FOUND IN LAKE Whether Suicide or Accident Is Not Known WAS FROM AUGUSTA Former Liquor Merchant of Georgia City Discovered by Officer at Daybreak Floating on West bide of the Colonial Fond, Charleston, S. C., Nude and Dead. The Charleston Post says Policeman White found the nude body of a white man at the west side of Colonial Lake, near the flood gate, Tuesday morning at daybreak, and investigation showed that he was drowned. iiic /.i-n. ? ----- u *41.1 V4UIUV9 WCitJ 1UUUU at IUU UWilU side of the gate. The man was a total stranger, but The Evening Post, following up a clue found on his person, verified the evidence that he was Oscar Vlllinger , of 416 Houston street, Augusta. Undertaker Stuhr took charge of the body at the instance of Mr. C. 11. Reaney, who Is said to be connected with the dead man, and who received a long distance message from Augusta to have the body taken care of. Coroner O'Donell hurried to the lake a few minutes after the call cr.nje to him from the police station, and he had the body removed from the shallow water where it was lying face downward and It was taken to the Roper hospital to await identification. There were no marks of violence on tho body, which was quite nude. The clothes of the deceased were discovered on the concrete curbing near the place where his body was found, and the water all about was only from two to four feet deep, indicating that he must nave token a plunge last night some time, perhaps with the intention of cooling off. or with intention of making an end of himself. Nothing was found in his clothes but a recommendation written in February, 1908, by a Mr. A. P. Pndgett, of 1301 Broad street, Augusta. au envelope that gave his wife's adrress in Augusta, and bore his name and general address. Charleston, and a half written note, containing the words: "Can't write much. I am still nervous." The envelope found with his name on it in a woman's handwriting, was covered with illegible writing and a Rood deal of figuring. Words Ilk*1 "work." "beg," "sleep," "Monday," were made out. There Is no doubt that the death of the man came about by drowning, but whether It was deliberate or accident Is a hard matter to decide. The stranger was evidently In very humble circumstances, and apbut failed to find It. It Is possible but failed to find it It is posibb1 that he was overcome with weakness from hunger, and when he fell into or dived into the water for his cooling plunge, he was unable to help himself, even in a shallow depth. The deceased was apparently between forty and fifty years of age. Comparatively few people saw the body in the pond, as it was removed as soon as possible to the morgue. An early morning oarsman helped to get the body out of the water, and the police patrol wagon took it over to the hospital. Following up the clue given by th.? enveiope, a telegram was sent to Augusta by The Kvening Post, resulting in a message to Charleston to Mr. Reaney, a stenographer at the Burton lumber mills. The first ideutific.ation of the dead man came from this message to Charleston. It is understood that a widow and children survive the victim of the drowning. TURKS AND SYRIANS FIGHT.

Because he was put off a Seaboard Air Liue train on which he was stealing a ride. Solomon Shepard. a negro. according to his own confession made at Durham, N. C.. Monday. shot and killed Engineer Holt. The crime was committed last December, but the negro was arrested only a few days ago in Columbus. I Ohio, where his connection with the case was first learned through his protestations of Innocence of it. The police had taken hitn in custody on another ckurge. In his confession Shepard snid he was returning to Durham from Efland, 19 miles away, after a visit to his sweetheart, when the killing occurred. Me said he remained in Durham until six weeks ago. Shepard spent a whole day reading his Bible recently and "getting religion." and when Dr. N. M. Johnson entered the jail to minister to a sick prisoner he called him to the door of his cell and laid bare the facts in the mysterious murder. Shepard so s that in the night of the tragedy he was kicked off a train by a brakeman and was in search of the brakeman to kill him when he found him, with several other men, 011 the cab talking with Engineer Holt. Crawling nearer the engine he raised his gun and fired, the shot striking the engineer. He then walked up the track, and seeing a light in the Green berg house, fired at it "just to scare somebody." It was this latter incident that had much to do with the arrest of Reuben Rari-ee, #110 had had trouble with the (Jreennergs and who is now in Jail charged with the murder of Holt. Shepard says that he was in Durham at the time of Barber's arrest and remained until about six weeks ago. He denies that he had a white accomplice in his crime. On the strength of the negroe's confession Barbee's attorneys have asked for their client's release. HKLI) FOR CRIMINAL ASSAFLT. Man Arrested on Charge of \Vrouging Young ( 11I.

