TUESDAY MORNING. THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER. OCTOBER 25, 1904. CHARGE ON LYNCHING HORROR NOT YET AT AN END. Judge Daly Says It Is the Duty of the Bullock Grand Jury to Indiet AlL Who Are Impli.

cated Statesboro, Oct. Judge A. F. Daly charged the grand jury of Bulloch County today that It was their duty to Indict the lynchers of Cato and Reed. He said all who participated in that mob were guilty of murder, the same as Reed and Cato, the difference being that the former were bolder than the latter.

Judge Daly said, in part: "It you do not intend to respect your oaths in this matter, you have no bustness in this body. As a result of this lynching. erime has been rampant in the Middle Circult. The lawless element, It seems, is composed of men who are considered good citizens, and there was no excuse for this crime. The law had been promptly applied and I congratulate your entire bar of attorneys.

They did not take advantage of technicalities to delay the law. "One crime car not compensate for another. This crime 1g not against Reed and Cato so much as against the law. It is to be regretted that the military failed to do its duty. At the courtmartial there was an effort by the militia to blame the civil authorities for the lynching, and even they ace cused the court of complicity.

This was simply an effort to get out of trouble. You know whether the court and civil officers were guilty. "If you find that the court or any is guilty, it is your duty to return Indictments. We are not exempt. The courtmartial produced.

evidence that some of your citizens were leaders of the mob, and if you find this to be true, you must indict them. It you return the indictments, I will see that the men have a prompt and fair "trial, and I belleve your petit Jurors will return true DEATH OF EDGAR REDDOCH. the Leadias Young Citisens Laverne.

EICHT DOCTORS And Many Remedies Failed to do a Cent's Worth of Good. About five years ago I was troubled with sore hands, so sore that when I would pat them in water the pain would very nearly set me crazy, the skin would peel off and the flesh would get hard and break.

There would be blood flowlog from at least Afty places on each band. Words could never tell the suffering I endured for three years. I tried everything that I was told to use for fully three years, but could get no relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none of them seemed to do me any good, as my hands were as bad when I got through doctoring as when I first began. I also tried many remedies, but none of them ever did me one cent's worth of good.

I was discouraged and heart-sore. I would feel so bad mornings when I got up, to think I had to go to work and stand the pain for ten hours, and I often felt like givlng up my position. Before I started to work mornings I would have to wrap every Anger up separately, 80 as to try and keep them soft and then wear gloves over the rage to keep the grease from getting on my work. At night I would have to wear gloves in bed. In fact, I had to wear gloves all the time.

But thanks to Cuticara, the greatest of all great skin cures. After doctoring for three years, and spending much money, a 50c. box of Caticura Ointment ended all my sufferings. It's been two years since I used any and I don't know what sore bands are now, and never lost a day's work while using Cuticura Ointment." THOMAS A. CLANCY, 310 N.

"They argue, in effect, though unconsclous of the logic of their complaint, that a Southern man particularly who believes that his country has power to prevent these things, 1s an enemy of his section and of his race.

TOUR OF FAIRBANKS COMPLETES STRENUOUS DAY WITH SPEECH AT COLUMBUS. Michigan Will Next Be Traversed 'by the Republican ViceCandidate, His First Address to Be Delivered at Monroe.

Columbus, 0.. Oct. Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana, Republican nominee for Vice-President, concluded a strenuous day of campaigning with a speech tonight in the Columbus Auditorium before an audience which packed the floors and galleries of that building. Throughout his tour of Ohio, which began across the Ohio River from Wheeling and ended in the capital city tonight, the Senator was accompanied by Governor Myron T.

Michigan will be traversed by Sena tor Fairbanks tomorrow. The first speech is expected to be made at Monroe very early in the morning.

At the meeting tonight in the Columbus Auditorium Senator Fairbanks spoke In part as follows: "We make no claims in behalf of Republican policies and Republican administration which are not justified by actual experience, and we make no charges against Democratic policies and Democratic administrations which are not fully warranted. The Democratic. party criticizes Republican expenditures, but its criticisins are vague; they are quite indefinite. The fact is that public expenditures have been measured by our public requirements. They have no more than kept pace with our rapid development.

