HOW DID HEME?
k Railroad President Shot to Detth
Mysteriously in His Home.
SUICIDE OR MURDER
Family Claim Burglar Did Shooting.?Possible
Fraud lmplicatioi
and Fear of Disgrace Advanced as
Theory for Suicide.?Demi Man's
Associates Not Surprised.
Ira G. Rawn, president of the
Chicago. Indianapolis and L,ouisvilIe
Railroad (the Monoa Route,) died
of a bullet wound, at his summer
residence in Winnetka. fifteen miles
north of Chicago, early Wednesday
morning.
Members of Mr. Rawn's family
say he was killed by a burglar. The
police are working on a theory that
Mr. Rawn killed himself. As a basis
of their suicide theory, the police
advance the following reasons:
They point to the fact that Mr.
Rawn was operating vice president
of the Illinois Central Railroad at
the time fraudulent car repair contracts
were put through and that
recently he was drawn into the Illinois
Central graft investigation as
a chief witness.
They sow that the action of Mr.
Rawn's relatives in refusing to aid
the Chicago detective department to
search for the alleged murderer is
suspicious.
They declare that there exists a
lack of convincing evidence that an
intruder hurt nctnnllv been in the
Rawt? residence.
Mrs. Kauri, wife of the dead man;
R. I*. Ooburn, his son-in-law; Mrs.
Coburn and two children, and three
maids were in the houso when the
tragedy occurred.
Mrs. Kawn says that her husband
was aroused from sleep at half past
one o'clock in the morning by a
noise on the first floor of the residence.
She says Mr. Rawn picked
up a revolver in his room on the
second floor and started down-stairs
and was down in the hall when two
shots were fired. A minutes search
of the front hall and adjoining rooms
of the residence, however, show but
one bullet, that fired from the revolver
of Mr. Rawn and which ap- (
parently had passed through Mr.
Rawn'ti body just below the heart.
Coroner Peter Hoffman took personal
charge of the investigation into
the death. He refused to say
whether he thought the case was one
of murder or suicide. He stated,
h?wover, that powder marks had
been found on Mr. Rown's night J
gown, indicating that the bullet
which killed Mr. Hawn was fired at 1
close range.
Friends and business associates of '
the deud man say that he has been '
looking badly for several weeks '
Some attributed Mr. Rawn's worrio.1 1
expression to the investigation of the '
conspiracy by which the Illinois- '
Central claims it was mulched out ?
of hundreds of thousands of dollars. *
This is now going on In court. 1
On two successive days last week I
Mr. Rawn begged for and secured a I
postponement of his examination as f
a witness on the plea that his wife ?
was ill.
His examination was scheduled to
he takeu up again next Tuesday.
Mr. Rawr left the Illinois Central
Rullroad in November, 1909, and became
president of the Monon. Earlj
this Spring the Illinois Central fraud
came to light. Though the investigation
is not in such shape that any
criminal responsibility for the frauds
is fixed, it is declared that the reputation
of Bonie persons involved

practically blotted out.
At the first hearing before Master ' (
in Chancery Thomas J. Taylor, Jr., t
Mr. Rawn testified that the car re- t
pair contracts all came under his <
supervision. Ilo admitted that he (
was responsible for farming out the ?
cars to the various repair commit- f
tees. I

TAXES WILL BE LOWER
STATE IIOAIID REDUCES MILL
ASSESSMENTS.
From a Sixty Pep Cent. llnsiH to a
v Pi?f (Vn* ltn^iu Itv liter \lia_ .
jority.
As its meeting in Columbia on
Wednesday the State board of equalization
decided by a vote to 33 to 8
to assess cotton mills, cotton oil mills;
and fertilizer plants on a fifty per;
cent, basis, instead of 60 per cent as
formerly. This action was taken
upon motion of Mr. John Shuler. of
Orangeburg, following the argument
earlier in the day of Mr. F. Helton
Grier, and several speeches in the
afternoon on the matter. There was
a proposition to make the assessment
on a 40 per cent, basis, but this was I
withdrawn as was the proposition to J
assess the corporations on the samej
basis as heretofore with the under- [
standing that on improvements the
basis should be 50 per cent.
Mr. Grier represented the cotton'
mills of the State, through the Asso- j
elation, which the mills are n i fully ;
satisfied with the 50 per cent basis, |
it is realized that this was the best'
that could be had.
Tho most vigorous argument I
against the action taken by the board !
was that of Mr. Jeremiah Smith. !
of Horry, who said that the coastal |
lands are assessed enough now; that
there is much real estate that is valueless
to the farmer on account of
swamp lands and other property that
does not produce anything, and that
the farmer is now bearing sufficient
taxes.
Mr. Smith, who made a proposition
at a former meeting that 100
per cent be the basis and over whose
protest he 60 per cent basis was
adopted, declaring that although tJie
land v 'lues have been Increased the
same h s not been true of the property
i:i! 'er discussion. He made an
impassioned plea that the motion of
60 per cent basis be killed. The
vote on the Shuler motion resulted.

