Berlin, April 29.—Intimate connection be-
tween influenza and spotted fever or cere-
bro spinal meningitis, now epidemic in
Germany, is surmised by some German
investigators to have caused the disease.
Scientists appear not to be fullly satis-
fied that the bacillus meningitis is the sole
cause of the disease, since the same bacil-
lus is present in pneumonia. The so-
called Pfeiffer bacillus which causes the
influenza has been discovered in a number
of cases .of meningitis.
The epidemic has lately assumed a more
serious form in Silesia. In the Beauthen
district out of 28 cases 17 deaths were re-
ported for the week which ended April 26,
and in the Kattowitz district last week
there were 47 new cases and 27 deaths.
Sporadic cases are now reported daily
from nearly all parts of Germany.

police interfered Mulcahy, who chanced
to be nearest the negroes, had been fear-
fully slashed.
His assailant was followed by a crowd
throwing sticks, stones and other missiles,
many of which struck the fugitive. Tha
negro finally managed to run through a
livery stable and escaped.
Following the outbreak, 100 negroes em-

Chicago, Ill., April 29.—President Roose-
velt may be formally asked to end the
teamsters’ strike here as he did the strike
of the anthracite coal miners.
A resolution requesting the president to
try and Induce the employers of Chicago
to arbitrate the issues which are now
being fought out and so s.vert the bringing
of troops to Chicago, is expected to be in-
troduced in the Chicago Federation of
Labor’s special meeting today.
The petition of the president may be pre-
sented to him on his arrivel in Chicago
shortly.
Disturbances today In the teamsters’
strike began promptly. Trouble started
near the 18th 'street barns of the Employ-
ers’ Teaming company.
John Mulcahy, a plumber, was attacked
by a non-union colored teamster and cut
with a razor about the face and neck.
Mulcahy was taken to the people’s hos-

may be made nearer to town so that every
one who wishes may witness them.

New York, April 29.—Nan Patterson re-
ceived a number of newspaper men in
prison today and talked with them freely
regarding her case.
The interview was arranged by her coun-
sel but none of them were present at the
meeting. During the talk she sat beside
her sister just outside the door of their
cell.
Miss Patterson said she was thoroughly
in accord with the decision of her coun-
sel not to put her .in defense, she con-
sidering It an eminently proper course.
She praised the courage of Mr. Levy,
the chief counsel, in daring to submit the
case to the jury on prosecution evidence.
‘‘I am not at all afraid of anything
Midget has said on the stand,” she said,
she placed her hand on her sisters
arm.
“To me Mr. Rand’s action was more
amusing than serious, knowing, as I do
know, that he offered Midget her free-
dom if she would testify as he directed.
Of course, anybody would be nervous
when one was so badgered as was Julia.
"Although he tried very hard, he did
not do me any harm, at least that is
what I think. But did you ever see any-
thing so shameful?” ’she continued, "as
his offer to my sister of her freedom if
she would promise to testify against me?”
The sisters then embraced and then
Nan said to her sister: "Don’t you think
the same way Midget?” she asked Mrs.
Smith.
When I arrived in Galveston five years
ago’ the president of the Galveston
Brewery told me,: “I want you to make
the best quality of beer regardless of
cost.” I know that I have ever since
faithfully tried to comply with this in-
struction, and I think with very good suc-
cess so far, but in a population of 35,099
people there are different tastes and I
may not have been able to please every-
body. In fact, I know that some cus-
tomers desire to have a beer similar to
the foreign quality, and to meet this de-
mand I have now made a brew which will
be sold under the brand of “High Grade.”
Having spared no time, labor or expense
to produce a beer waich is bound to give
general satisfaction, I hope my ambition
will now be fully gratified.
The new beer will be ready for delivery
on May 1.
Very respectfully,
F. K. REUEL,
Brew Master. Galveston Brewery.

