Value of the Islands.
The German Colony.

APIA, Samoa, May 29.-There is much
annoyance felt i'll the German colony
over the articles appearing in the United
States press about this place, drawing
comparisons with the government of
the United States at Tutilla. The crit
icisms are declared to be unfair. The
German governor has, 1t is said, acted
with great deal of tact in dealing with
the natives and succeeded in the diff
cult task he had before him. He has
brought the rival factions together and
now there is a desire to unite and form
a strong government. The natives are
contented for they are left pretty well
to themselves and have not felt any
harsh rule. The government has sue
ceeded in purchasing the whole of the
native and alien claims on the beach
front in Fagatoga. This gives the gov.
ernment a long stretch of sea front and
land for all purposes.

BlOodhounds Chase a Man Through
Swamps For Four Days.
MEMPHIS, June 12-J. H. Wright,
pursued by bloodhounds through swamp
and canebrake for four days, has sur
rendered to the Memphis police. He is
wanted for numbering Albert Brumley
and fatally wounding A. j. Hunt, at
Covington, in Randolph county. He
intended to kill Hunt and a man named
Bloom, but instead killed Brumley, a
bystander.
Wright has made startling confession
charging that he was at home when the
crime was committed; that there was a
conspiracy between himself and his
youngest son, James, aged "a, to kill
Hunt and Bloom. A part of the con-
spiracy was that himself and son should
engage in sham fight in the presence
of Hunt and Bloom and kill them both.
Later on the son, he says. killed Hunt
and fatally wounded Brumley.
Wright says he fed to avoid being
lynched and walked all the way to
Memphis. He is "a years of age and it
seems almost certain he will be lynched
when returned to the scene of the crime.
The son will be arrested also.
Covington has been wrought up since
the crime and the people say they will
mete out Justice without the aid OF
court.

Alabama's Chief Executive Passes
Peacefully Away
TUSCALOOSA, Ala, June I2-William
J. Sanford, governor of Alabama, died
at the residence of Professor and Mrs.
A. A. Persons at 1866 o'clock last night
of chronic valvular disease of the heart.
His death was sudden, though known
to be impending. He was surrounded
by all members of his family when the
end came, save his two oldest sons, w.
II. and L. Sanford, and his married
daughters, Mrs. James Smith and Mrs.
S. A. Dowell of Opehka.
Governor Sanford came here from
Stafford's Springs, Miss, on May "a,
enroute to Montgomery, and decided to
stay over day or 80 with his relatives,
Professor and Mrs. Persons. He after
wards decided to remain long enough to
attend the annual meeting of the uni
verSity trustees. He attended almost
all of the meetings.
During the time he had a number of
sinking spells with his heart, which did
not become known to the general public
On Thursday of last week his condition
became so critical that statement was
given to the public.
He has grown stronger and then weak
er since that time, suffering very severely
during Sunday night. Monday and
early Tuesday he did moderately well.
but yesterday afternoon he became
worse, his condition at o'clock becom-
ing extremely critical, hypostatic con-
gestion of the lungs having set in.
However, his wonderful vitality caused
him to revive later on, but the physi-
clans had practically given up all hopes.
The distinguished patient seemed
somewhat better only short time be-.
fore the end came and spoke to his wife
. minutes before he expired. His pulse
and respiration failed very suddenly
and he was dead before those about
him could hardly realize it,
Simple funeral services were conduct
ed over the remains of Governor Sam
ford this morning. The body will be
carried to Montgomery at 2 o'clock by
special train and will lie in state at the
capitol tomorrow and will be carried to
Opelika Friday morning for interment.

MURDER OF BERTA JACKSON.
Flowers, the Foster Father, Arrested
on Suspicion.

on Suspicion.
ATLANTA, June 12.-R. S. Flowers.
foster father of the murdered child,
Berta Jackson, was arrested at his home
near Poplar Spring at 1870 o'clock this
morning by Sheriff Talley of DeKalb
county. Statements reaching the ears
of the sheriff that Flowers was waiting
for good opportunity to leave, together,
it is said, with the evidence before the
coroner's jury, resulted in the arrest of
Flowers.
The dark crime, as dark as ever
blOtted the criminal records of DeKalb
county, has stirred up the people and
every possible effort will be made to as
certain who was guilty of the atrocious
crime upon q defenseless little child.
The body of the child was buried yes.
terday morning in a country cemetery,
near Decatur. Flowers and his wife and
a number of their neighbors were in at.
tendance.
The coroner's jury will meet again
this afternoon at o'clock in the court
house at Decatur.
More evidence will be given by physi.
clans who examined the child's body
and the nature of the injuries will be
more closely gone into.
Dark stains on the floor, a dark
stained bonnet, a crushed head and
some tangled statements are now the
clues upon which the authorities of De.
Kalb county, assisted by the Atlanta
detectives, are trying to unravel the
mysterious and brutal murder.

More Active Now Than Since Begin
n:'" o1 Year.
LONDON, June l2.-The leading indus
tries Of this country are, with one or
two exceptions, more active now than
they have been s;nce the beginning of
the year. Shipbuilders appear to be
fully employed, and Glasgow boasts of
having achieved success i'll obtaining a
large contract for steel tubes for South
America, in the face of keen cOmpeti-
tion of some United States firms. In
the textile industry the outlook is, how
ever, not very bright.
Readers Of The Mail, inspired by the
articles in that paper on the subject of
the American trade invasion of Great
Britain, are allowed to give vent to their
views in its columns. Some of them
aver that the invasion is myth; others
say that the Americans do not play a
fair game, and a small minority insist
that the invasion is in many respects a
blessing.
