THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY JUNE 15 that the men wers being unlawfully held by Major Allen, as they were witnesses in the Jett ard White cases for the defense Attorne Byrd argued the case for the monwealth and Major Allen, against whom the habeas corpus proceedings were brought. Judge Redwine finally decided to £dmit the men to bail in $3,000 each. County | Judgs Hargis and Sheriff Callshan had bonds drawn up, but after a consultation tetween them and the lawyers they re- fused to sign the bonds and the two men were taken by soldiers iuside their lines and are tonight manacled In the military guard- house, with A heavy guard on watch and strong outposts. The grand Jury meets tomorrow and Judge Redwine sald theme cases could be | taken before that body. The Haddicks boys and Luntz fully tdentified the men and clatmed some mem- bers of the Ewen family saw them come out of the house. It Is supposed they watched thelr opportunity and while the family weré In the dining room rushed up the backatuirway and threw a lighted torch or ball of roge saturated in ofl into the garret and then made their escape. The men evi- dently knew the construetion of the house. There was no fire in any of the flues in that mectjon of the buliding. Howard Fulks, a boarder, heard persons come up- stairs hurriedly and run down again. Crawford and Tharp have both stayed at Fwen's hotel and were famillar with the buflding and the habits of the family, Fire Bugs Know House, On close questioning Thorpe and Craw- ford told conflicting storles, but denied having crossed the bridge until after the fire was n progress, The fire threw a community aceustomed violence Into unusual excitement, which continued tonight. Even thosé who have tried to be neutral in the Breathitt county troubles are apprehensive that their homes may be the next to be fired. All dread the coming of night. The provost marshal has only a handful of men and should it be decided by the conspirators to burn other houses it is believed there are many who would attempt to execute the order. All cltizens are afrald to act on a vigilance committee. Until the killing of Mareum, when Ewen's look into the corridor of the court house and the subsequent courage which im- pelled him to tell what he had seen, Ewen had large lumber contracts, which prom- ised to yield a good revenue. When it be- came unsafe for him to leave his home .these contracts had to be cancelled. The hotel then became his sole source of in- come and he invested unemployed money in turnishings and improvements. The plan, it is belleved, was to assasinate Bwen, as it was concelved he would break out of camp when he learned that his house co wis burning and run through the town, when men, stationed along the route, could plek him off from the windows of houses. Hwen was detained in camp by the militia. Major Allen, fearing such a scheme might have been hatched, ordered him held until the militia had made a full investigation. Much has been told about the assassina- tlons In the relgn of terror in Breathitt county, but little has been sald about the arson, though thts has often cost life; In one case that of A woman. C. X. Bowling, shortly after the murder of 3m Cockrill, let it be known that he was a Coekrill sympathizer. One night his store was burned and with it the res- fdence and store of J. H. Atchison. Mra Atchison worked hard in a cold rain to save some of her bedding and furniture and in a few days she sickened and died of pneumonia. There have been fourteen residences and stores, owned by Cardwell and Cockrill sympathizers, burned In Jack- son since 1900. Following Is the list: J. E. Atchison's store and dwelling, Greenback dwelling, Bowling's store, Lee Hagin's dwelling, 8id Johnson's dwelling, Willlam Combs’ stable and three cottages, 8. 8. Talbee's dwelling.

FORCE NEEDED TO CURB CURIOUS CROWD titude Strives to Enter Stricken District and Are Only R ned by Military, Who Threaten Panishment, | ST. LOUIS, June 1.—During the past twenty-four hours the river has fallen {nearly one foot, the government gauge this vening registerir.g 3 feet 1 inch, The river Is roceding slowly and according to predic- tions the danger line, thirty feet, will not be reached for several days. Already proprietors of levee stores are paying dally @isits to the river, in hopes of finding the water sufficiently low for them to_reopen thelr establishments, Today every street/from Chouteau ave- nue to Washington openiifg into the levee was crowded with sightseers and persons whose property has been submerged. By far the best view of the flood in gen- eral i from the Kads bridge and from early morning until dusk this structure was packed with spectators. It was with considerable difficulty, nec- essitating at times threats of punishment, that the armed guards stationed where the viaduct joins the bridge proper succeeded in keeping the crowds from passing them and entering the floded territory of Kast Bt. Louls. The inquest on the death of Clifford Hambley, the young member of the St Louls naval reserves, who was killed in Past 8t. Louls last night by alleged levee cutters, was begun today J. 8 Brattan, the horseman, near whose property the fight took place, was brought from Belleville to Hast St Louls to at- tend the inquest. A number of witnesses were examined, but no positive evidence as to who fired the fatal shot was adduced. Bratton was taken batk to Belleville and locked up, pending action by the coroner, who will continue the inquest tomorrow. Conditions In East St. Louis are improv- {ing, the flooded portions south of Broad- way and west of the southern portion of the railroad tracks showing a decided fall In the water that since the break in the levee on Wednesday morning has covered this territory. It is expected that many of those driven out will be able to- get back to their homes and places of busi- ness as early as Tuesday. The lowlands behind the city are begin- ning to resume, in places, their usual as- pect. The water around the relay station 18 receding and it will Le but a short time before the rallroads can again enter St. Louls across the Eads bridge. A number of persons who lived in Mad- ison, Venice, Granite City and East St. Louls prior to the flopd are missing. In- quiries for twenty-seven missing ones have been received at the different relief head- quarters. IIEL PASO IS THREATENED Works ‘Round Line Threatens to Overwhelm Town. River and EL PASO, Tex., June 14.—~The flood con- dition in regarded as serfous tonight by even the most conservative persons. The river continues to rise and is striking the levee with great force. All available police- men have been placed along the river and the ity engineer agl’street commissioner Lave been busy sinceyimorning with a large number of men fortifying weak spots. Before the city the fiver tore through ail obstructions and entered fts old chann which was abandoned when the cutoff was built ‘three years ago to strengthen the siream.

