Salisbury. N** C-. March 1.? One oi
tfte moatS^d blooded murders ever
committed LiTthis count}' was perpe
trated Sa? unlay night at tte home of
Minnie Hargrave, tolored, on tho ex
treme eastern end orMouroe street,
in the ne^ro settlement known as
Dijtonville/Vhen that woman was as
sassinated by some one yet unknown
to the officers. The Hargrave worn-,
an was sitting in her room whim
some one walked up to a window In I
which there .was a glass out ind pok
ing a shotgun through the opening
fired, the entire load taking effect in
the . woman's body and resutllng in
almost Immediate death. Walter;
Graves,^ colored, was arrested 'shortly
afterwards and placed In Jail to await
an investigation Into the affair. I
Graves boarded with the woman and j
when seen Just aftor the killing and ,
informed of the crime he did not
seem to take any interest in the case
and Instead of hastening to the home
he made off 1n another dtrectlon. This
act looked suspicious and Graves was
placed under arrest. His son. who
also boarded with the woman, -was
locked up at the feme time, hb being
held as a witness. The county coro
ner spent yesterday gathering evi
dence In the -ease and in this after
noon holding an Inquest. Althou'gh
there la a big mystery surt-oundlng
the assassination of this woman It Is
likely that other arrests will follow.
No one saw the murderer when he
appeared at the window and what

and killed there Saturday afternoon
by Policeman John K.Tew. \ num
ber of people had tanked up on mean
whiskey and a -fight started lu con
sequence of some trivial disagree
ment In which friends of the combat
ants joined. A neav-riol was In pro
gress on a vacant lot In the rear of
?ome vacant acres when Policeman
Rowland and Tew endeavored "to
quell It. They were reinforced by
Mayor Graham, who vainly com
manded the peace. Some one struck
Policeman Tew and knocked him
down twice. He ' had lust aqlscn
from the second blow when Jones,
who hfcd becothe Involved Invan ef
fort to assist a brother wfco was en
gaged In the mlx-up. was said to have
advanced upon the officer with a
drawn club. Tew, who Is not lacking
In personal courage, then flred a
single shot which struck Jones full tn
the face, entering at the right margin
of the note and crashing Into the base
of the brain. Jones fell forward upon
his face and was dead In an Instant.
He lay for some time In a pool of
blood until Coroner Parker gave or
ders for remoyal of the body to the
undertaking establishment.
The spectacle of death instantly
quelled the riot. The slain man Is
said not to have been drinking, but
became Involved In the row InSin ef
fort to extricate a brother, as above
stated. * He was a worthy and Indus
trious farmer and leaves a wife and

The unusual amount of drunken
ness here on the evening of the trag
edy Indicates great activity upon the
part of blind tigers and public sen
timent is hardening against these
promoters of violence and bloodshed.
The quality of the liquor dlspenced is
said to be abormlnable and to mean
death by degrees to those who In
dulge in it.

The death of John B. Fredericks,
who was injured when* a car ran
amuck Sunday and smashed into a
brick wall, killing two outright,
brought the death list of the riots up
to six.
Several sre in hospitals suffering
from serious, if not fatal lnJurlepT
and the death list probably will go
higher before peace is assured.
A collision between two cars oc
curred early today at Jackson street
and Moy^menslng avenue. The re
port of the crash brought a large
crowd to the scene which pelted the
disabled cars with stones and assault
ed the crews. One car was lifted
from the tracks and completely
wrecked. ,
Cries of "Get that motorman; he's
like the one that killed Cbarlle Mc

of and Imprisonment.
Washington, D. C., March 2. ? Let
ters from the csubub supervisors to#
the United States Census Bureau
show the erroneous Apprehension of
a considerable elemeut of the popu
lation that their answers to the
enumerators' questions in the next
census, beginning April 15, this year,
will caufee increased taxation, legal
entanglements, or injurious conse
quences to their persons and prop
erty.
In order to quiet such unfounded
fears, which would, unless removed,
materially affect the accuracy of the
census, the bureau has propared an
official statement relative to the de
cennial census. Its origin, purpose,
and uses.
This statement should furnish com
plete assurance to those concerned
that Information given the enumera
tors is held by the Census Bureau In
the strictest confidence with refer
ence to the Identity of the Inform
ants, as required by the policy of
the bureau and commanded by the
law of the United States. ?
The bureau earnestly hopes that
clergymen, priests, physicians, school
teachers, employers, and other pub
lic-spirited citizens who come In con
tact with large numbers of people,
will cooperate with the bureau by
telling persons who are believed to
entertain erroneous opinions of the
census the real facts and urging
them to give full replies to the enu
?aerators. Teachers are particularly
requested to speak of the census to
the school children and ask them to
tell their parents about it.
The statement Issued by the bu
reau explains that the Constitution
require* a census of tike population
to lje taken ejsry ten yeyft in order
State s representation
in the National House of Hint -
Mou. agriculture, IndustrtM, fttff re
sources of I he nation nine* tke last
eeadra^.
It Is emph&tlcslly declared i "by the
statement, that the information
sought from the people of the United
States Is used solely for general sta
tistical purposes. It will neither be -
published nor used In any other way
to disclose facts regarding any
vidua! or enterprise. The census, 1
goes on to say, is not. never hau
been, and can not be employed to
obtain information thpt can be used
In any way In the assessment of prop
erty for purposes of taxation or the
collection of taxes, either national,
state, or local; or for deportation
proceedings, extradition measures,
army or navy conscription, internal
revenue investigations, compulsory
school attendance, child-labor law
prosecutions, quarantine regulations,
or In any way to affect the life, llb
ierty, or property of any person.
It points out that replies to the
enumerators are and muBt be held by
I the Census Bureau In strict and ab
solute confidence. All the bureau
< officials, supervisors, supervisors'
clerks.- enumerators, and' interpre
ters, before entering upon their du
ties, are obllud to take a solemn
oath not to dilfctose any Information
they may obtain, except to the Cen
sus Bureau, and a violation of the
United States law In regard to this
oath means a $1,000 fine or impris
onment for. two years, or both. In the
jdiscretlpn of the court.
