TRIED TO KILL COBB
H. T. PURSoNs ATTEMPTS TIC
 SHOOT CONVICTED NEGRO.
Former is the Father of Mrs. Will jams, Whom the Black Fiend Assaulted and Robbed at
 Alexandria Last Fall.

Anniston. April 1.-(Speciai.)-Th jury in the case of Jack Cobb returned a. ver- dict this afternoon finding him guilty and sentencing him to ninety-nine years in the penitentiary.
 Cobb was charged with assaulting Mrs. Linda Williams at Alexandria last fall and robbing her home and 1t was upon the charge of robbery he was tried. The first ballot of the jury was four for hang ing and the rest scattering from fifteen to ninety-nine years sentence.
 While being carried 10 fail after being sentenced. H. T. Pursons. County Super intendent of Education and father of Mrs. Williams, attempted to shoot the negro, but was prevented by Deputy Sheriff.
 Fearing mob violence, Sheriff Woodruff sent the negro to Talladega during the afternoon, from which place he will be sent to Wetumpka. The feeling in the city was very strong. and 1t is thought that the negro would have been lynched had he remained in the city.
 During the trial Mrs. Williams positive ly identified the negro as her assailant.

VIEWS OF HOKE SMITH
FoRESEEs RETURN TO JEFFER-
 SoNIAN PRINCIPLES.
Says Conservative Man Should Be Named for President-Knows of No Cleveland Movement
 in the South.

New York. April 1.-(Special. .)-Hoke Smith. of Atlanta, who was a member of Cleveland's Cabinet, has been visiting New York. Before leaving today he talked to The Advertiser correspondent country generally.
 ''I believe the Democratic Party has a good chance to return to power," said he, If the National Convention will nominate a conservative man. Grover Cleveland is such a man, but I know of no Cleveland movement in the South There are two possible candidates. either of whom would be Loyalty supported They are Olney and Judge Parker. Bryan never was popular in the South except in spots and he has no strength at all there now nor anywhere else that know of, for that matter. He Is too much like Roosevelt to suit our people.
 They would prefer even a Republican like Mckinley to either of them.
 q think the Convention will nominate an acceptable man upon which all can agree, and l look for a return of the Jeffersonlan party to the saddle
 "As to Republican candidates. I think both Republicans and Democrats of the South would rather see Hanna, Fairbanks or Odell named than Roosevelt"
 MT. Smith spoke In glowing terms of business prosperity of the South and It's industries.
 Everywhere, he said. people were busy. mills running to full capacity and rail- roads crowded with passengers and freight.

Washington, April 1.-The following statement in regard to the organization Of National banks since the passage of the act of March IA. 1900, has been issued from the office of the Comptroller of the Currency:
 At the close of March. 1908, the law in relation to the organization of banks with minimum capital of $25,00O has been in operation three.years and seventeen days. During that period there have been add ed to the National banking system LAB associations with aggregate capital stock of $s6.135,5 800. The additions to the sys- tenn by conversions of State banks and congratulations of State or private banks were 179 and AS respectively. the capital of the converted banks amounting to s12.- 226,000 and of the reorganized associations $29. .7a0.0o0. The banks organized during the period in question deposited as se- curity for circulation bonds to the amount of only s20 At, 800, or fraction less than 24 per cent. of the capital. During the month C1darch) 66 national banks were organized with 6 capital stock of s2,170,- 900 and bond deposits of $642, $50. March 31. 1908, the number of national banks was 3,S69, and their authorized capital stock $S3s ,es5. The amount of bonds on deposit as security for circulation has increased since March IA. 1900, from s244.- sl1 57o to $s42. 1so77o. or ss7 200. and Ma tional bank circulation shows a net in- crease during this period of $12S.116,62S.

