Governor Dineen's Denunciation of
Springfield Riots.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 17.-Referring
to Fridays race riots in this city, Gov
ernor Deneen issued the following
statement: 1T is as intolerable as it
is inexcusable. The idea of wreaking
vengeance on a race for the crimes
of one of it's members is utterly re-
pugnant to all notions of law and JUS
tice. No government can maintain its
self respect and permit. Our state
will not permit it. The entire resources
of the state will be drawn upon if
necessary to protect every citizen of
Springfield in his person and property
and those who violate the law must
suffer the consequences"

Commerce Commission.

Portland. Ore. Aug. 17.-Pending a
final decision by the United States
supreme court in the lumber rate con-
troversy the Hartman officials have
announced that the rates fixed by the

EVANS IS RETIRED
FAMOUS NAVAL FIGHTER OF
AGE LIMIT.
Has Been Spending Summer at Mo-
honk Lake, N. ", With His Family
For Fisher During Civil War-Com-
manded Greatest American Fleet.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, Aug. 1s.-On
Tuesday evening Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans, Fighting Bob will have
concluded AZ years of service in the
United States navy and. being at the
age of 81, he will go on the retired list.
The admiral, unable to use one foot
because of illness which compelled him
to leave the fleet in San Francisco
harbor-a reminder of the wound re-
ceived at Fort Fisher 43 years ago
but mentally alert and vigorous, is at
the Lake Mohonk house, where he has
his family, spending the summer.
Career of Fighting Bob"
With the retirement from active
service Tuesday of Rear Admiral Rob-
ley Evans -"Ffghting Bob"-the
United States navy loses one of the
most picturesque figures that ever trod
quarterback. Forty-five years ago,
Evans, as a young ensign, received his
baptism of fire at Fort Fisher during
the civil war.
1t has been his fortune to command
the greatest fleet of fighting ships ever
assembled under the American flag
and many of his countrymen are hope
full that congress will honor him by
creating him a vice admiral, rank
second only to that of the Manila bay
hero, Admiral Dewey.
Recalled Resignation.
Fighting Bob was born in FLOYD
county, Va, 6S years ago and came tc
, Washington at the age of IL to live
with his uncle, newspaper man, upor
the death of his father, DR.. Samue
Andrew Jackson Evans. Securing al
appointment to the naval academ,
from the territory of Utah he entered
the college. When the war broke on
between the states his mother, assum
. ing that he would take arms for hi
, state against his country, sent in hi
{ resignation to Washington and it wa
promptly accepted. Young Evans wa
+ determined, however, to stand by tn
r Union, even against his own family
= and had himself reinstated, to hi
mothers chagrin. He was graduate
in 1863 and served with honor throug
u the remainder of the contest. He be
came a lieutenant in 1866, a lieutenan
= commander two years later and a con
mander in 1878. He reached the grad
e of captain in 1898 and as such office
l. he served through the Spanish-Amer
II can war, commanding the battleshi
Iowa at the battle of Santiago. II
n was promoted to the rank of rear a,
n miral in 1901.

S. tons with Chile he earned the sobr

LEPER'S HUSBAND DIES.
General WardweI, Loyal to Afflicted
Wife, Succumbs.

Tombstone, Ariz., Aug. 1S.-General
d. K. Wardwell is dead while in quar-
antine with his leper wife. Her suffer
ings from the combined effects of lep-
rosy and the nervous strain following
the attendant notoriety of their case
have dethroned her reason, and she is
unaware that her husband is dead.
General Wardwell was a veteran of
the Mexican and civil wars. Efforts to
deport Mrs. Wardwell to the leper col
ony have brought out many complica-
tions, the federal authorities refusing
to act under the present law. 1t is
probable she will remain isolated here
and cared for until her death.
