RALEIGH. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY MORNING. JULY 31. 1902.
DIES OF THE SHOCK
Maj,. Weill Leaps Into the
* River and is Rescued but
Death Follows.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Wilmington, N. C„ July 30.—Suffering
from a shock to his nervous system, be
cause of an attempt at suicide by drown
ing yesterday, Major Abraham Weill,
aged 72 years, and a soliciting agent for
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, died
at 1 o’clock today at his hoarding house
in this city.
At 10 o’clock yesterday morning Major
Weill made a rather awkward attempt
to drown himself by falling into one of
the city docks on the Cape Fear River,
but two negro workmen hindered him
from self destruction and he was sent to
his home under the care of physicians.
No reason can be assigned for the rash
act of the aged man. His duties with
the Coast Line were merely nominal on
account of his long service; the salary
good and his position was for life.
He leaves two daughters in San
Francisco, and one each in Boston. Phil
adelphia and Macon, Ga. Two sons also
live in San Francisco and Philadelphia.
A third son, Sol C. Weill, who was
prominent in State politics, died several
years ago in New York.

the only one in Charlotte to entertain
President Jefferson Davis and family, of
the Confederacy on their memorable
flight from Richmond after the war, and
the local camp of veterans will attend
the funeral in a body tomorrow as a
mark of appreciation for that act.

THE MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS.
The State Convention Open*. Lacking Outlines
the Campaign Issues.
(By the Associated Press.)
Detroit, Mich., July. 30.—The Demo
cratic State Convention to nominate a
Governor and State officers met today
and will continue its session until to
morrow night. Nominations will not be
made until tomorrow. There appears to
be a lack of competition for the nomi
nations. Several prominent Democrats
suggested for the nomination for Gover
nor have declared their unwillingness to
make the run. Judge George H. Du
rand, of Flint, a Gold Democrat, is sup
ported by the Seventh, Tenth and
Twelfth districts. Durand, however, is
opposed by State Chairman Whiting and
the silver Democrats. At the afternoon
session Alfred R. Lucking, who was
chosen temporary chairman, outlined
the campaign issues in Michigan, saying
! in part:
“A grave crisis confronts our State
at this time, xhe Michigan Central
Railroad Company is about to begin suit
against the State for damages on ac
count of. the repeal of its special charter
by the Legislature of 1900. Under the
law the suit must be begun by Decem
ber 31, 1902. The railway claims $27,-
000.000, according to the best information
we can obtain. The people of Michigan
are now called upon to say whether the
Michigan Central Railroad Company
shall have control of both sides of the
case.
“During the campaign of 1900 it was
repeatedly published in our State press
that the present Governor was the can
didate of the Michigan Central; that it
contributed largely of the money which
was spent so lavishly all over Michigan
to nominate him. Since his election it
has been openly and continuously
charged that he represented the Michi
gan Central and not the people-”
lowa Republican Platform.
(By the Associated Press.)
Dos Moines, lowa, July 30.—The lowa
Republican platform, as adopted by the
convention today, is as follows:
The platform endorses President Roose
velt’s Cuban reciprocity policy and
“looks forward to his election to the
Presidency in 1904 as to a foreshadowed
event demanded by the popular will.”
It stands by the policy of protection
but favors “such changes in the tariff
from time to time as may become ad
visable through the progress of our in
dustries and their changing relations to
the commerce of the world,” and in
dorses the policy of reciprocity as the
natural complement of protection.
The platform concludes:
“We assert the sovereignty of the peo
ple over all corporations and aggrega
tions of capital and the right residing in
the people to enforce such regulations,
restrictions or prohibitions upon corpor
ate management as will protect the in
dividual and society from abuse of the
power which great combinations of capi
tal wield.
“We cordially endorse the position of
President Roosevelt in appealing to the
courts to secure regulations that will
control great combinations of capital,
which prevent competition and control
the industries of the people without legal
sanction or public approval. We favor
such amendment to the Inter-State Com
merce Act as will more fully carry out
its prohibition of discriminations in rate
making and any modifications of the
tariff schedules that may be required to
prevent their affording shelter to
monopoly.
“We are earnestly opposed to all leg
islation designed to accomplish the dis
franchisement of citizens upon lines of
race, color or station in life and condemn
the measures adopted by the Democratic
party in certain States in the Union to
accomplish that end.”

great risk, jumped on the track and
tried to warn them. The driver, with
out thought of himself, turned to the
others in the wagon and yelled to them
to jump. He had plenty of time to save
himself, but remained at his post and
when the train struck the horses, he
was thrown headforemost against a
freight car and instantly killed. Catcher
Shea, of the Ilion team, attempted to
save the Signor boy on the front seat
but w r as unsuccessful.

