AT SPRINGFIELD
Grand Jury Brings Charges
Against Alleged Leaders
of Recent Riots.
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

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.

SURPRISES WIFE'S LOVER
Xew York Husband Receives Unex
pected Caller Most Rudely.
NEW YORK. Aug. M. David Osten
lives somewhere in Brooklyn. 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.

Reform Association Objects to
Annexation to Belgium.
SENDS PROTEST TO ROOT
Urges Secretary of State to Insist on
Guarantee of Abolition of Abuses.
Declares Belgium Pro
poses No Reforms.
BOSTON, Aug. 21. 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. . .
Congo Renters Uneasy.
BRUSSELS. Aug. 21. The refusal of the
Belgian Chamber of Deputies .to shoulder
the debt of the Congo Independent State,
which was evidenced yesterday when the
Chamber adopted the treaty annexing the
Congo to Belgium, has caused disquietude
among the holders or Congo renters.
Nevertheless a defect In the Congo reve
nues Is regarded as entirely improbable.
WILL CURB AUTOMAMIACS
Chicago to Ask State legislature for
Stringent Law.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21. 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."

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.

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. Several persons

Government Nets Total of

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

California leads in special use busi
ness, partly because of the large
amount of water power developed and
party because of the larger population

upon their resources. This state will
receive as its share of the National
forest proceeds about $52,000.

ond annual convention this evening:

vice-president, U. S. Webb, of Califor
nia; secretary-treasurer, W. H. Dick
son, of Colorado.

mittee appointed by the president.
Attorney-General U. S. Webb, of Cali
fornia, discussed the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitu
tion, especially In relation to the ques
tion of dealing with alien races in Cali
fornia. Speaking of the troublo that
arose In San Francisco over the admis
sion of Japanese children In the schools
of San Francisco, he said that the Fed
eral Government had Interfered with a
law of California, whclh had existed
for a long time, using the Fourteenth
Amendment and a treaty with Japan as
a club.
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.
Mr. Webb expressed the belief that
eventually the amendment would be re
pealed. Democrats Oppose Gumbllng.
