Trade and Crop Re
ports from the South
—FROM BRAD8TREETS,
LUONAI
CURRENCY ON WHITE SLAVE CHARGE
Memphis—Trade is quiet and collections
are slow. Cotton planting is in prog
ress, and the acreage will be larger than
last year.
Montgomery.—Trade is unusually
quiet. Collections are very poor. Cotton
planters complain of poor stands and
scarcity of seed.
Jackson.—In sections not under
| water cotton is up, and the plant is in
fairly good shape. Trade is fair, but
collections are slow.
Charleston, ■ S. C—.Trade in all lines is
very quiet and collections are slow. Cot
ton planting is active, and the outlook
is encouraging.
Chattanooga.—Business is fair. Farmers
| are well along with their field work,
and the soil is in good condition. The
strawberry season is just opening, and
indications point to a bumper crop.
Atlanta—Notwithstanding slow' sales
and collections, there is a spirit of opti
mism among merchants. Trade at whole
sale shows a slight increase, and retail
I dealers also report improvement. The
crop outlook generally is favorable.
San Antonio.—Wholesale dealers
say trade is fair. Collections are only
J fair. Retail trade is fair but collections
are sliow. Cabbage and onions are mov-
j ing in carload lots. Strawberries are
plentiful at moderate prices. Cotton and
oats are in better shape.
Mobile—Farming is somewhat retarded.
Though the cotton acreage will be about
the same as last year, it is thought
; the yield will be 10 to 20 per cent, less
on account of the boll weevil. Jobbers
■ in all lines report trade active, and re
tail trade is good. Collections are fair.
Birmingham—Conditions appear to be
more favorable, *is a result of renewal
of operations by two large mining com
panies which heretofore were only partly
engaged. Warm weather has stimulated
trade with jobbers and retailers. Build-
! ing operations are not more than nor
mal. Collections are slow.
New Orleans.—Fair weather has
prevailed, and farming conditions are
1 favorable, except in those localities
immediately affected by high water. The
levees so f&r are holding reasonably
well, save for one break which occur
red on the Louisiana side in the north
ern part of the state. Retail merchants
are buying conservative}'. Jobbing
trade is fairly active and collections are
moderately good. Planting of rice, sugar
and cotton is moving forward, and the
outlook for good crops appears to be
favorable. Retail trade is active.
‘ THE CROPS.*
Another week of good weather has
enabled farmers to make good progress,
and most of the lost time has now been
made up. The greater part of the
spring wheat and oats crops have been
planted, and next w'eek should witness
the finish of this seeding even in the
ir.cst northern regions. Barley and flax
seeding in the northwest has begun
and southern corn is all planted and
most of it up^ Plowing for corn in the
more northern regions is making good
progress.
Winter wheat holds its excellent po
sition. There were complaints of rain
needed in Iowa and Kansas, but these
have both had rainfall, and the general
\outlook in those states was never bet
ter. There is said to be a promise of
great insect life this year, and chinch
bugs are reported west of the Missouri
river. Texas wheat, oats and corn
promise well, despite cool w r eather for
the latter.
^ Cotton planting has made ^ rapid
progress and is well forward, except in
sections where levee breaks have
flooded some areas of the lower Missis
sippi valley. It is rather too early
yet to estimate cotton acreage, but
there seems little reason to doubt that
an area well in excess of last year will
be planted Last year the area planted
was 34,097,000 acres, while In 1911 the
record area of 36,681,000 acres was
seeded. Rice and sugar planting is
active in the lower Mississippi valley.

ROUTED BY A GIRL
PASADENA. Cal., May 5.—A woman
burglar, faultlessly attired and em
ploying an automobile in her work,
was driven from the home of Mrs.
P. B. Geary by Helen Geary, 17 years
old, after a desperate encounter last
night.
The visitor was ready to depart

ASHEVILLE CARMEN
SETTLE DIFFERENCES
ASHEVILLE, N. C., May 5.—The
strike of the motorjnen and conductors
on the local lines of the Asheville
Power and Light company, which was
declared last Saturday at noon, ended
at 9:15 Friday night, when the com
pany announced its willingness to make
' certain advances in the wages of the
men. The new rate ranges from 20 cents
an hour for the first year to 25 cents
an hour for the fourth year and every
•year thereafter.
