NEGRO'S DEATH
DUE TO Fright
THIS is THE BELIEF OF EAST
LAKE POLICE IN CASE OF
GEORGE JENKINS.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 10.-With
a sack of chickens beside him,
George Jenkins, a negro, was found
dead at East Lake at an early hour
this morning. The body was discov-
cred by j. H. Coburn shortly after 4
O'Clock. No blood was visible and the
negro had apparently fallen dead. A
casual examination failed to show anv
wounds. The body was taken in
charge by Assistant Coroner w. S.
Russell.
The dead negro was found lying in
the street at Eighty-first and Eighty
second streets, had just left his
house shortly after 4 o'clock, when
he discovered the body. Beside the
negro was lying a sack with four hens
in it. The fowls heads had been
wrung off and their wings locked to-
gether.
Several people in the neighborhood
heard shots fired about 2 o'clock, and
it is the beslief that the negro was
scared to death. In the neighborhood
it was stated that five shots in rapid
succession had been heard. The ne
gro is thought to have been discov,
cred and fired at. He is said to have
been a very delicate negro and was
crippled from stroke of paralysis.
Heart failure due to fright is be-
lieved by the East Lake police to
have caused his death.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
ISSUES WARNING AGAINST
SUCH DRUGS.
Many of the Remedies Trangress the

Pure Food Law and Are Adver-
tised as Containing no Harm
less Ingredient.

NEW YORK, July 10.-A special to
the Globe from Washington says: The
Department of Agriculture, through
the Division of drugs, today warned
the public against the indiscriminate
and unintentional use of such drugs
as brain food" and nerve food
more especially against phenacetin,
antipyrin and acetanilid, substances
much employed to relieve headache
and other minor aches and pains.
Sometimes the substances are used
for these maladies directly and other
times are used in proprietary prepa-
rations.
! DR.. l.. r. Kebler chief of the Drugs
Division, has been looking into their
use, and has prepared a bulletin on
the subject warning of the dangers.
1t appears the three drugs named, all
of them common, were used to reduce
the temperatur of the body in fevers,
| and then only under the advice OF a
physician. In later years they began to
be widel used for headaches. etc.
The Investigations of the Drugs Di-
vision show that these substances, far
pm being harmless or safe to take,
are poisons in the true sense of the
acetin. The reason given referred in al
ical profession, but not by the gener-
al public; and all three are used less
than formerly by practitioners.
Of the physicians who gave informa-
tion on the subject in reply to an in
quiry by the Department of Agricult-
ure &C per cent. said they they used
Iantiphyrin and actenilid less than form
erly, and 81 per cent. said this of phen-
actin. The rason given referred in al
most every case to the poisonous prop
critics of these agents, especially their
depressing effect on the heart.
Dr. Kebler says there is nothing to
indicate an appreciation on the part
of the public of the dangerous nature
of these drugs, if one can Judge from
the ever-increasing sale of the drugs
themselvs, and preparations contain
ing them. In order to get at the facts,
the department conducted an invest
cation by making an inquiry of medi,
cal practitioners all over the country,
and by study of the cases of poison
ing resulting from the drugs. This in
vestigation discloses that many pre-
parations containing. these or other
dangerous agents are put on the mar
ket with statements that transgress
the section of the pure food and drugs
act on misbranding. The mlsrepre-
sentation in many instances takes
the form of assertions that the rem

NAL ASSERTS HIS BELIEF THAT
FAMOUS RlsoNER INNOCENT.
Claims That There Is Good Reason to
Believe That Patrick Did Not Forge
the Rice WiII-Lawyers Well Paid

NEW YORK, July 1O-In the Medi-
co-Legal journal, Clark Bell, who
served sixteen terms as president of
the Medico-Legal Society, makes the
statement that the innocence of Al
bert T. Patrick, now under life SEN
tence for the murder of william
Marsh Rice, has been scientifically
demonstrated,
Mr.. Bell declares that he has inves-
tieated the assertion that certain law
yers received nearly a quarter of a
million dollars of Mr.. Rice's money to
procure Patrick's conviction, and
found it to be true.
Patrick was indicted for the forg-
cry of the Rice WILL" says Mr.. Bell
"but has never been tried on that
charge. The subscribing witnesses
to that will have both sworn posi-
lively that they saw Mr.. Rice sign it,
that he understood it and that they
signed it in his presence, and at his
request as subscribing witnesses on
the day of its date. They are reput-
able members of the bar in this city
in active practice. They were in
dicted for their part of the transac-
ton, but have never been tried on
that indictment, in spite of their
constant and repeated efforts to have
a trial
"The jury which tried Patrick. the
judge who sentenced him and the
judges of the Court of Appeals who
upheld the conviction all believe Pat
rick forged the will, and all the peo-
pie of the city supposed and believed
he had forged it at the time of his
trial. He never has been tried for
that offense, and the fact seems now
beyond question that he never forged
the will
mo application for pardon has been
made to Governor Hughes by Mr.. Pat
rick or his advisors. He is innocent
of the crime for which he was con-
victed beyond a doubt or question, and
yet is in prison on a commutation Of
sentence applied for over his most
earnest protest without his consent
or authority"

