RICHMOND. VA. March S,.-Much
comment has been caused among
business men and others Of this ci'y
BY the speech made yesterday by
Allen Caper,cn BraXton at the lunch
con given DIR. Eliot, the retiring pres
ident OF Harvard.
Mr.. Brax,on, who confined his re-
marks to ten minutes, discussed the
Federal courts, corporation receiver
ships and the regulation of railroads.
It was bis suggestion concerning
toe railroads which attracted the
most attention.
Regulation Of Railroads.
In this connection he said:
FINALLY, to such OF you az NAV
know me, l need hardly say that l
am still a believer in government
regulation OF railroads.
Government ownership has always
struck me as not only unwise and I'M
desirable. but as so impracticable az
to be little, II anything. short CT pre-
posterous. Regulation. however, in
selligent and liberal. but none the
less effective. Is inevitable. and I for
one believe In it.
Much Yet to Be Learned.
"But there Is great deal about
regulation that Is yet to be learned.

in and given more thought to this
subject than the generality CT men.
and yet what do not know about II
would fll many books. l would ven
ture to suggest, however. two things
as at least worthy OF serious reficc'
don.
First. Should not the regulation
of all rates-lntrastate as we'll as
interstate-be exclusively a matter OF
Federal control:
This question Is suggested not only
by the fact that under the decisions
Of the United States Supreme Court.
regulation Of intrastate rates is. as a
matter OF fact, already taken out OF
the hands CT the states and put into
those Of Federal Courts. which now
have absolute control OF 1t: but also
because OF the more far reaching fact
that mira and interstate rates arc

Negro Sentenced to Death.

81 hampton, Feb. 21.-Dan Robert
son, colored, who killed Eliza Rob
sertson, colored, on Sunday morning
February Z, at the Hampton depot,
was tried on Wednesday and was
sconyicted of murder without recon-
smendation to mercy. Judge Watts
sentenced the negro to be hanged on
Friday, April %.
The negro does not seem to worry
In the least over the situation, as he
talks freely and to all who go to see
him says he hones they will get
enough of seeing him.
This is the first hanging to take
place in Hampton county since about
e15, years ago, when three negroes
were hanged for the murder of Mr..
Raymond Mears.
81 The deed committed by Dan Rob
2ertson was most brutal and bastard
~. The negro woman was cut from
sear to ear with a pocketknife and
stabbed several times in her breast
while she was screaming and fleeing
for her life, and to make sure of her
the last stab was in the head, just
above the ear, with the whole blade
s0f the knife broken off.

Editor NettleS RetireS.

Editor Nettles retires from the
fight by saying:
We regret the feeling injected in
to the situation by Brother Smith.
1t was not and is not the desire of
the Advocate either to introduce per-
sonalities or to develop personal
controversy over this matter. Such
a course would. we believe, result in
more serious harm to the church
and its members than could have
grown out of the original blunder.
In our editorial of February H.,
which the punctuation shows, was
written to follow Brother Smiths
disclaimer OF responsibility, we
spoke as one official of another. 1t
was from a sense of official RESPONSE
bility and with no shadow of unkind
feeling to Brother Smith, that we
expressed regret that he had not,
when it was in his power, stopped
the further progress Of this fatal
blunder. For the best interests of
the kingdom of Christ, we therefore
refrain from further discussion of
this subject.

Yeggmen Arrested in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 1S.-Four con-
fessed "yeggmen" and another man
declared by three of the confessors
to be the leader of their gang are
behind the bars in the city prison,
the net result of the drag net thrown
out by the Atlanta police this week
in an endeavor to break up the oper-
ations of safeblowers in this vlcln-
ity. .,,
Leroy Crozier, jim Webb and Will
knight confessed to four recent safe
robberies in Atlanta and declared
that William Jones, another man un-
der arrest, was the leader of the
gang.
Following their confession, the
men took the officers to some nearby
woods, where they dug up box OF
dynamite caps and nitro-glycerine
which they had buried few days
ago and which they said they
had expected to use in blowing the
safe of the postofice at Decatur. Ga,
Saturday night of this week. They
had also planned to rob a local
bank.

aren't the Livingston church matter,
that l am responsible for the. build
ing of that church with dlspensary
funds. I did not know a church at
Livingston was being built at all un-
til last weeks Advocate gave me the
information. Have no recollection or
any conversation on the. subject with
Rev. ]. A. Graham. Am sure would
have known that funds from the dis
pensary could not be applied to
building a Methodist church IT. such
a proposition had been made to me.
| recall no such proposition. There
was no movement to build a church
at Livingston during the year was
presiding elder of the district as the
minutes of the quarterly conference
will attest. Therefore, | am not re-
sponsible for that church.
The discipline, paragraph 463, last
clause, reads, provided, however,
that no house of worship shall be
built unless the authority of the
quarterly conference shall first have
been obtained" -,
During the seven years l served
as a presiding elder, | saw that this
law was observed. The records Will
prove that this law was observed.
The records will prove my statement
to be true. never presumed to give
consent or authority for building a
church anywhere. could not: The
quarterly conference alone had such
authority and there 1 willingly left
the responsibility. No consent or re-
fusal was given in 1907 to build a
church at Livingston, for reason
none was asked, The matter for au-
.thoritatiye action came before the
quarterly conference during the
year, the middle of the year, 1908,
and Rev. C. B. Smith was president
of that body.
