WASHINGTON. D. C.. June 30.—
The Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day reversed itself in the case ot
the Banner Milling Company again**
the New York Central Involving the
ratee on flour and grain from Buffalo
to New York. In 1»07 these rate*
were Increased by one ctjl Pfr 100
' pounds. The commtsslosiFthen re
garded the lncreaae as unreasonable.
But after representations from the
New York Central that US revenues
had been unduly curtailed, the com
mission to-day authorised the ad
vanced rates to remain in effect.
Railroads operating In the Eastern
trunk line territory on May I* filed
tariffs Involving about *,000 Item*,
to become effective July I. A gen
eral complaint was made by shippers.
Investigation showed that there were
no more than flfty-elght changes In
the whole list, twenty-eight of which
were reductions voluntarily made and
thirty Increases. The commission an
nounced to-day that vlt would not
suspend These tariffs.

FOR NEW LIGHTS
- ,
Work of Laying Underground
Countctiona to Start Next
Month.
The campaign waged by Richmond
business men and good citixeng gen
erally for t>et»er Broad street lights
was brought to a tlnal and ultimate
successful conclusion last night, when
the Electricity Committee met and
awarded the contract for lajing the
underground connections to the Mc
Kay Engineering Company.
This means that the actual work
will start within the next few weeks,
not improbably before the middle of
! next month. By the end of next
month it Is probable that the eleotri
i cal work will have been completed.
I and that several of the lights will
actually have been Installed.
As already described in The Rich
mond Virginian, which has been un
swerving In lu advocacy of the Im
! provements, the new lights will con
sist of three clusters each. Three of
these clusters will be placed on every
block, on each side of Broad street,
i between Twelfth and Jefferson.
The awarding of the contract to the
McKay company was unanimous. This
concern had already been given a con
■ tract for the digging of conduits for
) lights in the middle of the streets,
and the terms of the original agree
i ment allowed, adding to amount of
! work to be done, with commensurate
augmentation to price, if the commit
I tee deemed such action advisable.
As a result, when the matter came
up for discussion, it was decided that
j it would he unnecessary to advertise
for comeptltlve bids, it wns argued
that by having one firm do all the
work, a saving would be effected in
time, trouble and expense.

FINDS DAUGHTER
DROWNED IN TUB
(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
POCAHONTAS, June JO.—When
Mr». J. H. Meadow* entered the kit
chen of her Powell street home Wed
\ needay afternoon’, after an abaence of
barely three minutes she found her
! two-year-old daughter drowned In a
i washtub.
The mother had been busy at th#
1 tub and was called from the room
i for a few minutes. Before leaving she
; removed clothing from the \f*ter,
leaving the big bowl little morel than
I half-filled.
Her child had been playing about
; the room while Mrs. Meadows was
| carrying on her work. When she was
'called to another part of the house the
i parent gave not a thought to the safe
| ty of the child.
| The lltle tot had evidently climbed
! upon a table and was splashing the
' Water In the tub, which was resting
I upon a chair. How the ,phlld tumbled
I into the water Is not known.
After a few minutes absense Mrs.
j Meadows returned to her work and
found the body of her daughter com
pletely submerged.
Though the case was hopeless medi
cal aid was summoned, but physicians
worked In vain to restore life.

