Several years ago, realizing
the enormous amount OF
trade which went 10 New

ed this business and made
arrangements with the same
makers who supplied the
leading New York shops by
which we were to control
their output in Washington.
in doing 50 we brought this
recognized proper" foot
wear to this city, which had
never before been shown
here, and as a result we've
steadily gained the patron
age which formerly went out
of town.
The great shoe store which
we now occupy Is the monu-
ment to our success. No
body thinks of correct"
footwear but we are brought
to mind. You never see the
ordinary styles here-and
YOU always see the exclusive,
distinctive fashions. hence

A word about novelties.
Our idea of a shoe store is
the store which shows every

NEW COTTON COMPRESS.
The Trust Does Not Get Compress
Located in This City.


The new. cotton compress that Is being
erected on the south side Of the Georgia
railroad, Immediately beyond the Fulton
Bag and Cotton mills IS rapidly nearing
completion and is expected to be in oper-
alton within a very short time.
The compress is being erected by sand
ers. Swami & Co., and Beatty, Hobson &
Co., and 1t will be used in COMPRISING
the cotton of those two firms.
The erection of the new compress was
caused by the action Of the Atlanta COM
press company, which is the trust, In put
ting a charge upon. the cotton in Atlanta.
The firm of Sanders, Swami Co. and
that of Beatty, Hobson e. Co. did not
care to pay the charges upon cotton and
so notified the officials of the trust.
The erection of the new compress was
then commenced and shortly afterwards
the trust took off the charge upon cotton
in Atlanta but allowed 1t to remain in
all other cities. 1t is believed that the
charge will again go into effect in At
lanta.
No attempt will be made to fight the
trus, with the new compress that is be-
ing erected here. 1t is intended to do moth
ing in addition to the work of Sanders,
Swami & CO. and Beatty Hobson & Co.
No bid will be made for outside business
and 1t is said that none is wanted.
A new Webb high density press, with
a pressure of 1000 pounds is already in
the city and will be put into place within
a few days. The new compress will be
fully equipped and will be equal to all
the demands that will be made upon it by
its owners.

fore he left for Santiago to satisfy him
self that the Spanish feet was not at
Cienfuegos?"
The reply was: Il gathered from his con-
this conversation had been ruled out
versation that he had said that in some
Of the dispatches which were sent pre-
vious 10 the dispatch carried TO him which
was OF considerably later date and there
fore OF course annulled all the others"
Wasn't IL your understanding that the
Adula, in the communication with the
Brooklyn, led the officers of the Brook
Ign to believe that the Spanish fleet had
arrived at Santiago one day and come out
OF the harbor the next day? Wasn't that
the impression II left on your mind?"
The reply was:
1.-The Impression made on my mind was
no impression whatever. 1t is my recol-
lection that at that date I knew the fleet
was in Santiago"
Captain Bowman II. Mccall, who COM
manded the Marblehead during the Span
lsh war, was next called. He stated that
he had first come into contact with the
flying squadron on May 49, 1888. He was
then proceeding from the south coast OF
Cuba to Key West and met the squadron
on its way to Cuba. He had not been ask
ed to come aboard for the purpose of max
ing a report.
Captain McCalla said that upon reach
ing Key West he had informed Captain
Chadwick, Admiral SIMPSONS chief of
stan, OF the secret code he had arranged
with the Cuban insurgents, but that he
had not given II to anyone else.
Captain McCalla told of his return TO
Cienfuegogs on the morning of May "a. He
had carried dispatches to Admiral
Schley and had then told him of the ar
rangement to communicate with the Gu
bans and of his information that the
Spanish fleet was in the harbor at San
tiago.
He said that Schley had Immediately
assented to his going ashore. He also
told of his report to Schley and had then
for the first time seen the instructions TO
the commodore. The commodore had
told him that he had found difficulty In
coaling. but that he felt that If he re-
turned to Key West he would be court
martialed.
McCalla said he had advised him to go
to Santiago, even II he did not stay there.
In reply to questions Captain McCalla
stated that no effort had been made while
he was with the flying squadron on Glen
fuegos to prevent the Spaniards from
continuing the construction of earth
works, which he had been ordered to do.
He said the Marblehead could have gone
within range of these works and that he
had been told by a Cuban pilot that the
water was deep.

