its Case.
. ago, September 13.—At the open-
of the court yesterday morning in
American railway union con
tempt eases, .bulge Woods ruled finally
on the question of whether the defend
ants should be required to produce
their documents and constitution in
court. Judge Woods said: “As the
American railway union seems to be a
voluntary association, I will hold that
each member is part owner of these
papers as much as the defendants and
"'ill not order them produced.”
James f onnifik Western Union tele
graph messenger, resumed the stand.
He identified his delivery sheet for
June 30, and pointed out on it a tele
gram lie said he delivered to Mr. Debs.
Gus • Wadilers identified all the de
fendants present in the court as men
he had seen when delivering telegrams
at the American railway union head
quarters.
James Clarke, one of the attaches at
the American railway union headquar
ters, and an ex-director, testified he re
ceipted for several telegrams in the
name of E. V. Debs. Clark said he had
never seen any of the defendants dic
tate or write telegrams of a business
character. The government expected
much of this witness, but he told little.
L. P. Benedict, Debs' private scci-e-
tary, was next called to the stand. He
declined to answer any -questions in re
gard to his connection with the Amer
ican railway union on the ground that
it would tend to criminate him. In
this he was sustained by the court.
On this the witness was excused from
the stand.
The government received still anoth
er setback when Judge Woods sustain
ed the next witness, James Hogan, one
of the respondents, in refusing to an
swer any question whatever without
i conferring with his counsel.
Attorney Walker wished to cross-ex-
! amine the witness on his answer to the
j original petition but Judge Woods
! would not permit it. A legal discus
sion followed, the court remaining firm,
notwithstanding Attorney Walker tried
\ hard to change his decision.
The government has now about
finished its ease, only two or three wit
nesses remaining to tie called.
AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Prominent Young 1 Man of Brunswick, fia.,
Grows Tired of Life.
Brunswick. Ga., September 13.—Cy
Gaskins, a well-known young man at
tempted to commit suicide by taking
\ arsenic yesterday. He was very sick
I hist night with a small chance of re-
! covery. The attempt was deliberate.
I A few minutes after finishing dinner,
: Gaskins entered Smith’s drug store and
! called for his account. The proprietor
| was alone, and, after producing the
\ bill and receipting part payment, he
■ waited on a customer who had just en-
j tered. Gaskins went behind the pre-
| scription counter, emptied a bottle of
; crude arsenic in his hand, and com-
j ineneed chewing it. Reaching a glass
| of water from the soda fount to wash
! it down, he remarked that “he’d be
! dead pretty soon."’
Smith seized the hand containing the
i poisen, but Gaskins had eaten enough
to kill a horse, and after a short tussle
gave up and left the store.
Smith telephoned for Dr. Bishop, and
asked him to take charge of Gaskins,
who, in the meantime, had walked over
to Polhill's drug store and was attempt
ing to buy more arsenic. Bishon

Memphis, Tenn.. September 13.—A
portion of North Memphis was swept

destroying and damaging property to
| tlie extent of §3,500 and killing one
j negro, Robert Culp, and injuring two

without a prescription. Gaskins walk
ed to his place of business and notified
his employer R. V. Douglas of what he
had done. Douglas did not believe him
and joked Gaskins about his attempt—-
but finally became convinced and sent
for Dr. Bishop. The doctor began to
administer medicine. Gaskins was cool
through it all and soon began to
varmit arsenic in broken doses. The
attempt was the result of domestic
troubles. Gaskins lias had considera

secured a divorce. Since the divorce
was granted he has been visiting a
young lady, but her parents objected
to his marriage which drove him to
despair.

Board Guarding Against Disease.
New York, September 13.—With chol
era threatening this country from Eu
rope, and yellow fever creeping up the
coast, the New York board of health
lias begun a war on chickens. By or
der of President Wilson, the chicken
stalls of Essex Market have been closed.
President Wilson says that he would
like to prohibit the entrance into the
city of any live chickens, but he finds
it impossible, owing to the religious be
lief of the orthodox Hebrews, which
requires that poultry must be killed by
a rabbi.
Complaint has also been made of the
chicken stalls in Union Market, but the
health officers say that they are too far
removed from dwellings to be counted
a nuisance.

on the New Tariff Law.

tary Carlisle authorized the official an
nouncement yesterday that he would
not pay any sugar bounty earned but
unpaid when the new tariff Dill went

hereafter it shall be • unlawful to issue
any license to produce sugar or to pay
any bounty for the production of sugar
of any kind under this act.”