The strikers will return to work under
the new scale of wages.
MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental
Labor Since Leaving Off
Coffee
Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day after
day, have found a better capacity and
greater endurance by using Postum in
stead of coffee. An Ills, woman writes:
"I had drank coffee for about
twenty years, and finally had what the
doctor called ‘coffee heart.’ I was ner
vous and extremely despondent; had
little mental or physical strength left,
had kidney trouble and constipation.
“The first noticeable benefit derived
from 'the change from coffee to 'Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and boWels. Tn .two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
"Then I became less despondent, and
i the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
, “I am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. T formerly
! did mental work and had to give it up
. on account of coffee, but since using
Postum I am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before.”
> Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum now comes in new, concen
trated form called Instant Postum. It
f Is regular Postum so processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions
are retained.
A spoonful of Tnstant Postum with
hot water, and sugar and cream to
taste, produce Instantly a delicious bev
erage.
Write for the little book, "The Road
to Wellville.”
“There’s a Reason” for Postum,
President Wants Bill Passed
by Present Extra Session of
Congress
* (By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 6.—President
W ilson again today expressed the hope
that members of congress had come to
an early agreement on the details of
currency legislation so that a bill could
be passed before adjournment of the
special session.
The president told his callers he ex
pected the currency committees of the
house and senate to get together to
formulate a measure, and his own views
would be transmitted through whatever
measures were finally agreed upon by
them.
The president hopes that if congress
takes up the currency question at the
extra session it will do so with expedi
tion and get through a bill not later
than August. He is planning to visit
the Panama canal either in July or Au
gust.
Senators Owen and Gore and the en
tire Oklahoma delegation urged the
president to attend the twenty-fifth an
niversary on April 9. 1914, of the open
ing of Oklahoma territory to settlement.
The president said he would try.
President Wilson does not expect the
tariff bill to be materially amended in
the senate. He told callers he did not
credit the report that wool would be
taken from the free list. He heard
views of many who wish duty reained
on wool, but sees rto reason to change
his position.
Senator Sheppard and a delegation
from Texas presented a petition asking
the pardon of W. B. Walker, of Dal
las, Tex., convicted of a violation of the
national banking act.
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, urged the
appointment of N. J. Lillard, of Florida,
as his first choice, and W. V. Truley, of
Chattanooga, Tenn., his second choice,
for public printer.
Lawrence C. Woods and his brother,
Edward A. Woods, of Pittsburg, both in
timate friends of President Wilson, told
him the provisions of the income tax bill
relating to insurance companies did not
altogether exempt insurance companies
from double taxation. The president in
dicated that he would further study the
question.
Sex of Woman Who
Battled in Civil
War Just Revealed
George H, Bixby Arraigned and
Makes Bond-Keeper of “The
Jonquil" Indicted, Also
(By Associated Press.)
QUINCY, Ill., May 5.—The identity
of the sex of "Albert” D. J. Cashier,
Civil War veteran, and an inmate ot
the Soldiers and Sailors’ home here,
was today revealed by Colonel J. O.
Anderson, superintendent of the home,
to be feminine.
The woman, whose real name prob
ably never will be known, served three
years in the union army. She was
mustered out of the service in 1865, and
a few years later was placed on the
government pension roll.
She entered the Soldiers’ home two
years ago and at that time her sex
was known only to Colonel Andrews,
but he promised not to reveal her se
cret. His promise has been fulfilled,
in as much as the woman two weeks
ago was adjudged insane and in a few
days will be committed to the state
hospital.
The revelation of the identity of her
sex was made two years ago in Liv
ingston county, Illinois, where she was
employed by ex-Senator I. M. Lish, as
chauffeur. It is said by the ex-senator
that one day his machine would not
run and that the chauffeur crawled un
der the car. While she was tampering
with the mechanism the engine start
ed and the wheels of the car passed
over her, breaking her right leg.
Physicians discovered her secret.
POLICE INSPECTORS
FAIL TO TAKE STAND
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, May 5.—None of the for
mer police inspectors—Thompson, Hus
sey, Murtha and Sweeney—took the
stand today in the closing hours of their
trial on charges of conspiracy to ob
struct justice by buying the silence of
informers against the graft “system.”
