CIVIL GOVERNOR OF PHILIP-
PINE ISLANDS DECLARES CON
DITIONS AT PRESENT ARE
VERY PROMISING.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22 W. H. Taft,
eivll governor of the Philippine islands,
who arrived here on the transport Grant,
la quite ill. the Philippine climate and the
arduous duties be has performed having
told on his constitution. He feels that
after a few days of rest in this city he
will be strong enough to undergo the trip
east and make his report to the secretary
of war. Governor Taft says that he hopes
to leave for the east on Thursday. He
aays the war is confined to the two pro
vinces—Batangas and Samar—and the
operations tn Batangas occasionally range
into the neighboring provinces of Tayabas
and Laguna.
The governor says that General Wheat
on is doing splendid work In the islands
and that that officer assured him shortly
before he sailed that the natives of the
province of Batangas and its vicinity
would all be pacified before the close of
next March. The province of Cebu and
Bohol, until recently disturbed by the in
surgent operations, have settled down,
the fighting men having all surrendered.
The Filipinos are very anxious to secure
a legislature as a step toward the perma
nent establishment of a civil government.
The present civil government has been
. working with great seal and has thus far
exceeded expectations, tne governor saya
The chief difficulty at present is the lack
of police patrol in the provinces. Small
b<nds of robbers still Infest the back
districts. They terrorise the natives and
until the strong arm of the law is able
to suppress them, absolute peace in the
islands will not be obtained.
The native Filipino police have proved a
success. They were appointed by the civ
il government and officered by Americans
they do good service.
Governor Taft says that he is much im
proved by the sea voyage and will spend
several days at his old home in Cincinna
ti before going to Washington
Governor Taft is accompanied by his
wife During his absence his place on the
commission will be filled by Luke E.
Wright, one of the other members.
Governor Taft will United
States about two months. He will make
an exhaustive report to the president on
present conditions in the Philippines un
der the civil government, and the success
of pacification measures, and will also
submit his views upon the needs of the
natives. He declares that there has nev
er been a time since the United States
w- became interested in the islands that the
attitude of the Filipino people as a whole
has been so friendly to the civil govern
ment established by the United States as
NO SMALLPOX -
TO ALARM PEOPLE
OR. JARNAGIN, PRESIDENT OF
BOARD OF HEALTH, MAKES A
STATEMENT.
After a thorough personal investigation
•f the smallpox situation in Atlanta Dr.
W. C. Jamagin. president of the board of
health, has made a statement which
should successfully contradict the wild
and unfounded reports that have been cir
culated through newspapers in other cities
regarding the prevalence of the disease in
this city.
The fact that there are fewer cases of
smallpox in the city’s hospital for con
tagious disease* at present than there
have been at any tifne during the past
three years at this season, the fact that
only eight cases of smallpox were taken
to the hospital bet week from all parts
of the city and county, and the fact that
up to noon on Saturday there were only
a2 smallpox patients at the hospital, six
| of whom were discharged on Sunday,
are plainly brought out in an interview
which Dr. Jarnagin has furnished for pub
lication. and which is intended to stop
the reports that have been sent to other
cities by correspondents in Atlanta.
it is undoubtedly a fact that there was
some excitement in Atlanta, caused by
the fact that reports were circulated both
in other cities and here. Several reports
to the effect that a number of cases of
smallpox had been taken from two or
three of the leaning retail stores caused
ladies to refrain from shopping, and this
resulted in injury to the trade In Atlanta.
It is for the purpose of allaying these
fears that Dr. Jarnagin furnishes his in
terview.
Doming from a physician of the un
doubted integrity of Dr. Jarnagin. and in
view of bis standing in Atlanta both as a
physician and as a citisen. the interview
will without doubt do what he intended
of it

