BY SO-CALLED WITCH
Troops Sent to District to Subdue
Savages, Arrest Two Broth-
ers of Ruler.
By Private Leased Wire.
Manila, June 14.—Army officers to
day received word from the Island of
Mindanao that Lieutenant Edward C.
Bolton and an American planter named
Christian had been treacherously mur
dered by a Moro chief known as Mun-
galayon.
Lieutenant Bolton, and ChrlsUan,
whose plantation is In the district of
Davao, where Mungatayon rules the
natives, had been guests of the chief
on the night before the murder.
There ts some fear that the Moros
are about to begin a religious war and
the planters on the Island are organis
ing for safety. A so-called witch has
greatly excited the natives recently
against the American residents.
A body of regulars and some Island
constabulary, under Colonel W. S.
Scott, Is now endeavoring to subdue
them. Chief Mungalayon and his two
brothers have been arrested. They are
suspected of the murder.

BECAUSE DINNER WASN’T READY
AND HER HUSBAND KICKED HARD
SIX-MONTHS WIFE TRIED SUICIDE
W
HEN Mrs. Carrie Lancaster,
a pretty young woman of 10
years, a bride ’ of Just six
months, Wednesday afternoon jokingly
told her hubby, .C. M. Lancaater, to
leave home If he wanted to, she saya
he took her at her word, and promptly
left the bouse, 1 Louise street
As the hours passed by and Lancas
ter failed to return, the- young wife
began to brood over her remark, and
at 7 o'clock had become desperate, de
termining to end her life. To accom
plish this rash deed, ahe swallowed a
portion of the contents of a bottle of
laudanum.
Shortly afterwards, shs Informed a
neighbor of what ahe had done, and
the Grady hdspltat waa quickly notl-
Ue,l, the young woman being hurried to
that institution In an ambulance. It
«as ascertained ehe had not taken a
fatal dose, and It waa only a abort
time until her system had been freed
of the poison. She had recovered her
normal condition Thursday, and was
ahte during tho day to return to her
home. >
Dinner Wasn't Rtsdy.
The young bride says she was Indis
posed Wednesday, and that her hus-
hnntl quarreled with her because she
<ll<i not have his dinner prepared when
he came home at. 1 o'clock In the
afternoon. She says he threatened to
leave home, and that she remarked,
merely to teaae him:
"Well, leave If you want to. See how
mm h 1 will care.”
The husband left and the wife soon
demonstrated just bow much she did
tare.
This Is the second. unsuccessful at-
I'mpt made by Mrs. Lancaster to com
mit suicide, laudanum being used on
both occasions. The nrst attempt was
mule last summer, before the young
‘"man became a bride.
At that time, she resided with her
mother. The latter's health began to
loll, and she left here and went to St.
Louis. The daughter became despond
ent over her mother’s condition, and
'In hied to end her troubles with a big
do*e of la&danum. She swallowed two
phials of the poison, and was taken
to tirady hospital.
After she was out of danger, she was
Informed by the physicians that ahe
had taken too much of the drug to’
kill her. .
Remembering this statement, and
desiring to profit by It, the young
woman, when ahe again tried sulcldr
Wednesday night, swallowed only t
small quantity of laudanum. She mis
judged the poison again, however, for
she soon found she had not taken
enough.
When seen Thursday morning, Mrs.
Lancaster, with her pretty brown locks
falling In confusion about her head
and face, smilingly remarked:
"I am done with poison and attempts
at suicide. I have failed twice, and
am going to quit. It’a all nonsense,
any way, to want to kill yourself, and
I'm not going to try It any more "
The Young Bride Telks.
In answer to questions as to the
cause that prompted the attempt of
Wednesday, the young bride said:
"Oh, It was all a lot of foolishness.
It was just this way: l was feeling
III yesterday, and remained In I
during the morning. You see, 1
feel like doing anything but just stay
In bed. When my husband came home
to dinner at 1 o'clock, he got mad be
cause I had not cleaned the house and
prepared dinner, and he began to quar
rel with me. He told me that If I
could not do the work about tho house
any better than that, he would simply
leave home. I answered In a joking
way that he could leave If he wanted
to, and see how much I would care. Of
course, you know I didn't mean thla. I
waa only teasing him. But, then, he
did not see It that way, It seems, and
he left. When he failed to come back,
I got sorry for what I had done, and
I Just kept worrying until I decided to
kill myself. And then I swallowed the
landanum. But I sure am glad It did
not kill me.” • . . .
Mrs. Lancaster said her husband
bad not been to see her and had sent
her no word. She had one of the hos
pital nurses tor telephone to her hus
band's place 'of business Thursday
morning, but she failed to reach him.
Mrs. Lancaster said ahe did not know
whether her hubby would come back
to her or not.

