MURDER DONE
ON SHIP
IT SEI
"MARY SANFORD” ARRIVES IN
PENSACOLA WITH THE MATE
IN IRONS AND THE CREW IN A
STATE OF MUTINY.
PENSACOLA. Fh., July A—The Ameri
can schooner, Mary Sanford, which ar
rived Saturday afternoon had an eventful
voya*e from Blueflelds. Nicaragua, to
Pensacola, during which time one man
killed another and the crew were almost
In constant mutiny for the man's blood,
who murdered their shipmate. Captain
McDonald was glad to reach here, and as
soon as possible had the murderer in jail.
The Mary Sanford left Blueflelds on
June 24, and when four days out in lati
tude 15.40 and longitude 8L45. A. G. Nich
olson. the first mate, killed Fired Reed, a
West Indian seaman at 4 a. m.
Reed, it was learned, had been ordered
to some duty about the sails, but the par
ticular job was not done according to the
liking of Nicholson, who ordered to
do the work over. The latter did not rel
ish this and made Insulting remarks to
the mate, who without any bandy of
words, whipped out a 44-callbre revolver
and filled the negro’s body with four bul
lets. either one of which would have
proved fatal. The seaman died within 20
seconds after being shot.
When Captain McDonald saw what had
happened, he ran and overpowered Nich
olson. took the pistol from hta* and threw
it overboard. The mate was then placed
in irons and kept so confined, and under
strict guard until the vessel reached the
Pensacola quarantine station, when tbe
United States marshal's office was told of
the murder on the high seas and Nichol
son brought here and locked up. He will
be given a preliminary trial before U. 8.
Commissioner Tunlson tomorrow morning.
Since be has engaged legal advice he re
fuses to talk and give his side of the oc
currence.
To The Journal's representative one of
tbe ship's officers stated that immediate
ly after the killing four West Indian sea
men. countrymen of the dead man. openly
resented the murder of Reed, and many
times did things looking as though the
murderer would swing from a yard arm.
The captain, two mates and steward were
the only white men on the vessel, and
the combined watchfulness of this over
worked quartette prevented a marine ses
sion of Judge Lynch's court. The West
Indians were said to have been a most
revengeful class and various conspiracies
were nipped in their inciptency by the
white crew, who gleaned knowledge of the
plots by tbe boasting of the conspirators,
who on one occasion are said to have
threatened to have the Hves of all tbe
ship's officers when they were prevented
from laying hands on Nicholson.
Reed’s body was wrapped in sails and
buried at sea. a few miles from the loca
tion of where the shooting occurred. He
had repeatedly made trouble for the ship
and is spoken of as having been a dan
gerous man. Nicholson belongs to a
prominent family at Halifax. Nova Sco
tia. and has followed tbe sea for many
years.
The Mary Banford, flying the American
flag, is a frequent trader here. The mur
der will necessarily have to be beard in
the United States court, which convenes
here next month. And thia is the first
capital crime to be beard or docketed
tn the federal court of this district for
years.

FIRED A BALL
IN HIS BRAIN
J. C. BENNETT PUT HIS COAT
UNDER HIS HEAD AND COM-
MITTED SUICIDE AT
GRANT PARK.
The body of a man. identified by papers
on his person as J. C. Bennett, was found
in Grant park Monday morning about 10
o'clock, a bullet through his brain. A 38
calibre Smith & Wesson revolver lay by
his aide. He had shot himself in the right
temple, the bullet lodging under the skin
of the left temple. Death was instan
taneous. .
The body was found lying on the grass
at the edge of a great bank of calla lillies,
near the Bethesda Spring at the Park
avenue entrance. Will Gatins, an em
ploye of the waterworks deparement, went
to the spring for a drink, and passed Ben
nett, who was lying on the grass. He
noticed blood all over the man’s face,
and Immediately sought an officer. To
gether they went to the body of Bennett,
which was still quite warm. He was dead.
It appeared that Bennett had been lying
on his left side, and had raised his bouy
on his left elbow when he fired the shot
into his right temple. The revolver had
dropped under Bennett’s left arm.
No papers were found on his body to
ascribe any reason for the suicide. In
his pockets was found a purse contain
ing a $5 bill and three pennies, a cigar
case, a plug of chewing tobacco and a
package of smoking tobacco and cigarette
papers.
Bennett was first seen in the park about
9:15 o'clock. He was then lying on the
grass near the bed of lillies, his head
resting on his coat, which he had re
moved and folded as a pillow. He was
smoking a cigarette. At 10 o'clock, Ga
tins, passing through the park, saw the
man lying on the grass, dead.
The dead man did not live in the city,
but on the outskirts, near Grant park.
His wife died about three years ago, and
left one child.
