worse In
many respects than the stories printed
from time to time of the horrors Of
Georgias convict system which for
eight years has been denounced as
false.
At "a camp near Rome Representative
Massengale found convicts at night
chained PROSTATE to their hunks. The
convicts told him, he said, that they
We're chained down all DAY Sundays.
The convicts told him that if they came
in wet at night they We're compelled to
sleep in their wet working clothes
chained TO their hunks. Two women
convcts in last stages of CONTIGUOUS
disease were chained to hunks along
with healthy women convicts
At Lookout Mountain Coal Co.'S.
camp convict with q broken arm was
found at work. When a convict tried to
appeal to the legislators he was cursed
by the guards. These are just Il few of
the tales of barbarity told by the COM
mittee.
A. S. Cochran, a prominent contrac-
tor of Atlanta, who was once a life
convict but was pardoned. told the in
vestigating committee of a negro being
beaten to death at the state farm at
Millcdgeville for no offense except that
he was sick and could not work. At the
Chattahoochee Brick Cos. camp near
Atlanta, he said, men We're treated
with unmerciful severity, were given
tasks beyond their powers and were
whipped when they sank under the
strain.
The most horrible case of cruelty was
told by X. II. Keith, who said that a
16-year-old white boy named Winn,
who was serving time for stealing two
cases of potted ham, was beaten to
death at the Durham Cos. camp. 3D.,

All hands stopped making hay and

JAPANESE EMIGRATION.
4fffhg for III cpntroI DO Not Seem
r- EntireIy Effective.

Toxic, July 24.-Every effort Is be-
ing made by the Japanese government
to perfect the system of control OF
emigration from this country to
America. 1t was realized from the
ter the close of negotiations last jan
uary, that many difficulties must be
encountered, that certain impatience
would be shown by American officials
because of the inevitable leaking in
of Japanese who had no right to go,
and that the Japanese authorities
would be unable to carry out their
plans without bitches. Both of these
expectations have been fulfilled,
though there has been no serious COM
plant as yet from either side.
1t is nevertheless a fact that month
after month a number Of Japanese
have secured passports on false pre-
tences or under Misrepresentation and
the numbers, of outgoing Japanese
have been larger than successfully en-
forced restrictions ought to allow
and larger than either the Japanese or
American government expected.
It is also a fact that the number. of
returning Japanese has been more
than usual, counterbalancing, in fact,
those who are going to the United
States.
K. Ishii, the new vice minister of
foreign affairs and formerly the head
of the immigration bureau of the for
eiSn office. has now taken charge of
his more important duties. Speaking
on this subject to The Associated
Press, he said:
The complaint is made that Japan
csc laborers in large numbers have
managed to procure passports on
false pretences, and have thus gone to
America. There is reason to believe
that such cases have been steadily de-
creasing. hut on close investigation we
have found that there was some
ground for the complaint. The solicit
tude of the Japanese government fair
ly to administer this delicate question
of emigration is such that, notwith-
standing the large sacrifice of time
and money the foreign Office has now
decided that the nentire subject, of
passports and permits. shall be taken
into The foreign, office when passage to-
America is concerned, ].

AlRSHiP UP IN A STORM,
he Man in the Boomerang Has
Trouble There, But Lands Safely.

Hackensack, N. j., July 24.-Chares
Oliver Jones, the Hammondsport, N
y, aeronaut, had his first experience
In a violent electrical storm on the
Palisades Thursday afternoon in his
airship the Boomerang. President
Dexter of the Palisades Amusement
park begged Jones not to make the
ascension, but the aeronaut said he
needed just such an experience and
his airship shot up nearly 5000 feet.
Jones found himself lost in a cloud
He held his compass at arms length
to get his bearings, but could not see
because of the vapor, and when he
held it close to him the electricity
from his batteries attracted the point
of the compass.
When the airship was lowered it
became enveloped in driving rain
storm and the water short circuited the
machine and he could not keep the
batteries dry to maintain the sparks
Cor the gasoline.
The airship was driven before the
wind in a northwesterly direction and
sailed over the eastern edge of Hack
ensack Although he didn't know
where he was Jones concluded to land
and found likely spot near the estate
of Charles Henderson at East Hack
ensack. There was power enough in
the engines to aid in a good landing
and neither Jones nor his ship was
injured.
In pulling the airship along the
roadway a branch of tree ripped a
hole in the gas bag five feet in length
Then it was necessary to convey the
