COUPLE DROWNED IN
CONNECTICUT RIVER.
Brooklyn Youth Seid to Have 3 een
Unfamiliar With Canoe.

East Hampton, Conn. Sept. 2D.-
William Harsen. 10. of Brooklyn. N.
Y and Miss Clara Carlson of Middle
town, who went canoeing on the ttSon-
uecticut river Saturday evening, were
both drowned. The couple left Middle
TraddRm to GO to a grove where here
was a dance. They did not reach that
place. and the canoe evidently was up
set Just below there, for the body of
Hansen was recovered there this aft
ernoon by Char1x Clark, Jr. The
canoe hoeted to Arneld's Station. Eight
r7ll.s down the river. The search is
being continued for Miss Carss s
body.
Hansen, who lived at 674 Ftilton
street Brooklyn, had been staying in
Middle Haddam for two months, and
Miss Carlson was q domestic in the
family of II. A. Bates. Their failure
TO return Saturday led to the supTSosi-
ton that both were az Miss Carl sons
home in Mfadletown. Yesterday, the
inquiry came hero from Middls4Aewn
for Miss Carlson, and then a tragedy
was feared.
II is thought that Hansen wasi not
familiar mith a canoe and the .eraft
was upset by the swAsh Of the New
York boat geirsg down the river.

| TOBACCO GROWERS CAN
| GET NO CHARCOAL
Supply in SuffieId and Windsor Locks
Exhausted.

Suffield, Sept. 20.-The farmers have
exhausted the charcoal supply in this
town during the past few weeks, and
yesterday not a bag of the stuff was
obtainable at any store in this place
or Windsor Locks. Few persons liv-
ing outside of the tobacco growing
district realize the Importance that the
small bag of charcoal has in the cur
ing and coloring of the tobacco leaf,
especially this season, and also in saw
ing the crop from pole sweat. Many
of the farmers started to use charcoal
fires in their sheds as soon as it was
filled with tobacco. One farmer liv-
ing in the Mapleton avenue district
said yesterday that he had used 1000
bags OF charcoal so far this season,
and it was what had really saved his
crop from pole sweat. He also stated
that the tobacco cures down to bet
ter color when the charcoal is used
1t was estimated by several of the to-
bacco growers in town that fully 3d.
600 banks of this charcoal have been
used to save this years crop.
The larger part of the charcoal that
is used here comes from Springfield
Mass, and a short time ago the farm
ers were in sudh need of it that they
had to drive to Springfield late in the
evening and return home with a load
during the early morning hours.

nnony in the case of former State Rep
resentative George A. Barnes, first Sc
lectinan of Sherman for nearly twenty

the corrupt practices act, began late
today. Barnes is charged on three
counts of bribery of voters on septem-
Der 27. 1908.
1t is alleged he gave William Herte-
rick money to vote for him at re-
publican caucus; on the first Monday
in October. the same year, he is alleg-
ed TO have given John Linmark mon
ey for the same purpose. and on Sep
tenGber 27, 1909, it is said he gave An
drew Heterick, Williams father, mon
ey to vote for him in caucus. The chief
witness was William HeterfcIz, who is
to be treid later, charged with perjury,
in that he falsely swore as to his age
when made a voter.
He said on the stand that shortly
before the 1908 caucus Barnes called at
his home one evening and before he
left gave him two one dollar bills i
payment for his trouble in attending
the caucus. Previous to making that
statement, he said he would be %
years old on October 9Th of this year,
and that he had been admitted as a
voter September 22, 1908. On cross
examination witness denied that he
was to get 500 from the ministers of

MORE INDICTMENTS FOR
BURNING OF NEGRO.
Two Policemen Charged With lnvoI-
untary Manslaughter.

Coatesville, Pa. Sept. 20.-The most
important development in the negro
lynching case came today, when war
rants charging two members of the
mob with murder and two policemen
with involuntary nanslaughter were
issued by Judge Butler upon the rec
ommendation of the special grand
jury. The jurors were discharged.
They had been in session for three
weeks, and it had been charged that
they were reluctant to take action.
The men indicted are: Richard S.
Tucker, insurance agent. He was the
first man to enter the hospital on Sun
day night, August 13, when Zack
his bed and burned TO death. Walter
Markwood, mill hand, who it is claim
ed had an obscure part in the lynch
ing. Both were indicted for murder.
Policeman Stanley S. Howe, who was
on guard at the hospital on the night
of the lynching and who it is claimed
did not exert himself to prevent the
crime; also Chief of Police c. e. Um-
stead, who it is claimed failed to per-
form his duty properly. The two po-
licemen were indicted for involuntary
mansiaughter.
The grand jury report censures the
entire police force of Coatesville, Bur-
gss, Shallcross and the BrandyWine
fire company for falling to further the
ends of justice. The citizens of Coates
vile and vicinity having knowledge of
the lynching are condemned because
their attitude throughout the inquiry
hampered the work of investigation.
Judge Butler in discharging the
jury said: THAT more information has
not been obtained is no disgrace to
you. You have shown everyone that
the law mist be supreme. Murder by
a mob differs only from murder by an
individual because the former is more
cowardly."~
The jury reported that 1t found that
the mob had acted like a. holiday one.
and we regret to add that in it were a
few women
In addition to those indicted today.
eight others, three men and five youths,
are already under Indictment in con
nection witt. the lynching.
