f SITTIAIBS TO OLI) ACE Famous Commander ami His Kanjeers Struck Terror to Foc> Fifty Years Aga. Washington, May 30.?Col. John S. Mushy, famous Confederate raider of the War Between the Sections, died at a hospital here early today. Death was due to old age. He will be buried at his old home, Warrenton, Va., at 9 o'clock Thursday morning and survivors of his band that made history will be pallbearers. Col. Mosby, who was in his S3rd year, had been in po<>r health about six months. Three weeks ago he was removed to a hospital when it was apparent that his condition was seri. ous. He was conscious until within an hour of his death and at all times took a keen interest in political and national questions. Many members <>f his old command visited him during his illness. Present at his deathbed wre his sister. Miss lilakely Mosby; his three daughters, Miss Ada Mosby, Miss Pauline Mosby and Mrs. S. M. Coleman of Washington. Another siste> and two .on; also surviw hup. The passing of the famous Con.citrate commando.- jtt Memoria. Day was a sad feature of the holiday here. He had lived ;q Washing! on many yeais, having ?ti one time been employed at the department of justice. He was a wflter of some note, contributing article:; dealing with the tributing articles dealing with the War Between the Sections and personal reminescences to newspapers and magazines. Col. Mosby was a picturesque fig ure in the capital and up to a few months ago he walked daily through the downtown section of the city. Age had not bent his erect ligure nor dimmed his eye and it was seldom that he passed through the crowded streets that he was not recognized. It is related of him that he attended only one reunion, that of "Mosby's Men" at Aleandria Va., 23 years ago. He was so affected, it is said, that he never desired to go to another. Col. Mosby dared death over 30 years ago when at the head of a band of a few hundred Confederate raiders lie rode up and down the Shenandoah valley, capturing outposts, destroying supply trains, and cutting off means of communication. It has been estimated that he often neutralized the the force of over 15,000 Federals in teh valley. Born in Fowliatan county, Virginia. December 6. 1S33, and graduated from the University of Virginia in 1S32, he was practicing lay in Bristol, Va., when the war broke out and he began his career in the Confederate army. He proved his daring with such _ _ effect that ho became a scout for Gen. J. E. B. Stuart and led the celebrated raid around McClellan's army on the Chickahominy. In Richmond a year later he recruited an independent cavalry troop which became famous as Mosby's Partisan Rangers. They became night raiders and the terror of the Federal troops. Mosby's most brilliant exploit was I the capture of Gen. Stoughton. On a March night in 1S63 he, with 30 followers, rode through the Federal army at Fairfax Court House, only 15 miles front Washington, where Gen. Stoughton was asleep. Although surrounded by an army said to have been 17,000 strong, the rangers calmly kid- j napped the general^ his staff and | many sentries, and turned them over ! to the Confederate authorities at Cul-' pepper without losing a man. he closing years of his life were i spent in lecturing and writing. His j home lay across the I'otomac, at War-: renton, Va., but he was often seen in Washington, his white hair and strong Roman features making him : a picturesque figure on the streets or lecture platform. Ho had written "Mosby's War Reminescences." "The Dawn of the Real South," and ; "Stuart's Cavalry Campaign." lb- was j was also known a? a Greek scholar. "My military creed." he once do-; % elared, is this: "It is better t-. make a . good run than a bd stand." EVER SALIVATED 111 CALOMEL!j llOItltfKLE! ? !

Washington, May 2~>.?Vigorous language, equalling almost that employed in the last eommunication to Germany. is understood to characterize the notes delivered to the British and French embassies here yesterday protesting against interference with neutral mails on the high seas. Outlines of these communications have been cabled to London and Paris by the embassies and the full text will be forwarded by mail. It is undeistood there is no substantial difference as to principle between the state department and the London and Paris chancellors regard lug tne uroau question 01 uiviuiauuuy at first class mails on the high seas. The American objection is based rather on the methods employed by the allied governments in handling these mails. The United States does not conL-ede the right to even inspect first class mails in transit on the high seas, assuming that these do not include anything more than correspondence and are not made the vehicle lor the supply of contraband to the belligerents. Will Salvage Vessels Sunk in Storm And Wur. New York, May 30?An American company is going to try to salvage ill the big ships sunk by German submarines. The company was incorlorated at Albany with $125,000 capi,al. and is called the Interocean Subnarine Engineering Company.

Terra Haute, Ind., May 30.?On May 21 an automobile driven by Loo O. Bab-s ran down and hilled Leonard Harold, aged 13. Bales died yesterdcy of a broken heart, although he was round blameless of the accident :iinl exonerated by City Judge Newt"ii in a letter written at the request of I tales' physician in the hope of saving the man's life.

