WILL REMOVE POSTS
In the Hall of the savannah Ath-
Ietic Club.

Considerable complaint has been
made about the number of heavy
wooden posts in the hall of the Sa-
vannah Athletic Club. and as a result
the officials of the club had several
architects look over the hall yesterday
with view of removing some of
them.
After examining the construction of
the roof and the rafters it was the
general opinion that every other post
can be removed with perfect safety.
This will be done at once, and pa
irons of the next bout will not have
the trouble of doging around posts to
see the performers in the ring.

Against The Law to Kill BuIIbats

society, Of North Carolina, 7. Gilbert
Pearson, has issued the following
statement. According to recent act
of the Legislature, generally known as
the Aubobon bill, the song and insect
eating birds of the State, together
with their nests, are now protected
from destruction by the law. One of
the most valuable birds in North
Carolina is the night hawk, usually
known as the "bullbat. This bird
feeds exclusively upon insects, caring
large quantities of flies, gnats and
grasshoppers, which are SO trouble
some to man, but perhaps he renders
US no greater service than by eating
mosquitoes. Since it is now known
that the malady known as malaria is
carried by mosquitoes and transmitted
by their bite there certainly is strong
reason why the bullbat should be ac-
corded the protection which he so
readily deserves. It has long been the
custom in, many sections Of North
Carolina to shoot these birds in great
numbers in the late summer after
moons. Numerous cases have been re-
ported to me and I have seen the same
with my own eyes, where these birds
were shot down by the dozen merely
for the practice of shooting and the
sport of seeing them fall. Some sport
ers do not even go to pick them up,
and I have seen wounded bullbats lg-
ing about on the ground late the next
day after they were shot. The .Audo-
bon society of North Carolina appeals
to the good people of the State to use
their influence in every way possible
in behalf of the bullbat, and to see to
it that the dreadful suferings caused
by the thoughtless slaughter of these
birds in the past shall not be reported
in the State this summer.

Two Dead and Six Wounded.

Atlanta, July 26.-A Constitution
special from Camack, Ga, says: Two
killed and six wounded, four of them,
it is believed, fatally, is the result of
a row at negro church here tonight
in which pistols and razors played a
deadly part.
town is terrorized as q res1ls Of the
ARRAY and it is impossible 10 learn
the real cause of trouble.
The shooting started over dispute
of some sort. There was then wild
rush to get from the building AID it
is believed that many of the wounded
were hurt in this way. Women and
children we're trampled under foot by
men, who, with knives and pistols in
their hands we're trying to escape
foes armed in the same manner.
AS yet it is is impossible to learn
the names of those who did the shoot
ing. It seems that nearly every negro
in the building was using either pis-
tol or knife and it may never be
known whose efforts to kill we're efec-
tive.

SOLDIERS GUARDING THE DAN
VILE JAIL.

Danville, Ill.,, July 26.-This city
tonight is under military protection
and there have been no disturbances
since last night. Four companies of
the Seventh infantry arrived this
morning from the State camp at
Springfield They are under the COM
mand of Lieut.. Col. Clasby, who has
doubled the guard about the Jail this
evening. One hundred sentries now
form Gordon around it.
No one is allowed within a block OF
the Jail.
Reports are persistent that a mob is
being arranged for tonight by miners
at Westville, which is five miles from
here.
Two persons were killed in last
nights riots and % wounded.
Sheriff Whitelock says he himself
was the only man who shot into the
mob. When the Jail was attacked the
sheriff said he became alarmed for the
safety of his wife and children and
considered that he was justified in
shooting, although he was careful tc
shoot only in the hands or legs. The
200 soldiers here, it is believed, will
prevent further outbreaks for the
present at least. Half of these will bs
| on duty all the time.

Modern Woodmen at the Worlds
Fair.

st. Louis, July 26.-Modern Wood
men of America and their allied fra
ternities are making big preparations
for the proposed encampment at the
Worlds Fair, st. Louis, in Septem-
Der of next year. The Woodmen num-
Der about 750.000 members in Amer
lea. Gen John Il. Mitchell, comman-
der of the organization, says that
$50, 600 will be at st. Louis during
the week closing Sept. 5, with "Mod-
ern Wcodmen of America Day." The
Foresters, a semi military organiza-
ton allied with the Woodmen, has 80
600 uniformed members, and it is said
that 5000 of these will attend the en-
campmlent. Many of the Forester COM
panies are said to be drilled as well
as any organization in the United
States. The Royal Neighbors of
America, also auxiliary to the Wood
men, has a membership of 140, 600
lady members, and Gen. Mitchell es-
timates that 20, 600 of these will be at
the Worlds Fair during the first
week in September.

