g^ppr-. ROBS FARMERS^ By the Operations of the Higti Tariff Laws. WILL BE NEW LINES In the Next Campaign, ami Those Men Who Call Themselves Dem ocruts und Betray tlie Party Will Be Driven Out nnd True Men Put on Guard. While on a visit to Floreuce recently Senator Smith gave a mosl interesting resume of the tarifl fight in Congress to a reporter ol The Times. The Senator does not look for any relief for the peoplt In the present fight. The situation Is entirely too much dominated hj the rapacious "interests" of the country as represented by Aldrich and other protection leaders. They art fighting for protection everywhere and many Democrats seeing tlit tendency have scrambled for a shart of the grabbings. lie does think however, that there is enough lift in the Democratic party for it tc positively declare itself in this mat ter in the next campaign and l>: making its principles prominent with the awakening of the peoplt through the country, the lndepen dence of many of the newspapers anc their free and fearless discussioi of the question to win the hold Hit suppport of the United States. lie has made one speech on tht tariff and he has been very rnucl gratified by the reception of it b; the senate and by the party ant the people everywhere through tin country and will soon make anotlie in which ho will say many thing tha he has in mind, for he has studiei this question as he never studied be fore. lie believes that his unas sailable position on the strong rorl of Democracy has been a help ti him and to others and he is sue that the fight that is being mad now has made real Democrats am stronger in thoir Democracy, am nas made more apparent the preten sions of those who love the nam and the name only of Democracy but oppose its principles whereve they are offered. lie says tho expression of certali Democrats will result in one of tw< things, a loss of confidence in am n ropudlntion of these individual or a loss of and a repudiation o Democracy. Senator Smith evidcntl believes that the people will repudi ate the so-called l>enui<;rats, wh are voting to protect lumber am other products. He goes on to say "I believe that tho essential prin clplcs of Democracy are nearer th hearts of the people today thai ever before in the history of th country. The middle west havim been broken up into small farms the population becoming denser am the struggle for existence sharper and the products of the farm neces sarily sold in a free market, whil those things necessary for tho cul tivation and support of the farm ar to be bought in a protected market the people of this vast territory ar beginning to feel the effect of tlii unjurt legislation as the people o the South have felt since the inaugu ration of the protective policy. "Xo man need he deceived ii thinking that the South with he tremendous territory and populatioi will ever allow even in her own holders, manufacturing enterprises t he promoted at the unreasonable ex pense of her agricultural interest and thoso politicians who allov themselves to be influenced by tli< powerful plea of the organized man ufncturing Interests of the South will have a very rude, but very ef fectual awakening when the vole of the ballot is heard. Therefore I confidently expect to see pure L)e moerncy gloriously triumphant li the next election through the influ enco of the thoroughly awakene< South and middle West. "I do not want to ho understoor as being against the promotion o manufacturing interests in the South but 1 do want to he clearly under stood as opposing the promotion o any industry at the unjust oxpens< of those who produce the raw niateri al. 1 firmly believe that, at tin present state of perfected mechanical appliances that the America! manufacturer, l>oth North and South can compete profitably with tlu manufacturers In any section of tlu civilized world. The skill and in telligence of the American laborer plus the skill (if the American financier can produce more per unit ol expense than any country on tlie globe and the only protection that we need Is the protection of God /iiiiiiKniy granting us favorable seaeons. "The Democratic party should not he misunderstood under our system of government; we must have a revenue, therefore, we must have s tariff, and in placing this tariff on Imports some interests will he Incidentally "protected and In the protection that would incidentally come from this tariff for revenue there would he an advantage to that particular Interest. This Is unavoidable, but the end Justifies the means and that end Is a revenue for the expenso of the government. But (there is a world of difference between a tariff for the expense of the government and a tariff for the prflt of individuals. This distinction should be kept clearly in mind." Buried Under Ciravel. As a result of a cave-in of a grave, pit at Olive Branch. Miss., a few days ago, five negroes were killed. Tons of gravel fell 'on them, crushing their bodies. | 0 BAD MESS IN OHIO NEGRO ATTORNEY ARRESTED ON I ? Ml'RDER CHARGE. Mob Wanted to Lprh Him and His Brother, Who Has a White Woman for a Wife. Hunted all Sunday night and finally driven to bay by the police and bloodhouuds Monday, John W. Beam, of Lima, Ohio, a negro attorney and real estate dealer, accused of murder, attempted to end his own life. He was arrested on the charge of murdering Mrs. Estella M. Diltz, a young widow, who was shot Sunday night at her own home < ' j as she opened the front door In re- ^ oyyjiiav lu puiiiiuniK upuu LUtJ UUOI'. [ L lie is not seriously injured. i t While it was first thought that , i the motive for the murder had been , r found in business relations between ( Mrs. Diltz and the negro, a Bearch , 1 of Beam's papers in_ his oifice in- ( ; dicated that Beam was in love with t , the widow, but whether the crime | 1 was due to his suit being repudiated i ) or whether there was a yuarrel is , , unknown. I > A letter addressed to his wife in , ) endearing terms was found, in which \ - Beam told of his