New York is Greatly Worried Over the
PrsseEce of the Cholera.
THE DISEASE DREADED
The United States, New York State
and City Health Officers Taking
Strenuous Methods to Prevent the
Spread of the Terrible Malady in
This Country.
The United States, New York State
and City medical authorities have
been working night and day for the
past week or more in and around
New York city to prevent the spread
of the dread Asiatic cholera, which
has already claimed several victims
at the Swinburne quarantine station
near that city. All suspects are be
ing held at the station. The situa
tion is serious, as cholera spreads
with great rapidity when it gets a
foothold in a country.
Every possible effort is being made
by this government to prevent the
inroads of cholera to the United
States. With the most rigid quar
antine In force In New York, the
Federal public health service has
strengthened its Inspection abroaa
and detailed instructions have been
issued to all health officials as to the
best means' of facing the menace. As
sistant Surgeon General is watching
the situation here tor the public
health service, keeping n close touch
with Surgeon General Wyman and
co-operatng with Dr. Doty at quar
antine. All vessels arriving In this
country are .being thoroughly in
spected.
At Palermo,,Naples, ar.d other Ital
ian ports, cholera Is epidemic. Tun
dreds of victims have died from with
in one to 24 hours after contract
ing the disease. On the steamship
sailing from Italy to the United
States, the Italian government, try
ing Its 'best to co-operate with the
American health officials, sena spec
. ial health officers to observe any pas
sengers who may show signs of
cholera. These officers have been of
valuable assistance to the American
officials. Quite a large ni\nber of
shdps have been held in quarantine
at' Swinburne and Hoffman islands
the past two weeks, no passengers
being permitted to enter the por* 01
New York.
Cholera has developed among some
of the passengers after they have
been in quarantine for over a week,
which emphaefzes the fact that the
strickest sort of guard must be kept
on passengers from Italian ports.
Dr. Doty said regarding a visit from
one of the bacteriological experts of
Gen. Walter Wyman's Marine Hospi
tal corps at Washington:
"The'visit of this expert shows the
increased precautionary methods
which are being taken by the United
States Government all along the
coast to prevent Italy's present out
break of cholera from entering thiB
country. The Government is going
Into the (bacteriological side of this
threatened cholera Invasion -with un
usual care.
"The thing In fighting cholera
Is to isolate each case as soon as it
is suspected, and, secondly, to take
care that there is no local infection,
like the contamination of the water
supply, in the place where the sus
pect qases are isolated. That is
why I detained all the passengers of
the Moltke, although at the time
there were no absolute cases of
cholera among them. I let the crew
take the vessel back to Europe, but
refused to allow any of them to come
ashore.
"Great precautions are also being
taken at Italian ports to keep the
cholera from leaving them and get
ting to this country. The American
and Italian governments and the
steamship companies themselves are
combining to segregate all prospec
tive passengers on large floats in
Italian harbors for several days be
fore the ships actually sail for this
country. Preliminary symptoms of
illness are carefully watched for. All
private stocks of foodstuffs and fluids
aretaken away from the passengers
and bacteriological examinations inj
many cases are made.
Cholera, the prime cause of which;
is one of the most perplexing ques- j
tion3 with which scientists have to
deal, originated in the East Indies
and was not known to migrate for
more than 1,000 years. It did not
spread In Europe unti! 1830, when
it created terrible ravages The
Russians took it from India through
couriers ard stage coaches. Cholera
is usually ushered in by vomiting
and griping pains in the stomach.
Death follows in from one to 24
hours. If life is retained longer than
this time, the patient may recover.
A large percentange of the cases die.
Caused by Booze.
Charlie Trent, of Durham, N. C,
aged 22, and Bennie Blackman, of
Florence, S. C, aged IS, both white,
were instantly killed in the Coast
Line's freight yards at Florence Sat
urday night. The two young men,
it is supposed were under the influ
ence of liquor and had lain down on
the track, where they went asleep.
Burned to Death.
