I4HE Dash were very few white peo-
- pie living outside the cities and
towns, the farms being tenanted and
worked by the colored people.
In a beautiful valley, nesting at the
foot OF a range OF low, wooded hills, there
was an old "wohn-out" plantation, to
quote the people Of that district And on
the plantation, surrounded by great
moss draped trees, was an old-time colon
ial mansion, long dropping TO decay. Not
''senee de wah" had II been occupied by
white people. for its master lost his life
for the lost cause and his children and
their children, scattered to the far ends Of
the earth, and had sold off the property
for a mere song. An old man had bought
It and In turn had cut in into small par
cells. renting them out TO the colored farm
ers OF the vicinity.
But for years the place had gone 10
weeds. for somehow the story had got in
circulation that the place was ''hanted."
And not a colored man in all the county
could have been hired at any sum to go to
that old place to till It's WORKOUT soil.
Many were the strange stories told about
the doings OF the "hants' in "tha' ole
mansion what done belonged to Marse
Dudley befo' de wah." And every one In
the community feared to pass the place
at night and even gave 1t a wide berth
by day. TITS wo'se den g grave ya'd." one
old neighboring darby had declared And
he thought he spoke the truth. Indeed,
those living within a few miles OF the
place lived in constant dread of stray
''spook" coming to do them harm. And
doors and windows were securely fastened
at night 10 keep the evil spirits out.
One evening towards dusk a couple OF
boys from an adjoining county might have
been seen walking briskly along the eoun-
Try road. following the borders of a fine
river They carried shOtguns and game
bags and were dressed In the huntsman's
, gsrb. One was Bert Jones. ls years OF
age. The other was Arthur spellman.

LAUNCH IS SUNK
BY BIG STEAMER
Accident at Toledo, O., Costs
Lives Of Seven Men.

Toledo. O., Sept. 3.-seven men
were drowned in the Maumee river
when the thirty-fiye-foot launch Memo,
owned by Michael Mayer, was struck
by the 5oo-foot freighter, Phillip
Minch, inbound for the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton docks. The
drowned are:
Harry Batch, city councilman;
James Wisler, superintendent of wa
terworks; Thomas Purcell, master
mechanic at the waterworks plant;
Fred Shane, secretary Of Service Di-
rector Cowell; William Blatt, water
works inspector; William Carroll,
bookkeeper at waterworks; Rudolph
Yunker.
The party was bound for Kelley's
island, where they expected to do
some bass fishing over the Labor day
holiday. With the exception of Mich
ael Mayer, owner Of the launch, all
were drowned. Mayer was saved by
members of the crew of the Minch.
None of the bodies have been recov-
cred.
Captain Cummings of the Minch
says that the wheelman was throwing
the searchlight across the river chan
mel, looking for channel stakes, when
they first espied the launch, which
he thought was mile and a half dis
tant. The launch was then $50 feet
out of the course of the channel to the
westward.
The steamer blew the danger sig
nails. but before the launch could
change its course the freighter
crashed into the small boat, capsizing
it and throwing the occupants into the
water.

WILL AID THE MOVEMENT

Minnesota Senator Declares That the
"InsuIt to the People of Arizona
Will React on the Opponents Of the
Recall and Will Do Much to Secure
Its Adoption Throughout the coun.
try"
San Francisco, Sept. 6.-The action
of President Taft on the Arizona state
hood bill, eliminating the recall of the
judiciary, was denounced as an at
tempt at the bribery of the people by
Senator Clapp of Minnesota at ban
quet given by the Direct Legislation
league.
What shall we say of a policy to
force an electorate to foreswear it's
convictions as the price of admission
to the Union?" he said. ut savors of
the dark ages. 1t is an attempt at the
bribery of the people. There are two
cases of bribery now being investigat-
ed by the senate, yet in the face of
that, there is an attempt to bribe a
whole people. The insult to the peo-
pie of Arizona will react on the op-
ponents of the recall finally and will
do much to further the recall of the
judiciary throughout the United
States.
"Last Stand Of interests"
"The fight against the recall of the
Judiciary is the last stand of the spe.
cial interests
Senator Clapp also attacked the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law. advocated
women's suffrage and outlined the
benefits to be derived from the pas

