agement.

Washington, July 23.-Charges
that the Southern Railway has been
imposed on much as the New Haven
is said to have been, through the un-
loading upon it of branches of little
worth at fabulous prices, added an
unexpected feature today to the in
vestigation which a Senate sub-com-
mittee is making Of alleged dlScrlmi-
nations against Southern ports IT.
coal rates.
B. L. Dulaney, Of Bristol, Tenn,
made the charges in connection with
an explanation of why he believed
he Morgan interests dominated the
Southern Railway and directed the
action of its officials.
Mr.. Dulaney said he once offered to
sell the control Of the Virginia and
Southwestern Railway to the South
ern for s5OO,000 A bond issue OF
s1.OOO,OOO stood against the line. His
offer was refused, he said, but later
Henry X. McHarg sold the line to the
Southern for about S6,500,OOo, with
profit estimated at S4,O00,0O0.
The Knoxville and Bristol Railway,
sold to the Southern for S5oO,OOO,
Mr.. Dulaney said, was offered for
s4OO, 900, and he did not buy because
he did not think the line worth that
amount.
"These deals show how millionaires
are made" declared Dulaney.
Mr.. Dulaney finished his direct
statement to the co1mittee today
but will go on the stand tomorrow
to undergo cross-examination by at
torneys for the Southern Railway.

1t was in the copying of section 8

the fatal omission was made. The

Many unsolved robberies have been
reported in the village since last fall,

HUSBAND IS CHEERED
Former Prime Minister Enters Court
Amid Cheers and Hisses-Sur-
gcOn's Testimony.

Paris, July 23.-Still playing upon
strings of political discord, the fourth
session of the trial of Mime. Joseph
Caillaux for the murder of CASTOR
Calmette opened today with reports
of an impending sensation.
Despite the statement Of Prosecu-
tor Herbaux yesterday that docu-
ments rejecting on the honor Of
Caillaux do not exist, reports are
circulating today that an employe OF
LIE Figaro would appear at the trial
and there read document charging
that the former prime minister
planned to Jbetray France to Ger
many. - e,
At the same time, reports are circu-
lated that Maitre Labori may soon
introduce a witness, surgeon, who
is prepared to declare Calmette did
not die as a direct resul t Of the
wounds inflicted by Nine. Caillaux,
but because of the negligence of sur
geons who attended him. With the
"brain storm defense, which is be-
ing built up by the noted attorney,
the evidence of the surgeon promises
to stir all Paris.
The surgeon has declared that CAL
mette's wounds were not fatal; that
had the most elementary precautions
been taken his life might have been
saved, and that he would have been
discharged from the hospital within
ten days or two weeks.

TO RESTORE STATUE
Effigy of George Washington Torn
from Pedestal by Rioters During
Recent Disturbances.

Mexico City, July 23-FolloWlng
the order of President Carbajal that
the statue of Washington be replaced
on the pedestal from where it was
torn down during the anti-Amerlcan
riots, a revulsion of feeling toward
the United States has been experience
ed by Mexicans and press alike.
The belief that the Americans will
evacuate Vera Cruz Just as soon as a
duly elected president is installed
grows every day.
Kindlier feeling toward Americans
is being manifested on all sides.
Where last fall the American CLUB
was stormed and nearly wrecked by
Mexicans, today the Mexican press
is coming forward with demands that
reparation in full be made to all
Americans who suffered. The news
papers are insisting that the person
who took the arm of the Washington
statue return it at once. The arm
has been missing since The statue was
torn down.
Carbaial is in complete control of
the situation here. Government
officials charge that reports that the
city is about to fall before Zapata
are beins circulated by clique with
headquarters in Washington, with a
view to obtaining irtervention.Car-
tain interests that would profit by
intervention are backing this clique,
it is declared.
] Whi1a SOME desultory exchanges
Of shots have taken place in the edges
Of the city, it is believed there is no
danger of Zapata effecting an en-
trance. The government troops are
easily strong enough to hold the CITY
against any Zapatista attack. Car

lacked the government outposts have

STRIKE RIOTS IN RUSSIA
Street Car Services Tied Up i'll the
Capital.

