The highway robbery of the Rich mond Lssce company messengers. with a pay roll of s1600 at Alton, is of such close character as was the robbery of DanAl McG. Newall with his pay roll of S1200 at Bradford that there is ground for belief that both crimes were committed by the same persons. In the latter case the highwaymen are known by their speech and appearance 10 have been Italians; the Alton rob bers are believed to be of the same nationality, and perhaps the same in dividuals. In both cases there was the belief that the robbers made their es- cape by automobile. but the officers giving careful investigation do not share in that belief, but are of the opinion that they are residents of this section of Rhode Island, thorough ly acquainted with the time of arrival of cash for payment of the mills and quarries.
 When Mir Newell was held up and robbed he had a small boy in the car rige and was unarmed but in the oth- CT case, Hines and Novthrup. the AL ton mill messengers were armed, but made no attempt to defend the cash in their custody. The highwaymen were too quick for the unsuspecting messengers, got the drop first and left the messengers nerveless as they took to the woods with the booty.
 It is believed that the hghwaymen spent a part of the night before the robbery in the Alton schoolhouse. so as to me near the place ot attack in the early morning. for there is unmis- takable evidence that the schoolhouse was occupied that night Fire had been built in the stove and the tracks on the floor and general confusion in the room showed traces of intrusion.
 A note was found of the phonetic spelling type, evidently written by an Italian. but which cannot be decipher- ed. This note and a vague description of the highWaymen are the only clues in the possession of the sheriff and his deputies.
 The Handel and Haydn society of Boston gave the Messiah for the one hundred and twenty sixth time Sun day night.

Texas and Oklahoma Report
Favorable Conditions.

The cotton croo duplicated its perform
ance of the prryio-~ week aud made
progress west NJ iLc river and lost
ground east Of the river during last
week.
Western progress was at least bal
anccd by eastern deterioration, and prob,
ably outwcighcd.
IN somc parts Of the section east OF
the river progress was made, due to the
scattered nature OF the ruins which have
VISITED that section during the last three
weeks. In large portions OF states near
est the Mississippi river the preciplta'
ton has not been excessive, and IN these
districts the crop made good advance.
But the deteriorations in the portions or
these states where rainfall was too
heavy added to the almost solid dete'
ri0ration farther east overbalanced the
gains made in the good sections and
caused a general deterioration on the
whole. The plant in this section IS
generally gone too much to weed; IS
sappy and tender and poorly prepared
to withstand the dry weather CuItiva-
ton has been arrested and fields are full
OF grass and weeds, many acres having
been abandoned or this account.
West of the river progress was excel
lent, especially in Oklahoma and Texas,
where the splendid conditions OF the last
fortnight were maintained.
Complaints of boil weevil are rather
few, with very little damage so far.
Of grass worm and kindred
were made from some sections,
considerable damage from this source
having been reported from the East.

NAVY MUST
EXCEL GERMAN
WINSTON CHURCHILL EXPLAINS
ADMIRALTY PROGRAM.
FOUR BATTlESHlPS A YEAR
Effect of German Naval Law Would Be
to Keep Four-ffths of Entire GeE.
man Navy in Readiness for
Instant War.

London.-lntroducing a supplementary
naval appropriation bill in the house Of
commons, Winston Spencer Churchill
first lord of the admiralty, declared the
effect of the new German naval law
would be to maintain nearly four-ffths
of the kaiser's entire navy in permanent
commission, ready for instant war.
"Such preparation" said Mr.. Churchill,
lis remarkable, and, as far as | am
aware, finds nc example in the previous
practice of modern naval powers"
The British shipbuilding program, Mr..
Churchill then announced, provided for
five battleships to be constructed next
year and four battleships for each of the
following four years.
Naming the ultimate scale of the Ger
man fleet, the first lord of the admiralty
declared it would be Extremely formid-
able" and the only way to meet it, he
said, is 'by cool, steady and methodical
preparation over successive years."
Mr.. Churchill pointed out that the in
creased fighting power of Germany in
volved reorganization of the British
yhJAoes, that a necessary margin of safety
might be maintained. He announced that
he intended to raise the number of bat
tleships in full commission from twenty.
eight to thirty-three by 1913. From 1914
onward Great Britain will have five bat
tleship squadrons, totaling forty-one
ships, and four squadrons will be in full
commission. Thus Great Britain will
have thirty-three battleships, against
Germany's twentynine. This might not
be considered a very satisfactory propo-
%sition, Mr.. Churchill said, but having,
in regard to the character of the differ
ent vessels, the admiralty was of the
opinion that thirty-three battleships
would be adequate for the needs Of

YOUNG WOMAN
BRUTALLY BEATEN
ESSIE CARTER, DAWSON, GA.,' AT
POINT OF DEATH.
SEVERAL MEN IMPLICATED
Little Probability Victim Will Recover,
and Three Men Said to Have Done
Whipping May Face Trial
for Murder.

Macon. Ga.-Essie Carter, the young
white girl who was whipped at Dawson
Ga, by a party of prominent men, head
ed by W. S. Dozier, clerk of the superior
court, is at the point of death in a hos
pital here. The probability is that the
men who whipped her eventually will
be tried for murder, as the attending
physicians say the case is almost hope
less. There is scarcely an inch of flesh
from her neck down that is not cut and
discolored, and she cannot bear the touch
Of either clothing or bandages.
Essie Carter was whipped because w,
s.. Dozier's 20-year-old son was infatuated
with her and she refused to swear that
she would never meet the young man
again. Her story reads like the records
of u Russian prison where the knout
is used on women as well as on men.
II love Vogt Dozier," she said, "and
he loved me. Because he would not
give me up, though | urged him to do
so to please his father, the latter and
his friends whipped me almost to death.
Dozer and his friends carried me off in
an automobile to a grove near Dawson.
When they got me there they stripped
me to the skin and, while four men held
me, Dozier dashed me with a buggy whip.
A negro chauffeur held the lantern so
that he could see to whip me-"
When the man who did the flogging
stopped to rest, saying as he did so that
he was not yet satisfied, the woman's
back was a mass of bruises and she was
screaming with pain. Friends sent for
Drs. Gardner and Crumbley, and when
they arrived they found her nearer dead
than aliv, and almost clicked from the
gag, which had been made from her dress
when she was stripped for the flogging.
She was sent to Macon for treatment.
