Louisville. Ky, Nov. 11.-J. Han gary Fawcett. cashier of the Mer- chants National Bank at New Albany. Ind, was killed; John K Woodward president of the bank. is dangerously wounded and James H. Tucker a negro chauffeur of Louisville, was fatally wounded this morning when a young man. partially identified as Arthur Hall. of Louisville, a dealer in second hand furniture, entered the bank and after commanding every one to throw up his hands and get in the vault" began shooting Faw- cett died almost instantly after being shot through the neck and chest Woodward was shot through the liver and intestines and Tucker through the body and may de
 Following the shooting the mur- derer rushed from the bank and tried to make his escape in an automobile which he had taken in front of a res idence from its owner, Mrs. Walter E. Scott, of Louisville. forcing the HcbIo CnduIIeuF dl lnt point oI gun to drive him to New Albany But the chauffeur. after the shooting at the bank. paralyzed with terror and apparently incapable of action. sat still. The robber jumped from the car and sent a bullet through the negro's body. Turning down the river bank. for a distance of two blocks the murderer ran at great speed. He appropriated skiff at the dock and was on his way to the Kentucky side before frightened citizens knew what was happening.
 An alarm was given and in a short time the police of the little city start ed in pursuit in a fast motor boat. captured the man and brought him to shore. only to confront the new peril of lynching. By a clever ruse Captain Adams stood off a crowd of zoo that thronged the dock. Com manding the prisoner to lie down the captain announced that the man had taken poison and was dead, mean while carrying him to a patrol wagon and giving word to drive ahead.
 The bandit was taken to the New Albany jail. A few moments later to escape the mob he was removed to the southern Indiana reformatory at JeffersOnville. There the prisoner re- fused to give his name, and talked only under pressure.

RELEASED SEIZED VESSEL OF
 AMERICAN COMPANY!
An Unwilling Contributor to the Niea-
 raguan Revolution.

Washington. Nov. 11.-StrOng repre- sentations on the part of the state de- partment have resulted in the release by the government of Honduras of the American gasoline launch Perlas, which was seized and held at Puerto Cortez, The launch is the property of the Port Perlas Banana Plantation company of New York. and was re- gently pressed into service by the rev olutionists at Bluefields. Nicaragua. When the launch arrived at Puerto Cor tez, en route to Puerto Barries. the vessel ran out. of fuel and was obliged to put in. There was one passenger on board and the launch was seized by the Honduran authorities on the ground that she carried a sympathizer with the Nicaraguan revolution, and that her clearance papers were irreg- ular
 The United States insisted that the vessel be returned to it's owners. but only after repeated representations was the restoration accomplished.
 There seems no doubt that the troops of the Nicaraguan government. now fighting the revolutiOnists. have invaded Costa Rica on the southern bank of the San Juan river. The gov ernment or Costa Rica, the state de- partment is informed. has asked Mic aragua foJ an explanation.
 Recent developments seem to indi- cate that Honduras is in full sympa thy with the Zelaya government. and has given substantial aid in the op erations against the revolutionists. This would be violation of article II of the Washington convention The state department is watching develop nents in the disturbed section.
 Costa Rica is believed to be acting in good faith. and Zelaya's invasion of her territory is thought to be with out her Knowledge or connivance. Dispatches to the state department in- dicate that the revolutiOnists are mak- ing substantial headway.

and steady pace. the red Isotta. They were close together when the grand stand was passed on the first lap. At the second lap they were still closer and the big crowd gave sigh of sat isfaction at the realization that they were about to witness great race. The stop watches caught the Kissel on the second mile in 63 Is. Then over on the far end of the course the Isotta was seen to steal up on the Kissel and pass her with a rush. Hanshue had slowed up in this mile and lost his advantage; during the rest of the race he never regained it. though there was once when he almost passed the Isotta in a tremendous burst of speed right in front of the quivering grandstand
 The lsotta merrily tore off the miles at varying distances in front of the kissel. Sometimes Free ran as far as an eighth of a mile ahead. and then fell back a sixteenth This was kept up till about the thirteenth mile when suddenly on the far side the crowd shrieked with delight As surely as a hound pursues a fawn the Kissel was bearing down on the Isotta. Slow " hNl Ni d liiilt pl udl Dt- tween the two cars was closed up. Past the grandstand they raced and the eighth became \ sixteenth and then a few hundred yards. In the fourteenth mile the Isotta came down the stretch like a red skyrocket on a dark night It was pursued by cloud of dust and everybody knew tha- inside that cloud of dust was the Kisselkar with Han shue at the wheel and his mechanician pumping oil as fast as he could. There was one wild yelp from the grand stand as the Isotta followed only three car lengths behind by the kissel, went by like two cyclones.
 It was the cruX of the whole race Had Hanshue passed Free at this mo- ment there might have been another story to tell. but he did not He lost ground at the turn and fell back on the next mile to same relative dis distance of the earlier part of the race
 At the twenty-fifth mile the Isotta was close to a quarter of a mile in ad- vance. At the fortieth mile the lead was even little greater and there was no more hope for the Kissel uniess the mechanism of the Isotta or the nerves of Frank Free gave out. The race was over but still the crowd watched hop ing to see the Kissel gain and make one of those spectacular finishes. When the red flag was flashed there was a difference of a. shade over a half mile between the Isotta and the Kisselkar
 Time, 52:45 for the Isotta ;for the Kisseiksr it was 53:1S 3-5. Both are well under the best previous record on a western track.
 Just as the race closed Colonel Fen ner was asked what he thought of it. I have not lived in vain," was all he

