All but 20 of those arrested succeeded in showing that they have some manner of gaining a livelihood. They were re leased. The 20 were remanded to the City Couri. Judge Norwood agreed to night. however, to the proposition of a Brunswick agent, who proposed that the 20 negroes be sent to Brunswick to work on tlie docks In the place of striking longshoremen. The offer Included paying lUe railway transportation. Tho negroes all agreed, and they w'ill be sent to Brunswick tomorrow. This morning 150 negroes appeared at the Ocean Steamship docks seeking work. The company had announced several days they were short of labor, but appli cants never appeared until tho vagrancy crusade started. The labor problem here is in a fair way to find a solution.

A Memorable Session. These were events that made yester day’s session ..f the Interstate Com merce Commission, with Edward H. Harriman as sole witness, a memora ble one. They gave a vivid and inti mate realization of the problems of swollen wealth and railway regula tion, and the circumstances gave the inquiry importance. It all made a no table contribution to the financial his tory, in llgfit and dark, of the time. Mr. Harriman .was on the stand throughout the day and his examina tion in chief was conducted by Frank B. Kellogg, of SL Paul. Minn., special counsel for the Government. This statement of the witness as to Stuyve- sant Fish came In the middle of the morning session. Mr. Kellogg In reference to the Illinois Central spoke twlco of the "squabble” between the witness and Mr. Fish. Mr. Knapp, of the Commission, leaned over and adressed Mr. Harri man in a low tone. His question ap parently related to the Fish incident and Mr. Harriman spun round his chair, facing the bench and ?aid: Fish Deposited Half Million. "Yes, in 1502 Mr. Fish deposited over half a million dollars of Illinois Cen tral funds with the Trust Company. We directors immediately directed the secretary to withdraw this money and it was done.” Mr. Harriman then said that later in the same year, Mr. Fish had de posited with the Trust Company a large amount of Illinois Central funds, thus using this money “To pad the Trust Company’s statement.” Harriman said that he personally loaned Fish $112,000 to help him out and so he could take up various obli gations. Notwithstanding the board's action, continued Mr. Harriman, in 1904. Mr. Fish again began to deposit money of the Illinois Central with cer tain trust companies "in order to pad statements.” “The trouble with Mr. Fish,” said Mr. Harriman, “was that he looked upon the Illinois Central as his per sonal property.” He then told how Mr. Fish had en tered into one contract for the con struction of the Indianapolis .and St. Louis Railroad and committeed the company without tne consent or action of the board, and this when the board had previously expressed Its disap proval of this. Right of Commission to Inquire. There was a renewal of objection to the right of the Commission to inquire Into the private stock transactions of Mr. Harriman and the matter took the same course as yesterday. The Com mission ruled that the questions must be answered. Then followed a formal refusal, stated to be upon the advice of counsel, and the record was in each I instance formally completed. The first > objection was against revealing the ! amount of holdings of Mr. Harriman i and his associates in the Santa Fe. and the second as to the existence of a pool or private understanding as to i stock In the Illinois Central. The most i interesting of the series of questions ! was as to possible speculation in stock NEW YORK. Feb. 26.—Leslie M. Shaw.

Feb. 26.—Secretary Shaw, who was today elected president of the Carnegie Trust Company at New York, was a iked the effect his acceptance of this position would have, upon his political future.

The objection was renewed throughout the day whenever Mr. Kel- logg referred to the transactions of the witness in the railroads that are under inquiry and so all examination along that line was blocked. No steps have yet been taken for testing the ques tion In the court?, but Chairman Knapp has shown great care in laying the foundation in the record every time the proposition has recurred. Explained Deferred Dividend. Mr. Harriman explained the defer red dividend announcement of Au gust, 1906, by saying that the board had referred the dividend declaration to the executive committee for ap proval. That committee was to meet as usual the next morning. Harriman. however, had to attend a funeral and it was after 3 p. m. when the com mittee finally got together. Then it was decided not to announce tho divi dend at that hour, as it would give the London market the benefit as against New York. So the announcement was withheld until the second morning, thus giving the New Yord market the benefit. He insisted that there was no other cause or reason for this ac tion. Mr. Harriman proceeded with his narrative without interruption until decline appropriate tasks nor refuse to of grip.

