This is one of the largest fleets that
ever went to sea, and one of the most
powerful. 1t is commanded by three
rear admrals, Rojestvensky, Falker-

amount of money has been expended
in it's construction, armament and

REV ARDS FOR
NNCHERS
Governor Offers Rewards
for Convictions.
TAKES OTHER STEPS
Trouble Ahead for the Par
Elephants.
Three Lynchinss In walker, Marengo,
and Pickens Counties Moves
Governor to Unusual Efforts
for Their Arrest.

The participants In the Pickens
Marengo and Walker County lynchings
in all probability have troubles ahead.
Governor Cunningham is taking ex
traordinary measures for the arrest
and conviction Of the lynchers.
For the conviction of the participants
In the three lynchings the Governor
Yesterday offered rewards aggregat-
Ing $1,000. In addition to this, the
Governor has taken other steps for the
arrest and punishment of the lynch
ers. steps which he does not deem it
wise to make public. The sudden out
break of lynchings has moved the Gov
ernor to unusual measures to punish
those who had q hand in the lawless
ness.
On returning to the Capitol yesterday
he Immediately took up the lynching
AFFAIRS which have been outlined in
the State press. The last of these af-
fairs occurred Saturday in Walker
county, where a negro was stoned and
cut to death by a mob. Hardly a week
previous a negro had been taken from
an insecure calaboose by a mob IN
Marengo County and shot to death. A
short while previous to that, a negro
mad been killed by mob In Pickens
County because he had spoken insult
negro had also been lynched In
Dallas County. but the sheriff of that
county had acted promptly and had the
investigation well in hand. Just now
this investigation bids fair to result in
the punishment OF the guilty parties.
These lynchfngs. coming one upon
the heels of the other gave the Gov
ernor considerable concern. He has
given out no public statement of his
Intentions and he has granted no in
terviews on the unfortunate happen
inss. 1t is known. however, that he
has taken unsual steps besides the
onering OF a large reward for the ar
rest of the lynchers in the Marengo
the Pickens, and the Walker County
cases.
Three sets of rewards were offered
yesterday by the Governor. He offered
nrst reward of $3.50 for the first con
victfon of one of the lynchers of Will
Roberts in Pickens County For the
next two convictions, he offered a re
ward OF $780, Roberts was lynchc d
near Gordo. He approached two highly
| respectable white ladies In an insultins

Similar rewards were offered for the
convictions OF the lynchers of Rufus

entered the room occupied by Mr. and

fessed he was the guilty party III

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 1, 1904
Attempt to Kill a Girl.

After trying three times yesterday to
kill girl who had refused to marry him,
James Johnson, a Norwegian boarding
housekeeper of New York, was shot in
the left thigh in a battle with the police,
and is now in the prison ward of Belle
vue Hospital in a serious condition.
The girl whom he attempted to kill was
Annie Boiland, who was employed by
him as a chambermaid. He, also tried
to kill her three months ago, and for the
same reason. Yesterday johnson again
asked her to marry him, and when
she refused he tried TO force her to swal-
low carbolic acid. Her face was burned,
but she got away from him and went on
with her work. Atnoon he made another
appeal, and receiving the same answer
pointed revolver at her. She took the
weapon away from him and still kept at
work. Later he followed her to an upper
room, pushed the door open suddenly and
fired at her twice without hitting her.
This time she ran out of the house and
notified the police. Johnson took refuge
in a coal bin under the sidewalk in front
of his house and shot through the grating
at the officers, who returned the fire,
finally wounding him. He was then
placed under arrest.
