WOMAN LEAPS FROM WINDOW
And Very Soon After the Fireman
Followed Suit.

A strange mental suggestion is
attributed by the coroners as the
cause of two sensational suicides in
New York City.
Mrs. Ella Friedman leaped to
her death from the front window of
her fourth story apartment in the
Williamsburg section Of Brooklyn,
presumed to have been mentally un-
balanced by recent illness. Foreman
Thomas ]. McCue, of fire engine COM
pany No. IA, was passing through
the street at the time and after as
sisting the police in removing the
woman's body to her apartment he
went to his home.
a half hour later he climbed to
the roof Of an apartment building
seven blocks away and jumped off.
He also was instantly killed. Nc
Cue and Mrs. Friedman did not
know each other.
The coroner decided that Mrs.
Friendmann perhaps received her in
spiration from the suicide Of anoth-
er woman who four years ago killed
herself by jumping from the same
window and that McCue's inspiration
came from witnessing the suicide OF
Mrs. Friedman.

WHITES MADE BLACK
And Blacks Are Made White in
Coscob, Conn.

Temperance cranks, worse than
the Ku KluX Klan and the Night
Riders, are operating in the village
of Coscob, Conn. Habitues of the
village saloon believe they are try
ing to discourage drunkenness by
white washing negroes when they be-
come intoxicated and by using stove
blacking on whites while under the
influence of liquor. Others say the
coloring is the work Of village Wags,
but at the best the inebriates are
indignant.
A few nights ago the police OF
Greenwich received call to arrest
drunken negro in Coscob. Police
man Jones took the man to a cell.
Next morning the jailor aroused the
man when he called Come out here
YOU nigger." A torrent of profani-
ty issued from the cell and Charles
Carolig, a white man, but black as
the ace of spades, came forward.
A short time ago Justice Brush
tried a white" man, and he was
whittier than snow, on charge of
drunkenness. He had been white
washed while in stupor. Other
similar cases are reported, but the
drunks are never able o identify
the perpetrators OF the Iorrible OUT
RACES as they characterize them.

GETTING THE BOOZE.
How the Game is Worked Over in
Georgia.

In Georgia city recent traveller,
approaching the clerk of the best
hotel, said: Il would like ROOM"
Responded the clerk: You want
a dollar or dollar and half rooln?"
"a dollar and half room."
The guest was given the key to
his room. and upon having been
shown to it by bellboy, unlocked
the door and found upon the table
conspicuously in the middle of the
room a quart Of, the best whiskey,
which probably would have cost him
about dollar and half anywhere
ir America. This he put in his pock-
ct and demurely went his way.
1t seems that some time later the
prohibitionists of the city, having
gotten wind of this evasive method
OF circumventing the liquor law, en-
ployed a detective to go through the
same process. He did so, obtained
his whiskey and had the proprietor
of the hotel arrested for selling the
liqour without a license. In court he
admitted that in the first place he
had not purchased any liquor, and
that in the second place he carried
away the liquor he found upon the
table he had hired-whereupon he
promptly was arrested for petty lar

STRIKE WORRIES
THE CABINET AT WASHINGTON,
SAYS ZACH MCGEE.
1t Is Feared That it May Seriously
Embarrass "Solid SOuthbustipS
r,,,,;r,, 90 Drocidapt Taft

VI AcASs
In letter to The State Zach NC
Gee says the administration is grave
ly concerned over the strike situation
in Georgia, where the white firemen
are trying to displace negro fremen.
The entire cabinet meeting Friday
was given over to consideration OF
it. Since all along the Georgia rail-
road the white people sympathize
with the strikers, it is momentarily
expected here that violence will
break out If it does it is more than
likely that attacks will be made up
on trains carrying United States
mail, in which case will devolve upon
the administration the absolute ne
cessity to send down either marshals
or troops, or both.
In this contingency the Washing
ton administration will be put in the
attitude of taking up for the negro
in the South against the white man,
most embarrassing and awkard at
titude at the beginning of this solid
Southbusting" campaign Mr.. Taft
has entered upon with such auspici-
business and harmoniouSness.
1t is also feared that the strike
will spread to other States in the
or industries, in which case people,
or Industries, n which case the people,
throughout the South would be made
to feel directly the force of the ad-
ministration operating against the
white man in favor of the negro.
The conference was long and ear
nest, with grave faces, especially on
the part of the president and Post
master General Hitchcock, who is in
charge of the "solid South-busting"
business.
No conclusion was reached as to
what was to be done, for no one
could suggest anything practical to
end the strike except to pray. And
that is what they are doing, awaiting
further news from the scene.

THE NETS WIN.

fought political campaign in the his
tory of this city. the anti-sa'oon
league Of Virginia met singal de-
feat, the "wets" winning by MAORI
ty of SIS in total vote of 1892.
The league made a most aggressive
fight, bringing many of its strongest
speakers into the field.
The fight for the 'wets" was made
by The Business Meas Association,
which relied on home speakers and
vigorously and successfully attacked
the leagues importation Of hired
foreign speakers. The election was
marked by the leagues usual meth
DDS Of serving luncheon to the polls,
and having women and children sing
ing and praying.
Only one breach Of peace occurred
and that was between two church

LONG AIRsHIP TRIP
COUNT ZEPPELIN BREAKS ALL
BALLOON RECORDS.
German Aeronaut Performs Most
Remarkable Feat of Remarkable
Career-Sailed 456 Miles.

