' Are .Banded—Will Ask Congress g' for $68,000,000 Outright. BEE A Washington special says: The ' southern members of congress are go | Ing to make a determined effort to . fight through the present session a | bill providing for the refunding of the | 868,000,000 of cotton taxes paid dur .in the years from 1863 to 1868, - Wednesday night a meeting was held, f attended by one representative in con ~ gress from each of the eleven south - ern. states affected by this bill, and a !permaﬁent organization was formed. Later eleven southern senators will be :-ursed to join the special committee, ;and work in a systematic and deter . mined way for the passage of the bill. . It is the purpose of the movers to - have congress appropriate the money outright to pay to all holders of cot ton.tax receipts. There will be no need for the employnient of lawyers or lob lbyists to' push individual claims or - any necessity for a reference of claims to the court of claims, | . In this instance the southern mom-“ bers of congress are lobbying for the F-passage of the measure through con-% gress. They may not be successful at “this session, but they believe with sys tematic work they will be successful - next ' segsion. " ‘This 'was the tone of all the talks made. A resolution has béen introduced calling upon the sec retary of the treasury” for a state ment of the amounts paid under the acts ‘of congress levying the tax. In cludg the names of those who paid the tax and the amount paid. The state legislatures throughout the south will be asked to adop}: reso lutions memorializing congress to pass the Dbill. Georgia has glrcady taken -this step. The chairman of the congressional committee is Representative Frank Clark of Florida, who introduced a bill on the first day of this session calling for a refund of the cotton tax and who supported his measure in a masterly argument on the law and the evidence a few days ago. Represen tative Bell of Georgia is secretary. These two, with Representative Hes.- lin of Alabama, constitute a subcom mittee to look after the details of the work. : AR . - ANOTHER ROTTEN CASE ENDS. _Chicago Woman, Who Killed Lover, is o o o Presd-bycdurys o o . Mes, Dora.McDonald, who has been on trial in Chicago.since January 20 on the charge of murdering Webster ,Guerin, was acquitted by a jury in the eriminal court Tuesday night. The - verdict was reached after six and a half hours’ deliberation. The defend ant, who is the widow of Michael C. McDonald, formerly a political leader in Chicago, received -the verdict with out =llotion. : Webster S. Guerin was shot and killed in his studio in the Omaha build ing, LaSalle and Van kLuren streets, February 21, 1907. Mrs. McDonald was alone with him when the tragedy occurred and was immediately arrasted and charged with the murder. Her husband and Leop:. old Freeman, president of the Cham pion Chemical Works, signed bail bonds for $50,000 after her indictment, March 80, 1907. The shock of the tragedy proved dis -astrous to McDonald, and he died Au igt_lst' 9, 1907, after an illness of szev ‘feral weeks. His fortune was: left to ' the accused weman, and his two ‘sons, lone the child of a former marriage. Special provision was made in his will for Mrs. McDonald’s defense. ~ It developed at the trial that Guerin and Mrs. Dora McDonald had been more or less intimate for almost ten years, their relations having bagun _ when Guerin was less than 17 years of age. The state asserted that Guer “in had attempted to dissolve these re lations and that the woman shot him in a jealous rage. The defense attacked Guerin’s char acter, asserting that he had systemat _feally blackmalied Mrs. McDonald for | years. & The trial attracted unusually large crowds, and on several occasions the police and bailiffs had to unite forces to hold the would-be spectators in check, ; " “REMEMBER THE MAINE.” ‘;»Aﬁiﬁvnrs:ry of Destruction of Battle ship Observed in Havana. = The tenth anniversary of the' de Fs‘truo):ldu of the Maine was- observed ~in Havgna with customary ceremonios, A fleet of tugs and launches congregat ‘ed about the wrock of the battleship on which were deposited many floral ~oNerings, including wreaths sent by “the Daughters of the American Rev t olution, Governor Magosn, Mr. Morgan. fthe American minister, Major General _Barry, commander of the American *hpees in Cuba, the American Club “and the Rural Guard. : : R * B _ It was too much apple sauce that got ‘old Adam into trouble, & ; ﬂ_ A o ~ i ;-vii‘ soy.‘ ' o eoy ——e, C 17 . 23 ‘ W B =, A e ) I‘:_\ g m-— S A NCGAGT-S WS v IR 9 RN ‘N P -.-.

Masked Men Make Daring Raid on a North Carolina Bank and Get : All Cash in Sight. : After seeing his bank robbed by three masked men, Caghier W. G. Whisnant was forced, at the muzzles of revolvers, to enter the Vvault, the heavy doors of which wer¢ then locked on the unforturate ofiicial, who re mained in the vault for more than fif teen hours. - : The robbery was committed Satur day night at Granite Falls, N. C.:a thriving town in Caldwell county. The robbers carried off about $3,500 of the bank’s money, overlooking in their haste two packages containing $5,000. The robbery was not discovered un til 9 o'cloek Sunday morning. When Cashier W. G. Whisnant did not aps pear for breakfast his family, thor- | oughly alarmed, instituted search. On‘ entering the bank a feeble tapping was heard in the vault, and when it way opened the missing cashier staggered out, more dead than alive from his fify teen hours of close confinement, & Accordln»g‘to the cashier’s story -bh.re'é?. strange men, wearing. masks, entersd the bank at 6 o’clock Saturday even ing, and while one of them held him up, at the point of a pistol, the other two helped themselves to the banlk's cash. - ; T The work was done rapidly, the rob bers betraying the. utmost coo'ness, When they had appropriated the cash in sight the robbers forced W-hisnant% to enter the vault and locked him in.{ Whisnant declares he made - all the | noise possible in his cramped Quar-] ters, but his disappearance was not noticed until Sunday morni%g when his family discovered his absence. A remarkable feature of the affair is that at the time the robbers, according te the cashier’s story, were looting the bank and locking him in 'the vault, scores of people were on the street in front of the bank, yet no one was at tracted by what was going on. There is no clue as to the identity of the robbers. g WILL USE GEORGIA GRANITE. s N Contract is Finally Awarded for At : lanta Public Building.
