THE NAVAL STATION h
Eastern and Western Jealousies De.
feat It. sf

Special to The Journal
Washington, Feb. 2e.-rThe senate COM
m1ttee! on naval affairs has refused to
make provision in the naval appropriation
bill for naval training station on the
Great Lakes owing to the opposition Of
the Ohio. Pennsylvania and New York
delegations who want the station located
on Lake Erie. The house refuses to make
any provision for it and an effort was
made to have the senate committee amend
house bill by making an appropriation and
leaving selection of the site to the secre-
tary of the navy. Chairman Foss of the
house naval committee thought by this
means that he could have the station 10
Gated at Waukegan, ILL.,, which is in his
district, but the Lake Erie contingent was
strong enough to defeat this move "A
fight may be made to provide for a
station when the bill is considered in the
senate, but 1t is probable that the pro.
posed legislation is dead for this con-
gress. -.

 Most of the defendants came to Mont gomery Sunday evening They spent all of yesterday in the court room and will return to their homes this morning.
 Fletcher Turner denies absolutely that a negro wowman. Sarah Oliver, was brutally beaten to death at his place last winter. Yesterday he wrote letters to newspapers whica have published the statement demanding that 1t be corrected.
 Juries Sworn In.
 When the count convened at F o'clock L. J.. Bryan, United States Marshal, be- gan calling the names of the talesmen to form petit juries to hear the evidence in the peonage cases.
 Quite a crowd of spectators was in the court room. Pace. Fletcher Turner and his son. Allen Turner, the three Cosbys and other defendants sat together on a bench well up in front. The defending lawyers interested in the cases had seats at the bar. They are: T. l.. Bulger J. G. Sorrell and w. M. Lackey of Dade- vile; D. H. Riddle of Goodwater and w w. Pearson of Montgomery. It was an nounced that Gen. George P Harrison oi Opelika would probably assist in the de- fense of the Turner's, father and son.

 MT Pearson. one of the counsel of Face' addressing the court, said an agreeIlen l, had been reached by which Pace would demur to the eleven peonage indictments and enter a formal plea of guilty 1T the demurrers were overruied, and thereupoh
 take a writ of error in one case to the Court of Appeals, making supersedeas bond pending hearing.
 The demurrers were not produced, Du' 1t was understood that they would raise the question that there could be no peon- age in the acts charged unless the acts were authorized by law or done in pur- suance of a general custom. In other words. Pace was willing to plead that he committed the acts charged by the in- dictments but claimed the acts were moi yiolative of the statutes of the United States.
 There was considerable discussion be- tween counsel of the legal aspect of the case and Judge Jones announced that If tbe contention of defendants counsel was correct an indictment that failed to charge the prevalence or custom of peonage was fatally defective.
 Judge Jones also reiterated the opinion recently expressed to the grand jury that
 Congress did not intend that there should be no punishment for peonage unless there was great deal of 1t. He would not have the defendant trapped. he said, by pleading guilty under a misapprehen- sion that if the case was affirmed on demurrer to these indictments by the higher court, that counsel could still raise the question that it was necessary to prove the prevalence of eustomi as

the case would then be out of the power of the lower court to modify charges.
 As to Agreement.
 It was stated by the District Attorney that the Government had agreed if Pace was pleaded guilty under the arrange ment, he would ask for cumulative sent ences on the several indictments which would be five years in each case but would practically amount to but one sent ence. This agreement was accepted by the Government in view of Faces phys isal condition.
 Upon a suggestion by Faces counsel that the agreement you'd not be adhered to the District Attorney gave notice that if the cases were tried by jury the Gov ernment would not agree to cumulative sentences but would insist on the severest punishment.
 The lawyers were given further time to confer. the court taking a recess.
 At 5:45 o'clock the court reconvened and Faces lawyers announced that Pace would not enter a plea of guilty hut would ask that the cases be set for trial
 This announcement necessitated a change in the dates already agreed upon

Ten Tallapoosa and coosa County r Farmers Before the Bar-Pace e AdmitssHe is Guilty of
 
 Charge Which is Y t+ ~&
 Not Crime.

r Ten white men of Coosa and Taliapoosa Counties charged with peonage and kim nred offenses appeared before the bar of the United States District Court yester- day and their cases were set for trial beginning next Tuesday.
 : The cases were not set for trial until half a dozen lawyers had made a deter mined legal fight for a continuance to the next term of the court The argument of the lawyers was met by District Att torney Warren s. Reese with statements that the government was holding large humber of witnesses. negroes, here at great expense and that if the cases were continued such continuance would amount Do dismissal as these witnesses were cas- ly influenced.
 Judge Thomas c. Jones, presiding over the court, in denying the application for continuance of all of the cases made the sgnificant statement that witnesses had elready been intimidated and that speedy trials were deemed necessary by the gov brnment.
 Pace Wanted to Plead.
 A sensational turn was given the case when lawyers for J. w Pace, who is re- garded as the chief defendant. desired fo demur to the eleven indictments charg- Ing peonage, enter formal plea of guilty and appeal to higher court, Judge Jones elready having passed upon the question which it was stated he would raise. This question was that there could not be such D crime as peonage unless 1t was shown that a system of peonage existed. Pace admits that he Is guilty of the charges made in the indictments but holds that the acts charged are not covered by the Federal statutes.
 The District Attorney, it was announced had agreed to this arrangement with cer- tain reservations, owing to Faces poor physical condition and it was contemplat- ed by the agreement that Pace would make bond pending the appeal of one of fhe cases. However after a eecond con eultation between the lawyers the ar engagement was abandoned and the cases against Pace were set for trial next week.
 Pace is one of the best known, citizens pf TallapooA& Bounty. He is the hard labor contrad1nk for the county and has eerved the county as sheriff. He con- ducts large farm fourteen miles north of Dadeville and has a large and com fortable home, where, it Is said he dis penses lavish hospitality.
 Date of the Trials.
 After considering the matter all .of-the hfternoon, accompanied by much legal argument, the cases were finally set for trial as follows:

In Memory.

Last Monday morning at Z
O'Clock Mrs. E. L. Dickey sur
rendered her spirit to the God
who gave it, and, as we term it,
died. Thursday we laid her body
away in the cemetery of Pleasant
Grove, of which Baptist church
she had been a member for many
years, there to be until the resur-
rection morn. 1t was sown in cor
ruption, twill be raised in incor-
ruption. She leaves an aged hus-
hand and nine children to mourn
her loss. As Christian she lived
faithful to God; as a wife, she
lived dear to her husband; as a
mother she lived very devoted,
and loved her children to the
full extent of mothers love; and
as an aunt she was almost like a
mother. She was always ready
to sacrifice for the good and pleas
ure of those whom she loved, but
now her earthly cares are over,
her Heavenly joys begun. We
loved her SO much that we grieye
that God has taken her, but He
knew what was best else He
wouldn't have done it. We can't
bring her back, but we can go to
her.