WRITES TO BOARD
Rev. James P. Stuart Tells of
Recent Mob Trouble in
Italy.
PROTECTED BY SOLDIERS
Recites Facts Showing Protestants
were not Responsible for
Earthquake.
In a letter which the Foreign Mis
sion Board at Richmond has Just re
ceived Rev. James P. Stuart, one of
] the Baptist missionaries in Italy who
was threatened by a mob during the
j recent earthquake disturbance In that
country because the people thought
, the Protestants were responsible for
the earthquake, (Ives a full and de
tailed account of the affair, rehears
' Ing the causes which, in his opinion,
precipitated the trouble. Mrs. Emma
1. Stuart, 618 North Sixth street, moth
. er of the missionary, has also received
a letter from him telling of the trou
ble.
The epistle addressed to the foreign
board, of which Rev. Dr. R. J. Wil
lingham is corresponding secretary,
reads in part as follows;
"I have Just returned from one of
the towns in the south, where our
people are being greatly persecuted.
The people of that town. Blsaccla. are
very ignorant and fanatical. There
are about 7.000 In the town. Our
pastor there wrote an article which
offended the Inhabitants and gave tha
priests an opportunity to stir the
people Into a frenzy against all Pro
testants. fhe pastor had to leave
town. Members of our church and
their friends, numbering about 100,
remained true, but iiegged for a pas
tor to lead them. The people m«>i>bed
the one we sent. Dr. Whlttinghll! and
1 took the matter up with the au
thorities of the government. The Min
ister of the Interior said that we
I must wait indefinitely until the peo
ple were calmer, but we tnsiste^ that
we must have a pastor
“im|x>*AJbl<! to Protect 17#."
‘The authorities then said that they
would do what they could, but It was
impossible to promise to protect us.
We decided to send three good men,
Scalers, of Naples, and two others. I
determined to go with them to keep
up’' their courage, and to have the
| backing of Uncle Sam, if necessary.
When the authorities knew that I was
going, it had great effect upon them,
for they are afraid of our government
1 talked with our ambassador before
lea\ ing and took my passport w ith
j me. On the way I went to see the
governor of the province. He tried
to persuade me not to go, but to wait
a month or two. That would have
been a great blunder Tor us. for al
ready our people were being perse
cuted in other towns nt the province.
I showed the governor my passport
i and told him 1 w as going, and hq
I would have to take the consequences.
• He would not see the Italians with
! me and so 1 bad to talk with him ■
i alone. While there was danger, t >
knew that he was blurting and would
be compelled to protect us
bacortrd by Soldier*.
“At the station wo ware met by i
an escort of Cavalry and infantry and
so drove into town Saturday evening.
That ntght w e had servb e/in our lit- j
tie church which was guided by sol
diers and Ailed with tile brethren and j
friends. Sunday we held two services
and Monday evening another
“Signor Scaler i. who is one of tne
finest preachers In Italy, preached at
these services with great force, fn
couraging. comforting and teaching
the people. After an Investigation, we
published,a manifesto, saying that it;
had not been the intention ot our pas- j
tor to insult the people by his article,
that we were sorry for all that hau
happened, and that w« hoped wo
might ail live and work together iu
■ peace, protected by the laws of the
’country. The better ciasses came to
i ur aid and having won a complete
victory for our poor peoplp. we arrang
ed for preaching for them in the
future and planned to leave the next
morning at 6:31) o'clock
Earthquake Blocks Flans.
I “However, at 3 o'clock In the night,
there was a terrible earthquake. The
I people came out on the streets, like
mad wild beasts, frenzied with terror
They screamed and dried and prayed
After a little while they began to say
Uhat the Protestants had brought the
earthquake and we were in great dan
ger. At 4 o'clock the officers came
.and wanted us to leave secretly at
. once. 1 told them that if they insisted
t would do It for their sake*, but I
protested against leaving in that way.
1 knew that the people would say that
we had tied out of the city and all that
we had accomplished would be un
done.
People Veil and Curse.
“My opinion was verified at this
time by the appearance of our
brethren who came to see if we had
left, telling us that the people were
already saying that I had lied for my
life. He waa happy when he saw that
It was not true. I told the officers
that we would leave as we had planned
and informed them the night before.
8o we left guarded by 100 soldiers on
; one side and 100 on the other with
guns and bayonets, while the people,
I from 6,000 to 7,000 lined the streets
: yelling and cursing and threatening
1 us. as though they had been so many
hungry hyenas or viciously insane per
sons turned loose.
Troops Will Ktoy.
“The government Is going to keep
the soldiers there until the town Is
1 calmed sand we are going to have
| preaching there every Sunday and a
1 pastor on the Held. It did us good to
see how firm and faithful our little
flock ha# been. They are worthy of
anything that we can do for them.
Several are watting for baptism when
a new pastor is established on the
field.
"While about fifty persons were
kilted in the earthquake in the
province, forty of that number were
killed In the town of Calttri, some
jneven or eight mile# away. Nobody
waa killed in Blsaccla and none of
our members were Injured in the
province. This ought to be sufficient
to relieve us of the. charge of causing
the earthquake."
In a postscript. Rev. Mr. Ktuart
adds aa follows; "Since writing this,
j I have been able to talk with Signor
Luzzatti. the prime minister, and I
! have reason to hope for protection for
our people in the liberty of worship.
Our ambassador Is looking after the
interests ef our country and splen
j dldly. I wish. If you think wise,
you would send o telegram of thanks
and also writs to President Taft
: commtndtng the way the ambassador
has upheld the rights of American
cltlsens in this trying time. He Is
just the kind of man we need in Italy
at this lime."

RICHMOND FIGHT FANS
GIVE UP WESTERN TRIP
Party of Sports Who Had Planned to Witness Great Mill at
Frisco Get Cold Feet After Gillette Stepped in
and Ring is Shifted to Reno.
Because the Jeffries-Johnson mil! '
wuii transferred from ’Frisco to Reno,
NVv.. a party of Richmond fight fans
who had expected to witness the bout
wilt not make the trip west.
This was ascertained Thursday
from Mr. "alter Calvin, manager of
the Amateur Biiiiard Club. hast
Main Street, and former manager of
the Jefferson Hotel pool parlors.
Reno is far loo small a town to
accommodate the fight crowd, said
Mr Calvin." and those sandwiches
and hot water it will pass out didn't
look good to the Richmond sports.
Mr Calvin, who (s originally from
the West, had planned to engineer
a spec-la! party to ’Frisco, but the
bottom fell out of the trip when Gov
ernor Gillette stepped In and said
there would be no tight in the Golden
Gate town. Among th^e who were
going to make the trip^fv’ Mr. Louis
Rueger, the popular young restau
ranteur. .. . , . vt^»
As a matter of fact, declared
Calvin. ’I can't see much in that
fight any waye Kver since I saw John
son put it all over Jack O'Brien last
fall in Philadelphia 1 have had little
doubt as to the result of his scrap
with Jeffries. Johnson Is exceeding
lv shifty on his feet, but 1 hardly
think he has the knockout blow for
the White man. As it looks to me,

FOR HIS LIFE JULY 7

trial for his life July T. when he must
formerly answer the charge of mur
dering George Lewis. The trial date
was set by Judge Wilt m the Hustings

several occasions, owing to the fact
that Dean, being without funds has
been unable to secure an attorney to
defend him. This state of affairs has
now been remedied by Judge Witt,
who has appointed James §. Drake, a
rising young attorney to defend the
i alleged murderer.
Dean Is charged with having shot
Lewis during a quarrel which took
plare May if. The wounds proved
fatal. Dean, It is understood, will
