MR. AND MRS. STRAUSS GEL
 EBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING

EBHAyE 0OLOGN WGDOAN0.
 Mir. and Mrs. Jacob Strauss received their friends on yesterday afternoon Tn honor of their golden anniversary.
 Hundreds of people called and paid their respects to this old, and beloved couple. One of the pleasant incidents of the occasion was when the Board Of Trustees of the Temple called in body and congratulations were show cred and some very timely and beauti- ful remarks were made by Messrs. Da- vid Well. Abe We'll Jacques Loeb and Rabbi Messing
 Three beautiful tokens of silver were presented to MT. and Mrs. Strauss hy the members of the congregation. as MT. Strauss was one of It's founders. They were also the recipients of many beautiful presents.
 Of MT. and Mrs. Strauss the Jewish Chronicle says:
 Fifty years ago Mir. Jacob Strauss and Miss Sophie Myer were married in this city. and have lived in our midst ever since. On the 4th of May this old and beloved couple will celebrate their Golden Anniversary. While there will not be any formal festivities and no cards sent out. but all of their friends will rejoice with them in the rare occasion, they being the only Jewish couple who have ever continu- ously lived in this city and celebrated their Golden wedding.
 MT. and Mrs. Strauss were among the pioneer citizens of this city,, and Mir. Strauss is one of the original foun- ders of the present Jewish congrega- ton.
 "Mr. Strauss was born in Alsace, Ger many. in 1925, and in 1851 embarked on sailing vessel for America, which he reached after . tedious trip of over sixty days on the ocean. After remain ing a short while North he came to Montgomery. From the records of Kahl Montgomery we gleap that the congregation was organized in 1852, and Mir. Strauss is the only surviving member who was one of the nineteen who chartered the congregation. MT. and Mrs. Strauss are not only faithful ISraelites, but they are patriotic South

The crime for which Joe Delp. John Evans and Henry Judge will pay the penalty was a particularly atrocions one. August 3, 1903, Delp and Evans called at the home of aged Simon Bu< cher. in the mountains near Winches< ter, enticed the old man into his gars den, and shot him in the back. Leaving him for dead. they returned to ths cabin shot Mrs. Butcher down and set fire to the house.
 r Next morning a passing horseman discovered the ruins and found old man Butcher with enough life in him to make statement. which led to thS arrest of Deip and Evans. Their con. fessions implicated Henry Judge, who. they said, hired them to do the mur. ders, promising payment of s125, Judges motive, it was alleged was to get free access to, cut timber which stood on lands which Butcher was em. ployed to watch.
 Governor Frazier to-day declined to interfere with the sentence of the Su- preme Court. though strong appeals had been made.

M. to 6 P. M.
 After the two formal opening days the Carnegie Library of Montgomery was kept open yesterday during the hours it will observe each week day. from 8 a. m. to p. m., and many per sons drew books yesterday for the first time and carried them to their homes.
 Miss Laura Fillmore. Librarian, said yesterday that 1t was the hope of the Trustees and herself that after the in- stitution had got into good working or- der and had become popuiarized that it would be kept open at night for the benefit of those who are unable to read in the day.
 Miss Julia Toombs Rankin, assistant librarian of the Atlanta Carnegie Li- brary, who came to Montgomery for the opening of the local institution, returned to her home last night. Miss Rankin has taken deep interest in the successful beginning of the Montgom- cry library and she has been of great service to Miss Elmore and her assist ants in cataloguing the books and giv- ing advice on library methods. The Librarian and the Trustees em- phasize the idea that the library Is for all of the people and they express the hope that all persons will avail them. selves of its privileges.

grand jury and trying to make political capital out of 1t.
 Statement By Mayor.
 Mayor Bowlus's feelings are summed up in the following expression on the work of the jury:
 ''The work was farce from beginning to end. The County was put to a great expense and nothing accomplished. To my mind the jury did not want to accom- pIish anything. There were some men of prominent connections in the mob. They are known by the County officials. in- cluding the prosecuting attorney. Some fellows like Tough" O'Brien and others were made scapegoats for the others. I told Chief OBrien to send every man he had to the jail without waiting for the sheriff's request. This was done- when 1t was clearly the sheriffs duty to take the initiative. He was in control and we were simply auxiiiaries.
 Asks for Fire Department. a
 "At e.3o the sheriR asked for false run by the fire department for the pur- post of trying to attract the mob from the Jall. Later he asked that a fire com pany be sent down to. throw water on the mob This would not have done. for 1t is certain the mob would have cut the hose. He never even made a request of me for policemen.
 "It seemed that nearly everybody was filled with the spirit of the mob. Why. a prominent County official said in the Mayors office on the night of the fire that. but for his position. he would in all probability have been down to help In the lynching.
 "On the night of the fire Major T. J. Kirkpatric contended that his force of rnilitlamen was wholly inadequate to cope with the mob He said 1t was the best judgment of competent military men that 1t was always best to have force large enough to overawe a mob, hence he declined to go out until the arrival of re-inforcements.'
 Local feeling is at a high pitch.

Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad. and is valued at from S1.5 to $4 an acre.
 Lynching the Cause.
 The lynching of Richard Dixon has led the negroes to consider this proposition. and it is altogether probable that a large number of them will seek homes in the far North, where they assert race feel- ing is not so strong.
 Feeling the severe criticism of the special grand jury in its report concern ing the lynching and burning of the le- wee. Mayor Charles J. Bowlus and oth- CTS of the Democratic administration came out in the official organ tonight ip four-column wdteup condemning the
