Stoatar Tillman Forcas the With drawal of His Name. A NOTABLE VICTORY I , -V'* t* t*l t I / I fe/-' Pot Senator Tillman, Who, With the Aid of the Other Democrats, Forces the Republicans to Give - l T p Effort to Force (Yum on Char leston aa Collector. Washington, Febr #.—Senator TUI- mah today put the nails In Cram’s political coffin when he secured a promise from Senator Fry, chairman of committee on commerce, charg ed with tho duty of handling the nomination, that no further effort would t>e made to confirm Crum at the present session of Congress. Senator Tillman got tlje floor soon after the Senate went Into execu tive session, and after speaking for an honr. Senator Fry announced that as It was evident that the South Car olina Senator was just beginning, he would say that under such circum stances It would he Impossible to put the Crum nomination through. Senator Tillman did not at first understand Senator Fry. He stopped his speech and asked him what he meant. Senator Fry replied that ho would not push the matter further, because there was no apparent chance to make the nomination stick. Senator Tillman then left the Sen ate chamber and other business was taken up. The fact that Senator Fry lias • announced that he will not push the case further is a complete victory for Senator Tillman. In all he has spoken more than eight hours on the case. When he began the task of defeating Crum ten days ago, many Senators said that It could not be donh, that President Rosevelt would fight through Senators i^odge Fry and 'dthers. It would lie abso lutely impossible to block the noml nation, and that it would put the people of Charleston In a better light if they would, gracefully submit ami make no further fight. Senator Tillman took the opposite view, and went to work to fight as long as there was fighting ground. In the beginning few of his col leagues were disposed to take part in the matter, but day by day more have come to his rescue until during the past few days practically all the Democratic strength of the Senate has been lined up with him in the fight. Several days ago Senator Tillman announced that he was not interest ed In what became of Crum hereaf ter, that he could get any Job he might desire, and that his only pur pose was in waging a successful fight for the people of Charleston in the determination to prevent Crum from being again forced upon them. So far as he knows there has been no trade suggested, and he only wants fcrum ousted from the collector's office. The way the matter stands now, Crum will h^ve to be nominated again, and ib is not believed by those familiar with the situation that Pres ident-elept Taft has any idea of do ing so. A few days ago certain circum stances arose, which lent something of a mystery to the case, and this led to a belief that Mr. Taft had urg ed Senator Fry to push the case. It is almost certain now that he will not name Crum for another term. Today's action apparently ends the ease with Senator Tillman, and the people of Charleston who have furn ished him with the ammunition to make the fight, the victory. Senator Tillman would not discuss the matter tonight other than to say: “We have won out.'' P. H. McG. At Houston, Miss., Several Days Ago, Taken From Jail and Hanged After He Confessed. Houston, Miss., Feb. 8.—Roby Haskln, the eighteen-year-old negro under arrest here, has confessed to the murder of Dr. W. T. Hudson, in Moore's Grove, near this town, Saturday morning. He says he shot Dr. Hudson because he had robbed him, and then decided to get him out of the way. The guvornOV*'or dered out a company of militia to protect the negro, but later can celled the order when he found out that there was no danger of a -lynching. BY A SMOOTH ARTIST The Fellow, Who Admitted With Great Flow of Tears, That He Had Been All Kinds of a Rascal—Took l'p a Neat "Collection From the Ministers. Atlanta, Feb. 10.—The Journal Houston, Miss., Fel). 9. — Roby Baskin, murderer of the Rev. W. T. Hudson, was lynched by a mob here this afternoon. A crowd of over 300 determined citizens took him from the jail and hanged him to a nearby ree. ^Not a ahpt was filled, and the. whole proceeding was conducted qui etly. Sheriff Dean, of Okolona, arrived Just as the negro breathed his last. Leaders of the mob said the negro had not been given a speedy trial as promised, and that they could not be blamed for taking justice into their own hands. The prisoner was seized without resistance and accepted his fate as a matter of course, sullen and with out a word of entreaty or prayer. He was hanged from an elm tree within two hundred yards of the county jail. The representatives of the sheriff hero declared they considered theii action in surrendering the negro, in view of the refusal of the court toeall a special term, justified in the Interest of law and order. Should their action be criticised they declare they will resign. According to liaskin's confession he first robbed and, in fear ttiat he would he arrested for the rohl^ry, shot and killed the minister, throw ing his body into a |>ond where it was found tty searchers.

