Pot Senator Tillman, Who, With
the Aid of the Other Democrats,
Forces the Republicans to Give
- l T p Effort to Force (Yum on Char
leston aa Collector.
Washington, Febr #.—Senator TUI-
mah today put the nails In Cram’s
political coffin when he secured a
promise from Senator Fry, chairman
of committee on commerce, charg
ed with tho duty of handling the
nomination, that no further effort
would t>e made to confirm Crum at
the present session of Congress.
Senator Tillman got tlje floor soon
after the Senate went Into execu
tive session, and after speaking for
an honr. Senator Fry announced that
as It was evident that the South Car
olina Senator was just beginning, he
would say that under such circum
stances It would he Impossible to put
the Crum nomination through.
Senator Tillman did not at first
understand Senator Fry. He stopped
his speech and asked him what he
meant.
Senator Fry replied that ho would
not push the matter further, because
there was no apparent chance to
make the nomination stick.
Senator Tillman then left the Sen
ate chamber and other business was
taken up.
The fact that Senator Fry lias
• announced that he will not push
the case further is a complete victory
for Senator Tillman. In all he has
spoken more than eight hours on
the case. When he began the task
of defeating Crum ten days ago,
many Senators said that It could not
be donh, that President Rosevelt
would fight through Senators i^odge
Fry and 'dthers. It would lie abso
lutely impossible to block the noml
nation, and that it would put the
people of Charleston In a better light
if they would, gracefully submit ami
make no further fight.
Senator Tillman took the opposite
view, and went to work to fight as
long as there was fighting ground.
In the beginning few of his col
leagues were disposed to take part
in the matter, but day by day more
have come to his rescue until during
the past few days practically all the
Democratic strength of the Senate
has been lined up with him in the
fight.
Several days ago Senator Tillman
announced that he was not interest
ed In what became of Crum hereaf
ter, that he could get any Job he
might desire, and that his only pur
pose was in waging a successful fight
for the people of Charleston in the
determination to prevent Crum from
being again forced upon them. So
far as he knows there has been no
trade suggested, and he only wants
fcrum ousted from the collector's
office.
The way the matter stands now,
Crum will h^ve to be nominated
again, and ib is not believed by those
familiar with the situation that Pres
ident-elept Taft has any idea of do
ing so.
A few days ago certain circum
stances arose, which lent something
of a mystery to the case, and this
led to a belief that Mr. Taft had urg
ed Senator Fry to push the case. It
is almost certain now that he will
not name Crum for another term.
Today's action apparently ends the
ease with Senator Tillman, and the
people of Charleston who have furn
ished him with the ammunition to
make the fight, the victory.
Senator Tillman would not discuss
the matter tonight other than to
say: “We have won out.''

Atlanta, Feb. 10.—The Journal
Houston, Miss., Fel). 9. — Roby
Baskin, murderer of the Rev. W. T.
Hudson, was lynched by a mob here
this afternoon. A crowd of over 300
determined citizens took him from
the jail and hanged him to a nearby
ree. ^Not a ahpt was filled, and the.
whole proceeding was conducted qui
etly.
Sheriff Dean, of Okolona, arrived
Just as the negro breathed his last.
Leaders of the mob said the negro
had not been given a speedy trial as
promised, and that they could not
be blamed for taking justice into
their own hands.
The prisoner was seized without
resistance and accepted his fate as
a matter of course, sullen and with
out a word of entreaty or prayer.
He was hanged from an elm tree
within two hundred yards of the
county jail.
The representatives of the sheriff
hero declared they considered theii
action in surrendering the negro, in
view of the refusal of the court
toeall a special term, justified in the
Interest of law and order. Should
their action be criticised they declare
they will resign.
According to liaskin's confession