SHAMEFUL ATTACK
MADEOHMOURHERS
Jewish Funeral Procession
Deluged With Water-
MISSILES RAIN UPON IT
Horses Whipped Up and People
Trampled Underfoot.
A RIOr ENSUES. RESERVES CALLED OUT
Order Finally Restored. The Procession Acconr
panied the Remains of the Chief Rabbi
Jacob Joseph. Attacked by
Employes of Hoe Co,
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Juy 30. —The funeral of the
late Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph, head of
the orthodox Hebrews of the United
State, which was held here today was
the occasion of one of the most remark
able demonstrations ever witnessed in
this city and led to a collision between
the masses of Jewish mourners and the
police. The streets were packed with
thousands of Hebrews, the stores were
generally closed and every point of van
tage along the route taken by the fun
eral procession to the different syna
gogues was crowded.
Directly in front of the house where the
body has lain in state for the last few
days over one hundred patrolmen kept
the crowd from entrance with considera
ble difficulty. After the services at, the
house the body was taken to each of the
six synagogues on the east side, where
brief services were held.
When the procession was passing the
Printing Press factory of R. Hoe & Com
pany, on Grand street, on its way to the
cemetery in Brooklyn, several employes
of the factory emptied pails of water
from the windows of an upper floor on
to the spectators massed upon the side
walk. Tail after pail, it was said, was
emptied on the throng, which shouted
and struggled and stampeded in vain to
escape. Then overalls and clothing
soaked in water came down from above,
and even tools, scraps Os steel, bolts and
a dead cat.
The angry populace, most of whom
were Hebrews, retaliated by throwing
hack into the factory window the missiles
that fell on them. They also gathered
up stones and sticks and in a few min
utes there was scarcely a whole pane of
glass on the Grand street side of the
factory.
Then some one in the factory turned on
a hose and played it indiscriminately all
over the funeral procession. At one time
as many as five streams were played on
the crowd. Drivers of mourning car
riages whipped up their horses, tramp
ling over citizens and the stronger men
trampled women and children under foot
in their efforts to escape.
The police had in the meantime taken
a hand in the trouble and were clubbing
the people right and left. They were,
however, unable to cope with the crowd,
and the reserves of half a dozen precincts
were dispatched to the scene. It was
more than half an hour before order
was restored and the streets in the
vicinity of the factory cleared. A num
ber of arrests were made, among them
being several employes of the Hoe Com
pany.
Many persons were found about the
streets, bleeding from wounds on their
heads and other parts of their bodies.
Ambulances had been summoned in the
meantime and three responded. The sur
geons were kept busy for some time
dressing the wounds of the injured. Sev
eral policemen also were injured, receiv
ing cuts and bruises. Two men were
take-i to the hospital. One of them had
sustained internal injuries and contusions
and the other a sprained leg. Later In
the day the persons arrested were ar
raigned in police court and fines of $5
and $lO were Imposed in several in
stances.
•Bad feeling is said to eist be
tween some of the employes of the Hoe
Company and the Hebrews residing in the
neighborhood, and this is said to have
been the cause of the trouble.
A STATEMENT BY HOE.
Robert Hoe, of the printing press com
pany, made a statement after the trouble
was over in which he says fighting was
going on in the ranks of the procession
as it passed the factory; that some of
those attacked were forced to the door
of the office and there the fighting con
tinued, while missiles thrown by the
crowd broke many windows of the fac
tory. Then it was, says Mr. Hoe, that
his employes tried to drive the assail
ants back by hurling missiles at them
and finally turning water on the crowd.
He added that boys working in the fac
tory had been in the habit of.jeering
at Hebrews and he had tried everything
in his power to have the practice stopped,
even discharging boys of whom complaint,
was made.
After the riot had been quelled the
funeral procession proceeded to Brooklyn
where the body of Rabbi Joseph was in
terred.