Both parties are white, and the crime has shocked all Savannah. The testimony brought out the fact that DeCris, as he ia best known, made a habit of going among the poorer classes and offering to get positions for the girls in the family, 'n this case he was on the way to 1 bogus canning factory to get the voting girl a place to work. He took her into a secluded place and hen committed his dastardly deed. DeCris claimed he was nowhere near he place at the time, but a long list of witnesses testified to having seen him with the girls, one other taving accompanied him on the same mission, and having been left behind under a slight excuse. DeCris is a brother of Mamie DeCris. the diamond queen, who several years ago, made most sensational charges against a Georgia penitentiary keeper. There is little sympathy for the man here, and DeCris' trial will be awaited with much interest. LAVS WOXDROl'S KGGS.

FREE TIE FIGHT AGAINST THK STRRL TRl'ST IS LOST, OF COUIISR. Ten Republicans Voted With the IH?mocrats to Give the Farmers of the South Justice. In his Washington letter to The State Zach McGee says both the South Carolina senators took an active part in the fight to put cotton ties on the free list today. They in fact practically led the fight, the amendment being proposed by Senator Culberson, who had arranged with the Carolina senators to speak. But it was of no use; the Aldrlch machine, which i? nnH??r oi-o,i I Rations to the steel trust, voted it I down. Senntor Aldrich made the I plea that since there were large deI posits of iron in certain Southern I States, the South ought to be makI ing its own cotton ties and the I Southern senators ought to be against J any effort to put ties on the free I list. Senator Tillman replied that as a J matter of fact, the South did not I make any cotton ties and could not I make any, owing to the dominance I of that business by the steel trust. I Senators Oliver of Pennsylvania I and Lodge of Massachusetts stated 1 that the Southern cotton farmer actI ually makes money off of bagging I and ties because he buys bagging I and ties for about 3 cents a pound I and sells the bagging and ties at I the same price as the cotton. Senator Smith completely refuted J this by showing that the Liverpool I buyers deducted for bagging and tleH ! per cent, and then fix the price I of the whole world, this 6 per cent I being taken out l>efore the price I of the cotton is fixed In America. I Senator Smith got into a spirited I colloquy with Messrs. Oliver. Ix>dge land others over this point, and thus I demonstrated to the senate what he I could do in running debate, it was I clear to all that he was a master I of the subject and the best Informed I man In the senate on the subject I of cotton. 1 Cotton bngging was put oil the free I list Monday moruiug. without a dlI vision, but the steel trust was not I concerned in thnt. The senate voted I down the tie proposition. 38 to 31. The following Republicans voted I with the Democrats for free ties: I Meveridge, Hristow, Drown, Clapp I Crawford. Cummins, DuPont, JohnI son, LaFolette and Nelson. ZACH McGK9. PIT OX FRKK LIST. I Cotton Hugging Amendment Accepted by Senate. Without debate the Senate Mondaj I placed cotton bagging on tho frc< I list and agreed to the House rate ol I three-tenths of a cent a pound on (cotton ties. This item will still hav< I to run the gauntlet of the confer mp iiousc rate being six-tenthf of a cent per square yard. Thf amendment regarding cotton bagging was offered by Senator McLaurin, ol Mississippi, and covered bagging foi cotton, gunny cloth and similar fabrics, suitable for covering cotton. This action was followed bj agreement to the entire paragraph which also included binding twine upon the free list. WILL TAKK HIM HOME. Iticli Woman Finds Sou a Hotel Waiter. Mrs. Robert H.