AD expanding nation must not hesitate to make all of those outlays which safety and the prompt and successful dispatch of the public business require. We should pursue no niggardly policy and should not hesitate to meet fully the public needs. "Our Democratic friends indulge in extravagant and unfounded statements, not only with respect to expenditures in the United States, but with respect to expenditures in the Philippines. The foremost leaders of Democracy persistently claim that We have, expended $650,000,000 in the archIpelago. Some even assert that the amount will approximate twelve hundred millions of dollars.

The records of the War Department show that both 'of these statements are grossly inaccurate. The total expenditures in the archipelago is less than two hundred millions of dollars. should bear in mind that the expense of the civil administration is borne entirely from the Insular treasury. The opposition seems anxious to create an Issue in the Philippines which will arrest public attention and divert it from the disastrous record of the last Democratic administration and from the contemplation of the unsound policies of the Democratic party in the United States, Let us beware that our minds are not drawn from the consideration of those great domestic lems which vitally concern our future commercial and industrial prosperity, our national strength and honor."

President Fornes of the Board of Aldermen on behalf Mayor McClellan, welcomed the foreign visitors to this city. Mr. Carnegie, in reply, returned thanks for the cordial Invitation extended. After referring to the meeting held here fourteen years ugo, he said: "Upon our last visit the institute was amazed at your.

extroordinary development, but they find today that rapid as that has been, It has proceeded at even quicker paces since then. The figures are positively staggering. Your product of pig iron the year we visited you, 1890, was 9,200,000 tons; in 1903 it was over 18,000,000. Thus in thirteen years it has doubled. In bessemer steel, production has much more than doubled, and in open hearth steel the increase is more than eleven fold, from half a million tons in 1890 nearly 6,000,000 tons In 1903.

Your export trade in manufactures has increased nearly three folded In the decade 1890 to, 1900 you 13,500,000 to your population and the national wealth has increased from sixty-five to ninety-four billions of dollars. No wonder we come to see for ourselves and study such portentous growth. "There is but one source of intense satisfaction open to our British members in doing so, for they cannot fail ty remember that while to you is I to be credited the development of the iron and steel industry here, It is to their older land that you are indebted for the inventions which have rendered such wonderful development possible. The institute congratulates the republic upon this surprising increase." TO THE ROUTS. Food the Cause and Another Food the Cure of Stomach Alls.

Francisco, Cal. MY. PRICE FIFTY CENTS PER BOTTLE HEARST HEARING ON RESUMPTION OF CASE BEFORE COMMISSION. New York Editor Alleges Collusion on the Part el the Coal Carrying Railroads In Fixing Prices. New York, Oct.

hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission on the charges brought by William Randolph Hearst alleging collusion on the part of the coal carrying railroad companies in fixing and, maintaining the price at tidewater today in this city. The hearing had been adjourned since May 27 last. The specific complaint is that the railroads involved have fixed excessive charges for coal in restraint of trade and in deflance of the Sherman antitrust law. The complainant represented by his counsel, C. A.

Shearn, has sought to produce such evidence before the Commission as would compel the reduction of the price of coal at tidewater east and west and secure the punishment of the alleged conspirators. The railroad companies involved include the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, Erie, Delaware and Hudson, New York, Ontario and Western. Central Railroad of New Jersey, Reading and Delaware; Lackawanna and Western. The first witness called for the complainant was Robert H. Crum, a member of a Chicago mercantile agency who identified a number of price cards giving the Chicago retail price of coal for March, April, May and June, 1904.

The cards were submimtmted as evidence, but their admission was objected to by attorneys for various interests. The objection was overruled and the price card and circulars were admitted in evidence. In announcing the ruling of the commission, Chairman Knapp said that the evidence in regard to the price cards and testimony along that line is admissible, because it may tend to sustain the charges that the respondents are unreasonable in their charges for coal at tidewater. R. H.