love for Mrs. Diltz, | f which had extended over two years, \ , and that his call upon her accounted 2 for his "late hours at night." In , - concluding, the letter directs: "Have 1 Estella and myself buried side by 1 side, that we may arise before the j Almlghtey Hod together." Rumors that a mob was forming, 2 with the intention of lynching Beam, i caused Sheriff Van Gunten to remove v his prisoner from the city hospital 1 to the county jail. Beam wns esb corted to Jail under a heavy guard. r Beam is now in the strongest cell t in tho jail and a strong guard is } maintained about him. I)r. U. S. Beam, a brother of the _ prisoner and a wealthy citizen of t Lima, closed his office and left for 0 his old home in Kentucky. Colored e people urged him to leave, as it was e feared he might be lynched if he j remained there. Feeling runs high 1 against him. Dr. Beam's wife is a _ white woman and this aided in ine furiating the residents against liiiu.

A few days l- ago the son went away for a three11 day trip, leaving liis mother, whose ? age is seventy-nine years, and hi.K father, aged seventy-eight years, at i. home alone. 1 Neighobrs heard groans and poundings coming from the Tarry - house and upon entering found the e old couple in agony. Doctors were - called in, but their efforts to relieve e Mrs. Tarry were futile as she died ', shortly afterward, and little hope e is held out for her husband. s Five unlabelled cans containing f white powder were found in the - kitchen.

How lees than a hundred striking Jeorgia Railroad ilremen were able o stop practically all train service u u territory 170 miles long and roni twenty-live to a hundred miles wide was the knotty problem Into Ahich United States Commissioner >t Labor Chas. P. Neill plunged lrnnedlately after his arrival at Atlana, Ga., on Tuesday night. An mlssary of conciliation he faced first he race problem, the force behind the strike; second, an " announced wish of many persons in this sec ion iu nave iji'orRians seme ir it> question by arbitration, and third, the necessity of moving the United States mail immediately. Within two hours after his arrival Mr. Neill was in private conference with General Manager Scott of the Georgia Railroad. A dispatch from Atlanta Bays what a remarkable feat this handful of union firemen accomplished and what power was behind them became apparent Tuesday when a considerable section of Georgia was compelled to rely on automobiles for passenger, mail and express service; and when the transportation of such necessities of life as food dropped back to the methods of a former degree of civilization, namely, to wagons and even pack animals. The four score firemen alone did not produce this situation. It was tho communities which the railroad served that stopped every wheel of the system during the past three days; not the oilicials of these communities, but a few men who are said to have fighting blood in their veins, who came forward and announced that negro firemen should not be given seniority over white firemen. From some hidden source of public opinion these men have up to now made good this racial ultimatum. Few of these men were firemen, some did not even claim to be acquainted with striking firemen, and a dozen or more are said to have come from counties lying some distance from the railroad. They accomplished tho tie-up without serious acts of violence, with a few cases of throwing stoucs, which appear to have been accepted as warnings of wnat might happen if trains continued to run. A settlement by arbitration should not be difficult so far as the strikers' demands are concerned. Vice President Ball, of the firemen's organization. said Tuesday, because the firemen are not trying to exact a hard and fast settlement. They struck because ten white firemen were replaced by negro firemen. The railroad officials declare that the negroes were put in these positions as rewards for faithful service, and that they are within their legal rights in such action. Upon this one crucial point of the controversy there has as yet been no sign of agreement. The dlreotors of the road, the general manager and other officials were in almost continual conference Tuesday, and it was reported that some of the directors strongly favored Governor Smith's proposition for each side to select three Georgians as arbitrators. Mr. Scott would not say whether these offers would be accepted. Tho directors include men with local business interests, which nre liable to be affected unfavorably by a long tie-up. Hand cars, automobiles and interurban cars made little impression upon the .1,000 poundH of delayed mails in the Atlanta postofflce. Here and there in the strike district a rural postmaster shouldered a sack of outgoing mail, and after hours of hard work. riding and walking, managed to reach a railroad station not affected by the strike. Reports were current that the Federal courts ?trV, f ? i ici f hiki i>iaoe guards in trains in order to get the mails through. No such action, however, leveloped. The strikers have announced that they are willing to tire engines to carry mails, but that oich engines must carry mails only, ind not passengers. Reports that the necessities of life were lacking in some communities caused Governor Smith to telegraph Gong the line of tlie Georgia Rall oad inquiring whether there was my food shortage. No replies inHeating such a condition were re elved. and numerous reports stated hat there was plenty to eat everywhere. Rusiness men, however, comdained or serious financial loss. For the first time since the hetinning of ,he strike General Maniger Scott conferred with Governor imith Ttiesday evening. Afterward he Governor said: "We discussed the situation fully, nd I am now very hopeful that some teps may he taken, which will bring bout a speedy adjustment.. In the meantime I regard It of the utmost mportance that perfect order should revail." Present at this conference were tate Attorney General Hart and lajor Jos. R.

