ness men will deem 1t otherwise, espe-
clally when great majority OF the people
OF Alabama do not now recognize Colonel
Oates as the legally elected Governor OF
the State.
Aldbama's defacto Governor is engaged
IN playing new and unique role. Usually
people come 10 New York city TO get
buncoed; now Colonel Oates Is here en-
deavoring 10 bunco the financiers of Wall
street into purchasing Alabama bonds
Wnen there is each year a growing deficit
IN the State Treasury, and when IL is
with effort that the people are restrained
from, open rebellion against the present
fraudulent defacto administration. Coun-
" officers, who handle State revenues,
have been retained in office and pro-
tected from prosecution after IL is known
that they are defaulters- of the state
funds, thus II is evident that those whose
way into office is stolen by prostituting
the ballot box, cannot be trusted with
the custody or the peoples money. Hence
the great demand for ballot reform in
the South.

Receiver Graham VIII Not Yield to Re-

criNFr fa'lCy'H n quest
PHILADELPHIA, PA, March B.-A
telegram from Indianapolis announces
that Roscoe Hawkins attorney for Re
ceiver Failey, Of the defunct order Of
Iron Hall, has left that city for this
with a view 10 effecting u settlement
with Receiver George ). Graham and se-
curing certain pass-bookS and certificates
which. IT is claimed Mr.. Graham has,
and which, if turned over would enable
Receiver Failey to declare more divi-
dends. Mr. Graham, when seen last eve
ming. said he had not been apprised OF
Attorney Hawkins contemplated visit
but was Tot surprised to hear that he
was coming east, as the object OF his
visit was doubtless i'm line with certain
requests emanating from Receiver Failey,
which Mr.. Graham has refused to comply
with.
Everything in the shape of assets of
the Iron Hall in my hands. with the eX-
ception Of a prospective dividend from
the Mutual Banking Company, has been
turned over TO Receiver Fa.ley," said
Mr. Graham. The bone Of contention,
he continued, was this Mutual Banking
Company. OF which MIR Graham is also
the receiver. 4 number of the local
branches of the Iron Hall made the bank
their depository. and with the receiver
ship came the tying up of the funds de-
posted. Receiver Failey has contended
mat before those branches could partic.-
pate IN any Iron Hall dividends they
muat pay 60 him as receiver the difference
In cash between any dividends that had
been declared by him as receiver, and the
amount 10 their credit i'm the Mutual
Bank
Mr.. Graham has taken different view
or the matter. and now has in his pos-
session as receiver OF the bank some
$4,000. 1t is on account of those differ
ences that Mr.. Hawkins is coming Eas;.

cy was discovered TO proclaim General
Antonio Ezeta president. As soon as the
facts came to light President Guiterez or
dered the principal leaders shot. Among
them were Colonels Delfno Berrias and
Fernando Saldego and Captain Mangandi.
The chief Of police was shot Immediately

whole city was thrown into state OF
excitement, agents of the reignlns Gov

thought concerned.

All prisoners who were in Jail since the
last uprising were ordered to be hanged
and it is supposed by this time that the
order has been executed.
The loyal people of Salvador became IN
fur.ated upon the discovery the con-

TO the office OF Colonel Angelo Kasquez
and lynched MIN without parley.
WORRIED OVER HIS CHILDREN.
