MRS. ANNA GOULD
AND BOMBS COUSIN
BOTH ARE REPORTED TO HAVE
SAILED TO AMERICA ON
SAME SHIP.

CHERBOURG, March 11.-Mme. An
ma Gould, accompanied b. her three
children, sailed today on the White
Star Liner Adriatic from this port for
New York. She had originally booked
passage on the North German Lloyd
steamer Kronprin William, but can
celed her engagements, expecting to
put off her departure for a few days
At the last moment the staterooms
were engaged for her on the Adriatic.
She came to Cherbourg by automo-
bile.
It is reported that Prince Helie de
sagan also sailed for the United States
today, but confirmation of this is lack
ing. It is known, however, that he
took out a passport for America last
Monday, which is not an unusual pro-
ceeding, because passport is one OF
the best evidences of identity for pur-
poses of legal documents.

PROBE BUCKET

PRESIDENT DIRECTS BUREAU OF
CORPORATION TO LOOK IN
TO STOCK TRADING.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Presl-
dent Roosevelt has directed Herbert
Krox Smith, of the Bureaus of Cor
norati0r 8. 70 investigate the methods
of stock n ding with q view to fur
nishing the basis OF possible future
legislation regulating such practice
The difficulty is recognized OF at
tempting Federal regulation of the
transfer of stocks, which will operate
to curtail gambling contracts and at
tho Same time work no hindrance to
legitimate transfers, and 1t is an
nounced to be for the purpose OF pro
ceeding on sound principles that the
investigation is being made. Presl-
dent Roosevelt has declared himself
to be decidedly in favor OF eliminating
stock gambling.
! For several months the President
has been in receipt from time to time
of communications from various inter
ested persons urging him to lend his
influence to secure the enactment OF
National Legislation prohibiting the
use of telegraph or telephone wires
and the United States mails for the
transmission of quotations on stocks
and food commodities for "bucket
shops" The President submitted
some of them to Secretary Straus, OF
the Department of Commerce and La
bor with a request that Commission
er Smith make a general inquiry into
the practicability of attempting to
have such legislation enacted the
inquiry will be confined substantially
to the feasibility of enacting such pro
posed laws to control the operations
Of bucket shops"

GIRL DIES FROM
TERRIBLE FRIGHT
PICKS UP BLACK t!AND LETT Err
AND NEVER RECEIVERS FROM
HER SCARE.

NEW YORK, March 1l.-Fright over
BLACK Hand" letter picked up at
the doorstep of her home Feb. 20 was
the direct cause of the death OF
Oracle seamGns, aged 8, daughter OF
Arthur Seemons, according to the re-
eort Of the attending physicians. The
lotter fsund by the child was adj
dressed to Earry Schuster, landlord
of the house, in which she resided
with her parents. Its weird spelling
spelled out by the girl, was enough
+. to cause the highly strung young girl
| to go into Mysteries. From that time
until she died she was in a state OF
fear and excitment that puzzled the
physicians. She refused food and
cried with terror over the evils she
believed to menace her. Her one
thought was that the BLACK Hand
was after her life. Endeavoring tt
divert her mind and surround the
child with new associations, Mr.. Sea
mans moved his family to the neigh
boring village of Sparksville. This
however, resulted in no change In ne
| condition. The father was ARRANGING
10 move to Brooklyn when the en-
came.

ALEX COLVERT
is NOT GUILTY
JURY AcoUITs ALLEGED SLAYER
or EBERT COTTON or MUIR
DER CHARGE.
VERDICT GENERALLY EXPECTED
Defendant Receives Congratulations
And Goes Forth a Free Man.
The Trial.

Not guilty was the verdict Of the
jury in the case of the State Of Ten
nessee against Alex Colvert, charged
with the murder of Ebert Cotton in
the sensational street duel at Mt.
Pleasant last October. There has
been much interest manifested in the
trial and when it was understood
Thursday that the jury had agreed
there was a large crowd on hand to
hear the verdict. No surprise was
manifested at the finding of the jury
for it was not unexpected, 1t having
been generally believed that IL there
was an agreement it would be a YER
dict Of not guilty.
Although the case has been through
long trial there is still no small
amount of mystery concerning the
origin of the tragedy that cost one
life and came near ending another.
The Jury did not agree upon a verdict
without long and earnest considera'
ton. The case went to the jury on
yesterday afternoon, and it is said
that soon thereafter ballot was taken
but the Jury could not agree. Final
" all voted for acquittal but one
and 1t is said that this member held
out until Thursday and did not n
nally agree with the other Jurors until
lust before the verdict was returned.
When the verdict was announced
and the jury discharged the defend
ant received the congratulations OF
many friends and shook hands with
his lawyers and walked forth a free
man The trial of the case had con-
sumed three days and many people
from the defendants home had been
here to hear the evidence.

PRIMARY LISTS
|CLOSE MARCH 20
IANpi0ATEs MUST MAKE DE-
posITs WITH COMMITTEE ON
NEXT FRIDAY.
REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATUTE
assessments Heretofore Stated Are
Confirmed by The Govern
ing Board.

II having been ascertained that IN
ser the primary election law of 1901
candidates must qualify with the gov
erning authority of the party fifteen
HAYS before the election, the Primary
Committee has fixed Friday, March
% as the time limit within which can
didates can qualify. This is the last
date that could be fixed as It is fifteen
DAYS before the election on April 4.
Al meeting OF the committee held to-
day It was decided that all candidates
for ofiaaS in the primary must qualify
with sir starry smiser on or before 8
O'clockI} J. m. on Friday March 20.
No Ca-nge has been made in the as
sessment and they will remain a.
heretofore published, that is candi-
dates for trustee $3.50 each; .candi-
dates for sheriff $3.50 each and can
didates for Tax Assessor SIS each.
These assessments will, it is believed,
be ample to pay all the necessary ex-
penses which are allowed under the
urinary act of 1901. The committee
is taking every precsution and making
every effort to hold the election in
strict conformity to the provisions Of
the law in order that no candidate
may have just cause to complain.
The candidates have been slow
about qualifying, not one of them
having as yet come across with the
necessary coin to Secretary Smiser
but since only about week remains
in which they can attend to this i'm
portant matter, 1t is believed tha'
there will be a rush to get to tna'
gentleman. Unless the candidates
qualify ON the date named, March 20
under the law, their names will moi
be printed on the official ballots anc
they will be denied participation II
the primary.