Through the testimony of more than a
dozen witnesses, counsel for Thompson
and Sweeney endeavored to proxe alibis
for the pair and to discredit the state
ments of several chief prosecution wit
nesses. The defense rested late this
afternoon and court adjourned until
Monday when the defense will begin
summing up. The jury will get the case
probably on Tuesday.
The alibi for Thompson entered on
his whereabouts at periods when Former
Police Captain Walsh testified he paid
graft money to Thompson, then his su
perior officer. On Sweeney’s behalf, his
wife, daughter, sister and niece testified
In an effort to establish that Walsh did
not visit Sweeney on December 29 1- st
to confer about a bribe fund raised to
keep George A. Sipp, a resort keeper,
out of the court’s jurisdiction.
NEGRO MOONSHINERS IN
GUN FIGHT WITH COPS
Dozens of pisto Ishots were exchanged
by county policemen and negro "moon
shiners” in an exciting battle near Ben
Hill about 6 o’clock Sunday afternoon.
The officers, five In number, escaped
without injury, and two of the negroes,
one of whom was slightly wounded, were
captured.
The officers participating in the fight
were Lieutenants Lockhart and Oliver
and Officers Haynie, Peacock and Jack-
son, all of the county force. John Love,
who received a bullet in tne hand, and
Clem Wilson, were the negroes captured.
They refuse to disclose the identity of
their three companions who escaped.
The fight occurred near the negroes’
still in a canebrake which was so thick
that at 6 in the afternoon the officers
could not see more than 10 paces ahead
of them. In the midst of the exciting
exchange of shots the negroes fled, and
it was then that two of the men were
captured. The officers confiscated the
still. They will turn their prisoners over
to the federal officials.

MAKE TWO CLASSIS
(By Associated Press.)
GREENSBORO, N. C., May 5.-The
North Carolina classis of the Reformed
church in the United States, in session
at China Grove, N. C., has formally
decided not to obey the order of the Po
tomac synod to divide teh classis. The
North Carolina classis, after an ani-
ated discussion of the Potomac synod’s
order, voted a division was not in the

LOS ANGELES, May 5.—Demurrers
and other means of legal defense were
prepared in behalf of George H. Bixby,
the Long Beach millionaire, when he
was arraigned today in the superior
court on two indictments, charging him
with aiding the delinquency of two
minor girls.
The indictments were returned last
night by the county grand jury, after a
week's inquiry into allegations that
wealthy men had an organized system
of ensnaring young women for immoral
purposes.
The other two indictments were re
turned at the same time against Mrs.
Josie' Rosenberg, who already was in
jail in default of $15,000 bail.
Mrs. Rosenberg, as keeper of “The
Jonquil,” the r#sort at which it is al
leged Bixby was known as “The Black
Pearl,” is charged with having been
chief procurer for the wealthy patrons
of her place. 1
Shortly after Bixby yas arraigned,
Kitty Phillips, the youthful motion pic
ture actress, whose charges initiated the
sensational white slavery investigation,
was taken to the central police station
to testify before the grand jury which
will resume its inquiry Monday.
Bixby was taken to the home of a
fraternal organization where Judge Mc
Cormick, presiding judge of the superior
court, was waiting. Bonds were ap
proved and Bixby returned to his home
in Long Beach.

POLICE BRIBE JURY
HEARS WALSH’S WIFE
Wife of Ex-Police Captain
Tells of Conspiracy to Bribe
Witnesses
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK. May 5.—The wife of
Thomas W. Walsh, ex-police captain,
whose revelations have been the foun
dation of the district attorney’s prosecu
tion of members of the police force,
charged with graft, took the stand today
at the trial of the four former inspec
tors, Sweeney, Murtha, Thompson and
Hussey. Mrs. Walsh was called to con
firm statements made yesterday by her
husband.
Walsh testified that his wife was pres
ent when he discussed with Sweeney a
plan to keep George A. Sipp, a hotel
keeper, who had paid the police “pro
tection” money, out of the county so
that he could not appear as a witness
against a patrolman under arrest for
collecting graft. Mrs. Walsh, her hus
band said, handled part of the money he
raised and turned over to Sweeney to
stop the mouths of witnesses.
