TAKES OWN LIFE,
PROBABLY INSANE
MILWAUKEE RESIDENT SHOOTS
HIMSELF RATHER THAN GO
TO HOSPITAL.

Milwaukee, March determined
to prevent his removal to hospital
for examination as to his sanity,
George Will, living at $50 Twenty
first street, killed himself with shot
gun in front of his home at 1875
o'clock yesterday afternoon, just as
patrol wagon backed up to the curb.
Will had just stepped to the side
walk from the front door when he
took his life. Although a physician
stood at his side, the medical man did
not anticipate any demonstration or
unwillingness on the part of Will to
go.
Will was 20 years of age and UNI
married. He had been acting queerly
of late and the physician was asked
to take him to the emergency hospt-
tai yesterday afternoon for an exami-
nation. DR.. Schultz went to the home
to conduct him there
The physician called a patrol wagon
and the rear wheels of the rig had
just struck the curb after the vehicle
had been backed up when VIII, as he
emerged from the front door of the
home, placed the muzzle of the shot
gun against his left side and pulled
the trigger. He died instantly.

SENATOR ALLDS
HAS DAY IN COURT

Albany, March 1T was distinctly
Senator Aids day yesterday at the
bribery investigation. The defendant
occupied the witness stand from the
opening of the session. Senator Con-
ger and his attorneys offered no inter
ruption while the defendant told his
story that was a contradiction at ev-
cry point of Conger's assertion that
Aids solicited and received $1,000 for
blocking legislation hostile to the
bridge companies. Senator Aids
tried to show that there was no neces'
sity of the bridge interests giving him
money in 1901, because the results
they were alleged to seek by THIS
means had already been accomplished
through orders that came to Aids
from former United States Senator
Thomas G. Plat. Aids showed that
the bridge companies had reasons to
know this.

POSTAL SAVINGS
HELD IN ABEYANCE
SENATE DEFERS ACTION AN
OTHER DAY-STILL LIKELY
TO PASS.

Washington, March Talking ad-
vantage of the privilege reserved IN
its agreement concerning the vote on
the administration postal savings
bank bill, the senate at $50 p. m,
Yesterday took recess until 1890 a.
m. today without disposing of the
measure.
There is every reason to believe
that the bill will be disposed of be-
fore the close of the calendar today.
Senator Page had offered an amend
ment embodying a provision looking
to the establishment of reserve fund
in connection with postal savings.
Among the amendments adopted
was one suggested by Mr.. Smoot IN
accordance with last Saturdays con-
ference of republican leaders, regu-
lating the withdrawal of postal funds.
Senator Smith of South Carolina
found in the bill an adroitly framed
forerunner of central bank" and OPP
posed it as undemocratic and unrepub-
lican.

MED|TATORS ASKED

Baltimore March 4.-Last night all
things were at a pause between the
officials of the Baltimore e Ohio
railroad and the committee represent
ing their conductors and trainmen
who have been negotiating relative
to wages and service conditions. Yes
terday the committees formally notl-
fed President Willard that the men
have rejected the counter proposition
of the railroad as against the demands
of the men.
President Willard has called upon
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission and Commits
sioner of Labor Charles P. Neil to
act as mediators Should they fail
to bring the two parties together, ar
bitration under the Erdman act will
probably be resorted to.

trict of Chicago that he will not
sanction its proposition to reverse the
flow of the Calumet river as proposed
to the department. The commission

NEW YORK GRAND JURY MAKES
SIGNIFICANT DEMAND FOR
DOCUMENTS.
INVoKEs CONTEMPT ORDER TO
COMPEL PRODUCTION OF
AGREEMENTS.