The Official Statement of (lie Can*# Leading Vp to tlio Trouble aud Strike. There la considerable Interest In the strike of the firemen oa the Georgia Railroad. The firemen claim that their position has not been fully set forth. The official circular of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen aud Engluemen, Issued from the grand lodge headquarters at Peoria. 111., on the 19th Instant, after giving a review of previous negotiations between the fill men and the management of the Georgia railroad, Rays: "At this time ten of our members engaged as assistant hostlers at the rate of $1.75 per day, wero displaced by negroes at the rate of $1.25 per day. The joint board Immediately took up their matters with the ' general superintendent of the company and were promptly informed by him that he would not deal with them or listen to their grievances or the propositions which they desired to s>ibmlt. He also stated that he had orders from his superior officers to reduce operating expenses $1,000 per month, and that he intended carrying out such Instructions. He further stated that this was only the beginning of reductions and that more would follow. "The matter was then taken up with the general manager, who refused to do anything except to sustain the general superintendent, itit.her Ha" upon attempting to secure a conference with the general manager, was refused. "After bringing every possible influence to bear with a hope of reaching a peaceable settlement if the matter, and falling in every effort, it became apparent that It was either necessary to adjust the affair and protect the interests of our members through an issue, or permit t.he company to displace them and employ negroes at a reduced rate of pay to All the positions thus made vacant, and It was on account of these conditions that our members voted to strike. "In further explanation of the situation, I will say that the Georgia railroad and the Atlanta yard terminal are leased and operated by the Iyoulsville and Nashville and the Seaboard Air Line Comiwinles. It Is believed by the joint protective board and by the officer directly in charge of the situation, that this Is only the beginning of an attempt on the part of the company to dispense with the services of white firemen entirely and to fill their places with ffTOM." It is stated that the Louisville and Nashville employs only negro firemen. FlttlTIYK CASH IKK. / Caught l?y Detective When He Visit*. Ill CJ jit nun. After flvo months of flight through Western cities, nnd into Mexico, Edward B. Towne, Jr., has returned to his home in Orange, N. J., to see his sick son. He was quickly arrested by detectives, whose vigilance has never ceased on charges of embezzling approximately 000 from the Matheson Lead Company of that city. Towne, who is only twenty years old, rose rapidly with his employers, and was cashier when he disappeared in December. Following the discovery of his alleged shortage, it was revealed that he had been living extravagantly, having two motor cars and maintaining a residence believed to he beyond his legitimate means. It was believed that he had considerable money with him when ho disappeared. Towne quickly moved out of one city to aaother in the West and detectives were never able to catch up with him. Bnt the watch on his young wife never ceased. In some manner Towne heard of the serious illaess of his little son nnd dashed up to the house concealed in the tonneau of an automobile. Private detectives on guard summoned the police and, when the home was entered. Towne was found in an exhausted sleep on an upper floor, and was dragged away to jail. MAHOOXEI* IN SWAMP.

