Atlanta, Aug. 13.-The Prison Com
mission still has under consideration
the case of the whipping of Mamie De-
Girls by Assistant Superintendent AL
lagood of the state prison farm.
The commission was unable to COM
plete its investigation to-day, but it is
expected a conclusion and finding will
be reached tomorrow. The commits
sion has gone extensively into the evil
dence but it's time was so much taken
up to-day with outside matters it was
unable to get through.
A telegram was received to-day stat
ing that the Americas Daily Press
would forward to Gov. Terrell at once
a numerously signed petition from the
people of Americas. asking the pardon
of the DeCris woman.
Mrs. Marie Louise Myrick of Ameri-
Gus gave out an interview to-day, in
which she declared that this is not
the first case of the whipping of Il
white woman in the state penitentiary.
and she gives as her authority War
den Jake Moore.
Mrs. Myrick called on the Prison
Commission yesterday for the purpose
of protesting against such outrages as
this. Look here" she said, ''as she
entered the room, II want to protest
against any such brutal abuse as was
administered to Mamie DeCris at the
prison farm. 1t is wrong, and'-War-

Tax on Turpentine DistiIIers Acts
Like other Licenses.

Like other Licenses.
DeLand, Fla, Aug. 1S.-At the regu-
lar term of the Criminal Court for
this county yesterday a negro, Jesse
Fitzpatrick, was convicted of an as
sault with intent to ravish a white
woman near Daytona.
He stopped woman who was riding
on a wheel near town, and attempted
to take her to the bushes, but her
screams brought assistance and he ran.
The case was clearly proven, and the
jury were out only long enough to
write their verdict. The judge gave
the prisoner the limit of the law, which
is twenty years in the pen.
At this term a case was made up
regarding the Interpretation of the law
Just passed taxing the turpentine dis
tillers The tax collector claimed that
they must pay the full $50 for the year
from the time the act became opera
tive, Aug 4, but the operators claimed
that the license must run like 'other
licenses, from the date of the law un-
til the first of October, and then by
the year. The judge ruled for the OPP
orators, deciding that the tax ran as
other likeness, and discharged the par
ties.
Edward Mcdonald plead guilty to
grand larceny, and was sent to the
pen for five years. Arthur Williams
and Julius Rhodes were convicted of
petit larceny and were sent to the road
gang for three months. Richmond
Zow was convicted of bigamy and sent
to the pen for one year.

cry had been raised by the DeCris
case.
He told me-" continued Mrs. Ny
rick, that Mamie DeCris was not the
first white woman to be dashed at the
state farm; that other women had re-
ceived much worse punishment and
that the DeCris woman did not get
what she deserved. Jake Moore said
that other white women had been
whipped, and the people did not raise
such howl, and he was I'M
able to understand why 80 much
noise had been made about this af-
fair, when Allagood and DR.. Adams
were doing only their duty.
Il told Jake Moore and others that
l had never heard of any other woman
having been so cruelty treated and the
people knew nothing of it," He said
it had been printed, but if it was l
never saw it, and l read the newspa-
pers very closely. However, it must
be so. or the warden of the peniten-
tiary would not admit it so quickly
Continuing, she said: IT believe that
Gov. Terrell will do the best he can
under the circumstances, but it is a
pity that the Legislature didn't have
an opportunity to Investigate this
outrage, that is, of course, if it cared
to, and it is pretending it did.
Mamie DeCris is half crazy and
| doubtless does not know what she is
| doing half of the time. But the brutal
flashing that was administered to her
in the presence of the farm physician
and Allagood is an outrage that calls
for prompt and decisive action by the
| commission, but it looks very much
as if an effort will be made to quiet
the affair as others have been sup
pressed from the public"

Washington, Aug. 13.-The Inter-
national Typographical Union began
it's session to-day with a sharp con-
troversy over the motion to distribute
a pamphlet prepared by the Newspa-
per Publishers Association in criti-
cism of unions conduct of the
printers strike at Seattle and Spo-
kane Wash.
Objection was made to the circula-
ton of the pamphlet on the ground
that it did not bear the union label,
but President Lynch made an earnest
appeal for it's acceptance and his re-
quest was granted by a decided vote.
The convention then listened to an
address by Frederick Driscoll of the
Publishers Association relative to the
strikes in the state of Washington.
He read a formal statement, which
was a sharp criticism of the union
and of President Lynch. Mr.. Driscoll
characterized the strikes at Spokane
and Seattle as ''ineXcusable," contend
ing that the reasons put forth to JUS
tify them are untenable.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, spoke of
the organization of employers, and said
that it is welcomed as tending to pro-
mote Cancellation and harmony with
the least possible amount of disturb
ance yet, he contended that there is
an element in those organizations which
fails utterly to understand the purposes
of unionism, and which is therefore
calculated to injuriously affect the best
interests of all. "Parryism and it's par
asite," he said, referring to the recent
speech of d. NJ. Parry of Indianapolis,

MARKET FEATURE
READING COMMON.

New York, Aug. 13..The noteworthy
feature of to-day's stock market during
the early session. in the course of
which prices advanced very generally,
was the smart gain in Reading com
mon. That stock jumped almost 5
points in the first hour. and more than
100, 900 shares changed hands up to 1880
o'clock
There has been a fairly large short
interest in Reading for some weeks, and
to-day the shorts rushed frantically TO
cover. Various rumors were afloat as
to the cause of the movement in the
stock, but none was Official hardly
more than plausible.
Reading is controlled by Lake Shore
and Baltimore and Ohio, which are
simply other names for New York Cen
trail and Pennsylvania. 1t is reported
that Reading may be taken over by the
Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western;
that the road had decided to guarantee
dividends on the common stock, and
retire the second preferred. AS yet
nothing of an official character has de-
veloped. Reading lost some of its gain
by noon, but in common with the bal
ance of the list held firm.
Following a brief lull in the early aft
ernoon the market once more became
active under Readings lead. The stock
touched a higher price than it reached
in the morning, and many other issues
went up in sympathy.
The Reading move was accompanied
! by rumors of a Gould-P Pennsylvania
reconciliation" but this hardly was
borne out by the course of Western
Union, stock that should be mate
rally benefited by any such develop
ment.
Reading fell off in the final trading
as did other active issues, and the clos
| ing was rather dull with a somewhat
| irregular tone.

Rome, Aug. 13.-Vesuvius is again

there is no reason to fear a serious
