CORONER GETS EVIDENCE Autopsy Shows Manner of Death of Louis Johnson Complaints From AVhltes and Blacks in Small Towns. SPRINGFIELD. III.. Aug. 21. Six more alleged riot leaders have been nnirhi in th rranri lurv here. The tnnuisitlonal bodv tonight returned In .tmAnt ncrninst nix Dfon8, the dnrnmnii rhariini 20 separate of All wors nredicated upon the trouble at Loper's Restaurant and were Identical with those cnargea s"i" vn. Hnvin In the Indictments re tnrnpri vesterday. The Jury has as yet confined its mmrir tn I n vc t i srat in g the riot at Loper's. except In the case of Abraham Raymer. who was indicted for murder vesterdav in connection wnn m lvnrhinK- of William Donnegon last Saturday. "We have only made fair start," M Assistant State's Attorney Winston "With the evidence that comes In and the seeming determination of the grand Jury to rid the community of the lawless element, there is every cnance that half a hundred or more indict ment, will be returned within the next few days." Bail Fixed at $2000 Each. The persons indicted today are Ernest Humphrey, huckster; Rudolph Bredemever. mechanic; John Schiemle, grocery clerk; William Sutton, cabman Herbert Carr. blacksmith. and one other man whose identity was kept secret at the order of Judge Crelgh tnn. because he is understood to have fled from Springfield. Humphrey, Sohlemle. Bredemever and the fugitive were each indicted four times for arson and riot. Carey and Sutton were made, the subject of two indictments each the same offense being charged. Judge Creighton fixed bail at $2000 for each Indictment. Among the witnesses before the jury today was Harry Loper. He nad testi fied at the Coroner's inquest yesterday that he had little recollection of the Identity of the mob who destroyed hia establishment, but it was stated to night that he made important revela tions to the grand Jury. It was thought for a time today that the Coroner's Jury which haa been at tempting to fix responsibility for the death of Louis Johnson, who was Killed in the Loper riot, would find its work In vain. Coroner Woodruff discovered that no autopsy had been made of the body and the cause of death was con jectural, one version being that John son fell into the basement and broke his neck. In order to clear this doubt the Coroner and a phjslclan went to Mechanicsburg. where the body had been buried, exhumed the body and performed an autopsy which showed that he had been shot through the throat. Dr. Frank R. Wheeler pre sented this conclusion to the Coroner's Jury tonight. He testified that an un dertaker had sewed up the wound and that It was Impossible to determine whether the bullet entered from the front or back. He gave It as his 'opin ion that Johnson was shot In the back. because the wound there was cleaner. "Xiggers" Told to Leave Town. The email towns of the county con tinue to be danger spots. At Buffalo, a village 15 miles from here, the following notice has been posted at the Interurban trolley line station: "All niggers wanted out of town by Monday. 12 A. M. sharp." It was signed by "Buffalo Sharp shooters." Complaints also filter in daily from the mining camps coming from whites and negroes alike. Each race seems distrustful of the other In hese com munities, and Sheriff Werner Is puz zled as to how to cope with the situ ation. The city was guarded tonight by Deputy Sheriffs and police with the Seventh Infantry held in reserve. PRIVATE KLEIX GIVES BONDS Illinois Guardsman Accused of Kill- inj Earl Xelson With Bayonet.

Nobody seems to know Just where, and it doesn't make any difference. His wife, who . Is a very good-looking woman, lives on the first floor at 33 East Sixty-aeventh street. Last night Osten called to se his wife. She was out. Let in by the Janitor, Osten sat down to wait for her. Pretty soon Josephine O'Hara, the janitor's daughter, came up to say that a gentleman on the telephone wanted to know If he might call on Mrs. Osten. "Ah, ha:" muttered Osten, or words to that effect, and then told the girl to tell the man certainly, to come right along. And after taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves and taking off his collar and putting hia watch on the mantelpiece and doubling up his fists, Osten sat down again. When somebody rapped at the door a little while later, Osten opened It and saw Harry Olaen. of 217 East Thirty-third street, in his very best, with a big bunch of pink rosea In his hand. Osten said, "Come right in," grabbed Olsen by the neck and started in to fan the apartment with him. But in his haste Osten got a poor hold, and after a few revolutions Olsen broke away and ran through to the rear of the apartment. Osten was but a few feet behind, but Olsen dived through a window Into an areaway only eight or 10 feet below. Then the husband went out and got Policeman Kane, of the East Sixty-seventh-street station, who picked up Olaen and ar rested him on a charge of disorderly conduct for being In Osten's apartment without the latter's permission and for diving through the window.. From the station-house an ambu lance took Olsen to the Presbyterian Hospital to receive care for a frac tured wrist and contusions. The big bunch of pink roses, which went through the window with Olaen went with him to the station-house. COMMIT HEINOUS GRIME SOLDIERS BRUTALLY MAL TREAT WYOMING WOMAN.

