KNOT HEARST
Bennett Charges Pat McCar
ren Vouched For the
Payment.
Buffalo, N. Y„ Sept. 25.—State Com
mitteeman. James O. Bennett, of su
rer Creek, Chautauqua oounty, sate he
wai offered $1,000 yesterday to desert
Hearst and to assist the Ryan-Bel-
mont-Sheohan ring of corporation
Democrats Jn organising the Demo
cratic state convention. He says he
was told to meet Joseph Fanning at
Main and Eagle streets and discuss the
subject further.
Fanning came from Indiana two
years ago. He was a partner there
of Thomas Taggart, chairman of the
Democratic national committee. Fan
nlng was In the national headquarters
In New Tork during the Parker cam
palgn and August Belmont took a fan
cy to him. Fanning Is now In Bel
mont's office.
Bennett went to William J. Conners'
headquarters and reported the matter.
Mr. Conners advised Bennett to see
how fsr the element opposed te Mr.
Hearst would go.
Bennett left the Iroquois hotel, met
Fanning and they entered Into
earnest conversation. They talked fur
five minutes and parted.
Bennett, on reaching the hotel, went
to the third floor, as per arrangement.
Fannin* went to the room occupied by
William F. Sheehan on the first floor.
Pat McCarren was standing In the long
corridor, and as soon as Bennett walk'
ed out of the'elevator McCarren ad.
vanned and the two men met. They
talked for about ten minutes.
When the talk was over Bennett said
McCgrren’s Anal words were:
SHOT BREAKS GLASS

"You deliver the goods; we’ll do our
part. How can we know that you will
vote with us?"
"That plan works both ways,” Ben
nett declared he answered. "How am
I to know that you will make good of
ter I have pjayed the game for you?"
“You can'depend on me,” said Me.
Carren. “My word Is good."
Bennett refused to agree to that pro-
position and there the matter ended.

The Town Appeals for Help,
Explosion Charged to
Railroads.
Jelllco, Tenn„ Sept. 25.—At the cor
oner's Inquest yesterday testimony was
heard which Increased the death list of
last Friday's explosion from seven to
twenty-two, and five are still missing.
Fifteen men who were standing near
the car ikere killed by the explosion.
A country woman lame here search
ing for flye children to whom she
gave permission to go to Jelllco Friday
nnd attend a effeus. It Is feared they
were killed by the explosion, and that
the full list of dead may reach twenty-
seven. The body of an unknown girl,
probably 2 years old, was found In a
field a half mile from the scene of the
explosion. It was perfectly nuds, but
not mangled. •
The coroner's Jury rendered a verdict
that the explosion was due to the crim
inal negligence of either the Louisville
and Nashville or Southern Railways, or
both, or their employees.
The mayors of Jelllco, Tenn., and Jel-
11,‘o, Ky„ have Issued an appeal for
help. .
CORPORAL WHITTEMORE
THROWN FROM HI8 HOKSE.
t'orporal Joe Whlttemore, of the gat-
ling gun squad on duty at the scene of
the Brownsville rioting Monday night,
was thrown from his horse Tuesday
morning about 9 o’clock and his foot
severely hurt. Corporal Whlttemore
had been relieved from duty and had
started back to the city when the acci
dent occurred. He came to town and
his Injured foot was dressed.
Forty cltlxens, armed with Winches
ters, patrolled West End Monday night
to preserve order.
A meeting'of West End residents was
held Monday evening at 7 o'clock at the
corner of Lee and Gordon streets. One
hundred and fifty of the leading cltl
xens were present. Sheriff Nelms was
chairman of the meeting, and Rev. M.
L. Troutman, pastor of Park Street
Methodist church, secretary.
One hundred and fifty cltlxens were
sworn In as officers of the law, and
forty men were detailed for duty Mon
day night. John Jentzen, chief of the
sanitary department, was made chief
of the night watch.
Absolute order and quiet prevailed
until 5 o'clock Tuesday morning, when
a disreputable looking negro slouched
down Gordon street. The patrol called
upon him to halt, but Instead of doing
so the negro began running.
Instantly the patrol began firing. One
shot entered the home of Joel Chandler
Harris, but did no damage other than
smashing a window glass, and arousing
the sleeping household. None of the
shots struck the negro and he quickly
disappeared.
The fusillade of shots, however,
brought slumbering male West Enders
to the streets, clad In various and
often picturesque dishabille. Pajamas
of %any cuts and color*, nightshirts
that failed to hide bare shanks and
shivering limbs, pattered down the
street In the early dawn. And the
weapons In evidence were of all de.
scriptlons—Winchesters, revolvers, new
and ancient, old shotguns, clubs and
other things—were clasped In the hands
of tha-alarmed cltlxens.
Finding that the trouble was not se
rious, the slightly clad male citizens
returned to warm beds for another
snooze before the business day began.
The citizen patrol will be maintained
nightly until all possibility of trouble
has ended.