Count Zeppelin, says a dispatch
from Berlin, Germany, whose re-
markable performance in his first
airship brought unbounded honors to
the inventor, Sunday accomplished
the most startling feat in his career
He guided his Zephelin II from Fred
erickshafen to Bitterfeld, a distance
of more than ass miles, without
landing. The journey lasted nearly
% hours and so far as known Sun
day night Count Zeppelin is still in
the air, on the return journey to
Frederichshafen. He has already
beaten all records for dirigible-
balloons.
1t was announced that the count
would come to Berlin and land at
the Hemplehof parade ground. Hun
dreds of thousands gathered there
Sunday afternoon. The emperor and
empress, several of the princes and
the leading military officials and Of
icers were present and towards eve
ming searchlights kept an enormous
space clear, until it was learned the
airship was returning to Fredchshaf-
en-, which caused intense disappoint-
ment.
The voyage began under rather
unfavorable conditions. There was
lowering sky, rain clouds, and
strong wind when the airship left the
floating hall shortly after 9 o'clock
Sunday night. The residents did
not pay much attention to this, as
they were accustomed to night
flights, and when the great ship took
the air at 9:42 there was not cheer
to speed her on her way. The ship
ascended directly for few hundred
feet and passing over the town or
Friedrichshafen, proceeded north
ward.
Early in the morning the people
of Treuchtlingen, a small city IN
central Bavaria, were awakened by
the noise of the propellers OF the
craft which was passing slowly at
low altitude. The count here drop
ped out card, divulging his inten-
ton to proceed farther north. His
arrival an hour and half later at
Nuremburg caused the greatest sur
prise to thousands of pleasure-seek-
ers preparing for holiday excursions.
The ship manoeuvred over, the
city, and a card was thrown out,
stating that a great amount Of water
and benzine had been used and that
the craft would descend at Lake
Dutzenteich to replenish the water
supply. This, however, was not
done.
Count Zeppelin continued towards
Berlin, passing over several towns
of a low altitude, amid the cheers OF
the populace, until he reached the
frontiers of SaXony, where the air
ship was headed straight for Leipsic.
Indications were that it would make
a landing there and the entire popu-
lace waited for several hours in the
streets and open spaces to greet him.
Instead of landing, the count put his
craft through series of manoeuv-
res, coming at times close to the
tops of buildings. He then went on,
crossing Halle, to Bitterfeld. Then
to everybody's surprise the airship
turned again and sailed to the
south.

Dances to Death in Jail.

THE COCAINE CURSE
CONGRESS URGED TO PROTECT
AMERICAN HOMES.
High Tariff on the Deadly Drug
Demanded as the United States
Should Control Its Tariff.


Calling upon congress for form
of tariff protection that will guard
all American homes from the rava-
ges of the cocaine habit, thousands
of medical men, philanthropic work
ers and the principal drug houses in
New York City are supporting the
recommendation of the American
Health League for federal control of
the deadly drug.
Only by placing prohibitory duty
upon the foreign cocaine with which
the illegal distributors are now sup
piled in defiance of all State laws can
the growth of drug dives throughout
the country be checked, the leaders
of the movement declare.
From every section of the land
reports have been received showing
that the people are ready to de-
mand of their representatives in
Washington this relief from the vice
and ,crime that is spreading 'un-
checked with the free supply of CO.
caine from abroad.
Only fifty per cent of all the CO.
caine consumed in the United States
last year was devoted to legitimate
uses, experts are prepared to show
congress, while the other half OF the
total sales of this drug was covertly
supplies to the dens of the dope
fend" which are rapidly increasing.
While the American manufacturers
and wholesalers are refusing to pan
der to the increasing demands of the
illicit cocaine distributors and can be
held accountable by state and local
authorities for their sales, absolutely
no hold can be taken on the under
ground supply of the drug from
abroad, it is shown.
Cocoa leaves from which the drug
victims may extract form of CO.
caine with which to meet their crav-
ing are now free of duty and easily
available, it is also pointed out.
Backed by philanthropic organi-
cations and individuals throughout
the country, the leaders of this move
ment have already presented to the
finance committee of the senate at
Washington the peoples claim for
protection against the inroads of the
cocaine curse.
A prohibitory tariff of $3.50 an
ounce on the foreign supply of the
drug is being urged as we'll as a
duty Of five cents pounds on the
cocoa leaves, which will give Uncle
Sam a hold upon their distribution.
1t is also proposed to place an
internal revenue tax upon this drug
and to require its manufacturers to
be bonded and licensed by the gov
ernment. The placing of special
revenue stamp on every package Of
cocaine, with the record required to
be kept Of its quality and purchaser.
the authorities declare, vii result in
the speedy restriction of the illegal
trafiice in the drug.
That the senate leaders have up to
this time refused to consider their
claims on the ground that they were
not concerned with tie nation S
morals" was asserted by leaders Of
this crusade against the cocaine evil
When the people Of every part Of the
country are alive to this chance to
check the spreading drug plague,
however, every one OF their repre-
sentatives al Washington will be urg-
ed to its immediate consideration, it
is believed.