Bennett was a man thoroughly trusted
by all who knew him, and he bore a good
reputation. F. R. Barford, local mana
ger for the Page Wire Fence company,
for whom Bennett worked for some time,
speaks very highly of h|m. and says he
was a valuable worker.
It appears Bennett some time ago
thought of killing himself. On the 15th
of March Call Officers Covington and
Hubbard were summoned to 501 Houston
street, where they found a man lying
across the bed with a pistol in his hand.
The gun was taken away from him and it
was decided to leave him in charge of his
family. The man was Bennett and he had
then threatened to take his own life.

THE SEMI-WEEaly JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1902,
TOANNEXGUBA
WILL BRING
CONTEST
SERIOUS PROBLEM IS ONE OF
THE BIG FEATURES OF THE
FALL TERM OF THE FIFTY
SEVENTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, July 7.—There are but
few among those who have given careful
that the question of the annexation of
the Island will form one of the serious
difficulties to be overcome by the next
session of congress. The developments of
the latter part of the session which closed
last week Indicated this and there are
many other things which tend in the same
direction.
When the matter of the desperate con
ditions alleged to exist in Cuba are being
considered, it might as well be admitted
at the start that the question of what the
United States owes Cuba is an open one.
If the island really needs ''relief” It must
be remembered that it was the Republi
can party which promised such re
lief would be given and that the failure
of the present congress to give such relief
was directly due to a division in the ranks
of that party. There is little doubt that
the plan proposed and pushed by the ad
minlstrationists was not a proper one. It
may be that the president and some of
his advisers conscientiously thought that
the reciprocity bill they favored would,
if enacted into law, afford the relief
which Cuba is said to need so much and
at the same time fulfill all the promises
made in that connection by the dominant
party. But, the fact that Governor Gen
eral Wood spent large sums of money
belonging to the treasury of the island in
an attempt to influence legislation and
the further circumstance that thi presi
dent of the sugar trust also spent money
in behalf of the so-called reciprocity bill,
shows very conclusively that the matter is
not just as it appears on the surface and
that a full and thorough investigation
should be completed before this country
makes a present of some eight or ten
millions annually to some one. If it v 're
clear that that someone was really the
Cuban sugar producers the problem would
be considerably less did cult. But it is
known that the sugar trust is the prin
cipal customer —if not the sole customer—
of the Cuban sugar producer in this
country. This being the case, it would
seem that a reduction in the tari»l on
Cuban sugar would inure to the benefit of
the sugar trust rather than to the Cuban
producer, and, it was on account of this
phase of the matter that the Democrats
in congress, who under ordinary circum
stances would be in favor of a reduction
in the tariff as a step toward the Demo
cratic principle of free trade, arrayed
themselves against the so-called recipro
city bill prepared by the Republican lead
ers of the house and backed by the pres
ident and all of that faction of the domi
nant party which subsequently came to
be known as the administratlonlst ele
ment. These are the facts in the case,
the so-called Independent press of the
south to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Democrats nave the best of good
reasons for their attitude toward the
reciprocity plan and no amount of mis
representation will make the public be
lieve otherwise.
In view of the existing condition of af
fairs so far as the legislative feature of
the matter is concerned, the Democrats
have thorough justification for their ac
tion and the position of the beet sugar
pdbple in the premise* is of course ex
plained by the fact that they believe the
industry they represent would be serious
ly harmed by the enactment of re
procity bill such as it was proposed to
get through at the session of congress
which has just closed. Had some plan
of relief for Cuba been suggested which
would have insured the Cuban producer
getting the benefit which he thinks is due
him. the Democratic position might have
been different and some sort of legislation
might have been gotten through despite
the efforts of the beet sugar protectionists.
But the president and his retainers would
have nothing but the straight reduction
bill, and as a result they met with a de
feat which has seldom, if ever, been
equaled in the history of the country.
The fight of the adminlstrationlsts will
be continued during the summer vacation
of congress, and while there Is absolutely
no chance of a special session of con
gress being called during the summer or
fall, according to those who are in a posi
tion tor know, there Is every reason to be
lieve that the adminlstrationlsts will, as
soon as the short session begins next De
cember, do everything In their power to
get some sort of reciprocity bill through
congress. On the character of their plan
will depend, to a certain extent at least,
the attitude of the beet sugar people and
the Democrats. The latter will fight for
Democratic principles and policies and the
former will do everything in their power
to protect their constituents who raise
beets. If the adminlstrationlsts succeed in
forcing a bill through. It will probably
be quite different from the one advocating
a straight reduction of 25 per cent, which
failed of passage during the session just
closed. The Democrats will want to be as
sured that the benefit from the proposed
reduction will go to the sugar trust, and
It is unlikely that their adversaries will
be able to demonstrate any such thing.