Leo Hunt lost his life in a fire in
Battle Creek, Mich., last week, when
he stopped to find his wooden leg
before he left a burning building. *
COUSIN ADMITS BUYING GUN FOR
THE FATAL DEED.
Husband of Slain Woman Romains
Perfectly Calm, but His Cousin
Falls in Faint.
The missing link In the chain of
evidence which the detectives have
been forging In the cas of the mur
dr of Mrs. Henry Clay Beattie, Jr..
who was slain last Tuesday night,
five miles south of Richmond on the
Midlothian , turnpike, while automo
biling with her husband, was sup
plied Friday afternoon .when Paul
Beattie, a cousin of Henry Clay Beat
tie, Jr., made formal confession to
the police that he bought for Henry
and delivered to him last Tuesday
the gun with which Mrs. Beattie was
killed.
Thereupon both Henry Clay Beat
tie, Jr., and Paul Beattie were ar
rested, and the former was brought
to the Richmond city jail, where he
is now confined.
Paul fell in a dead faint on being
told he was under arrest, and later
writhed in convulsions. He was so
violent that he had to be handcuffed
and thus manacled he was taken to
the city home lor medical treatment.
The Inquest proceeded as per ad
journment at the home of Coroner
Loving, in Chesterfield county. At
seven o'clock Friday afternoon a
further adjournment was had until
12:30 o'clock Saturday.
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., was the
first witness heard. The common
wealth line of questioning Indicz.ted
its belief that his wife was killed In
the road where tbr large blood stain
was found, the automobile's <lflp
pan having caught the hemorrhage
after the .body was placed In the oar.
Inquiry for the clothing worn by
Mrs. Beattie brought out the start
ling fact that her clothing had been
burned by her family, who, it was
explamed, wished to destroy that
gruesome reminder of the tragedy.
Beattie was on the stand for over
two hours, and in spite of all tests
such ?.s the reconstruction of the
fcene at the moment of the crime,
stack to his original account of thei
tragedy.
On being arrested he remained per-|
fectly cool, affording thus a strik
ing contrast to hiB cousia.'^Ke ex
hibited neither surprise nor emotion.
His only request was that he be giv
en a newspaper. This was handed
him, and he read !t apparently wir.h
deep interest. Then he threw it to
tte floor, lit a cigarette and looked
dreamily Into space. *
WILSON MAY BE SHIPPED.
Taft Blames Him for Allowing the
Wiley Incident,
Secretary of Agriculturo W<#son
may be asked to resign as the result
of the hornet's nest he permitted to
be stirred up over Dr. Harvey Y/.
Wiley, Government pure food expert.
It is declared the President Is re
sentful over the situation and the
affair may result in a mild reproach
for Dr. Wiley and the ousting of
realizes that Secreatry Wilson might
have averted the whole trouble if he
had been more watchful of the de
tails of the business of his depart
ment and had shown more courage
and decisiveness in dealing with the
affair at the outset. It is evidently
the purpose of the President to put
the brunt of the embarrassing a~?air
on Secretary Wilson. This is shown
by the President's refusal to permit
the Secretary of Agriculture to longer
sidestep responsibility, as he -has
done from the beginning. *
DREADED CHOLERA SPREADS.
One Woman Dies With the Diesease
in Boston Thursday.
Asiatic chole/a has reached Boston.
It caused one death, while two for
eign siaiLors, who are believed to
have carried the dreaded disease to
that city, after being takea ill, dis
appeared and their whereabouts is
unknown, according to a statement
given out unofficially by Chairman
Samuel H. Durgin of the Boston
board of health.
The cholera victim was Mrs. Ta
massino Mastrodenico, who died at
the detention hospital on Gallup's
Island Thursday. She took into her
home as lodgers a few weeks ago
two sailors who were members of
the crew of a steamer supposed to
have sailed from an Italian port. The
sailors subsequently were taken ill
and disappeared. Efforts are being
made to find them.
