Chicago, August ll. Ten warrants in the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank! case were issued; this afternoon by Judge George M. Kersten. The first two warrants charge conspiracy to cheat and defraud the bank7 of money, pro perty and goods. Paul 0. Stensland, Henry W. Herring, Theodore Stens land and "Divers other persons as yet unknown," are named in the first two warrants The next two warrants are against Henry V. Hering and charge perjury in regard to report made and sworn to by him for the state audi tor in January and April on the con dition of the bank. The next two war rants charge larceny of $1,000,000 and 5330,000 and name Henry W. Hering as the accused. Five cases cf forgery are then charged against Paul O Stensl.irwl and Hpnrv W Worincr t is alleged tnat Paul Stensland and Her ing forged the name of M. C Bartholdt for $5,S00, the name of Marius Kirby to one note for $10,000, and the name of S Herhold to another for $10,000. Judge Kersten fixed amount of Her- ing's bond at $38,000. Hering appear ed in court in charge of a deputy sher iff. His attorney, John Coburn, plead ed with the court to reduce th.e amount of the bond stating that he would not be able to secure so large a bond be fore Monday and in consequence his client would have to go to jail. "The court must also consider the gravity of the alleged offense of Hering and I can not see how I can make the bonds any lower." Judge Kerston replied. Hering's wife and daughter were present in the court room during the proceedings. At the conclusion of the formalities the prisoner was taken to the ccMnty jail and assigned to a cell. Police were today summoned to keep order at the inquest into the death of Frank KowalsKi, teller of the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank who shot himself yesterday at his home, The feeling of some of the deposi tors in the defunct bank was sa great that the dead teller was cursed as his body lay in the parlor of his home. Tke wreath on the door of the house was torn down and its flowers scat tered by the angry men. Police sergeant Hamilton detailed at the coroners inquest forced the dis turbers into the street.

New York, August 11. T. P. Shonts, chairman, and Joseph Bishop, tcreriry of the Panama Canal Commission, ar rived here today from Colon. Mr. Shonu said that general endiitons ia the canal zone were very favirabi at present and constantly improving. -'All we want," he declared, "is more 1Jj. and less rain. The labor problem hns been partially solved by the employ ment of Spanish workmen. We have also advertised for Chinese laborers. The death rate has risen from 1 1-2 per cent, last winter to 5 per cent, at the present time, which is a better showing than at the average labor camp in this country. Yellow fever has not appeared in a long time and for the nine days previous to my departure no smallpox was prevalent." It will be some days, however, before we can b-j sure that the disease has been entlrelv eradicated. Out of the thirty-seven cases which broke out during the re cent epidemic, only one death occurred" Mr. Shonts said that the engineering work on the canal was now well under way. Mr. Shonts gave out the following statement issued in Washington today by President Gompers of the America n Federation of Labor, asserting that the employment of Chinese labor was con trary to the law, and that the eight hour law was being violated. The eight hour law does not apply to unskilled labor on the Isthmus of Panama. The entire present unskilled labor forc3 is alien. We can not secure this class of unskilled labor from the United States. It is therefore not seen why a law passed in the interest of American labor at home should be made appli cable to alien labor who probably never heard of its existenc?. Its appli cation would have increased the labor cost of the canal several million dollars. "As t3 the statement of Mr. Gomrer that the existing law excludes Chinese laborers and coolies from the Unite! Suites or any f its possessions, ! would say the Panama canal zone is an American possession and it is as much a violation of the law to bring Chinese coolies there as it is in other portions of our country, I can only say that the commission has secured the opinion of the highest legal authorities of the government. It has been held that such law does not apply to the canal zone." BASF!JAr.L. NATIONAL LEAGUE. At Philadelphia: Philadelphia 3: Cincinnati 0. At New York: New York 2: Pitts burg 1.

(Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, August 11. -The gov ernor declined to pardon C; D. Whitley convicted in Stanly county of seduc tion under promise of marriage. Gov ernor says regarding this case: "Thf judge said if the jury believed the prosecutrix, the indictment was .ichr, but could under defendant's testimony have acquitted him of seduction; that according to his own statements he wa guilty of fornication and adulter?'. As the prosecutrix is defendant's cousin and he had sought her in her father's house, he felt the crime was graver than an ordinary case of adultery an.l so sentenced Whitley to three years on roads. The judge did right. From evidence before me I am almost ab solutely certain the defendant seduced another woman about the same lime. There is nothing in his character to commend him to clemency. The .shtriff will execute the sentence." Recently the Blackwell Durham To baeco company, of Durham, obtained a charter from this state, it being found that no company of that name held a charter. Two of the stoekholiers ar brothers of the late William T. Black well, the founder of the business. This was the first step in a great and nctab' suit by this company against the Black well Durham Tobacco company, char tered by the state of New Jersey and owned and operated by the American Tobacco company. The suit is now brought. The Durham company als scured copyright to the name "Bull Durham". The American Tobaoco cjm pany this afternoon applied for leave to domesticate in North Carolina the Blackwell Durham Tobacco company, of New Jersey. The secretary of state saying there is already a North Caro lina corporation of that name refers the matter to the attorney general. Governor Glenn gave out the follow ing statement in the notable case of the state against George W. Samuel and John W. Hasty, from Wilkes coun ty: "Defendants were convicted of as sault and battery with deadly weapon, in which serious damage was done. These were the facts as found by judge and jury. Editor Deal, of the Wllk's boro Chronicle, wrote au article in bis paper charging Samuel with being in collusion with violators of the revenue laws. Samuel demanded his informant, and on Deal refusing to giv name Samuel attacked Deal and badly beat him. Samuel is a large and strong man, Deal a small and weak one. While Samuel had Deal down beating him. Hasty drew a pistol and kept back people from pulling Samuel off unti' he had beaten Deal almost into uncon sciousness. Afterwards Samuel was tried and convicted in the federal court for offense similar to the charges made by Deal. The defendants had a fair trial, an Impartial jury convicted them and a kind and just judge snteno-d Samuel to the county jail for three months and IRisty for six months. No one denies the defendants guilt- The only point made before was the sen tence was exces-Ive, and should be changed to a reasonable fine. I don't think a governor should change the sentnc of courts (unless the cjudge himself asks it) for being excessive, unless he clearly sees injustice dos.. In this case a big man beat a little one for simply writing an article which was true. Another big man stood by and kept people from taking tbe bU man off of the small one, until he was almost unconscious and seriously hurt. Is three and six months excessive pun- Ishment? I think not. The trial ju !g 'does not recommed commutation. Samuel and Hasty were themselves of Ificers of the law and should not have j violated It I cannot therefore Inur Ifere. and the sheriff of Wilkes must : execute the sentence of court' I The penitentiary authorities an nounce the escape of John Campbell, white. r-d fifteen, having a defo-med I left hand from the state farm la Hali fax county. n?en ed from Surry coun ty last April, for fir year for ob structing a railroa4 track, t I1R01Y ESCAPE OF di OUKE Attempted Assassination at Hands of Imperial Guards Mii;iu: di.tmi.h or rrviu ;raiHl luke i ix.U., , UrtWmtnC Tno atitl rutting Tlw-ui nmuii Blank Jlrtn; mett-i-.
