TUESDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1908

- Richmond. Va, November Il: Judge
Pritchard today cited Archibald W.
Ray and Duncan c.. Ray, prominent at
torreys Of South Carolina, to appear
before him at Greenville to show cause
why they should not be punished for
contempt of court. The case grows out
OF the action of the commissioners in
connection with the dispensary case
Of that state. The further complica-
ton in the celebrated South Carolina
diSpensary scandal developed today at
an all-day conference with Attorneys
T. Moultrie Mordecai, of Charleston,
=. c.; Frank Carter. Of Asheville, y.
c., representing the Wilson company;
A. s. Barnard, Of Asheville, n. c.; and
G. B. Lester. of Charleston s. c., rep
resenting the Fleischmann interests,
appeared before Judge Jeter c. Pritch-
ard. of the United States circuit court.
The complainantS made motion that
the Ray brothers be ruled for contempt
i'm seeking to have Judge Pritchard's
orders in which he took charge of the
dispensary fund set aside or abrogated
10 such an extent as TO allow them to
recover the amount of the claim upon
which A. W. Ray procured a writ OF
mandamus from the supreme court or
South Carolina. Judge Pritchard's rule
is returnable December 21st at Green
Vile. S. c. The whole trouble arises
out Of the suits brought by the Fleisch-
mann company and others against the
commissioners appointed to wind up
the affairs of the old South Carolina
dispensary board of control, on claims
for whisky purchased by the board
from complainants before the institu-
tiCn was abolished. The entire amount
involved is about $S00,000.

JUST MURDER.-Will A. Percy, a
well known lawyer of Nashville, Ten
nessee, made the startling statement
Yesterday that Senator Carmack never
fired the pistol he carried on his death
walk and that young Cooper, who is
alleged to have been shct by CarmacK,
was in fact wounded by bullets from
his fathers revolver intended for Car
mack.
Percy says the son was behind Car
mack and the father in front, each
being so near the other that their VIC
tim was powder er-burned bv the father
shots. That the chambers of Car
mack's pistol had been fired means
nothing, says the lawyer 1oT tne MTa,
non was in the hands Of his enemies
for two hours before it was turned
over to the officers; and besides Car,
mack's hand still held a cigar ne hau
been smoking.
Services were held in honor OF Sen
ator Carmack SUNDAY in many church-
es throughout the state Of Tennessee.

There is no doubt, however, tina we
may come into touch more than once

Nearly $50 native bearers will carry
the presidents equipment. They will
travel for a week or 10 days, making
for some point where game may be
found. There they will halt for a week
or even a month at a time. In East
Africa they should FIND plenty of
giraffes, antelope, buffalo and lions.
I'm hunting. lions you go out OH

who has delayed too long feeding and
cannot get back to cover. When you

and shoot him. Sometimes the lion will

IN BATTLE WITH POLICE

Moscow, Dec. 29.-Baron Cote. chief
of the secret political police, was killed,
and Colonel Muraki was wounded, in a
fierce encounter today with revolution
lists eiltrenched in a suburban villa.
During the fight several policemen were
killed and others wounded. Troops We're
summoned to aid the police. A regular
battle ensued.
The artillery had finally to be brought
up to lombard the villa before the rev.
~olutionists were %subdued. The occur
renee is the most serious since the up
rising in December, 1905.
The leaders of a revolutionary organ
ization We're holding u meeting. The
police got wind of the affair and sur
rounded II villa with the purpose Of
making arrests. AS they approached
the house the revolutionists opened fire.
This resistance was unexpected, and
the police withdrew. Then the infantry
We're sent for, and with this reinforce
ment a second advance was made. The
police and soldiers had to retire a Sec
ond time, and it was in this encounter
that Cote vas killed and Muraki
wounded. When the artillery appeared
a few we'll directed shots put an end
to the trouble.
The losses sustained by the revolu-
tionists are not yet known, but they
