it was stopped at length by an accumu-

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The alleged election frauds in Nor
folk, unearthed by the special COM
mittee of the State democratic central
committee investigating the Second
district democratic primary, we're yes
terday taken cognizance OF by the
Corporation Court, in Norfolk when
Judge Hanckel told the grand jury it
was its duty to also investigate the
charges OF corruption. The grand jury
will get to the matter in two weeks.
Most of the apparent frauds in the
city have to do with the election in
the Second precinct OF the Second ward,
where the probe OF the investigating
committee was applied deepest.
The Court also instructed the grand
Jury as to the failure OF William A.
Young and H. L. Maynard, candidates
for the democratic nomination for
Congress in the primary election, to
file statements OF their campaign
expenses, as is required by law. The
Judge ruled that the grand jury can
take no action in the case OF Maynard,
as his home is in Portsmouth. He in
structed that the only procedure in
the case OF acandidate failing to file his
statement is on motion by the Com
monwealth TO collect the maximum fine
of $4,000. Should it be proven that
the candidate is subject TO the fine, then
its payment would be ordered, but
should the candidate be without mean:
to pay it, no further action in such case
is provided.
The primary investigating committee
met behind closed doors yesterday tc
formulate the report which it will pre-.
sent to the State Central Committee
II is believed more confidently than
ever that the committee will declare
the election null and void.
The citizens counsel in the investl-
CATION fled a lengthy brief before the
committee, in which they not only cal
for a new primary, but urge the eiml
nation OF both Young and Maynard
from it on the ground that neither OF
them is fit candidate.
Persons well informed on Second dis
trict affairs predict that the following
will be the outcome OF the investigation
into fraud perpetrated during the
Ausust democratic congressional pri.
mary in which w. A. Young got Al
votes more than his opponent, Congress
man Harry L. Maynard according ts
the face OF the returns:
A new primary, restricted to Young
and Maynard, will be ordered.
Maynard will withdraw soon after
order is promulgated, leaving the field tC
Young.
The primary will then be declared off
Young getting the certificate.

The Trouble at West Point.

West Point, n. Y, Oct Al
though freed after nine days of con-
inement and arrest for silencing'
Capt. Rufus Longan, the one question
that agitated the West Point cadet
corps today was whether they or the
military officers Of the academy have
won victory.
Following the arrest of the corps for
the silence" every cadet positively re-
fused to divulge to the court of inquiry
the reasons or the names of those who
instigated the episode. This put the
entire cadet corps in practically state
OF insubordnation.
While the freeing of the cadets from
arrest looks like a victory for them, it
will not be definitely known until the
court OF inquiry makes its report
whether or not such is the case. Should
the court have succeeded i'll discover
ing who the instigators were, and
should it ask that severe punishment
be inflicted on them, the cadets admit
they will come out the worse, in the en-
counter. This will not be known for
several days yet, as the court has not
summed up the evidence it secured.
The freeing Of the cadets from arrest
came last night. Orders were issued
for every member of the corps to as
semble in the gymnasium. Once all
there, the doors were locked, and Gen
eral Barry, in full uniform and sur
rounded by his staff, gave the cadets a
heart to heart talk on military disci-
pline. Then they were freed. The
cadets at once gathered on the campus
and cheered for ten minutes until they
happened to remember that the find
ing OF the court Of inquiry might still
mean severe punishment for a score or
more Of them, when the cheering
ceased.
Following the freeing OF the cadets,
the coaches at once began work to whip
the football squad into shape. The
scTape of the cadets has put the team
back nearly two weeks in its practice
and prospects for a good showing this
season are considered dubious.

HALsTEAD INDICTED.