The alleged conspiracy to bribe Sipp to
leave the city is the basis of the indict
ment on which the four ex-inspectors are
being tried.
ALBANIAN INTERVENTION
DISREGARDED BY RUSSIA
Muscovites Will Not Regard
Austro-ltaiian Intervention
as Cause of War
(By .Associated Press.)
FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAIN, Ger
many. May 5.—Russia Will not regard
Austrian or Austro-Italian intervention
in Albania as a cause for war. according
to a dispatch from St. Petersburg to the
Frankfort Gazette. Th e Russian gov
ernment, however, probably will demand
declarations from both the Austrian and
Italian government that their occupa^
tion of Albanian territory is not per
manent. A refusal of such declarations
would have a bad effect on the situation.
Congress Mky Compel
Railroads to Use a
Georgian’s Invention
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 5 .--^-D ustless and
cinder-proof railroad passenger coaches
have been made possible by a Georgian’s
invention for which a patent was is
sued yesterday by the government. It is
believer that the railroad and sleeping
car companies will hasten to aavil them
selves of the invention, but if there is
unnecessary delay congress may con
sider the passage of an act requiring all
comon carriers engaged in interstate
commerce to equip their passenger
coaches with the "cinder deflector,” as
it is called. Congressman Adamson,
chairman, and Congressman Sims, of
the interstate commerce committee, may
take thd initiative.
The cinder deflector was invented and
patented by a Lutheran minister, Rev.
D. A. Sox, of Carrollton, Ga., which is
also the home of Judge Adamson. It is
a simple device, triangular in shape,
with a conical dome or top, made of
thin steel.
Mr. Sox declares that the device has
been tried with success on a number of
day coaches, and that already a num
ber of railroads have contracted with
him for a limited supply of the deflec
tors. He is negotiating now for the
sale of the patent right to a railroad
equipment concern.

President Mellen Says Appar
ent Profits in Stocks Were
Reimbursed to Him
(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, May 5.—President Mellen,
of the New Haven railroad, appearing
in his own defense before the inter
state commerce commision today, gave
an unexpected explanation of some of
the figures in the New Haven’s books.
According to the government expert
accountant, David E. Brown, there ap
peared an apparent profit of $102,000,
made by Mr. Mellen, personally, by trad
ing in the stock of the railroad com
pany.
Mr. Mellen testified that the money
in question had been used in, political
contributions in 1904.
Fifty thousand dollars went to the
Republican national campaign fund, he
said, and other amounts to aid Republi
can state campaigns in New York, Con
necticut and Rhode Island.
Mr. Mellen advanced the money and
the railroad company reimbursed him.
He sarid in part:
HOW CONTRIBUTION WAS GIVEN.
"The transactions by which 1^,835
shares of New Haven stock were sold
to me in March, 1904, and I gave my
notes to the New England Navigation
company, have been questioned.
“This stock was treasury stock and
had to be listed on the stock exchange
in order to be sold to the public.
"^In order to list it, it was sold to me
and I gave my notes to the company
which held the stock as collateral until
sold.
“AJ1 these shares were sold at the
best obtainable prices and the entire
proceeds, together with the dividends,
paid to the company's treasury.
"The company received approximately
$102,000 more than the price at which
the stock was sold.to me.
"Between the time of the sale to me
and the closing of the transaction I had
personally given out of my own funds
considerable amounts exceeding in the
aggregate the sum of $102,000.
GAVE TO PROTECT PROPERTY.
"These expenditures I had made abso
lutely because I was president of the
New Haven railroad.
"Cn 1904 I contributed $50,000 to the
Republican national campaign fund and
other sums for the Republican cam--
paigns in New York, Connecticut and,
Rhode Island.
“On the closing up of the sale of
these stocks, it appearing that an un
expected profit had been realized, my di
rectors, who had been cognizant of my
contributions for these purposes,
thought«proper to make me this allow
ance. N
“I never personally received or re
tained one dollar to my own profit or
advantage.
“All the transactions were fully ex
plained to the auditing committee and,
were satisfactory to them as expendi
tures in furtherance of the company’s
interest and protection of its property.”

