Her SECOND
APPEARANCE
IN SALEM
Maud Powell viii Play a Cake
Walk by the Great French
Composer, Claude DubuSSy.

Maud Powell arrived in Salem this
morning from Portland, where she
gave a concert last night at the
Bungalow. She spent a greater part
of the day in walking around the
city and admiring its many beauties.
She was greatly impressed with the
clean appearance of the streets, and
well kept lawns and particularly
with the moss on some of the old
residences of the city.
The Oregonian of today tells us
that, in neat little speech, she in
troduced a novelty to her audience
in the shape of a cake-walk, writ
ten by Debussy for his fve-year-old
daughter, naming it the "Golliwog's
Cakewalk." Owing to the stringent
French copyright law Nine. Powell
has had to wait long for. permission
to transcribe the work for violin
and for this reason it has not been
printed in her program tonight. She
Will however, include it in the
group which follows the Concerto
1t comes somewhat of a shock TO
read that Nine Powell has placed
this piece on her repertoire until
one has heard the art with which
she plays it. Debussy has been
lucky in catching the American
spirit and still more so to have the
Interpretation given in Nine. Pow

Judge Declares Execution of Two Ne.
groes on Legal Day Insult
to Murderers.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. ST do not care to
desecrate the day by ordering these two
brutes hanged on the legal hanging day"
With this unusual declaration from the
bench, Judge Ralph S. Latschaw in the
criminal court here today sentenced George
Reynolds and John Williams negroes,
found guilty last night Of assaulting Mrs.
w. f. Jackson, TO be hanged on Saturday,
February s.
They do not even deserve to be cassed
with the murderer, who must pay the
penalty for his crime with his life," con-
tinued Judge Latschaw. 1T would be an
insult to these men, who had at least a
spark of manhood in their hardened souls
to have such brutes as these put in their
class do not care to desecrate the day
by ordering these two brutes hanged on
the legal hanging day"
The verdict of guilty was read last even
ing after the jury had considered the case
less than six minutes and following Mrs.
Jackson's pathetic relation of her terrible
experiences at the hands of the negroes.
The two negro lawyers who defended the
negroes refused to prepare an appeal for
them and Judge Latschaw sentenced them
to be hanged at the earliest date allowed
by law,

heat.
Mrs. MacMurphy testified that she had
candled all the eggs December 9. They
were sold November 26 and "aIl were
bad, but one or two"

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY LAW
Senator Brown of Nebraska Proposes
Two Vital Amendments.
DEFICITS THAT NEED CURING
Holes Knocked In Law by Federal
Court Decisions TO BE Plugged
by the Passage of Amend
atory Acts.
(From a staff Corresnondent.l J

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-In a bill amending the employers
liability act, introduced today by Senator
Brown. certain defects of the present law
as pointed out by the Department of JUS
tice, and also by the labor unions are
sought to be remedied. The two things
especially sought to be accomplished are
sue either in the district Of the plaintiff
or the defendant or in which the cause
Of action arose or In which a railroad
company may be found; and, second, to
provide for the survival of the cause of
action in the personal representative OF
the injured workman II he should die be-
fore an action is brought. These two
amendments are of the highest Importance
n the opinion of Wade II. Ellis assistant
attorney general, who has approved Mr.
Browns bill, and representatives of labor
unions who have examined 1t. In recent
decisions of lower courts affecting the
present law, one of which held that injured
employees could sue only In the federal
court sitting in the state in which the rail-
road company was Incorporated, and an
other which held that If the employe died
from his injuries before an action was
commenced no claim could be asserted
under the act by his widow or heirs, is
found justification and demand for amend
ments proposed by Senator Brown.
Public Land Matters.
The house committee on public lands to-
day reported favorably the Martin bill ex-
tending the time for certain homestead
entrymen in South Dakota, Wyoming, Colo
rado, North Dakota, Utah and Montana
who are required to establish residence on

ber, 1909, and the first four months of 1910
They will be granted an extension of time
for that purpose until May /, 1910.
The senate committee on commerce today
made a favorable report on Senator
CANDLES bill to extend for a period OF
three years the time for the completion OF
the railroad bridge across the Missouri al

The senate committee on public lands to-
day made favorable report on Senator War

Rumor Of Friction
Among Owners of
the Rock Island
Enormous Blocks of Stock Thrown
on Market and Sharp Break
in Price Follows.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5-Reports Of friction
among the leading interests Of the Rock
Island company rumors that Daniel G.
Reid was to go abroad and that he would
retire from the board Of directors of the
United states Steel corporation caused
breaK of "a points I'm the common stock
Of the road today and a decline Of more
than three points In the preferred stock
The financial district had heard a great
deal auent Rock Island since the sensa-
tonal movement in the stock a fortnight
ago, when 1t jumped from so to 81 and
back again almost in a flash, and the mat
ter is now the subject of investigation by
the Stock exchange authorities. More re-
cent operations In that and allied securi-
ties have not served to allay the alarm
then created.
Todays rumors had it that very serious
differences had broken out among those
who control fthe property and an open
breach was hinted at. These were denied
in responsible quarters but the enormous
volume OF Rock Island stock traded in
$4,000 shares-at steadily decreasing val
ues, caused many misgivings, the more so
since much Of the selling seemed to ema-
nate from Rock Island brokers. Another
factor was the failure of the directors to
act on the preferred stock dividend at
their meeting yesterday, This stock has
paid no dividends in several years.
Reports that Mr.. Reid, one of the most
prominent of the Rock Island group, con
templated An early departure for Europe
were denied at his office but no other de-
tails concerning Mr.. Reid's plans were
vouchsafed.
Disciplinary measures for those respon-
sible for that sensational movement were
the subject Of many rumors today 1t was
the conjecture of the speculative elements
on the floor of the Stock exchange for
liquidation going on was the result of
these measures
