$4,000 NOW MEANS
$4,000 FOR TECH
EIGHT OF THE TEN THOUSAND
NECESSARY TO SECURE THE
NORTHERN GIFT is NOW
SECURED.

The Georgia School of Technology, the
greatest school of it's kind in the south,
needs 5000 more to secure the gift OF
$4,000 offered by the General Educational
Board, on condition that friends of the
school would raise like amount. The
friends of the school have given 5000 and
s., 900 more is necessary. This money
must be raised by June 10th, when the
offer of the General Educational Board
will expire. The Journal, well realizing
the needs of this institution, today starts
subscription list among its readers.
heading the list with $50 in an effort to
raise the additional 5000. President Ly-
man Hall, OF the Tech, and those friends
of the institution who have been working
with him, have exhausted all their means
for raising the $4,000, and have secured
5000.
The other 5000 must be raised.
This school is doing an inestimable
amount of good in the south, and a gen.
erous offer such as has been made by the
General Educational Board. cannot be al
lowed to go by in default. The people OF
Georgia should recognize the great needs
of the institution, and should subscribe
literally. The Journal has opened sub
scription list, heading it with $3.50, and
will receive any amount for the fund.
Four Give $1,000 Each.
The General Educational Board, of New
York, composed of a large number of H.
nanciers and philanthropists. a. few days
ago agreed to give to the Tech $4,000
for the equipment and maintenance of
an electrical and experimental labora-
tory, provided other friends of the insti-
tuition would give an additional $4,000 by
June 18th. which is the last day for rails
ing the $4,000 and securing the gift of
the General Educational Board. Presi-
dent Lyman Hall and other friends of the
school Immediately went to work TO
raise the $4,000 necessary. In few days
four we'll known southerners had given
81 900 each for the fund, and large num-
Der of smaller subscriptions had been
given. A. b. Steele and II. NJ. Atkin-
son gave 81 900 each, as did James Swami
and Samuel Spencer, Of New York city.
A large number of subscriptions, ranging
from $3.50 TO $50 increased the fund to
something like 5000. An additional 5000
must be secured, and 1t must be secured
by June 18th.

WHEN IS CONGRESS
To ADJOURN. FOR
SESSION?
A CLIQUE OF is SENATORS ARE
FILI5UsTERINe TO PREVENT
PASSAGE. OF CUBAN RE.
cIPRocITY BILL.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June About
every member OF congress has hazarded a
guess at the date when the present session
shall come 20 an end, but since there are
few who agree II Is impossible to gauge
the length Of the session from opinions Of
members.
1t Is generally conceded that the session
cannot last longer than another thirty
days. There are but two bills of lmpor-
lance 70 be considered, the Cuban recip-
rocity bill by the senate and the canal bill
which Is now under discussion IN the SEN
ate. Both these bills have passed the
lower house, which is now so far ahead OF
week has been given to consideration OF a
bill that would ordinarily be finished up
In two days. In the house they are walt
ing for the senate TO catch up.
An element which may hasten the end
has lately appeared In the senate. IL Is
she 'B'olters" or Boxers" as they are
fscetiousiy called by their colleagues, who
have cut away from the main body of re-
publlcans and formed an alliance TO Keep
down legislation In favor Of reciprocity
with Cuba. This element numbers IS sena-
tors OF high influence. They want an early
adjournment now In order 10 cut on propos-
ed Cuban legislation. One OF the tricks they
have 20 play. IL Is said. Is for each senator
10 take a day In speaking buncombe on
the canal Oil In ORDER 10 tenkInen the ue-
bate on the measure so the senate will be
glad enough TO quit and go home at the
conclusion Of the canal debate, leaving the
Cuban problem unsettled, and therefore
leaving the beet sugar interests still pro-
tected They are strong enough TO cut a
figure In the matter II they adopt this
vancouver, hence IL may be that the session
will come to an end earlier than July LIST.
Representative Rupert, democrat, Of
New York, has introduced a resolution In
the house calling on the speaker Of the
house and the president Of the senate to
adjourn their respective houses on Satur-
day, June 2Sth. This measure 10 taken by
some 70 be In the interest Of the beet SUI
gar advocates, since an adjournment on
June 2sth would surely cut on the pro-
posed Cuban legislation. In view OF this
movement, however, IL must be remem-
bered that President Roosevelt has threat
ened TO call an extra session Of congress
IL this session adjourns without giving re-
lief to Cuba.
There are so many influences at work to
secure either an early adjournment or a
prolonged session, that 1t cannot be de-
termlned with any degree OF certainty just
when the end viii come, but considering
that the house has practically finished Its
work, and that but two measures remain
for the senate to finish up, Il seems al
together likely that July 4th will find the
capitol deserted.

