NEGRO WHO MURDERED
ANOTHER WITH An AXE
IS FINALLY CAPTURED
OSCAR SLATER LANDED NEAR
EVERETT YESTERDAY BY
OFFICER PoNSELL.

The negro, Oscar Slater, who mur-
dered Murphy Hayes at Everett some
time ago, has been captured and
lodged in Jail by Officer PonseIl. Great
credit is due Officer Ponsell for the
capture, as, although the murder was
committed on a Saturday night the
body was not found until the follow
ing Monday.
The murder was a most brutal affair,
the coroner's inquest developing the
fact that the murdered man had been
struck on the head with an AK and
five knife wounds were also found on
the body.
Although no definite statement has
been obtained from Slater it is known
there was gambling going on in the
shanty on the night of the murder. 1t
is presumed Hayes won all the money
and in the quarrel that ensued was
murdered as when found all the peck
cts of his clothes were turned inside
out.

Washington, Sept. THE war de-
partment is preparing to dispatch two
more regiments of cavalry to the
Mexican border line. General Wood,
chief of STAG, today was trying to
get in telephone communication with
President Taft to get his approval of
the order. The troopers will be taken

Russell, Wyoming, one regiment from
each post.
Reports to the war department to-
day included urgent request for rein
forcements for the present border
patrol. The war department is con-
sidering a suggestion from military
commanders along the border, that
the United States secures permission
from the Mexican government for the
American troops to pursue into Mex
lean territory bands of Mexican raid
ers who operate on this side of the
line. This step was taken during the
Indian trouble in Arizona, and New

ORDINARY NOTIFIED or
PENSION LAW CHANGES
EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO. SE-
CURE INCREASE FOR NUMBER
OF LOCAL VETERANS.

Ordinary Edwin w. Dart has re-
ceived advice from the pension COM
missioner notifying him of a change
in the pension laws passed this year,
which allows pension of $50 to all
pensioners now drawing; those draw
ing less must, however, make out new
papers and submit proofs as first re-
CURED. If they fail to submit proper
proofs they are left on the disabled
roll and will draw the same pension
as before. Those who are totally blind
are allowed pension of 800 per an
mum.
Glynn county has only two pension
ers on the rolls at present drawing
less than $50 and an effort will be
made to secure the increase for these.
The law was changed in respect to
the filing of new applications which
must be done before November l, in
stead of Is, as heretofore.

MOVEMENT WELL UNDER WAY.
RAILROADS ENTERING BRUINS
WICK ANNOUNCE SHIPMENTS.
WILL BREAK ALL RECORDS
Brunswick is Coming Into Her Own.
Will BE Among the Leading Cotton
Ports on the Atlantic Coast This
Coming Season.

That Brunswick is becoming an i'm
portant cotton port is shown by the
fact that this early in the season there
are two ships in port waiting for cot
ton cargoes. The Belgion of the Ley
land line, and the Navarro of the
Strachan Line, are now here and the
Glenesk of the Strachan Line is due
next Wednesday, all after cotton.
Last season made the biggest cot
ton record in the history of Bruins
wick, this port standing next to Sa-
vannah, but with new railway con-
nections and the Leyland and H2rri-
son lines making Brunswick a port
of call, there is no doubt that the
coming season will break all records
and make this city one of the leading
cotton ports on the Atlantic coast.
Skeptical people were free to state
that the big movement of cotton last
season through the Atlantic ports was
due to the strike in New Orleans. but
three ships in port for cotton before
the season has really opened is the
answer
However, there will be no loss of
time for these ships, as all three rail-
roads entering Brunswick announce
big cotton shipments, and by the end
of the week the movement will be
we'll under way.