Griffin Halstead, son Of the famous
journalist, the late Murat Halstead, and
whose well-known brokerage firm fail
ed January II last, was indicted by the
federal grand jury in Washington yes
terday on charges of embezzlement,
false pretenses and larceny.
Two indictments we're returned. One
deals with Halstead's alleged wrongful
conversion to his own use of two notes
aggrsgating S., 800 given to him by
John II. Howell, customer, and the
alleged embczzlement Of S4, 800 in cash
which Howell claims never was credited
to his account.
Another charge embraced il the
second Indictment relates to All alleged
similar transaction with Orinda f..
Yerkes in which Halstead is alleged to
have Incorporated 200 shares OF
United States steel perferred stock
certificates, valued at $25, 200 and bonds
OF Florida corporation OF the market
value of 1850.
About two weeks after the suspen-
sion Of the brokerage firm OF Griffin,
Halstead & Co. a complaint was made
to the district attorney by Hubert
Kleinpeter, chauffeur for Mrs. Mark
Hanna, that Halstead had wrongfuily
withheld 100 shares of New York, On
tario and Western Railway stock. A
warrant for the arrest of Halstead was
issued on January 80 and he was taken
into court. He denied having wrong
fully used the stock in question and
friends tried in vain to effect a settle
ment OF the case.
The railway stock owned by Klein
peter represented the savings Of life
time. His story to the district attor-
ney occasioned so much sympathy that
statement was made public at the
time concerning the loss of Kleinpeter,
who has a wife and three small chill
dren.
Halstead's total Indebtedness was es-
timated by his creditors to be 500, 900.
He was declared a bankrupt.

RIOOdY Eeud.

Winter, Wis, Oct. 4.-With armed
deputies guarding Winter and scores
of woodsmen surrounding the log
cabin OF John Deitz, the outlaw OF
Cameron Dam, fighting and possible
bloodshed was expected today in the
long standing feud between the author
tiles and Deitz.
Myra Deitz, the 29-year-old daughter
Of the outlaw, is at the point of death
in hospital at Ashland, as result OF
a gunshot wound inflicted by deputies
when the girl and two of her brothers
we're ambushed last Saturday. One OF
the brothers is held in the Winter jail
wounded. The other escaped and joined
his father at the cabin.
Following the ambush Deitz sent
word to Winter that he would visit the
town and slay every man responsible
for the shooting, but the warfare is be-
ing pushed into his territory.

RnNDs OLE CITIES.

Secretary MacVeagh has made a
further Interpretation Of the emergency
currency law. This decision relates to
bonds of cities which national banks
might wish to use as the basis for issue
of emergency currency during financial
stringency.
Mr.. MacVeagh holds that the as
sesSed value upon which taxes are
levied is the value referred to in the
law, except in cases where a state law
provides for an assessment at one value
and taxation at a lesser rate. In the
latter instance the treasury will take
the higher rate as the basis. Water
bonds OF city, or the bonds of self
sustaining municipal enterprise are ac-
ceptable TO the treasury.

TUESDAY EVENING, OCT. 4
From 1000 to 5000 assistant post

FROM 1000 to 5000 assistant post
masters employed in money order post
Offices have been placed under the clas-
sified service rules by an order OF the
president signed last week. AT the
same time it was made known officially
that on the recommendation OF Post
master General Hitchcock the presi-
dent would ask Congress for legislation
to classify all OF the second and third
class postmasters. Mr.. Hitchcock IS
understood to be ambitious 10 make
the department self-supporting and to
this end wants postmasters TO serve
during good behavior and not to be
changed for merely political reasons adj
yanced by congressman. There are
l .2SO second-class and 1860 third-class
postoffices. The present order will al
feet all those large cities where assist
ant postmasters have formed an impor-
tant part OF the local party patronage
The president and postmaster general
evidently fear that the democrats VIII
soon come into power so they want to
retain as many republicans in Office as
possible.

