WOUNDED.
Rufus Green Resists Arrest and Fires
on Officers with Winchester Rifle
but Is Finally Stopped by Pistol OF
Policeman Kelly.

LUMBERTON, Miss, May IA des-
perate negro with Winchester rifle
was the cause of a shooting affray at
the Gulf and Ship Island depot yester-
day afternoon, as result of which the
negro, Rufus Green, lies at the point of
death from two postol wounds in
fiicted by Policeman c. M. Kelly; G. ..
Stevens, agent of the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad company, received a
bullet in the leg, and the negro por-
ter was shot in the foot. The wounds
of Mr.. Stevens and the negro porter,
though painful, are not serious. The
trouble grew out of an attempt to ar
rest Green. City Marshal Slade and
Policeman Kelly held a warrant for the
arrest of the negro for some minor
offense They proceeded to the depot,
where the negro was preparing to
board the o'clock Gulf and Ship Is
land train. When the negro was seen
the officers commanded him to surren-
uNls ttflh vi ObNg ms hN AepAASN -
Wi. t.. c-5cr rifle, which he had con-
cealed under a coat, firing at Police
man Kelly at a range of two or three
| feet The bullet passed between the
policemans fingers and struck Mr..
Stevens. who was standing several
feet away in the leg. Before the po-
liceman could get his pistol into action
the negro had fired the second shot,
which also narrowly missed Mr.. Kelly
and struck the negro porter. By this
time Kelly had commenced shooting
and emptied his revolver at the negro
two shots taking effect, which will
doubtless prove fatal. During the shoot
ing Marshal Slade was making another
arrest and was unable to render the
policeman any assistance. Green is
said to be a desperate character, hav
ing involved in number of difficulties
before.

SENATORS ARE Fighting
HARD FOR LUMBER TARIFF

Yellow pine, he said, was found only
in Democratic states, but he wished
that fact to be no argument against
permitting it to be taxed for revenue
so that it might receive the benefit
of any incidental protection that would
come to it,
Declaring that the sharpest COM
petition exists among the dealers in
lumber, Mr. Fletcher said that free
lumber would bring ruin to many peo-
pie in the South.
"The mills" said Mr.. Fletcher, "are
in a position to force down the price
Of domestic cotton whenever they like,
and the farmer is at their mercy SO
long as they can lay in supply of for
eign cotton"

MERIDIAN GETS
The MISSISSIPPI

MERIDIAN Miss, May 1.-Tha~
Meridian is to have another railroad
is now almost certainty. Mr.. Chas
F. Scofield, secretary of the Missis-
sippi River Western Railroad COM
pany spent all day yesterday in the
city, and while here conferred with
a number of business men, but of
course did not get to see them all in
the limited time at his disposal.
In speaking of the proposed rail
road Mr.. Scofield said it's construc-
tion was no longer a matter of doubt
that it was a settled fact that the
rooad would be built and with as lit
tie delay as possible. He stated that
the permanent survey of the road had
already been practically completed
from Hazlehurst to Natchez; that the
engineers had surveyed to an old road
bed of a proposed road away back
in the forties, known as the Natchez
& Jackson, and this road bed would
be used into Natchez.
The surveying corps is now work
ing in Smith county, about sixty miles
from Meridian and is surveying In
this direction at the rate of about
three miles a day. This corps of sur
veyors will reach Meridian in about
three or four weeks.

conservative senators to his position
that to get around the supreme court
it is better to try an amendment to the
constitution, and not tie an amend
ment to the tariff bill which might de-,
feat the good intended by it. Until
last week the Republicans and Demo
Gratis of the Senate who have been adj
vocating an income tax have been
confident that they could marshal
enough votes to adopt it, and have two
or three to spare Now the Brown fol-
lowing is growing, and the Bailey con-
tingent is falling away.
Senator Aldrich is arguing with the
Republicans that this is not the time
to push it's consideration, that the
country is in a hurry to have the
new tariff law, and it would take a
long time to get through with a dis
cussion of the income tax. Let the
whole question go over until next
winter, says he, or if that does not
satisfy bend every effort toward get
ting a resolution adopted to submit a
constitutional amendment to the sew
eral states. The fight is not over,
however, and will not be until the
time to vote arrives. The Democrats
and the Republicans in the Senate who
side with Senator Cummins, author OF
the Iowa idea" about the tariff, are
hopeful. At least they say they are.

pretty sleeve buttons, but according
to the Chicago Record Herald, it's
against the law. 1t says: Whether
under the Federal law prohibiting
the mutiation of United States
coins the new Lincoln memorial
pennies may be gold plated for use
as cuff buttons or pins is question
that is being asked Captain
Thomas l.. Potter, of the United

is in the negative. The law pro-
hibits such things, said Captain

late them is serious violation of
the law. We are on the alert to
stop such violations"
