Negroes Seek to Enjoin Him Prom Speaking in Chicago, But They Take Advice of Irf-vel-Hcadwl lawyers and Think Better of the Matter. (By the Associated Press.) Chicago, Nov. 27. Mayor Dunne today announced that he would de tail a number of policemen in plain clothes to mingle with Jhe throng at the lecture of Senator Tillman to night, and see that no violence or in sult was offered the senator. Among the number were several colored offi cers, who received Instructions from Chief of Police Collins to watch, for any possible outbreak. They were selected because of their acquaint ance with the colored population of Chicago. It is not expected by the chief of police that there will be any trouble. A number of colored men early to day sought the advice of lawyers re garding the procuring of an injunc tion restraining the senator from de livering his lecture. They were in formed that such a step might possi bly succeed, but the chances were against it, and even though it was successful it would not fail to have the ultimate effect of embittering racial feeling. The project was aban doned. Senator Tillmun was expected to arrive In tho city early this afternoon. When Senator Tillman arrived in this city this arternoon he was met at the depot by a committee of ladies who have In charge the inter ests of the hospital in behalf of which the senator is to lecture: Mrs. Adele ' Keeler, the head of the com mittee, after greeting the senator, said: "We hope, senator, that you will not say anything that will be likely to stir up trouble." The senator replied: "Mrs. Keeler, I think I will say just about what I feel like saying In my lecture." No other statement was made by tho senator who was immediately driven to his hotel. A force of about a dozen police officers in uniform, and a number of others in plain clothes were in the depot under the command of Assist ant Chief of Police Schuettier, but there was no demonstration of any kind, nor was there any gathering of colored people in or about the depot.

There ... tv....,., nf fnv ,lnvo rtn whifh it did not rain or snow. These were October 17, November 21 and December 23. The snow was on the ground for thirty days, and the sleighing was the iinest ever seen In Raleigh. There was also excellent skating. The merchants In town suffered because the farmers' hands would be so stiff with cold when they came to town that They could not open their pocketbooks. Never before were the farmers heard to complain so much as they did the next spring, but in the fall the crops were better than ever before. The fruit crop was great, the crop of blackberries unusually large, also the dewberries. The only drawback to the entire season was that the following summer there were very many eases of sunstroke.'

With interest heightened by the declara tion of the medical experts that Grace Brown was clubbed before she fell into the water of Big Moose Lake, there was a larger crowd than ever at the Gillette murder t rial today. More than a thousand persons vver? turned away, and those who got seats were on hand as early as 7 o'clock to secure them. Only two Of the six doctors em ployed by the district attorney to per? form the autopsy on Grace Brown's body have been on the stand. The prosecution probably will conclude the work of questioning two more of them today. The prosecution cannot complete Its case before Thanksgiv ing, and the case will not go to the jury before Wednesday of next week.

Dr. Douglas today gave several comparisons between the conditions usually found in drowned bodies and tho conditions found In the body of Grace Brown. He said: "The liver in cases of drowning Is livid; in this case it was pale.e In cases of drowning, the hands become muddy and finger nails dirty. They were clean in this case. There is water l!n the pleura cavity In cases of drowning; there was no such water in this case. No watery fluid flowed from the lungs in this case, as Is cus tomary in drowning cases. The liver in this case was normal. In cases of drowning it is contracted. There was but little water in Grace Brown's stomach; there is considerable in cases where a person Is drowned. The diaphram in this case was elevated three inches; when the lungs are filled with water it has a tendency to depress the diaphram." On re-cross examination Dr. Doug las was asked if the three days that Grace Brown's body lay before the autopsy were not sufficient time to allow the water that would naturally collect in the lungs of a drowned per son to escape. He said there were means by which the water might (Continued on Page Seven.)

The eonipany was allowed sixty days to prepare, to appeal the ease. The re bates amounted to $26,001). A big crowd of Raleigh folks went out to the athletic field at the A. & M. College this afternoon to see the last practice of the football team before the came day after tomorrow in Richmond with V. P. I. The band Is out, the day is perfect and all is auspicious. The weik done today is very light, Just enough lo keep the muscles limber. The men lined up at 3:45 as they will face Virginia Polytechnic Institute on Thursday, Temple center, Perkins right guard, Sykes left guard, Beebe right tackle, Stroud left tackle, Stevens right end, Edwards left end, Eskrldge quar ter back, Wilson right half back, Shu ford full back, Thompson left half bark. Max Gardner, who with Dr. Joel Whitaker is in charge of the team, says the team is now in the best condition ithas been in this year, so far as they have been able to discover. The finish ing touches are being put on this af ternoon and the individual plays prac ticed. No heavy work is being done and no scrimmages. Thirty-five men will be taken in the squad to Richmond tomorrow on No. G6 over the Seaboard, leaving the union station at 11.50 in the morning. From present Indications at the col lege it is apparent that practically the entire sudent body wili $o to the Old Dominion's capital to see the team play and root them on to victory in this the crowning struggle of the season. Rail road tickets will be sold at the college tomorrow morning. The Richmond papers announce that the game will be called at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon at Broad street park. Traveling Passenger Agent Gattls of the Seaboard Air Line, which road is running the special from Raleigh, leav ing here at 7 o'clock Thursday morning, said today that the reservations for Pullmans keep coming In at a good rate, and there could be no hetter indi cation that a very large number are going from this city. It will be a great help to Major Gattis if all those who Intend to gr, will let him know before tomorrow night, for it is very hard to get additional cars at the last minute. . "A clear sky and the rigours of the game'' would, perhaps, best express what has been going on in Raleigh for the past week or two. The weather has been ideal and noth ing has been allowed to Interfere with the hard practice which the A. & M. team has been doing. The team has de veloped a speed and strength far ex ceeding any expectations, and the team work is perfect. ' There are a number of stars on the team, stars who have been before the lime light more than once and have heard the welkin ring with their names and praise. Hut in the work of the team one thought is pre-eminent, name ly, to advance the ball, and all desire for personal glory, and to make spec tacular plays is lost, and the eleven be come as one, and that one will push on, to victory. They have not lost a game this year and they will not allow their record to be broken in this, the last game of the season, if they can help. Many ladies were out this afternoon t the grounds. The ladles have taken unusual Interest In the games this year, and at the practice games many of them have been seen as Interested spectators. It had been feared that the interest would flag at the game this Thanksgiv ing, since the universities do not go up against each other, but the A. & M. team has proven itself to be an oppon ent worthy of the steel, and the excite ment, at least at this end of the line, is as intense as heretofore. The Vir ginians have really had a better oppbr-. tunlty of observing the strength of f)ie A. & M. team than the Carolinians, as they have played more games on their soil than on their own, and know the merits of "Babe" Wilson. Thompson, Shuford, Edwards, Stevens and other men of the line, and the swlftncsi' 'jf the little quarter back Eskridge. PRISONERS POUR TO NORTH RUSSIA. (By the ssnclated Press.)
