GOVERNOR JELKS
 AFTER LYNCHERS He Directs an Investigation of the EImore County Case. COURT MAY BE CONVENED The Governor Says He VIII Do Ev- erythIne in Ills Power to Bring
 to Justice All Violaters of
 the Law.
COURT MAY BE CONVENED
BY FRANK HARVEY MILLER.

Montgomery, July 4.-(Special.) .)-Gover- nor Jelks is very much disturbed over the recent lynching of the negro Robert White in Fillmore county, and is determined to see if some punishment cannot be meted out to such outrageous infractions of the law. This is the first lynching which has occurred in Governor Jelks' administra- tion, he having by prompt action pre- vented a threatened lynching the other day in Lee county.
 In talking about the matter today with an Age-Herald correspondent the Cover nor said that he had communicated with Judge Denson and Solicitor Bremen of the Fifth circuit in regard to calling a special term of court in Fillmore county if they thought 1t advisable to investigate this lynching. The Governor had previously who stated that there was no danger of the other negro now in the Wetumpka jail being lynched, and that he had dis patched deputy to the scene of the out rage to keep down further trouble.
 The Governor advised Judge Denson that he understood from Sheriff Robbins that the people around Wetumpka felt greatly outraged. The bailiff from whom the prisoner was taken by mob of ten men was not an officer of the sheriff, and at the time the prisoner was taken from him he was accompanied by justice of the peace and probably two.
 Sheriff Robbins advises a special term of court, and the Governor has notified both the sheriff and Judge Denson that he is disposed to offer a large reward for information leading to the convic- tion of the law breakers
 Governor Jelks further said that those people who favor occasional lynchings found in this story proof that if the law is violated in respect to one crime there is no limit to its violation. In this case there was no possible excuse for lynch law, if there ever is excuse. The license to lynch under one circumstance seems to give license to lynch under all cir- cumstances. It forms the lynch habit so to speak
 The Governor said he was sure this crime. had ruffled the feelings and dis turbed the equilibrium of Judge Denson.
 Solicitor Brewer thought as much him. self, and he was pleased to know that the sheriff was also very indignant and that the people about Wetumpka de- nounced and protested against this need less crime.

FURTHER TROUBLE EXPECTED.
Reports Indicate That Missionaries In China Will be Attacked Again.

Berlin, July IA special dispatch to the Volks Zeitung from China says that according to advices received at mission headquarters. may missionaries have re- turned to the interior of Shan Tung province, where they were we'll received by the Chinese. The indemnities for mis- sions destroyed and Chinese Christians killed have nearly all been regulated and paid, but the missionaries from every To- cality report their belief that the present calm will not last. A missionary from Chen si province reports that, following the directions of the dowager empress, in Sian Flu. great preparations for war are being made.
 The German foreign office says that all official reports received here from China seem to show that no new preparations are being made for further uprisings in that country, and that upon investiga- ton the various alarming reports of ap- preaching trouble in China were found to be unwarranted.

federal government formerly donated to the State thirty-six sections of land in Clark county on the understanding that the State was never to part with the title to them. Only five sections however. were ever patented by the State. Governor Jelks will make an effort to obtain patents on the remaining thirty-one sec tions, but the lapse of time since the federal grant and the long neglect of the State to apply for patents may render them difficult to obtain.
 These five sections contain salt wells and 1t is supposed they may contain oil, as salt lands are frequently found to con- tain oil. The recent formation of a salt trust which has increased the price of salt, together with the hope of finding oil, has caused several offers to be made the State to lease these lands. Governor Jelks will advertise the lands and lease them to the highest responsible bidder.
 The process of obtaining salt from these wells Is very simple. The salt water is pumped out and allowed to evaporate and the salt is then gathered up.
 A Deserted Hall.
 The convention hall today looked empty
 
 were scattered around some writing let ters to their constituents and some sit- ting in corner spinning yarns or cussing and discussing pending measures These were the ones whose stomaches were un- equal to barbecues or who sought the cool breezes of the electric fans as a welcome relief from the heat of Montgomery. The ladies of the White House Association had deserted the Capitol for the day and there was no constitutional frappe" to be obtained nor any cooling drink save the national fluid-ice water. Many of the delegates went home to spend the day with their families, some "barbecued' to suburban resorts and some went to the races. Even the janitor took a day off. leaving the floor of the hall strewn with papers and other legislative litter, and the fair damsels of Montgomery who daily and gaily decorate the balcony with their charming faces and diaphonous summer gowns were, to quote from some unknown but clever writer Conspicuous by their absence"

NEED PROTECTION
Ex-ConsuI Says Criticism of the United
 States Suffer in Colombia.

New York, July 4.-James Elder, ex- consul of the United States at PaImyria, United States of Colombia, who has just returned from that country, declares that American merchant, mine and plantation owners who have large interests there are suffering much loss because this govern ment does not afford them sufficient pro- teotion against the ravages of the con- stant revolutions by the maintenance of more consuls and consular agents, the present number of which is not large enough to afford necessary relief to American interests.
 According to MT. Elder, revolutions, either general or local, occur about once & year The losses are caused in about equal proportions by the government and revolutionary troops. he says. The out rages, according to MT. Elder, can only be prevented by the United States govern ment ordering It's minister and consuls to insist on strict observance of the treaties
 MT. Elder says that the present govern ment in Colombia will not be able to hold out much longer. because the general be- lief in Colombia Is that a change is neces- sary

BULLS FIGHT
 IN SOUTH OMAHA
Four Mexican Toreodors and a Short Horn Bull Furnish
 Great Amusement

Omaha, Neb., July 1.-The first of the South Omaha bull fights took place at 8 o'clock this afternoon. It was a lively af- fair. Four Mexican toreadors met a medium-sized shorthorn bull, previously trained and rehearsed for the occasion. He was instantly attracted by the red sash and bright uniform of a toreador opposite the entrance and charged on him f1ercely. With an agile side jump the toreador avoided the animal, and he made a rush for another man, but the latter. with lightning quickness, succeeded in getting out of harms way. Then the bull knocked the toreador down and was all most in the act of goring him when the others came to the rescue and attracted the animals attention from the fallen man. He made a rush for the other three, who escaped easily.
 Another animal, a Texas bull. was turned into the arena, but acted only on the defensive, refusing to charge the tore adorS,