New York, March 4.-Not satisfied
with the millions received in the pay
ment of the duty evaded by short
weights, involving the indictment of
the company's secretary, Charles X.
Heike, and the conviction of minor
employees, the United States govern
ment is still fighting hard to convict
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany under the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust act. Such action
was contemplated when the company
was indicted for putting the Pennsyl-
vania Sugar Refining company out of
business but the settlement of that
suit out of court and the interference
of the statute of limitations necessF
tated another legal tack and the mat
ter was laid before the federal grand
jury in New York early in January.
Not until yesterday, however, did
the scope of the inquiry become pub
lie. when the grand jury handed up
its presentment for contempt against
the company for the latter's failure
to produce certain books and papers
in response TO a subpoenae.
1t has been alleged that the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company controls
80 per cent of the sugar business IN
this country and a hint of its intri-
cate relations with various subsidiary
corporations is given in the subpoe-
nae. 1t demands, among other things
the production Of all agreements and
other instruments made by or to the
American Sugar Refining company OF
any officer thereof with any other
persons or corporation in and about
the purchase by said company OF
stock in forty-four companies"

AGED NEGRO PAYS
WITH HIS LIFE
PENALTY FOR BRUTAL oFFENsE
AGAINST TWo-YEAR-oLD
CHILD.

Dallas, Tex, March From the
very grasp of the law, Allen Brooks.
an aged negro, charged with Grimm
ally assaulting two-year-old white
child, was torn by Is members of
mob of 5000 men yesterday and
hanged. Brooks was seized in the
court room where he was on trial,
tossed through a second story window
to- the main body of the mob which
waited in the street below. His broks
en- body was dragged through the
streets and he was hanged at Elks'
arch. The mob was led by an old
negro.
Hardly loud word was spoken, not
shot was fired, and above all could
be heard the aged negro's trembling
shrieks Tor mercy. After Brooks was
hanged, Dallas for nearly three hours
was in the hands of the mob. The
Jail was stormed and death was
threatened against three other me-
groes held on charges of murder.
They had been spirited away, how
ever, and after searching for them in
vain the mob dispersed.
The crime for which Brooks paid
the penalty was most brutal. His al
| legged victim is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. ]. Buven.
Immediately after his arrest last
week, the negro was taken out of the
city for safekeeping. He was re-
turned yesterday. A great crowd
! gathered when the attorneys for the
defense began arguments for post
ponement.
Rumors started that a change of
venue had been granted. Immediate
ly the court room was charged by the
mob. Scores of officers were sum-
moned but were overpowered, the
locked doors of the court room were
wrecked and the negro, crouching in
the corner praying, was seized by the
leaders of the mob.

OF VAST ESTATE HIS FATHER
PROPOSES TO DEVOTE TO
PHILANTHROPY.
MERGER OF ROCKEFELLER CHAR
ITiEs-PossIRLY WHOLE nF
VAST FORTUNE.

New York, March Among char
tiles the new Rockefeller foundation
is TO become what the Standard Oil
company long has been among the
corporations and with John D. Rookie
Teller. Jr., as its head, will in another
sphere of influence perpetuate the
domination so long maintained in the
world of industry by John d. Mr..
Rockefeller announced yesterday
that he had recently retired from the
directorate of the Standard to as
sumo the management of his fathers
benefactions, of which he thus be-
comes almoner in chief.
The announcement in Wall street
was taken to mean two things, that
hereafter the Rockefeller millions
will no longer be a market factor.
Instead, it is assumed, they will pass
wholly into conservative securities.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr, now is 80
years old. Greeted on his graduation
from Brown university, some years
ago. as in prospect the richest young
man in the world, he now leaves the
field to j. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., ten
years his elde,. Mr. Morgan, ST., and
Mr.. Rockefeller, ST., are both near OF
an age. The former will be 70 next
April and the latter was 20 some
months ago. Both are in vigorous
health
Young Rockefeller's relations with
corporate finance in the future, it is
understood, will chiefly consist IN
conserving the huge fortune amassed
by his father, re-investing the income
and distributing such part of l. as
may seem wise.
1t is not thought likely that the
new foundation for philanthropy, as
proposed by the bill introduced N
the United States senate Wednesday
will assume settled policies for years
to come. Frederick T. Gates, one oil
the incorporators of the foundation
was understood in an interview yes
terday to mean that there will be a
gradual merger, along familiar Rookie
teller lines. of the Rockefeller char
tiles. Nobody yet ventures to maine
the amount for which the founoation
will be endowed but predictions go as
far as to include the whole Rookie
teller fortune.
