Citizens Committee Against Mayor and
Chief Police. Utter Brink Dam
age Suits.
. Bdvfojlk, Vs., Jan, 10. The climax to
the alleged friction and altitude ot rival
ry and antagonism which is said to have
existed all along between the Elisabeth
City citizens committee and the muni
cipal authorities, came today In the form
of two damage suits for 910,000 each.
The plaintiffs are Mayor T. B. Wilson
and Police Chief W. C. Dawson, each of
whom seeks the sum named from mem
hers of the citizens committee. .
.The match which set off the volcano
of unrest, was applied in the form of a
signed statement from four members of
the committee, ; which ' ;inferentlally
charged the offiolals not only with su
pineness in solving the Cropsey mys
tery, but In the committee's words, "they
have at all limes seriously handlcapped
our efforts by their actions and manner
of treatment."
They also charged Chief Dawson with
wlilag the release of a Cropsey suspect
whose identity they were preparing to
Investigate.
- After referring to the burden of criti
cism they have borne, the committee de
clared, "we could have accomplished
better results and saved much time and
labor had the chief of police and Mayor
recognized that they were public offi
cers, paid as public servants and dis
charged their duty in accordance with
those facta."
The intense Interest which firBt cen
tered in the location of Nell Tropsny
and.then in the fate of her alleged lover
and murderer will now bo diverted to
the legal wrangle among those who
sought to solve the mystery.
It is rumored that the citizens com
mittee wanted to find Nell Cropsey. be
fore the police, and that one member
bad wanted Dawson's position. The
fight Is expected to be a bitter one. The
sympathies of the townsfolk are dl
vldcd.
Thecommlttee, promlnentcttizens all,
has much wealth among its members,
and a verdict if gotten, will be worth
Its face value.

-Experiments in Tobacco Raising;.
Washington, Jan. 10. At tUe cabinet
meeting today Secretary Wilson explain
ed what had been done by his Depart
ment In the way of experiments in rais
ing tobacco. He stated that It had been
fully demonstrated that we could raise
in this country all the wrapper tobacco
necessary for domestic nae and of a
quality second to none. In every partic
ular It waa as fine as could be grown In
Cuba or any other country. Last year
ten acres of filler tobacco bad been suc
cessfully rsised in Pennsylvania of a
very high grade, and during the coming
season extensive experiments would be
made in raising high grade filler in Ohio
Texas, North- Carolina and California.
Last year the Imports of wrapper tobac
co Into the United States amounted to
$8,000,000 and . filler 18,000,000. In a
short time, the 8ecretaryfcsald, we.would
be able to supply our own wrapper and
filler of a grade that would challenge the
best grown anywhere in the world.

Boer Delegates in Holland Expect Them
.f'-jv tore Made," ;
' Amstebdau, Jan. 10 The Boer dele
gates In Holland evidently anticipate
that some kind of peace overtures wll
shortly be made, tbongh they - are retl.
cent as to their reasons for this . belief.
They maintain, however, that the de
mand for an unconditional surrender
must be abandoned.
It is privately admitted the dele
gates will not reject what they call "any
fair offer of terms. ' If the negotiations
are started by 8 neutral Power the dele
gates will earnestly seek to obtain a
modus Vivendi, which will reconcile Mr
Kruger's desire for complete independ
ence with the terms offered by Great
Britain.
London, Jan, 10 The Globe's flnan
clal editor said a report, which came
from well Informed quarters, was cur
rent in the city to day that the Boer
ohlefs had made overtures to the Brit
ish Government to the effect that they
were prepared to lay down their arms,
provided they were not exiled. Wednes
day next is the Boer feast day and it
was said tho surrender of the Boers
'would probably occur then.
The War Office officials asserted that
no proposals to surrender had been re
ceived from the Boers.