IS BURNED
IN EFFIGY
WTLKESBARRE COAL MINERS
HANG HIS, EFFIGY, APPLY A
TORCH AND PELT HIS IMAGE
WITH STONES.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June The
hanging in effigy of ]. Pierpont Morgan
in one Of the streets of South Wilkesbarre
by crowd Of men and boys was the only
incident to mar the stiffness Of the Wyo-
ming Valley this morning. After the ef-
figy had been hanged the crowd cheered
and pelted the object with stones until
the police came along and dispersed the
several hundred persons that made up the
throng.
Ali the mining towns surrounding the
city are very quiet. The news from
Washington that President Roosevelt
could not find his way clear to effecting
pesce between the miners and operators
was received here with genuine disap-
pointment. It had been strongly hoped
that the president would be able to find
some means Of opening up way to peace.
Today marks the end OF the fourth
week OF the total suspension of coal min
ing and the miners and their employers
are farther apart than ever.
The Susquehanna Coal company put
non-union fremen 10 work in its No. 5
colliery at Nanticoke today for the pur-
pose OF restoring the water supply 10
portion of the borough, The company
furnished the power for the pumping of
water in the reservoir and the action of
the miners union In calling out the men
at the colliery caused the company TO
shut down the whole plant. The borough
council was TO have brought injunction
proceedings today but they are stayed
for the present.
The four coal and iron policemen who
are charged with the shooting of Charles
Va Mccain. the 1S-year-old boy at the
Stanton colliery Thursday night, were
given preliminary hearing today and
were committed TO Jail for further hear

JUSTICE HAL LEWIS.

Judge Hal T. Lewis. Of the supreme
court of Georgia, will probably tender his
resignation to Governor Gambler this week
or next, the resignation to go into effect
on October /, 1902.
At present Judge Lewis is at Atlantic
City, n. j.. where he has been for sew
eral months on account of his health. He
has not improved as rapidly as he desired,
and he is of the opinion that 1t would be
best for him to sever his connection with
the court and resume theSpractice OF law
at his home In Greensboro, Ga.
AS a result of the resignation not taking
effect until October list, Governor Gambler
will not appoint Judge Lewis successor
The constitution of the state provides,
where il relates to vacancies on the SUI
preme court, that in case Of vacancy the
governor shall have the power to appoint
only until the next general election.
Judge Lewis resignation, 1t is under
stood will not go into effect until OCTOBER
list, and on that day this year the next
general election VIII be held: Therefore.
there will be no vacancy as the fact that
Judge Lewis intends to resign and the
fact that he will tender his resignation TO
the governor before the state conven-
ton meets on the I'd day of next month
will leave the matter for that body to
settle.
= whether the convention will decide to
order another primary for the election or
a fudge of the supreme court Is a matter
mat will be decided by the state ,conven-
ton. The probability is, however, that
the convention will nominate candidate
to succeed Judge Lewis. and that the
nominee viii be voted for in the general
election as the nominee OF the party. The
vacancy under these conditions would not
exist until October list and on that day
the election is to be held to I'LL such
vacancy.
Where vacancies occur in cases Of judg-
es Of the superior courts the governor has
the powers to appoint successors for the
unexpired term of the one causing the va
cancy. Where supreme court justices are
concerned, however, the constitution mas
a different provision.
There has been considerable talk re-
Gently regarding the successor to Judge
Lewis. as IL has been reported for long
while that ii was his intention 20 resign.
Judge John s. Gambler, Judge Howard
Van Epps, Judge George Gober and Judge
William II. FELTON, have been spoken of as
possible candidates for the nomination be-
fore the convention.
The fact that Judge Lewis Is to resign
viii be learned with great regret by his
hundreds of friends throughout the state.
He is regarded as one of the most bril-
liant men in Georgia, and It is to be re-
GREETED that his health will no longer per-
init him serving on the supreme court
bench. which he has so ably graced since
his election IN 1897. Justice Lewis has been
Identified with Georgia politics for many
years, and in the year 1896 1t was Justice
Lewis who made the great speech at the
Chicago Democratic convention nominat-
ing William Jennings Bryan for the pres
idency.

RACE FOR SPEAKER
IS GROWING
WARM

Several new candidates for the posis
ton of speaker of the house are now
possible. The defeat OF Roland Ellis In
Bib will give the support which had
already been pledged him in event Of his
election 10 some of the men who an
nounced for the position some time ago.
The latest probable entries for the
speakership are John NJ. Slaton of Full
ton and Pleasant A. Stovall Of Savannah.
Both men are very popular in the stats
and both have many friends. II either
or both Of them should enter the race Z
would be a great deal more interesting
than 1t is now.
Mr.. slaton has not fully determined yet
as to whether he will announce and viii
not do so for several days yet. The mat
ter has not been mentioned to Mr.. Sto-
vail as yet, but Journal dispatches from
Savannah Saturday tell OF proabls
meeting to be held in Savannah this week
at which Mr.. Stovail win be urged 70
run.
The candidates who are now in the
race are Walter Steed of Taylor. Emer-
son George of Morgan, Newton Norris OF
Cobb and Fondren Mitchell. of Thomas
All OF these candidates are claiming their
election on the first ballot The entrances
of Mr.. SIaton and Mr.. Stovall into re
field would probably change things con-
siderably.
]. A. Perry OF Gwinnett is the only
candidate for speaker pro tenn 50 far an
nounced. Frank Mitchell of Emanuel.
who was discussing the matter Of run
ming for the affice at the close OF the
last session, is not a candidate for re-
election IN his county and this leaves
the field open to Mr. Perry. Mr. Perry
will be unanimously elected in Gwinnett,
and will no doubtb win out in the race Tor
speaker pro TEN unless he has opposition
and in that event viii be hard man
to beat.
