BRIGADE OF TROOPS CALLED
Total Deaths Now Numbers Four
and Over Forty Have Been More
or Less Serious Injured Mob Not
Again Expected to Form.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 15
With one more victim added to the
roll of forty injured in the two rioti
. which began here last night, Spring
field ipent the night in anxiety. Ap
prehension of more aerloui trouble
was modified, but not stilled, by" the
presence of 2500 national guardsmen
rem various parta of the itate un
der command of General Young. To
night's victim of the race prejudice
was an aged negro, William Donegon,
Donegon was a cobbler and inoffen
sive. Tonight the mob let fire to the
shop and the venerable was compell
ed to run into the street. His ap
pearance was greeted by a shower of
bricks and stones. As he staggered
under the fuscilade, he was seized and
his throat cut. Rope was then run
through the wound and the victim
bound to a tree. There he was found
later, unconscious and all but dead.
The phyicinn who dressed the wound
reported that his death is but the mat
ter of hours.
Witnesses to the burning of the
shop turned in an alarm, but when
the firemen' reached the scenethe fire
had been extinguished by some cool
er hands of the mob. The arrival of
the militia sent the crowd running
helter-skelter.
At 1:30 this (Sunday) morning a
mall crowd of roughs broke every
window and the front door of the cot
tage of Clarence Harvey, a negro. A
detachment of troops went to the
scene and brought Harvey and his
family to the county jail. The mob
had disappeared before the arrival of
the troops.
Early this morning friends of Wil
liam Bowe, the county official who
was last night so seriously hurt that
he is hovering between life and
death almost succeeded in enlisting
his followers for a raid of vengeance
on the negroes. Taking the lesson
from last night's experience, Sheriff
Warner a't once notified Governor
Dcncen and the Governor sent a full
brigade of state troops, under com
mand of General Young. In the face
f this display of force, it is not
thought likely that mobs will have
the temerity again to form.
The determination on the part of
the state to prevent further disorder
was shown in the statement made
today by the Governor which says
that the entire resources of the state
will be drawn upon if necessary to
protect every citizen of Springfield
and those who violate the law must
suffer the consequences. So strict
are the regulations keeping people off
the streets that in addition to closing
the saloons, the Mayor caused the
postponement of all theatrical per
formances. One death was recorded
today as a result of the riots, John
Caldwell, who was a spectator of the
fighting in East Springfield, died from
the effects of a bullet wound in the
stomach. His death brought the total
number to four, the others being
Louis Johnson, who was killed dur
ing the raid on Roper's restaurant,
and Scott Burton, an aged negro, who
was lynched early this .morning. Of
the wounded are Frank Delmore and
.Theodore Scott, both shot through
the lungs and are not expected to live
through tlie night and William Bowe,
according -to the physicians has a
fighting chance for his life. All day
timid negroes have been leaving the
city was their families. .
The exodus took place despite the
assurances of Governor Deneen that
full protection would be afforded
those wfio would remain at home.
The Governor also took steps to alle
viate the suffering of families whose

GENERAL WARDELL DIES.
Passes Away While in Company of
His Leper Wife.
TOMBSTONE, Arlx., Aug. 1S
General Wardeel veteran of the Mex
ican and civil wars died today while
in quarantine with his leper wife.
Her sufferings from combined effects
of leprosy, and nervous strain, is at
tendant on the notoriety of case, has
dethroned, her reason and she Is to
tally unaware that her husband is
dead. The efforts to deport Mrs.
Wardcll to the leper colony at Mola
kai, have wrought out many compli
cations, the federal authorities refus
ing and and the territorial officials
being unable to act under the present
law. It is probable Mrs. Wardell
will remain isolated here, and cared
for until her death.

American Tariff Commission in
Session at Paris
NEW SCHEDULES LIKELY
America Asking France to Make Re
duction in Burdensome Rate on
Cattle and Meats, and For Removal
of the "Bounty" on Flour.
PARIS. Aug. 15. The American
tariff commission under the chairman
ship of James B. Reynolds, assistant
secretary of the American treasury,
after having been in session for sev
ered weeks. with the French commis
sion, has now rached the last stages
of its labors. The next step will be
the preparation by each commission
of its answer to the requests of the
other, after which there will be a
joint meeting to exchange final views
and proposals. The commissioners
are investigating the complaints of
French and American exporters and
they have discussed generally the
question of tariff relations between
the two countries.
Each commission is sitting sepa
rately. They have in the course of
their meetings given many hearings
to business men and business inter
ests.
The principal requests made by the
American commissioners ha9 been a
reduction in the burdensome restric
tions on the entrance of American
cattle and meat into France which
have made export trade to France
practicaly impossible, and that the
French encourage the exportation of
flour to that country under conditions
which do not amount, practically, to
bounty. The United States has
asked also for changes in the French
customs procedure.
The French commissioners object
ed to certain of the American customs
regulations and the American meth
ods of arriving at valuations espec
ially on FranceS high priced manu
factures, as porcelains, laces and
silks. They claim also that the rig
orous pure food las in the United
States are enforced so technically
and interpreted so narrowly that this
course might result in practically
shutting the American market to
French products. , .

