evidence in the House today. A reso-.

MONDAY EVENING. APR. q, 1908

RICH FOOD for thought has been furn-
ished by Nj. Thomas Fortune Ryan,
the many-milliOned captain of industry,
during the week past. All because the
special grand jury at New York, which
had Investigated the charges of minority
stockholders against the management of
tbs Metropolitan Street Railway, made
public the text of the testimony sworn
TO by Mr. Ryan, the reputed ruler OF
the city's entire traction system land
various other systems). That Mr.. Ryan
was not indicted for his partiu the man.
ipuIation and lOoting Of "MeP' was
blamed by the jury upon the prevailing
laws. and the severest censure was ex.
pressed in the presentment. The evil
dence of Messrs. Ryan, Vreeland and
others placed most of the responsibility
for the diversion of funds to political
purposes and to |plscOte officials upon
the name of a once noted leader of the
democracy, now dead, William @. Whit
ney. The testimony WAS so voluminous
that il could not all be handled by the
press in one day, and so for several days
the public has been RECALLED with sue
cts,ive chapters, each more astounding
than the previous ones. 1t was shown
how large sums of money had been
handed out to the managers of both
parties, and was made plain that at
least a part of the $500, 900 proceeds Of
the purchase Of the franchise of a paper
railway was used to prevent the nomi-
nation of Bryan at Kansas City. In de-
tending the fnanciering of the company
Mr., Ryan said that "95 per cent. OF the
stock of American railroads is water, q"
whereas the Metropolitan had over SO
per cent. of its stock paid 10. 1t also
turns out that Mr.. Ryan admitted to
having acquired half of the Ferries road
franchise, owned by Brady. This would
indicate that Mr.. Ryan profted not only
by the sale of the road to the Metropoii-
tan. of which he was an officer, but that
he sold to it his share of the fiction, thus
probing from two sources. Ali of the
charges made by the stockholders are
dismissed upon legal techuicalities. The
grand jury, however, declares that the
disbursements shown to have been made
were observing of severe cOndem-
nation"

MYSTERIOUS Death,

working hard today to clear up the mys-
terry surrounding The death of Miss An
ME Duffy, 35, who WAS found uncon-
scious in Stockton street yesterday and
died at Williamsburg Hospital last night.
heart disease WAS at first thought TO
have caused death, but the discovery Of
numerous bruises on the body later
caused the police 10 adopt a murder
theory. Mrs. Annie Scotland has re-
lated to the police that she was awakened
by screams coming from Miss Dufy's
room early Sunday morning and had
seen a man and woman carry Miss Dui-
fy into the street. When Bernard
Duff and Mrs. Margaret Anderson, the

Ralsull Assasslnated.

Paris, April 27.-Rsisuli, the motor
ious Moroccan bandit, has been asssss-
mated, according to dispatch from Tan
gier today. RumOrs of the killing were
at FIRST doubted, but the latest message
confirms them absolutely aud leaves
little doubt that the outlaw has been
slain. Ii is reported he fell a victim to
hostile tribesmen who had awaited for
some time an opportunity to end his
life.
Rlisuli has been for several years one
Of most conspicuous figures in Morocco.
He was once petty chieftaiu unknown
except by his own few followers, but he
won fame throughout all Morocco while
still comparatively young By his plucky
resistance of the oppression of the gov
ernOr appointed by the Sultan over The
district 10 which he lived. The COVER
nor sent strong force of troops against
him and, after considerable skirmishiDg,
Ra'snli was captured, loaded with chainS
and thrown into prison to die. Under
the discipline to which he was subjected
he would undoubtedly have succGmed
soon. Escaping, however, with the aid
rf few of his foil DIVERS and taking to the
desert, he began guerrilla warfare against
the sultan. At one time be captured a
rich American named Perdicsris and his
rich son-in-lsw. He fed with them to
his businesses in the bills aud sent de-
msnd to Tsngier for a heavy ransom,
threatening to kill his prisoners if it
were not paid. The United States
government forced the sultan to meet his
demands and from that time forth the
bandit became character ofinternation-
al reputation.

DEATHS RY STORMS.

