T TWO NEGROES
 ARE LYNCHED Prophet" Smith and F. D. McLand Swung Up. THE FORMER DIED PRAYING Their Deaths Outcome of Mur- der of John Gray Foster. Mob Decided It Was Necessary to Put Negroes Out of the Way
 to Preserve Lives of
 Whites.
THE FORMER DIED PRAYING

Shreveport. La., June 19.-Frank, bet ter known as Prophet Smith. and F. D. McLand. held at Benton for com plicity in the murder of John Gray Foster, were taken out by a mob to- night and strung up to a tree. They were left dangling side by side.
 The lynching occurred on the Arr kansas road about one mile and half from the jail. Both negroes made statements before death, denying that they had anything to do with the kill ing.
 Smith, who was the head of the Church of God" movement in that sec ton and was blamed as being respon- sible for the sentiment against the whites which led to the death of Eos ter, died praying. McLand was silent as he was swung up.
 As Smith was being led from the Jail prior to the execution he was heard to say: Lord, you promised to be with me now"
 There were about 200 armed men in the mob and they overpowered the sheriff and jailer, taking the keys away from them. The lynchers claimed that the execution of these negroes was necessary to the preservation of the lives of white men in this locality.

MAY SPRING SURPRISE
DEFENSE CONFIDENT IN MoR
 BISON CASE.
Will Introduce Peddler to Swear That Mrs. Castle Lured the Defendant Into Her
 House.

. Eldorado, Kas., June 19.--After only two days testimony-taking, the State, in the case ofNJessie Morrison, on trial flor the murder of Mrs. olin Castle, rested this afternoon. The defense
 will 1t is said. spring a surprise In the introdrction of new evidence not ad-
 duced at the first trial When Miss Morrison. took the stand in December last to tell in her own defense of the fatal quarrel with her rival, she testi- fled that Mrs. Castle had lured her to the house and started the trouble. At that time an affidavit of A. J. Morgan, a pcddler, who swore that he heard Mrs. Castle rap on the door as Miss Morrison was passing her house, and called her in, was presented. Morgan could not be found, but it is now said the defence has located him and will put him on the stand. Other new wit nesses may be introduced by the de- fence to sustain the plea of self-de- fence.
 The evidence today consisted of the death-bed statement of Mrs. Castle, in which she accuses Miss Morrison of calling upon her unoidden, beginning a quarrel, and then slashing her with a razor, and the introduction of wit nesses who describe the scene at the Castle house on the morning of the fight.
 Mrs. Spangler today testified to hear ing these words: "Get off me, Jessie Morrison. You are killing me-" Later, and before entering the house, she looked through the window.
 T saw two women." she testified. "One woman was lying on the floor and the other was bending over her. The one bending over was Jessie Morrison. Miss Morrison had her hands out over the one on the floor. She moved her hands quickly and then crawled around to the feet of Mrs. Castle and sat there Mrs. Castle raised part way up and motioned toward the door. saw the blood over her clothing. It was saturated"
 Mrs. Spangler went on to tell how she attracted the attention of another Mrs, Moberly, and they both entered the house; and of taking Miss Morrison from the scene. Mrs. Span. gler continued: ""Woman. what have you done?' I asked her. She said she had killed Mrs. Castle and would kill me. I cut her all to pieces with razor,' she said"
 Mrs. MoberIy and half a dozen other witnesses who followed, eorroborated the testimony of Mrs. Spangler. Only testimony pertaining to the actual killing was permitted by the court. . T. A. Kramer, making the statement on behalf of Miss Morrison this after noon, said it would be shown that she killed Mrs. Castle in self-defense, and that the latter never gave up hope of life and that, therefore, the dying dec- laration is not valid.

Talks of Census offce's Report on
 the Cotton Acreage.