The pApAL ELECTION.
Almost all the Cardinals in Rome
Now.
Cordial Reception of Cardinal Gibbons.
Cardinal Pietro as a Compromise
Candidate,

Rome, July 27.-Almost all the Car
dinals of the Conclave have now arriv-
ed. Their time today was mainly occu-
piled with long meeting of the Con-
gregation, which was notable for tie
cordiality with which Cardinal Glib
bons was received. After the meeting
the Cardinals received numerous visits
at their various residences. In we'll
informed circles Cardinal Angelo Di
Pietro, prothonotary of the late Pope,
is being talked of as a compromise
candidate, in the event that Cardinals
Oreglia, Gotti, Rampolla or Serafno
Vannutelli are unable to secure the
necessary votes. Should Di Pietro
be elected Pope he would, it is said,
be the representative of the Rampolla
Gotti faction, and yet would be fairly
acceptable to all Cardinal Michael
Logue, Archbishop of Armagh, who,
with the exception of Cardinal Glib
bons, will be the only English-speak-
ing Cardinal in the Conclave, arrived
today from Irealnd. He said he be-
lieved that the successor to Leo would
be quickly chosen. In his case perhaps
the hope is father to the thought. as
he said he did not look forward with
great degree of pleasure to being shut
up IN the Vatican during the present
hot weather.
Speaking of Cardinal Gibbons, the
Irish Ctardinal paid him glowing
tribute, though like all the prelates
here, he held out no hope that the
American Cardinal had the remotest
chance of election.
Indeed" said Cardinal Logue, "I
think Cardinal Gibbons would be
subject for commiseration if the selec-
tion should devolve upon him, for no
American would care to spend the rest
of his life confined within the pre-
cincts of the Vatican
The Irish Cardinal expressed the
opinion that the question of sending a
note to the Powers protesting against
the treatment Of the Vatican by the
Italian Government should be left to
the next Pope.
Tomorrow Cardinal Logue will pay
an official visit to Cardinal Oreglia
and then formally join the congrega-
tion.
It is now practically certain that all
the Cardinals will be present at the
Conclave except Cardinal Moran,
Archbishop of Sydney, who will not
reach Rome in time, and Cardinal
Celesia, Archbishop of Polermo, who
is too i'll to attend.
A proclamation was posted in the
streets of Rome tonight inviting citi-
zens to attend the annual commemora-
tion Of the death of King Humbert,
which will take the form of a process
sion through the streets to the Pan
theon. Early in the morning of July
20, under the auspices of patriotic and
other societies, the Italians will visit
the tomb of Humbert at the Pantheon
and decorate it with flowers. Com
memorative exercises at the Capitol
will follow. For this event King Vic
tor Emmanuel will return to Rome on
Wednesday. Queen Margherita will
arrive tomorrow. The ecclesiastics.
view the approaching ceremony with
some alarm, believing the Anti -Cleri-
Gals may take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to make counter cemonstra-
tion against the sympathy expressed
all over Italy in connection with the,
death Of the Pope.

The automobile has come to stay,
and will surely and rapidly develop
into one OF the most important factors
in transportation. They are being
manufactured in this country by the
thousand, and there are more Of them
in Europe than in the United States.
The British Government, it is an
nounced, will make large use of them
in Africa. 1t is now building in the
Congo State a road 80 miles long,
which is to be 27 feet wide on the
plains and Is feet in the mountainous
regions, and on which automobiles
carrying two tons and running 20
miles day will be employed. The
highway will serve the purposes of a
railroad and will cost far less. The
same system, of course, would serve
tne needs of many districts in the
Southern States-but good roads must
come first.

Roanoke, Va, July 27.-Serious
trouble is threatened between the
white and blacks near Blue Ridge.
Several nights ago a colored woman
was whipped by party OF white men
for insulting lady during the absence
of her husband. This angered the ne
groes to such an extent that they have
been arming themselves. Several
blacks came to Roanoke today and
purchased guns and ammunition. A
telephone message tonight says the
whites are armed and considerable ex-
citement exists.

The DEVELOPMENT of Man.

St. Louis, July 26.-Prof. ". J.
MCGEE, chief of the Department of
Anthropology for the Worlds Fair at
st. Louis, is quoted as saying that
the aim of the department will be
to represent human progress from
the darkness of the earliest ages to
the highset enlightenment, from saw
agery to civic organization, from ego
ism to altruism. Special attention
will be devoted to Indian school
work, Americas best effort to ele-
vate the lower races. The method
will be to use living peoples in
their accustomed avocations as object
lessons. Failing these in some cases,
human products will be used to il
lustrate humatu progress.

Norfolk, Va, July 27.-The big
Nagshead Hotel, at the North Caro-

totally destroyed by fire yesterday
afternoon. The hotel had 140 guests
and all were saved, though Mrs. John
Lowe, of Norfolk, wife of the proprie-
tor, died afterward as the result of ex-
citement. The guests lost practically
all their effects, and some even lost
what cash they had on hand, leaving
them destitute.
