With Negroes-Two Officers Shot,
Negro Captured.

Tampa, Fla.-With three negroes dead
as the result of race riots in the neigh
borhOod of Palmetto Sunday, wrath Of
the residents of that section seems to be
assuaged. The sum total of deaths is
three negroes and two white men, with
one white man in the emergency los
pital here with a bullet hole through his
head.
The last of the three negroes impli-
Gated in the murder of two deputies and
the fatal ~wOunding of the third was
lynched at dusk Monday afternoon in
the palmettos on the banks of the Man
aztec river. He had fallen asleep and
when he awoke he was gazing into the
barrels of a dozen rifles and shotguns.
Even then he showed a defiance, and
reached for his rifle. In q second he was
riddled with bullets.
The trouble which has resulted thus
fatally. grew out of q dispute Sunday
between S~tribbling and a negro named
Ruddy. Rudy shot and killed Strib
bling and Sunday night Deputy Sheriff
Mathews was killed by either Ruddy OF
eCe of the Ellis negroes when the Off
Ger, at the head of q posse, had sur

the major part of the city's biggest
wholesale companies, all attention has
been directed to getting their goods into
safety.
Heavy rains, which are reported from
Pittsburg, Northeastern Ohio and West
Virginia, show that the water will con-
tinue to rise for at least IS hours more.
From many points up and down the
river are reported increasing gains in
the volume of water. At Portsmouth,
for instance, the river has passed the
danger mark, and almost half that town
is flooded. At Parkersburg, w. Va, and
Marietta, o., where the Kanawah and
Muskingum rivers enter the Ohio, the
merchants have practically all been
flooded out of their bushes and homes.

MADE DAUGHTERS FRIENDS
Gordon's Speech Works Wonders in
Washington.

Washington.-Col. James Gordon, the
venerable retiring United States sena-
tor from Mississippi, heard a gratifying
piece of news Friday when he was in
formed that his "Iove-one-another" ad-
dress had accomplished al entirely I'm.
looked-for but nevertheless pleasing re.
suit.
Until that speech of amity and frater-
nalism, there was no mingling upon any
occasion of the Daughters of the Con.
federacy and the Daughters of the Grand
Army of the Republic in Washington. 1t
is different now. Ten days ago the vari-
chapters of the Daughters of the
Confederacy opened a bazar, the proceeds
of which are to be devoted to the assist
ance of distressed ex-COnfederate sol
diers and their families. Until Col. Cor.
don's speech in the senate the Daughters
of the Grand Army Of the Republic gave
no support or encouragement to the I'M
dertaking, but since Col. GOrdon's speech
the Grand Army clans have been liberal
patrons of the bazaar, some of them GO
ing so far as to tende their services to-
ward making the enterprise a big man
cial success.

T. C. PLATT IS DEAD
easy BOSS" READING SUNDAY
PAPERS WHEN ATTACKED.
Former Senator From New York
Was Leader of His Party in
State Many Years.

New York.-Thomas Collier Platt, for
formerly United States senator from
New York and for many years a ma
tional figure in Republican politics, died
at 3:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Dr.. Paul Auterbridge, his physician,
said the cause of death was chronic and
acute Bright's disease.
The end was s~tartlingly sudden. An
hour before the senator died his two
sons, Frank and Edward, with their fam
lilies, and his widower son, Harry, with
his daughter, Charlotte, and son, Sher-
man, had left the house, after their usual
Sunday visit. The senator said at that
time he felt very well and thought he
would read the Sunday papers.
Thomas Collier Platt, the "easy boss"
of earlier and brighter days, was for
many years not only the Republican
leader of his state, but a figure in ma
tional politics, shoulder to shoulder with
men of such rank and reputation as the
late Matthew Stanley Quay, of Penn
s%ylvania. Both were men of exceptional
intellectual attainments, and both earned
them, with signal success to party Or
g~anization. Quay died still a power;
Plat outlived his time and felt himself
in late years out of youth with the NOV
ing spirit of events.

Harrisburg, Pa.-Actions in equity for
the cover by the State of at least
$5,O0O,oOO alleged to have been illegally
paid to contractors for the furnishing of
the new State capitol were entered in
the Daughin county court Monday by

sylvania Construction Company, the
State officials having to do with the
awards of the contracts and the APP
prOval of bills in payment, Architect
Joseph NJ. Huston and s~ureties of the

The suits are the outgrowth of the
capitol investigation in 1907 and are en-
tirely separate from the criminal actions
brought over two years ago.
The commonwealth charges that San
derson received over $4,000, 900 for fur
niture and equipment not worth more
than a million and a half, and that the

Commission Has No Power to Compel
Connections With Branch Roads.