Taft Wires Permission.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. president
Taft authorized Major General Leon
ard Wood chief of staff, U. S. A, by
telegraph to despatch at once two
more regiments of cavalry to the
Mexican border. No authorization was
given by the president to have the
troops cross the border. The presf-
dent regards the situation as grave
The president directed the dispatch
of one regiment from Fort Riley,
Kan, and one from bort D. A. Rus
sell, Wyo. 1t was said here today
that while no more troops are to be
sent during the next few days, the
situation has become alarming to the
Washington authorities.
Conditions in both southern and
northern Mexico are regarded as par
ticularly bad at this time, but the
president has been especially CON
cerned about affairs along the Amer
lean border. He did not hesitate when
General Wood called for more troops
to authorize their despatch to the
border. and he told his friends that
the situation apparently was going
from bad to worse.
1t can be stated on authority, how
ever that Intervention will not be
considered by Mr.. Taft except as a
last resort. He has told many of his
advisers that he would not send the
army across the Texas border until
every possible move had been made
afford protection to Americans by
the Madero government.
Mexico City, Sept. For 2 second
time the United States government
will be asked to authorize the trans
portation Of Mexican federal troops
across American territory. The plans
of the war department for a campaign
against the rebels in the state of So
nora involves the movement of large
body of soldiers through Ell Paso to
NogaIes.
President Madero yesterday called
a special session of the senate for
the purpose of securing it's authorize
tion for the Mexican government to
make formal request upon the Wash
ington government for such troops

NO REPUBLICANS IN
ARKANSAS THIS YEAR

New York, Sept There have al
ways been some republicans in Ar
kansas. If there are any left, Demo-
cratic leaders have failed to find
them.
In 1908 the official records show
that there were $4,000 who voted for
Taft, to $1,000 who voted for Bryan.
The reports received at democratic
national headquarters a re doubtful
whether the republicans will get 947
votes, or perhaps 1000
Joseph T. Robinson advises demo-
cratic national headquarters that ne
thinks that the 947 is nearer accurate
than 1000.
and the 1000 VOTE" states Mr..
Robinson, "will be about evenly df-
vided between Taft and the third term
candidate.
The republicans just seem to have
all disappeared and our poll Of the
state shows that Arkansas will give
the greatest democratic vote in her
history"

REUNION HERE NEXT YEAR
MEETINGS HELD YESTERDAY AND
PLANS OUTLINED FOR RAIs-
ING OF FUNDS.

The meeting called at the court
house yesterday afternoon by DR.. W..
B. Burroughs, to devise ways and
means for the entertainment of the
Confederate veterans at the next state
reunion, to be held in Brunswick, was
well attended, the inclement weather
Notwithstanding and much enthusiasm
developed DIR. J. A. Butts was made
temporary chairman and Secretary J
N. Weatherly of the board of trade,
temporary secretary.
Upon motion of w. H. Holmes, DR..
Butts, present member of the legis-
lature, was made chairman of a COM
mittee, to be enlarged later at his
discretion, to solicit funds for the re-
union from members of the legisla-
ture. No other business was transact
ed at this meeting as it was deemed
wise to await the attendance of 9TH
ers, who had signified their interest
before any further appointment of
committees was made.
The meeting was adjourned to re-
assemble, upon invitation of Secretary
Weatherly, at the board of trade rooms
on Thursday, September II, at 1890
a. m.
This reunion means the bringing of
some $500 to 1000 Visitors to Bruns-
wick and much consequent advertis-
ing for the city. Leaving this fact out
of consideration, however, it is an
honor to any city to entertain these
man who fought and bled for the
South and every citizen of Brunswick
should absorb some of the spirit of
enthusiasm shown by those at the
meeting yesterday, headed by DR. Bur
roughs, and combine in giving the
veterans the time of their lives.
Some may think this rather early to
develop plans for reunion, still
some months away, yet everyone
should consider the fact that quite a
sum of money is needed and much
advertising must be done.
1t is the get-together spirit that
makes a success so let every man and
woman who has the interest of Bruins
wick at heart either be on hand or
have a representative at the next
meeting.