Stray Bullet Kills.
Mrs. R. R. Greene, who resides
north of Live Oak, Fla., was acci
dentally killed last week by a rifle
?ball fired by some member of the
Suwannee Rifles. Several members
of the company were out north of
the city engaged in rifle practice,
and a stray bullet from one of their
rifles struck Mrs. Greene, who was
at her home, one mile distant, kill
ing her instantly. ?
Kiled by Lightning.
Arthur Williams, 32 years old, of
Seaside, Kas., was instantly killed
by lightning Monday and 12 of his
fellow employes were stunned by a
bolt which struck a brick chimney

ORANGES
CROP REPORTS A FRA?ID
XO ESTIMATES ON COTTON CROP
. WILL BE ISSUED.
Senator Smith Points Ont ?ue Ab
snridity of the Guess to the* Sec
retary of Agriculture.
Senator E. D. Smith gave out the
following interview Thursday, after
a call on the Secretary of Agricul
ture:
"On July 3 ia statement of the con
dition of the cotton crop was issued
from the department of agriculture
putting the condition at 88.2 per
cent of normal, as compared with
a ten year average of 80 per cent.
Also, that the acreage of cotton was
about 35,000,000 acres. To quote
the exact language of the alleged re
port in this respect, u says.
" 'The report shows condition of
the crop to be< higher than on any
corresponding date in the last ten
years. A month ago the general
condition was 3.5 per cent above the
ten year average. Today it is 10.3
per cent above the ten-year average.
" 'The acreage of cotton this year
is about 35,000,000, allowing for the
average amount of abandonment,
iabout 1,000,000 acres, the indica
tions' are that approximately 34,
000,000 acres of cotton will be har
vested.
" 'The condition Indicates a prob
able yield of 202.8 pounds per acre,
which, on 34,000,000 acres would
mean 6,805,000,000 pounds, or about
114,425,000 bales.'
"This being the first estimate of
the kind and realizing its immense
value to the speculator and gambler
I believed that there was some mis
take somewhere. It makes no differ
ence as to the fact, this is a mere
guess, for coming, as it is alleged
to have done, from the agricultural
department, it carried with it offi
cial weight, and therefore, was cal
culated to have vastly more effect
upon the market than any private
guess could have. I, therefore, this
morning, interviewed Secretary Wil
son in person. He informed me this
estimate was without the sanctios of
law, and that on account of the
r-any Influences that are likely to
occur in effecting the final yield ov
the crop, 1: was :"oo.:inhness for any
[one to attempt to forecast the yield
at this date. That, if this did come
from any of his divisions, that It
was the first and the last time it
would occur.
"Of course, the damage to a large
ex-tent has been done. That is, Its
effect on the price of cotton has al
ready been felt, but it is due to the
public, the cotton growers and the
legitimate cotton dealers to know
that the agricultural department
does not lend ifs sanction to the
alleged estimate.
"As an illustration of the absur
dity of an attempt to make a guess
now, in 1908 we had 32,344,000
acres, and made 13,432,000 bales;
in 1910 we had 32.403J300 acres,
and made 11,560,000 bales; in 1906
we had 31,374,000 acres, and made
13,305.000 bales; in 1907 we had
31,311,000 acres, and made 11,325,
000 bales.
"Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Mississippi and Aalbama are
infested with the weevil. The pest
begins its ravages about the 15th of
July. The extent of its ravages are
largely dependent upon the condition
of the weacher. If there is an ex
: cess of rain the damage done by the
weevil Is increased; if there is not
an excess of rain the damage Is less
ened. Already many complaints are
coming in from these sections of too
, much rain. This factor, together
! with many others that the cotton
trade if famiha.- with, make it im
possible to foretell what the ultimate
j yield may be. And I am extremely
I gratified to know from the Secretary
J in person, that :this dangerous and
I preliminary estimate will not be
made again." *
Blease Will Oppose.