Washington.-TWice Monday the SUI
preme court of the United States an
nulled important orders of the interstate
commission because the COM
mission had exceeded its authority.
One of the orders required the North
ern Pacific Railway Company to join
with competing railroads in establishing
Il through route and Joint rates from the
East to Puget Sound points, via Port
land, Ore. The other order required the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western rail
road to grant a physical connection with
the Railway Valley Railway Company
at Summit, N. j.
In the Northern Pacific railway case
the court held that this railroad already
maintained a satisfactory or reason
able" route from the East to Puget
Sound points, and as long as such a route
was in existence, the commission could
not require the road to join in another.
The court took the position that eli
mate, scenery and a desire to visit along
the routes south of the Northern Pa
cific did not make the ~latter's route
unsatisfactory or unreasonable and to
hold otherwise would be to give an ar
,tificial meaning to the words of the
statute.
"The condition in the statute is not to
be trifed with" said Justice Holmes in
announcing the opinion of the court.
In the other decision it was held that
the commission did not nave power to
require a railroad, subject to the inter
state commissions order, to
grant a connection with a branch rail
road, upon complaint of the branch rail
road itself. The court refrained from
deciding what was a branch road, one
of the points in the case.

CHANGE THE
Ii Makes for Health.

A mar tried leaving off meat, pota
toes, coffee, and etc, and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup Of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach a place once in a while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside food
of low nutritive value n takes up
food and drink of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable
of being quickly changed into good,
rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which Il
is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centers.
A few days use of Grape-Nuts will
give n a degree of nervous strength
well worth the trial.

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

If the English sparrow were not such
take care of himself and thrive and
multiply, how our pity would go out
toward him! Especially might we now
allow our generous feelings to flow,
when the department of agriculture
has just issued a farmers bulletin In
which it has nothing really good to
say about this dweller everywhere and
offers various means for getting rid
of him. But the English sparrow needs
no pity, says Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle. He will live by grace
or without it, and we may expect
that, notwithstanding the bulletins, we
shall continue always to have him
with us, hardy, prolific, bold, cunning,
Self-reliant and unWashed. The bull

dyed-in-the-wool criminal among birds.
He attacks, it seems, almost every

preys On his own kin by destroying
their eggs and driving them from gar
dens and parks and has no melOdious
pean to offer after his victories. He
should be treated as vermin, and re-
duced in number, even if he cannot be
exterminated. To be sure, the bulletin
does not offer one forlorn hope. Mr..
Dearborn of the biological survey says
that he ought to be eaten.

100000 MEN GO OUT
GENERAL STRIKE DECLARED
IN PHILADELPHIA.
Cars Are Attacked and Police Use
Their Pistols in Quelling
Disturbance.

Philadelphia. = Encoura ged by mes
sages of sympathy and offers of sympa-
thy from all parts of the country, the
union workers of many trades ceased
work at midnight and inaugurated what
promises to be one of the greatest sym
pathetic strikes in the history of organ
lied labor. The committee of ten say
that at least $4,000 organized workers,
as well as many u~norganized sympathiz-
ers of the street car men, amounting in
all to 100000 men, have ceased work.
Promptly at midnight union orches-
tras playing in the leading hotels and
cafes picked up their Instruments and
started for their homes.
Union cab drivers and chauffeurs also
abandoned their posts, and the hotel
and railroad cab and automobile service
was badly crippled. The drivers of both
taxicab services in the city are members
of a union and refused to take out their
machines after the strike had gone into
effect.
The committee of ten named by the
unions remained in session at their
headquarters all night receiving reports
from the various local unions.
William Drexler was shot and proba-
bly, fatally injured by a policeman who
shot at a crowd that had congregated.
Several cars had Deen stoned by the
crowd, and the police guarding them
fired a volley in the air. One of the bull
lets struck Drexler in the stomach.
All policemen, firemen and specials
who have been on duty since the strike
began received orders to remain at their
posts. The emergency automobiles in
the city hall court yard were increased
in number and measures taken to send
a force of men to any section of the city
at amoment's notice.