M. Claggett, agent of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, the next witness called, produced memoranda of meetings attended by the witness and the Chicago representatives of other coal carrying companies at a Chicago hotel. The mem: oranda showed the names of thirteen dealers. In reply to questions by Commissioner Prouty, the witness sald there were other wholasale dealers in Chicago, but he could not recall the names of any of them. The witness said he never agreed upon any price for coal.

He said had his instructions from his superiors at Philadelphia and did not have authority to make any changes in prices. It was 1,700 or 1.800 retail coal dealers in Chi undoubtedly do true, he said, that the cago charged uniform prices. Platt, general sales agent of the E. J. Valley Coal Company of ChicaLehigh called to the stand by Mr.

go was Shearn. He said he had attended some of the meetings of the wholesale and western agents of the coal dealers companies of Chicago and had received memoranda of some of the meetings. The witness did not know who sent the papers, and had, he said, to the best of his knowledge, torn them up. It developed then that the minutes of the meeting, all in typewritten form, referred to those present by number and not by' name except in occasional Instances. Mr.

Platt said the conferences had Jurisdiction in the establishment and no maintenance of prices. "What did you do when you found retailers varying prices?" was asked. "I always tried to keep a uniform price among my own customers. When they cut prices I talked to them and showed them where they were wrong." The witness concluded by saying that the conferences had no regular organization, no. Chatrman and no Secretary and that they were only gatherings to discuss trade conditions to compare notes on the general situation.

The case. will be continued tomorrow. ENTRENCH AS THEY ADVANCE. Japs Shrapnel Fire Causes Change in Russian Tactics, Mukden, Oct. Pekin.) -The Russian forces on the left again crossed the Shakhe River October 21, and are now pushing forward towards the Japanese positions, entrenching as they advance.

At the same time, Russian batbutteries are continually, bombarding the Japanese. plainly seen busily engaged in the making of I trenches. This plan of the Russians to entrench as they advance was adopted because It was found in the recent big battle that it was impossible to advance without some protection in the face of the Japanese shrapnel The Russian batteries are now better screened than they were in former engagements, but the troops on both sides apparently make no great efforts to conceal themselves. The Russian and Japanese armies are now separated by less than four miles and the whole field of operations of both armies can be plainly seen. The question of fuel is becoming a serious one.

The greater part of the Chinese corn has already been used for fuel, and for fodder, while most of the houses in the Chinese villages have been destroyed and their wood used for fuel.

Says Democrat "Fixed Up" the Colonization Scheme. New York, Oct.

The examination of Richard Van Cott, son of Postmaster Van Cott, and Bankston McAvoy, a postoffice employe, on charges of aiding illegal registration, was resumed late today before Justice Wiatt. Benjamin D. Levy, who was on the stand at the last hearing, was the only witness heard in today's proceedings, and the time was taken up with his cross-examination by T. J. McManus, counsel for the defendants.

Levy admitted that he had pleaded guilty to the larceny of $75 from Van Cott April 2, 1902. He said he was not guilty of the offense, and the sentence has been suspended. He admitted that he had sworn before the civil service board that he had never been arrested or charged with crime. Levy said since'he made the affidavit before Justice Wyatt October 4, concerning the alleged colonization, he had been -living in the home of one of the employes of the attorney general. The witness in answer to a question declared that "the whole was "fixed up" with a Democratic politician.

When asked if he did not make a remark in a billiard room that he was "going to put up a job" on Van Cott and get considerable money out of it, Levy said he did not remember. On redirect examination in reply to a question by Deputy Attorney General Collins he said: told a friend of mine that I had a deal on that meant at least $200 -to me and a good position after it was ended. I told my friend that he would be on for half of the $200 when it went "Where did you say you would get the money? "From Richard Van Cott." "Did you mean you were going to get money for putting up a job on Van "No." Adjournment was then taken until Friday, Mr. Collins said: "I would like to ask counsel for the defense not to' seek to arrest our witness Levy on a Federal or other legal process because of his testimony here until the end of this examinatio Mr. McManus made that promise.
