COMPROMISED OUT OF COURT

Lines-Vain Effort to Locate Mr..
Payne-General Manager Butler
Doesn't Believe 1t.

RICHMOND, VA, July 21.-Juige
Edmund Wadd.ll, Jr.. of the United
States Circuit Court Tor the Eastern
District of Virginia. today dismissed
a suit Ct the Maryland Trust Company
against the Newport News and Old
Point Railway and Electric Company.
The effect OF the suit. although the
purpose was not directly stated. was
to throw the Railway company, whlch
was largely involved, into the hands
of receivers. Judge Waddill stated to-
night that an injunction had been is
SUI d in the case, but this, as well as
other proceedings, were dismissed
when the case was settled out OF court.
. The order of dismissal was mailed 10
Norfolk tonight and will become on
record in that court tomorrow.
The amount involved is more than
two hundred thousand dollars and the
release will probably serve as an in
ducement to the OWNERS to make i'm
provements. Ii is said that this decls-
ion has been looked forward to with
interest in Norfolk and vicinity. The
suit has been psnding several years.
The agreement reached in the COM
promise is net stated, but it is under
stood that William j. Payne, of Rich
mond, will be opposed as a director
as well as an officer of the corpora
ton. 1t is understood that still other
corporations are involved in THE at
fairs OF the Newport News and Old
Point Railway and Electric Company.

NO ONE FORECASTS OUTCOME
Representatives of Majority in House
and Senate say They Don't Know
What viii Happen When Report
Is submitted-conferees Must Set
tie Their own Differences.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 2i.-The
White House dinner and conference
at which tariff conferees and the
Presidents closest advisors were
brought together tonight in the effort
to settle differences regarding the
tarln bill. ended at 1880 O'Clock with
the disputes over raw materials no
nearer adjustment than they we're be-
fore the dinner invitations were is
sued. Only one question was deter
mined beyond appeal and that was
that the conferees will have to settle
their cwn differences.
Pains were taken, however. to con-
vey the impression that this decision
is not Indicative of any absence OF APP
probation OF the Presidents efforts.
IL merely confirmed what the elders
statesmen had affirmed from the first
day. that tariff making Is trading.
Briefly stated. the representatives
of the house and senate practically ad-
mittec that they were unable to fore
east the outcome. Senaor Aldrich
spoke for he senate and Speaker Can
non and Representative Dwight. the
Republican whip. for the house.
Can't Forecast insurgents Strength.
Mr.. Dwight spoke Of the insurgent
movement organized by the "anti-free
raw material" faction in the house bur
he was not ready to estimate the
strength of this element. Representa-
tive Payne expressed the opinion that
a conference report carrying free iron
ore. COAL hides. and oil could be
adopted in the house, but he said that
he had not canvassed the situation
Senator Aldrich was very positive IN
the opinion that such a report would
fail in the Senate. but he thought
there could be reductions made in the
senate rates. with perhaps iron ore
and oil transferred to the free list,
without endangering its adoption.
President Didn't Press Conferees.
Apparently the PRESIDENT realized
that the time had not yet arrived to
call for a decision on the subject or
raw materials. II is stated that he did
not press the representatives Of either
house or senate for mere definite
spectiye branches OF Congress.
Some Of the conferees said after the
dinner that no conference report viii
. be signed until both houses had been
canvassed as to the probability Of its
being adopted. No one can say how
much this win delay adjournment of
the tariff session.
Banquet Carefully Prepared.

ner had been disposed of II was

GALVESTON. TEXAS, July 81
Fortified behind her 17-foot sea wall
and elevated to point above the dan

the disastrous storm of 1900. Part
Of the island on which the city is
situated was again inundated. the oy-
erflowing sea water reaching a height
Of seven feet or more. That portion
Of the island which has been pro-
tected suffered comparatively little
harm. No lives were lost, and the
property damage is not large.
Sweeping westward the tropical
storm. which had been central over
the Gulf of Mexico for "a hours,

of IS miles an hour and shifted TO

the island had already sought safety,
and the vessels that had cleared and
prepared TO sail we're riding at anchor
in the bay.
The fury of the storm abated and

TOWN STIRRED BY
 NEGROES BRUTALITY

Columbus, Ca, December 9.-(Spe- cial. )-Following an attempted criminal assault upon 14year- girl of East Highlands asl she was on her way to school in the suburbs this morning, posse of indignant citizens joined the sh eriff and his deputies today in an in effectual attempt to catch the negro at tempting the deed. After an all-day search through the suburbs of the city the posse returned tonight leaving deputy sheriffs to keep up an all-nigirt vigil.
 The little 14-year- old girl, in com pany with another, was passing through thick woods near her home when an unknown young yellow negro grabbing her. dragged her 100 yards from the main road. Her screams alarmed the man to such an extent that he released her before accomplishing his purpose and she made her way to a nearby farm house, where her story caused an immediate hunt to begin.
 Bloodhounds were secured and traced the negro to settlement of negroes