N. C., Feb. 26.—The floor of the House of Representatives this after noon was the scene of an encounter be tween Congressman-elect R. N. Hacket, of the Eighth District, and Representative C. G. Bryant, of Wilkes County. Hack- ett used his right effectively on Mr. Bry ant’s ear and jaw. Mr. Bryant drew a long bladod pocket knife and made for Hackett, but was intercepted and dis armed. He then attempted to strike Hacket with an inkstand and subsequent ly attempted to strike him. but the blows this point. He spoke deliberately and . fell short. When quiet was_restored P.ry- s- tioned him closely in an apparent ef fort to elicit some admission of motive in the day in the announcement, but Mr.. Harriman’s replies were direct He admitted that the delay In the an nouncement was unusual, but said that the occasion was unusual. "It was staggering," said Mr. Harri man. “It marked an epoch, but if I had been able to have been present at the hour for which the executive com mittee meeting was scheduled, the announcement of the dividend would have been made in the usual way the morning after the directors meeting.” Commissioner Lane, leaning across the bench, began an impressive sketch of the enormous acquirements of the Union Pacific under Harriman. He began with the issuance of one hun dred millions of. bonds and traced Its i purchases out to Portland on the that? brought on the ’fracas. The tight took place while an executive committee was in session. . a matter concerning Wilkes County being under consideration. Hackett had addressed the committee, and when he closed. Mr. Bryant, a mem ber of the committee, arose to speak. In ferring to Hackett s remarks, he said that he resented the aspersion put upon the commissioners of his county. Hackett re plied that he had not aspersed the Com missioners. Bryant repeated the remark and Hackett struck him. The committee was in a tumult of excitement for five minutes. Hackett is a Democrat and Bry ant a Republican. Both live in Wilkes County. born after-effects are often worse than the disease itself. The health of the body is badly shattered-and oftentimes there seems to be no way to restore it. The sufferer becomes nervous, ir ritable and the system is powerless fo resist the attacks of such diseases as bronchitis, pneumonia and consump tion. The story told by scores of victims of the grip is substantially the same. One was tortured 'by terrible pains at the base of the skull that made life unendurable and that long defied the power of medicine; another was left tired, faint and in every way wretched from anaemia or scantiness of blood; another had horrible headaches, was nervous and couldn’t sleep: another was left with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and acute neuralgia. In ev ery case relief was sought in vain until the great blood-builder and nerve tonic. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, was used. Could Hardly Stand. Mrs. Jennie Cowan, of 718 N. Henry street, West Bay City. Mioh., rays: ’ I caught a cold, which ran into the grip. I was confined to my bed for two weeks. At the end of'that time I was able to be about, but was com pletely run down. I was so weak I could hardly stand, my cheeks had no I color and I felt faint. My heart would flutter and it was difficult for me to i Ti en my heart and thoroughly alarmed me. While I was suffering in this way I chanced t& run across a '.it11 o b '.'k that told about Dr. Williams' Pink Bills. The statements In it impressed me and led me to buy a box. It was fortunate for me that I did. for these pills ✓roved the very thing I needed to cure me. Improvement-set in as soon as I began to take them, and it was very marked by the time I h.'fd finished the first box. Four boxes made me a well woman. In fact, the pills proved, so thoroughly adapted to my case that there is nothing further to say except that I am a very grateful woman and that I sincerely recommend Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills to any p«opie who are -sick as I was.” A Characteristic Case. Mr. William A. Newman, or Sngrada. Camden County, Missouri, says: "The attack of grip whicji r had left me In a very bad fix. I became nearly deaf and my head ached continually and was filled with hissing and roaring sounds that were fearfully annoying. My heart fluttered and had regular runnlng-nway spells. My stomach was so sore that I could hardly bear a touch on that part of my body. My kidneys gave me trouble. When I attempted to get up after sitting a while, they ached so that I could hardly stand. "First I tried a doctor, but he did rr.e no good. Then I took several birds of advertised preparations, but nothing proved helpful until I began to use Dr. Williams’ Pink -Pills. As soon as I got them I knew that I had at last hit upon the right remedy for my case. The very first box did more for me than anything else I had ever taken SHIPMENT OF ARMS TO NICARAGUA DELAYED NEW ORLEANS, La.

I soon felt better and continued using them until I was entirely cured. They built me up again to perfect -health!” Confined to Bed. Mrs. iLaura M. Van Scoy, of 20 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn., says: “I had a severe attack of grip, and was 'in a badly run-down state.

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 26.—At the meeting of the State Railroad Commis sion tomorrow, it will be finally de termined what course will be pur sued with regard to the investigation of the complaints made by Bowdre Phinizy, of Augusta, against the Geor gia Railroad. The commission has in vited both sides to the controversy to appear before it at that time, but has not legally summoned them. It is optional with those at interest whether they apepar or not. 3ut the commis- | sibii is anxious to get at the true gist of the matter so as to know how to proceed intelligently. There is one thing certain, and that is a full inves tigation will be made, and about the only thing the meeting will decide is where it shall be begun. Commissioner Joseph M. Brown stated today that the commission had received no formal application from the Farmers' Union as yet asking for a reduction of the passenger fare in the State two two cents a mile. It Is known, however, that a thorough in vestigation is being made into the question of passenger earnings within the State with a view to bringing this before the commission age system. Another feature of the order was the announcement of the resignation of John F. Stevens as engineer in charge of the canal construction. The President in his letter to the commission says: “It is not my purpose by requesting this apointment to disturb in any way the present- organization on the isth mus, which is very satisfactory, nor to interfere with the admirable work now being done by the present assistant chief. Mr. Ripley, and the various heads of the departments. “The work of construction is going cies so that there will' be two more retirements necessary to make way for the three army officers and Senator Blackburn. As he told his callers to day, the President is determined that the work on the canal shall proceed continuously and thorughly and the temporary “dislocations" which may come as a result of the resignations n‘f higher officials will not be allowed to interfere with progress. The Presi dent is unaware of the specific reasons which have been influential in prompt ing Mr. Stevens, it is understood, how ever, that- Mr. Stevens is leaving the Government service to accept a posi tion in connection with a great engi neering enterprise in this country at an annual salary more than double that he now receives from the Govern ment. on well and will continue to do so.

Bullard killed his daughter in cold blood near Powder Springs, a short whenever it shall take the matter up for consideration. There is little doubt that the two-cent rate proposition will come before the commission within the time ago, and since his arrest every nex * two or three weeks, possible effort has been made in his behalf. He gave no reason for his crime, even in his statement at the trial, and an effort was made follow ing his conviction to have him declar ed insane. This failed, the physicians declaring him to be sound in mind. The Prison Commission today heard from Herbert Clay and J. J. North- cutt, of Marietta, in his behalf, after which that body declined to recom mend -eeeutive clemency.

The association now has committees at work on the mat ter, but according to the view of the situation presented by Mr. Hudson, the quicker some definite action is taken the better it will be for these plans, so far as accomplishment Is concerned.