Vacillation was again shown Wed
need ay afternoon at a meeting of the
tax committee of council when the II
cense for wholesale liquor.dealers, sell
Ing from one -quart up to live gallons,
was raised from $200 to $400, and all
wholesalers were put In this single
claaa. The committee held session from
$ o'clock until 6 In the mayor’s par
lors, where were crowded some thirty
wholesale and retail liquor men. with
their attorneys. The first move of the
committee gome weeks agowa* to ln<
crease the liquor license to $600. .In
council the committee asked to with
draw thla ordinance, pp.that the llcens*
should he the Hume os previously. I>
was referred back to committee and the
license restored. Then came the change
made Wednesday.
Startling Allegations.
The meeting Wednesday waa charac
terlied by the startling allegations
made by Attorney Ligon Johnson,
member of tbe firm of Arnold A Ar
nold, who In his argument against rais
ing the wholesale liquor tax declared
that Bluthenthal A Bickert, wholesale
liquor dealers of this city, had formed
a mighty trust of retail liquor houses
and were striving to throttle all com
petition. Hla attack on "Old Joe'
whisky also caused much comment.
After leading up to the subject by giv
ing figures showing the firm mentioned
Imported 400 barrels of cologne spirits
monthly, 6,000 barrels a year, he read
the report of Stale Chemist McCand-
less, which states:
artificial whisky, made from cologne
spirits and colored with caramel."
Attorney Courtland 8. Winn, re_._
aentlng some fifty retail dealers, whose
names were signed to the petition ask
ing that the "bottle men" be put on the
same basis with the retail men, aa they
were close competitors, based his argu
ment along the line that tha retail men
are paying a tax of $1,160 per annum,
that they are under heavy expense for
bar and other fixtures as well aa for
rents, which are raised because of the
restrictions placed on saloons. His
speech was a strong one and carried
much weight.
“Forced to Sign Petition.”
Mr. Johnson opened hla speech by
charging that the retail men had at-
tempted to railroad the matter of li
cense through council. He then said
that a number of the saloon men Who
had been forced to sign Mr. Winn's pe
tition had signed his, a petition got up
later by the wholesale men. Thla they
did because deceived In sighing the
nrst. As to the extension of liquor
limits, he said the wholesale men were
slnat It, and that It waa the scheme
the retail liquor trust which wanted
a little wider world to conquer.
The attorney then took up the busi
ness methods of Bluthenthal A Bickert.
He said: "Look how recruits are
brought Into the folda of this gallant
trust. In the case of the fellow who
goes to them to get credit to start In
tuslness, note how they kindly lake an
assignment of his license, lease and
mortgage of hill of sale to hla stock and
fixtures and an iron clad agreement as
to where he shall buy his goods. As
the business can be taken In practically
whenever B. A B. wants It, It Is easy
to see how Independent such a man
la."
Aa to tbe methods used. with the
independents he' declared that Blu-
thentha! A Bickert leased over their
heads and If the Independents refused
to buy their liquor Bluthenthal A Bick
ert would close them out.
Now, the whole damage Isn't only
to she retailer, who. In effect, haa hla
business conflacated, but to the pub-

years ago when a raid was made for
the purpose of confiscating fraudulent
liquors, liquors undar dishonest labels.
You probably also recall Just prior to

