Connection with Outside Cities
Is Cut of by the
Marauders

BY Associated Press.
RUSSELvILL%. KY, Jan. S-Night
riders one hundred strong swooped down
on Russelville, Logan county, early this
morning, and after overpowering the
three policemen and providing against the
giving of an alarm dynamited and
burned the two independent tobacco
stores in the city and several other es-
adjustments and rode away out the
Hopkinsville and GAINESVILLE pike.
Three men were wounded and the tele-
phone girls and police were held prisoners
for nearly three hours.
Among the buildings destroyed were
the following:
Frank G. Work, warehouse. building
and contents; loss $4,000
American Snuff company, factory and
contents; loss $4,000.
Roberts & Brown, planning mill; loss
81. 900.
The wounded persons are;
Or. Charles M. Roberts, Evansville, Ind.
J. r. Mclean. Russelville.
J. II. Mosley, Russelville.
Chief overpowered
Capt. w. B. Bruce, the chief of police,
as soon as he heard the noises, fastened
to the fire, where he attempted TO sound
the alarm, but was overpowered by four
of the masked night riders. Two mer-
chants. ]. r. Mclean. proprietor of a
grocery store, and ]. Henry Mosley, pro-
prietor of dry goods store. did not
hurry into their homes as the night
riders desired and were shot.
The most seriously injured was DR..
Roberts, who was a guest at the Forest
house. He was wounded about the head
and face by a charge of buckshot fired
by the night riders as they were leav-
ing town He heard the confusion, and
thinking that the riders had departed
ran out to see what had happened. He
came face 20 face with a group of the
daring mob and as he started to run
was shot
It was said that tho mob came to Rus
SEVILLE from the direction of Cave
Springs, near where the members are
said to have had their rendezvous. The
mob seemed TO be well organized and
wore white caps, false boards and masks
Except for the shots at those who APP
peared on the streets there was little
shooting, the chief business of the mob
seeming to be the destruction of the two
tobacco houses.
Third Raid
This is the third raid which has been
made in western Kentucky ana was III
the face of the announcement of the
governor that disorder must cease. A
court is now In progress at Hopkins
Vile investigating a similar raid which
was made on that city several weeks ago.
Troops are now on guard at Hopkins
Vile.
The night riders are attempting 10 in
timidate certain tobacco growers into
holding their crops for higher prices.
The situation is particularly acute at this
time, as many of the growers have two
years crop on hand.
Warehouse men have been notified from
time to time to refrain from buying any
tobacco and many Of them who dehed the
notice have lost houses by fire Nearly
all the tobacco growers are members OF
the Tobacco Growers Protective associa-
ton, but this organization diseounte-
nances such acts as have been credited to
the night riders.

MEN AND WOMEN. {"


 One of the most powerful and im- dramatic climaxes imagin- able closes the third act of Men and Women" which Polls Own Stock company is presenting at the Jacques this week. It shows drawing room scene with religious picture hang ing on the wall. A guilty Wall street speculator is in his own house and sees an innocent man about to suffer for a financial deal which he himself executed. The room Is dark and the moonlight happens to fall upon the picture. It brings about the guilty mans conversion and he eonfesses his crime. The scene is well played by the stock company and Is made very realistic and effective. There is every indication that there will be a record audience on hand next Monday evening at the big ben eft performance which is to be given for the St Mary's hospital. The per formance Is under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus of the city and the Daughters of Isabella. It is for a worthy cause and much interest is being taken in the performance. The stock company will be seen in an elaborate production of the great ro- mantle drama. By Right of Sword. which tells of the adventures of a brave young American in Russia.

Senator Foelker is said to have been relieved mentally at the receipt of the news that the supporters of Governor Hughes in the latter's antirace track gambling campaign had been success ful in the election in the Forty-seveuth senatorial district.

WILL DEFEND PRESIDENT.
His Friends to Answer Rayner's Speech
 on Colonel Stewart.

 on Colonel Stewart.
 Washington, May 14.-Light on the precise attitude taken by President Roosevelt in the case of Colonel Will liam F. Stewart of the coast artillery has been given to certain of the pres idents friends in congress. and inc prediction is made that the recent speech of Senator Rayner of Maryland denouncing the presidents action may meet with vigorous replies.
 It is explained that in detailing Colo nel Stewart to Fort Grant. Ariz., with out command the president has taken the one course open to him in desira- ply avoiding any procedure which might result in the punishment or Colonel Stewart by depriving him Of his pay upon retirement. In giving effect to his determination to eliminate Colonel Stewart from commanding troops for the good of the army it Is explained that the method adopted by the president is regarded as the most direct and at the same time legally justifable.
 Should the president, as demanded by Mir. Rayner. order a board of fn- quiry the finding of such board would 20 to the president for review. He might approve or disspprove the find ing and might make any order with -.fara,,ra fharnfn xrhfeb gaafnad in his judgment to be warranted. In his present action the president has be fore him. according to information ob- tainable. reports from what he eOnsid- CTS equally as competent and reliable military sources as would result from board of inquiry. On these he has acted. and the justification for his ac- ton is declared to be for the good of the army.
 It Is also pointed ont that the presi- dent has made not the slightest dis tinciion between the subject of his ar- ton when that subject was the negro soldiers of the Twenty y-Afth infantry I involved in the Brownsville affrsy and when is was Colonel Stewart. an off cer and member of an honored Mary. land family.
 The charges against Colonel Stewar; relate to his alleged inability to agree with other ofacsrs and the ofseers and men under his command and also tS his disputes with workmen.

discussed orbs seem to contain sea green quality that increases their fascination tremendously. That the question of the color of her eyes holds great deal of interest to her admirers is proved by the many let ters received by the beautiful Rus sian woman containing queries as to whether her eyes are violet or grey green or black. One reason why 1t is difficult to tell the exact color ot Nazimova's eyes is because of the length of her lashes. These are as black as her hair and are fully three quarters of an inch long. Indeed, one of her chief charms of beauty lies in the heavy fringe of her eyelashes. which is so dense as to cause shad- ow thus enhancing very greatly the depth and brilliance of the eye.

Albany, N. r., May 14.-The gam blers' lobby and antl-Hughes senators declared that despite the election of Wallace in the Forty-sev venth district the Agnew-Hart autirace track gam bling bills are dead and will remain 90.
 They state positively that they have two or three votes in reserve and that the votes of Wallace. who is relied upon to break the 25 to 25 tie. and Foelker, who is i'll with appendicitis will not be sufficient to pass the bills.
 President Pro Tem. Raines of the senate admitted after the legislature had adjourned until Monday night that there was no possible hope of advanc- ing the Agnew-Hart measure until Foelker leaves his Poughkeepsie hos pital.
