Eastern Shore Rioters In Norfolk
For Trial.

Norfolk, Feb. 13.-Sheriff Kellam,
of Accomac county, to-day brought
from the Hampton jail to Norfolk
the hen negroes, Uzzle and Burton, con
victed in Judge Blackstone's court in
connection with the Eastern Shore
race troubles, but who were recently
granted new trials in the Supreme
Court of Virginia and ordered to
Norfolk for trial. ,
The negro, Conquest, also convicted
with Uzzle and Burton and likewise
granted new trial to be held in this
City, could not be brought to Norfolk
to-day by reason of the fact that he is
vet in the Hampton hospital suffering
from appendicitis. -,
The trials of the three negroes Will
likely take place early in March,

SCATTERING MONEY.
Bob Evans Men Will Leave Quarter of
Million in Rio.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 15.-The events of
the official programme today OF the
entertainment of the visiting Ameri-
can officers are a breakfast at the res
idence of President Penna at Petropo-
lis at noon and in the afternoon
garden party at the American embassy
in the same suburb, Admirals Thomas,
Sperry and Emory will represent the
fleet at the presidential function. They
set out for Petropolis early this morn
ing. In addition to these officers, the
only guests Of DR.. Penna will be Am
bassador and Mrs Dudley, Minister
Aleincar. the Brazilian minister OF
marine, Marshal Hermes Fonzco, minis
ter of war, the chief Of the naval staff
and the members of the presidents
personal staff. The officers and dt-
plomats who will attend the garden
party this afternoon will leave here
later in the day.
The newspapers this morning all
commented favorab1y upon the good
behavior of the sailors who had shore
leave yesterday. The men all had
good time and perfect order was main
tained. Not less than 1000 men visited
the city during the course of the day
and evening. 1t is calculated that be-
tween the buying of supplies for the
ships and the money spent on shore
by officers and sailors not less than
quarter of a million dollars will have
been left behind in Rio by the time the
vessels sail on their way south on jan
uary q. These prospects are natural
ly very pleasing to the citizens of Rio
Janeiro
The English and American residents
have united for an entertainment and
tomorrow they will give a smoking
concert in F1uminense park in honor
of the visiting officers.
1t is rumored here this morning that
the Argentine minister of foreign af-
fairs has sent a telegram to Secretary
Root at Washington inviting a de-
tachment Of the fleet to visit Buenos
Ayres on it's way south.
Local interest in the progress of the
fleet around South America evidently is
Increasing for another report current
here today says that the new Peruvian
cruisers Aln1irante Grau and and
Bolognes will accompany the Amer1-
can fleet through the Peruvian wa
ters to San Francisco.

feeling between the two factions. The
factions are somewhat the same, the
respective leaders being Stubs on one
hand and Long on the other and the
stake that is being played for is the
United States senatorship, although the
fight is ostensibly being made over the
office Of governor.
There never was as fine an oppor-
tunity for the people to smash states
and destroy the schemes of the poll
ticians as now. The politicians of the
state are all in two crowds. The align
meut Is changed somewhat, Curtis now
flirting with the Long faction and Lee
land flirting with Stubs, but every
prominent politician will be found in
one crowd or the other, and with the
politicians lined up in these two crowds
a fine opportunity is presented for the
people to smash all states and NOM
mate Davidson for governor.
eff this is done, it will be such a re-
Duke to the political methods which are
being resorted to as will result in great
good both to the party and the state
and administer a rebuke to the poll
ticians and their methods which will
not soon be forgotten

ALDRICH AND HIS BILL.
Currency Reform Measure Offered by
Senate Finance Committee.

