USE FOR THE PHILIPPINEs.-In the
course of a discussion in the house
last Friday of the situation In the
Philippines, Mr.. DeArmond Of Mis-
souri,, referring as he said, to the fail
ure of the Filipinos to accomplish
ANYTHING, suggested "A useful pur-
pose to which the Philippines may be
devoted" He inquired, amid laugh
ter and applause, "Why not raise in
the Philippines, instead of importing,
the necessary quantitum OF berons,
dukes and counts and other titled BIZ
peds?" In that case, he said, there
would be a domestic industry organ
lied, against which there could be no
objection. There would be no trou-
ble," he said, "in negotiating with our
homemade dukes. We could fix our
own tariff rates and determine what
we should pay for the privilege Of ex-
porting to the Philippines such of our
daughters as we desire to part with
and to accompany with a right hand
some dot"
He asked further why contribute
all our millions to those titled gentle
men in Europe in order to dispose of
our American daughters, in order to
make them countess or some other
sort of titled lady" 1t would be cheap

from the Philippines, and in harmony
with the protective policy Of the Re-
publicanS. Nov, as 1t is at present"
he said further, there is an export
duty on these American girls sent tn
foreign parts" That, he declared, was
contrary to the provisions of the con-
stitutiOn but" he asked. what is the
constitution when it comes To getting
a title into the family for hundred
thousand dollars? Let us go into tho
industry of raising nOblemen in the
Philippines" he said amid laughter.
The climate of the islands, he thought.

WANTED FOR MURDER.


from Tennessee justice during the past
four years was arrested at the home Of
his brother, Mr. John T. Howell in the
Tirzah neighborhood last Saturday and
started back to Tennessee yesterday
The arrest was made by Constable
]. L. Sanders and Deputy Sheriff Fred
Quinn, at the instance Of G.. F. JUS
tice, an officer from Mitchell county,
n. c.. who had been on the trail Of
Howell for quite while.
After his arrival here, having al
ready located his man, officer Justice
made trade with Officers Sanders and
Quinn to perfect the arrest, agreeing
to give them for their trouble $50, half
the amount Of the reward OF 500,
which he said he was to receive for
his share in the matter
Proceeding at once to the house OF
Mr.. John r.. Howell Officers Sanders
and Quinn had no difficulty In locat-
ing their man. Mr.. Howell acknowl-
edged his identity. said that he knew
what he was wanted for and expressed
his willingness to go along peaceably,
although he intimated that there might
have been some interesting develop
ments had Justice come after him in
person.
At the Carolina and North Western
depot yesterday morning, Mr.. Howeil
told the reporter that the killing for
which he was wanted occurred at Elk
Mill, Carter county, Tennessee, on Oc-
tober 80, 1904. The victip was Mas
ton F.. Bunton, a magistrate, who was
stabbed to death in a general melee,
But they have no evidence against
me-" he said. Il go as freely and as
willingly as if going to my breakfast.
They don't know who killed him. They
have already tried three men for the
killing and the state laid down each
time, they could not prove a thing.
They do not know who did the killing
and | doubt If they will ever know"
From the story Of Officer Justice,
told to Mr. Sanders, it appeared that
the magistrate was stabbed to death
in his office. One Of HowelPs sons, or
perhaps more Of them had been con-
yicted before the magistrate for mis-
demeanOr and the whole party, father
and three sons attacked the magis-
trate. stabbing him to death. Three OF
the sons had been tried as accessories
and acquitted.
Howell is SO years Of age; but does
not look to be more than 40 or 45. He
Is a carpenter by trade, close to six
feet high, powerfully built and a fine
specimen physically. Officer Justice did
not see proper to put handcuns on
him. and although the officer is a pref
ty good physical specimen himself
people who saw them board the train
for Tennessee were quite free in the
opinion that Howell would not COM
plete the trip unless he wanted to.
Replying to questions of the report
er, Mr.. Howell said that he had been
fugitive since the killing and had
been over a considerable part OF the
country, as far away as Seattle, Wash
ington. He said that he had been at
the home Of his brother for two weeks.
AS a matter Of fact, it is very we'll
known that he has spent considera-
BILE portion of the time since the kill
ing working at his trade in York coun-
ty, and it is also fact that his final
arrest grew out Of information fur
nished from this end Of the line.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-03-24

THIS from the Charlotte Observer of
last Saturday is timely and to the
POINT:
The Southern Railway company has
withdrawn all it's funds on deposit in
Georgia banks, amounting to about
half a million dollars, and transfer
red them over night to Chattanooga.
Every depository of the Southern in
Georgia is discontinued, money being
sent daily to Chattanooga. This ac-
ton was taken not merely for the
general reason that Georgia has come
to be a wild state politically and en-
joys Swatting railroads scarcely less
than burning niggers, but for a spe-
cific reason. Some Atlanta lawyers,
fearing lest the poor old sadly maui
ed railroad should go broke, have
been tying up its funds by garnish-
ments and attachments on damage
suits; hence the prosecuted moneys
flight into Tennessee. This is an un-
pleasant incident to read about and
yet we know of nothing better calcu-
lated to bring the already fast sober
ing railroad fighters of this section
completely to their senses. The At
lanta lawyers We're doubtless unduly
alarmed but certain it is that when
ever any railroad company reaches the
point where long delayed payment
threatens damage suit judgments, then
will many of its very worst enemies
become in their hearts chief mournerS.

