BUCHANAN TO WAIVE IMMUNITY Will Go to New York, Furnish Bail ! | ana Adopt No Ditatory Tactics in | Conspiracy Case. i Washington, Dec, 31.—Former Rep. H. Robert Fowler, Henry B. Martin and Herman Schulteis, identified with Labor's National Peace Council and indicted in New York under the Sher- man anti-trust law for conspiracy to restrain trade in munitions, demanded a preliminary hearing when they ap- peared today before United States Commissioner Taylor to make a (or-.' mal return to the indictment Hearing was set for Jan. 20. Rep., Frank Buchanan of Illinois, | on the same charge, sent word to the { department of justice today that he would waive all question of immunity g0 to New York as quickly as possi- ble, probably within a week, furnish bail and adopt no dilatory tactics. The demand for a hearing came as | a surprise to the government. Henry E. Davis, for the defendants, ex- plained he did not believe that such an indictment would lie under the Sherman law, or any other law. “The Sherman law was aimed at the suppression of competition among traders, while the men named in this indictment are in no way competitors with the men whose trade it is charged they were , conspiring to interfere | with,” said Mr. Davis. SEVEN NEGROES KILLED | BY WHITE POSSEMEN Two of Latter Seriously Hurt in Race War in Geor- gia. Blakeley, Ga., Dec. 31.—Excitement caused throughout this section by clashes between white possemen and negroes near here yesterday in which seven negroes were killed and two ‘whites seriously hurt, had not entire- ly died down today. Influential white citizens who were busy until late last night in efforts to prevent further possible outbreaks, expressed the belief, however, that thére would be no more trouble. Five of the negroes were shot and | killed and two others were burned to death, according to reports here, as a result of three pitched battles be- tween the negroes and various bands of whites seeking to capture Grandi- son Goolsby, a negro farmer, and his two sons Mike and Ulysses, accused of assassinating Henry J. Villipigue, an overseer, who had thrashed one of the younger Goolsbys. Villipigue was shot in the back Wednesday night, his wife narrowly escaping death from several other shots fired after he fell. The negroes reported dead were Grandison Goolsby, his two sons, both of whom were burned in a cabin in which they sought refuge; ‘“Hosh” Jewell, Charles Holmes, James Bur- ton and Early Highlower. Jewell and Holmes were killed in aiding the Goolsbys stand-off a posse | led by Sheriff Howell of Early county. Burton and Highlower met death re- sisting another posse which sought to search their cabin. It was estimated that there were several hundred whites in the various posses, and it was said that probably | half a dozen were wounded. Samuel Pittman and O. B. Huds- peth, member of the sheriff’s posse, | were the only two white who were known here to have been wounded. Pittman’s right arm was broken by a shot, and Hudspeth was shot in the head. He is expected to recover. The killings took place in the west- | ern part of this (Early) county, about ten miles west of here and near the Alabama border.