Washington, a. C.?Though farm ers usually tyel little interest Ir railway labor disputes and are dls posed to think t^at such troubles an remote from theai and cannot toucl them directly, hi the pending ques tion between ifie Brotherhoods oi freight trainmen^and the railways o; the country the, railways evidentlj are making special efTort to inforn the farmers on dhe points involvec and to enlist their attention. It is argued bp the railroad man agers that the Aral disposition of th( dispute will be njade.by public sent! ment. They reason that the farmer when it comes ' to a final "show down," really cciitrols not only ,th( political power Hut the sentiment oi nearly all the sties. Therefore, thej are trying to appeal to his horst sense. They are sending out a gooc deal of literature directed especiaiu to the farmers?probably the flrsl time such a course has been taker in any great lakor struggle. The) say they are convinced of the gene ral public's confidence in the horse sense, the InsigM and the fairness ol the American farmer, and that, there fore, his influence must be powerful High Wa^i Now Paid They are dwelling especially on the argument that the freight trainmer already are the highest paid laborers in the world. Thlsy submit figures tc show _UiaL-UmMli^n8tances freight train employeesEm from ^75.00 t month for the tflinmen, or "brake man" as they ueA to be called, tc 1250.00 a month B* engineers, work inig from 22 tojp5 days a month They are askingl farmers to inquire into the facts and convince them selves that most] of the talk of ex cessive hours of jabor on railways is empty and contradicted by the facts. .More than sixteen hours of continu ous work in railway service is for bidden by law. The instances ol men kept on duty so long as sixeen hours are a very small fractional per centage of the total employment; they become less every year, and al most invariably are due to accident or some unusual weather conditions. The managers of the railway com panies paint out that the farmer him self accustomed to from twelve tc fouiteen hours a day of steady worlt rarely earns in a year as much cash money as a trainman on duty from ten to twelve hours, and never con Hminncir at wort ran earn, restinc from labor from one-fourth to one third of his time. In the south it is a familiar maxim that "it takes thirteen months to make a cotton crop." The man who raises ten bales of cotton gets for it from $450.00 to $500.00 and from this must pay his fertilizei bills and labor. The trainmen are sail to average $800.00 a year, this being the estimate of the Brotherhood leadJ f . MICHELIN- F [MIC? | | II MICHEL |j j I 11 we not h; !! Ill "l *" 11 \llbk i |l| Aflrhetln ReJ I !

If the trouble should . develop a general strike of the freight i train employees, resulting in a tie up of traffic, the farmer would be un able to ship out what he raises or i to get in what he wants. He will be . asked to consider whether the rail[ roads should be crippled by being t compelled to pay 25 per cent increase r in wages to men already receiving i far more than the average prosper1 ous farmer, with resulting injury to the farmer himself?and if the rail. roads are compelled to grant the inj crease and have to raise their freight . rates, the farmer will have to pay a big part of the increase. ) The present agitation is nominally j for the substitution of an eight-hour r workday in place of the present ten> hour schedule, but in reality it is a I mova for an increase of wages.? r rnnaueipnia evening ouneuu. t ' * + It Is calculated that if a + t general tie-up and paralysis of + ? all freight traffic should result + from the demand of the freight + trainmen for an Increase of 25 + per cent in thfir wages, a large + t number of the poorer people of + f New York City would face star vation within three days; in + other words, these people have + available supplies of food for + not more than two days ahead. + ^ Other large cities would face + like conditions. Milk supplies + would be cut off, and babies de- + + pendent on the daily milk jar + + for sustenance would be left + to perish. The distress would + reach all classes everywhere. + + Would Tax All Munitions Plants to Increase Revenue. Washington, May 31.?AVork on general revenue legislation >va3 takeu ' up in earnest today by the House Ways and Means Committee Democrats. Representative Hill of Tennessee, author of the income tax law, ( submitted drafts of three bills for the j committee's consideration. One would increase the surtax of the income tax law so as to raise approximately $1<>0000,000 additional; another is designed to raise about $ "(),000,000 by means of a tax on inheritances; and the third proposes a tax on munition plants through which some $40,000,O00 would be raised. The Democrats of the committee already have adopted the tariff commission plan, an antij dumping clause and a provision dei ! signed to prevent unfair price dis crimination in the sale of l'oreign. made goods. ^? mmmmmm OUNDSD-1832 i||| lELINjl :i~?TTTXI?
