Attacking the proprietor* of vari

them with haring blood on thetr
hand*. "Billy" Sunday last evening j
•cored unmercifully the men who'
make slave* of thetr clerk* and who
rent their property for purpose* that
are net legitimate. The attack came
during a powerful sermon on "Con- i
version, and was but one feature of [
this very interesting and forceful dls
course
At the close of hi* sermon and fol
lowing the Invitation for all to step
out and stand with Matthew, lt& con
vert* came forward and took the evan- |
gelikt by the hand. So powerful was I
this appeal that before Mr. Sunday !
had completed his sermon a young !
man arose In the middle of the taber- ]
nacle and "hit' the trail." He walked j
steadily forward, and when he reached I
the platform Mr. Sunday stopped his
seraaon long enough to take the young
man by the band, after which he j
wound up his peroration and then the
call came for converts.
ANOTHER PREDATORY RAID

INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM

Outlines Objections to New Prop
aganda Before Ohio Constitu
tional Makers.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. March 14.—Del
egates to Ohio's fourth constitutional
convention today-. Interrupted their
consideration of the Initiative .ad ref
erendum, one of the most Impor *ut
proposals submitted, to listen to an
address by former United flutes Sen
ator Joseph B. Foraker, in which he
warned the convention against mak
ing the initiative and referendum a
part of the organic law of the State.
In the first place, he declared. It
would not be necessary and In tbs
second piece not desirable for several
reasons which he outlined.
‘The Initiative and referendum
would Increase the burden of elec
tion." he said. "Another objection
that Is has tendency to Induce tbs leg
islators to evade their responsibili
ties as to troublesome questions of
legislation, a vote on which, either
for or against, they desire to avoid ~
Heralded as the chief objection was
the claim by Mr Foraker that It waa
the first step toward abandonment of
representative government.
"In place of judicial recall, Mr.
Foraker suggested a plan, making It
the duty of the attorney general to
f***!’* S*d eiamlne charges against
officials subject to Impeachment and
then report to the governor, who If
the chargee are sufficient shall sum
moa n court to he composed of from
three to Bfteen members to hear the

KILL JUDGE ON BENCH,
SHERIFF AND PROSECUTOR
Prisoner, Clerk, Juror sad Spec
tator Wounded by Angry
Mountaineers.
Outlaws, Friends of Prisoners Be
ing Sentenced, Fled Back to
Mountains.
HILL8V1LL.E. Va, March 14.-A
troop of mountain ouialws rod* down
out of the Blue Ridge to-day to the
Carroll county court houae here and
assassinated the Judge upon the bench,
the prosecutor before the bar and the
sheriff at the door In lees —vie than It
takes to tell It. while sentence was
being pronounced upon Floyd Allen,
one of their number.
When the crack of the rtfles died
away only one member of the human
fabric of the court—Dexter Goad, the
clerk—was alive, and he had been
wounded. Jurymen and onlookers
were struck by the lMsillade, but none
was wounded seriously.
To-night the outlaws, with a good
day's start, are up In the mountain
buah, with a clttsen posse, little or
ganlxtd, making a semty'ance of a
pursuit. Sheriffs and deputies from
neighboring counties cannot reach
here before'early'morning. A special
train from Roanoke to-night brought
20 detectives to'Oarax. the nearer;
railroad station, nine miles away. It
will be midnight before these can
get over the mountain roads, hub deep
in sprlr a mud. ~lt probably win be
daylight before forces can be aasem
Kla/i
Dead or Allvs Rewards.
A reward of $1,000 for the capture
of the band, made today by Governor
Mann was tonight. Increased to $3,000.
Tbe governor's proclamation states
that $300 each will be paid for Indi
vidual members ot tbe band, taken
dead or alive. t
Captain V. W. Devant, of the second
Virginia regiment, has been ordered
to come here with two men, twenty
rifles and ammunition. Tbs troops
at Roanoke and Lynchburg, probably
may not be sailed for.
The shooting terrorised Htllzvllle
to the point of purely ids There waa
not a man to give an order or organise
a pursuit. Timid pereoas fled to
places to safety aad mothers gathered
ap their children while the assassins
rode out of town.
Judge Thorton L. Massle rose from
hia chair as‘the ballets struck him
and fell across hie deek. Common
wealth's Attorney William Foster,
with half a dozen bullets In hie brain,
crumpled down to the floor. Sheriff
T/ewts Webb was shot and killed as
he reached for his revolver. Bullets
graved Clerk Goad, and In tbs confus
ion. he waa reported killed. Jurors,
who had been slightly wounded were
reported dead, aad by that indefinable
method of communication which pre
vails In the woodland country, reporta
of a wholesale slaughter went out to
the countryside.
Motive for Slaughter.
Floyd Alien waa before .tbs bar thla
morning, convicted of taking a prison
er from a deputy sheriff. Allan had
struck tha sheriff over the head with
tbe butt of a rifle, and the prisoner
escaped. Sheriff Webb bad gone up

Special to The Intelligences.
WASHINGTON. Inarch 14.—
Congressman Hughea. Senator
M. C. White and Assessor N. J. .
Kadle. of Mingo, all saw Presi
dent Taft at the White House
to-day. “Simply paying our
respects, and no' politics dis
cussed.”" swore one and all on
departure.
TULSA.. OkU.. March 14—Con test
ing delegations were elected today
from the Third congressional district
of Oklahoma, to the national Republi
can convention. Roosevelt members
bolted the congressional commutes
meeting, two hours before the time set
for the convention when the Taft oom
mltteemen made an effort to unseat
the chairman, who was a Roosevelt
supporter. The Roosevelt faction bad
their convention In an opera houses
and elected A. A. Small and A. E.
Dennison aa delegates to the national
convention. The Taft forces met la
the federal court room and elected
Joseph A. Gill and John HiUlliaa as
delegates.
I am a great admirer of President Taft
and believe he deserves and should
receive from the Repnubllcan party
the nomination as Its candidate to
succeed himself. The reasons 'are
many. Briefly stated, a few of them
ate the following: -
First. He Is a Republican.
Second. Aa a Republican he la now
serving his first term as Prssldent and
according to the traditions of the ;
party, If his administration haa been |
satisfactory and has been conducted :
j according to the doctrines of hia party, j
be la entitled to a second term mon
1 nation.
Third. He la the kind of man a 1
President of the United States should
be made of. A patriotic American. A 1
man of peace, yet with enough iron In
bia blood to bear hlmseir aa a sold tar.
a safs leader and general if the time
should corns (and such time may come
at course.) when penes cannot be
maintained wRh safety and honor. He
la a broad minded statesman, wise,
schollarly, consistent and honest. He
was a broad experience when elected
four years ago, and. being a man who
i "lives and learns," be Is now even
' richer In knowledge and experience
j than ever before. •
i That "He Is a Republican" needs no
| comment. That will not be denied by
anyone.
Hia administration has been satls
I factory and has been contacted ac
I cording to the doctrines of bis party.
Not only according to the doctrines of
bla party, but to the best Interests of
ths whole nation, regardless of poli
tics or party. If the party refuses to
give Mr..Taft the second nomination
It will thus refuse to approve hia ad
ministration and. In effect, repudiates
the well defined principles, often ex
pressed and well understood.. as wall
aa the cherished traditions of the
party. Can our great party afford to
do this?
The Republican party haa elected
eight Presidents. Lincoln. Grant.
