WANTS TO KNOW THE SOUTH

TAKE \ TRIP THIS WINTER.
Mr.. Roosevelt Has Long Wanted to
Come South. But He Was Afraid
His Mission Would Me Misunder-
stood.

Birmingham, Ala, September 2S.-ln-
ternal Revenue Collector Joseph
.. Thompson, who is just back from a
conference with the president at Oyster
Bay, said today that Mr.. Roosevelt Is
considering making a trip south this
winter and speaking in two or three
cities each in Georgia and Alabama, in
Guiding Atlanta and Birmingham.
He says the president was anxious
70 come south, though he did not say
definitely just when he would come. The
president added that he had often been
tempted TO visit this section, but was
afraid his mission would be misunder-
stood: that the people might think the
trip was for vote getting.
While the president did not so state
Mr.. Thompson is of the opinion that
he would like the southern people tc
understand him better, and he is anx-
ious to come south to dispel some OF
the erroneous impressions now thought
to prevail in this section, regarding his
southern attitude.

mini a marble cutter, were found on
Lexington avenue just south Of 54th

himself, there are other features to the
case that make it somewhat mysterious
Arthur NJ. Laurie, with whom the dead
woman had made her home, will be held
by the police until after the inquest.
There is no evidence connecting him
with the shooting, but he is detained
as a witness.
The body Of the woman was identified

and that he did not know whose body
was found with hers.

of Setting up Game Today.

The warrants sworn out by Score
tary Hanna OF the Y. NJ. O. A. against
John Uroal, Sam Holland and "Trip"
Harrell'were taken mp in Justice Jesse
Young's court this morning. New
warrants had TO be issued today on
the old affidavit. the old warrants hav-
ing disappeared, and an affidavit was
then filed by the defendants alleging
that they did not believe they could
get fair trial in that tribunal, where
upon the cases were transferred by
Justice Young to Justice II. J. Bar
ber's court.
The crowd repaired to the latter s
Office a few doors away and the evil
dence was heard in the case against
Holland, who was charged with oper-
sting gambling room over West
Broadway saloon. There was no evil
dence showing that he had anything
to do with setting up a game aud the
warrant against him, which was for a
felony, was dismissed.
The cases against Croal and Hsrrell
were then taken mp and some Of the
evidence heard. Owing to the fact
that some Of the witnesses were alb
sent, the cases were left open until
Friday morning, when the cases will
be resumed.
An amusing feature Of the trial was
the fact that none Of the prosecuting

except that IL was called an "Indian

what that was and neither did the
