Assassin Still at Large.

Roanoke, Va, July 26.-Despite a
rigid search of the country about Ridge
WY. no trace has been found of the
assassin who killed former Mayor
Bouscman by exploding a stick oil
dynamite under him Sunday night.
Dogs lave failed to pick up the trail
and the killing is complete mystery
to the authorities.
BY the finding of number of sticks
of dynamite hidden in the woods near
the BouSeman home it was finally de-
tcrnincd that the bomb used was
dynamite.
One of the sticks found was capped
and had 4 fuse attached. 1t was SIM
liar to the explosive used in the coal
fields 40 miles from Ridgeway. 1t is
believed that the murderer hid in a
clump of bushes in the rear Of the
house until he saw Bouseman sit down
in the hammock. Then he probably
lit the fuse and crept down along the
house to the corner where his move
mcnts were Shroudcd by a large bloom

The strike on the Grand Trunk.

Toronto, Ont, July 26.-President
Lee, of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, and President A. P. Garrett
son, of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, are expected to reach here to-
day to confer with Vice-Presidents
Berry and Murdoch, who have been di-
recting the strike on the Grand Trunk.
1t is understood that the conference
will be to determine what further means
shall be taken to tie up the railroad.
The fact that the conference is held
here instead OF Montreal, where are the
main offices of the railroad, is taken to
indicate that lis not to be of a pacific
nature. Just what further methods are
to be pursued in fighting the company
have not been made public, but it is
understood the question of union men
on other roads refusing to handle
freight turned over by the non-union
employees OF the Grand Trunk will be
considered.
1t is generally accepted by both sides
that there will be no arbitration. The
company claims that it has men enough
to operate its road if they are protected
and the strikers say they will arbitrate
only if P. H. Morrisey and E. E. Clark
are named on the board.

New York, July 26.-Because he
went too slowly John Arthur Johnson,
heavyweight champion OF the world,
found himself in Jefferson Market
Court to-day. 1t was new experience

it is that he cannot get an auto that will

He was riding through Herald Square
yesterday when arrested. According
to the policeman, he had halted his
machine so far out from the curb that
he was interfering with traffic. +"
Arraigned before the desk Johnson
looked mournful when told that he
could go free on putting up 500 cash
bail. He shook his head as he ex,
tracted from his pocket a wad big
enough to "choke prize bull. He
dug through wrapper after wrapper OF
81 900 and $500 denominations. Final
ly he asked the lieutenant if he
couldn't raise the ante" Before this
was done, however, he discovered a
solitary hundred dollar bill in the mid
die OF the wad and was turned loose.

THE BOUSMAN ASSASSINATION.

So far there is no clue to the assassi.
nation of Mayor Bousman, of Ridge
way, Henry county, on Sunday night,
an account Of which was published in
yesterdays Gazette.
The only motive assigned for the
assassination is that Of revenge by ne
groes, growing out Of an unfortunate
killing of young colored man by a
Ridgeway policeman through mis-
take about two months ago. 1t was
charged by negro witnesses Of the af-
fair that Bousman ordered the officers
TO shoot at the negro, and he, with two
of the officers, had been recently in
dicted for the shooting.
This alleged motive, which is gen
orally accepted as the correct one, is
all the more deplorable and disturbing
to the community because 1t marks a
new method of revenge by negroes for
real or fancied wrongs. 1t is not re-
called there that there has been any
previous instance in Virginia of assas-
sinatiun by the use of dynamite or SIM
liar explosive.
While returning from his farm in
the county to the town week ago
some unknown person hurled an ex-
ploslve at Mr.. Bousman as he was rid
ing past wooded section. He told his
friends OF the occurrence, but they
treated the matter as joke, and it
was not given serious thought until
Yesterday.

LEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 2G.

In AN address at Topeka, Kansas,
last night United States Senator JOS. L..
Bristow declared that United States
Senator Aldrich forced an increase Ill
tbe'cotton tariff schedules when the cot
ton manufacturers in this country were
not asking for it. Senator Bristow
charged that the increases were made
for the purpose of booming the stock
market, and continuing, said:
It is interesting to know why Mr..
Aldrich insisted upon increased COTTON
dutias when the millowners and manu-
facturers testified in the hearings before
the Ways and means committee that
thew we're not needed. But an cxaml-
nation OF the stock issues OF the United
States for the year 1908 furnishes the
reason. These increases were not made
for the protection of any legitimate
manufacturing enterprises IN the
United States, but to boom the stock
market. Last year there were issued
$4,000, 900 additional Gotten and
wooden stocks. 1914 100000 that had
been previously authorized, but not IS
sued and S26,OOO,000 OF new stocks:
How much OF this stock represented
actual investment, am not advised,
but under the impression that these
increased duties on cotton goods ana
the maintenance Of the excessive dnty
ON woolens would give at least a tenn
norary impetus to the business these
stocks found market. So, these IN
creases, therefore, driven through by
Mr.. Aldrich, were in the interests OF
the stock gamblers and spectators and
not in the interests Of legitimate manu-
featuring enterprises. The duty on
cotton goods valued at more than seven
cents per square yard was increased on
AN average Of 90 to % per cent in the
face Of the testimony of =. P. Lippitt,
representative of the Cotton Manufac-
turers' Association OF New England,
before the ways and means committee,
that the cotton manufacturers did not
want any increased schedule. All they
asked was that the duties be not re-
duced. but remain the same.

CUT HIS WIEE'S THROAT AND

DR.. William Burnley, who recently
went to Columbus, O., from Richmond,
Va, cut his wife's throat, last night
and then slashed his own throat, in
ilicting injuries that probably will prove
fatal in both cases. Burnley's tragic
act is attributed to insanity from the
extreme heat. Mrs. Burnley was
scarcely able to stagger to the door OF

lapsing. In the meantime Burnley
used the same weapon, 4 razor, on
himself. He was found bleeding to
death in the bathroom. The Burnlcys
went to Columbus about two months
ago from Richmond. They have two
children, both girls. Mrs. Burnley, it
is said, will die and Burnley is in a
precarious condition.
