to meet it if I don't give in to his de- mands on the spot? No, sir, not by an all fired sight. No, sir, not in thousand years. I own this outfit from keel to main peak, and if I can't run it my own way I'll scuttle it and go down with it. Understand? And if any mans looking for fight with me he'll find me quick enough, and I'll break him. no matter who or what he is. Yes, sir, by Sam, sir, like this,' Seizing thick ruler on the desk, he snapped it without apparent effort, and as he sat glaring there with his di- sheyeled hair, his pugnacious, massive underjaw protruding and his big fists tightly clinched on the broken wood. causing the muscles of his arms to bulge like knots on q gnarled tree, he presented the embodiment of might and ferocity.
 T don't know but what you're right, Cap'n Williams" drawled the superin- tendent with his unchangeable equa- nimity. Anyhow, you sure are en- titled to do what you Ike with your own."
 He went out and on his way to the office exit stopped at Brooks desk.
 "Well, how's things. boy?" he in- quired with an interest so kindly that one might have thought there was nothing else in the world with which his mind was occupied and never could have suspected that there lay before him for immediate solution the prob lem of preparing for great strike that threatened to tie up the business of one of the most important steam ship lines in the country. with ramif- cations extending from Boston all around the coast of South America to San Francisco.
 "Oh, so, so," answered Brooks. "By the bye, I'd be awful glad if you'd come up to supper tonight. Emma was say ing only this morning that we hadn't seen anything of you for week."
 'Thats so. I've got to square my self with Emma, though it hasn't been my fault altogether"
 'Then we'll expect you to supperw

 "So long, Jimsy." ':
 "So long,"
 And Smith sauntered out to attend to one of the greatest emergencies he had ever been called upon to meet in his life.

 Anything else you want to see me about?"
 Not now. You can get in touch with me any time you want me. You know about where I'm to be found"
 Smith drew in his long legs, raised himself from the chair and took up his hat 10 go.
 "See here, Smith" said the captain, his voice rising gradually to it's fear some below, its nigh on to twoscore years since I took my first vessel. the Sally Moran, out of Frisco as master and owner. bound for the south sea islands to trade, and I've commanded my own ship every minute since and held my own against all sorts of lub- bers as would have done me and done for me If they could.

SUGAR AND TOBACCO
 SCHEDULES COMPLETED
In the Senate-No Changes in Finance
 Committee Rates.

Washington, May 2S.-Senator Ald- rich succeeded today in getting &C., ton by the senate on the remainder of the sugar schedule with the under standing that the paragraph fixing duty on raw and refined sugar should be again placed before the senate if Senator Clay's health should so im- prove as to permit of his taking ad- vantage of an opportunity at later date to move an amendment cutting the figures in two. The tobacco schedule was also completed. No changes were made in the finance committee rates on either schedule.
 Senator Bradley made long speech early in the day in advovacy of the removal of the internal revenue tax of six cents pound on tobacco in "the hand" He asserted such action to be essential to the welfare of to- bacco growers throughout the country. and traced the raids of night riders in Kentucky and Tennessee to what he declared to be the unjust course of the tobacco trust in dealing with the tobacco producers.
 Just before the session closed Sena- tor McCumber spoke in behalf of a protective duty on agricultural prod ucts, predicting a great falling off in the American production of Wheat in the near future.

that the appropriations committee is going to turn down the anti -tubercu losis movement. There will be au- tkorized three homes to be built by the state in Hartford. New Haven and Fairfield counties, at a total cost of about $175,000 Apropos of this, what a tasteful and well judged and appro- priate thing it would be to name these homes after the three men who have shown so much interest in the project the late Governor Lilley, ex-Governor Woodruff, and Governor Weeks? Could anything be more suited to the situa- ticn than that the memory of the dead governor so near whose heart lay this whole problem of fighting the great white plague. should be so per- petuated? Could anything be more fitting than that one should be named after Rollin $. Woodruff, who appoint ed the present commission and is keenly interested in the whole sub ject? And 1t is far more than mere courtesy to name one for the present governor, who is heart and soul in this splendid movement from a deep personal interest and wide knowl edge of the needs of the state in this direction.

FIRST VIOLENCE TO RAILROAD PROPERTY
Occurred Last Night to Moving Freight, Causing the Race Question to Loom Up More Sharply-Whte Engineer Seriously Hurt by Stone Thrown-Possibil- ity of Speedy State Federal Intervention.

