President of Brazil Dead.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 14.-Dr. Alfonso
Moreira Penna, President of Brazil.
died in the palace to-day, he was
stricken with influenza on June 2, and
although seriously i'll for a time i'm
provement was noted on June 6, which
continued until Saturday. The Presi-
dent then suffered relapse. Yester-
day the physicians saw that the case
was hopeless and notified the Vice
President of the republic, Milo PEN
chanha, and various other government
officials.
The physicians succeeded in prolong-
ing life for some hours, but the Presi-
dent passed away.
The Vice President assumed the ex-
ecutive powers this evening.
DR.. Penna was elected to office by
universal suffrage in the federated
States in 1906 and assumed office Nov.
Is of that year. His term would have
expired in 1910. He was native of
the State of Minas Geraes, and his
success was the outcome of coalition
of the principal States against Sac
Paulo which has supplied all past
presidents. DIR. Penna was one of
Dom Pedro's ministers who accepted
and supported the republic after it's
proclamation. He had been President
of his State and governor of the bank
of the republic. He was Vice Presi-
dent of the republic and President of
the Senate at the time of his election
to the chief magistracy.
The Vice President of the republic
to-day is Milo Penchanha.
Among the important acts of DR..
Penna's administration was the au-
thorization of $50, 900, 900 naval loan,
the reduction of the duty upon Amerl-
can products, the raising of the duty
on sugar, and the signing of an arbi-
tration treaty with Argentina
DR.. Penna received the officers of
the American battleship fleet on its
cruise around the world in January of
1908.
On June 10 it was announced in Rio
Janeiro that Marshal Hermes Fonseca
was a cadidate for the presiden cy in
to DR.. Penna.

Capt. McMtchaeis Murdered


Pittsburg, Pa, June 49, The entire
police and detective department of
Pittsburg, as well as the Allegheny
County Detective Bureau, was placed
at work here this morning trying to
run down the perpetrators of most
fearful murder last night. Two hours
after he stepped out of his home at
Port Perry last evening, when he
cheerfully told his son he would be
back from little walk in half an
hour, Captain Alexander McMichaelis,
70 years old, one of the best-known
river men of the country, was found
dead in Turtle Creek, the victim of
robbery and murder.
Mr.. McMichaels was famous Mis-
sissippi River captain, having for years
run in and out of New Orleans. Port
Perry is about twelve miles from
Pittsburg, in the mill district, and
Captain McMichaels, who was, per-
haps, the most famous of river men
on inland waters of the United
States, was known to everyone in the
Monongahela River Valley. AS a re-
suit, there were thousands who to-
day Joined in the hunt for the MUIR
derers, who are thought to have been
mill men, who followed Captain Nc
Miehaels when he went out for a walk.
Captain McMichaels is known to
have had about $400 when he set out
for his walk, but when his body was
found two hours later, he had but 10
cents, and most of his pockets were
turned wrong side out.
Mr.. McMichaels, who was quite
wealthy, was seen about $50 on a
bridge spanning Turtle Creek. Here
roughly dressed man was seen to
approach him and strike up conver-
satlon. The two were seen to move
away together by those who from
distance had witnessed the meeting,
and this was the last seen of the
famous old river captain alive.
When found the old river mans
head was crushed in, evidently
through blow delivered from behind.

shooting from a vacant lot near the
Butler building and was wounded as
he stood firing.
1t is not known where L. r. Prich-
ard and Eugene Newman were while
the shooting was going on.
Over a hundred shots in all were
fired, and it is believed that more per-
sons than those named participated.
There was a hasty scramble for points
of safety by those not identified with
either faction, and thus some details
have not been learned yet.

Poisonous Egg on BIackber-
ries Results in Death OF
TWO PiCkRrS

Amite City, La, June 13. "A singu-
lar death from pisoning occurred here
yesterday. Charlotte Mccoy, me-
gress, left her home IN perfect health
and went into blackberry patch to
pick berries. While engaged in pick
ing the fruit she ate a number of the
ripe berries. When she reached home
she was seized with violent convul-
sions, and died before medical aid
could reach her. A similar death,
which was traced to eating blackber-
ries, occurred two days ago several
miles from town. There is said to be
a poisonous egg on some of the berries,
which is deadly to those who are SO
unfortunate as te eat them.

Southern Commercial
Convention

The Convention of the Southern
Commercial Secretaries Association
which is called to meet in Atlanta
July Z and 8, gives promise of proving
to be one of the most important in.
dustrial conventions held in the South
IN some years. It's personnel is made
up of those men who are professional
ly engaged in promoting and exploit
ing the South and it's component
States, whose work has attained &
digtity and Importance recognized by
every community, large and small,
which is enterprising enough to place
itself before the financial, industrial
and investing public.
The Atlanta Convention will be pre-
sided over by W. B. Royster, Secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce of
Chattanooga, Tennessee. Its Secre-
tary, Edwin L. Quarels, Secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce of Peters
burg, Va, also Secretary of the
Southern Commercial Congress, and
W. G. Cooper, Secretary of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, in
conjunction with the Executive Com
mittee, are preparing to make Atlanta
Convention comparable with that in
Washington, D. c., December and
8 of last year, out of which grew the
Southern Commercial Congress of
which Jno. M. Parker, a wealthy
cotton planter and business man of
New Orleans, is president, and G.
Grosvenor Dave, Managing Director.
Atlanta is making usual prepara-
tions with characteristic Atlanta
energy to entertain the Convention
and New Orleans has already entered
the field for the Convention of 1910.
Manager M. B. Trezevant of the New
Orleans Progressive Union, who is
president of the Louisiana CONNER
cial Secretaries Association, has sent
out short pamphlet, illustrated with
half tone cuts Of New Orleans COM
mercial and other scenes, proposing
not only New Orleans Convention,
but trip to Panama as we'll. 1t is
proposed that the men who compose
the Southern Commercial Secretaries
Association shall charter one of the
new refrigerated vessels of the United
Fruit Company and go down to inspect
the great work, which is ofpar ticular
interest to those who are engaged in
the industrial promotion and trade ex-
pansion of the South the nearest sec
tion of the United States to the
Panama Canal. 1t will take about
twenty days to make the trip and will |
come during vacation time. AS these
new ships are cooled throughout by
air ducts leading from the refrigerat-
ing plant, trip to the tropics is now
as pleasant as yachting cruise.
The Southern Commercial Secre.
taries Association is approaching its
second year and has already done much |
to improve the South's capacity for
results, by bringing together the ac-
tive executive managers of the great |
commercial organizations of Mary |
land, Virginia, West Virginia, North |
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Mississippi, Louisian a,
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennes-
see, Kentucky and part of Missouri. |
