yesterday that she put her signature to
check covering the claims of the
Bank of the Metropolis against her es-

The greatest secrecy had been pre-
served by lawyers representing the

1t was their evident intention to keep
the news of the settlement from the
public until the eleventh hour before
the auctioning of the generals effects,

When he arrived at his office the
sheriff at once got into communication
with John Delahunty, attorney for the
Bank Of the Metropolis, and asked If
the judgment had been settled over
night.
II do not wish to continue soliciting
the aid Of the wealthy men of the
sheriff's jury panels unless 1t Is abso-

of Living.
SHOW UNMAZING FIGURES
Conference of Producers and
Consumers Held at New
York Board of Trade.

New York. Dec Ga conference OF
producers and consumers held at the
New York board of trade and trans
portation to discuss the high cost of
living brought out some astounding
truths as to the way the value Of farm
produce climbs between the farms near
New York and the counters of the deal
ers in country produce in the city. The
remedy, the conference agreed, lies in
city markets. improved terminal facili-
ties and the elimination of the produce
mtddlemen, who are growing enor-
mously wealthy.
Beans and cauliflower are two vege-
tables used by speakers as illustrative
of the exorbitant prices demanded by
the produce dealers. T. e. Tuttle,
Long Island farmer, spoke about beans
81 raise lima BEANS" he said. This
year the price went down to 40 cents
bushel. OF that sum the commission
man took 10 per cent and l paid the
freight. That same time I went down
to Washington market and found my
beans, for which / had received a little
more than 30 cents bushel, selling al
Is cents quart. That Is $3.50 a bush
ell. And l want to assure you that the
difference between what I got and
what they sold for at retail did not go
to the Long Island railroad"
Farmer Fullerton" the agricultural
expert of the Long Island railroad, de-
clared the New York Produce Exchange
controls produce prices both as to the
consumer and the producer. He said
J we must get rid of the speculator in
food products and told something he
had learned about vegetable that
grows in plenty around New York

over on Long Island we have 270,-
900 acres of land that is not under cul-
tivation. and every acre of it is high
class. productive, perfectly tillable land.
This past season our boys got As cents

GET SEEMED SUSPECTS
Authorities Arrest Foreigner
for the Attack on Miss
Annie McGinnis.

Trenton, N. J., Dec 6-Excitement
a prolonged search by a posse for the
assailant of Miss Luella Marshall had
scarcely had time to subside when ths
city was stirred afresh by the discovery
that another young woman had been
attacked, this time In one of the public
thoroughfares.
While walking on West Hanover
street, in the center of the city, Miss
Annie McGinnis, nineteen years old.
was attacked by man who tried to
drag her into a hallway. There were
no other men in sight at the time, but
a woman ran at the fellow with long
hatpin, and he let go of the girl and
fed.
The police later arrested Aram Rock
lain, foreigner, from q description
furnished by the girl.
Excitement ran high following the
first arrest, for posse of farmers, with
ropes and bloodhounds, had been hunt,
ing the young woman's assailant
through the swamps and woods neal
here for couple of days.
Only the intervention of the more
cool headed members of the posse pre-
vented the searchers from taking mat
ters into their own hands. Talk OF
lynching If the real assailaDt were
found has been heard on all sides as
the search has progressed.
The negro arrested is Edward Chan
man, forty-one years old, a powerfully
built man, who, the police say has al
unenviable record. He vehemently pro
tests his innocence.
Miss Marshall is lying at the point OF
death in Mercer hospital.

for His Remarks.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 6.-Governof
Cole Blease Of South Carolina, at q
session Of the governors conference
while defending his doctrine of lynch
ing negroes guilty Of attacking women.
caused a sensation by shouting, "To
hell with the censtitutiony' Many wo-
men arose from their seats and hur-
edly left the hall. Ignoring the noise
casioned by the departing women
Blease continued his impassioned
speech to the end.
Blease's unexpected PROCLAMATION Of
the constitution followed a question
asked by Governor Joseph M. Carey of
Wyoming during a discussion on uni
rorm1ty of divorce laws. The question
vas:
When you were sworn in as gov
ernor didn't you swear to uphold the
constitution? Didn't you swear-to pro-
tect colored men as well as whitesY
II Am a Fighter!'
Governor Blease had been boastfng
that he could control rs per cent of the
negro vote Of his state, despite the
warning he had given the blacks that
should they lay hands upon white
woman no protection would be afford
ed them. Blease paused after the in
terruption from Governor Carey, as
Sumed theatrical pose and shouted:
Il will answer the question, and l
nope the newspaper men will get It
right, for in my campaign In South
Carolina they found that am fighter
and cold blooded fighter. l answered
upon the rostrum in South Carolina
that when the constitution of my state
steps between me and the defense Of
the virtue of the white women Of my
state I'll resign my commission, tear 1t
up and throw it to the breezes and
march to the defense Of her honor and
virtue, regardless of the constitution |
said TO hell with the constitution and
$4,000 white men of my state indorsed
1t. Here's where I use 1t again.
Governor Blease's overheated de-
meanor altered perceptibly when he
was later informed that among The
scores of women who had left the hall
there were recognized the wives and
daughters of many of the visiting gov
ernors. Blease subsided during the re-
mainder Of the day.
Albert W. Gilchrist of Flor
Ida was first to reply to Blease, saying,
'"The first thing that indicates manly
man or womanly woman Is thought
ful consideration for other people,
Law and Mob Law.
Then Governor John F. Shafroth Of
Colorado, looking sQuarely at Blease,
asserted:
zone mob can do more harm to so
ciety than twenty murders, because a
lynching permeates the entire commun-
ity and produces anarchy. When laws
are made 1t should be the duty Of the
governor to enforce them. whether he
approves them or not"
Governor W. W. Kitchfn Of North
Carolina announced with pride that
there hadn't been a lynching In his
state for six years, adding that the SEN
hment for standing by the law" was
gaining strength and that he believed
convictions should invariably follow
lynchings.
Governor Mann of Virginia declared
that If a lynching were threatened in
his state he would call out every sol
dier Of the national guard to prevent
violence and insure the accused man
fair trial.