Dainbridgf\ Ga., Feb. 9.—Ike
Jones, a nsOtro, attempted to crlmi
nally assault the 16-year-old daugh
ter of Joe Spooner early this morn
ing.
Tho negro went to the home of
the Spooners, and there was no on
/at the place except the daughter
The negro asked where her fathe
and brother were, and the girl tool
him that they were both In th
field working. He then told he
that he wanted to buy some sau
sage. When the girl went out to
he smokehouse to get the sausage
for him, the negro followed her.^ As
he caught her around the throat
she pulled away, and ran past him
screaming, to the field, where her
brother was working-
A posse was soon organized and
succeeded in finding the negro wh<
was brought before the girl, who
identified him. He was carried to
Iron City and placed in the town
jail. There was some talk of a mol
aking charge of him, and he was
brought to Bainbrldge on the noon
lrain.
A number of citizens of the west
ern side of the county, where the
crime was committed, have followed
the negro here, and there is consid
erable uneasiness among the officials
that the negro will be lynched.
Judge Frank Park, of the Albany
circuit, is here in town and has
offered to give the negro Just as
speedy a trial as necessary, saying
that he would remain over until to
morrow, if necessary.
The same negro has been identi
fied as the one attempting an as-
--ault upon tlie daughter of another
white man in the same section some
months ago.
says a shrewd beggar with his
trionic ability In general and of
of humanity in general and of
preachers in particular, left Atlanta
last week, taking with him contri
butions from the majority''of the
local ministry. In all, he secured
fifteen or twenty dollars, a pair of
trousers, and an overwhelming num
ber of handclasps and assurances of
help.
He was a weazened little man with
a wail in his voice. Rev. H. A.
Atkinson found him on the thresh
old of his study last Wednesday.
He pointed one trembling finger at
the minister.
“I am a forger,” he said.
That was his introduction to the
ministers of Atlanta. His story was
dramatic. He said his name was
Henry McKenzie.
'For twenty-two years I was in
Sing Sing for forgery,” he told Dr.
Atkinson. “Then I was parolled
and I came' to South Carolina to try
life over again. 1 got a job. I was
living honesGy, then they found out
my past and I was fired. Since then
it has been the same thing over
again. My story follows me every
where. Once I get work and life
begins to promise something, some
pbe hears of it and I am discharged.
“I forged one check for 137,000
on J. Pierpont Morgan in my bad
days and got It cashed. That was
only one of the terrible things
did. My life was black. But
want to put all that behind me now
and live a new life, but the world
won't let me. I have paid my debt
to society and still Ft demands
more."
Dr. Atkinson gave him two dol
lars and the pair of trousers. He
also set about getting him work.
The following day, the man all
atremble, came to Rev. E. D. Ellen
wood’s study.
“I am a forger,” he said again.
Then his fingers began to work
and the tears to roll down his face
"And God help me, a morphine
fiend, too,” he cried. “But I have
determined to make a new life of
it.”
He snatched a box from his pocket
and threw it into the fire
“I shall never touch morphine
again.”
Dr. EHenwood gave half a dollar
After the man had left he took the
box from the stove. In it were some
white powders, which he showed to
a druggist. The druggist said they
were not morphine powders at all.
When he asked Dr. Ellenwood for
money, the later offered-to buy him
any food he might wish.
But you must trust me, doctor,
he said. "Trust is what I need
Trust and confidence."
He said the same thing to Dr
Atkinson.
Then he paid a visit to Dr. C. B
Wilmer, from whom he secured sev
oral dollars; dropped in to see Dr
Pise, called upon Bishop C. K
Nelson, and saw Rev. E. H. Pea/
cock, of the Baptist Tabernacle.
By Thursday l>r. Abk-j-Rson-yhad
secured him a position drivlhg

came to the minister with.Fe.

Sarah W. Lawrence, from Ne.vpo/t

News, with a cargo of coal for Bos
ton, was today blown aground on
the Hen and Chicken's Shpals off
Cape Henlopen, Del. The crew of
nine men and the captain's w if o
were rescued by the Cape Hehlop.m
life-savers. The schooner broke in
two after the ten persons had been
taken off.
They were landed at Lewes, Del.
The sea was running so high that it
was impossible for the life-savers
alone to go th the assistance of the
stranded vessel, and a tug was called
upon to tow the life-savers in a
launch Out to the schooner. The
Cape Henlopen men risked their
lives in putting their boat through
the pounding surf, but they reached
the schooner safely and just as the
hull of the Lawrence became sub
merged. Those aboard were hud-
dled on the fore house of the sunken
vessel.
The sea was running so high that
the hardy rescuers were unable to
get close to the crew and life pre
servers and ropes were brought into
use. The captain's wife was the
first taken off, and it took several
hours to effect the rescue of the
others.