But whatever else Is done, there are
strong reasons for the belief that the an
nexation of Cuba will be urged. Senator
Elkins of West Virginia, who was one
of the principal leaders of the anti-ad
ministration element In the senate dur
ing the time the fight over the “relief”
bill was on, has afready gone strongly on
record In favor of annexation and will
continue his efforts In that direction dur
ing the next session, unless some unlook
ed for change Is wrought in the mean
time. That these efforts will be resisted
there Is no doubt. The Louisiana congress
men. all of whom are Democrats, and all
of whom will, no doubt, oppose annexa
tion because it would threaten the qugar
interests of their state by allowing Cu
ban sugar to come into this country abso
lutely free, may be criticised for such ac
tion, but when the matter Is carefully
looked Into It will be seen that they have
what they consider good reasons for
their position In the premise?. They are,
no doubt, as thoroughly Imbued with the
free trade belief as any of their Demo
cratic colleagues, but they do not think
It just that one of the principal industries
of their state should be exposed to the
competition of outsiders while such indus
tries as that of the steel trust and nu
merous other great combinations of capi
tal are protected as of yore. And, for
that matter, it is by no means certain that
the Democrats as a whole would be in
favor of annexation. Many of them do
not see what would be gained by such a
step, and they do think much might be
lost. Representative Slayden, of Texas,
who bas visited the Island and looked
thoroughly into the conditions existing
there, is very positive that it would not
be well for this to annex the Is
land, and there are many who agree with
him.
Whether or not It is the auty of the con
gress of the United States to relieve Cuba,
there seems to be little doubt, according
to authoritative advices from the island,
that commercial conditions there are any
thing but good. The Cubans seemed to
be absolutely sure that congress would do
something for them, and when they found
that the efforts of the adminlstrationlsts,
backed up as those efforts were by the
money expended by the military govern
ment of Cuba and by the sugar trust,
HIS PASTOR'S ADVICE
HOW IT ENABLED A MERCHANT
TO RETURN TO BUSINESS.
He Was Worn Out From Overwork and
Suffered With Nervous Prostration.
The Story of Hia Recovery.
“I had come back from a trip to Flori
da,” said Mr. C. A. Hood, a member of
the well-known lumber firm of Hood,
Beard & Co., 20-28 Decker street, Youngs
town, 0., to a reporter. “Every winter I
was obliged to go there for my health
until a prominent minister of this city
gave me a piece of advice which has not
only saved me hundreds of dollars in
doctor’s bills and travel, but was the
means of making me a well man.
“For six years I had been in poor
health, brought on by close confinement
to business and overwork. I was weak,
short of breath, had a great deal of head
ache and was nervous. All the time I
was getting worse and finally became un
able to attend to business. For sixteen
months I could do no work and during
this time I suffered physically and men
tally as only those who have had nerv
ous prostration can appreciate. I went
south for a change of climate but it
did me no good. Nothing helped me till
upon the recommendation of this min
ister I tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People. After I had taken the pills
acording to directions for about two
months, I was able to resume my place
at my business. While I used to have
wakeful nights from nervousness, I rest
well now. I do not have headache any
more and feel like a different man. My
wife also takes Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People and has been greatly
benefited by them.”
"Nervous prostration means that the
nerves are tired out and cannot perform
their work. It is not at all uncommon
and comes from overwork, anxiety, ner
vous strain or similar causes. The one
remedy which has proven itself an ab
solute specific for this trouble as well as
for all diseases brought on by weakened
nerves, impure or impoverished blood is
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. They may be obtained at all drug
gists, or direct from Dr. Williams Medi
cine company, Schenectady, N. Y., 60
cents per box, six boxes for $2.60.
were unavailing, they Immediately set up
a wall which has been reverberating ever
since. There Is little doubt that much of
t>e stuff that Is being printed about the
alleged desperate needs of the island is
grossly exaggerated, but It is plain that
conditions are by no means as favorable
as they might be. This point will appear
In a somewhat clearer light by the time
congress reassembles, when It will be pos
sible to see just what has been the result
of the failure of the adminlstrationlsts to
pass the so-called reciprocity bill.
One Democrat who favors annexation Is
Representative Newlands, of Nevada, who
early in the last session Introduced reso
lutions Inviting Cuba to become a part of
the United States, first as an organised
territory under the constitution, with the
assurance of ultimate statehood. Mr.