The boys are looking forward to a

citizens will watch the papers close
ly to see how they are behaving at
the Capital City. 1t goes without say
ing, however, that they will conduct
themselves creditably, as the company
is officered by gentlemen who are
well versed in military tactics and
etiquette and the encampment is ex-
pected to be the most satisfactory
from every point of view which has
been held in this state for many
years.

IMPROVEMENTS At
HAMPER PARK

Hamper Park Is naturally as pretty
place as could be found anywhere,
having a good growth Of large hard
wood trees, such as oak, maple, bay,
elder, etc., and the stream which
traverses the length of the grounds is
most picturesque. The work which
has already been done has added
greatly to the beauty of the place,
and the commission hopes to have all
the work done and the park open to
visitors before another season closes.
Hattiesburg citizens will no doubt
be very much gratified to know that
the work is progressing so nicely, for
park such as this will be would do
credit to any city, and will serve to
keep many of our people at home on
holidays, as here -ofore it has been a
custom for them to go out of the city
in order to enjoy brief vacation.
Prof. Phillips and Mr.. Montague are
doing all in their power to push the
work, and it is needless to say that
under their supervision everything
needful will be done to give Hatties-
burg a beautiful park.

GIFT FOR MISSISSIPPI.

Washington, July 10.-The figure
head of hte battleship Mississippi will
be given to the State of Mississippi if
Governor Noel will make a formal re-
quest for it. Representative Humph-

effect from Secretary Meyer, in an
swer to the congressman's request
that the figurhead be given to the
state.
The suggestion that Gov. Noel ask
for it was made so as to have the do

MAY CONTEST ELECTION.

BRISTOL, Va, July 10.-There
will be no saloons in Bristol, as re-
suit Of yesterdays election, before
the first week in August. This rather
unexpected situation caused chagrin
among the liquor contingent, some Of
whom had planned to open saloons
within the next few days.
1t results from the recent resigna-
tion Of Judge Price, Of the corporation
court, which becomes effective to-
morrow. Judge Price adjourned court
today and as his successor, Judge
Joseph L. Kelly, will not qualify until
August 1, there is no means before
that date of securing the necessary
licenses.
The prohibition forces today began
a segregation and regulation fight and
will try to prevent the opening of sa-
looms on State street one side of which
lies within Tennessee, the state line
being the middle of the principal thor,
oughfare. An excise commission will
probably be appointed by Judge Kelly
to handle all applications for licenses.
. 1t was stated tonight that the "drys"
contemplate contesting the election.
No statement will be given out until

ground to the city and an assess

purpose of beautifying the grounds
and putting the park in proper condi-
tons

BIGAMY WAS
HIS SPECIALITY
JOHN MADISON MARRIED WOMEN
AND GOT THEIR MONEY.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-John
Madison wanted for bigamy in nearly
every large city in America, and in
many of the smaller ones, is in the
hands of the police here. The author
tiles have established his marriage
to ten women and his engagement Of
marriage to fourteen others. Each Of
the twenty-four women duped by Mad
son, is said by the police to have lost
more or less mony through him. The
largest amount was from Mrs. Eliza
beth N. E. Jackson, of lola, Kan
from whom he is said to have obtained
$1,400.
Madison is said to have deserted
each of these women within a few
hours after marriage. Among the
women to whom he was either en-
gagged or married was one each in
Jonesboro, Ark; Gettysburg, o., and
New Orleans, La.
The strange history of Madison,
who is an aged man, extends over only
a few years. Almost without excep-
tion his victims have been widows or
divorced women of middle age. Mad
son may be taken for trial to Stock
ton, where one of his wives resides
but in the meantime the police here
are trying to secure a complete con-
fession from him.