KNOWN IN ATLANTA TAKES
HIS LIFE BY HANG-
ING.
Paul Kroeber, a draughtsman in the ad
jutant’s office. V. S. A., in Omaha, com
mitted suicide by hanging himself in
Omaha last Sunday. Though no details
giving the causes leading up to the trag
edy have been obtained from Omaha, it is
thought that financial troubles led to the
fatal step.
Kroeber formerly lived in Atlanta and
he leaves a wife and seven children here.
He was stationed here for several years
before he left Omaha about two years
ago. While here he was in the adju
tant’s office, of the department of the
gulf, which was in the Austell building.
Mrs. Kroeber lives at 72 Houston street.
The body of the dead man was not
found until Monday, and it was about
11 o’clock before Mrs. Kroeber heard of
her husband's tragic end. Kroeber left
a note giving instructions for his trunk
to be sent to Atlanta. Mrs. Kroeber had
not heard from her husband in some time
and the money which she formerly re
ceived from him each month had failed
to come for several months. A letter
from a man. who signed himself. George
F. Abbott, was received yesterday by
Mrs. Kroeber. stating that Kroeber was
out of employment and out of money, and
that he owed him a small sum, which he
wanted Mrs. Kroeber to settle. The letter
was dated January 17th. which w’as Fri
day. Kroeber took his life Sunday night.
* Kroeber was 43 years old and was born
in Germany. He enlisted in the govern
ment service 23 years ago at San Antonio,
Tex. He was stationed in that city for
a number of years and it was here that he
married. Mrs. Kroeber has no means of
support. The oldest child is only 13 years
old. He works for Dr. L. P. Stevens in
the Prudential building and he and his
little brother sing in the choir of St.
Luke's church, and in this way help to
support their mother and their more help
less brothers and sisters. Two of the lit
tle children are in the Home for the
Friendless.

CAMP.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 22.—The Times
Star's special from Davis, W. Va., says:
The hotel at the Hambleton lumber
camp near here burned yesterday and at

was suddenly enveloped in flames.
All means of escape were quickly cut
off.
Many narrowly escaped with their lives
and some were injured.
Seven dead bodies have been recov
ered.
No list of those missing is available

of communication.
The halocaust occurred in the hotel used
at Camp No. 5, operated by the Otto
Creek Lumber company. It was 4 a. m.
when the flames broke forth from "the
coke room," and many were injured in
jumping from their sleeping apartments.
The camp lies 13 miles off the West Vir
ginia Central railroad and is very diffi
cult of aceess.
Rescue parties from other camps, not
ably from Davis and Hambleton, left early
this morning for the scene of trouble and

LITTLE BOY DEAD BI
SIOEOFDVINGMOTHER
SON OF J. D. LIVINGSTON DRANK
POISONOUS DISENFECTANT
AND DIED IN AGONY.
Just before going to see his mother,
who was expected to die within a short
t«me, little Thomas Vernon Livingston,
son of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Livingston,
553 Woodward avenue, Saturday afternoon
drank with all the innocence of childhood
from a bottle of disinfectant und died a
short time after.
The death of the little boy. coming as it
did, when the mother was not expected io
live, crazed Mr. Livingston .the husband
and father, and he had to be held to keep
him from drinking from the same bottle
of poison that ended his child's lift.
When the poison was taken from him he
made an effort to get a pistol, then scis
sors. anything to end his misery.
It was about 3 o'clock Saturday after
noon that Thomas, along with the other
members of the family, was called into
Mrs. Livingston’s room, where she lay
ill with consumption, the end apparently
fast approaching. The gathering was for
prayers, but the mother's love discovered
there was something wrong with her boy
and before the prayer began, she asked
what he had taken. She smelt something
peculiar.
Without giving the child a chance to
answer, the mother's fears were allayed
by those about her bedside. The boy was
an right, they told her. When the prayer
had been finished, the last the entire fam
ily were ever to have on earth, the boy
went for a walk and was then taken by
his aunt. Mrs. W. B. Rast, to her home.
6N Woodward avenue, where he would
n< be in the way in the house of illness.
Mrs. Rast, when the boy refused to eat.
became alarmed and physicians were
called. It was learned what he had
taken and that there was no hope. The
disinfectant contained arsenic and bi
chloride of mercurr.
The boy. whose death came as a double
shock and grief to his father and the
family, was just four years of age. and
a bright little lad. The unfortunate fa
ther. John D. Livingston, is a well known
engineer. He was formerly with the At
lanta and West Point railroad, but since
his wife's extreme illness has been com
pelled to discontinue his work.
The extreme Illness of the mother, the
hopelessness of her recovery and the ten
der age of the child all combine to make
this one of the saddest tragedies Atlanta
has ever known. The friends of Mr. Liv
ingston deeply sympathize with him in
his trouble.