Chiasso, Switzerland, Sept. 6.-Since
the beginning of the present year the

Error and superstition are causing

Cordova, Alaska, Aug. 31.-In talk
to a number Of prominent citizens
Secretary Of the Interior Fisher de-
clared that, in his opinion, the coal of
Alaska should not. be turned over to

themselves, he said. One contem-

lands to private individuals under

ROADS REJECT
MEMS DEMANDS
Hartman Lines Refuse to Recog-
nize New Federation.
SITUATION IS VERY CRAVE

Vice President kruttschnitt Declares
Recognition Of Federation Would
Hamper Company In Performing Its
Duty to the PubIic-Union Leaders
Considering Strike Vote and DeveI-
opments May Come Soon.
San Francisco, Sept. 2.-The South
ern Pacific Railroad company, through
Julius Kruttschnitt, vice president and
director of maintenance and operation
of the Hartman lines, rejected a de-
mand for recognition of the fedora
tion of shop employees, comprising five
shop crafts unions and $4,000 men.
That such recognition, with it's i'm
plications, would hamper the company
in performing its duty to the public
was the position taken by it's officials.
Union leaders asked for it on
grounds of economy and expedition
and, admittedly, because of feeling
that greater centralization of capital
and power made CORRESPONDING cen
tralization among unions desirable
The unions involved had asked their
general officers for permission to
strike in the event Of the refusal to
grant recognition of the federation.
A conference lasting three hours
and twenty minutes was terminated
by Mr.. Kruttschnitt's final answer and
following it the union Representatives,
sober faced, went into session by
themselves to consider the strike vote,
which they may accept as binding or
may reject, refusing to sanction a
strike.
President Kline, it was learned, pre-
sented the case for the unions and
replied to questions put to him by the
railroad officials, who acted without a
formal spokesman during the discus
sion. IL
Mr.. Kline based hisSpleading on eco
nomic grounds and ons Of the officials
said s'held his own in the questioning
from his angle of the case. Once OF
twice the discussion became lively
but it never ranged beyond cool
headed argument.
The railroad officials in their turr
took the position-already publicly an
nounced by Mr.. Kruttschnitt-that the
federation's power and demands woult
render it impossible for them to per
form the duties and carry the respon
sibilities which are imposed upoI
them by law and which make them
in the words of Mr.. Kruttschnitt
''quasi-public officials"

STATE BEGINS
ITS REbUTTAL
Attacks Testimony Given by
Henry c. Beattie.
SUSTAIN COUSINS STORY

Ing to corroborate That Of Paul
seattIe, the Communicating Star
Witness-Defendant's Long Ordeal
on the Stand Ended.
Chesterfield, Va. Sept. 6.-After
asking Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., indict.
ed for wife murder, one question as
to how he could account for the trans
lation of the same shotgun from the
hands of Paul Beattie, his cousin, on
Saturday night, to the hands of the
alleged highwayman on the following
Tuesday night, the prosecution ended
its cross-examination of the prisoner.
The accused denied that he knew his
cousin Paul had gun on the Satur-
day night in question or that he was
with him during that week.
The commonwealth thereupon be-
gan its attack upon the prisoners
story. The rebuttal was practically
an attempt to corroborate Paul Beat
tie as to his alleged meeting with
Henry on Thursday night to arrange
for the delivery of a shotgun to his
cousin on the Saturday following.
Several witnesses testified that they
saw the two cousins together on
Thursday, and Mrs. e. ]. Houchens,
mother-in-law of Paul, stated that
Henry brought Paul home in a ma
chine that same evening.
A second point taken up by the com.
monwealtn was an assault on E. H.
Neblitt's testimony that Paul had a
shotgun on the bridge where he
worked on Sunday following the night
of the alleged transfer of the gun to
Henry. Witnesses sustained Paul that
he had no gun at the bridge that day
and one man said he was there during
the time of Neblitt's visit and saw no
gun.