WlIJi I IK IN THE RACK.
An Emphatic Statement Made by
Speaker Camion.
Joseph G. Cannot, will not take
himself out of the race for the
Speakership, of the next House of
Hepresentatives. This he made plain
near the conclusion of his speech at
fimporia, Kan., Monday afternoon.
He said he would abide by the will j
jf the Republican caucus if the Re- '
publicans control the next Congress. |
jut that no "muckraking magazine" j
ould make him say he would not he |
i candidate. In other words, he !
aid, he would not make an effort to
vin the Speakership; yet the emthasis
with which he spoke made it
>laln that if the Republican caucus
should nominate him he would be
willing to serve.
There Is Much to Learn.
From all accounts the average
'armer In this country does not more
han half farm his land. That Is.
le does not get from the land more
han one half of what he would get 1
f the land were properly cultivated,
t is said that the yield per acre of
wheats, oats and other crops is not
>ne half of what the European farm- ,
?r gets. Some may say that this is
lue to difference of climate and soil.
Rut that does not account for it
onsidering that in almost any disrict
in this land experience shows
hat a farm systematically ami tliormchly
cultivated will produce often
vs ice as much as the adjoining farm. (
The one remedy, apparently, is to
set hack to the land, have smaller
farms and go in for intensive fuming.
This plan is being adopted by
many fnriners with profitable remits.

FIGURES CAUSE ALARM.
Among Republicans Because They
Help the South.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says because
the population figures of a few of
the Southern towns, taken under the
rew census, have shown big increases
over the figures of 1900, leading
men in the Republican party have
become thoroughly alarmed, and
have begun a movement to keep the
representation from the Southern
Ftates in the 63d Congress from being
increased.
Two Places in Virginia I.vnrh. !
burn and Christ ianshurg. have
shown big increases and the same
it true of two Georgia towns, Fitzgerald
and Haw kinsville. In Texas
nearly all of the fifteen or twenty
counties, which have had their population
figures made public, show
big gains. The same is true of Oklahoma
and Tennessee.
It is said that these, being widely
scattered, indicate that the general
growth all over the South has
been large; in fact, much greater
than any one expected, and that if
the same ratio is kept up representation
from that section must of
necessity be increased. To forestall
such an Increase in membership
't is proposed to begin the downward
movement now.
KfTorts made to ascertain whether
or not President Taft was interested
ir the movement faLled to disclose
anything tending to show that he
was cognizant of it, but it is understood
that Congressman Dennett, of
Few York, and others, who are leading
in the proposed cut. made him
acquainted with their plans before
1 e went to Beverly. That the movement
is on in earnest is r.ot denied

A peculiar freak of lightning is
reported from Belvedere, in Aiken (

ris. a well-known citizen at that i
place, the family were sitting on the I
front porch, when a sniail thundei i '
storm came up. As the storm ap- 1
proae.hed, the family got up from 1 1
the porch and went into the house
Just as they were closing the door '
the lightning struck a tree in the
front yard. The bolt ran from the '
tret* to the porch, and knocked over
the chairs, which had been vacated 1
only a moment before. Had the
lighting been a niomeut earlier, they
would have been struck. The es- . 1

DUG UP BONES
An Old Cemetary is Dog Into by Ditch
Diggers in Charleston.
SKELETONS ARE FOUND
The Honrs of a Man of Huge Stature
Discovered in Oue of Several
Collins that Were Found.?In
Another l'laee Several Old Cunnon
ltalls Were Dug l'p.
No one would suppose that there
was nine.* i." mystery or any tinge
of romance i:i the work of the hardv
ditch-diggers who are laying the
sewerage pries in various streets in
the city of Charleston, says the News
and Courier, but mystery and romance
have a way of turning up
where they are least expecte-l, and
only the other day one of the gangs
ran into something that made the
negroes who wield the pick and shovel
feel nervous and apprehensive of
what mi'zht follow as the result of
Interfering with the long sleep of
those who had passed from earth
many years ago.
The News and Courier then goes
on to relate the following: On
Queen street, between Franklin and
Logan, just opposite the Medical College,
the pickmen found a grave yard
about four feet beneath the surface,
r.nd being compelled to stick to their
work, for the sewer pipes must be
laid, grave yard or no grave yard,
and in spite of the danger of rousing
the wrath of ghosts, they unearthed
before long seven coffins. All
these were badly decayed and fell
apart as soon as an attempt was
made to lift them to the surface.
Of the bodies that they had once
contained only the skeletons were
left, and these quickly decomposed
on coming in contact with the air.
Several Of the skeletons were t.hnne
of children or -iiu'i; women, bu*
there was one especially that filled
the laborers with wonder as they
looked upon it. It was the skeleton
of a man, and such a man! More
than six feet four inches tall, with
shoulders of wonderful breadth and
big bones that made up a frame of
remarkable strength, iie must have
been well-nigh a giant.
The negroes looked at the white
bones and wondered; and white men
who saw the crumbling vestiges of
what must have been ane of the finest
specimens of physical manhood
in the South, were curious to know
whether some record of this Hercules
who had been laid to rest in this
forgotten cemetery long ago, might
not be found somewhere and the history
of the man brought back to
mind.
On Ashe street the diggers came
across cannon balls t.hat had evidenta.!ly
beeu fired during the Revolutionary
war. They were of a
kind unknown during t.he War Between
the States, and were evidently
much more ancient, each of thenweighing
not more than four or five
founds. In addition to these several
smaller grape-shot were unearthed
