GENTRY BROS. SHOWS COMING

The interest that is inspired by the
coming of Gentry Bros. trim little
circus and animal show is not con-
fined to the juveniles, but the older
people, fathers and mothers, and
those of less distinction find enter
tainment under the white tents. The
night show will be a repetition OF
the afternoon.
Nothing else in the way OF a tented
show approaches in cleanliness and
order that of the Gentry Bros, the
acts Of the four-footed performers
being given In richly carpeted ring.
The atmosphere Is not that of a cir
Gus, but is original in enough re-
spects to make it unique. The stock
is in excellent condition, the band is
well balanced musical organization,
the animals have been prepared for
professional life with a wonderful
amount of care, and everything is
neat and tidy.
There are two features of a liberal
program that are not the contribu-
tions of elephants, ponies, dogs or
monkeys, which the above the ordi-
nary and which introduce an interest
that is appreciated.
The bulk of the program is given
over to animal acts. including the
monkey fire department, where the
flames OF the burning Monkey hotel
are subdued. The first act of the
program is the pyramidal groupins
of fifty ponies in a tableau represent
ing the great nations, followed by a
menageric act that earns applause.
The bucking mule introduces
clown comedy and the aerial act is
supplied by a high-diving dog. The
elephants form pyramids. stand on
their front legs. play musical instru-
ments and do other interesting
stunts. 1t is a clean. neat perform
ance and worth while for even the
jaded to consider. The show will be
here July is.

JORDAN ISSUES STATEMENT.
Peonage Laws Violated in Several
States, He Declares.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BEDFORD. Pa. September 11.-United
States Attorney John H. Jordan gave out
at his home here today a statement con-
cerning the federal investigation Of
charges of peonage In connection with the
strike at the plant Of the Pressed Steel
Car Company at Schoenville. He says:
''The government authorities at Wash
ington have very thoroughly gone over
the question involved in the charges
made Of peonage at the plant of the
Pressed Steel Car Company at McKees
Rock. Pa. Acting Attorney General Ellis
and Assistant Attorney General Russell
and Chief Finch of the Department Of
Justice were in conference with Agent
Hoagland and myself during the greater
part of the day.
Judge Russell Is the government au-
thority on peonage. He has prosecuted
numerous cases in different parts of the
country and particularly In the south.
He made a very searching investigation
of the facts in this case and was very
well posted on the law governing peonage
AFTER full investigation it was his
Judgment as well as that of Attorney
General Ellis and Chief Finch, that it
would be impossible to secure a convic-
ton in court in these cases on the charge
of peonage. This view coincided with
my own view.
"However. the representatives of the
Department of Justice, as we'll as myself,
were satisfied that there had been fragrant
violation of the law in New York and
Pennsylvania. as well as in Illinois, by
the employment agencies In employing
men and sending them to McKees Rocks
1T is my purpose to Gull from the tes-
timony the evidence bearing on this ques-
tion. as it applies to Philadelphia, New
York and Chicago. for the information
and use Of the prosecuting officers Of those
cities"

OIL LANDS SUIT BEGUN.
Half Million Acres In Dispute in
Central California.

LOS ANGELES Cal, September H.
Suit was filed today in the federal court
here involving title to oil-bearing lands
IN Coalinga. Midway and other oil fields
of central California, said to be valued
at upward of $35OO0.O00 and now held by
the Southern Pacific Company of Cali
fornia.
The suit is filed by T. s. Minot. an at
torney of San Francisco. who has not
disclosed the identity of his clients.
The total area Of land involved is about
a half million acres. It was granted to
the Southern Pacific more than forty
years ago. Patents were granted several
years ago. The validity of the govern
ment patents is now attacked, the con-
tention being that the land was granted
on the express stipulation that 1t must be
found to be more valuable for agricul-
tural purposes than for it's mineral depos-
its. The railroad received alternate sec
tions for twenty miles on either side of
its tracks.

NOT GUILTY OF W|LLFUL MURDER
STATEMENT OF THE SLAYER OF
CHARLES COOK.
Declares He Was Pursued, and That
He Fired Gun in Self
Defense.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, September lit
E. Hampton. an eighteen year old boy,
who shot and killed Charles Cook,
forty-five years old. in Henrico county
yesterday afternoon, declared this
morning that he was absolutely inno-
cent of the charge of premeditated
murder. He claims to have shot Cook
in self-defense, after the older man
had chased him a hundred yards with
a blackjack. The shooting occurred on
the Lipford dairy farm. two and a half
miles below the city. and was witness
ed by T. l.. Lipford, Mrs. Lipford and
a man named Walsh.
The story told by the boy this morn
ing is corroborated by both Mr.. and
Mrs. Lipford. 1t is stated that Cook
came back from Richmond yesterday
very drunk. He went to the Lpford
home. where Mrs. Lipford was alone at
the time. and used vile language to her
because her husbands cows had gotten
into his yard. Later the boy and Mrs.
Lipford were at work about the place.
when they heard Cook yelling from mis-
doorway. Mrs. Lipford sent Hampton
over to get the cows believing that
that was still the cause of the older
mans anger. The boy took the precau-
ton of taking a shotgun with MIN,
having heard that the reputation OF
Cook was not good.
Shooting Follows Quarrel.
Arrived at Cooks home. Hampton
asked him what he wanted. Cook, US
ing vile name, told him the cows mad
to be taken of the place. Some words
were passed and Cook, declaring that
he would kill Hampton, started after
him with blackjack. The boy ran
for a hundred yards. but. finding that
Cook was about to overtake him, turn
ed and fired one load of shot into the
ground in front of his pursuer. and
when this did not stop Cook he emptied
the other load into his side. Hampton
says he had no intention of killing
Cook, but merely meant to shoot him
in the legs. He was going backward
at the time, however, and shot high
Cook died before he could be brought
to hospital in the city.
Hampton stated this morning that. hei
is newspaper man and came from,
North Wilkesboro, N. C. He had been
working on the North Wilkesboro
Hustler for seven years when this
summer he decided to try for work in
a city. He came to Richmond, but, be-
ing unable to secure employment here,
hired himself out as farm hand to the
Lipford dairy. His mother still lives In
North Wilkesboro. His father is dead.
Hampton will be given preliminary
hearing in the early part of the week.

FACTOR IN MAIZE TRADE.
South African Farmers Realize
Possibilities of Their Land.

LONDON. September Z, 1909.
This year South Africa has astonished
the commercial world by suddenly be-
coming factor of Importance in the
maize trade. 1t is not long since South
African farmers began to realize the pos
sibilities of their land for the purposes of
maize growing and the great value of this
grain in the markets of Europe. Experts
on this continent declared that South Af-
rican maize was of the very finest quail
ity, and agriculturists found that the
South African climate and soil were Pc
culiarly favorable TO the growth of the
grain.
More than two years ago the Natal gov
ernment approached the South African
steamship lines with view of getting
especially low trade. At that time
the charge for maize was 1915 ton, and
the late Sir Donald Currie agreed to re-
duce this TO s.. 80 ton for ships loading
In the course OF ordinary call the ar
rangement being for two years. Owing to
this and the inducement of high prices
the trade grew apace. This year there
was not only specially large harvest,
but owing TO the fact that the natives had
grown large quantities of amabele, or
Faftir corn. they were not such extensive
buyers Of maize in former years. AS
result there was very large quantity
Of the grain available for shipment.
