THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUMT 2, NUMBER 208. BASEBALL SEASON MSI NOW BE OVER • ♦ Pilots May Not Secure Grounds for Game with Y. JVI.C. A s. RECORD OF THE LOCALS They Have Played 22 Games During the Season, Winning 14 and i Losing 8, Which is an Ex s 1 cellent Showing. The base ball season may be over, as far as Brunswick is concerned, and the Indications are that local fans will not have the pleasure of witnessing an other game. Manager Coleman has succeeded in making arrangements with the Y. M. C. A. team of Savannah for games Monday and Tuesday, a double-header to be played on Tuesday, but it seems that the Pilots cannot get the ball ground Monday. Some time ago the colored labor union applied to Capt. T. Newman, who has charge of the park, for the grounds for Labor day, and he let them have it. The negroes are to have an all-day picnic Monday, and have rentedjthe entire fair grounds for the day. However, the colored teams have no ball game on for the day, and it is probable that the Pilots may be able to rent the bail park from the labor union for the afternoon. It is to be hoped that satisfactory arrangements can be made, as much interest is being manifested in the games between the Savannah team and the locale, inasmuch as they are even for the year. Two games have been played in each city, eacli team ‘winning two, and the last three would <bo doubt prove exciting. Brunswick fans are quite anxious to see Harmon, the star Savannah twirler, do some pitching. He lias made a great reoord during tire year, and has only lost one game. The Pilots are very anxious to play these last games, and are sanguine that they will capture the series. The record made by the Pilots this year has been an excellent one, and will show up with any team as far as percentage is concerned. The Bruns wick boys have played 22 games. Of that number they have won 14 and lost 8, making their percentage .636. With the Savannah teams, the Pilots have come out way ahead. They have played 12 games with teams from that city, and have won 10 of them, losing the two games to the Y. AI. C. A. team. The record of games played, won and lost, is as follows: Team.

THE STORY WAS TRIE Someone Has Made Mis statement Concerning Shooting Tuesday BETWEEN IHE LABORERS Story of the Trouble Was Secured by the City Editor of the News From Officer Carroll Who Was on the Scene. Either Chief of Police Burney, Police Officer Carroll, or that afternoon news paper (for it is not known who is re sponsible for articles published in it,) have misrepresented facts in an effort to discredit an article published in The News yester day morning, concerning the attempt of strikers to drive scabs out of the city. The facts of the matter were ob tained by the city editor of The News from Policeman Carroll, in the pres ence of officers Berrie, Gregory, and others. It was learned at The News office .about 11 o’clock that a number of strikers had visited a house in the rear of Mr. Mike Brown’s yard, and attempted to drive the scabs from it; whereupon, the laborers, or one of ttiem, securing a shot-gun, tired into the strikers. Mr. Carroll told The News reporter ttie facts in the matter. News of this nature is always se cured from the police barracks, and a reporter generally accepts the story of an officer as authentic. Chief Burney also makes the state ment that the colored union is not giving the police department the least, trouble. If this lie true, will the chief kindly tell us why Assistant Chief Owens and other officers were mounted last night, keeping a close watch over that section of the city where the scabs are located? The News is indulging the hope that there will be no trouble, but at ttie same time it is a clean newspaper and is compelled as such to publish all facts. The strike situation is now about at an end. The laborers employed by Stevedore Julius May are now at work, no advance having been grant ed, and they are receiving the same old pay. All of the lumber merchants have ample workers, and it is under stood that many of tlie strikers are now anxious to return to work at the same old scale. LUMBER FREIGHT RATES.

About 9 o'clock lw.t Friday night Williams went out of his house and in response to a call walked some dista-niee awajy. Soon; rftlterward his wife heard several shots and on in vestigating found Williams lying on the ground with several gun shot wounds in his body. He lived only a short time afterwards and could not say who shot him. William’s wife accused a young white man of doing the deed but tho coroner’s jury could find no evidence against him and declared that the un fortunate man came to his death at the hands of unknown parties The Williams family wan a rather ugly one and the words of the wife tarred up the neighboring negroes CARPENTERS GO OUT OS STRIKE Number of Them Quit Work on Public Build ing Yesterday. TROUBLE OVER THE HOURS % Contractor* Are Behind and Asked the Men to Work Nine Instead of Eight Hours, Which They Refused to do. A number of carpenters working on the public building yesterday morn; ing quit work on account of a little differenoe existing between them and the contractors. The number that went out was eight or ten. Bit seems that the carpenters all along have been working eight hours per day, which is the hours worked by all government employees, but the local union designates nine hours as a day’s work. Tuesday Mr. IV. H. Bowen, the con tractor, informed his men that he was considerably behind with work, and would ask the men to work nine hours for awhile, at least. This some of the men refused to do. and did not go to work as usual yesterday morning. Mr. Bowen was seen by a represen tative of The News yesterday, and when questioned on the subject, he gave out the above facts. Mr. Bowen said that the carpenters have only been working eight hours, and now that he was somewhat behind.wit li t tie carpenter work, he wanted them to work tiie extra hour. A majority of them agreed to do it, but eight or ten walked oat. However, Mr. Bowen thinks this will not long delay the work, as the old men will either return to work or he will employ others today. Some of the carpenters were also seen by a representativeof Tiie News, and they state they have only been re quired to work eight hours in the past) and they did not see why they should now work nine for the same pay. Japanese Deny Entrance. Pekin, Sept. 2.—A telegram has been received hc.r,■ announcing that the steamer Stanley Dollar, formerly a Danish vessel, but now owned by an American, Bruit by a Russian company from Tien Tsin to Yongampho, at the mouth of the Yalu river, Corea, for a cargo of lumUrtr from the Russian con cession of 6iie Yalu river, was prevent ed from entering the port of Yongamp. ho by a Japanese gunboat, whoso com mander said that Yongampho was noL an open port and that foreign vessels had no right to enter.

