CAUSE OF TRAGEDY
Columbus, Ohio, Kept. 12.—Sherman
Dong, a carpenter 42 years old, was
murdered at 8 o'clock last night at his
home, 7S3 South Fifth atreet, by his
brother-in-law, Frank Miller, aged 00,
n basket-maker.
After killing him, Miller fired at
Long's son, Jacob, then ran out of the
house, and. climbing Into his buggy,
drove rapidly away. He was captured
three hours later at his home. A chargo
of murder was placed against him.
Tho tragedy waa the outgrowth of
trouble between Miller and hts wife, a
sister of Mrs. Long. It Is alleged that
Miller bent his wife and that she at
times went to her sister's home for pro
tection.
HAZING REVIVED
AT FREIGHT DEPOT
Although hazing has been stopped at
most of the colleges, It came out In the
recorder’s court Thursday that It la
a practice still continued at the.Geor
gia railway freight depot. Cheater Cole
told about It and how new employees
are forced to do various stunts Ly the
older freight handlers. Chester resist
ed the Initiation, drew a revolver and
compelled his tormentors to ''run like
atrlped apes," as he expressed It. He
was arrested for carrying concealed
weapons and bound over on that
charge. His defense was that It was
only a cap pistol, but Special Officer
Hamilton produced a leaden pellet that
he dug out of the floor, and the record
er decided it did not come from a pistol
of the toy variety.
Nobody accused Cole of trying to
shoot anybody. The witnesses testified
that he shot Into the floor, and that
they then gave up the Idea of hazing.
Cole told a vivid story of what he
had heard about the hazing of other
negroes. He safd they were forced to
eat a quart of oats without taklnc a
drink of water, and every time they
stopped eating the other employees
would whack them with barret staves.
Sometimes, ho said, the menu won
changed to uncrackedf corn, and once a
man was compelled to eal a quantity
of hay and sawdust. The witnesses did
not deny his story.
Crawford Jackson Leavts.
Rev. Crawford Jackson left Thursday
morning to attend the National Prison
Association, which convenes In Chicago

ed as one of tho delegates from Georgia
by Governor Smith.
1st, waa pronounced mentally Incompe
tent by the sheriff's lury in Brooklyn
today.
The Jury retired at 3:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. At 10:30 o’clock,
having reached no agreement, the fif
teen men were locked up for the.nlght.
At 9 o’clock this morning the Jury an
nounced that they had reached an
agreement and the counsel and court
attaches were brought Into court. The
foreman of the Jury handed a seated
verdict to the commissioner. When
road It disclosed the fact that the Jury
had sustained the contention of Miss
Minerva Vanderbilt that her father waa
Incompetent to manage his affairs, ow.
Ing to the Influence of Mrs. Pepper.
An interesting development In the
case Is the statement from Caroline B.
Harrow, the mysterious “woman In
blue," that Mrs. Pepper's slater, Har
riet, was the actual partner of the
spiritualistic Ann.

TOO MUCH TOOTING
FOR OAKLAND CITY
Residents living between Atlanta and
Oakland City are making complaint
that the Atlanta and West Point and
other shifting engines are doing an un
necessary amount of whistle blowing.
They aay that as soon as an engine
crosses the city limits the whistle starts
and keeps up for 200 yards until the
engine gets Into Oakland City. This,
they say. Is because both Atlanta and
Oakland City restrict a railroad's toot
ing. while In tbe county there Is no law
to prevent It. It Is probable that a
petition of some kind will be started.