WHITACRE LIKELY
To Be NOMINATED
At ALLIANCE

Judging from expressions of promi-
nent Democrats about town yesterday
there is little question but that ]. j.
Whitacre will be nominated for con-
gress at the Alliance convention We'd
nesday So far as is known there is
no other candidate in the field, the
withdrawal of Mayor AL Carlile, of
Salem, leaving the field clear for the
Canton candidate. 1t is understood
that the delegates from Mahoning are
disposed to favor the candidacy Of
Mr.. Whitacre and that he will have
the warm support of many of the Co
lumbiana delegation.
The question of who will be chosen
as delegates to the Denver convention
is exciting more interest than the mat
ter of the congressional nominee for
the reason that there is likely to be
contest for that honor. 1t is said
that Stark delegates to the conven-
tion favor Atlee Pomerene of this
city and Mayor Ed Moore, of Youngs-
town, although Editor Arnold, of Lee
tonia, has many friends and may
prove factor in the race. The ques-
tion of alternates is not receiving
SO much consideration.

MASSILLON NEWS
Special to the Morning News.

Special to the Morning News.
Massillon, o., June 1.-Despondent,
II is said, because the man she loved
refused to marry her, Leona Heidy, of
Canal Dover, tried to kill herself here
this morning by throwing herself un-
der the wheels of Pennsylvania pas
senger train. The attempt at suicide
was made near the South Lincoln ave-
nue. crossing, and although the girl
was dragged for some distance under
the wheels of the locomotive, she
miraculously escaped death. How
ever she will be crippled for life from
the injuries received in her attempt
to end her existence.
Several persons saw the girl leap
from the side Of the track directly In
front of the train. The train was pull
Ing eastward after a stop at the Mas
sillon station and was moving slowly.
There seems not the shadow of a
doubt but that the girl made the leap
with suicidal intent. The train was
brought to a stop with a quick jerk
and the girl was extricated from be-
meath the wheels below the cab Of
the engine. Gordon & Hollinger's am
bulance was called and the girl was
taken to the Mt. Aairy hospital where
her wounds we're attended by DR.. N,
w. Culbertson.
At first it was believed that she
must have sustained fatal injuries but
later reports we're to the effect that
she would soon recover. A portion OF
her right foot was crushed, her thigh
was badly fractured and sfrN was cut
and bruised about the head. This af-
ternoon Drs. Culbertson and Smith
after a consultation amputated a part
Of the injured foot and they now
predict an early recovery for her.
This evening at the Mt. ,Aairy hos
pital Miss Heidy Indignantly denied
that she had tried to end her life. 1T
was all an accident" she said, "and
] am Mortified to think that people
believe that l wanted to commit sui
eide. would have no reason for do
ing such thing. This morning while
was washing clothes, Mrs. Doll, for
whom l work, scolded me severely
After while she went out to visit a
neighbor l felt badly about her
treatment of me and l put on a wrap
and started to go to the Steel plant
to see Mr.. Doll wanted to explain
to him. When l approached the
tracks l did not notice the train COM
ing until it was nearly on top of me

ber."
She went on to tell that she had
come to Massillon from New Phila7
delphia six weeks ago. She denied
also the story she had tried to kill
herself by taking carbolic acid at
that place a year ago. She found en-
ployment at the home of Allen r. Doll,
1856 East Walnut street and has lived
there since she came to this city.
The rumur that the old story of un-
requited love was responsible for her
act has its foundation among some
of her most intimate friends. Despite
her protestations that she attempted
suicide, it is generally believed thai
it was with this intent that she allow
ed the train to strike her.

SPENT. TIME PLAYING
POOL WHILE PUBLIC
AIDED HIS FAMILY

Freepo.., Feb. 12-Supervisor John
Bauscher had the pleasure of calling
down a man whom he had assisted
and whom he found spending his
money in pool room.
DO you pay for this game?" asked
the supervisor.
No" came the answer, from the
man in question. Calling the proprie-
tor, Mr.. Bauscher asked, Does this
man pay for this gamer"
Certainly"
$50 that's the kind of a fellow you
are" began the supervisor, his wrath
warming up. you came to me last
night and asked for, assistance for
your wife and seven children. And
this is the way you spend your money.
Get out of here, and don't let me ever
see you in such business again until
you can support your family
The supervisor first met the mans
appeal the night before with the usual
answer that he would have to investi-
gate the case first. Replying that
his wants were immediate, and call
ing attention to the bad storm with
out, the mans pitiful tale finally won
food and fuel for his immediate needs.