IMPROPER CONDUCT TO WIFE
Captain Peter Canover Haines Jr. is
the Son of General Haines, U. S. A.,
Retired Mrs. Haines Dies in the
Hospital After Shooting.
BAYSIDE, Wash., Aug. 14.-Cap-tain
Peter Conover Haines, Jr., son
of General Peter Conover Haines, U.
S. A., retired, fired seven bullets from
a revolver into William E. Annis, the
owner and publisher of the Burr Mc
intosh Monthly and other magazines
late today on the landing stage of
the Bayside Yacht Club, Annis
through Captain Hainies' brother had
been accused of having been improp
erly attentive to the captain's wife,
who died in the Flushing hospital a
few hours after the shooting. A
crowd of gaily dressed women and
yachtsmen, among whom was Mrs.
Annis, who witnessed the tragedy.
Captain Haines, accompanied by
his brother, Thornton J. Haines, a
ell known author and amateur
yachtsman, were walking to the club
as Annis and a club member named
Harvey, were disembarking from
their boat and opened fire on him.
Annis attempted to get behind Har
vey, but Haines reached under Har
vey's arm and emptied the revolver
into his enemy. Immediately there
was a commotion: Mrs. Annis faint
ed and a dozen yachtsmen rushed to
the float to the assistance of Annis.
Before they cculd get to the side of
the wounded man however, T. J.
Haines whipped out a revolver and
threatened to shoot the first man who
interfered. '
"This affair is between these two,"
he said coolly.
Annis had two bullets in the abdo
men, one in the arm and two in his
legs. Captain Hainies and his broth
er, neither of whom appeared in any
way disturbed, awaited the arrival of
the police and surrendered them
selves. Captain Haines is attached to
Fort Hancock as quartermaster.
Both Captain and Mrs. Haines
have friends in Washington, who
have kept close track of the applica
tion for divorce filed by the former
last June and they recall the fact
that Haines eloped with his wife, a
Miss Claudia Libby, of Winthrop,
Mass., in 1900 when she was a school
girl of 16. So far as is known they
lived happily together until Captain
Haines returned from a trip to the
Pacific Coast on a summons from his
brother, who claimed to have made
discoveries of improper conduct on
the part of Mrs. Haines. At the time
Captain Haines summoned his father
to New York who upon returning
stated that his daughter-in-law had
made a confession to him of the cor
rectness of the sons position. The
couple have three children which are
in the custody of General Haines.

THEY STOLE BALLOTS.
Election In Manila After Approved
American Methods.
MANILA, Aug. 13.-The local pd
lice have discovered that copies of the
official ballots used in the recent mu
nicipal election in this city were sto
len prior' to the election and used in
an illegal manner at the polls. The
extent of the fraud is unknown as yet
but it is thought that the ballots were
used chief! to make certain of the
manner in which the supporters of
certain candidates voted.
It is expected that the election will
be contested which will permit the
opening of the ballot boxes in order
that an examination of the handwrit
ing on the ballotr may be made.
Many protests against the seating
of Simeon Villa, elected alderman at
this election, have been received by
the governor, but no action has been
taken in the matter as yet.