Formal protest against the annexation by Belgium of the Congo Independent State was forwarded by telegraph today toy Secretary of State Root by the Congo Reform Association, a National organization with headquarters In this city. The protest is as follows: Association protests against Belgian an nexation of Conro on nresent terms, will appeal to country. Ijrge you tor insist on suarantees abolition forced labor and con cessions; and institution freedom of trade. The corresponding secretary of the as sociation, John Daniels, issued today an appeal to the press and to the public, urging them to enter their protests with Secretary Root against the proposed an nexation. The appeal states that the pro visions of annexation are not in accord ance with the acts of Berlin and Brus sels, don't Involve a radical reform of the Congo system and will amount to little more than a raising of the Belgian nag over the Congo. . .

First Assistant Corporation Counsel B. C. etten an nounced yesterday that alarmed by tho Increasing number of automobllists the next Legislature would be asked to pass law compelling classification of the various kinds of machines, the licensing of all drivers, and possibly barring from the city streets those cars whose high power makes their speed far in excess of tbe city's regulations. "A casual examination of the report of motorcar accidents seems to show that many of them occur when the machines aro driven by young persons or by women," he explained. "At present there Is no way of preventing this and no way of making sure that anyone has the capar bllity and experience necessary to handle a large machine. "A law will be asked which will allow a man to drive his machine if he knows enough about it, but which will prevent his children from taking turns at im perilling tho lives of pettestrians. Every season makes such a law more neces sary because every season brings Into the market cars with more complicated mechanisms." LION WHELPS STARVING Unnatural Mother Refuses to Per? form Her Maternal Duties. CHICAGO. Aug. 21. Cy de Vry. animal keeper at Lincoln Park zoo, was search ing yesterday for a Great Dane dog to act as mother to four Hon cubs. They were crying plteously for something to eat. They had been born the day before, and their mother refused to suckle them. De Vry tried to Induce them to drink out of a large nursing bottle that he had used with success once in the case of a baby llama, but the whelps sniffed It disdainfully, and whined worse thas ever. "There Is only one thin that will save them," said the animal keeper, "and that Is a Great Dane dog to act as foster mother." The mother Hon snarled viciously at everyone who came near her cage. She would not look at her whelps.If De Vry had not interfered the unnatural lioness would have killed them. NEW' YORK, Aug. 2L Bismarck. "King" of the Central Park loo, and his wife.

EMULATES DARIUS GREEN Farmer Insane From Heat Soars on Paper Wings. GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. it. In an attempt to fly with a pair of wings of his own construction, Arioch Wheeler, a farmer of North Mianus, who has been reading accounts of aeroplane ex hibitions, jumped from the roof, of Hi ram Jameson's barn and nearly met his death in the waters of Mianus River. . Wbeeler has been following recent aeronautical experiments with keen in terest After working in the sun most of the day he suddenly left his turnip field and made for the house. Later Martin Jacobsen and Harry Lewis were attracted by a man to whose shoulders were attached wings of heavy wrap ping paper six feet in length standing on the top of Jameson's barn. "I am -Count Zeppelin," cried the strange figure, and before he could be hindered he leaped into space. The rear of Jameson's barn is about 10 feet from the edge of Mianus River, so that Wheeler alighted in the middle of the stream. He was pulled ashore unconscious. When he came to he was perfectly sane, and said he had no recollection of the escapade. Physicians say that he was suffering from the heat. SURRENDER BETHEL'S MAN English Consul-General Refuses Co rean Editor Protection. SEOUL. Aug. 21. The British Consul- General today unconditionally surrendered to the Corean authorities the editor of the vernacular edition of the Daily News, who escaped from the police on August 13 and sought refuge in the home of B. T. Bethel, the English proprietor of the paper. Bethel at that time raised the English en sign above his gate and positively refused to surrender the editor to the police on their demand, claiming for him extra ter ritorial protection from the British Con sul. The trial of the editor will shortly commence on the charge that he was con nected with the misappropriation of a part of the Corean national loan redemp tion fund. SHERMAN TO JVIAKE ANSWER (Continued From First Page.) Individuals will continue to voice pro tests. With President Roosevelt, Mr. Taft, Mr. Sherman, Mr. Hitchcock, sev eral New York members In Congress and other state leaders for Mr. Hughes, it wa3 not believed possible that the fight against the renomlnation of Mr. Hughes can gain any headway. In fact, political leaders are now predicting that no other nama will be presented to the conven tion. Mr. Sherman and Mr. Hitchcock ar rived at Republican headquarters today shortly after 11 o clock. Mr. HitchcocK was asked for a statement concerning the conference at Oyster Bay, but he said that he preferred that the announcement should be made by Mr. Sherman, witn out hesitancy Mr. Sherman said: "Well, the consensus of opinion among those who gathered at Oyster Bay to con fer with the President was favorable to the renomlnation of Governor Hughes. It was developed by the reports received that the candidacy of Mr. Hughes is broader than New York state lines. The sentiment in the state seems to be de cidedly toward giving Governor Hughes another term." After Mr. Sherman had concluded hia statement he appealed to Mr. Hitchcock for Indorsement of his expressions. "You are "exactly right," said Mr. Hitch cock, "and have stated the facts more clearly than I could have done." Both he and Mr. Hitchcock then said that no other name had been considered at the conference in connection with the Governorship. The question that was un der discussion was whether it would be to the best interests of the National tick et to have Mr. Hughes lead the Repub lican ticket or to nominate some other man for the Governorship. The opinion generally expressed was for Hughes' nom ination. ALBANY, X. Y., Aug. 21. Governor Hughes refused to comment today on the announcemeaf of his indorsement at the conference of party ieaders with Presi dent Roosevelt yesterday. Race Riot In Chicago. CHICAGO. Aug. 21.

