Ide's Xew Plan.
Manila, P. I.?Governor Ide returned
after a conference at Tacloban,
Island of Leyte, with MajorGeneral
Wood. Brigadier-General
Lee, Governor De Veyra. fifteen presidentes
and Colonel Taylor, of the
constabulary.
The president.es promised to sunport
the American, authorities am! to
furnish information that will lead to
the extermination of the Pulajane?.
There are various causes for Pulajanism
in the Island of Leyte, dating
back to Spanish times. The disarming
of the municipal police by
nAwivn Ar? Fio hio nA 1 { + i r* 1 An_
ponents say, caused the recent disturbances.
It is asserted that had the late
First Lieutenant John F. .Tamos, of
the English Infantry, possessed cor/
rect information he would not have
gone out with a small force.
The fight occurred in the darkness
and the troops were the victims of a
bolo rush of superior numbers, during
which their rifles were of no use.
The bodies of Lieutenant .Tames, Contract
Surgeon Calvin D. Snyder, Privates
William J. Gillick and Mathiea
Zeck have been buried at Tacloban.
Governor Ide has decided to appoint
a commission consisting of Governor
De Veyra, General Lets Colonel
Taylor and three presidentes to visit
L the disaffected districts i.nd hold
meetings of the town councils to impress
the'people with the necessity of
L / co-operation in exterminating the Pulajanes.
The outlaw band numbers about
100, and is being greatly increased
by forcing peaceful farmers to participate
iu raids, threatening them
with death if they refuse. These recruits
are armed with bolo?, as the
real ruiajanes ao uoi irusi lu^ra
with guns.
A special term of the court has
been ordered at Taclonan to try the
prisoners. It is understood TiKit the
leaders will get the extreme penalty
of the law, but that the misguided
natives will be dealt with leniently.
Governor Ide and General Wood
consider that the situation is veil in
hand and expect no further lighting.
It is probable, however, that additional
troops will be pu1; in tiie field
temporarily, to establish mountain
garrisons. The hotbed of the disturbances
covers an area approximately
thirty by twenty miles. Martial
law is deemed unnecessary, for
General Lee is practically tn control.

Brooklyn, N. Y.?The Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company charged ten
cents fare to Coney Island, notwithstanding
the decision of Justice Gaynor
of the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court, who ruled that the
cciapaay was entitled only to five
cents.
The company did this with the aid
of 250 special policemen and a corps
of heavyweight inspectors. A similar
number of real policemen were
on hand to preserve order, but failed
to do so.
Fully 1000 persons, men, women

where passengers were put' off and

As an outcome of the day's doings
a committee of citizens is being
formed in Brooklyn to enforce Justice
Gaynor's ruling. Sheriff Flaherty
of Kings County was informed
of the purpose of the committee, and
that the committee intended to call
on him, as Sheriff, to protect them as
citizens in upholding their rights.
Sheriff Flaherty said:
"I have not been requested to act
as yet, and I have not taken the matret
under advisement. If such a demand
was made and I felt that I
should act. my force of deputies i3

of passengers who went to Coney
Island. He and his wife were
passengers on a Kostrand avenue car

said the actions of the inspectors and
special policemen were disgraceful,
and that they should not be permitted
to wear the uniforms of the
city police, and thus give persons the
impression their actions were those
of the city police. He said he would

First Conviction For Offense in His- w

Salisbury, N. C.?What is said to
be the first conviction for lynching in n
the history of the State took place vi
here, when George Hall, a white ex- 3l
convict of Montgomery County, who w
was one of the party which lynched V
three negros in jail here for the mur- M
der of the Lyerly family, was found el
guilty of conspiracy in connection 0
with that crime and was sentenced to 11
fifteen years in the penitentiary. p
The jury was out only thirty-five v
minutes. Judge B. F. Long sentenced
Hall to the maximum term provided ]
for by law. The evidence against
Hall was overwhelming. p
The State sprung a surprise in the
trial when the offense against the
prisoner was changed from murder
to conspiracy.. David W. Julian, a lc
deputy sheriff, testified that he saw ti
Hall leading a mob of about thirty ai
men, some of whom the witness hi
knew. The officer had in custody a bi
