MANIAC MURDERS
 INNOCENT BOY

New York, January 12.-A black beard ed maniac today fired five shots into a crowd of Harlem school boys who had been taunting him. Robert Lomas, [ years old, was shot through the heart and died instantly Arthur Shiviey, also years old, was shot through the left lung and taken to hospital, critically wounded. a
 The man, whom none of the youngsters can describe accurately, shambled off into the bushes surrounding the boys playgrounds and was soon lost to sight. One hundred and fifty policemen and a posse of citizens are hunting for him. The woods nearby are encircled tonight by police, the Harlem river is picketed and the search is slowly tightening its line on the northern extremity of Manhat- tan Island but in the meantime the mur- derer may have slipped into a downtown subway train and escaped

TIRESOME CAUCUS
 OF REPUBLICANS

Washington, January 12.-(SpecialD The snap and fire that from time inn memorial has characterized a republi- can caucus was wholly lacking in to- nights meeting of the republicans of the Senate and House. A bare ma ,jority was present and after going through the, forms of re-electing the republican congressional committee the meeting adjourned. There was noth- ing to bring forth a hand clap of ap- plause.
 The members acted as if they had been brought together to eulogize one of tn cir departed colleagues. Represen- tative Tawney had prepared a little programme of harmony remarks. Sen ator Bradley of Kentucky was down for one of his famous stump speeches and Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-, shire was to dwell upon the necessity of a united front.
 When the committee had completed it's business the members looked around solemn like, no one said anything, and Representative Douglas of Ohio made a motion to adjourn. which was car ried without q word of protest. Then the members walked out and went to bed.

MARENGO COUNTY
 IS STIRRED UP

Montgomery, January 12- A report comes from Marengo county that the re- lations between the whites and blacks are strained there again because of sev- eral incendiary fires which the whites charge to the blacks.
 This is the section where there was so much excitement in December, due to the murder of Algernon Lewis, young white man.
 In two weeks four serious fires have occurred, including the Southern railway depot at Lawson and the large store of King Pharr at Catherine. Residences of white persons are guarded each night and if the incendiaries are captured there may be trouble to follow.

RURAL DELIVERY
 MAKING PRORESS

Washin gton, January 1z-An increase of 96 per cent in the amount of mail handled on rural delivery routes during the fiscal year ended June 30 last over the fiscal year of 1905 is shown in the annual report of Fourth Assistant Post master General P. V. DeGraw, which was transmitted to the Postmaster General today. Commenting upon the report, Mir. DeGraw said:
 ''The rural delivery has enlarged the amount of mall handled and therefore increased the revenue. This Is true al- though 45 per cent of the bulk of mall on rural routes is second-class matter The increase applies to all classes of matter, especially to letters and postal cards, the latter due to the enormous use of souvenir or picture postal cards ''
 The report shows that during the last year 3678 petitions for rural delivery serv- ice of mail were filed with the depart ment
 During the last fiscal year the total expenditure for rural free delivery was t35, ,661 O34, an increase over the previous year of $1, 1,2s9.095.
 At the dead letter division the receipts of mail matter for thesyea aggregated Il ,s97, S5 pieces, decrease of 1,1E.sH for the preceding 12 months.
 Revenue derived from dead mall mat- ter for the year amounted to $2s.2sA

UNDERWOOD CONFIDENT
 OF PARTYS STRENGTH
Formation of the Committee of Investi- gatIon VIII Give a Test of the Powers of the Opposing
 Forces In Contest.
By wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

washington, January 12--(special,)- There ifs a report tonight that the admin Istration is bringing pressure to bear upon ], Elihu Root of New York to accept one of the places on the joint committee to in- vcstigate Baliinser. It is fully realized that to vindicate Ballinger and besmirch Pinchot Is going to require the best Legal talent available. That Senator Root is the man for the job no one doubts here. By many 1t is considered that he stands at the head of the legal profession in the United States and obviously by his train ing, beginning with Tweed in New York, he is peculiarly fitted to save the face of the administration in it's present pre- dicament.
 It is said that Mir. Root is not anxious to serve. realizing that the case is very difficult, and one that will require more work than he is physically able to under take. It Is being insisted, however, that the republican party Is in such straits that bis services are an absolute neces- sity, and no other republican senator can cope with the evidence against Ballinger in the manner in which he is capable of doing, all of which is true.
 Numerous conferences were held in the House today in the organization, insur- gent and democratic camps. over the House end of the Investigating commit tee. The prime questions seemed to be as to what action the insurgents and friends of Gifford Pinchot would take in the event that the committee named by the organ ization was unsatisfactory in personnel. There are many possibilities in the Eitua- lion to lead to very close votes in the House.
 The democratic leader, MT. Underwood, who has carefully gone over the sftua- ton. believes that the democrats will be able to hold their full strength. Two or three are always under suspicion, but on vote in the committee it is believed that even Representative Fitzgerald of New York will stand by the democrats. Democratic leaders are of the opinion that the organization committee will contain the two democratic members selected by the party. They are equally certain that the other four members will be organiza- ton republicans. thus shutting out the in- surgents entirely.
 If the insurgents and friends of Pinchot are dissatisfied with this committee the democrats are willing to join in and vote for substitute committee which will be satisfactory to the insurgents. Such a committee would be composed of two in- surgents, two democrats and two Cannon ites.
 The selection of such committee would be terrific blow to the House organiza- tion as well as to the White House. It may be questioned, however. whether the Organization is so lacking in political sense and common decency as to bring in l, a committee loaded down with whitewash and unable to get the support of ma 5ority of the House.

 In the case of the negro Green it was testified that he was placed in the buck ing machine and given 27 blows with heavy leather strap, the blood from the cuts on his body running down his legs and leaving his body mass of sores. Mayor Maddox and members of the grand jury testified to seeing the sores on the negros body. some of which were three to four inches in length and an inch in width. This punishment was ad- minstered because the negro had cursed and threatened another convict. Green testified that he was unable to work the following day and for this was strung up to the wall for more than two hours.
 Vining and Cornett introduced evidence tending to show chat the negro was given but eight Ticks. moderate punishment, and that Green had not good reputa- tion.
 Captain Vining is 73 years of age and has served as superintendent of the stockade for 15 years. 3