He had he said, heard afterwards that
the reversal was because they were pass
ing the Brooklyn.
Lieutenant Wood related the particulars
of his mission as dispatch carrier from
Admiral Sampson lying at Key West to
Admiral Schley who WIS off Cienfuegos.
He had left Key West on Ma GOTH car
rying dispatches of which the Iowa car
ried duplicates, and had reached Cienfue-
gos several hours in Advance of tine Iowa.
ION my arrival" the witness said, Il
went aboard and personally delivered the
dispatches which / carried from Admiral
Sampson to Commodore Schley in his
cabin at o'clock. He asked me Admiral
SIMPSONS idea about where the Spanish
squadron was. I told him I did not
know; he asked me ct Admiral Samp-
sons intentions. / told him l did not
know. them. He told ne he thought the
Spanish squadron wa4 there. He had
heard firing and was almost convinced
that they were there. The conversation
was on the line to enaeavor to find out
from me what Admiral Simpsons plans
WERE"
"Have you anything further to state
with respect to this interview which will
bear upon the subject BIZ this Inquiry"
1.-THE commodore hesltated some about
giving me coal. He Did not think ne
could snare IL at first. said II was abso-
OIL coal having made fhe run from Key
West. He said: Very veil go below and
1 will think 1t over went below to the
ward room and was afterward called up
and informed that thay would give me
coal. I had never before met the admi-
raj and he impressed me as being very
nervous. He would set up and walk
around. come back and sit down, and
number of questions he asked me about
Admiral SIMPSONS intentions I was una
BILE to answer"
Asked by Mr.. Raynor II Admiral Samp-
son or any one else had Informed him be-
fore he left Key West for Cienfuegos that
a code Of signals had been agreed upon
between the American forces and the
Cuban insurgents, Lieutenant Wood re-
piled in the negative. He had not he
said, received such Information and he
added that II was current talk at Key
West that the MarbIehead on previous
trip had established communication with
the .Cubans. If, however, a code had been
arranged he did not know of the fact.
Before Lieutenant Wood had concluded
his testimony the courf at 12;45 adjourned
for the day to permit Attendance at Judge
Wilson'S funeral.

SCREAMS IN HIS FRENZY.
Slayer of President Mckinley Breaks
Down Completely at Prison.

AUBURN, n. Y, Sept 27.-Czolgosz.
President McKinley's murderer, in the
custody of Sheriff Caldwell. of Erie coun-
ty. and twenty-one deputies. arrived in
Auburn at 3:15 a. m.
The prison is only about fifty yards
from the depot. Awaiting the arrival Of
the train there was a crowd of about two
hundred people.
Either for fear of the crowd which was
not very demonstrative or from sight OF
the prison, Czolgosz's legs gave out and
two deputy sheriffs were compelled to
practically carry the man into the prison.
Inside the gate his condition became
worse, and he was dragged up the stairs
and into the main hall.
He was placed in a sitting position on
the bench while the handouts were being
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned. evincing the most abJect
terror.
As soon as the hand cuffs were unlock
ed the man was dragged into the princi-
pal keepers office.
AS in the case of all prisoners the offi-
GERS Immediately proceeded to strip him
and put on a new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried and
yelled, making the prison corridors echo
with evidence of his terror.
The prison physician. DIT. John Germ,
examined the man and ordered his remo-
val to the cell in the condemned row,
which he will occupy until he is taken to
the electric chair. The doctor declared
that the man was suffering from fright
and terror. but said that he was sham
ming to some extent.
The collapse of the murderer was sur
prise to every one. Enroute from Buffalo
he showed no indication of breaking down.
He ate heartily of sandwiches and smoked
cigars when not eating. He talked some
and expressed regret for his crime. He
said: r
81 am especially sorry for Mrs. Nc
Kinley."
He reiterated his former statement
that he had no accomplices and declared
that he never heard of the man under
arrest in st. Louis who claimed to have
tied the handkerchief over his hand, con-
cealing the pistol with which the presi-
dent was shot. He says the handkerchief
was not tied.
He went behind the Temple of Music.
arranged the handkerchief so as to hide
the weapon and then took his place in the
crowd. To Jailer Mitchell he sent this
message to his father:
Tell him left such a bad name"

0 the court. counsel for the defendant

to the court, counsel for the defendant
said:
He says no other person had anything
to do with It; that no other person knew
Of his intention but himself. His father
or no one else knew anything about it.
The prisoner closed his lips, stared
straight ahead of him and awaited the
courts pronouncement of his doom.
The sentence was brief.
."Czolgosz," said the court, you have
committed grave crime against the state
and our union in the assassination of our
beloved president. After learning all the
facts and circumstances in the case
twelve good men have pronounced you
guilty of murder in the first degree. You
say that no other person abetted you in
the commission of this terrible act.
THE penalty is fixed by statute, and it
becomes my duty to impose sentence upon
you. The sentence of this court is that in
the week beginning October 18th, at the
place designated and in the manner pre-
scrioed by law, you suffer the punishment
of DEATH"
Czolgosz stood erect, looking straight
at the judge. He did not tremble, not a
muscle quivered.
AS soon as the death sentence was fin
ished he took his seat in the same indif-
ferent manner that has characterized him
throughout the trial He was brought to
his feet quickly by the officers at 2:2O.
They shackled him and led him away to
the jail. while the crowd surged after the
officers.
The officers had to force a passage for
the assassin from the court room.
Though elation and satisfaction were
written on every face in court there was
no applause and no demonstration of any
kind on the mart of the spectators.
Sheriff Caldwell was asked If he was
ready to take the prisoner to Auburn.
You may say that no one but those
who win act as guards and myself will
know the time of departure. Even the
guards will not be notified until the last
moment. The moment the prisoner is sem
fenced he passes into my hands. and from
that time until he is delivered at Auburn
1t will not be possible to learn about the
assassin's movements"
