Ted lurton Tells Remarkable
Stacy of Depredation,
Gives Names of Forty Members of the
Band and Makes Damaging Disclos
ures Regarding Killing of Captain
Rankin.
Ted Burton, self confessed night rhP
or, under arrest nt Tlptoiivllle, Tcnn.,
told a remarkable story of night rider
depredations In the vicinity of Koelfoot
Juke, confessing to the part he played
Jn the outrages which reached a culmi
nation In the putting to death of Cap
tain Quentln Rankin, a prominent at
torney of Trenton, Tenn., on the banks
of the lake a week ago, nnd implicat
ing men prominent In that section of
tho state. Of the number, he declared',
who had a part in the killing of Cap
tain Rankin, more than half are now
in custody at Camp Nemo, the military
base near Samburg.
While Burton denies that ho was
present when Captain Rankin wna put
to death, ho admits that It was through
information given by htm that tho
bnnd congregated and secured the at
torney whllo Ira stopped at the hotel
tit Walnut Log. According to Burton's
confession, Tom and Garret Johnson,
tinder arrest, and William Wilson, un
der bond In connection with another
raid, were the leaders of the lake
band. Burton declares that the first
part he played as a member of tho
night riders' band was when he aided
in the burning of a fish dock at Sam
burg and several weeks later was one
of a party which crossed thS county
line from the Reelfoot lake district
into the adjoining county of Lake and
whipped Justice of the Peace Winn,
an aged man.
Coming to tho killing of Captain
Rankin, Burton declared that tho night
before the lynching he went to Walnut
Log and there met James F. Carpen
ter, the attorney of Union City, at
whose solicitation Rankin and Judge
R. Z. Taylor; his associate la the West
Tennessee company, tho owners of the
land upon which the lake is situated,
came to the lake. It was stated that
tho visit of tho two men was to enter
Into a timber, deal with Carpenter.
After this conversation, Burton states
he communicated with the night rider
leaders and told of the intended visit
of the representatives of the land com
pany. On tho following night he saw
the two men ut supper at tho hotel,
but declares he left Walnut Log early
In the night and went out Into the
lake to fish. Ho states that he was
'fishing when he heard tho shots which
ended the life of Captuln Rankin, but
did not return to the shore for some
time. In the course of hla confession,
Burton gave' the names of no less than
forty members c the night riders.

Mayor of Boston Inaugurate Telepost
6rvlc One Cent a Word the High
est Rate For Any Distance.
"In sending you the first Telepost
message between Boston arid Port
'mud I extend congratulations upon tho
successful Inauguration of quicker nnd
cheaper means of communication which
automatic telegraphy has now brought
nbout and. which cannot fall to be n
groat boon to the people of our own
and other municipalities."
With this message to the mnyor of
Portland. Me.. Mnyor George A. Illb
"hard of Boston announced the ensiling
of the lines of the new telegraph com
pany, the Telepost. This system,
which sends and receives wire mes
sages nt 1,000 wards a minute, innkcs
possible so ninny economies that the
new company Is able to make n rate
of 25 cents for twenty-five words be
tween nil points. On Tcleposts deliv
ered nt destination through the malls
the rate is 25 cents for fifty words,
telecards 10 centB for ten words.
One of the best descriptions of the
Delany automatic system controlled
by the Telepost is given in the report
of the Franklin institute, Just made
public, awarding Patrick B. Delnny the
Elliott Cresson gold medal. In mak
ing this award the Franklin institute
authorities describe the Delnny sys
tem ns "the lutest development In au
tomatic telegrnpbj."
The system embraces both electro
magnetic and electro-cher.ik'n! methods
of receiving inesNages and transmitting
them by perforated tapes. Referring
fto the mnln features of the Delany
system, the Franklin Institute report
says:
J Could Kilted Former Automatic Co.
The most notable use of the chem
ical system was by the Automatic Tel
egraph company, which built lines In
'1871 from New York to Washington
and Charleston, with offices at Phil
adelphia and other intermediate
points. It continued in business for
about three years with fair success,
when Jay Gould obtained control of
the stock and sold it to Vundcrbllt and
(Western "Union Interests. Delnny, Ed
ison, Johnson and some other well
known electrical engineers were prom
inent In that company, Mr. Delany be
ing its general manager. He has nev
er wavered In his belief that automat
ic telegraphy miibt eventually become
universal.
The principal difficulty encountered
by Jill high siieed telegraphs nnd which
j-'uve the dd automatic line the most
tvoti'ilt l "retardation." or the "static
clnr -v." or "capacity," of the circuit.
Tii" most important of the Delany
pafoM s deals with the object lettable
static -barge. In this patent Mr. De
lnny describes a method of utilizing
the "ctipuclty" of the circuit In produc
ing tjie record on the receiving tape.
Tire capacity of the line as 0 dis
turbing factor liiivlug been removed, It
Is a short step to Increase the speed
and distance over which chemical tele
graphs may be operated.
Tested at 1,200 Word a Minute.
The committee saw the Delany ai
purutus In operation on two occasions
and tested the speed of transmission
of the chemical system at 1,200 words
n minute. The record on the tape was
perfect, much more uniform than could
possibly have been inudu by bund
transmission.
The commercial Importance of Mr.
Delnny's completed system of high
Jspeeil automatic telegraphy and par
ticularly of his elimination of that bane
of telegraphy, the static charge, or re
tardation, becomes more and more ev
ident as Itu application to existing con
ditions is cumddcicd. I Huh speed upon
long or short lines Is now assured Tho
carrying capacity of n line is uuulu
hl.t.fud neater than hand worked
lines. Kxpcrt service is reduced to a
minimum. Krrors in transmission are
eliminated. Line maintenance Is de-
ei en sell In piopnrt'011 to Increased
speed. As :i result uf these conditions
tw cost of M'rx lee c.in be made so low
that the volume of business should be
very great.

Republicans Deny Bryan's Claims.
Lincoln, Oct. 28. Mr. Bryan's state
ment at New York that he would carry
his home precinct and the city of Lin
coln is sustained by the Democratic
state and county committee cKalrrnen,
but is denied by Republican campaign
managers, who declared Mr. Bryan
had probably been misled by reports
from home. The city of Lincoln has
a normal Republican plurality of about
l.COO and to overturn this would re
quire a Democratic gain of slightly in
excess of thirty-one to the precinct.