GALVESTON TRIBUNE.
On account of the high tide and prevail-
ing winds it is thougt that there will be no
racing on the beach near this point either
today or tomorrow. The Gulf was beating
on the beach at a ferocious rate today and
Col. Green did not take his racing cars to
the time course at all. However, he with
other members of his party went for a
ride down the beach at an early hour
and had not returned at a late hour this
afternoon. Capt. J. W. Munn of the Gulf
Fisheries company took a trip as far as
Nottingham, before noon, looking for the
colonel, but was unable to find him. By
concluded [that the Green
party have gone to the end of the island
to discover if possible a more suitable
place for the tryouts of the racing ma-
chines than the one which has been laid
out near Nottingham.
Mr. Eugene Cortey, secretary to Col
Green, arrived in the city from North
Texas /this 'morning and Accompanied
Capt. Munn on his quest for the Green
party. He was unable to join them, how-
ever.
It was contemplated that some fast time
would be made on the course today on
account of the use th-at the machines have
been placed to previous to this time, but
unfortunately for the operators the wind
and tide was altogether unfavorable for.
such a thing, and the tryouts had to be
temporarily abandoned. It is expected
that Col. Green will return to the citj
at an early hour this afternoon. If th©
beach is favorable and the wind either
switches to another direction or died down
tomorrow, some more work may be done
on the Nottingham course, but from the
present indications this is unlikely.
Yesterday the beach was in splendid con-
dition for automobiling. The machine op-
erators were very busy all day long, and
the Yellow Wasp made the mile in 56 sec-
onds it is stated positively by one of those
present. This is remarkably good time,
taking all of the matters into considera-
tion. The Yellow Wasp is a Pope-Toledo,
30-horse power, and weighs 1734 pounds.
The racer was driven by Ollie Savin in her
speed trial yesterday.
So far as known none of the Dallas or
Houston enthusiasts arrived in the city
this morning and the railway officials
state that no additional cars were brought
into the city. The Gray Wolf, the other
racing car of Col. Green’s that he has in
Galveston, is at present the holder of the
world’s record in her class, it is stated,
but it is confidently believed by Col. Green
and his friends that the ’Yellow Wasp will
lower this record by three seconds. Tht
record of the Wolf if 46 flat. During the
speed trials of the Wasp yesterday the
tide had left the beach rather uneven, so
that racing for time was done under a dis-
advantage. It will be several days yet
before Col. Green completes his tryouts,
and in that time those interested may sea
some good sport by visiting the course
west of Fort Crockett.
Col. Green is anxious, to have it under-
stood that the trials which are being made
here are in no way official and that no
matter how many records are broken here
none of them will count on the national
records. The tryouts here are being made
for personal gratification only. The col-
onel is anxious to know just what his
cars will do, and as Galveston affords the
best course in this part of the country
upon which to try them out, he came here
for that purpose. After he finds just what
the cars can do he will then go to some
of the excellent tracks of the east where
valuable trophies are hung up and en-
deavor to take them and make a record
for his machines at the same time.
The colonel is always glad to see any
one that is interested in automobiling, and

The Galveston delegation of Pythians
returned yesterday evening from the con-
vention of the grand lodge of Texas at
Mineral Wells well pleased with the
meeting and with the success with which
they secured the thirty-third annual
meeting for this city in April, 1906. Gal-
veston was represented by the following
delegates who worked like true Pythians
to bring the next meeting of the grand
lodge to this city:
W. J. Burke, Humboldt No. 9; Charles
Freitag, Shiller No. 56; B. J. Hughes,
Oleander No. 139; Judge S. T. Fontaine,
Henry Rosenberg No. 244; Harry Ketch-
um, Island City No. 175, and E. G. Little-
john, Galveston No. 300.
Sir Knight yv. J- Burk made the nom-
inating speech in placing the Sea Wallcity
before the convention for the gathering
in 1906 and Galveston carried the conven-
tion over the several other cities that were
candidates. The grand lodge held its’
annual meeing in Galveston in April, 1901,
and to return to this city in five years
speaks well for the local delegates and for
Galveston as a convention city.
Sir Knight Saul Levy, one of the most
enthusiastic Pythians of Galveston and
one of the most popular knights in the
state, is making an excellent record in
the grand lodge, having been advanced

Greenville, 8. C., April 29.—A special
train bearing the Robert C. Ogden Educa-
tional party ran into a freight train today
just outside Greenville.
The engine, baggage car, library car
and two dining cars were badly damaged.
Nearly all the party were asleep when
the accident occurred. The passengers
injured were in the dining car.
The fireman on the special train was
killed and Prof. Henry W. B. Farnum
of Yale university had his right arm
broken and was severely cut and bruised.
Mrs. Farnum was also cut and bruised.
Others hurt were: St. Clair McKelway
of the Brooklyn Eagle, who was bruised
about the shoulder by being thrown
through the window of the dining car
while breakfasting; R. M. Odgen, secre-
tary to R. C. Odgen, who has cuts and
bruises, and Mrs. J. G. Thorp of Cam-
bridge, Mass., who was cut about the face
and shoulders and badly bruised,
eral of the colored
and bruised.
After the collision the wreck caught
fire and it is feared that one of the
cooks in the dining car was burned to
death.
Later it was announced that a flagman
and three negro employes of the dining
cars were killed. The dead are: Chas.
M. Coope, flagman; J. E. Little, W. W.
Cummings and J, F. Hayne, negroes,
employes of the dining car.
The train left Columbia
morning and but a few of the party had
arisen when the accident happened.
Had it occurred during the breakfast
hour many would doubtlessly have been
killed. Prof. Henry W. Farnum of Yale
university is perhaps the most seriously
injured.
His head is bruised and arm broken.
Mrs. Farnum is hurt on the shoulder and
arm. In jumping, Engineer Hunter broke
his leg and arm.
Mr. St. Clair McKelway of the Brook-
lyn Eagle, who was in the forward din-
ing car, was pinioned under timbers but
escaped without Injury except a wrench
of the back. R. M. Odgen, secretary to
R. C. Odgen, wrist broken. Dr. Drehr
of Roanoke college, bruieed. Mrs.
Thorp, daughter of Longfellow, also
bruised. All these passengers were in the
forward dining car.
Tourist Agent John F. McCoy was cut
in the head. Dr. and Mrs. Farnum were
taken to the hospital. It is reported that
several hours will be required to clear
■the track. ,
A special train is being made up; the
party will abandon its’ itinerary and re-
turn direct to New York.
Among the passengers on the train were
Charles B. Aycock, former governor of
North Carolina, Dr. A. S. Draper, New
York state commissioner of education;
Dwight Kellogg, Rev. Arthur B. Kin-
solving, Seth Lowe, former mayor
New York; Robert Treat Payne