St. Petersburg, July 23-The street
car services in the Russian capital
was suspended yesterday. The en-
ployees of the Central Street Railway
Company joined in the general strike
called by the workmen as a protest
against the drastic measures of the
authorities at Baku and othei pro-
vincial towns against strikers there.
Workmen in many trades have joined
in the movement and it was estimated
this morning that 100000 men had
laid down their tools.
The strike situation took on q very
serious aspect yesterday when armed
conflicts occurred in the streets and
resulted in the wounding Of many
police, cossacks and strikers.
Just outside the cauital a passen-
ger train on the coast line to Fin
land was held up by strikers, the en-
gineer was forced to quit the loco
motive under threat of being shot
and the passengers all driven OF; Of
the cars.
The strikers, who numbered 900,
then proceeded to cut down the tele-
graph poles and raise distractions or
the tracks. A detachment of cossacks
and gendarmes arrived quickly or
the scene and rove ffthe wreckers.
Traffic was conveyed by a locomotive
with an armed escort.
At Riga the strike movement wa:
reported to be spreading and it wa.
said that 10000 men in that CITY mar
struck work, while in many cthe,
cities in all parts Of the empire thou
sands of men were reported to have
left their employment.

SPEAKS AGAINST RECALL.
virginia Lawyer Addresses Com
mercial Law League Of America.

Chicago, July 23.-Disapproval OF
the recall of judges and judicial de-
cisions and a plea for less interfer-
ence with the Judiciary by the legls-
lative branch of government were
voiced yesterday by Thomas W. Shell
ton, of Norfolk, Va, chairman OF the
American Bar Associations commit
tee on uniform judicial procedure. He
spoke before delegates to the con-
vent;on of the Commercial Law
League of America.
In criticising the recall Mr.. Shell
ton referred to the attitude of James
II. of England, who declared II am
determined to have II lawyers for
Judges who will be all of my mind
"That," said Mr.. Shelton, sis an
example of the recall of judges and
judicial decisions which it is we'll to
remember"
The speaker inveighed against
what he declared was the practice
of nearly every State Legislature to
debating by rigid statutes just how
the court could perform its duties.
He compared this to giving strin-
gent rules for every move to loco
Ilrotive engineer and then to criti-
else him because his engine ran off
the track in following the rules laid
down.

Said to Be Damaging to
Mrs. Carman, Suspected
of Bailey Murder, !
REVOLVER VANISHES
While the Home Of DR.. and Mrs. Car
man Is Baricaded, Circumstantial
Evidence Accumulates,

New York, July 23-The officials
of Freeport began proceedings today
TO establish the authenticity of a letter
purportng to have been written by
Celia Coleman, the negro maid, wto
is an important witness against Mrs.
Florence C. Carman, accused of XII
ing Mrs. Bailey in DR.. Carman's
office June 80. The letter is to Jennie
Howard, a negro woman, who has an
employment agency in Rockville Cen
ter, near Freeport. Three months
ago when Celia went there she stayed
at the Howard home, and it was
through the woman's agency she OBJ
tanned her place with the Carmans.
The letter was poStmarked New York
and written with pencil on three rough
sheets Of paper. 1t appears the object
was to explain that negroes about
Rockville Centre who had said Celia
was bad were mistaken. The letter
said its author was living in Thirty
eighth street near Seventh avenue,
Manhattan, was signed with Celia's
name. 1t read in part: 81 couldn't do
as they wanted me to. In the souh,
when coons don't do as they want
them to they lynch them Here the
writing broke into an illegible scrawl
The letter then referred to the
night of the shooting. This part was
more legible than the rest. Reference
to the firing Of the shot was made,
after which the letter reads:"Mr
Carman came in through the back
door with her arms folded and said:
Celia for Gods sake go upstairs and
stay up there. I never saw her so eX-
cited as. she was then Later, after
she had gone into another room and
! was about to go upstairs DR.. Car
man came into the kitchen and said
grplffly: See that ycu' don't come
downstairs until call you"
Detectives and deputy sheriffs are
keeping everyone from entering the
! Carman home at Freeport. 1t is un-
derstood the District Attorney wants
to keep intact conditions existing on
the lawn and inside the house so he
can take the jury there and show how
the murder was committed.
That a 3S-calibre revolver was in
the Carman home just prior to the
murder of Mrs Baily is the state
! ment attributed to detective.
This announcement discloses one of
the strongest links in the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence being welded
around the accused woman.
| 1t has been determined by the au-
thorities that Mrs. Baily fell victim
to i bullet from a 3S-calibrc revolver
Both DR.. Carman and Mrs. Carman
have emphatically denied that they
ever had such d weapon. Despite their
contention however, the detective ie-
clared in positive terms that District
Attorney Smith would be able TO es-
tablish that the Carman's did have
revolver of this calbre, and that it
nfysteriously disappeared immediate
" after the homicide.
No clue as 70 its whereabouts has
been forthcoming in spite Of the di-
ligent efforts of the slcuths.
