ITALIAN MURDERED.

Sitting in "A natural position on the
stump Of an old tree on the banks o.
the Raritan canal with a fishing roc
in his hands, Joseph Troviati, Of
Raritan, n. j., was found yesterday
morning murdered by an unknown
assassin, who had approached him
from behind and, placing u revolver
close to the back Of his head, fired
two shots, which must have killed him
instantly. His body, which was support
ed by sapIing, had scarcely shifted
its position and the fishing rod was
still held by death grip in his hands.
The murdered man, sitting IN this
position, had been passed in the early
morning by several rowboats, the
occupants of which believed that he
was still fishing or had fallen asleep.
1t was not until s o'clock that two
farm hands passed him on the canal
bank and on failing to get any response
when they asked him what luck he
was having, made an investigation.
The officials have been unable to OBJ
tain any clue to the identity of the
murderer. Troviati is known as hard
working Italian.
There have ;,aen several murders as
the outgrowth of feuds among the
Italians OF RI. tan during recent years.
There has .,.cently been race war
between negroes and a number OF
whites Of Raritan.

The Fight Pictures.

New York, July 11.-Heeding the
world wide clamor against the exhib-
ition OF the moving pictures OF the
Jeffries-Johnson fight, the affiliated
companies controlling the films an
nounced the pictures would be exhibit
ed only in stag" and that children
will be barred from attending. Women
may attend il they see fit,~but they
will be warned in advance OF the
character of the performance. The
Jeffries and Johnson Corporation,
composed of the nine moving picture
concerns which have an interest in the
fight films. has refused large offers
from root gardens and vaudeville
houses in New York to be allowed to
present the pictures.
]. S. Blackton, vice president OF the
American Vitagraph Company, one
ofthe nine companies, declared today
that the men interested in the fight
pictures had all the films recled off
for them yesterday and had selected
one set as the best From this all the
films to be shown throughout the
country will be reproduced.
1--WE decided to show the pictures in
stag theatres" declared Blackton.
The pictures, showing training camp
scenes and all the preliminaries. will
occupy two hours, and We will make
regular performance of them, charging
II and 80 admission
We may even show the pictures to
the self-consituted New York Board oil
Censors before exhibiting them to the
public. We showed the pictures OF the
Johnson-ketchel fight to this board,
which was greatly pleased with them.
There is nothing brutal about the
pictures.
Blackton declined to discuss the
action OF the authorities Of Phila-
delphia, the latest city to bar the
fight films on the ground that they str
up race prejudice.

johnson In New York.

New York, July 11.-Despite the fact
that the Twentieth Century Limited, on
which Jack Johnson came to New
York, was delayed three and a half
hours because of wreck OH the New
York Central just south of Albany, six
teen thousand inhabitants of the Black
Belt" swarmed around the Grand Cen
trail Depot from early morning, waiting
to greet the conqueror OF Jim Jetfries.
One hundred policemen were on duty,
while mounted reserves we're held ready
in the neighboring precincts to disperse
the crowds if the occasion demanded.
The refusal OF Police Commissioner
Baker to allow several brass bands to
lead a procession of 100 automobiles
through the streets, in honor of John
son, angered the negroes, who planned
to hold the automobile parade at all
hazards. While the owners Of garages
and private automobiles refused to ren
machines to negroes for use in the pa
IA !e, two negroes who keep garages
were willing to give their cars away, if
necessary, to have plenty on hand.
Seventy-ive negroes were found who

negro champion.
Chief Inspector Schmittbcrger de-
clared that under no circumstances
would Johnson be allowed to make a
speech from the balcony Of Wilkens'
saloon.
The crowd of negroes continued TO
grow as the morning advanced, and the
police had plenty OF trouble keeping
the darkeys on the move and prevent
ing the stoppage OF traffic. The size OF
the gathering was due in part to the
wide circulation through the black
belt" of circular which read as fol

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING. JULY II.

The dismissal OF Col. j. 5. Mosbl
from the position he had held for some
time as special attorney i'll the Depart
ment of Justice has caused consider
able comment throughout the country
and many dispatches concerning ms
dismissal have been sent out from
Washington, among them the fol-
lowing
Colonel John S. Mosby was dismiss
ed from his position of special attorney
in the Department OF Justice because
he did not stand in with the prcscn,
administration. Some three years ago
Colonel Mosby was detailed to invcstl
gate land frauds in the west, particu
larly Nebraska. His report implicated
in fraudulent acquisition Of govern
ment land men of great promise II
public and business life. 1t is matter
OF common knowledge that C"Ionc
Mosby never has been assigned to work
OF any character by his supcrlorS since
he got after the land thieves" II,
used this term always in speaking o
them. President Roosevelt is under
stood to have backed Colonel MoShy
in his efforts to put prominent men II
Jail, but great wads Of red tape III The
department clogged hopclcssly the
wheels OF justice, which, together with
keeping Mosby off the cases, has pre-
vented successful prosecutions thus lar.
Colonel Mosby uncovered many evil
scented facts which would tend to cast
suspicion on government officials. Ht
has remained mum" rs concerns
these, but now that he has left the ser.
vice he may feel free to tell what he
knows. He has been Offered Slo,oOl
by New York publishing houses to write
his autobiography. His knowledge O
certain things which he discovered il
the brief time he was allowed to probe
the methods used in acquiring portions
of the public domain would enable hin
to write stuff" which would yield him
fully as much.
The suggestion that President Roos"'
Welt backed Col. Mosby in his effort,
to put prominent men in jail Is ahS"'
lutely untrue. The president, rs =
matter OF fact, did send Col. Mosby tt
the west with positive instructions &c
clear the government lands from tn,
control of unlawful cattle -barons,
who had taken possession OF them and
promised that he would back him
but so soon as the colonel commenced
his work which promised to be- v'go'
rously prosecuted he was recalled ano
sent to Mobile. 1t was SOON thereafter as
certainedthat the cattle barons and land
grabbers, through then Senator Dict,
rich and others had gone to President
Roosevelt and told him that il he dlo
not recall Mosby the northwest ut The
next election would vote the democratic
ticket. But Mr.. Roosevelt is constant
" prating about square deal.

was confined who had cut one of their
companions during Il row on an cleo

papers compares the incident to the
Brownsville affair and practically de-
mands that thewhole garrison ut the fort
be indicted, ETC.. and would attach ma

there was more disorder in Washing

has occurred in Alexandria county for