NEGRO Rurned at the stake,

Mobile, Ala, Oct. An infurated
mob OF four hundred men took Rush
Withers, negro, from the Jail at
Andalusia, Ala, today and burned him
at the stake. The negro had assaulted
Mrs. Hiram Stuckey OF Andalusia.
Withers had been "trusty" in the
Henderson convict camp and recently
had been allowed 10 go about as he
pleased, though in the past he had a
bad record. He did not return TO the
camp at the usual hour last evening
and this aroused some suspicion. De-
puties were starting out to look for him
when the news OF the attack upon Mrs.
Stuckey spread rapidly through the
community. 1t is alleged that the
negro lay in wait for the woman and
attacked her brutally. AS soon as the
alarm was given, the officers who had
been on the lookout for Withers sur
rounded him and succeeded in placing
him in jail before mob was formed
When the details OF the regro's at
tack upon Mrs. Stuckey were learned
and it became known that she VAS in
serious condition, a crowd gathered
about the Jail and demanded the
prisoner. At first the jailers held the
mob at bay and for time it appeared
that the crowd would disperse. Relatives
and friends OF Mrs. Stuckey, however,
formed committee which early today
waited on the Jailer and by means Of
threats, which probably would have
been carried out swiftly if there had
been the least delay, obtained the
prisoner. The negro was dragged from
the jail, half frightened to death and
pleading for mercy He received rough
treatment, however, and there is some
doubt whether he was conscious when
bound to the stake. Pieces OF pine and
logs OF wood were piled about his feet
and the torch was applied by the leader
Of the mob whose indemnity is being
concealed The victim was quickly
burned to death and his body was re-
d. ed TO ashes.

WILL BOLT sTIMsON.

Charles II. Young, president OF the
Republican Club in 1907 and 1908, a
model OF party regularity since he
entered politics in 1887, and con-
sistent supporter OF President Taft
and Gov. Hughes, resigned from the
Republican Club yesterday and an
nounced his intention to support John
A. Dix and the democratic state ticket
of New York. Mr.. Young has made
up his mind that if Henry l.. Stimson
is elected governor, Theodore Roose-
welt will be nominated for president
in 1912. And if that man ever be-
comes president again." said Mr..
Young, well never get him out OF
the White House. He is the most
dangerous man in the history OF the
republic, the grayest menace to liberty,
the most alarming figure who has
risen in world politics since the

Running Down DynamIters.

San Francisco, Oct. 4.-The police Of
San Francisco are almost positive that
the three men giving the names OF
Leonard, Morris and Bryson, who pur-
chased 500 pounds OF dynamite from
the Giant Powder Plant at Oakland on
September "a are responsible for the
dynamite outrage last Saturday at Los
Angeles, including the blowing up OF
the Los Angeles Times.
Attorney Earl Rogers and Detective
William Burns, who are here investi-
eating the clew, learned today that the
three men in question anchored a
launch at Sausalito from September Il
to %, and that on the night Of Septem-
Der % they gave the vessel new coat
OF paint. On September % the detec-
tives learned, the three men went to an
aluminium goods store in San Francisco
and purchased two sets OF name plates
bearing the name Peerless. " The
next day the three men in the launch,
with the name Peerless" very clear
and distinct on the side of the launch,
appeared at the Giant Powder Com
pany's plant and purchased 800 pounds
OF dynamite.
Buras and Rogers are both convinced
that on the night of September "A the
three men again changed the name OF
the vessel and possibly painted it over
in order to throw the police off the
scent No launch going under the
name Peerless" is known on the bay,
and the authorities are now working on
the theory that the missing launch is
still in this vicinity under another
mama

AEROPLANE TO SUPPLANT
BATTLESHIP.

The coast defense vessel will be re-
placed by the aeroplane within very
short time 10 the opinion Of Gen. Mel
son A. Miles. The very fact that an
up-to-date flyer, fully equipped, can he
constructed for the smallest fraction OF
the cost OF warship, will be an ex-
ceIIent reason for the change, in the
opinion of the former head Of the
army.
when aeroplanes can fly out to sea-
drop explosives on hostile ships and re-
turn uninjured, the ships will keep
their distance" said the general in
Denver yesterday. Already we are
reckoning on the aeroplane in war, and
few of our people realize what an inn
portant adjunct it is. The day is not
distant when coast defense craft will be
unnecessary and when the aeroplane
and the harbor defenses will be sutii-
cient.