Atlanta, Ga, May 2s.-The first vio- lence to railroad property in the Geor- gia railroad firemen's strike occurred tonight to a moving freight at Lith- onia, Ga., and in consequence the race question loomed more sharply than ever over the situation, notwithstand- ing a day of much apparent progress toward settlement.
 Negro Fireman in Danger of Lynching
 A negro fireman was apparently the cause of the trouble, and he was rush. Cd to Atlanta on an engine to save him from threatening situation. 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 now blocks the main line and the progress of the mails. The rail- road officers declared tonight that the incident was the work of strike sym athizers, while a county official wired the governors office that it was mere ly an accident.
 Negro Fireman on Provision Train.
 The engine left here late today for Lithonia to bring a train load of per- ishable provisions from the siding at lithonia into Atlanta. Assurances have been given for several days that in the interest of local shippers whose valuable cars were tied up no demon stration would be made against haul ing these cars to Atlanta. When, how ey CT, the engine reached Lithonia about dusk, it was seen to carry a ne- gro fireman. as did the mail trains which passed Lithonia earlier in the day, exciting unfavorable comments.
 Engineer Hit by Stone.
 About two hundred people gathered at the station and just as the train was getting under headway 1t is said a stone flew in the cab winow and hit Engineer Downing.
 Load Stalled on Track.
 Next. according to the officials, sew eral men boarded the cars, set the

Philadelphia, May 2S.-At the close of a secret session of the executive committee of the street carmen's un- ion tonight it was reported tna: strike of motormen and conductors on all the lines in the city. as well as the su- burban lines controlled by tine Phila- delphia Rapid Transit company, would be ordered to take effect at o'clock tomorrow morning. Members of the committee refused either to affirm or deny this report and stated that their position would be set forth in a state ment which would be given out at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning. Meetings of street car workers are being held in all sections of the city tonight, at which both union and non-union men have been invited to attend
 The Philadelphia Rapid Transit com pany's officials say they are prepared to cope with a strike when it is de- clared and that if the union men leave their cars their places win be filled without delay
 The entire police force of the city has received orders from Director of Public Safety Clay to be prepared for emergency duty.
 Recently the motormen and cOnduc- tors were voluntarily given a raise of one cent. an hour. to become effective July 1st. Labor leaders, however. have been endeavoring to perfect their organization. taking advantage of the popular feeling against the company caused by the withdrawal Of six tickets for quarter. The officials of the com- pany have refused to treat with the union leaders and a recognition of the union is the end sought to be gained by the proposed strike.
 The Strike is On.

DEPUTY U. s. MARSHAL
 RESIGNED AT REQUEST
His Office Had Been Investigate by
 Secret Service Agents.

Providence R. l., May 2s.-Deputy United States Marshal Charles C. Newhall resigned today, following an investigation into the conduct Of his office by~a special secret service agent. Mir. Newhali held the office for a number of years.
 In announcing Deputy Eewhaii's re- tirement, Daniel R. Ballou. United States marshal late today issued tho following statement:
 Upon official information which has been submitted to the United States attorney general regarding complaints made against M. Newhall. the department of justice is inclined to the view that he should be separated from the service. This conclusion having been communicated to the deputy. he has rendered his resirna- ton to United States Marshal Ballou and 1t has been accepted, to take ef- feet June l."

brakes and cut off the air, causing the last car to break loose from the train. They also uncoupled the engine, leav- ing it's load stalled. According to the railroads statements, no attempt was made by local authorities to interfere with the attack.
 The report telephoned to state off, ctals here said merely that there was no violence, that the> train had run a short distance out of Lithonia, where it was stalled, and the engine contin- ued to Atlanta. After the train had stopped, said the report, small sized crowd swarmed upon the freight cars.
 Deputies to Protect Train Crews.
 It is believed that the railroad au- tllorities will attempt to clear the track at Lithonia for the mail trains early tomorrow, and that the deputies will be used to protect the train crews in clearing the track.
 State or Federal Intervention.
 Today brought forth almost simul- taneously the possibilities of speedy state or federal intervention believed by many persons of wide acQuaint- ance with local conditions to be heavy with danger of race trouble. It is ad- mitted that either federal or state aAl- thorities can run the trains and pre- serve armed order, but if the railroad insists on it's rights to hire negro fire men it is feared that racial enmity and reprisals on negroes will be stirred up in regions remote from the the railroad tracks
 UItimatum to General Manager.
 Atlanta, Ga May 2S.-An ultimatum which may stop the mails on the Geor- gia railroad tomorrow was delivered tonight by Assistant Chief Burgess of the engineers to General Manager Scott
 Engineer Downing was seriously in jured at Lithonia tonight, Burgess says, and he has forbidden engineers to take out trains until complete pro- tection is guaranteed.
