famous disputes between President

preparation of $137, ,O22 900 or $26, 900, =

same limitation on the use of secret

forth the severe criticism of the pres

An attempted suicide was reported

his attempt at suicide was reticent.
The man is reported TO have taken
a large dose of strychnine with sui
cidal intent. Ii could not be learned
last night why the man attempted to
cast off his mortal life, but it is
thought he attempted the deed in
a fit of dependency attributed TO
worriment over which he had been
breeding.
The police. upon learning of the at
tempted suicide, took charge of Free

PRICES ON R0UGH
TIMBER To Be
REDUCED
LAWMAKERS SEEM TO BE IN
FAVOR OF MAKING A cuT-NoW
BELIEVED PRODUCT WILL BE
ADMITTED FREE.

Washington, d. c., Feb. l9.-That
.he duties on rough lumber will be
ieduced. prov ided Canada does not inn
0se an export duty, is expected as
pIe result OF the report Of the SPECIAL
house committee, watch IS inyeatigat-
ing the paper pulp and pulp wood in
dusry. 1t is generally understood
that the report will favor an impor-
tant reduction in the duty on print
paper, as well as the free admission
of wood pulp
Conferences have been held between
members of the ways and means and
the pulp and paper committees, re
sulting in an understanding that the
former committee will adopt into its
bill the recommendations of the lat
ter This is looked upon as indlca-
tive of the ways and means policy to-
ward the lumber industry, which is
closely related to paper
While the lumber manufacturers
are now organizing belated but de-
termlned protest against removal of
their production, the impression gains
ground that congress will decline TO
concede their claim and will place
at least rough lumber on the free list,
probably with the proyiso that this
shall not obtain unless Canada per
mits free exports of lumber.
For the first time the lumber in
terests are divided The manufactur-
ers and the retailers are not working
together Many of the latter are de
handing free lumber The manufac-
turers declare that the o-called lum-
Der trust is in reality community OF
interests arranged among great
number of associations of retailers and
holesalers. These arrangements are
declared to control selling prices, and
to enforce most rigorous system of
penalties in case the scheme is vie-
lated The manufacturers are in po-
sition to tell the facts about these
combinations of dealers, and they have
told enough of them to cause a lifting
OF eyebrows in amazement.

.CROSsRILL AGAINST
A., B. "a. IS NOW
FILED
OLD COLONY TRUST COMPANY
WANTS TO FoREcLosE ITS
MoRTGAGE-BILL IN NATURE
OF ANSWER TO ORIGINAL BILL.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 19--Another step
in the conduct of the affairs of the
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic rail-
way under the present receivers was
taken on Thursday morning when
Currier Rollins & Pillsbury, of Boston,
attorneys for the Old Colony Trust
Company, hled a cross bill in equity
for the foreclosure of mortgage held
by themselves as trustees to secure
S3O,0O0,000 of gold bonds of the At
lanta, birmingham & Atlantic rail-
road, payable on January /, 1903.
The cross bill is in the nature of an
answer TO the original bill filed in this
case, which call is for the appoint
ment of receivers for the Atlanta. Bir-
mhgham & Atlantic railroad and
placed the property of the road into
the hands of these receivers. The fill
ing of the cross bill was matter of
logical sequence and was anticipated
when the bill for receivership was
filed. The Old Colony Trust company
filed the cross bill for the protection
of its own rights and those of It's
bondholders.
The cross bill also calls for the ap-
pointment of receivers for the trust
company. 1t is not known whether
the trust company will choose as their
receivers the two receivers who are
at present acting for the Atlanta, Bir-
mingham & Atlantic railroad or not.
1t is understood, however, from at
torneys connected with the case here
that so far as they know there is no
friction between the Old Colony Trust
company and the receivers of the rail-
road, but that the filing of the cross
bill is procedure that was anticiDat
ed when the original receivership bin
was filed.
The bill reviews the preceding steps
in the litigation by which receivers
were appointed and bonds were sold.
and in regard to the $50, 100000 Of
bonds upon which foreclosure of thu
mortgage, held ly the Old Colony
trust company, as trustee, is asked.
says that they are gold coupon bonds
executed on January I, 1906, and nav
able on January / 1896.
The bill further shows that the
foreclosure is asked for on account OF
the default of the receivers of the At
l1nta, Birmingham & Atlantic rail
road to pay $311 ,S25 interest due on
the bonds on January 1, 1909. which
entities the defendant. the Old Col
ony Trust company, to foreclose the
mortgage for the protection of its
rights and those of its bondholders.
The cross bill has the signature Of
Judge Pardee, and was filed at
O'Clock on Thursday morning. 1t has
no relation to the order or petition
filed by the Atlanta, Birmingham &
Atlantic railroad on Wednesday, ask
ing for the extension of the author
ity of its receivers over the prop.
erty of its terminal stations.

DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE OLSEN
CASE
ANOTHER MAN is ARRESTED AND
OTHERS MAY BE IMPLICATED.
FRIENDS OF OLSEN DON'T BE.
LlEVE He KILLED ANDERSON.

There were some other develop
menjs yesterday in connection with
the arrest OF Jim Olsen. in Savannah
Thursday, charged with the murder of
Fred Anderson. tie engineer on his
gasoline launch, which occurred a
few weeks ago.
SherlH Bailey arrived in the city
with Olsen yesterday at noon. Be
.ore his arrival. however, he wired
to Chief of Police Owens 10 arrest
another man who is thought to be i'm
plicated in the murder. The man ar
rested is known as 'Dutchy' and was
Wan Olsen on the trip from Fernan-
dina to Brunswick
II also developed that Olsen and
Anderson were not alone, as has been
stated. but that there were six others
aboard the launch, including "Dutchy."
A majority of these men were sail
ors, however. and 1t is not now known
where they sarc one of the mum
Der is said to he AT sea on one of
the pilot boats.
Olsen and "Dutchy" both tell the
same story about the affair. 1t seems
that Olsen and "Dutchy" were both
In the pilot-house of the launch. While
crossing St Andrew sound it be-
came rough and Olsen gave the engi-
neer a signal to slow down the boat.
No response came and "Dutchy" was
sent to the engine room to see what the
trouble was. When he reached there
the engineer was rot in the engine
room. He then asked some of the
other sailors what had become of the
engineer, and they stated that he
went out on the deck of the launch
Anderson was never seen again
The fact that the man was found
with bullet hole through his head
and the further fact that Olsen and
nutchy'' were in the front of the
lanneh when the engineer disappeared,
it is likely that some of the other
sailors and not Olsen committed the
murder
Sheriff Bailey was seen by a News
reporter yesterday and he stated that
thorough investigation was made
and that there was no doubt whatever
aoout the bullet hole in the mans
head. A physician was secured and
examined the wound and others also
viewed it and they will he placed on
the stand at the trial
Friends of Olsen claim that he is
innocent of the charge and that this
can he proved if the other sailors who
were on the launch can be secured
1t is also stated by his friends that he
told of what he thought to be the ac-
cidental drowning of the enginee' as
soon as he reached the city.
Sheriff Bailey is making every ef-
fort to unravel the mysterious shoot
ing of the engineer He is sure that
the man was shot and is anxious to
bring the guilty person to Justice.

SECURE A NEW
LEASE OF LIFE
NO MOOSE YET FOR THE NIGHT
RIDERS OF TENNESEE-ATTOR-

Jackson. Tenn, Feb. Although
this was the day set by Judge Joseph
r. Jones, at Union City last month.
for the execution of the death sentence
imposed upon the six night ride
Garrett johnson, Arthur Cloar, Sam
Applewhite. Fred Pinion, It'd Burton
and Roy Ransom, the condemned men
have secured a new lease of life
through an appeal to the supreme
court, which is expected to act upon
the case during the May term at Jack
son.
Attorneys for the men are confident
that the appeal to the higher ccuIt
will eventually result in a mitigation
of the sentence imposed upon the
night riders. and that they will escape
the gallows.
The so-callod night riders were al
legged to have inaugurated a veritable
reign of terror and many atrocious
crimes are attributed to them, al
though they were convicted specifival-
ly of the assassination of Capt. Quen-
tin Rankin at Walnut Log, on October
19 last.
Appeal to the supreme court was
taken at the conclusion of the trial
last month, after the court had over
ruled motion for new trial, based
on various grounds. They were in
substance that the court had erred
in excluding certain testimony and in
receiving the evidence OF various wit
nesses; in refusing each defendant
twenty four challenges; in allowing
proof as to night rider meetings and
acts of lawlessness unconnected with
the murder of Captain Rankin, and
that one of the jurors had before the
trial expressed an opinion as to what
should be done with the man whc
killed Captain Rankin.

Since the report of the canvassers
Monday night. when about 81 900 was

Of the y. NJ. q. A. work for the COM

have been busly at work calling on
people for pledges and the result OF
the work will be watched with inter

tion building Tonight at $50 o'clock
for supper and reports.
While this canvass follows closely
tho last payment on the building fund
for many people and also the appeal
for money for the running expenses

matter so that henceforth the ASSOC

coming from, and as these pledges
may he paid any time before April,
