ITALIAN

Sitting in a natural position on the
stump Of an old tree on the banks Of
the Raritan canal with a fishing rod
in his hands, Joseph Troyiati, OF
Raritan, n. j., was found yesterday
morning murdered by an unknown
assassin, who had approached him
from behind and, placing a revolver
close to the back of his head, fired
two shots, which must have killed him
instantly. His body, which was support
ed by a sapling, had scarcely shifted
its position and the fishing rod was
still held by a death grip in his hands.
The murdered man, sitting l n this
position, had been passed IN the early
morning by several rowbOats, the
occupants Of which believed that he
was still fishing or had fallen asleep.
1t was not until 8 O'Clock that two
farm hands passed him on the canal
bank and on failing to get any response
when they asked him what luck ne
was having, made an investigation.
The officials have been unable to OBJ
tain any clue to the identity of the
murderer. Troviati is known as a hard
working Italian.
There have been several murders as
the outgrowth OF feuds among the
Italians Of Pa tan during recent years.
There has recently been a race wa
between negroes and a number OF
whites Of Raritan.

johnson In New York.

New YORK, July 11.-Despite the fact
that the Twentieth Century Limited, OIL
which Jack Johnson came to New
York, was delayed three and a half
hours because Of a wreck on the New
York Central Just south OF Albany, six.
teen thousand inhabitants of the Black
Belt" swarmed around the Grand Cen
trail Depot from early morning, waiting
to greet the conqueror OF Jim Jeffries.
One hundred policemen were on duty,
while mounted reserves were held ready
in the neighboring precincts to disperse
the crowds il the occasion demanded.
The refusal Of Police Commissioner
Baker to allow several brass bands to
lead a procession of 100 automobiles
through the streets, in honor Of John
son, angered the negroes, who planned
to hold the automobile parade at all
hazards. While the owners Of garages
and private automobiles refused to rem
machines to negrOe' for use in the pa
ra le, two negroes who keep garages
were willing to give their cars away, If
necessary, to have plenty on hand.
Seyenty-five negroes were found who
own cars,
Johnson is billed to appear this week
at Hammerstein's Roof Garden, at a
salary of $1,000.
Johnson's train was due at $50, and
if vas planned that Johnson should i'm
mediately enter an awaiting automo-
bile. and followed by 100 or o
machines, drive to Baron Wilkens'
saloon. in west Thirty fifth street. Here
he was to be met by a band and escort
ed to the balcony overlooking the
street, where he was TO make some
remarks. Then he was to take lunch.
Wilkens won $10,0 600 on Johnson's
victory and was prepared to spend a
large portion of it in entertaining the
negro champion.
Chief Inspector Schmittberger de-
clared that under no circumstances
would Johnson be allowed to make a
speech from the balcony of Wilkens'
saloon.
The crowd OF negroes continued to
grow as the morning advanced, and the
police had plenty OF trouble keeping
the darkeys on the move and prevent
ing the stoppage Of traffic. The size OF
the gathering was due in part to the
wide circulation through the black
belt" of a circular which read as fol-
lows
"All hail Jack Johnson, the absolute
champion Of the world Every colored

THAT was a graceful and kindly act
in Judge James Keith, president Of the
Virginia Court of Appeals, in writing
Attorney General Wickersham in be
half of Col. John S. Mosby. As was
stated in the Gazette OF Saturday, so
soon as Judge Keith learned that the
attorney general had requested Col.
Mosby's resignation OF the position he
was holding in the Department OF JUS
tice, he promptly, and without consult
ing Col. Mosby, addressed a manly
letter to the attorney general asking
him TO reconsider the matter and with
hold the request. Judge Keith and Col.
Mosby have no. been politically aiili-
ated for over a quarter Of a century
and on political grounds the latter had
little reason to expect profcred aid from
such a quarter, but Judge Keith With
his broad mind and big heart threw
party feeling to the winds when he
learned that an injustice was being
done a brave man and former fellow
toSnsman and promptly and unsolicited
endeavored to have the injustice rlghted.

ALEXANDRIA, VA
MONDAY EVENING, JULY II.

THE dismissal of Col. j. 5. Mosby
from the position he had held for some
time as special attorney in the Depart
ment of Justice has caused consider
able comment throughout the country
and many dispatches concerning ms
dismissal have been sent out from
Washington, among them the fol-
lowing
Colonel John S. Mosby was dismiss
ed from his position Of special attorney
in the Department Of Justice because
he did not stand in with the present
administration. Some three years ago
Colonel Mosby was detailed to %inyestl-
gate land frauds in the west, particu.
larry Nebraska. His report implicated
in fraudulent acquisition Of govern
ment land men of great promise IN
public and business life. Its q matter
of common knowledge that Colonel
Mosby never has been assigned to work
Of any character by his superiors since
he got after the land thieves" He
used th;s term always in s%re9klng OF
them. President Roosevelt is Under
stood to have backed Colonel MoSby
in his efforts to put prominent men III
Jail, but great wads Of red tape IN the
department clogged hopelessly the
wheels Of Justice, which, together with
keeping Mosby off the cases, has pre-
vented successful prosecutions thus FAR
Colonel Mosby uncovered many evil
scented facts which would tend to cast
suspicion on government officials. lie
has remained mum" as concerns
these, but now hat he has left the ser
vice he may feel free to tell what he
knows. He has been offered $4,000
by New York publishing houses to write
his autobiography. His knowledge OF
certain things which he discovered IL
the brief time he was allowed to probe
the methods used in acquiring portions
Of the public domain would enable him
to write "%stufi" which would yield him
fully as much.
The suggestion that President Roose-
welt backed Col. MoSby in his efforts
to put prominent men in jail Is abso-
Iutely untrue. The president, as a
matter of fact, did send Col. Mosby to
the west with positive instructions to
clear the government lands from the
control of unlawful cattle barons,
who had taken possession OF them and
promised that he would back" HIM,
but so soon as the colonel commenced
his work which promised TO be- Ugo-
rously prosecuted he was recalled and
sent to Mobile. 1t was sOor thereafter as
certainedthat the cattle barons andland
grabbers, through then Senator Diet
rich and others had gone to President
Roosevelt and told him that if lac did
not recall Mosby the northwest at the
next election would vote the democratic
ticket. But Mr.. Roosevelt is constant
ly prating about a square deal.

SOME of the Washington papers per-
sist in making a mountain OF a mole
hill in the matter of the visit early ON
Friday morning last OF a number of
soldiers stationed at Fort Myer to the
Alexandria county Jail where a negro
was confined who had cut one of their
companions during a row ON an cleo
trio car on the night Of July 4. 1t Is
positively denied that the men offered
any force, created any disorder or even
used bad language. Yet one of these
papers compares the incident to the
Brownsville affair and practically de-
mands that the whole garrison at the fort
be indicted, etc, and would attach ma
tional importance to the matter. Why,
there was more disorder in Washing
ton on the night OF July Fourth than
has occurred in Alexandria county for
a year, yet the Washington papers make
bare mention of little things like these.
