It lg claimed that Planving bad been making incendiary speeches to the negroes of the community, advising them not to work for or have anything to do with white people, and it is belleved that these alleged utterances had much to do with the assassination. Booker T. Washington was to have vis- ited this vicinity next month as.the guest of Planving and deliver lectures.

MAY CONFLICT WITH STATE LAWS Deciston is Taken Under Plea that Stockmen Sell Return Transpor- tation to Sealpers at Stock Yards. CHICAGO, Sept. 1.—8tockmen throughout the west, who have for many years been enjoying free transportation from their homes and the shipping centers, will find this privilege curtailed after January 1, 194, The executive officlals of western lines met here today and agreed that on |and after the date menttoned they would discontinue the lssuance ‘to stockmen of return transportation, thereby compelling them to pay thelr fare to their homes after Maving come to the various shipping centers with stock Before the agreement can be carried out, however, a great deal of work will have to be done by the traffic men. Committees will be appointed soon for the purpose ot preparing a digest of all the laws of the various states pertaining to the subject of stockmen’s passes, with a view to seeing what viblations, if any, will result from the ob¥ervance of the order. A large number of the western states have en- | acted laws compelling the rallroads to is sue passes to men in chargo of stock cars, but there 18 no uniformity in the require ments. The new regulations are the same those In force in eastern territory, where the stock traffic is not nearly so great. The change is proposed largely for 'the purpose of curtalling the operations of ticket scalpers. Stockmen's passes have al- ways been a source of considerable income to the scalpers, who have employes at the various stock yards buying up the return transportation. FORM NEW PACKING COMPANY Stoockmen of the West Meet to Form an Independent Co) cern. KANSAS CITY, Sept. L—Twenty-five stock men from different parts of the west- ern grass country met in the Midland hotel in this city today and arranged to perfect the organization of a packing company to compete with the alleged packers' trust. The new company was named the Inde- pendent Packing company. Articles of in- corporation will be drawn up tomorrow and signed at a meéting to be held tomorrow afternoon. The eompany will have a capital stock of $5,000,000 and will be incorporated under the laws of Arizona. Of the total capitalisation 50 per cent will be so dis- posed of as to be held in escrow by the board of directors of the company. This will insure stockmen who. Interest them- selves in the plan that the company will always be controlled by stock interests. The rest of the stock will be sold to stockmen it possible, although no purchaser will be barred. The division of the stock as de- cided upon today was made to prevent any possibility of the alleged packers' trust gaining control of the new company. Two milion dollars worth of the stock Will be issued at first and the rest will be put out later. Formerly it was part of the plan to in- clude the United States Packing company ot Pueblo In the scheme.. Now it is re- portéd-on ‘good authority. that the Pueblo plant will never be bullt, but its capltaliza tion of .more than $1,500,000 will be trans- ferred to the Independant Packing company or be allowed to revert back to the stock- men who cantributed it. Charles F. Martin, secretary of the Na- tional Live Stock assoclation, who was one of the promoters of the United States Pack- ing company and who is a stockholder, is in Kansas City promoting the Independent Packing company. The new company will build one plant in the Missouri valley, but the exaot location is not yet determined. It is to be in operation Tn the fall of next year. _Another plant will be bulit_ later, probably in Texas. MOTORMAN NOT T0- BLAME Witness Says that He Did All He Could te Stop Ill-Fated Ca NEWARK, N.

James Kay, a letter carrier, Who was on and when the court adjourned yes- Under cross-exaniination he testified that he had for about a minute before the accident a good view of the motorman of the lll-fated trolley car. The motorman appeared to be struggling hard at both brakes in an effort to stop the car. Witness thought the ¢ar was going at a medium rate of speed, but it appeared to be under control, considering the rate at which it was going. He could not be sure whether or not the trolley car had come to a stop before the colllsion occurred. Alexander F. Jacobus, a brush maker, testified that he stood about fifty feet away from the crossing when the dccident oce curred. He saw a car londed with chil- dren come down the incline srom Orange street. At the same time, he suw the rail- road gates going down. He saw the car continue toward the gates and then he heard the signal bell ringing. The motor- man was working at the brake and ap- peared to be unable to stop the car. The front wheels were locked and were sliding on the tracks. The car was going at a rate of three or four miles an hour. He saw the car crash through the gates and a moment afterward the collision occurred. He thought the train wi oing twenty-five to thirty mfles an hou Willlam H. Bowerman, a high school pupll, was called to the stand. Bowerman was & passenger on the wrecked car and was badly hurt. He sald he was standing on the car about two feet from the door, bolding on to a strap. He thought the motorman applied the brake about the middle of ti block. He did not remember whether the car came to @ stop in the middle of the blook or mot. | The car and platform were crowded. He could see the motorman apply the brake.

NEBRASKA CROP - CONDITIONS Cold, Wet Weather Delays Farm Work of All Sorts and Re- tards Maturing ol Corn, XJNCOLN Sept, 1.—(Special.)—Bulletin of the Nebraska cection of the climate and crop service of the Weather bureau for the week ending August 31, 1903: The past week has been cold, wet and rather unfavorable for crops. The mean dally temperature has average 3 degrees below normal in_eastern and northern counties and 2'‘degrees below in_south- ‘western counties. The rainfall has been above normal in all districts and very heavy In most parts ofythe state. The reglon of heayiest rain- fall was the eastern half of the state, just north of the Platte river, where it ranged Arom three to more than nine iaches. Very little progress -was made with threshing during the wéek ‘apd some grain In shock and a little in stack was injured by the heavy rain. ' Haylng aiso: was de- layed and some hay injured; in the region of heaviest /rainfall. the. low -lands - were flooded and cousiderable ‘hay and .grass damaged. Corn is growing nicely, earing heavily, and forming Jarge ears, but has made very slow progress toward maturity, and warm, dry weather is much needed by corn. Fell plowing has progressed well, al- though In parts of the state the ground was too wet much of the week. A few. fields of wheat have been sown, with the ground in unusually good condition. Pastures cons tinue exceptionally good. Towa Crop Report. DES MOINES, la., Sept. 1—(Special)— Following 18 the report of the Iowa Weather bureau for the week ending August 31, 1908: The week past brought three days of warm weather and the balance of the week was cloudy, wet and cool. The aver- age daily deficlency in temperature was 2 to 4 degrees. 'The rainfall was above nor- mal in all parts of the state, and reports show phenomenal downpours at numerous stations In the west-central and southern districts, ranging from five to eleven Inches, the larger part of which fell' on the afternoon and night of the 2%th. There was a general need of showers, especially in the southern part of the state, and it is probable that the beneficial effects of the coplous molsture Will exceed the damage to the corn crop resulting from local floods and high winds. As a whole, the crop made some advancement, and with a month of good ripening weather a considerable portion of the acreage planted may reach maturity. In the present variable and eritical condition of corn no one is wise enough to forecast the final output, There is absolute tertainty, however, as to the urgent neéed of warm and dry weather for the greater part of the coming monh. The coplous rainfall assures ample pas- turage and facilitates fall plowing, which is well begun. Late pastures have been benefited, though there are numerous re- ports of damage by rotting. The fall apple crop is quite good in the northern half of the state. Winter apples very light.
