the coroner without comment. Thus
for the first time in the history Of the
state. so far as is known, the sheriff
of a county was arrested, charged
with q heinous offense.
Under the law, in such cases, the
coroner is charged with the conduct OF
the office of sheriff. Coroner Gibson
wrote the governor of the state, say
ing that he demanded the office from
the sheriff, who had not only refused
to turn over the Office, but had refused
to be locked up in the jail and had
disct arged the jailer from whom he
had taken a receipt for his prisoner
and had ordered him from the jail.
The ccroner further reports that the
sheriff is at large under habeas corpus
proceedings and has requested advic:
Another unique question that arises
is wil5iher the governor can act 10
the matter, the state law prcEc<tlng

"ADVICE" TO PRESIDENT.
CHICAGO Federation Of Labor Sends
Roosevelt Long Letter Express
ing DispIeasure at Attitude.

President Roosevelt was voted by
the Chicago Federation of Labor, at
a meeting Sunday, 9,000-word letter
of advice in which fault is found with
the presidents attitude on the ques-
ton of open shops. The letter Was
prompted by the decision of President
Roosevelt in the Miller case, in which
the president said that Miller or any
other man must not be discharged
from the government printing Office on
account of non-membership in a union.
"Deliciously unaware of the hypocrl
sy Of the world of finance" honest
and humane, but uninformed," were
some of the clauses used to describe
the president in the long letter OF the
open shop committee.
It's opening paragraphs contained a
definite disclaimer of any wish to at
tack Mr.. Roosevelt, the blame for the
chief executives attitude in the Miller
affair being placed on "a coterie OF
certain well-known interests which are
constantly on guard around" the white
house. Tie president was told that
he fell into error in his view Of the
question, "because of that impetuors-
fly for which we love YOU" & copy
cf the communication will be forward
ed to Oyster Bay at once under date
of Labor day, September Z.
The reading of the letter before the
federation meeting occupied over an
hour, and excited applause from the
crowd of delegates.

Resolution in Philadelphia conventio"
Denounces BY Members Of Race.
Lynching and the crimes which Us
ually result In mob law were &C.
rounced in resolution adopted by the
National Negro Baptist convention IN
session at Philadelphia. The resoiH-
ton presented by Rev. J. 1. Dart o.
South Carolina, was as follows:
whereas, most Of the blood-curd'
ling outrages committed against the
pure womanhood of our country and
(which lead to mob uprising and lynca-
ing are charged to members OF our
race.
"Resolved, we make no special plea
or excuse for such criminals OF our
race: we frown upon any one who IS
guilty Of the crime of an assault On
woman; we, the representatives OF two
million people of the black race, desire
to place ourselves on record as say
ing that any who assaults helpless wo'
manhood Is not worthy the benefits Ct
life, but should be given a fair trial.
Resolved, That President Roosevelt
Is to be commended by Our people for
his fearless stand in favor of even
handed justice and fair trial for 81
criminals and for his declaration at a
time when passions ran high and pub
lie sentiment was uncontrolled"

jury Frees Reuken Pitts.

The trial at Spartanburg OF Reuben
B. Pitts for murder in having shot
Eddie Foster, student, while chastis'
ing him was quickly concluded by a
verdict of not guilty beng returned bv
the jury.
The case was the most exciting tried
in Spartanburg in years. When tue
verdict was read, about five hundred
people were in the room, half of whom
were ladies.
The reading of the verdict was loud
ly applauded, despite the efforts of Off.
GERS to prevent 1t. The jury was out
about an hour. Young Pitts returned
to his home in Laurens with his pa
rents. He is much broken in health
The fact that the mother of his VIC
tim, young Foster, has died since the
killing, and that Pitts acknowledged
that he habitually carried a pistol
weighed against him, but his weak
physique, ordinarily quiet demeanor
good character, and his claim that lie
only drew his pistol to frighten Foster
and the other pupils and keep them
from attacking him, secured his ac'
quittal.