RECORD 1N COTTON EXPORTS (Continued from First Page.) passing over this highway, made it neces- sary, in order to malntain it in passable condition, to eliminate the antiquated bull cart, and the Provinclal Board made it obligatory to use carts with modern wheels movable on the axle and with a four-inch or greater tread. These restrictions crip- pled the transportation facilities for a short time, but sultable wheels were quickly im- ported. It formerly required three days for a cart, drawn by three bulls, to make & trip over the full length of the road, while with moderp carts on thé new high- the trip can now be made In one using only two bulls and carrying 50 per cent more cargo. When these facts became evident, no further argument was necessary to induce the cart owners to purchase modern equipage. It has been estimated that the saving in the cost of transportation over this highway, in one year only, as contrasting with former con- ditions, amounts to $720,000, local currency. This saving to the people of the province has been effected in one year through an expenditure, for the maintenance of this highway of about $7,889, local currency There has been imported into the province during the last year about 5,000 cart wheels of modern construction. - portation &« Problem, The question of transportation, the gov- ernor reports, still remains one of the most fmportant - problems to deal with. The greater portion of the year the average price for a bull cart per day was 340, local currency, while the average cost of a carromata was $%. The great demand for transportation s for moving the hemp from the interior down to the seaports ahd taking rice and merchandi from the ports to the interior. There were shipped from the port of Legaspl this year about 344270 piculs of hemp and 465,770 plouls of rice entered the same port. This great de- mand for transportation and the exces- sively high price charged has induced out- side capital to bring into the province modern traction engines. These have an eighteen-inch tread while the cars used In thelr trams have an olght-inch tread causing therefore but little damage to the highways. One of these engines has been known to transport at one trip 20 piculs of hemp, of an amount that would require about forty bull carts to transport. The pressing demand for transportation has re sulted in the establishment of stage lines, and the Introduction of bicycles and auto- moblles which are now running on the public highways. Four hundred of the former have been imported into the prov- Ince during the yea Otvil Proceedings Amainst Watson, The government of the District of Col- umbia, through Its corporation counsel, | has instituted civil proceedings against [James M.

The president today sent for William Nel- son Cromwell, attorney for the Panama Canal company. Mr. Cromwell spent half an hour With the president in the forenoon and the conference was resumed: by ap- pointment at 3 p, m 1t is understood the president is consid- erably concerned over the canal outlook. The administration s not in the least dis- posed’ to be impatient with Colombia, but is willing to allow it a reasonable time to execute its obligations. At the same time, the Washington authorities regard these obligations as more binding than those of an ordinary treaty and cannot admit the right of the Colombian government to re- cede from them. 1f not carried out by rat- iflcation of the canal treaty, which comes before the Colombian congress at its meet- ing this month, the United States hopes Colombla will ind some other means of executing its obligations to this country as regards the Panama canal Mr. Cromwell declined to see callets after his conference with the president.

Chitjlan was born in Harpoot, Turkey, in 186, and came to the United States when a child. He was naturalized and ordained as a clergyman, returning to Burope last September. ——— DAKOTA CORN LOOKS BAD Ploneer | Fortells RBamper Grain Crop Around Sfoux Falls, BIOUX FALLS, 8. D./June 14.—(Special) ~Charles E. Hill of Valley Springs, a ploneer resident of the state, who has annu- ally made a careful study of crop conditions at this season of the year, peredicts that especlally this part of South Dakota will this, yeat raise a bumper crop of wmall grain, but-that the outlook for a good corn crop {8 by no means encouraging. “So far as quantity and quality is con- cerned,” sald he, “the small grain crop will this season be the best for many years, Corn, however, will have a hard time to mature befote killing frosts come In the tall, “I have nmoticed that the direction from whish the wjnd blows when the seasons change from winter to spring invariably gauges the direction of _the prevailing winds for the entire summer. ““When spring commenced this year the wind blew coldly from the northeast and has since continued in that direction the greater part of the time, indicating an vnusually cool summer. ““The frost on the night of the 10th inst. alro bears out the bellef that this sum- mer will be similar to last, when frosts were experienced every month except July, and that corn, generally speaking, will likely be caught by frost before it ma- tures. “You have probably noticed that the frost this month came almost to a day at the same time as the frost in June of last year."” Two Diverces Granted, HURON, 8.