AM ERICANS^WHO OPPOSE.
your convention did last evening, the
course of Ida Wells in her slander of
the people and civil authorities of the
south.
Endorsement Calculated to I>o Harm.
“I condemn lynch law as much as
any one, and as long as I am Governor
of Virginia, evert- man. white or black,
whatever the charge against him may
he. shall have a trial by judge and jury
if I have to exert all tlie power given
me by the constitution and laws of Vir
ginia. and should any one case of lynch
ing occur, I shall endeavor to enforce
tlie law against the lynchers, but it
strikes me that tlie action of your con
vention in endorsing the misrepresent
ations and slanderous utterances of Ida
Wells is calculated to do harm rather
than good, and intensify, rather than
mollify the spirit of violence which so
frequently manifests itself, not only in
Virginia, but throughout tlie south,
when a certain crime is committed.
“I believe that if your convention
would condemn the crime which has
caused the lynching in the south, with
rare exceptions, and the leaders of the
colored people would frown upon it and
cry out against it, and not exert their
energies and devote their time to a de
nunciation of the lynchings, there
would be fewer outrages and if so cer
tainly fewer outrages of mob violence.
Deep Laid Scheme.
“I do not know, but it looks very
much to me as though tlie work of Ida
Wells was a deep-laid scheme to check
as far as may be tlie progress of the
south, and every good citizen, -white
and colored, should feel an interest in
refuting her villifications rather than
sanctioning them, as your convention
did last evening.
“I have the most friendly feeling for
the colored people. They have my
sympathies in all their struggles, and
laudable undertaking as 1 think I have
shown in my private and public life,
and I was indeed deeply pained when I
read yesterday morning that your con
vention. composed of representatives of
your race, had struck the soutli a blow
which she did not deserve. While I
thank you for your invitation, I must
decline under the circumstances to ad
dress your convention or attend its
sessions. Respectfully,
Charles T. O'Ferrall.”
Cornelius N\ Rliss Will Likely Capture the
Guliermitorial Flum in N'eiv York.
New York. September 13.—The oppo
nents of Levi I*. Morton showed a dispo
sition yesterday to unite on Cornelius
N. Bliss, who arrived here from Europe
today. Monday night there was a
great deal of quiet work at the repub*
liean primaries to elect delegates fa
able to Mr. Bliss, and that the 1WSP
movement will be formally launclicfl^*
some of the assembly district eoi^^fc
tions tonight. The effort to uniff*Wf
Depew has apparently failed; not on
account of Depew's unwillingness to»bc
a candidate, but because republictmS
generally cannot be convinced tha^a
railroad president would be a safe qw^-
I didate at this time.
It is believed that Mr. Bliss will
! cept the nomination. His friends
that he will not make a contest tforu,
but as there seems to be a^ftiert^^nl

Bliss has been regarded aiP^l gub’oiwa-

WHAT WILL PULLMAN DO?
It is Feared That He May Order a General
Turn Out.
Chicago, September Rl.—Eviction of
former Pullman strikers, with all the
attendant suffering and hardship, has
at last begun in Kensington and Rose-
land. As yet Mr. Pullman's town agent
has taken no steps to clear tlie houses
and tenement blocks of the “model
city" occupied by former workmen, but
it is tlie general belief and dread among
the men that some measure of this kind
will soon be taken. With the approach
of winter and the imminent daily need
of fuel, clothing and food the situation
grows more and more critical.

Washington, September 13.—James
J. Corbett, the pugilist, gave out a
statement last night in regard to the
refusal of Peter Jackson to fight him,
in which he says : “In answer to the
cowardly misstatements that have been
circulated by Peter Jackson, and the
subterfuges that he has resorted to in
order to crawl like a cur out of the pro
posed match with me, I desire to make
the following statement: I have stated
emphatically all along that this nigger
does not want to fight me. After the
punching I gave him in San Francisco,
where he was saved from defeat by the
dastardly actions of his California club
friends, you could not g-et him into a
ring with me with a hawser, and no
one knows it better than this same Pe
ter Jackson. He has stated that he
would not go south of Mason and
Dixon’s line on account of prejudice ex
isting against his color—he has thrown
slurs upon the fairest people in the
world—the southerners, who gave
George Dixon fair play there, and Jack-
son proved himself a rank quitter when
he refused to go and uiypt me in New
Orleans, when he knows if by my fluke,
he should happen to win. it would make
him famous and independently rich for
life. “He refers to the propositions
made by the Sioux City athletic club
and says: “They have agreed to allow
the men to pick the referee, who must
be satisfactory to Jackson. Now if this
nigger wants to fight. I will name the
man satisfactory to me, now. The fol
lowing are the acknowledged referees
of this country : P. J. Donohue, of New
York; John Eckhardt, of New York ;
John Duffy, of New Orleans : George
Siler, of Chicago; John Kelly, of New
York ; A1 Smith, of New York. Any
of these men are satisfactory to me.”
He also says: “In conclusion, Mr.
Peter Jackson, I tell you plainly that I
will fight you privately, or openly, in
one week, one month, two months, or
three months time, for as much money
as you can raise, purse or no purse, in a
club, on a barge, in a hack,or in a room,
anywhere in America.”