RAID NO HOUSES NOT
OISORDERLY ON OUTSIDE
HAYES SAYS WALDO GAVE Or
DERS TO LET 0ISORDERLY
HOUSES ALONE.

New York, Sept. 7.-Cornelius Z.
Hayes, deposed police inspector on
trial charged with making false state
mems rejecting on Police Commits
sioner Waldo, intimated on the wit
ness stand today that the offici Il sten,
ographic report of mis- converse / III
with Waldo wherein alleged false
statements were made, had been tam
pered with.
81 don't believe | said any such
things" he declared. 81 don't believe
the record is correct"
Hayes admitted that he ma13 seY-
eral raids where there was no disor-
de- apparent on the outside.
"Why did you do this?" he vas
asked.
81 had received complaint from
citizens" he replied.
A letter from Commissioner Waldo
to Hayes, the latter said, emb1dying
Mayor Gaynor's directions that oliCe-
men should discontinue old methods
OF getting evidence against dis ,rderIy
houses from the inside of such houses
put a stop to the practice. In the
case previously cited Hayes declared
he had disregarded Mayor Gay"O-'s
order.
The letter was placed in eyida1ce.
1t embodied a declaration imputed to
Mayor Gaynor that the passing Of
men in numbers to and from houses
harboring women should be tak3l as
evidence that the houses were Disc
derly. This, Hayes said, helpel sup
port his contention that in refcaining
fen ralding houses where there was
TO such evidence, he was upholdils
Nj yor Gaynor's policy.
When Cornelius g. Hayes, former
police inspector, took the sta Ill tc-
day in the case against him charging
him with making false statements
concerning Commissioner VALID, the
first question was:
what did you conceive to be- your
duty towards disorderly houses when
you first went into the Fourth dis
trict?"

BOARD OF TRADE TOOK UP THE
SUBJECT AT SPECIAL MEET
ING YESTERDAY.
COMMITTEES ARE APPOINTED
One Is Named to Gather Data to Pre-
sent to Railroad Commission, While
Another Will Appear Before Council
and Ask SoIons to Take Action.

A special meeting Of the directors
OF the board of trade was held at the
city hall yesterday morning for the
purpose of taking up the matter of
the petition filed by the A., B. & A.
railroad for the discontinuance of six
OF its passenger trains between this
city and 1halmann Every member
OF the board in the city was present.
together with num0er of other mem
bers. The board at once went on rec
ord as opposed to the wholesale dis
continuance of these trains, and after
some discussion Secretary Weatherly
was requested to write to the railroad
commission and notify the body that
Brunswick was opposed to the pro-
posed discOntinuance of these trains
and that the board would like to know
the date of the hearing in order that
the delegation from the body can be
present. EFM
The matter was discussed in detail
by the members present and it was
decided to at once get to work and
make a strong protest. A committee
composed of L. H. Haym, J. H. Wealth
Fly and G, c. Smith was appointed
to get up the necessary data to pre-
sent to the railroad commission when
the petition comes up for hearing,
and another committee, composed OF
j. A. Weatherly, c. H. Leayy and E.
c. Bruce, was appointed to appear
before council at the meeting of that
body Monday night and urge that the
council take action in some way. 1t
is probable that strong resolution
of protest will be passed by the So
Ions.
Brunswick business men generally
were strong in their protests yester-
day over the proposed discontinuance
Of these trains and they will do every
thing possible to prevent this discrim-
ination. 1t was at once realized that
it would be a serious blow to the city,
especially to the wholesalers, who
have men travelling southwark from
Brunswick. With such a poor sched-
ule local merchants would be at
great disadvantage to compete with
the merchants of Jacksonville and Sa-
vannah.
AS soon as the railroad commits
sion is notified that there is opposi-
ton on the part of Brunswick to the
proposed discontinuance of these
trains date will be fixed for the
hearing, and Brunswick will make the
strongest kind of a fight to prevent
the road from taking off all of these
trains.