Governor Rlease was asked Satur
day what would be his attitude
toward betting, in case the project
to establish a metropolitan race
track at Charleston should be reviv
ed, as it is intimated it will be. "I
have not changed my opinion as ex
pressed before my inauguration," he
said. "I am opposed to gambling
and do not intend to allow it at a
track in Charleston."
Lone Bystanuer Shot.
Two men entered the shop of the j
j Franklin Jewelry company in the
i heart of Kansas City last wtek, held
up B. J. Franklin at the point of a
! revolver, took a tray of diamonds
and ran down an alley. When pur
sued y Franklin they fired at him,
dangerously wounding B. A. Seitz,

BULL RUN ROUT
Very Iiterestiog Celebration of Its Fif
tieth Anniversary By
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY
President Taft Takes Part in the Pro
gram.?Reviewed the Old Confed
erate and Federal Veterans.?Oili
er Distinguished People Also At
tend Exercises on the Battlefield.
The Blut and the Gray marched
across the fields of Manassas to meet
each other again Friday. This inci
dent, unique in history, the meeting
of Federal and Confederate veterans
on the field where they fought a
mighty battle just r>0 years ago, at
tracted as witnesses the President
of the United States, the Governor
of Virginia, the home of the Confed
erate capital, and visitors from many
States.
It was the crowning feature of
the Manasas peace jubilee and re
union which began last Sunday with
a sermon on the court house lawn
by Rev. H. N. Couden, chaplain of
the House of Representatives, who
lost his sight while serving in the
Union ranks.
President Taft and Governor Mann
long ago had accepted invitations to
be the guests of honor of the day,
to review the lines of gray-haired
veterans and make addresses in the
afternoon. In the evening they met
the old soldiers and other visitors at
a public reception.
The following program was carried
out:
9 a. m., veterans in blue and gray
assemble at Henry House, on battle
field.
10 a. m., addresses of welcome by
Col. Edmund Berkeley, Eighth Vir
ginia, and United States Senator
Thomas S. Martin, of Virginia.
Responses by Gen. Jno. E. Gilman,
commander-in-chief of the Grand Ar
my of the Republic, and Gen. George
W. Gordon, grand oommander of the
United States Veterans.
Presentation of souvenir badges by
Col. Robert M. Thompson, of Wash
ington.
Noon, veterans marshaled ft re
view, and the men in the blue and
gray clasp hands.
1 p. m., luncheon and love feast.
2 p. m., return to Manassass.
4 p. m., forty-eight young women,
representing the States of the Union,
clasc hands and forming circle, sing
the Manassass National Jubilee An
them.
4:30 p. m., addresses by the Presi
dent of the United States and the
Governor of Virginia.
It was on July 21, 1S61, just 50
years ago, that Bull Run ,or the first
battle of Manassas, was fought. The
Confederates, under Johnson, were
accredited with a decisive victory ov
er the Union forces, under McDowell,
the retreat of the Federals leaving
practically a clear road to Washing
ton for the Confederates, it is said,
had they chosen to continue their
advance on the Capital.
. This was the first real battle of
the war, and its result awakened the
North for the first, time to a realiza
tion of what the secession of the
Southern States meant. It was here
that "Stonewall" Jackson gained
the name which will be associated
with his memory for all time.
In August, IS62, Manassas was
again the scene of a bloody battle.
Lee and Pope contended for the mas
tery. As in the former battle, the
Federals were terribly beaten, the
Confederates capturing thousands of
prisoners and millions of dollars
worth of stores, thousands or. small
arms and many cannon . The battle
lines in the second battle wee re
versed from those of the first battle.
The jubilee reunion was planned |
by committees of the Grand Army
of the Republic and the United Con
federate Veterans. Interestiag events
have taken place each day, sessions
-of the national organization of "The
Blue and the Gray and Their Sons,,
being held F'iday.
