NEW YORK. June 15.-When Patrol
man Cornelius F. O'Brien grappled big
negro who was parading in the dress of
a woman at Cortlandt street and Broad
way early today he knew he had dis
covered a mystery. but did not realize
how large a one he had on his hands. He
took his man to police headquarters, and
within two hours the prisoner had con-
fessed that for three days he had wan
dered about In a skirt and waist. with
widows weeds. because he had killed
street-car conductor late last Friday
night near Camden, N. j.
The man said he Is Walter Owens and
that he shot the conductor while he was
taking young woman home after both
had been out drinking.
Il don't recollect much about it. boss, >
he said to Inspector McCafferty L was
full of liquor. and I didn't know l shot
the man until my friends told me.
Feet Too Big for Woman.
It was about $3.50 O'Clock this morning
that O'Brien noticed what he supposed
was q very tall and well shaped negress
walking along Cortlandt street from the
New Jersey ferry. The figure wore
heavy black veil, a black shirt waist, a
black skirt and g. black velvet cape. A rat
with which the man had tried to make his
hair raise above his forehead could be
plainly seen.
OBrien was attracted by the figure. He
looked down and saw two enormous feet.
He believed that such feet were altogether
too large for any woman. So he grabbed
the man. There was a fight, but O'Brien
is a powerful policeman. and it was soon
over
Inspector McCafferty was much inter-
to police headquarters. He took a chance
that the victim had come from Philadel
phia. and he called up Capt. Gallagher.
chief of detectives there. Gallagher told
him that the man might be the one who
shot down the conductor Friday night.
and when Owens was accused he admitted
that he was the Individual wanted.

DEFENDING THE SOUTH

President Taft and Senator Elkins
of West Virginia are two notable
men who have come out in defense
of the south i'm a manner that has
been attracting more than the usual
amount Of attention. Why the south
should come in for such oaslaughts
"a Crumpacker OF Indiana promoted
for several years and lost. and as
Bennett of New York now again pro-
poses is hard to fa.hom except
through petty jealousy and little
ness. The latter two men would re.
duce the south's voice in natioral
aifairs-and opposing them are
Messr5. Taft and ElKins, together
with the best men in the ca0inet and
in beth houses of congress. The
south has not been allowed her share
of federal attention in Improvement
The claim is made tina. it is simply
because the south has been Demo
cratic. If that has been the sole
cause, then recent chief executives
have not been presidents Of the
whole United States. In some glar-
ing instances this has been shown to
such an extent as to cause alarm.
Mr.. Taft says he has taken upon
himself the responsibility of serving
az chief executive Of the who'e D 20
pie. He has shown this no. only IN
words but in acts since his admins
tration began lesJ than a month ago
That he will continue to be presi
lent CT the whole people appears Ger
tain, the snakes in he grass in col
yress and elsewhere willy-nilly. Ben
nett will get it where Crumpacker
got it-only a good deal harder. The
south is the land of promise for the
uture. Messrs. Taft and Elkins and
ythers will find themselves suppor.ei
by people that knows how to sup
1ort him.-Roanoke World.

Puerto Cortez, Spanish Honduras,
March 23, via New Orleans, March
81.-In conformity with the arrange
ment affected by LIONEL Garden
Eng .lsh minister, who has repre-
sented the foreign bondholders In
their negotiations with the Honduras
government, w. S. Valentine. lessee
of the inter-oceanic railroad Of Hon
duras, will, on April 80, surrende
the first division of the railroad md
the wharves at Puerto Cortez The
first division comprises about sixty
miles Of road.
The total amount of bonds held in
London and Paris, approximating
$40, 100000, with the accumulated
interest for about forty years, brings
the total up to about 100000 600.
According to the sett' ement Just
brought about, Honduras Is to pay
