Thefn' OF Sugar Charged.

New York, Aug. 29.-A captain of
sugar lighters, a mate, and two other
men, arrested yesterday on charges
of grand larceny in connection with
wholesale thefts of sugar from ves-
sells sailing for foreign ports, were

The men were arrested after an

that time several other steamers car

and in two, upon their arrival on the
other side, exploded bombs were
found.
The police say the bombs were

NO CLUES IN THE FRANK CASE.
Grand Jury Unable to Transform Ru-
mOrs Into Tangible Facts.

Marietta, Ga, Sept. 2.-The Cobb
county grand jury, investigating the
lynching of Leo NJ. Frank near Ma
rietta, reported late to-day that
I'VE have found several clues, but
We have been unable to find any one
who could identify any party. We
have done our best, under our oath
and we regret to state that we have
been unable to find enough evidence
to indict any one for this crime"
After it is stated that the jury had
the active cooperation of Governor
Nat e. Harris, the State Attorney
General. Solicitor Herbert Clay and
other officials OF Cobb county, the
report says:
I'VE have been unable to connect
anybody with the preparation of
this offense, or to identify any one
who was connected with it, although
we have investigated the information
furnished us by officers and other
parties and have followed up letters,
signed and unsigned, and to this end
we have subpoenaed and examined
many witnesses in an effort to dis
close the perpetrators of this crime,
but none of these witnesses could
identify any Of the parties.
I'VE find. from investigation, that
the officers Of the law and the citi-
Zens Of our town and county knew
nothing Of this crime until they
heard OF the body being found near
Frey's gin, in this county. The city
OF Marietta and the county of Cobb
were quiet before this trouble, are
quiet now, and all reports to the con-
trary are untrue"
Upwards Of 80 witnesses We're eX-
amined yesterday and to-day. They
included the chief Of police and other
citizens OF Atlanta and individuals
in every walk of life in Marietta.
Anonymous letters, referred 20 in
the report, still are being received
by officials of Cobb county and 9TH
ers, but the tendency DOW is to ig-
more them.
marietta is not in the frenZied
state Of turmoil that has been pic
tured,' said Solicitor Clay to-day.

A DI<nmPI'S Mistake.

We are told in the press DISPATCHES
that Florence Macfarlane, a delegate
from England to something or other
holding convention in San Francis
co, will so among the negroes "to
test the practicability of universal
brotherhood.
You've got the wrong test, Flor
ence, child. You may prove some
thing by your experiment, but it is
what everybody else now must know
that you are light in the top story.
Even the black man will laugh at
you. Universal brotherhood doesn't
mean social equality, or equality in
the sharing Of all things Of life. II
that were the case, there would be
nothing to strive for.
There can be brotherhood, and II
will be established and maintained
If such as Florence attend to their
own business, which at this time
would appear to be in the giving of
help to British soldiers rather than
in the philosophical discussions Of
things OF which she is as ignorant as
Hottentot is Of the North Pole.
The white people will pass you up.
Florence, and the black man will
speak Of you as "po' white trash"
for all OF your meddling.
brotherhood means the opposite
OF hate; it means kindliness, con-
sideration, respect, but not miscegen-
alton. The cause OF hate and the
breaking down Of all morals would
be a worldwide forgetting of race
lines, race standards, race history,
race ideals
The white man is developing a
more kindly feeling toward the black
man and this is being reciprocated

best black man, and the whitest

the fungus does not live longer than
six or eight months. When fall plow-
ing and rotations are practised the
disease can readily be eliminated pro-
vided disease-free seed are used when
cotton is again planted on the land
Seed free from the disease should al.
ways be used for planting. 1t is best
to get these from field where there is
no anthracnose, but if this is impossi-
Bile, seed should be selected from
stalks which are free from disease and
which are not near diseased stalks.
Anthracnosa can also be spread at
the gin and care should be taken in
ginning seed sor next years planting.
II the gin has previously been used to
gin diseased cotton, 1t should be thor
oughly cleaned out.
Anthracnose can be prevented en-
tirely by crop rotation and careful
selection OF seed. Now is the time
to make your seed selections and to
plan your rotation with view to get
ting rid Of this destructive disease.

INTERNED LINER QUARANTINED
"President Lincoln" in New York
With Fatal Malady Aboard.

New York, Sept 1.-The results of
archaeological examination to-day
were awaited TO determine the nature
of the disease which has placed the
Hamburger liner "President
Lincoln" under strict quarantine.
Fifteen persons aboard the ship are
i'll, and the health officers Of the port
have taken extraordinary precautions
because the symptoms resemble those
Of Asiatic cholera.
The President Lincoln is one Of the
German liners tied up at a pier in
Hoboken since the beginning OF the
war For months past she had been
used as an asylum for German refu-
gees who left their homes in the far
East on account of the war with ia
pan and are on their way back to
Germany. 1t was believed that the
germs Of the disease, whatever it may
be, were brought here by some OF
these refugees. Thirtyseven Ger
man subjects are now on board, be-
sides $50 members Of the crew.
When the situation was reported
yesterday to Surgeon General Rupert
Blue at Washington, he authorized
an inspection of the President Lin
coin and ordered that developments
be reported to him.
On account of reports Of cholera in
Austro- Hungary and Germany and in
the far East the health authorities
here have been taking precautions to
prevent the entrance Of this disease.

Washington, Sept. 2.-To date
425,0O0 horses and mules have been
shipped out of the United States for
the European belligerents and their
purchase has been a big boon in the
market for medium class horses, De-
partmCnt Of Agriculture officials said
to-day.
Government experts find that very
few high bred horses have been eX-
ported with the result that prices for
ordinary equineS have increased
Most Of the horses have gone to
England. but many shipments have
been made to France and some to
Italy. The supply is not being seri-
ously depleted, government officials
estimating that there are to-day ap-
proXimately 100000 horses and