Otto Fensterbush, who has been cm. ployed on the public bundling for some time, left a few days ago for Seattle, Wash., where he goes to accept a position which will keep him there for some tlime. to such a high pitch that they believ ed that the white people were respon sible for the death of their friend and they proposed to avenge it. Avery large crowd was present at the funeral of Williams and they seemed very much excited. Many threatening remarks were made and it is known that a brother of the da-ad negro has purchased 150 cartridges. These suspicious acts put the white people on their guard. Every white mao in the section has been warned and they are prepared to defend their homes. The negroes, however, seem to real ize how serious it would be for them to start any trouble and some think now that the matter is euded. The sceue of the tsuable is Ocho lockonee, about fifteen miles from this 1 city. BRUNSWICK, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1903. TO SETTLE 4 DISPUTE Alaskan Boundary Com mittee Will Mtet In London Today TO TRY AND SEIILE QUESIION Secretary Root, .r>enator Lodge and "i Senator Turns,',’ Will Represent the United States as Mem bers of the Commission. London, Sept. 2. —The commission apnolinted under the treaty concluded last January between Grcat Brifian and the United States to settle, if pas sible the long standing dispute over the Alaskan, boundry, will meet tomor row morning at the British foreign office and formally organize. Those present will include the three British commissioners—-Lord Aiverstone, Sir Louis Jette (lieutenant governor of Quebec) and Mr. A. B. Aylesworth. Ki C.—and 'the American commis sioners—Secretary Hooit, Senator Lodge, amd Senator Turner. In addition there will be present a great array of counsel to present the two .sides of the case. Tiie question at issue will not be entered into to morrow, the initial session being de voted to the work of organization and the exchange of courtesies. The Alaskan question is one of long standing. Since 1572 Canada has been calling attention to the question year after year. In 1898 a joint high com mission of England and American rep resentatives tried to settle the ques tion, but faiiled. The territory in dispute covers an area of upward of 20,000 square miles- For the most it is mountainous, hut it includes valuable gold mines. The quarrel centers around the ques tion of the whereabouts of the bour.ilry between Alaska and Canada. Origt ml ly Alaska was Russian territory. In 1825 the boundry line was defined, on paper, by a treaty between Russia anil Great Britain. In 1867 the United States bought Alaska from the Czar, and then the Canadian-Alaskan front ier began to be people. As the bound ry line fixed by the 1825 treaty had never been properly surveyed, disputes arose between Canada and the new Owners of Alaska. Throughout almost its entire length the disputed territory adjoins British Columbia on its westward side. The remaining portion in dispute adjoins the famous Yukon territory, and in cludes the eastern boundry of the coast strip from the vacinity of Yaltu at bar to the one hundred and forty bar to the one hundred and forty-first meridian. So far as the latter is concerned the ownership of towns like Skagway and Dyea—famous in the great Klon dike gold rush —is in questiin. The Klondike, indeed, is directly af fected by the quarrel, which it is now hoped will be settled. The ingress and egress to this area by way of Lynn canal. The Americans elajm that ths canal, plus a bolt of territory 30 railqr, east of it, belongs to he United States; while fanada demands that a great portion < *t the upper part of the canal, together with a slice of territory to the he recogonized ,as part of the Dominion. FILIPINO MURDERER’S CASE ExecutMn of Dunphy, a Native, Ref erral to the Supreme Court. Washington, Sept. I.—The War Department has decided to refer to the Supreme court of the PhilSippine islands the case of the native Filipino Dunphy, who was con victed of murder by the military gov ernment and sentenced to death. He escaped and was apprehended after the Philippines passed to civil control. His attorneys make the claim flint the civil government cannot carry out the sentence of the military govern ment. It is expected that the case ultimately will he taken to the Su preme court of the Knifed States. Another Excursion. It is understood that another big excursion will ire operated to Macon arid At lanta, over the Southern rail way on September 19th, and another large crowd is expected to take advan tage of t he cheap rate. Hot Again. Tilt- weather mans prognostication that the entire month of September would probably be cool, seems to be slightly off, and yesterday, while not as warm an it has been for the past mouth, was hot enough to make it' unpleasant 1 PRIMARIES IN MHO lODAT f Both Parties Will Select Candidates at the Polls RESULT EAGERLY WAICHLD Democrats Are Now In Control of the State And Hope to Win Again This Year but They Have a Strong Fight. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 2.—Both parties will hold their primaries in Maryland (tomorrow. The result is awaited with interest throughout the country as the campaign in Maryland this year is of national importance It involves the election of a United States senator, the party standing of a doubtful state preceding a national campaign, and the chances of a dem ocratic leader as a presidential poi-si bility. Although now controlled by the democrats, the independent vote in this state is the balance of power and can swiiimg the state either way. It is the uncertainty surrounding the independent vote that puzzles the po litical managers. McKinley carried the state both times. Eight years ago the republicans swept it on the suite (ticket, and elected a United Slates senator Four years ago the democrats re covered state control. The republi cans are at an udvantaro this year because of factional differences, while the democrats are cainparalively united. For the republican candidate will in all probability be Stevenson Will iamson, of Hartfort county, an emi nent lawyer, whe, as a member of the legislature, has made a splendid tight for aijiti-brJ'oery and ilaiir elections. The lead I ti(; democratic candidate for governor is Edwin Warfield, president of the Fidelity and Deposit company aind a prominent financier. Mr. War field lias had wide experience in pol itics’. For many years before he be came the head of u great financial in stitution he was prominent in poli tics as one of Gorman’s lieutenants. The tickets this year will he among the largest ever voted for, including governor, state comptroller, attorney genera/1, members of t'he legislature, two judges of the supreme bench of Baltimore city, and a number of mi nor oflicers.