SOURCES ARE VARIOUS Montana, California and Colorado Lead In Timber Sales; Oregon, Utah and Idaho In Grazing Permit Receipts. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington. Aug. 21. Figures Just made public by the Forest Service show that under the new law requiring 25 per cent of the gross proceeds of National forest business to be paid over to the states and territories in which the forests are located, to be used for public schools and road3, the last fiscal year will yield these states J447.063. The amounts which go to each vary from J313 for Arkansas to over $75,000 for Montana. The small amount for Arkansas is because the two National forests In that state were created so recently that they have not yet got falrlv under way. Oklahoma, with one small 'National forest, receives $551 Kansas. $644. and the next smallest after these is Nebraska, with $2360 Since the forests in these last two states were set aside from land nat urally destitute of trees, that the Gov ernment might try forest planting on them. It will probably surprise most people that they should yield any rev enue at all. National forest business is chiefly of three kinds, grazing:, tim ber sales and sceclal uses, the - latter comprising the use of the lesser re sources of the forests and the permits involving the development of water Dower. It is Interesting to note the states in which the largest volume of each of these three kinds of business Is done and study the causes which make their revenues correspondingly larger. Mon tana, California and Colorado lead in timber sales. In the case of Montana and California this fact Is mainly due to the accessibility of the timber in the National forests. The fact that the timber can be readily reached and aulckllr transported to market has created a heavy demand, which is re flected in the volume of business, Colorado Is almost absolutely depend ent upon rhe National forest timber for its mining operation. Each of there states will receive over $50,000 from the proceeds of the forests. Idaho. Utah and Oregon head the list of the states In grazing business The causes in this case are several. In the first place, these states are sup- Dlied with more abundant forage, largely on account of more plentiful precipitation. In some cases the ranges will support a sheep to the acre, whereas the ranges elsewhere will often support no more than one sheep to from four to six acres. Again, the grazing' methods are, as a rule, more intensive in these states. a higher class of herders is employed, and a better grade of stock Is kept. Management, moreover. Is more mten sive. Sheep are handled In small bands, and the herders in running them are able to keep them in scat tered order, so that they do not do so much damage to the range as does the larare bano which can be controlled Feed Your Nerves Upon rich, pure, nourishing blood by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and you will be free from those spells of de spair, those sleepless nights and anxious days, those gloomy, deathlike feelings. those sudden starts at mere nothings, those dyspeptic symptoms and blinding headaches.

Idaho's share of the receipts Is over $56,000. California leads in special use busi ness, partly because of the large amount of water power developed and party because of the larger population adjacent to the forests and drawing upon their resources. This state will receive as its share of the National forest proceeds about $52,000. NAVAL HEROES HONORED Names Selected for Five Xew Torpedo-Boat Destroyers. WASHINGTON, Aug. II.

The exact terms of the "truce" agreed upon at the conference in Washington, he said, had never been made public, but it was known that the School Board had agreed for the present to admit Japanese in any school, and he was In formed that for the present the Japa nese had agreed not to ask for such admission. Another objection to the Fourteenth Amendment was that it admits to full citizenship the children of Japanese and Chinese born In this country.