The Manassass National Anthem,
adopted by the committee, was writ
ten by Mrs. Mary Speed Mercer, of i
Elm City, N. C. This is the chorus: |
"America, all hail to thee;
Thanks be to God who made us free, i
North South, East, West, hand clasp
ed In hand.
United we, thy children, stand."
Thin lines of veterans of the blue
and gray, with halting steps, slowly
advanced toward each other and
meeting, clasped hands in fraternal
greeting at noon on the historic ba
tlefield, where fifty years ago they
were encaged in the battle of Bull
Run, the first great conflict of the
war between the States.
This, one of the crowning events of
the Manassass peace jubilee, was wit
nessed by six thousand people, in
cluding many prominent persons. *
Charges Machinery Monopoly.
A message requesting the legisla
ture to investigate the manufacture
of shoe machinery in Massachusetts
was sent to the senate by Gov. Foss.
The Governor pointed out that the
manufacture of shoes is a leading
industry in the State and that ap
parently nearly all of the machines
belong to one corporation organized
in another State, but operating prin
cipally In Massachusetts. *

PAID BIM WELL
GETS SMALL FORTUNE FOR BE
ING KIND TO OLD MAN.
Exchanged Sleeping Car Berth With
Him and Young Man Is Given
Twenty Thousand Dollars..
Four years ago William R. O'Neal,
a young business man of Bainbridge,
Ga., exchanged a lower berth for an
upper one with a feeble old gentle
man who was journeying to Florida
for his health.
The Atlanta Constitution says on
last Wednesday O'Neal learned that
the chance friend had left him a for
tune of $20,000, which will be turn
ed over to him as soon as he complies
j with certain legal formalities.
"Aw, come on, come on; I know
j you are lying," said O'Neal good nat
uredely to the man who informed
I him of his good fortune. They were
walking up?Peachtree street at the
time.
"Well, I congratulate you anyway,
whether you believe it or not, and
you can find out for yourself that
the man's son is here looking for
you," was the reply.
And O'Neal did find out that the
statement is correct. J. T. Young,
Jr., of Oakland, Cal., reached Atlanta
Wednesday on a search for O'Neal.
Mr. Young, Sr., having left him a
substantial fortune in his will. Mr.
Young did not know his address and
enlisted the local press in the search.
Nr. O'Neal is 26 years old. He
reached Atlanta Wednesday after liv
ing for some time in Macon. He was
born in Bainbridge, and is the son
of Mrs. Chloe O'Neal, a widow of that
place.
"What are you going to do with
your fonlune?" Mr. O'Neal was ask
ed by one who had visions of a tur
key dinner, an automobile, a trip
to Europe and a new overcoat.
"Do. Well, I hardly know yet defi
nitely, but I will invest it and prob
ably go to work for myself. That's
lot better that working, for someone
else," answered the level-headed
young chap. *
Faked Whole Story.
The Atlanta Journal says Thurs
day a voice, a nice, trustworthy
[ voice, that carried well over the
telephone and inspired confidence,
announced that it's owner was J. T.
Young, Jr., and that J. T. Young,
Sr., recently deceased rt Oakland,
Cal., had left $20,00 to W. R.
O'Neal, of Georgia. The voice ask
ed the Atlanta papers to kindly as
sist in the search for W. R. O'Neal,
The papers kindly did. O'Neal was
straightway found?In Atlanta. He
expressed his joy and surprise. It
is- now darkly hinted that these joy
and these surprise were as mytholog
ical as the sick old gentleman in
Florida.
As soon as W. R. O'Neal was
found he was arrested for jumping
a board bill in LaGrange, also for
passing three worthless checks. He
is now in jail in LaGrange.
At the same time came a telegram,
in response to inquiries, from Oak
land, Cal., that no J. T. Young, eith
er senior, or junior, either dead or
?alive, was known In those parts.
The Youngs who did live in Oak
land, who had other initials, denied
all knowledge of W. R. O'Neal and
of the sick old ger.l'.t-man in Florida.