MILITARY COMPANIES MAY SOON C *SOLIDATE There is a movement on foot, which has been agitated for some time, to either consolidate Che Naval Ilenorves with the Brunswick Riflemen or to change the company from naval mil itia to infantry , A reporter of the News heard of the contemplated change some time ago and yesterday several officers oi boih ft lie jitt'si/ vos and tWeltiflomon were seen on the subject and they stated that here had been considerable talk of the change, but nothing definite could lie given out at the present time.

TOLD SECOND HAND. An Interesting True Tale of Feeding A bright young woman of Coin, lowa who keeps her eyes open to tell an interesting ami true story of her chum's experience with food. She says: “She had nervous dyspep. sia for several years and when an at tack came on she would go to a phys ician and got relief up to last year when she had the grip which left her very weak and then ! her stomach collapsed and refused to retain any thing but the very simplest foods. Soon site could not eat even those and for seven days she had no nourish ment hut raw egg and milk and she was told by a physician that a change of air and scone might restore her to partial health but sho would never again be well and would probably die of consumption of the bowels. “She always complained of terrible distress after eating whch was soon followed by vomitling yet she was so hungry all the time that she would try to eat. One da|y sHie read an ar ticle on GraipoNuts and ash ed her father to gel some and he wont and bought a package She took a tablespoouful moistened with a little milk. The tape was delicious and satisfying and lo everyone's supprise there was abso lately no pain or trouble in her stom ach after eating it- "After a couple of hours ahe called for some more Grape-Nuts and this time the amount was doubled and Boon after eating it she fell into a- sound, natural uiortg, sleeping for sever..) hours, something she had not (lotto since her illness without the aid of 1 morphine. She continued to usa Grape-Nuts alone for one week Im proving rapidly all the time and then began l to increase her diet as her re turning strength and appetite made this possible. “For months from the time she commenced the use of Grape-Nuts she became a comparatively healthy gin quite strong and vigorous eating, sleeping and working much better than she had done for years. She and all her friends feel that she owes her life to the scientific food Grape- Nuts.'' Name given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.’ - please the majority of the members. To consolidate with the 'Riflemen meets with he approval of a large number of the members, while there are others who favor another infantry company altogether. If the consolidation' was perfected it is probable that there would tie a change in officers, a-s the full set of either company would hardly re main’ . At..k Among the members of the Reserves are some of the most popular young men of the city, ami they take great interest in the company, but do not like the duty to which they are as rfgned, and the idea of changing to an infantry company seems to strike a popular chord with the men.

While it was true that a mumehr of men belonging to the above stated union are out. he cause of an unuasual demand in the way of Increased pay, it j s also true that every lumber and erosstie lirm In the ciity were working their lull quoto of ’hands. There was no delay 'in the transfer of lumber or crosslio •and uptothis time no material damage has been done to the shipping interest of the port. As the News has repeatedly printed ♦he general sentiment of the com munity at this time is most decidedly with the lumbqrmch. No d;..parent, good reason has ever been shown why the laborers of Brunswick should have more pay than those of Charles ton, Pensacola, Savannah and other ports. The unions havo a certain number of sympathizers, but the News is assured that if tlhey will look into conditions at present obtaining in this city as regards the lumber and cross tie traffic they will BO e at oner- lh9 Injuries of the arbitrary position taken by the strikers.
