CITIZENS WARNED TO 'ARM
Scries of Brula Crimes Continues
unci l'ollco Seem Powerless.
Cily Advised to Buy Blood- '
hounds for Pursuit.
PITTSBURG, Nov. 12. Emboldened by
the apparent helplessness of the police
nnd detective forces, the hold-up men and
burglars that have terrorized this city for
the past ten days have apparently extend
ed their operations into broad daylight, as
veil as working under cover of darkness.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon, at the cor
ner of Sixth avenue and Wood street, one
of the most crowded spots In the heart of
the city, and within a few hundred feet of
police headquarters, Mrs. A. G. Boykin
was assaulted and robbed by two men,
who made their escape. The men had
been following the woman, according to
lier statement, and, as she turned the cor
ner, they separated. One hurried In front
of her, while another walked immediately
behind. The latter grabbed her about the
waist, while the man In front wrenched
lier muff and purse from her hands and
made off. She was thrown to the side
walk and sustained severe bruises.
In the meantime the members of busi
ness firms are holding indignation meet
ings and drawing up petitions to the
Mayor and police officials.
Vigilance Committee Formed.
'The murder of Smith in the East Knd
by burglars, yesterday morning, has
aroused that section, and tonight a meet
ing of the East End Board of Trade was
held, at which a vigilance committee was
appointed. A resolution . warning citizens
to arm themselves and recommending the
purchase of several bloodhounds will be
presented to the board and in turn pre
sented to the newly appointed committee
for action.
Newspapers are offering rewards of
thousands of dollars for the arrest of
each or any of the flayers of James A.
McMillan, who was killed a week ago, or
of Harry F. Smith.
Record of One Nijrlit.
The record is extended by the rob
bery of Charles R. Lawrence, who early
yesterday morning at Fifth avenue and
Urady streets, almost in the heart of the
city, was knocked unconscious with a
slingshot and robbed of a gold watch and
all his money while going home from the
Hotel Sehenley, where he is employed
as a waiter. He will be confined to
Ills bed for a week with his injuries.
Nicholas Lewis, of Sharpsburg. a few
miles from the city, was beaten and
robhed and did not recover consciousness
for several hours.
Raymond White, of Dimuesne. was also
found early yesterday badly bruised with
several ribs broken. Ho also had heeu
ribbed and could give no description of
bis assailants.
Woman Nailed to Sink.
The crucifixion case was brought to
llslit by the screams of a woman in a
tenement on Forbes street, near the
Jones and I,aughlln Steel Mills. Nelgh
ttors rushed in and founi Mrs. Jean Mitch
ell, l!l years old. in the kitchen, huddled
in a kneeling position on the floor, with
both hands nailed to the draining-board
of the sink, with the blood running down
her arms. Alongside her lay a hatchet,
the weapon which had driven the two big
nails and which was then used to draw
them out.
The woman was unconscious and was
taken to a hospital. When she recovered
she said that when she entered her flat
that morning something struck her on
the back of the head and she felt herself
drawn toward the sink, her hand pressed
down against the board and two nails
driven in. The police are looking for
William Kneeiy. known as William Mitch
ell, and the husband of the woman.
The day's series of violent deaths was
further augmented by that of 9ciatla
Kanuci. an Italian, who was stabbed in
a tight among railroad laborers in a
boarding-house. Three others were bad
ly cut up by stilettos and razors.
PeteV Nazidencl, an Italian, died in
the Emergency Hospital from a bullet
wound tired by Peter Fedora Nazidencl
was playing a mandolin, to which Fe
dora objected, threatening to shoot off
Nazidenci's thumb. The threat was car
ried out and In addition to carrying away
thumb, the bullet penetrated Nazidenci's
abdien. Fedora is under arrest.
GILLETTE TRIAL BEGINS
New York Man Charged With
Drowning His Sweetheart.
HERKIMER, X. Y., Nov. 12. Chester
Gillette, a young man of good family, was
placed on trial here for his life today. He
Is charged with the murder of his sweet
heart, Grace Brown, whose body was
found in a lake in the Adirondacks on
July 21 last. The girl had gone to Big
Moose, near where her body was found,
with Gillette. After they had registered
at a hotel the couple went for a boat
ride on the lake, and that was the last
time she was seen alive.
It was supposed at first that both Gil
lette and the girl had been drowned,
as their boat was found floating on the
lake with the girl's coat in it. Miss
Brown's body was speedily found, but
Gillette could not be located. Later some
one stated he had seen Gillette hurrying
through the woods, and a search was
made for Gillette on suspicion he had
murdered the girl. He was arrested July
I at the Arrowhead Hotel, at Inlet. An
extraordinary term of the Supreme Court
was convened by order of Governor Hig
ftins so the case might be given to a
grand jury. The Jury Indicted Gillette
for murder, and his trial was set for
today.
The prosecution, it is expected, will
contend that Gillette killed Miss Brown
to get rid of her that he might be free
to devote his attention to another girl.
negro class causes some apprehension in
the minds of immigrants, it is said,
operates against the South receiving what
it thinks is its proper share of laborers
from abroad.
Various plans are suggested for ridding
the South of Its worthless negroes and
the race question was thus early in
jected Into the discussion. Governor D. O.
Heyward of South Carolina, speaking of
the plan to deport negroes, said the de
portation could not be attempted unless
it became a National and not a Southern
movement.
"In the course of time." he continued,
"the negro, who is now rapidly Increasing
In certain cities of the North, may by
his failure to meet the expectations of
people of the North and form such a
hindrance and menace that our Northern
friends will be ready to do something
more than simply give advice to the
South."
Governor Heyward did not believe that
the antagonism -between the races in the
South was as serious as had been re
ported. In conclusion he said:
The white race is the predominant race and
the negro must understand once and for all
that the bounds of the social and political
question will be determined by the white
man alone and by the white man's code. ' If
he refuses U adjust himself to those inflexible
conditions, then the negro will have to go.
LAND AGENTS SHUT OUT
RAILROADS ARE FORBIDDEN TO
GIVE REDUCED RATES.
Commission's Decision Throws 50,
000 on the World Blow to
Colonization of West,
CHICAGO, Nov. 12. (Special.) The In
terstate Commerce Commission again has
ruled that the Issuance of transportation
or reduced rates to land agents Is Illegal.
All railroads In the West today announced
that they would discontinue the practice,
and a majority of the 50,000 land agents
who are registered with Chairman Ma
hony of the Western trunk line commit
tee soon will find themselves out of work.
A few of the most successful agents
will be kept by the railroads on salary,
and even this may be held illegal. This
means that the methods employed In col
onizing the country west of the Miss4s
sippl River must be revolutionized. The
Rock Island system, for example, has
been Bending fully 10.000 people every two
weeks through its various gateways Into
the Southwest, and how this work can
be continued is a problem .
HIGHEST RATES IN MISSOURI
Expert Gives . Strong Evidence
Against Burlington Road.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 12. E. M.
Fisher, the expert accountant of St. Paul
employed by the State of Missouri to ex
amine, the books of the Chicago, Burling
ton & Quincy Railroad, before F. L.
Schoticld, special master in chancery, who
in the Federal Court here is hearing
testimony as to whether or not the
freight rates fixed by the maximum
freight law passed by the last Legislature
in Missouri are too low, testified today
that the net earnings of the Burlington
in Missouri per mile were 90 per cent
greater than in any other state In which
the Burlington operated and the witness
declared that the Burlington freight
rates were from 25 to 35 per cent higher
in Missouri than in any state east of the
Missburi River. Fisher had statistics to
prove his assertions.
This is the case brought by the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad to
restrain the State Board of Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners and the Attorney-General
from enforcing the pro
visions of the rate law passed by the
last Missouri Legislature. Tho Burling
ton, contending that it cannot adhere to
the rates on furniture, livestock, agricul
tural implements and lumber and make
a profit, secured a temporary injunction
six months ago restraining the state of
ficials from enforcing the law. Two weeks
were spent hearing evidence In the case
in Chicago recently, when Attorney-Gen-erald
Hadley attempted to show that the
rate fixed by law is reasonable.
C. I. Sturgis of Chicago, general audi
tor of the Burlington system, testified as
to the cost of maintenance of the system,
and gave figures to show that. If the
maximum freight law had been enforced
against his road, it would have greatly
cut its earnings.
TOO EXPENSIVE TO RAILROADS
Commission Asked to Change Rule
on Filing Tariffs.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. About 40
prominent railroad men representing the
freight departments of their respective
roads were, present in the Interstate Com
merce Commission's offices today and
conferred with Commissioner Clark on the
subject of posting rate schedules or tar
iffs. It is expected the conference will
continue several days.
The chief subject of discussion today
was the requirement that rate schedules
be posted conspicuously in every office of
the railroads. The freight departments
asked for the privilege of merely filing
the tariffs with the agents of railroads,
subject to the call of any peroon who
desired to see them, claiming the literal
application of the law would cause an un
necessary outlay of money and labor. Mr.
Clark invited 'further discussion.