Dainbridgf\ Ga., Feb. 9.—Ike Jones, a nsOtro, attempted to crlmi nally assault the 16-year-old daugh ter of Joe Spooner early this morn ing. Tho negro went to the home of the Spooners, and there was no on /at the place except the daughter The negro asked where her fathe and brother were, and the girl tool him that they were both In th field working. He then told he that he wanted to buy some sau sage. When the girl went out to he smokehouse to get the sausage for him, the negro followed her.^ As he caught her around the throat she pulled away, and ran past him screaming, to the field, where her brother was working- A posse was soon organized and succeeded in finding the negro wh< was brought before the girl, who identified him. He was carried to Iron City and placed in the town jail. There was some talk of a mol aking charge of him, and he was brought to Bainbrldge on the noon lrain. A number of citizens of the west ern side of the county, where the crime was committed, have followed the negro here, and there is consid erable uneasiness among the officials that the negro will be lynched. Judge Frank Park, of the Albany circuit, is here in town and has offered to give the negro Just as speedy a trial as necessary, saying that he would remain over until to morrow, if necessary. The same negro has been identi fied as the one attempting an as- --ault upon tlie daughter of another white man in the same section some months ago. says a shrewd beggar with his trionic ability In general and of of humanity in general and of preachers in particular, left Atlanta last week, taking with him contri butions from the majority''of the local ministry. In all, he secured fifteen or twenty dollars, a pair of trousers, and an overwhelming num ber of handclasps and assurances of help. He was a weazened little man with a wail in his voice. Rev. H. A. Atkinson found him on the thresh old of his study last Wednesday. He pointed one trembling finger at the minister. “I am a forger,” he said. That was his introduction to the ministers of Atlanta. His story was dramatic. He said his name was Henry McKenzie. 'For twenty-two years I was in Sing Sing for forgery,” he told Dr. Atkinson. “Then I was parolled and I came' to South Carolina to try life over again. 1 got a job. I was living honesGy, then they found out my past and I was fired. Since then it has been the same thing over again. My story follows me every where. Once I get work and life begins to promise something, some pbe hears of it and I am discharged. “I forged one check for 137,000 on J. Pierpont Morgan in my bad days and got It cashed. That was only one of the terrible things did. My life was black. But want to put all that behind me now and live a new life, but the world won't let me. I have paid my debt to society and still Ft demands more." Dr. Atkinson gave him two dol lars and the pair of trousers. He also set about getting him work. The following day, the man all atremble, came to Rev. E. D. Ellen wood’s study. “I am a forger,” he said again. Then his fingers began to work and the tears to roll down his face "And God help me, a morphine fiend, too,” he cried. “But I have determined to make a new life of it.” He snatched a box from his pocket and threw it into the fire “I shall never touch morphine again.” Dr. EHenwood gave half a dollar After the man had left he took the box from the stove. In it were some white powders, which he showed to a druggist. The druggist said they were not morphine powders at all. When he asked Dr. Ellenwood for money, the later offered-to buy him any food he might wish. But you must trust me, doctor, he said. "Trust is what I need Trust and confidence." He said the same thing to Dr Atkinson. Then he paid a visit to Dr. C. B Wilmer, from whom he secured sev oral dollars; dropped in to see Dr Pise, called upon Bishop C. K Nelson, and saw Rev. E. H. Pea/ cock, of the Baptist Tabernacle. By Thursday l>r. Abk-j-Rson-yhad secured him a position drivlhg wagon with a gang of convict's.

Save the Crew of Schooner That Goes to Piece*. Delaware Breakwater, Del., Feb KT —-The four-masted sohooni r Sarah W. Lawrence, from Ne.vpo/t / News, with a cargo of coal for Bos ton, was today blown aground on the Hen and Chicken's Shpals off Cape Henlopen, Del. The crew of nine men and the captain's w if o were rescued by the Cape Hehlop.m life-savers. The schooner broke in two after the ten persons had been taken off. They were landed at Lewes, Del. The sea was running so high that it was impossible for the life-savers alone to go th the assistance of the stranded vessel, and a tug was called upon to tow the life-savers in a launch Out to the schooner. The Cape Henlopen men risked their lives in putting their boat through the pounding surf, but they reached the schooner safely and just as the hull of the Lawrence became sub merged. Those aboard were hud- dled on the fore house of the sunken vessel. The sea was running so high that the hardy rescuers were unable to get close to the crew and life pre servers and ropes were brought into use. The captain's wife was the first taken off, and it took several hours to effect the rescue of the others. tears in that I such work as that,” he said, couldn't endure to w/tch those poor black men in chaiqS, after the hor rible imprisonment I have gone through • invself,7 It was an e/hotlon too commend able to be scoffed at.

