known as "Sin Killer" appeared in
Justice Shocks court yesterday after
noon to testify in a case against Abe
and Duke Mills, publishers Of the AL

with criminal libel. The circumstances
of the case had been well aired and in
consequence a large concourse of ne
groes filled the little courtroom when
the case was to be called. 1t was,
however, disappointed crowd, for in
stead of lengthy trial and sensation
al testimony, the proceedings were cut
abruptly short. Defendants waived
examination and gave bond in the sum
of $500 each to await the action of the
grand jury.

No 0|1l| Prison CONGRESS
Opened In The Capital Of Texas
Today
Papers Read On The Care And
Maintenance OF COnvictS And
Their Moral And Phyi-
cal Progress.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 3.-(SpeciaD-The
opening business session Of the Great
National Prison congress was held in
this city this morning The Warden
association president, Captain Joseph
Nicholson, of Detroit, Michigan, was
detained at home by sickness and First
Vice President Edward S. Wright, of
Michigan, presided over the meeting.
Warden Otis Fuller, of lonia, Mich,
read an extremely interesting paper on
Prison Labor Legislation" avoiding
the working of conVicts on every pos
sible industry by the state. His pa
per brought up discussion of the New
York convict law. Several speakers
took exceptions to the law claiming
that it was against the interest of hon
est labor. The New York delegation
insisted that the law was all right,
having been decided by the laboring
classes of New York and adopted at
their instance and that its operation
was entirely satisfactory to all inter-
ested parties. A lengthy discussion
was also had on What is the best So
luton of the convict labor problem"
The debate was opened by ]. w.
French, warden of the Federal peni-
Tertiary at Fort Leavenworth, who
was in favor of establishing schools in
connection with every penitentiary in
the land so as to indiyidualize each
convict and assist his moral progress.

OUR RACE MEET.
Cars to Ship Horses are Hard to Get
Crowds of Fast Stock Coming.


There is every indication, from pres
emit outlook, that the coming race
meeting will be eminently successful
from every standpoint. At last cars
have been secured for the immediate
TRANSPORTATION Of the horses In Fort
Worth to this point. 1t has been no
easy matter to secure these cars, for
lust at this particular season Of the
year ii Is very difficult to obtain palace
horse cars, on account of all the large
race meetings throughout the north
and east breaking up for the season.
This fact has been a source Of much
annoyance to the management here,
because horsemen dislike to ship their
stock In anything other than palace
2=-- -=-=, --E--:.. =. -
of horses recently racing in Eft. Worth
all of which will be here. The difficult
ty has been happily overcome and to-
morrow the horses wiz leave for their
new winter home and will be seen here
Sunday afternoon at the latest.
Col. Hatch has accomplished feat
seldom undertaken in Texas-that of
securing a rate of one cent per mile
throughout the state on every railroad
entering San Antonio, TO hold good
and be in force during the sixty-day
race meeting. This unusually low rate
will certainly bring many thousands
of new faces to San Antonio during
the winter. 1t means at least $4,000
per month left among the merchants.
During the course of the meeting there
will be at least 500 horses and men
here who in all probability would
never have seen San Antonio had 1t
not been for the unusual energy dis
played by Col. Hatch In bringing on
the coming race meeting.
The officials are of such standing
that their names guarantee fair and
square racing from .le time Starter

In the last race of the meeting.
Secretary Giles and Clerkof Scales
Alberts visited the track this morn
ing and are highly pleased with the
excellent way the grounds look. BY
the opening day they will have all
the details perfectly arranged.
Letters are fast pouring in from
norSemen all over the country anx-
iously inquiring about the race meet
ing and if as many come as have prom
Used it will tax Sec. Giles best ingenui-
ty to properly house the horses. He
says, however, that he will care for
all of them even if it requires the
building of new stabling room. Horses
will be here from Montana, Califor-
mia, Colorado, st. Louis, Chicago,
Nashville, Pimlico, New Orleans,
Roby, Harlem, Dallas, Palestine, Vic
toria, Houston, the Morris Ranch,
and all those from Fit. Worth, so it
only remains to be seen how soon they
can get here. The only difficulty lays
in the fact that suitable cars are hard
to be had, but that difficulty is being
fast overcome, and it is now certain
the meeting will begin on schedule
time.