LIND LEGISLATION
Secretary Bryan, in Making
Farewell Address to Legis
lators, Says He Expects Vot
ers to Use Referendum
MAESURE PASSES HOUSE;
BEADY FOR GOVERNOR
(By Associated Press.)
SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 3.—
The alien land ownership bill
previously passed by the senate,
was passed by the assembly late
tonight and awaits only the sig
nature of the governor to bo-
come a-law.
(By Associated Press.)
SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 3.—De
feated finally in his diplomatic effort
to dissuade the California legislature
from enacting an alien land law affect
ing th,. Japanese, Secretary of State
Bryan declared this afternoon that he
looked to th e people of the state to ex
press a final judgment through the ref
erendum before the act shall go into
effect.
ivir. Bryan’s statement was made be
fore an open joint meeting of the sen
ate and assembly, immediately before
his departure for Washington. The
assembly which was even then -n the
midst of its debate on the land bill,
passed late last night by the senate,
paused for half an hour to hear him
and then 4 ,ok up- its work of follow
ing the senate’s lead.
The procedure in the lower house to
day was almost identical with that
which the administration leaders in the
senate adopted yesterday. On the one
side the Democrats offered substitute
resolutions and amendments, all seek
ing to delay action, and on the other
side the Progressive majority stood
firm in voting down every suggestion.
That the bill would pass tonight was
predicted by both sides. It will then
oe in the hands of Governor Johnson
awaiting the signature that shall make
it a law.
Apparently the only contingently
that can arise to pre.vent the carrying
out of the bill’s provisions within ap
proximately ninety days is the threat
ened referendum petition which would
require 20,000 signatures before the
law could be temporarily nullified,
pending an election. The matter could
not d „ submitted to (he people until the
fall of 191*—a delay of nineteen
months, in case the proposed referen
dum petition gains enough signers
Early in the session representatives
of the board of directors of the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco
intimated to the legislature that the
board would foster a movement to in
voke the referendum against any anti
alien bill that might be passed. Re
cently the exposition company has been
joined by several commercial and trade
bodies in the larger cities who fear
Japan wil levy reprisals upon Califor
nia by abrogating present business re
lationships
Secretary Bryan concluded his mis
sion to the governor and legislature of
California this afternoon with a mes
sage of farewell. To an open joint
session of the two houses,, attended by
the governor, he gave renewed as
surances of the friendly interests and
co-operative attitude of the national
administration toward the peculiar
problems of California, transmitting
the president’s latest criticism of the
alien land act passed last night by the

PULSE OF MURDERERS IS
STRIKINGLY SUBNORMAL
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, May 5—Cold-bloodedness is
a physical charafeteristic of the habitual
criminal, according to statistics publish
ed today in the journal of the American
Medical association. The temperature
of murderers is found to be strikingly
subnormal. Abnormally rapid pulse
and retepiration are found to be charac
teristic of the confirmed criminal.
The figures were obtained, from ex
amination of more than 1,600 convicts In
the Wisconsin state penitentiary. Com
parisons wefe made with statstics of
200,000 average Americans, examined for
life insurance.
General physical degeneracy is found
to stigmatize the criminal. The aver
age convict is three inches below the
normal in stature, light in weight and
with small chest expansion.
POLICE CHAIRMAN’S STORE
LOOTED BY ROBBERS
(Special Dispatch to Th© Journal.)
COLUMBUS, Ga., May 5.—One of
the boldest robbteries of the season oc
curred last night when the clothing
establishment of C. W. Mizell, chair
man of the police committee of the
city council, located in the heart of
Columbus and within a very short dis
tance of police headquarters, was
broken into from ttye rear and all the
money in the cash drawer, amounting
to about $25, was taken, together with
a lot of jewelry, such as collar and
cuff buttons and a lot of small articles
of underwear, etc.
state senate and rehearsing again those
objections already made public.
In reply, Senator Gates, speaking for
the state, said:
"This legislature appreciates the honor
that h^.s been done to this state by the
visit of the secretary of state.
“We realize that his coming to co
operate with us marks an era in Amer
ican politics. It brings the federal
government into close touch with the
individual states.
