IS WILLING TO HANG
IN CALVIN'S STEAD.
VIII Pollard Would Gladly Change
Places With Murderer.

~ "Oulu UAaulE
Places with Murderer.
Will Pollard, the negro burglar who
made such a vicious assault on Depu-
ties Sweeny and Fogarty and who Is
now under indictment for assault with
intent to murder, wants to change
places with Calvin and hang for the
murder this morning. So great is the
burglars desire to avoid serving time
in the penitentiary that he deems
any thing preferable to it. OF course
no such arrangement can be made. and
Calvin must hang for his crime.
The trial of Pollard for assault with
intent TO murder will be held on Tues
day morning. The desperate negro
will be handcuffed at the Jail and in
the custody of deputy sheriff, driven
IN the patrol wagon to the Court
Rouse. He will then be taken to the
sheriff's office and handcuffed to
seat until his case is called.
1t is here that the trouble is ex-
pected. Under the law, a prisoner can
not be brought into the court room
manacled. Pollard's dread of the peni-
Tertiary and his desperate character,
makes 1t probable that he will attempt
ana escape during his trial. It has
been stated by an attorney that the
judge may, in his discretion, waive
the rule requiring prisoners to come
INTO the court room unshackled, and
Judge Cam may decide to take this
course
Pollard's idea is to so struggle for
his freedom that the officers will be
compelled to shoot him in self-defense.
1T was this idea which he had in mind
during his fight on Sunday, and even
when Chief Deputy Sweeny had cover
ed him with a revolver and threaten
ed to Kill him, Pollard refused to give
up the fight and yelled to the officer
to shoot

RECOGNIZED CLAIM
FOR WIFE'S SERVICES.
w. c. T. 4. Partially Adjusts TrOu-
bIes with MIR. McCOnica.

bIes With MIR. Mcconnell.
A discussion of the difficulties which
have arisen between the w. c. T. L.
and Rev Mr.. McConica, superintend-
ent of the home, and which resulted
in a severance of relations, was had
at the meeting of the union yesterday.
These difficulties were partially settled
at the meeting.
The persons directly concerned were
disnclined to discuss the meeting at
any length, stating that they preferred
to let the matter drop and do not
wish it continually paraded before the
public. Mrs. Richard Webb, president
of the w. c. 7. u, in speaking of the
matter said:
The claim made by Mr. McConica
to the effect that his wife's services
should be recognized and account TAX
en- of them was considered and this
claim adjusted. This action practical
ly closes the matter as that claim was
the principal one advanced. Further
than this l have no statement to make
concerning the meeting, save that Mr..
Mcconnell read to us several offers of
positions in other cities that have been
rendered him"
When asked if the adjusting of the
claim meant that Mr.. McConica would
remain here as superintendent of the
home, Mrs. Webb stated that it did
not He will leave us in September"
she said. He came to us on Sept. I.
1902. and September this year will
close his second years service"
When asked what arrangements
had been made for a successor to the
superintendent, Mrs. Webb stated that
nothing had been done in this regard
as yet. 1t is held that there is still
plenty of time to arrange these details
and Mr.. Mcconnell will remain in full
charge of the work until Sept. /.

DOUBLE PENSIONS AND
Do AWAY WITH LICENSES
Says Mayor in Speaking of COnfed-
crate Veterans Action.


crate Veterans Action.
Mayor Myers heartily commends the
action of the Confederate veterans in
condemning the abuse now in practice
of the use of Confederate veterans
licenses.
The Mayor thinks the action by the
veterans will make every one even
more willing to grant privileges to the
veterans, who are entitled to them, and
who do not abuse them.
I'VE have had a great deal of trou-
Bile because of some of the licenses, -
said the Mayor. For my part l be-
lieve it would be better to double the
pensions and do away with the free
licenses altogether. 1 believe it would
he cheaper in the end, and would be
better for the veterans, too"
Any effort to stop the abuses would
have to go through the Legislature, the
Mayor said, as it is from the state
the licenses are secured.

AUTO DID VERY CLEVER
STUNTS ON SIDEWALK

The driver of an automobile, in order
to avoid running into a wagon at Bull
and Perry streets. ran on the side
walk for a short distance and then
darted out between two awning poles
without being injured yesterday after
noon. For time it looked as though
the driver had lost all control of his
machine, but if so. he regained it at
the critical moment, and made a clever
turn between the posts.

Washington, April s.-A favorable
report on the aepburn-Dolliver bill,
granting the State police power over
original packages of liquor shipped
within their borders as interstate COM
merce, was fled in the, house today by
Representative Clayton of Alabama.
The report says the bill is not pro-

is to allow each State to carry out its
own domestic or internal policy in re-
gard to the control of Intoxicating
beverages within the boundaries of
the State. = ~ 80 - = "a - 'zsstss
The sole effect will be to permit the
State, if it,so wills, to circumscribe
the sale of intoxicating beverages
within its boundaries to the full ex-
tent that it may desire to restrain
such traffic or to regulate the sale of
the same through the medium of its
own laws, including local option, high
license laws, or dispensary laws