Newlands Is a member of the ways and
means committee, and while he did not
agree with Representatives Cooper, of
Texas, or Robertson, of Louisiana, both
of whom signed minority reports In oppo
sition to the majority report recommend
ing a reduction of 25 per cent in the tariffs
on Cuban sugar, he did sign a report con
siderably different from that of the ma
jority. •• •
“I have never doubted that Cuba would
be In distress," said Mr. Newlands In dis
cussing the matter today, “unless the
price of sugar advanced or she was en
abled to receive In some degree the ad
vantage of the increased price paid by the
American consumer as the result of our
tariff. The difficulty with Cuba is that
her large plantations are and have been
heavily mortgaged for years, and that the
rescue of the sugar planters from general
liquidation depends upon their receiving
an increased price for sugar. This liqui
dation may take place during the coming
year, and all the large estates I have men
tioned may be sold. The mere change of
ownership of the plantations as the result
of the Indebtedness of their owners would
do no great Injury were it not for the
consequent disturbance in the employment
of labor. During the last season the wages
of labor increased nearly 50 per cent as a
result of the extraordinary demand for
laborers on sugar plantations, and they
will undoubtedly feel the drop in wages
caused by changed conditions. I have no
doubt that the new government there will
experience a severe trial.
“The political union of Cuba with the
United States," Mr. Newlands continued,
“would mean free trade, and that would
mean $25,000,000 more annually for Cuba’s
sugar crop than she at present receives.
It was with this in view that I, early in
the session, Introduced resolutions invit
ing her to become a part of the United
States.’’
While, as before stated, it is not likely
that Mr. Newlands will find many Demo
crats who agree with him, his views are
given consideration because every one be
lieves he is sincere and conscientious in
his views on tbe question.

CHICAGOJUDGE
FIRES JURY
IN CASE
TRIAL OF ANDREWS* CHARGED
WITH WRECKING BANK, POST
PONED BECAUSE JUDGE DIS
MISSED ALL THE JURORS.
DETROIT, Mich., July B.—Judge Alfred
J. Murphy, of the recorder’s court, cre
ated a sensation in the early proceedings
today for the trial of Frank C. Andrews,
former vice president of the wrecked City
Savings bank, which began this morning,
by dismissing the entire panel of jurors
drawn for the July term of court. Judge
Murphy said in explanation of his action:
"Owing to the fact that I have received
certain Information affecting members of
the jury summoned to appear 1n this court
today, I consider it proper, in the interest
of justice, for the sake of the defense as
well as for the people, to discharge all the
jurors summoned for the rest of this term.
I believe this action will be approved by
all the honest and Intelligent jurors. It
will relieve them from all suspicion that
might be aroused through the Informa
tion to which I have referred.”
While it has not developed In court, it
has been rumored that several of the
members of the jury were very friendly
with some of Frank C. Andrews’ close
personal associates. These are the rumors
that Judge Murphy undoubtedly referred
to. However, he will not go Into partic
ulars. It was agreed today by counsel for
the defense that F. C. Andrews should be
tried at once on the last preferred of the
several charges against him, that of mis
appropriating SB,OOO of the City Savings
bank’s funds, with the stipulation that
trial on the other charges be deferred,
together with the seperate trial of former
Cashier Henry R. Andrews, to Septem
ber 3.
Andrews’ attorneys answered that the
ruling of the court In regard to the jurors
took them by surprise, and entered an
exception. The hand was then shown by
moving that the indictment be quashed
on the ground that the prosecuting attor
ney had not set up a proper case. It was
declared that the Information was faulty
In a number of particulars which he spec
ified.
ACTOR, BEFOREA MIRROR,
KILLS HIMSELF WITH PISTOL
MEMPHIS, Tenn., July B.—A Scimitar
special from Helena, Ark., says:
The body of a white man supposed to
be 8. R. Gayord, of Los Angeles, Cal.,
was found last night under a tree below
the city with a bullet hole through the
head.
On the tree was a mirror that had been
used by Gayord In aiming the shot that
ended his life, and near the body was
the weapon, a 44-calibre bulldog revolver.
Gayord came to Helena yesterday morning
ani registered at Koeln hotel as being
from lowa, but all his clothing bear marks
of Los Angeles merchants. In his grip at
the hotel was found a paper of the Gar
rick Dramatic school at Los Angeles,
which leads to the belief that he was a
broken down actor, a belief which is
helped out by the man’s appearance, he
being about 60 years old and wore a white
mustache and weighed about 150 pounds.
MANIA FOR SUICIDE

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., July B.—Lieu
tenant Colonel Barrett has been at a san

a suicidal mania. He has had an attend
ant in his room with him. Saturday morn
ing the attendant stepped out of the room
for a moment and Colonel Barrett escaped.
He ran up to the fourth floor, where the
attendant later discovered him sitting on
the outside of a window. The attendant
endeavored to coax him back into the
building, but Colonel Barrett refused to
come and jumped. He struck on his side
and lived only a few moments after he
was picked up. Colonel Barrett’s family
was at the sanitarium, with him.