OFF ON TRIP
 TO THEyEST
 z President cvelt Begins four. IT BE BvBs1FUL Will Assist in Dedicating St.
 Louis Exposition. Peculiar Dispute Arises as to Whether Governor Cummins or Congressman Hull Shall Ride with Roosevelt in Des Moines.

washington. April 1-(Special.) )-Presi- dent Roosevelt began, this morning, his trip which will carry him throughout the West. Politically looked at, the Presi- dents wide swing is going to be exceed ingly interesting.
 It is certain that ne must encounter some experiences of great import to his future, but he appears to go at 1t Jas though it were just merry jaunt Like a schcolboy, he was up at o'clock this morning to telephone for the result of the Corbett- t-McGovern prize fight.
 In St. Louis, for instance. April 30 and May and g. MT. Roosevelt will speak side by side with ex-President Grover Cleveland.
 The occasion will be the dedicatory ceremonies of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition grounds. Both gentlemen are expected to deal with historical topics, but it is probable politics and the issues of the day may figure to some extent in the addresses.
 MT. Cleveland's speech is being awaited with especial interest in view of the gossip which has been current that ne will try for renomination for the Presi- dency.
 The Des Moines Dispute.
 In Iowa, the Presidents travels will be surrounded by circumstances of unusual interest. A dispute has already arisen rather amusing in its character, but seemingly of great importance to the Republicans there. as to whether the President shall be accompanied in his carriage while riding in Des Moines by Governor A. B. Cummins or Congress man John A. T. Hull. These two men represent rival factions of the Republi- can organization of the State. Governor Cummins is a tariff revisiouist and Cap tain Hull is an ultra rrotectionist, and is fighting the Cummins following. Iowa Republicans, in view of the fact that both Captain Hull and Governor Cummins have made a bid to be allowed to ride with the President in his lan- dau, are awaiting the outcome with con- siderable anxiety. It is argued that the result of the Presidents choice will mean presidential recognition of one faction or the other.
 The President is known to be in sympa. thy with the tariff ideas of Governor Cummins Besides. 1t is customary fol the Governor of the State to accompany the President on such occasions. It is likely, therefore, that Governor Cummins will ride with the President.

MoRRIssEY TALKS.
Says Dissolution of the Injunction is
 Not a Surprise.

Not a Surprise.
 Cleveland, O., April 1.-Grsnd Master P. H. Morrissey of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, referring to the dissolution of the injunction against the Wabash ems ployes, said today:
 ''The decision of Judge Adams was noe unexpected. There was absolutely no foundation in truth at any time to war rant the extraordinary procedure taken but as the complaint of the company on which the injunction was issued was of such a grave nature, involving the liber- ties of citizenship as we'll as alleging cons spiracy against interstate commerce.. 10 was not such a surprise that the judge felt Justified in issuing the provisional order.
 ''It was absurd as well as unjust to charge the two organizations with the tna tertion of inaugurating a boycott or de4 claring sympathetic strikes on other lines, because of any trouble that might occur on the Wabash. The committees representing the employees are now free to act and if the differences are not ann icably adjusted it will not be because they or the organizations of which they are q part, have taken an unreasonable or ar bitrary position. We will lend our best efforts toward peaceable settlement"
 Mir Gould held conference today on arriving from New York with General Counsel Blodgett of the Wabash. and stated that nothing would be done until MT. Ramsay returns from abroad.
 If there are any questions that need immediate adjustment" he continued. 'I am sure Mir. Ashley, whom Mir. Ramsey has left in charge, will deal with them in a fair and generous spirit"

RODE IN THE CAB.
President Views Scenery of the Fam
 ous Horseshoe Curve.

Pittsburg. Pa, April 1.-President Roosevelt viewed the scenery around the famous Horseshoe Curve this afternoon from a seat in the cab of locomotive attached to his special train. and after a ride of about fifty miles expressed him. self as delighted with the experience. When his special train reached Altoona at 4:50 p. m.. the President alighted from his car and walked rapidly to the front of the train. Two locomotives were coupled to 1t ready to pull the heavy cars over the Allegheny Mountains and the President shook hands with the crew of each. He then climbed into the cab of the rear locomotive.
 In the cab with him were Secretary Loeb, Trainmaster A. Keiser, Special En- gineer Robert McLaren. the regular en- giner H. T. Mccormick and Fireman H. w. Hunter As he took his seat the President remarked that being a mem- Der of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, think ought to take my turn at feeding the furnace" but he did not shovel coal.
 When Galltizen. the crest of the noun tains, was reached. the front locomotive was detached from the train and the run to Seward was made with one loco motive At Seward the President des.

