NEGRO CHARGED WITH MURDER
Joe Hopkins, Meat Inspector, Accused
of Brutal killing of woman
mt Ottumwa.

OTTUMWA, Ia, Feb. S.-Joe Hopkins, a
negro who is a government meat inspector
in the plant of the Morrell Packing COM
pany, has been formally charged with the
murder of Miss Clara Rosen, the popular
young white singer who was killed last
Friday night. His preliminary hearing on
the charge of murder in the first degree
is in progress this afternoon. He will
plead not guilty and it is ex-
pected that he will be bound over to the
grand jury. AS soon as the hearing Is
ended Hopkins will be rushed out of the
city and confined in Jail in some other
place. for fear that a mob might seek him
here.
The evidence against Hopkins is purely
circumstantial He is unable to satisfac-
torily explain his whereabouts in the hours
Immediately preceding and following the
murder. He says he was at his home, but
the police say they have testimony to con-
trovert this. The heels of his shoes fits the
prints found near the scene of the crime.
A search of Hopkins house failed to add
any evidence against him. Witnesses will
say that they saw a negro answering
Hopkins description, near the place where
Miss Rosen was killed at about the hour
of the murder.
Miss Rosen was struck down with a stone
In the hands of some person at o'clock
last Friday night. Her body was dragged
into a vacant lot and left under the brush
in an excavation.

MOB TRIES TO LYNCH NEGRO
situation In Pittsburg Reaches Crisis
with Arrest of Colored Man
After Fight.

PITTSBURG, Feb. s.-Many persons gath
erred in the vicinity OF the East End police
station this morning believing that James
Dickson. negro, arrested Saturday night
for insulting a white woman and who
narrowly escaped being lynched by an in
furIated crowd, would Nbe given hearing.
Owing to the inability of the young woman
to appear against the negro until tomorrow
the case was postponed. When an attempt
was made Saturday night by a plain
clothes officer to arrest Dickson. the negro
knocked the officer down and fought des-
peratey, the pollcemans clothes being al
most torn off. The fight attracted large
crowd, which became threatening when it
was learned that Dickson mad insulted a
white woman. Throwing the negro to the
ground, the officer drew his revolver and
held the crowd Off until a squad of police
came to the reBcue.
Magistrate Brady, who has sentenced a
number of negroes to long terms In the
workhouse during the last week, today re-
ceived an anonymous letter advising him
to be more lenient in dealing with negroes
or he would meet with violence.
Notwithstanding the stringent measures
taken by the authorities. a majority of the
negro population is defiant and there is
apparently no abatement OF assaults against
white women.

PERKINS, REPLY TO PRESIDENT
California senator May Defend HIS
Course on Navy Appropria-
tions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN view Of the
attack which President Roosevelt has made
upon Senator Perkins. the senior senator
from California, for his attitude on the
Japanese agitation In his state, friends OF
the Pacific coast senator believe that he
will defend himself on the floor of the sem
ate. SO far Senator Perkins has not inti-
mated what his course will be. He con-
suited with several senators on the subject
today. 1t is urged that. while there may be
a difference of opinion between the senator
and his colleague as to the rights of
state to take certain action, regardless of
treaties entered into by the federal govern
ment, he will receive strong support on ac-
count of disapproval among the senators Of
an attack upon one OF their number by
the executive at this time.
Senator Perkins claims that the criticism
of his attitude on the naval program is
unwarranted.
"In 1885," he explained, 81 became a MEM
ber of the senate naval Affairs committee.
At that time we did not have single battle
ship in commission and very few first class
cruisers. Today we have twenty-seven bat
tleships in commission and five in course of
construction, in addition to the fleet of first
class cruisers, torpedo boats. and other
modern vessels of war.
1.-The appropriation for 1898 was only $23,
10000 for the support and building of the
navy and everything else. The naval bill
now pending In the senate carries more
than siS5,OOO.OOO.
"In 1893 we had but 5000 sailors and ma
rines. Today we have about 5000 sailors
and marines.
II have voted for every increase in the
naval appropriation that has come before
the committee with the exception of the
last proposal to build four battleships in
one year. which did not think expedient
believing II the part of wisdom and wise
business policy to profit by our own exper-
ience and the mistakes in naval construc-
tion of other countries.
"As veriflcation of what 1 say. would
refer to the Congressional Record. which
records every vote for and against any
pending measures"