The totals of death, misery aud ruin
caused in four southern States by Fri
days tOrnadoes have come to hand.
Briefly stated they are: Killed, about
$50; injured, painfully or seriously,
| 200; homeless, several thousand.
Towns reporting serious wrecksge,
46. Habitslions aud business houses
practically complete ruina iu these towns,
about 2, 500. -.-
The above figures do not include the
wreckage on plantations and farms,
scores OF which were struck and dam
aged. The number of dead will never
be known accurately, for the reason that
about 300 of them we're negroes and they
were buried in communities without
careful records being made of their num-
bers.
While some Of the 6Ts! reports giving
apparently reliable death lists have
since proved unreliable, nevertheless, re-
mote places which we're late in report
ing their dead have served to hold the
total death list uniformly AROUND $50.

TWO MEN SHOT.

Walter Bell, 25 years old, a timer,
employed In the Norfolk and Western
shops at Roanoke, was shot to death and
his companion, Hunt Lester, aged 90,
WAS probably fatally wounded Saturday
night in the southwest section of the
city, when they were fred upon in the
dark. Nora Sinclair, young white
woman, who WAS with the man who did
the shooting, was arrested yesterday and
is in jsil. She declares she doesn't
know the mans name. 1t is alleged
that Bell and Lester addressed remarks
to the Sinclair woman as she passed
them in company with a man. The
man resented the words said to have
been spoken by Bell and Lester and,
drawing his revolver, shot Bell through
the stomach and LISTER in the breast.
Bell and Lester grsppled with their as
ssilant and wrenched his pistol from
him. Bell then fell dead and Lester
collapsed. Bell aud Lester were men,
bers of well-to-do families. John Ham
lett Phillips, aged 20 years, carpenter,
WAS arrested last uight charged with the
shooting. Phillips mSdea full confession
to the detectives, saying he was forced
to shoot Bell and Lester in self-defense.

THE tide of negro leaders, 1t is said,
has set again toward the White House.
Such visits ceased altogether after the
Brownsville affair, and 1t looked IS
though Secretary Taft would have % get
along without large part of the negro
vote. Then, it is believed at the presi-
deuPs investigation, Booker Washing
ton. w. T. Vernon, register of the treas
ury: Charles Anderson, negro collector
of internal tevenue in the city of New
York; Bishop Derrick, Of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, New York
all these and others went to work
among their people. Vernon did such
effective work III his State, Kansas, that
ne WAS elected delegste-St-large. An
derson reports Taft sentiment growing
in the north. Bishop Derrick says that
the NEGROES will be for the republican
nominee. no matter whom. These and
other leaders have been bringing dele.
cations of negroes to the White House
from all over the country. The presi-
dent is now satisfied that the negro vote
will be as solid for Taft as it always has
been for the republican nominee. Elk.
Governor Pinchbsck, Of Louisiana, a
negro, several months ago j1ined with
ex-senator Chandler, of New Hsmp-
shire, in appealing to the negroes Of the
South to rise and smile Taft and any
body else smiled upon by the president.
Now he has joined the Taft forces and
will be put TO work aiding Vernon ard
Washington. The president is a smooth
politician and knows the negroes well,
aud knows that if let alone, like little

home to the republican party waggiug

Buried bv Sliding Mountain.

Buckingham, Ont, April 27.-Res-
cuers are today digging away tons Of
earth and rock in an eudesvor to save
those who may have escaped death when
R sliding mountain wiped out half the
little French hamlet of NOire Dame de
Salette on The Lievre river. The total
dead number about thirty and in several
instances families, whose houses were
in the path of the sliding mass of earth,
we're uipedOut. Many are known to be
buri' d 10 their house, under tons of de-
bris, and it in the hope of rescuing those
who may have survived that the rescuers
are working with grim determination.
The slide came without warning. Rains
have been melting the snow and ice and
this caused the earth to loosen, causing
The mountain to slide. Before the in
hsbitants could escape twenty houses
we're buried. OF the killed those who
were not victims of the slide we're
drowned in the SWOLLEN streams.

AN INTERESTING prospect of lively
scrGpping between the rival candidates
for TIE republican presidential nOmina-
zion has been opened up by the charge
nov made by spokesmen Of the "allies"
that Secretary Taft is the Wall street
candidate and is being actively backed
by the great interests to which Roose-
Welt and the Roosevelt policies we're
supposed to be so obnoxious. 1t is
charged that the delegates so fsr secured
for Taft in the middle west and west
were procured ny the false pretenses that
the war secretary stood with Roosevelt
in stern hostility to Wall street and
all that Wall street represented, where
as the fact was that TAFT has all along
been secretly favored by those interests,
which have now thrown of the mask
and come out openly for him.