ons, for being out at unusual hours at
night: that a car load of stuff seemed

of the Terrible Blast.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 14.—'That District
Attorney Jerome jiiUfk-s the truth Is
ibtly Insinuated by Governor Folk, of
Missouri, In a statement resenting an
attack made on him by Jerome In an
Interview. Mr. Jerome's slap at Gov
ernor Folk waa given In an Interview
In relation to Insurance lnveatlgat<
Ing.
Jerome said:
"I am familiar with the work of
the Investigations. Take Folk, of Mis
■ourl, There were dosens of Indict
menta followed by conviction In the
lower courts, but these were thrown
out by the higher courts, one after
the other.. What waa the slse of that?
Mr. Folk went up to a higher position,
and blame fell upon his successor, or
ultimately brought the law Into dls
credit."
What Folk Replied.
Governor Folk, when Informed of
Jerome's criticisms, wired In reply:
"Concerning Mr. Jerome's criticisms,
I have this to say:
"Mr. Jerome has been misinformed,
All of the bribery rases In this state
that so far have reached the supreme
court were either afflrmld or remanded
before my nomination and election to
the office which I now hold, and be
fore the election of my successor as
prosecutor. No one ever thought of
either blaming nr discrediting him
with the action of Hie courts on cases
before he enme Into office, and none
have reached the appellate courts
since."
After discussing the prosecution of
grafters and bribers In Missouri, Gov
ernnr Folk continues:
The Missouri exposures and pros
ecutlons did not bring the law Into
disrepute with good cltlxrns, as Mr. Je
rome states, but did make It odious
to those that had violated It. No
man who had not done something to
be exposed was exposed, and no Inno
cent man waa convicted.
"There was no corruption In the last
Missouri legislature and Missouri haa
become an unhealthy place for corrup-
tlonlata of every kind. The credit for
thla la not due any one man, but to
the kood people of the slate."
Further, Governor Folk aaya:
"It la the duty of the prosecutor
to prosecute the gifllty and shield the
Innocent. It la a dangerous thing for
prosecutor to decline to prosecute
...j guilty merely because an “"**
court might possibly remand
for another trial. It taken more than
a lawyer, more even than a prophet
to tell what an appellate court In go
ing to decide. The judges themselves
dissent one* from the other; they re
verse judges and sometlmas overrule
themselves.”

Liverpool, England, June 14.—It Is
now known that not less than six uf
the crew of the steamer Haverford, of
the American line, were killed and fully
forty hurt, some mortally, by an ex
plosion which followed the removal of
cargo hatches thla morning.
The cargo waa set on Are by the ex
ploalon and aerloua damage waa done
lo the ship.
It la not definitely known what caus
cd the explosion, but there are ausplc
loua circumstances which haYe caused
the belief In some quarters that It Is
the work of anarchists. A thorough
Investigation will be made.
Much of the cargo of the Haverford
waa linseed oil cake and It la not Im
probable that thla generated gas which
caused the explosion. Another state
ment la that It waa caused by a bar
rel of naptha.
The force of the explosion waa ter
rifle, men, portions of the hatehee and
parts of the cargo were hurled. high
Into the air and the men who were
killed were badly mangled. Bulk heads
were smashed and gaping holet
blown In the deck. The Are whli
lowed the explosion burned fiercely, the
nil cake affording fuel which made the
work of the Bremen extremely dim
cult.
It waa thought for a time th
vessel would have lo be sunk before
the flames could be conquered, but af
ter several hours of dasperate, hard
work the flames Anally were gotten
under control nnd the firemen were
able to make a search for the bodies of
the dead.
It waa found that live men had been
killed outright, one of them, probably
the man who opened the hatch, waa
blown Into bits.
Ambulnncaa were summoned and the
more seriously Injured of the men were
tuken to the hospitals. At least fifteen
of them are In a very serious condl
lion.
Fortunately, there were no passen-
R ent aboard. The Haverford reached
ere from Philadelphia yesterday and
her passengers were ali landed last
night.
Tha Haverford Is a steel built, twin-
screw steamer of over (.000 Ions, and
haa a length of 610 feet, a width of 69
feel and a depth of 19 1-1 feel. Hhi
was built at Clyde Bank, Scotland, It

"In south and middle Georgia the

that area, und bent the plant to the

areaa of cotton were practically ruined
by lice, and flelda had to be replanted.
'Then aome fair, warm weather
came along and stopped the ravages of

warm nights will kill them. With a
reocurrence of cloudy, cool weather the
lice will reappear.
'•And still another condition la to be

It Impossible for farmers to work their
crops. The grass got a big start on

"From reports I have received the