H. McAdams. Unless a stay of sentence Is granted pending an appeal to the supreme court of the State, Webb Simmons, the young white man who killed United States Deputy Marshal J. H. McAdaius at Anderson oil February 20 last, will be hanged In the county jail yard in Anderson on Friday, July 22. Sentence was passed ou the .prisoner H|onday morijing by Judge Dalitzler after Attorney Dagnall had completed a strong argumt nt for a new trial. The motion was overruled, and in the presence r of several hundred spectators Webb S Simmons was condemned to death. The Simmons case went to th jury at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon and near Saturday midnight a ver- ? diet of guilty without any recom- ii memlatiou was made. At ouce Mr. i< Daguall gave notieo of a motion for (. a new trial, and Judge Dantzlor announced that he would remain iu Anderson until Monday morning, ut which time lie would hear the mo- ' lion argued. Mr. Daguall presented a strong 1 plea to the court, lie said, among ' other things, that, on account of his J ow n illness, he had not b> en able to conduct the defense as it should 1 have been, but the court Interrupt- 11 ed him by saying that, in his opinion, ' the case had been zealously and admirably conducted and that the at- ^ lorue.v had looked well after the de- ' fondant's interest at all times dur- ' ing the trial. Oftier reasons for ^ asking a new trial were stated as * follows: That some of the jurors had ex- 1 pressed opinions as to Simmons' guilt 1 before the trial; that Juror Davis ' was over the constitutional age; that the court failed to charge the jury ' on the law as to self-defense; that a the jury had resented certain ques- '' tions asked the sheriff by Mr. Dag- ' nail, while the sheriff wns on the ^ stand; that the case should not have v been tried at this term of court be- s cause of personal eling against the 1 prisoner, and because of the illness tJ of defendant's mother, a material witness. Judge Dantzlor considered eepa- ' rately each reason assigned, after " which he formally denied the motion and proceeded to pass the for- 1 mal sentence of death. Simmons accepted the verdict of 11 the jury and the sentence of death a very unconcernedly ami coolly. When called upon by the clerk of court to stand up to receive sentence a thi> prisoner stood motionhss and without a tremor. From appear- " ance it did not seem that he was the '' least hit annoyed or worried, but v on the contrary seemed to accept 1 the sentence as a relief from court ' proceedings. When ask d if he hail anything to sny why sentence shoird * not be passed on him, he clearly and 1 loudly stated that lie knew of none, *' that he had nothing to say, und after the court had announced the sen- ( tence tho prisoner made a how of a acknowledgement and then quietb' sat down in the prisoner t dock, lie was at on*o handcuffed and carri.-d '' *o the county jail by (.unstable Mar- *' tin and Police Sergeant Sanders. 11 He had welling to s while walking to the jail, except to stop at a vx fruit shop to purchase a dozen halianas. Tills lie did nlso late Sat- '' urday night, while returning to the a Jail after being carried to the comt house to receive the verdict of the ' jury. Upon arrival at the jail a after sentence had been passed Mon- a day morning Simmons cheerfully saluted one of the negro prisoners, ' calling him by name and saying that he had learned to say It. Evidently the negro had been teasing Simmons about what the court would have to say in passing sentence. >\uorin y uagnall will take the case to the supreme court, ho It is c understood, and if this be the case J' it is highly probable that the execu- " tion will not take place in July. v' The supreme cottrt does not take up the cases from this winmit until ^ late in the fall or early In the winter, and unless a special dispensation " is second this appeal will have to come up in regular order. This will be Anderson's first lo- ' sal hanging in about nine years, the victim then b ing a negro convicted of assault on a white woman of ' that county. 11 TAKF.N FHOM JAIL T] Hi And Lynched by One Hundred re th Fnraged Citizens. at 3 The usual quiet village of Llnrol n "n.

New York, when the structure was packed by several hundred persons, while In the street there * were several thousand more unable to gain admission to the conclu iing services of the Noveua, or NineDays Devotion. On the alter of the church there Is a fragment of a bone, duly authenticated as belonging to St. ltita, "advocate of the hopeless and saint of the impossible,' as her Worshippers call her. The annual Noveua to the saint in this church and the reverence of the relic are credited with many marvelous cures and performances in answer to supplications. Many have declared that they have cured themselves or others of physical ailments which bullied doctors, while others have transferred to the saint's answering their prayers concerning business matters and other things in which they sought success. The rector, Father Charles Farina, read a number of letters from those Iwho had prayed to St. ltita. A detroit woman wrote a year ago she came to New York and prayj ed to St. Rita for a civil service position and soon obtained it. A boarding school girl wrote that her Novena to St. Rita had completely cured her eyes, throat aud nose. ; A man, who said ills friends ' thought he was going insane hecause of the pains he suffered iu the head, wrote that St. ltita cured lilin. A young girl relates the marvelous cure of her mother after making the second Novena to St. Ritn. A man wrote that he had been iu business troubles and prayed to t>t. Rita for advice. He then sold one of his grocery stores and prospered immensely in the store he remined, and gave the "saint of the impossible" full eerdlt. Hj A Janitor subscribed bis thanku ftjjgySfSS for the return of a bunch of keys. Such large crowds ut worshipers now attend the annual Novena to St. Rita of Cascia, that the rector is planning to increase the church's size. Girl Killed by Horse.