WOMAN DIES OF FRIGHT
AS NEGROES ARE SLAIN
Watching an enraged crowd of men
shoot to death on the front porch of
the home of Park Commissioner Rob
ert H. Manley, 491 Crew street, two
negro men, charged with having been
members of the mob that ambushed a
party of county police and killed Coun
ty Officer Jim Heard, an Innocent wo
man met death.
Mrs. Robert C. Thompson, of 495
Crew street, soon to becomo a mother,
rushed to the front yard of her home
Monday night when sounds of shots
were heard. 8he saw the bodies of the
negroes, Sam McGruder and Wiley

Without *a word Mrs. Thompson fell,
and when her family reached her they

the wife of Robert C. Thompson, an
employee of the Excelsior laundry, and
was 35 years of age. Besides her hus
band, she leaves two sons, aged 10 and
years. . ' .
Events leading up to this tragedy
came swiftly at 10:30 Monday evening.
Sam McGruder and Wiley Brooks had
been arrested as members of the mob
of negroes that flred.on the county of
ficers earlier In the evening, on the
Jonesboro road, killing Jim Heard and
wounding Officers Odum, Eubanks,
Jordan and Citizen Ernest Smith.
The negroes were being brought to
the Tower on a Lakewood car. When
the car reached the corner of Crew and
Jefferson streets It was stopped by a
posse, and the officers began a strug
gle to keep their prisoners. In the row
the two negroes escaped and ran up
Crew street with the ctowd In full cry
behind them. As they reached the
home of Commissioner Manley, Mc-
Gruder and' Brooks turned Into the
yard In an effort to escape. As they
reached the front steps the crowd be
gan pouring shot Into them and both
fell, riddled with bullets and buckshot.
Believing both dead, the crowd
quickly dispersed, leaving the bodlos
lying at the steps. Commissioner Man-
ley telephoned for the Grady ambu
lance and tho desperately wounded ne
groes were taken there.
Shortly after reaching the hospital
Sam McGruder died of his wounds.
Wiley Brooks' Injuries are severe, but
he will recover.

Paris, 8ept. 25.—A reign of terror
once more holds sway over the French
capital, but this time the terrorists are
foot-pads and assassins, not revolu
tionaries. Scarcely a day passes that
some shocking crime does not take
place In the very center of the city,
among the crowded streets In full day
light. The police are either powerless
against these creatures or afraid of
them.
The other afternoon a couple of
Apaches were sauntering down the
boulevard when they saw a workman
seated at a cafe table drinking cold
"Just look at that cheek,”, sold one
of the Apaches, "him sitting there
having Iced drinks while we haven’t a
cent to buy a drop of absinthe," and
thereupon'he whipspd out a revolver
and fihot the workman dead.
It eufflees for the Apache to take a
dislike to a man's face or his clothes
for them to shoot or stab him on the
spot. For several years no Parisian
has dared stir out after nightfall un
armed, but now peaceful dtlsens are
obliged to carry weapons for self pro
tection by day as well.
The demoralisation of tlje French
cha'uffeur Is due to the enormous
wages paid by the American employer
abroad. Is the theory advanced by M.
Paul Meysn, who writes on this sub'
ject In the France Automobile.
He declares that Americans abroad
high wages as do Europeans,
and as an example of the extremes to
which American automoblllsts will go
In this direction cites the examples of
the late Clarence Dlnsmore, who paid
his chauffeur, Braun, 12,000 francs
year.
French automoblllsts are apt to be
very bitter against American owners
of motor cars In Europe. They say that
not only do they spoil their chauffeum
by allowing them enormous wages and
almost unlimited license upon the road,
but they are the most selfish and In
considerate of the safety of the general
public, and other motorists upon the
road than any other people In the
world.
"No wonder we take to the airs,"
said a celebrated aeronaut, who used
to be an expert motorist. ‘Lately the
Americans have driven us off the earth
with their devil-may-care driving."

