NEGRO FIREMAN CAUSES WRECK
Freight Train Attacked at; Lithonia,
Ga, by Mob of Citizens.

Atlanta, Ga.-The first violence to
railroad property in the Georgia Rail-
road firemen's strike occurred to a
moving freight at Lithcnia, Ca, and
in consequence the race question
doomed more sharply than ever over
the situation, Notwithstanding a day
of much apparent progress toward a
settlement.
A negro fireman, who apparently
was the cause of the trouble, was
rushed to Atlanta on an engine to
save his life. The trouble started in
the throwing Of one or two stones and
the boarding OF the freight by men
who set the brakes and broke it into
three sections. The. freight train
blocked the main line and the pro-
gress of the mails. The railroad Off
GERS said that the incident was the
work Of strike sympathizers, while a
county official wired the Governors
Office that it was merely an accident.
Downing, the engineer, was Sc
riously injured at Lithonia by the
stones thrown into the cab.

Springfield, I1l.-William Lorlmer,
the Sixth District Congressman, the
blonde and bland Nemesis of Albert
J. Hopkins, is the Senator-elect
Illinois. "A non-partisan alliance, sim
liar. to that which reelected Mr..
Shurtleff as Speaker at the beginning
of the session, broke the deadlock
which has tied up the General Assem-
by since January 20, which has stitled
legislation and made Of distinguished
statesmen mere packages Of nerves:
Mr.. Lorimer, who would not start
In the race until he was sure ne
would succeed, gave the word at noon.
and at 2.35 O'Clock in the afternoon,
on the ninety-fifth ballot, he was de-
clared elected to the chair occupied

received 1O8 votes to 80, six more

Senator Hopkins, who went before
the Legislature with the Endorsement
of the primary election OF the Repub-
licans of Illinois, had kept within
from twenty to thirty votes of a ma
jority during the five months OF the
deadlock.
Mr.. Lorimer said: PERSONALLY,
all my life I have been a protectionist:
All my life I have been for what is
known as a high protective tariff,
but IN ouNlast Republican National
Convention our party, the Republ1-

not. know whether that legislation
will yield enough to conduct the at
fairs of the country, but I do know
that the party to which I belong will
keep the faith and pass a bill along
the lines passed by the House of Rep
resentatives."
Lorimer is a politician of a type
distinguished by it's supremacy in
municipal affairs. He is one Of the
kind who understands silence to per
lection. He was born in Manchester
England, but came to this country
when a boy. He got a start in Chi

from that developed into politics

4. Fl. ROGERS WILL PRoBATED.
Four Trusts Created For Benefit OF
Widow and Children.

1oO 11u
New York City.-The will of Henry
H. Rogers was filed for probate by
James M. Beck. 1t is dated May T.,
1907. It is witnessed by Cortland
Belts, George H. Church and Kathar-
inc l. Harrison. 1t is a busfness-like
document of comparative brevity.
No estimate of the value Of the es-
tate was given in the will, beyond
the customary phrase more than
$4,000 personal and more than $780,
900 real" Wall Street estimates OF
the value of the estate range from
$5O.OO0,O 900 to s10O,000,O0o.
Virtually the entire estate is left
to the four children of Mr.. Rogers.
A trust fund is left to the widow of
sufficient proportions to insure her
an annuity OF $4,000 a year.
The residuary estate is divided into
four trusts for the children. AS they
reach the age of forty they receive
half the principal, the other half to
be held in trust during their lives,
but they have the power to dispose Of
the principal of the trust by will. The
sum of 100000 is left to Fairhaven,
Mass, for school purposes.

Omaha, Neb.-Miss Nora Freeman,
a school teacher, and three small
boys in her class will be paid $4,000
by the Union Pacific Railroad for the
arrest of three men who have. been
identified as the bandits who held up
the night Chicago express on the road
in this city a week ago. The men were
arrested when they were approaching
a spot where revolvers, masks, lam
terms and other articles were buried.
The boys discovered the cache, and
Miss Freeman discovered the seven
mail pouches which had been stolen
from the train, in the attic of the
school where she teaches.
The arrests are looked upon as so
important that a message of congrat-
ulation has been received by the
Chief of Police from the Postomce
Department in Washington, D. G.
The capture of the men was owing d.
rectly to the discovery Of the cache
by the schoolboys. They were at
play during recess and ran into a gull
ly in an isolated corner of a field.
They became curious when they
found fresh earth, and turning over a
rock found the revolvers and other
articles buried to a depth OF nine
inches. There were four revolvers,
three. of them automatic, and all fully
loaded. There also was a box con-
tanning 100 cartridges. The boys
carried the revolvers to Miss Free
man, in the Brown Park school, a
quarter OF a mile distant, and two
miles from the crossing where the
train was held up. Miss Freeman
telephoned to Police Headquarters.
Miss Freeman discovered the
pouches by observing that a ladder
leading to the attic of the school had
been displaced. With the assistance
Of the pupils she moved the ladder
back in position and went up to the
attic. She found the pouches in a
heap, with mail strewn on the floor.
Again she telephoned to Police Head
quarters.
The arrests were made at 1 o'clock
in the morning. Four men ap-
preached the cache from opposite di-
rections. There were only three de-
tectives On watch, and they grappled
with three of the men and overpow-
cred them. The fourth man escaped.
The prisoners were brought to Police
Headquarters. They described tEem-
selves as D. w. Woods, of Minneapo-
lis; Fred T%orgensen, of South Dakota,
and James Gordon, Of this city Tor
gensen directed the police to a room
he has been occupying for two weeks.
A photograph was found of the three
prisoners and of another man and a
woman The photograph was taken
in Denver.

You must eat in order to live and

You must not diet, because the

But this food must be digested,

When the stomach can't do it,

judges Grant Saloon Licenses.

Denver, Col.-Ministers and laymen
should not use tobacco, but it is not
contrary to. the principles of the
church for Judges who are Presby-
terians to grant saloon licenses. This
was decided by the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church in ap-
proving the report of the Temperance
Committee after a long discussion.
The report commended President
Taft, the Kaiser and e~x-President
Eliot, of Harvard, for being teetotal-
ers, and urged the ministers of the
church to petition Congress to stop
interstate shipments of liquor, to dis
continue the issuance of internal rev.
enue receipts in prohibition territory,
and to prohibit the use of the mails
for the distribution of advertisements
of liquor.
