orator of Yale, 1904, who captured the Ten
Eyck prize in February, has received an
invitation to become the head Of an Afro
American empire to be established on the
Island Of Haiti. The proposition comes
from N. l.. Musgrove Of Sturgis, KY, who
is agitating movement tending toward
the seizure Of the island by American
negroes. The plan is for Mr.. Pickens to
enlist interest in the east and particularly
at Yale, and collect money for the equip
ment Of an army, the purchase of a war
ship, transports and provisions. Then the
negro army hope to attack Port-au-
Prince, the capital Of Haiti. and
eventually to place the island under the
protection of. the United States. The
government will be republican, but admin
istered as a gigantic corporate with all
the citizens as stockholders. Land titles
and franchises are to be vested in the
state. There will be no penitentiary or
sjails; /. all dangerous and incorrigible
criminals will be proyisioned and set
adrift on the sea to seek other shores
Agriculture, manufacture and other indus
tries are to be encouraged. Public schools
are to be established and liberty is to be
universal but the rights Of each are to be

MACHlNISIS ARE MEETING
Strong Ground Taken by President

ment by Injunction 2

Milwaukee, Wis, May 5.-President
James O'Connel1 Of the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists delivered his an
nual report. at to-day's session of that
body. The report states that a siren
uous battle is being fought by officers
of the organization against the piece
work. system in factories, regarding
which action will be taken before the close
of the convention. Calling attention to
7 the fact that employers are trying to en-
force theasysteme in preferences to the Neg
ulat day rate Of employment, the report
says:
This convention should decide that the
systems are either right or wrong and
that our members shall or shall not be
| permitted to work under them. If you
decide that the piece work system and
the operating of two or more machines is
| wrong, then I recommend that q date
be set a sufficient time ahead when our
membership at large shall be notified
that they will no longer be permitted to
work under the piece work or other sys-
TENS Of paying for labor, except the reg
ular daily rate, and that they will not
be permitted to operate two or more ma
chnes.'' 5.fz.
Touching upon the question of govern
na,nt by injunction, the report says:

THE "LEsIoN" THEORY
Erwin Lays Broad Foundation for Prov.
Ina InsanItv

Ing Insanity.
w. w. Erwin received the closest atten-
ton yesterday afternoon when he be-
gan to enlarge on the second line Of
defense in the Ames case-the insanity
plea. He explained that in the war his
client had contracted chronic bowel
trouble from which he still suffered. He
had an attack of intermittent fever and a
severe attack of Inflammation of the
liver. On his return from the war hav-
ing shrunk from 165 pounds to 12O, he was
stricken down and for year lowered
between life and death. In these Years
he laid the, foundation for the LESSONS
which his attorney holds responsible for
his present mental condition.
Moreover, Mr.. Erwin said, in every wear
since DIR. Ames went to the war he had
had one or more attacks Of Illness il
which he had been the victim Of delu-
sions and Authorizations.
1t is an admitted fact, declared Mr.. Err
win, that the LESSONS Of ancestors are in
herited. The defendants father died OF
cancer. Involving the kidneys, stomach and
liver. His fathers mother died of weak
ened cancer. Particular stress was laid
on the fact that a brother, Curtiss Ames.

| was now under restraint
The various hallucinations, delusions
and alterations would be testified to nv
DR.. j. w. Mcdonald, DR.. E. J. Clark and
| DR.. Harry Cohen.
| Mr.. Erwin declared that the first ones
to notice the impaired condition of the
MAYORS mind were those nearest to him
| namely Gardner and Norbeck, who took
| advantage Of his weakness to open =
graft system, using the doctors private
office for their purposes. The doctor
would deny the evidence of Gardner and
Norbeck and the jury could not hesitate
between the word Of this splendid old
man on the one hand, as against the tes-
timony Of a self-confessed blackmailer
trying to shield himself and a, self-con.
fessed jail bird, hoping for pardon.

AMEs ON THE STAND

Dr. "A. A. Ames was summoned to the
witness stand directly Mr.. Erwin had COM
peted his opening address. He leaned
upon cane and looked somewhat infirn,
and weak. On the stand he told his story
rather slowly and showed a remarkably
poor memory for names. He was unable
to give the names Of any of the physicians
who treated him at Hancock, N. FL. and
even forgot the name Of United States

ton
In his own behalf he recited the fact
| that he was 81 years of age and had lived
in Minneapolis ever since 1851 He told
Of his various attacks Of illness during
the war and in later years, including the
abscess, which attacked his liver at West
Baden. He went to Louisville to secure
better treatment than was available at
West Baden and afterward went to New
Hampshire to recuperate as he could live
there among relatives more cheaply. He
was in greatly straitened circumstances
while in Louisville, he said.
County Attorney Boardnan incurred
closely into the doctors movements after
he left West Baden. The witness denied

knowledge Of the fact that the authori-

On the advance, however. realizing was attracted in sufficient volumbe to check the advancing tendency, and prices were forced back to about last nights level. The selling was encouraged by the ex- celent weather reported over the South and by indications that the Southern storm would not reach the cotton belt, but shorts con tinued more or less uneasy. owing to the late ness of the crop. which. 1t is feared, will re- suit in continuation of light receipts for some time to come Shortly after midday the bull clique were free bidders for September. fore ing that option up to to.Se while August the later positions showed net gains of from 2 to 6 points.

Sales were estimated at 250ooo bales.