An ambitious but delicate girl, after
falling to go through school on account
of nervousness and hysteria, foqnd In
Grape Nuts the only thing that seemed
to build her up and furnish her the
peace of health.
•From Infancy," she says, "I have
not been strong. Being ambitious to
learn at any cost I finally got to the
high school, but soon had to abandon
my studies on account of nervous pros
tration and hysteria.
My food did not agree with me, I
grew thin and despondent. I could not
enjoy the simplest social affair for I
suffered constantly from nervousness In
spite of all sorts of medicines.
This wretched condition continued
until I was 25, when I became Interest

like mine and who were being cured

“I had little faith but procured a I six
and after the first dish I experienced a
peculiar satisfied feeling that I had
never gained from any ordinary food.
I slept and rested better that night and
In a few days began to grow stronger.
"I had a new feeling of peace and
restfulness. In a few weeks, to my
great Joy, the headaches and nervous
ness left me and life became bright and
hopeful. I resumed my studies and

“The Toast of the Town."
It Is not saying too much that Miss
Jane Kennark never appeared to better
advantage than os Betty SJngleton;
never satisfied her followers as 00m
pletely. The role Is one which colls on
the actress to portray very various
emotions, from the comic to the tragic
note, bliss Kennark appears In many
fine scenes In "The Toast of the Town,"
some delightfully comic, some sweetly
pathetic, while others are Intensely
dramatic. In other words, Betty Is a
great role and Miss Kennark has risen
with great success to the opportunities
presented. There Is a striking con
trast between the first and last acts of
the play. In the first, Betty Is discov
ered In (he height of her success; su
preme, happy In her love, and bub
bling over with animation. Then Betty
meets with the deepest of disappoint
ments, an unrequited love, and In the
last act we have her In as sweetly
pathetic a scene as has been known to
the Stage In years. This act, while one
of the best In the play. Is the quietest,
and yet It makes the deepest Impres
sion of any of the four. We have had
three acts of bustling comedy and stir
ring drama, and then follows the al
luringly pathetic. It Is rather curious
that this last act, which leaves no dry
eyes, should be considered one of the
very best In the play. In this act Miss

London, Sept. 25.—A momentous 1
change has taken place In habits of'
London society. Initiated by the king.
His majesty disapproved of the ten
dency to make the dinner hours later
and later, and has decreed that the
fashionable dinner hour shall be 6:30 to
7:30 o'clock.
Before this change was Instituted
society dined from 8 to 9 o'clock. The
dinner hour, which Is a return to ear
lier manners. Is welcomed by every
body. It will benefit the theaters, which
lost many patrons through the late din
ner hour, and It will also send more
people to the restaurants for supper.,
People who dined at 8 o'clock were not
always inclined for supper afterwards,
and could not reach the theater before
the middle of the performance.
The distress In London through lack
of employment will be greatly miti
gated during the coming winter by a
system which has just been Inaugu
rated. A "labor exchange” has been
opened in each of the twenty-seven
metropolitan boroughs for the purpose
of organizing the supply of labor to I
meet the demand, nnd finding work!
for the thousands of Idle workmen.
The system of a provision of the un
employed act of 1906, under which a
small tax, levied for the purpose, pro
duced nearly $150,000, of which about
$64,000 has been spent In establishing
these labor exchanges.
Each exchange Is connected by tele-,
phone with a central exchange, where-,
by a demand for labor In any district
may be communicated to all the other!
exchanges, and men supplied from dls-l
tricts where the demand Is small.
A new club for "gentlemen’s gentle
men" Is to be opened In Mayfair by!
