MANY SHOTS EXCHANGED BETWEEN
WHITES AND BLACKS.
Militia Ordered I'm Readiness to Pro-
ceed to the scene of Trouble
"Details Lacking.

JASPER, Ala. March 26.-Information
was received here tonight Of a race riot
twelve miles east of Jasper late this after
noon. One hundred and fifty shots are re-
ported TO have been exchanged, but the
casualties cannot be ascertained at this
hour. A farmer named Murray came in
about Z o'clock for ammunition. and has
returned.
Up to II o'clock nothing further has been
heard from the seat Of trouble in the East
ern part of the county. Sheriff Moore has
received a telegram from Governor jerks
authorizing him to call out the local mill
tia whenever he thinks it necessary. Cap
tain Bankhead has also been instructed
by the Governor to respond to the call of
the Sheriff.
The seat of the trouble is at a negro
colony about twelve miles east of here, on
Warrior river. The negroes have organ
lied and armed themselves and are pre-
pared to make a stubborn resistance.
The trouble has been brewing for some
time. and is the outgrowth of bitter racial
feeling, which was further accentuated by
white men whipping two negroes on the
charge of stealing.

Prizes for Military Motors.

BERLIN, March 26.-In to-day's issue of
the Reichsanzeiger the ministries of war
and agriculture publish an offer for first,
second and third prizes of 10000 marks, 5000
marks and $500 marks. respectively, for
the best alcohol motors for military use.
These motors must be made in Germany.
They are to weigh less than eight tons and
must be capable of drawing sixteen tons
on good roads. The motor of itself must be
able to cross meadows, plowed lands and
water eighteen inches deep. The tires may
be twenty inches wide. According to the
terms of the offer these machines must
be ready to be tested in February, 1903.
The above offer is a result Of the initia-
tive of Emperor William. who has long
been interested in alcohol motors and en-
gines. He is convinced of the possible eco
nomical use OF such motors for the trans
portation Of military supplies and the NOV
ing Of artillery. German farmers are in
terested in the idea because alcohol is made
from potatoes.