FOR AFRICAN EXPEDITION
' ....5 .
Right Bower of His Father on the
Great Trip For Big Game Now
Studying To Make Good Camera
to Have Powerful Lenses.
NEW YORK, Aug. lS.-Kermit
Roosevelt is to be the official photo
grapher with the President's party on
the African hunting trip. In prepara
tion for this important work the
young man is studying with Frank
M. Chapman, the ornithologist of this
city.
The responsibility which will rest
on Kermit's shoulders will be heavy
for all his father's accounts of his ad
ventures in the jungles of the dark
continent are to be illustrated. It is
also understood that the President is
enxious to bring back photographs
of rare African birds and other ani
mals taken in life, for the big mu
seums, including the Smithsonian In
stitute at Washington and the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History here.
The President was anxious to have
Mr. Chapman accompany him, but
when this was found to be impossible
it was decided Kermit should get a
complete camera outfit and be
ed in its use by Mr. Chapman.
. r. Chapman has long been a friend
of the President. He is associate cu
rator of the Department of Ornithol
ogy of the museum of natural history
and has made a study of the photo-!
graphing of birds and animal
The question now under considera
tion by Kermit and Mr. Chapman is
the best kind of photographic outfit
to take. It is expected that the ca
mera alone, with the several '.enses,
including a powerful . long range
lense, will cost about $250. He will
have to "snap" birds hopping and fly
ing, and wild animals in motion. It
is not unlikely that a taxidermist of
either the American museum of nat
ural history of the Smithsonian In
stitute may accompany the President
to prepare the skins of the big game
which the President manages to kill.

TAFT ON THE JOB.
Is Again Secretary of War Busily
Engaged With Wright.
HOT SPRINGS, Aug. lS.-Judge
Taft was secretary of war again to
day, at least to the extent of finding
himself deeply engrossed with his
successor, Luke E. Wright in ab
sorbing question of Phillipines, Cuba,
and Panama as well as innumerable
odds and ends of the war office where
only a few except himself know
the history. Taft explained that at
present there will not be added to
the machinery of the Philippines at
present department of agriculture
which the president has power to
create. Establishment of five de
partments, executive, commerce and
police, interior, public instruction and
finance and justice is regarded as ac-
compiisnment towards sett govern
ment, sufficient for the present and
the president will be so informed by
General Wright. The decision ifc
based on the objection to increasing
the cost of the Philippine govern
ment. Taft admitted today that he had
received a number of letters from
residents of New York State, with
out exception urging the re-nomina-icm
of Governor Hughes. Taft said
the writers were mostly unknown to
him and undoubtedly addressed h,im
because he was the presidential can
didate of the party. He had taken no
position in the contest, he said, and
should not interfere in any way. None
of the letters, he said, were from po
litical leaders.
MAY EXECUTE POACHERS.
VICTORIA, Aug. lS.-Further ad
vices regarding the sentence to death
of six sealers off the seized Tananese
train-'sealing schooner Miye Maru at Nicol
aiefski brought by the Empress of
China last night, show that the 36
Japanese who were arrested for poa
ching at Copper Island seal rooker
ies attacked the Russian guard during
the journey from Vladivostok, several
being wounded on either side. It was
for this that six Japanese were sen
tenced to death by court martial, and
have appealed to St. Petersburg.
The, fight occurred because the
Russians insisted upon the arrested
sealers' walking in the roadway in
stead of on the boarded sidewalk. The
Japanese considered this an insult
and attacked the guard, the-skull ad:
of one of the' Russians being crushed
with a stone.
The Japanese government has made
a strenuous protest to Russia against
execution of the sentence on the six
sealers.

EACH CALLS THE OTHER LIAR
Detective Burns, Who Brought Them
Back From Chicago Says Cases
Against Them Are Perfect and Both
Will be Indicted.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. lS.-The
Bulletin tonight asserts that Clau
dinos has made a full concession to
District Attorney Langdon and De
tective Burns furnishing the names
and persons implicated in the dyna
mite plot, and giving full data of
times and places of conferences at
which the details were planned.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aue. lS.-Pet-
er Claudianos, the Greek arrested at
Chicago several days ago and who ar
rived here last night, was placed in
the city hall after midnight, having
been kept at some lace not revealed
by the prosecution during the evening
hours. John Claudianos. brother of
Peter, who is in jail on a charge of
being implicated in the dynamiting of
ex-Supervisor Gallagher's Oakland
house some months ago, and who in
volved Peter in the several confes
sions he has made, was not confron
ted with his brother last night.
According to a statement published
here Peter denied any knowledge of
the dynamiting cases in talking with
-
the detectives on the train.
"John is a liar," Peter is said to have?
declared. "I don't know the first
thing about these dynamiting cases,
and all he has said about me is a lie.
I'm not going to talk about he case,
though, for all the papers have been
printing lies about me and I'm sick
and tired of it. What did I light out
for if I didn't have anything to do with
it? Why, I knew if they caught me
that I'd have to spend a lot of time
explaining, and would probably have
to stick around in jail here for three
- four months. I didn't want all
nat trouble, so I lift out. I tell you
I won't talk"
Detective Burns who , brought the
Claudianos from Chicago said yester
day that the cases against Peter and
his brother were perfect, and declar- '
ed they would be convicted. .