Lutz kept his nerve until the noose was
placed over his head, when he gave way
and would have collapsed bad he not been

The crime for which Lutz paid the ex

night with an axe. Proceeding to the

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—The cotton market
opened steady in tone with prices 2 to <>
points lower and during the fore part of the
session persistently resisted bearish influences,
of which there was a goodly number. The
chief depressing factor was the cables. These
gave a decline of 3 to 3% points in futures
and l-32d. in s;s>t cotton, when, on our final
cables of yesterday, no change abroad was
due. Moreover, port receipts climbed several
thousands of bales over those of same day
last year and private advices from southern
siK>t markets were hardly as bullish as of late.
Smaller holders sold out on the call and some
short selling was indulged In. But the bull
contingent made a bold stand for a reaction
with Wall street interests at the head of this
movement. Three brokers, presumably acting
on orders for the same source, picked up at
least 15.000 bales of May around the opening
at prices ranging between •.0608.11, and con
tinued to buy frfely later The English market
appeared in no mood to respond to our steadi
ness. for late cables gave slim rallies, while
foreign orders to representatives here went -to
the bear Hide as a general thing.
At noon the market was steady, but vary,
quiet. The room contingent seemed to fair
liquidation of big long interests under the
slightest further provocation; commission
houses had little new business to offer for the
support of the market. A light estimate for to
morrow's receipts checked selling. Houston
expects ti.OOO to 7.000 bales, against 3.824 bales
last week, and 7,153 bales last year.
Spot cotton ruled quiet, with prices on the

Murphy <fi. Co.'s Cotton Lettar.
NEW YORK. Jan. 22.—There was consider
able selling pressure on March this morn
ing. that month went off at the opening six
l>olnts and other months two to five points.
The undertone was weak and holders who
have been patiently waiting for something new
threw their cotton over in disgust. Receipts
fall to show the decrease predicted weeks
ago and we hear that same cry of an early
serious shrinkage, of which, however, there
is really nothing reliable. It Is likely to be a
narrow market al best. Prices may fluctuate
to the extent of ten point* but nothing more is
regarded as probable unless the bull powers
behind the throne, of whom we hear so much,
are disposed to take hold- This morning they
were credited with Immense buying at the
decline. ,The market failed to show much
change during the early session Port re
ceipts 33,000 bales, against ‘29.00<> bales last
year. Despite the bearish tendency In some
quarters it was evident that any attempt to
advance the market would meet with zpod re
sponse. v
Not a few people in the trade are dis
posed to watt awhile before taking a de
cided view as Jo the else of the erop. inas
much as the smallest crop views find as many
believers as the highest estimate.
Meanwhile, more or less talk as to the prep
arations for the next crop are heard. This, of
course, will have no UtUe bearing on prices,
for when the eve of planting season arrives,
we must have reached a point where the move
ment will afford a" better idea of the final
result and the contending forces will probably
be much nearer In their views instead of two
million apart, as today. . Mule and fertilizer
talk Is already heard and what has come in
so far goes to show that the demand for both
will show a decided falling ufi' the coming
spring. Owing mainly to .ilte financial distress
of the farmers especially in the Atlantic
states.

There was no mtdsture reported in the middle

BISHOPBRENT READY
TO LEAVE FOR ORIENT
I NEW YORK. Jan. 20.—The Rev. Charles
Brent, recently consecrated bishop and
, assigned to the missionary diocese of the
Philippines, recently addressed the con
gregation at St. Bartholomew’s (P. E.)
church. He said he had accepted the mis
sion without going into the question of
financial means but trusting to the gen
erosity of the church to furnish the nec
essary equipment.
• People ask me.” he said, ‘ what aro
you going to do ont there? There are too
many prophesying. They are not study
ing facts. I have no definite plans. I
would stultify myself if I made promise*
of bringing about great results, for I don’t
know until I get there what I shall have
to confront, except in a vague way. I go
there clothed with the authority and
power of the Christian church to
> plish what I can for the eternal good of
those people. I go prepared to face dif
ficulties and out of the situation will aria*
, the necessary inspiration to set about to
overcome them.”