CRAZY
 WITH HATRED. Public Lynching of Slayer
 of Miss PeI|ey THE NEGROES CONFESSION Another Implicated By Him Narrowly Escaped - A White Wife Murderer Taken Out and Hanged A Rush of Militia to Town
THE NEGROES CONFESSION

Cairo. Ill, Nov. 11.-Will James, the negro suspected of being the murderer of Miss Annie Pelley was killed here tonight by a mob. When James was strung up to Hustler's Arch. the rope broke and at least 500 shots were pour ed into his body. He made a partial confession and implicated another ne gfo. Arthur Alexander.
 James was lynched in the most prominent square in the city which is spanned by an arch at Eighth and Commercial streets. Women were giv- en the first pull 1.-the rope. When it broke the frenzy of the mob was un- controllable and volley after volley was fired into the negro's body. The mob then dragged the body more than mile to the scene of the murder where it was burned. At least 10000 persons witnessed the lynching.
 James was found with Sheriff Davis at Belknap. near Karnack. III. by a crowd from Cairo The officers were overpowered. the negro captured and after a conference it was decided to bring him to Carlo and lynch him here
 When found by the mob. the negro was handcuffed between two officers. All were hiding on the bank of a creek. so weak from hunger and exposure as to be unable to offer resistance. James was found at o'clock this afternoon. Word was sent along the line to the scattered mob to board a Big Four train and meet the party with the ne- gro. The whole party arrived here on the Big Four at 7:45 pm. The negro was taken off at Tenth street and marched through the principal streets to the arch. When he stood under the arch he confessed.
 While James body was burning at the spot where the crime was commit ted 10000 people danced in glee. Rel atives of the murdered girl took part in the lynching. Mayor Parsons tonight called on Governor Deneen for state troops to restore order here.
 The negro's crime was the brutal murder of Miss Policy, an orphan, twenty-two years old, employed as a sales girl.

WHILE THEY WERE AT IT.

Carlo. Nov. 11.-At 11:15 tonight the mob after battering down a steel cell in the county jail here. took out Henry Salzner, a white man. charged with murdering his wife last August and lynched him.
 Salzner was photographer by trade. He killed his wife last August with an axe. The mob hanged him to a tele- graph pole and his body was riddled by bullets. The lynching followed closely that of James. The mob gave Salzner a chance to confess after the rope was around his neck but he could only humble that his sister had done the killing. The mob became furious at this and it was hard work to keep them off Salzner long enough to give him a chance to pray.

NO REFERENCE 10 INSURGEAT

Des Moines. Nov. 1t.-SenatOr AL drieh continued his series of addresses on finance here tonight in a a-speech before the Bankers club. Des AIoines is the home of Senator Cummins, one of the "insurgentr republican leaders. but those who expected the Rhode Is land senator to make any uncOmpli- mentary remarks concerning the Iowan were disappointed Mir. AL drich spoke of the growing import anee of the west as affording the best reason why the people of Iowa should demand a staple banking system.
 Tn discussing the commercial paper of foreign banking institutions Mr Aldrich said: 'Tn Germany all notes. taxed. or untaxed. must be covered by an amount of specie equal to one-third the total issue and the amount of bankable bills equal to the other two thirds These bills are what we call commercial paper. They must bear the names of two solvent parties and must not run for more than ninety days. to answer to the standard fixed for bankabIe bills.
 Tn France bankable bills must bear three names and must have the same limit as to time as the German bills. In Great Britain custom requires two. names of English citizens. one of whom must be the acceptOr.
 "Our people use prOmissory notes either with a single name or with en- dorsements. No such thing as a promissOry note is known in the or dinary experience of those countries. They give a form of obligation with mortgages and sometimes with collat- eral. which is perhaps the closest ap- proXimation to our form of promissory note. There. if dealer sells a GUS toner any article the merchant makes draft upon the purchaser and the draft is accepted and the paper is known as a bill of exchange. IT is for q real transaction and those bills are the foundation of the credit system of the countries I have named"
 Mir. Aldrich explained that in refer ring to the foreign banking systems he had no intention of urging the adoption Of any of them.