EXPLOSION KILLS THREE
Locomotive of Sunset Limited Blows
Up Xear San Jose.
SAN JOSE, Cal., Nov. 12. Three men
were killed and several persons slightly
injured by the explosion of the engine of
the southbound Sunset Limited train on
the Southern Pacific road at Sargent's
Station last night. 1
The dead:
Joseph Goodfellow, superintendent of
the Southern Pacific block system.
Samuel Gillespie, engineer of the train.
James Bladon, fireman.
The bodies of Goodfellow and Gillespie
were picked up near the wreck, badly dis
figured, having been almost blown into
fragments. James Bladon, the fireman,
was hurled 60 feet from the station and
although breathing faintly when found,
he expired a few hours later. None of th
passengers was seriously injured.
When the boiler exploded, the cab was
hurled into the station, which, was being
passed at- the time, destroying that struc
ture, and the huge boiler, weighing 100
tons, shot forward through the air, strik
ing the track more than 300 feet from the
spot where the explosion occurred. The
empty trucks continued at their 60-mile-an-hour
gait until the boiler was struck.
This ponderous mass of steel served as j
a bumper for the swiftly on-rushing train I
of Pullman sleepers and tourist cars, and I
it was pushed forward through the gravel
and ties for 20 feet more before the train
come to a stop. The tender, mail car,
chair car and two tourist sleepers were i
derailed, and some of the passengers were :
badly shaken up. but the last six cars re-
mained on the track without damage to
them or injury to their occupants.
A panic followed the sudden stopping
of the train and it was with difficulty that
women passengers were restrained ( from
Jumping headlong into the ditch. The
track was cleared this morning.

the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern

ing close to the. boiler, building the

which clarifies the water before its pas
sage into the boiler. The shock of the
explosion was heard for six miles.