“On the part of the legislature I wish
to express our profound appreciation
and gratitude for the interest taken by
the national government in a problem
confronting the state of California and
to assure the president that, even if
we may differ with him, we do it with
the profoundest respect for his opinions
and those of the secretary of / state.
And if we feel impelled to depart from
that advice, we do it with respect for
that advice.
“I purpose and desire, on the part of
this legislature, to thank the president
and his secretary for their assistance,
and I express the hope that this visit
may be a forerunner of further activity
by the national government in assisting
the states in their work.”
DISCRIMINATING TERMS.
Secretary Bryan, in his address,
voiced the president’s opinion that the
words “eligible to citizenship,” substi
tuted in the California attorney gen
eral’s redraft of the alien land measure
for the words "ineligible to citizenship,”
are equally discriminatory and there
fore eqtially objectionable to Japan.
“If a law must pass, he urged that it
be limited in its operation to two years,
that meanwhile diplomacy might so im
prove the international situation that
reenactment by the next legislature
would be unnecessary. This suggestion
which had not yet reached the president,
he said, was made ‘for the consideration
of those who have yet to act upon the
subject:’ ”
Secretary Bryan said in part:
"As I am departing this afternoon for
Washington, I deem it proper that I
should say a final word to you. My
coming, at the president’s request, upon
the mission that brought me, was un
usual and yet in the president’s opinion,
not only right in principle, but wise in
policy. It was in keeping with his
own course in appearing in person to
deliver a message to congress.
“I need not recount the experiences
through which we have passed. The
legislature, insofar as it has acted, has
found it inconsistent with its view of
its responsibility to follow the presi
dent’s advice in the wording of the law
which it regards as its duty to enact.
While I shall not attempt to form a
judgment as to the action of the as
sembly on this subject, I have so fully
presented the president’s views that I
do not deem a longer stay necessary.
On the contrary, I feel that I can be
more useful at Washington when the
president has before him the bill as it
reaches the governor, if it shall finally
pass the assembly. I cannot, however,
take my departure without giving ex
pression to my appreciation of the
sipirt in which, as a representative of
the president, I have been received, and
of the courtesies that liave been shown
me at all times.
PRESIDENT’S POSITION.
“The amity that has characterized our
intercourse is in keeping, I think, with
the course that should be pursued by
those who, acting under a sense of re
sponsibility about matters in which they
are jointly concerned, are unable to agree
upon the means to be employed for
reaching .the end in view. The president
has impressed upon me at all times that
1 should emphasize the fact that his only
purpose is to confer with the legisla
ture as to the national and international
phases of the question under considera
tion and that he confers as a not un
sympathetic friend who desires to aid to
the extent of his ability in a matter
where he has not only a constitutional
duty to perform but where he may be
assumed to be able to judge of the effect
of legislation upon our relations with
other countries.
"He has pointed out the things which
seem to him unwise in the bill that has
passed the senate. ‘The first words to
which he calls attention are ‘eligible
to citizenship’ which are as clerly dls-
to citizenship’ which are as 'clearly dis-
citizenship,’ against which he so earn
estly .advises. In the second* paragraph
the property right? of those therein de
scribed art defined as they are defined
in the treaty. He fears that this will
raise a question of construction and in
volve the subject in a lawsuit that may
be both irritating and protracted.
PRESIDENT BF HAITI
DIED FRIDAY NIGHT
General Tancrev Auguste Had
Been III Only a Short While
Before Death
(Ry Associate! I*iy.b.)
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, May 5.—
The president of the republic of Haiti,
General Tancrer Auguste, died at 9
o'clock last night, after a brief illness.
The national assembly was convoked
to elect a successor as chief executive.
Four candidates were prepared to
present their claims—Judge Luxen-
bourg Cauvin, former minister of the
interior; Mi^jiel Oreste, a prominent
senator; General Beaufosse . Laroche,
minister of war, and General Beliard.
In official circles and among the gen
eral public the opinion prevailed that
General Beliard would secure the
ination. ^
President Tancrer has occupied his
office only since Ail^ust 9, last year.
He succeeded General Cincinnatus Le
conte, who met a tragic death together
with 400 officers and soldiers in a fire
which destroyed the palace on August
8. It was reported that at that time
he had been the victim of intrigue,
but nothing was officially revealed to
confirm the theory.
