NEGRO JAILED AS
NEWSOM SLAYER
Ed Fowler Alleged to Have Made
Boast That He Stabbed Man in
Crowded Street,

Suspected Of being the murderer Of
H. D. Newsom in a crowded street in
the center Of the city last January,
Ed Fowler. colorcd Of . Mary Street,
was arrested by Detectives Harper
and Webb early this morning.
The detectives state they have three
witnesses who have heard Fowler
boast Of killing Newsom, and say,
also, that Fowler answers the descrip-
ton Of the man who was seen to
stab Newsom.
The circumstances Of the murder
made il one of the most peculiar that
the police department has had to deal
with in years. The killing was done
at the corner Of Whitehall and Ala
Lama Streets, while hundreds Of per
sons were passing, and yet the assail-
ant escaped and has succeeded in
eludiug the officers from that time.
Ncwsom was an express messenger.
living at 800 Spring Street. With two
companions. he was walking down
Peachtrec Street one Saturday even
ing in January. Accidentally he or
his companions brushed against some
negroes The Colored men followed,
and just before Alabama Street was
reached one of them pushed ahead.
The large number of people who
surrounded him aided the negro in his
purpose rather than hindered him. In
the press Of the crowd, he whipped
out a knife and buried il in the breast
Of young NewsOm. Before even New
SONS companions realized what had
happened, the murderer had elbowcd
his way out Of the excited thrOng and
disappeared. the confusion assisting
i'm his escape.

Think GAS MERGER

Local Brokers Believe Lower

out Loss to Company.

That q merger Of the two local gas
companies, with more rigid, Government
supervision by the Public Utilities Com
mission. would be benefit. to the COM
panies. and result, in an advance In the
stock. even II such supervision, fol-
lowing the merger. should result in q
lowering Of the price charged consum-
ers. was the statement today Of sew
eral local brokers.
It is pointed out that, II the Govern
ment maintained stricter; supervision
OF the companies. as It would probably
do in event Of the company becoming an
absolute monopoly, and taking over the
savings would result While not at
lacking the present management. 1t is
pointed out that the two companies
could operate n one. and avoid much
duplication OF work.
The experience Of gas companies In
ed to as an example Of what happens
when the price Of gas is reduced. It
Is declared that the gross business of
the company would be sufficiently in
creased by the lowering of the price to
preserve the net earnings at least where
tipe take away from the stock the con-
stxnt fear which the holders have that
the earnings might be affected by a
forced reduction In the price.
Local operators are fiocking to the
cotton market as though they were
never going to get another chance. and
there Is more truth than poetry in this
IL what many Of them say is to be
believed. For It p very generally feared
throughout the local financial = world
that the bin now pending before Con-
gress for the placing Of heavy tax
upon sales Of cotton when the cotton Is
not actually in hand will pass. No class
of persons IN really in closer touch with

VOICES PROTEST
ABOUT ROAD HOG
Washington Driver Discusses
Evils in Present Manner of
Handling Cars.

A strong protest against three intol-
Grant manifestations of the road hog"
spirit is voiced by Washington motor
list who, has driven. a car ever since
there were automobiles. He is recog-
nized as a careful. though fast, driver.
and is also an authority on road law
and practice. The practices he con-
demns as manifestations of the road
hog" spirit are the following:
Passing another vehicle at a street
intersection.
The holding of the center of the road
by slow going vehicle when its place
is at the side.
The failure of east and west traffic
coming in a stream at unpoliced cor
ners to yield any crossing to north and
south traffic.
Since automobiles have become nu-
merous,'' he says. ANY number OF raw
novices are at the steering wheels
Experienced drivers usually slow up at
street intersections, because they know
the danger and respect the rights of
others. The novice gets busiest at
street intersections. He cannot tell
whether or not the driver in front of
him is planning to turn the corner but
PcilS diOhS just the SAINT
What chance has driver to give a
visible signal when he has his top up
or is in closed car? A drivers hands
belong on his steering wheel when he
makes turn. He can't keep one hand
stretched outside the car and make the
turn safely. You can always tell the
novice by the fact that he tries to pass
the car ahead at a street intersection.
Another road hog is the person who
drives his machine at slow rate up
the center of the street
"Electrics and woman drivers are the
worst offenders in this. The man be-
hind who wants to move at a faster
speed cannot pass them at the right
because that Is against the law. He
cannot pass them at the left, because
the traffic bound in the opposite direc-
ton does not allow him sufficient space,
and so an entire stream of automobiles
will have to slow down to five or SIX
miles an hour because the car in front
hogs the road.
The traffic law gives east and ives,
traffic the right of way over north and
south traffic. The intolerance and hog
gishness of the raw novice has great
opportunity to manifest itself in insist
ing on this rule. have seen a north
bound vehicle wait for fifteen minutes
while the stream of east and west traf-
fic flowed by on Locust street, and never
one machine paused to let the waiting
vehicle cross. The law means that when
two vehicles moving in directions at
right angles from the center OF the street
intersection, the one moving east or
west shall have the right of way over
the one moving north or south 1t does
not mean that all the vehicles on the
street shall have such right of way.

NEW YORK MARKET
SHOWS UP BULL|SH
Canadian Pacific Reaches High
Water Mark Before the
Noon Closing.

NEW YORK. Sept. 13.-If there were
any bears at all In Wall Street today
who were not rushing to cover, and
thus acting, for all the world like bulls,
they could not be discerned by the
naked eye. Everything was bullish. One
of the very first sales of the morning.
within two minutes after the opening Of
the market at 10 O'Clock, was Canadian
Pacific. at 23o. three full points above
the close of yesterday. Before noon,
today 1t had reached a high water mark
of 232h. and closed at 232k. The high
est prices of all were reached just be-
fore the close Of the market, the
brokers seeming to be eager to buy all
they could in fear that before Monday
should roll around prices would be out
Of sight. and buying impracticable.
While dealing in Union Pacific con-
tinued to lead the market 1t did not
score the big advances today made by
some of the other issues. but this was
not surprising in view of the more than
five points hise made yesterday. Open
ing at 16oA. seven-eighths above the
closing price of yesterday, Union speed
lily sold UP to 161A. but failed to hold
at this high level, selling down to 1601s.
The announcement was generally ac-
cepted that there would be a large
cash dividend paid to stockholders of
this company out Of the proceeds Of the
sale to the Pennsylvania of the big
block Of Southern Pacific.
A market barometer. as usual, was
Steel, opening at 1891. three-eighths
above yesterdays close, and selling up
to 1864, closing one-eighth lower. Just
before the price of Steel had sold down
to 66 fiat, an offer was made to pur-
chase 5000 shares at that figure, which
effectively put the price up one-eighth,
and resulted in the sale of more than
1900 shares at the higher figure.
Dispatches from all over the cotton
belt indicated that the drought had been
completely broken. but in spite Of this
news, the price of cotton. continued to
rise. doubtless due to the effect Of the
Liverpool market, where cotton opened
from 51s to 81 up. and closed from 81
to net higher.
The weather report on cotton helped
the bullish movement in stocks. but the
most important bull news was prob
ably the announcement Of Kuhn. Loeb
& co.. before the market was. an hour
old. that the entire issue of ~ per cent
S. 100, 600 Southern Pacific equipment
trust certificates had been sold. rr-.s
