a SAVING OF 5000, 1000.
Representative Black Keeps Down the
Naval Expenditure.

Naval Expenditure.
Washington, May 16.-Representative
Black has succeeded in saving the gov
eminent 100000. Amos Cummings,
chairman of the committee on naval af-
fairs, was urging his appropriation bill in
the House. One section of this measure
authorized the Secretary of the Navy to
divert an appropriation of $500, 900 made
by the last congress for the construction
of dynamite cruiser from its original
purpose, and to build with this money one
submarine boat and four torpedo boats
Representative Black made the point
that this proposition changes an existing
law and was therefore out of order
Speaker Crisp sustained him.
The effect of Representative Blacks
action is that during this administration
this appropriation will not be Withdrawn
from the treasury, inasmuch as the Secre-
tary of the Navy is opposed to the con-
struction of any more dynamite cruisers.
Representative Black during the entire
discussion in the pending bill has urged
retrenchment, and has claimed that it
would be a useless expenditure of money
to increase the naval appropriation over
that of last year. The naval committee
was not inclined to accept the suggestion,
but in this instance he was sustained
by the speaker, and the funds
which the Secretary of the Navy
clearly did not desire to use
will be kept in the treasury Mai. Black
if he does nothing else, will have left his
impression on legislation during this
congress by the active way in which he
stood watch dog between the naval COM
mittee and the treasury.

WON'T BE AN ALDERMAN.
Mr.. Theus Says He Cannot Become

Mr.. S. E. Theus said yesterday that
the report that he was about to succeed
TO the seat in city council made vacant by
ex-Alderman Haines Is not likely to be
fulfilled.
Il have not been conferred with as yet
upon the matter" said MIR Theus, and
to save my friends in council any trouble
! nave addressed a letter to a close per-
sonal friend of mine. who is a member of
the board. informing him that 1t will be
lmposslole Tor me 70 accept the place
even should 1t be rendered me. My bust
ness and private obliga tons are such that
II Is out OF the question for me to think Of
becoming member of the board. I ap-
preclate very much the kind remarks of
my friends upon the subject, and espe-
clally those members of the board who
informed the MORNING News that | was
10 be the next alderman, but l have no
ambition on that line at present, and
nave no doubt that plenty of better men
can be secured -
The MORNING News had the best of
authirity for saying that MIR. Theus
would be the next alderman. Since MIR.
Theus has voluntarily put himself out of
the question 1t can be safely said thai
capt, j. f. Brooks will be the next alder
man II be will accept the place. Capt.
Brooks has been urged before to become a
member of the board, but has always re-
fused heretofore TO allow the use of his
name. HIS accession TO the board would
be very acceptable to the majority of
citizens of all classes.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TRAGEDY.
Shepherds Children Tell the Story of
the Killing.

Orlando, Fla, May 16.-J. d. Shepherd,
who killed Luther Walker, at Wekiva,
on Sunday morning was arraigned before
Justice Martin yesterday afternoon. He
waived an examination, and the justice
held him without bail to await the action
of the grand jury.
AS the prisoner waived an examination,
ii was not necessary to take any evidence,
but the state attorney deemed it prudent
TO examine the witnesses in order that he
might know whom to hold 10 appear in
| the case when it comes to trial.
Three sons and one daughter Of the pris-
Oner were examined. They were bright,
intelligent children, and while they
seemed reluctant to give testimony
against their father, they answered the
questions without reserve, and all told
substantially the same story about the
unfortunate affair. They told of the IN
pleasant relations which had existed be-
tween The father ana mother. which led
up to the arrest of the father, and his
being placed under bonds to keep the
peace; of his coming home on Saturday
night, excited and incensed over the turn
Of affairs, and the fact that he sat up
most of the night talking about it. In
the morning he sent one of the boys
with a horse and buggy to invite
Walker to come over and talk the matter
over, and, of his coming from the rear of
the house, gun INLAND as Walker reached
the gate, and of the shooting almost
without warning. Manyof the neigh bors
of the men were in town yesterday. They
are greatly incensed against Shepherd,
and feel that he deserves the extreme
penalty of the law. They all agree that
Walker was an inoffensive and peaceable
man, and that he was not armed when he
came to meet his death. BY some it is
said that Shepherd had brooded over his
troubles until his mind was upset. This
is liable TO be the line of defense

Albany, Ga. ). May 16.-The negro who
was brought here last night from Josse-
Ign, and supposed to be John Crooms, the
noted Worth county murderer, proved to
be an entirely different man. He did not
resemble Crooms except in statue, and
was set at liberty by his captor, who had
his trouble for his pains. Crooms was
undoubtedly lynched last year at Plant
City, and the $500 reward for his capture
need not longer be considered a prize to
be won.
