time.
Near the cemetery, just outside the

curves. The chauffeur lost control of
his machine, and it plunged into the
ditch and struck high brick wall.
The car overturned and all four of
the occupants were hurled into the
ditch. Mrs. Ffagler was so overcome
from the shock that she was unable
10 speak. and the physician feared
she had been badly injured. After
working over her for few minutes.

IDENTIFIED BY HOUsEKEEPER
She Claims That Accused Man Lock
ed Her in Her Room and Nailed
Down Windows

Florence, N. j., Nov. 9.-William
Hamilton, prosperous farmer and
prominent politician, the head OF a
family we'll known socially through
out the community and few years
ago leader in religious work in the
First Methodist Church of Florence,
was arrested yesterday charged with
being the masked bandit who last
Friday afternoon robbed the safe at
the home of Schuyler Rainier,
neighboring farmer, and took $4,000,
but overlooked bonds worth $4,000.
The crime with which Hamilton
stands charged is one of the most
unusual in the~criminal records OF
the state. Schuyler Rainier, an aged
farmer, worth $250,000 and known to
keep sums ranging from $1,000 to
$25. 900 in cash in an old safe at his
home, was working in a corn field last
Friday afternoon, when a masked rob-
Der invaded the farmhouse, made
Mrs. Jane Nixon, the aged housekeep-
er, prisoner in her room, and broke
open his safe.
Mrs. Nixon was the principal wit
ness against Hamilton at the hearing
in Magistrate Peacock's office. She
said she could positively identify the
prisoner as the safe robber.
I'm as innocent as any man in this
room, | was not ten feet awy from
my farm all day Friday" cried Ham
ilton, when Magistrate Peacock asked
him how he would plead. Against the
testimony of the witness, however.
the court said it could do nothing and
Hamilton must be held without bail
Since first began an Investigation
of the case and suspicion began at
once to point toward Bill Hamilton,
have not slept moment said
Magistrate Peacock after the hearing.
He and have been friends for
thirty years. We have grown up to-
gether and so have our boys The
hardest task of my life was to commit
him to Jail. | cannot believe he is
guilty. l think it must be a case of
mistaken identity. But under the
evidence | have to do my duty"
The Magistrates voice broke, and
there were tears in his eyes as he
spoke of his friendship for the prison
err.

SOCIALISTS LOSE
No cauouses Next Year Vote Being
Below Three Per Cent

North Adams, Nov. S.-The Social
list party in this city will not be able
to hold caucuses for state elections,
next year, because the total vote of
the party candidate for governor in
this state at Tuesdays election fell
below the necessary three per cent.
rhirty-eight towns in the state have
not yet filed returns at Boston but
there is no doubt of the great falling
off in the vote of the minor parties.
White, the Socialist candidate for gov
ernor, has 1881 votes to date out of a
total vote of close to 391 900.
Boston led all the Massachusetts
towns with 1147 and the other cities
in order were Brockton with S26,
Lynn with 522, Haverhill with 473,
Springfield with 401, Worcester with
260 and Lowell with 222. North Ad-
ans cast only 90 votes.
The slump in the vote throughout
the state will not have any effect up
on the standing of the Socialists until
1910 when the result will be officially
announced to the legislature when it
convenes at the beginning of the ses-
sion.

FREIGHT Rates
MAY Be REDUCED

Little Rock, March 24.-Freight
rates in Arkansas will take a drop
Monday which will be a decided
one and which will be appreciat-
ed very much by the shippers of
the state Monday, if Judge Trieber
considers the new tariff to be sub
mitted by the Arkansas Railroad
Commission with favor. After much
work, in which rate experts were
toiling night and day for several
weeks, the new tariff is completed.
1t shows an increase of 3313 per
cent over the old tariff OF the COM
mission, which was recently en-
joined by the railroads of the
state and the much higher rates ap-
piled. Judge Trieber, when the
petition for modification of the re-
straining order was before him re-
Gently, directed the commission
to prepare the tariff it had just
completed, and it is thought he
will direct the railroads to handle
freight under it until the injunc-
ton is definitely decided upon.

FOUR AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS
Provided for in Bellamy Bill,
Which Passes Senate.
Measure Now Goes to Governor, Who is
Expected to Sign it Without
Delay.

Little Rock, March 24.-Four
agricultural schools will Arkansas
have, each costing $40, 900, as soon
as there is money in the general
revenue fund, for the Bellamy bill
creating this many schools passed
the senate yesterday afternoon,
which went into a committee of
the whole and approved the bill,
then took up its final passage.
"The farmers are behind III the
race of life" said Senator Arnold
who closed the debate on the bill,
"simply because of the lack of
education along agricultural lines.
All Arkansas is interested in the
farmer and we should educate
them to become followers of an
honorable calling. l want to see
the old farm made to bloom, and l
favor not only one school in every
district, but one school in every
county.
My father educated me on the
farm was the brief comment of
Senator Carlock in opposition to
the passage of the bill, "and the
boys on the farm are now being
educated in the very same way.
This is another method of creating
a tax-eating institution. If these
schools are good, let us start with
one and try it
The discussion was fast and furi-
Gus for awhile. Senator Carlock
admitted he had planted Johnson
grass, and his opponents took this
as capital that the farmers need
education. Carlock, Glover and
Rowland were the only three vot-
ing against the bill, while 2.3 voted
in favor of it.
The bill will now be sent to the
governor for his signature, and it
is settled fact he will sign it, as
it was one of the recommendations
in his inaugural address.
Part of the afternoon in the senate
was spent in a discussion of the
general appropriation bill, the first
section being adopted. Amend
ments to increase the salaries of the
auditor from 81, 500 to $1,000,
with similar increase for the
treasurer, failed on the treasurer

500 to 81 900 failed.