Whose the voice was is a mys
tery, and there is still a bare possi
bility that there is some mistake,
and that O'Neal has really become
an heir. Until the truth Is certified,
it may be well for hopeful travelers
to continue the pretty custom of re
linquishing their lower berths to
sick old gentlemen in Florida.
SHOT INTO CROWDED CAR.
The Fiendish Act of an Infuriated
Young Syrian.
.At North Adams, Miass., Saturday

DARING ROBBERY
THREE THIEVES SHOOT A CLERK
AND ROB A STORE.
They Seize x Tray Containing Five
Thousand Dollars Worth of Dia
monds and Escape.
Three armed thieves invaded the
heart of the Tenderloin at its gay
est hour Saturday night in New
York, smashed a Sixth avenue jew
eler's shop window, shot his clerk
dead, seized $5,000 worth of dia
mond rings and :got away in a taxi
cab, pursued by scores of persons
who had witnessed the murder and
robbery.
A woman, who the police believe
was a confederate, entered the store
of Jacob Jacoby a few minutes prior
to the shooting and asked Mr. Jac
oby to test her eyes for glasses.
While she engaged him the window
glass was smashed and Adolph Stern,
a clerk, rushed to the street. An
under-sized man with a revolver
blocked him at the door.
Stern tried to brush past him to
get at a man who had poked his
hand through the broken window
and grasped a tray of diamond rings.
The under-sized man shot twice and
Stern fell. "My God, I'm shot," he
cried. A moment later he was dead.
Passers saw the man at the win
dow withdraw the tray of rings, tuck
it under his coat and dart across
the street. He disappeared through
the open door of a red touring car.
The engine coughed and the machine
was gone with half a hundred men
pursuing. These the oar soon out
distanced, (but not until the first
three numbers had been caugjht.
They were 537 and constitute the
chief clue left for the police.
The man who shot Stern ran in
the opposite direction, unseen by any
one but Mr. Jocoby. The murderer
fired a wild shot *t Jacoby, eluded
him and escaped.
Detectives took up the trail within
a few minutes, and armed with de
scriptions of the slayer and the auto
mobile, are hopeful of capturing the
thieves.'
LADY'S TRAGIC DEATH.
She Is lulled by Falling Through an
Elevator Shaft.
Mrs. Caroline Alken Robertson,
wife of Manager McBride C. Robert
son, of the South CaroHna Cotton
Oil Company's plant in Columbia,
died at the Columbia Hospital Sat
urday evening, without regaining
consciousnesss, half an hour after
Calling from ithe second floor level
to the 'basement, down the elevator
shaft in the National Loan and Ex
change Bank building. Just how
the accident occurred may never be
known. It is the prevailing theory
that as the elevator came up the
operator opened the door, thinking
Mrs. Robertson wished to go to a
higher floor; that on finding she
wished to go down instead, he start
ed his car upward and, as the floor
of the rar rose and before the door
had closed, Mrs. Robertson, whose
hearing was defective, stepped for
ward and fell into the shaft, or else
that the door did not catch as the
car rose and Mrs. Robertson, peering
down the shaft, was struck by the
car as it descended.
PRAISES THE DEMOCRATS.
President Taft Gives Them Credit
For Passing Bill.
In the first statement he has made
sine the passage of the reciprocity
bill by the senate, President Taft,
at the summer White House at Bev
erly, Mass., freely acknowledged
that his long, hard campaign in be
half of that measure would have
proved unavailing If the Democrats
had not helped him. Without such
aid the President said vci )rocity
would have been '"impossible."
? "The Democrats did not 'play pol
itics' in the coloquia sense in which
those words are used." said tho Pres
ident, "but they followed th-J dictates
of a higher policy."- For Secretary
Knox and his associates in the state
department who conducted the nego
tiations land framed V\e act the pres
ident said more than a word of
praise. These Republicans," he
said, "who fought for reciprocity and
some of whose votes were necessary
to the passage of the bill may prop
erly, enjoy mutual felicitations on a
work well done.