Birmingham, Ala, June 19.-Secretary Hester of the New Orleans Cotton Ex- change, who has just returned from Washington, where he had lengthy in terview with Superintendent Merriam of the Census Bureau, says:
 T had a most satisfactory interview with Superintendent Merriam and also with Mir. Powers. Chief of the Census Bureau of Agriculture, and Mir. Norths Chief of the Bureau of Manufactures
 ''I was assured that everything pos sible would be done to hasten reports on acreage and manufactures, and Mir North expressed the opinion that ns would be enabled to make public the acre. age report by the middle of November
 This is of the greatest importance 70 the South. for the official figures as 70 acreage will give us a reliable basis oE fact upon which to form our estimates hereafter Acreage estimates now are estimates merely. We have had no onis cial figures since those Of the census oA 1890. eleven years ago, and when the cen sils cotton reports of that year were maoe public they demonstrated that the ngurea of the estimated acreage were wrong ko thA extent of several million acres. so there are no means of guessing now Just how far the present estimates VIII ultkSF from the ascertained facts Of the census.
 sa'The official report which we hope 70 receive In November will give us the Ac- tuaI number of acres planted in cotton for the crop of 190l-O2 and we can ace at a glance what progress has been made since the last official figures were secured for the crop of 1SS9-9O
 ''The report of the census on the cot- ton-producing industry will, I am eontl- together the most satisfactory ever ls- sued in this country. and would say % much concerning the general agricultural reports for the entire country"

BARKER coNTRADIcTs KELLER.
His Evidence in Direct Conflict With
 the Ministers.

New York, June I9.--The case of Thomas c, Barker, on trial at Jersey City, N. J., for the shooting of Rev. John Keller, may go to the jury tomorrow. Barker and his wife were on the stand today They told their story, so far as the court would allow answers to the questions of counsel for the defense. and, although the record reference to the alleged assault before the jury in one way and another, though the nature of the assault" was not brought out. The witnesses answered so promptly that objections came shade late. In this way "the outrage" was re- ferred to several times during the day. The State had it stricken out each time, but the impression went to the jury.
 Barker, on the stand, told his version of the shooting. He said he met Keller and that Keller spoke to him. This was in direct contradiction of Keller's testi- mony on the stand, as he claimed not to have met any one. Barker said he re- sponded to Keller's greeting by calling Keller a villain, charging him with out raging Mrs. Barker: he then, he eaid'. began firing. MT Keller. when on the stand, said that not word was spoken and that he saw no one.
 The purpose of Barker's testimony was to show that, after having brooded for neriod over what his wife had told him, he was in a morbid state of mind and when he came face to face with the min-- ister, he was carried away by feeling and began firing: that 1t was sudden, violent and temporary insanity. lasting but moment but long enough to cover the period of the shooting.
 Mrs, Barker was expected to break down and become hysterical on the wit ness stand. but cooler woman has sel- dom occupied the chair.

PROSPECTUS OF THE HOTEL COMPANY
 PREPARED BY MONTGOMERY BUSINESS MEN

Under existing conditions a large part of this passenger business passes through Montgomery without stopping at any hotel. A first class modern hotel will not onl yretain this, but in- duce a much greater patronage.
 "The management expects that after a period of two years the hotel will be finished complete, and leased. thus practically insuring the shareholders a dividend even before their stock is paid up in full. The hope is indulged that every property owner, investor and wage earner will become interested as shareholders in this investment, which means so much to the future of our city"

UNIVERSAL PEACE DESIRED.
Edward Everett Hale Delivers Ad-
 dress in Columbus, O.


 Columbus. O., June 19.-Edward Everett Hale delivered the annual address at the Ohio State University commencement to- dayt His subject was ''The Duties of the New Century" Among other things. he said:
 Will the Twentieth Century see the American Indian. the negro, the Asiatic and white races living as one nation be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific? How shall the black and white races be brought in accord and harmony? As the children of God if we choose to elect this duty, we have the power to effect this union of the races and our Anglo Saxon blood will assert itself in a union of one people. with a love for freedom.
 "The accomplishment of this ideal re- quires permanent peace among the na- tons of the world. The fifty-one nations of the world must agree to submit all their disputes to one Supreme Court, or the follies of the last sixteen hundred years will be continued. Educated peo- pie give too little attention to the two hundred years of peace early in the Christian era. for to that we owe the civilization of today. It is the duty and opportunity before the young people of the country today to bring about uni versal peace.