LYNCHING "^N ALABAMA.
Negro Had Mistreated Little Daugh
ter of Her Employer.
Selma, Ala., Feb. 8.—News has
just reached here of the lynching of
Will Parker, a negro, near Mexla, in
Monroe county, last Saturday. The
negro had mistreated the three-year-
old daughter of N. O. Bailey, the
man for whom he worked on Friday.
A mob was formed during the night,
but the dogs were unable to take
the negroe's trail until the following
morfiing. He was found in a corn
crib, and when the sheriff’s posse
arrived, about half an hour later,
frdm Monroeville, they found the
negro's body hanging to a tree. -
The Columbia Record says for
some time Commissioner E. J. Wat

Mr. Wilhelm Dickson, a director of
the Swedish-Amerlphn steamship
company, with headquarters at Got

The object of the conference is
to look into the feasibility of open

lines.
Mr/ Dickson is a prominent ex

NEGROES FATALLY III UN ED.
Atlanta, Feb, ft.—The Journal
says while comparing with the Infa
mous Whitechapel murders of twen
ty years ago, the Dayton girl murders
have no parallel in American crime
annals. —- -
Altogether, it appears, five young
women were mysteriously murder
ed and the police theory is that all
were struck down by the same
fiendish hand.
This may or may not be true. It
is a fact, however, that five young
women of about the same age and
social condition, have been myste
riously murdered in the Ohio city
and there are various tangible cir
cumstance's which seem to connect
the crimes.
The police call the supposed mur
derer “ack the Strangler,” from the
fact that all of the girls were ap
parently killed by the clutch of a
monster’s hand upon the throat.
The latest victim was pretty
Elizabeth Fulbart. a little country
girl, who went to Dayton to obtain
employment. The day after her ar
rival she disappeared. It is believ
ed that she was lured into a vacant
l^ouifd, in the resident di^ridt
strangled to death, otherwise abus
ed and dropped into a cistern in
the rear of the dwelling.
Two workmen happened to open
the old cistern, a week after the girl
disappeared, and discovered the
body, floating oh the water. It was
fished out 'through the manholp
through which it liad been dropped
and soon identified by the girl's
tirothor. The girl was fully/dress

Anna Markowitz, 18, was assault

an unknown man while walking in

Ada Lantz, 13, after an assault,
was thrown into a vault In the rear

of several men, who failed to render
any appreciable service. One got
his hands severely burned while
doing what he could to aid her.
Yesterday came news of the burn
ing of Mellard Wood s house and
two-year-old child, while father
and mother were some distance away

KEEPING A BATTLESHIP.
ROBBER KILLED AT LACHENS
Known us Sheney Mike, Buried in

I’ostofflce Inspector Gregory say the
yegg man killed here in a fight with
policemen, January 28th, was known
as “Sheney Mike,” or “Kentucky
Sheney," originally of Louisville.
This is based on a statement from
a reform safe blower living in Bos

noon his body was buried in the Pot

What it Costs the Government to
Keep One l’p.
Washington, Feb. 8.—-Responding
to a resolution'trrtrcrduced by Sena
tor Clay, a report was sent to the
senate today by Secretary of the
Navy Newberry, saying"OTat it costs
$1 09,85 6 to keep a first class bat
tleship In repair and good condition
for one year. This figure was obtain
ed by taking the average of the cost
of keeping seventeen battleships In
repair for the fiscal year, 191L8.
It does not include extraordinary
repair incident to taking a ship out
of commission remodeling, or recon
structing it.
The cost of coal used on battle
ships for the fiscal year, 1908, was
$3,163,902 ami this amount was in
creased by transportation and stor
age charges to $5,6 14,945. The
coal was bought from sixteen com
panies at prices varying from $2.60
to $.675 per ton, the variation being
due to the state of the market, the
number of tons per contract, and
the distance of delivery.