A. Carlson Claim John Agren Caused His Death ARE SUING FOR $10,000 Case Was Thought to Have Been Con- cluded When Authorities Declared There Was No Criminal Responsi- bility—Resume of Sensational Case. In a desperate attempt to secure proof to show that the death of Sven August Carlson of 444 Church street, who died suddenly at his home on December 21, was the result of a beating he is alleged to have re- ceived from John Agren of 468 Church street on the night preceeding the body was exhumed from the burial plot in Fairview cemetery yes- terday afternoon and this morning aa autopsy was performed by Dr. Philip Bunce of Hartford, assisted by George H. Bodley and Dr. T. Eben Reeks of this city at the undertaking | rooms of Erickson and Carlson. The autopsy was performed at the | order of Judge John H. Kirkham, who has been engaged by Carlson’s estate to fight a suit for $10,000 dam- ages against Agren on the grounds that Agren caused the death of Carl- son. Resume of the Case. On the night of December 20, Carl- son met Agren in this city about 9 o’clock and the two visited M. T. ‘White’s cafe where they had several drinks. From there they went to Hadley’'s cafe and near 11 o’clock ar- rived at Charles G. Anderson’s Patrk street saloon. Here a fight ensued between Carlson and Agren in which, it is alleged Agren succeeded in knocking his antagonist onto the foor. After the fight, however, Carl- son was able to proceed home alone and did several household duties before retiring. The following morn- ing he was taken sick and Dr. E. T. Fromen was called. Two hours later the man died. Medical Examiner Harry A. Elcock gave the cause . of death as apoplexy resulting from -ur- emic poisoning to which the deceased had long been subject and for which he had been treated by a Hartford physician. On the day before the funeral stories were afloat that Carlson died as a result of the beating he receiv- ed. Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett, Chief Rawlings, Detective Bamforth and Dr. Elcock and Dr: Fromen held a consultation and it was the unamious opinion that Carl- son died from natural causes and that the fight was simply an unfor- tunate coincidence. The police ran down every clue and among other witnesses interviewed were Mr. Agren, John Anderson of 541 Pakk street, John Anderson of 383 -Park street and Willlam Carlson of 130 Cherry street. All declared that Carlson did not seem to have been badly used in the saloon and that he was able to go home all right after some blood had been washed from his face. Agren Broken Hearted. Agren was broken hearted over the affair. He told the police that he had been on friendly terms with Carlson for thirty years and their respective families were intimate. His version of the affair was that as he stood next to Carlson beforé the bar, Carl- son kicked him in the leg. He asked him to explain why he did it and re- ceived a slap in the face. The two men grappled, fell to the floor and Agren came out on top, It seemed that the incident was closed when the authorities declared that there was no criminal responsi- bility on Agren. Sues for $10.000. Not so with the family of the de- ceased, however, for on December 28 C. Adrian Carlson, executor of t he estate of the dead man, through Judge Kirkham, brought suit against Agren fora $10,000. Sheriff M. D. Stockwell served the papers, which are return- able before the superior court on the first Tuesday in January. Action of the plaintiffs in having the body of Carlson exhumed and an autopsy perfomed is not a reflection on the integrity of Dr. Elcock or Dr. Fromen. The case is a purely medical civic one and in such cases, it is pointed uot, many facts which in a criminal court would not bear much weght, will be most valuable in a civil court. In criminal cases the guilt of the accused must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.: In ‘civil cases only a preponderance 'of evi- dence is needed. None of the physicians attendant at the autopsy would consent to be in- terviewed this afternoon. They de- cline to state condition they found. They consider the case a private one of a civil nature and say its in no sense a criminal matter. RATES NOT JUSTIFIED. Washington, Dec. 31.—Proposed in- creased rates on grain and grain products from Indiana. Illinois and other middle western states and from certain points in Wisconsin, IO\V?, Missouri and Kentucky to At- lantic ports for export were found not justified today by the interstate commerce commission. The increas- es ranged from a half cent to two cents a hundred pounds. Dr. !

To receive a scating letter from the Canadian government asking him to explain why he did not join the colors and fight for England against the Teutonic allies and by inuendo score J ROY N. BUELL. ‘Who 'Wasn’t Raised to be a British Soldier. him for his non-allegiance to the Union Jack, is the unusual experience of ex-Councilman Roy N. Buell of Pleasant street, who is spending the holidays at his home in this city. Mr. Buell is employed as a con- struction superintendent for a ‘large St. Louis concern and in the course of his work visits various parts of the United States and Canada. Several weeks ago he was stationed at Lon- don, Ontario, Canada. While he waz there the census taker visited his house and his name was given as one of the residents. When the last Canadian regiment was recruited from this province of Canada all able bodied men were ex- pected to enlist. Mr. Buell had left the city in the meantime and knew nothing of the letter asking him to ex- plain why he had not enlisted until, after it had been forwarded, he re- ceived it at his home a few days ago. From the fact that he was then living in Canada, the authorities there as- sumed that he was a British subject and should show his ciieglance to King George by enlisting. Mr. Buell has penned a letter to the Canadian authorities informing them of their error and the fact that he is a | true and loyal subject of Uncle Sam. Mr. Buell is a well known member of the local lodge of lks. EXTEND GLEN STREET | T0 HUNGERFORD COURT Improvement Is . roposed By | New City Plan Com- mission.

Work- men who escaped injury in the ex- plosion hurried from the plant and the officials were unable to ascertain how many were in the building. The first word that came to the | police department was from a police- | man detailed at the plant, who tele- phoned that fifteen or twenty men were trapped in the burning building. This announcement was qnickly fol- lowed by a report that several fire- men had been caught beneath a fall- ing wall and that many were injured, SEVEN STATES ENTER DRY COLUMN TONIGHT More Than 3,000 Saloons Close Doors With End- ing of Year.