 While the Presidents locomotive oc- cupied second place on the train tunnel nearly a mile long was traversed and, although the cab was protected by win dows and doors, much smoke found It's way in. While the President sat in the cab. the speed of the train did not ex- ceed 45 miles an hour.
 Outside of his ride in the cab. the President passed an uneventful day, de- voting a large portion of the time to read ing. Brief stops were made at Balu- more, Harrisburg and Altoona, but only at Harrisburg did the President make a speech. At Harrisburg he was welcomed by the President of the State Senate and the,speaker of the State House of Rep resentatives ana although no speech was scheduled for Harrisburg. MT. Roosevelt appeared on the rear platform of his car and delivered short address which was received with many cheers by the large crowd l He said:

 Transit Tunnel.

New York, April 1.-When the tunnel under the East river, now being built, Is completed passengers will shoot the chute" under the East river from Bat tery Park. Manhattan. to Nassu Street. Brooklyn.
 The tunnel will he in the shape of a crescent. with a 1-2 per cent dip on either side. The trains will be started by electricity. but the power will be shut of when the gravity of the grade reaches a certain point. and the trains will shoot down. acquiring velocity of a mile a minute at the lowest portion of the tun- mel in the middle of the river. and with enough momentum to climb the grade on the other side.
 The road will be equipped with electri- cal brakes, so that in case of an accident at any point on the track, the train be- hind will be automatically stopped. Trains will start from both sides of the river simultaneously.
 This will be the only gravity tunnel in the world.

 Philadelphia, April 1.-The award of the Anthracite Strike Commission went into full effect today throughout the anthra- cite coal region.
 The beginning of the new conditions was generally observed as a holiday in the Southern fields, almost all the mines in that district being idle. In several towns phrades and mass meetings were held. In the middle and upper regions some of the collieries were not operated. but most of the mine workers reported for duty.
 As a rule the readjustment of hours and other conditions was effected with It, tie difficulty. At some places there was friction, but it Is expected that whatever difficulty still exists will be strengthened out in a few days. In the region where the Readings collieries are situated, there Is some trouble regarding the establishing of the three shifts of eight hours each among the hremen as ordered by the Commission. Until today the firemen have worked twelve hours, and 1t is all legged by some of the firemen that in mak- ing up the third shift of eight hours men were taken from the other two shifts. in- creasing the work even though the hours have been reduced.

LAUTERBAcH REPLIES.
Says Keene Has Never Offered to Sell
 His Individual Stock.

Nashville. Tenn, April 1.-The case of Talbot J. Taylor and Co.,, vs. The Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific Railway Companies. came up before the United States Circuit Judge, H. H Lur- ton, here this afternoon, Judges Wilson and Barton of the State Court of Ap- peals, sitting with Judge Lurton by in- vitation.
 There were present United States Sem ator Joseph B. Foraker of Cincinnati. Edward w. Lauterbach, Eugene Tread we'll and Maxwell Eyarts of New York; Judge Alex Humphrey and Augustus E. Wilson of Louisville, and Laurence Max well of Cincinnati.
 The UniaA Pacific. or Hartman inter est, in the Southern Pacific, is repre- sented by Messrs. Humphrey. Maxwell and Evarts and the Keene. or minority stockholders interest by Senator Fora ker and Messrs. Lauterbach, Treadwell and Wilson.
 Affidavits in support of the bill of in- Junction as well as the Union Pacific reply, together with affidavits, were filed during the day. MT. Harrimans affidavit was read when the hearing began at 3 o'clock and upon it's conclusion MT. Lau- terbach, representing the Keene inter ests presented his argument. He was followed by Judge Humphrey, for the Hartman interest. Judge Humphrey had not completed his argument at o'clock, when an adjournment was taken to 9;3O in tie morning.
 MT. Lauterbach late tonight made the following statement:
 ''The sffidavits of James R. Keene. Tal- bot J. Taylor and myself were filed show ing that MT. Keene owns at least, and has held for some time, 100000 shares of Southern Pacific individually and that Talbot J. T"ylor owns an equal amount, irrespective of any interest In the pool, which would increase their holdings to more than 300.OO0 shares. This suit is brought on Talbot J. Taylor's stock | which is not included in the pool and it | is entirely on behalf of Talbot J. Taylor as a firm and has no reference to the nool stock MT. Kecne never authorized | any one to offer his individual stock or | bis mol stock for sale. nor did Mir.

MT | Keene's criticisms were directed against | the unusual methods pursued by the | Union Pacific majority in the Southern | Pacific Board, both in regard to the | enormous and unnecessary expenses on | the Southern Pacific which IS being re- | buiIt and improved and that in most