Washington. Jan. 15.-True to his
promise, Senator Nelson Wilmarth Aid
rich Of Rhode Island, chairman of the
senate committee on finance, has given
the upper house of congress a definite
and tangible currency plan for its con-
slderation and, as expected, financial
war is on in the senate. AS a result
Senator Aldrich becomes the leading
figure of national interest in the senate
at the present hour. His emergency
currency bill provides for the issuance
of additional bank notes in time of en-
Urgency to the limit of $3.50, O00, 900 on
other security than United States
bonds, such issuance and such security
to be under the direction supervision
and control Of the comptroller of the
currency, secretary Of the treasury and
the treasurer of the United States. The
prospective emergency currency is to
be issued through the various subtreas-
uries. Bankers shall take the initia-
tive in putting this emergency curren-
cy into circulation. When an emergen-
cy arises, such as in the Judgment of
the bankers of a certain subtreasury
district demands a greater volume of
money, the bankers are to make the
application to this board of three fed
eral officers named above and if thew
approve the issue the wheels for put
ting the emergency currency into cir
culation Will be at once set in motion
1t is probable that the bill will be made
the subject of the principal debate and
consideration in the senate for some
time to come. There will be opposition
on the Democratic side of the senate.
but it is the desire not only of Senator
Aldrich, but of the other Republican
leaders, that a mutually satisfactory
non-partisan compromise may be the
net result.
The bill has for it's sponsor and
spokesman one of the strongest men
who ever sat in the upper house of
congress. Senator Aldrich has long
been looked upon as a power behind the
senatorial throne. Particularly has he
been viewed as chief spokesman for
the moneyed interests of the land. He
is quiet, unassuming and seldom heard
| in debate or oratory. His work is the
work of the statesman who plans and
acts in lieu of oratory. Senator AL

IN NAMELESS GRAVES.
More Than Half of the Boyertown
Victims VIII Be Laid Away.

Boyertown. Pa. Jan. 15.-Of the
more than 165 persons crushed or
burned to death in Mondays theater
disaster, it is probable more than half
will be laid away in nameless graves.
So far as the physicians and under
takers could ascertain from the
charred remains and clothing, 115 of
the dead were women and girls and
43 were men and boys. So badly were
the bodies burned that the sex could
not be determined and it is probable
these will all be inferred in one place
in Union cemetery.
Up to 1 p. m, 80 bodies had been
identified. The scenes in the morgues
today were extremely sad. Fond pa
rents walked from one morgue to an
other closely inspecting the charred
remains and never f1inching in their
tasks from the horrible sight of the
mutilated bodies. In most cases the
searchers were unable to find their
own.
Two of the injured died today,
bringing the dead close to ITO.

NOT QUITE ENOUGH.

Berlin, Jan. 15.-It was announced
officially today that the subscriptions
to the Prussian loan amounted to $45,-
$50, 900. An indefinite amount was ask
ed for, but inasmuch as the Prussian
minister of finance explaining the
budget to the diet January s, said the
government expected to cover a deficit
of Sill SOC, 900 by a loan of 100000, the
remainder of the deficit to be met by
additional taxes, it is thought the ex-
pectations of the government have been
disappointing. Nevertheless the Prus-
sian State bank in making a brief an
nouncement refers to the success of
the loan.

Miami. Ok, Jan. 15.-It was learned
today that robbers had planned to

that left Kansas City last night. The
railway officials had received advance
information Of the proposed attempt
and armed men lay in wait for the
robbers, which fact 1t is believed scared
them off,. officers will guard the train
tonight against a second expected at

planned to get away with large ship

1t is apparent that there is likely
to be a good deal of wrangling about
the guaranty deposit bill. There are
a number of different kinds, and at
the same time there is a formidable
element of the senate which, is op-
posed to any kind of guaranty de-
post law.
Senator I. D. Young of Mitchell
county arrived in Topeka this morn
ing Senator Young has two good
bills to introduce pertaining to the
readjust ments necessary under the
new tax law
One of these bills limits the levies
under the new law to the same amourb
which was raised in 1908; the other is
to prevent the school fund from buy
ing bonds issued in excess of the limit
fixed under the present basis Of valua-
ton of property. Under the increased
assessment, it might be possible for a
community to vastly increase its bond
ed debt purchasable by the state
school fund. There is no doubt that
measures of this general character
ought to be enacted.