Selma, Ala., Feb. 8.—News has just reached here of the lynching of Will Parker, a negro, near Mexla, in Monroe county, last Saturday. The negro had mistreated the three-year- old daughter of N. O. Bailey, the man for whom he worked on Friday. A mob was formed during the night, but the dogs were unable to take the negroe's trail until the following morfiing. He was found in a corn crib, and when the sheriff’s posse arrived, about half an hour later, frdm Monroeville, they found the negro's body hanging to a tree. - The Columbia Record says for some time Commissioner E. J. Wat son has striven to get the cotton from this state shipped direct to European points, thus avoiding the profits to middlemen. Tho scheme has lately been fur thered and .to the extent that on the 15th of the month. Mr. Watson and Mr. B. Harris, of Pendleton, will go to Savannah, where they will meet Mr. Wilhelm Dickson, a director of the Swedish-Amerlphn steamship company, with headquarters at Got henburg, Sweden. The object of the conference is to look into the feasibility of open ing Southern ports for the export ing of cotton by regular steamship lines. Mr/ Dickson is a prominent ex porter and is greatly interested in the scheme above mentioned. On December 1st of last year he wrqte the following letter to Commission er Watson relative to the matter: ‘Dear Sir: Being one of the direc tors of Captain Lundgren's steam ship company, Rederi Aktlebolaget Trans-Atlantic,' and having worked with him hand in hand since we started proceedings in buying two small tramp steamers, I am natur ally informed of and fully initiated in, as well as greatly Interested In, your plan of the direct line between Charleston and Sweden. 1 shall be starting on January 16th for New York on other business, but I shall before that go fully through every thing with my friend Lundgren, and shall have great pleasure in making an appointment with you when over in America to discuss matters, es pecially so the matter I herewith take the liberty of putting before you. “As you are well aware, there is is a large cotton export, and also a great rosin export, and these two different classes of goods would nat urally he greatly favored by the new [frojefftod llrfe, and merchants on your side would naturaly he anxious of forming good direcC connections on this side. It Is thus my purpose by writing this letter to ask you kindly to put me into connection with people who would be interest ed in shipping their goods by the direct line, and getting a reliable agent over there. I thus propose to take up these agencies. I am pre pared to take up any big article you put before me, but of course, I am only wishing to touch the wholesale trade and make a largj/ turnover.

Atlanta, Feb, ft.—The Journal says while comparing with the Infa mous Whitechapel murders of twen ty years ago, the Dayton girl murders have no parallel in American crime annals. —- - Altogether, it appears, five young women were mysteriously murder ed and the police theory is that all were struck down by the same fiendish hand. This may or may not be true. It is a fact, however, that five young women of about the same age and social condition, have been myste riously murdered in the Ohio city and there are various tangible cir cumstance's which seem to connect the crimes. The police call the supposed mur derer “ack the Strangler,” from the fact that all of the girls were ap parently killed by the clutch of a monster’s hand upon the throat. The latest victim was pretty Elizabeth Fulbart. a little country girl, who went to Dayton to obtain employment. The day after her ar rival she disappeared. It is believ ed that she was lured into a vacant l^ouifd, in the resident di^ridt strangled to death, otherwise abus ed and dropped into a cistern in the rear of the dwelling. Two workmen happened to open the old cistern, a week after the girl disappeared, and discovered the body, floating oh the water. It was fished out 'through the manholp through which it liad been dropped and soon identified by the girl's tirothor. The girl was fully/dress From the condition of ttF* remains the police were unable 7 to decide Flow death bad been /fnftit-tedv but that there were no founds seemed to strengthen the/theory that she had been strangled.

Anna Markowitz, 18, was assault ed and killed on the night of Au/- gust 5, 1907. She was seizedt by an unknown man while walking in a park with her sister and a young man friend. The sister ran off to get help. When Ure police arrived the girl lay dead in a thicket. Layton Hjoes w r as arested, and on circumstantial evidence was sentenc ed to life imprisonment.' The police now' frankly say that they doubt -Flines’ guilt. Dona Gilman, 20, was assaulted, then strangled to death, by a fiend on the night of November 20, 1906 Her body was found forty hours lat er concealed In a thicket near her home. Ada Lantz, 13, after an assault, was thrown into a vault In the rear of her home and was there found dead. A party was in progres in the girl’s home at the time. This crime, occurring in 1901, has never been solved. One Woman in Field and Children in House. Two Cades, Fel). 10. —Hester Wingate, a colored woman who lives a few miles above here, caught fire while burning brush and before anything could be done for her, her entixe clothing had been burned off. She eaught and burned in the presence of several men, who failed to render any appreciable service. One got his hands severely burned while doing what he could to aid her. Yesterday came news of the burn ing of Mellard Wood s house and two-year-old child, while father and mother were some distance away at a neighbor’s house. This seems to be another of those not unusual eases among colored people, where they go away add leave their child ren alone in the house to meet death by their parents’ gross carelessness.

Washington, Feb. 8.—-Responding to a resolution'trrtrcrduced by Sena tor Clay, a report was sent to the senate today by Secretary of the Navy Newberry, saying"OTat it costs $1 09,85 6 to keep a first class bat tleship In repair and good condition for one year. This figure was obtain ed by taking the average of the cost of keeping seventeen battleships In repair for the fiscal year, 191L8. It does not include extraordinary repair incident to taking a ship out of commission remodeling, or recon structing it. The cost of coal used on battle ships for the fiscal year, 1908, was $3,163,902 ami this amount was in creased by transportation and stor age charges to $5,6 14,945. The coal was bought from sixteen com panies at prices varying from $2.60 to $.675 per ton, the variation being due to the state of the market, the number of tons per contract, and the distance of delivery.
