SISTER MARY ALMA
 WAS THE VICTIM
OPENED DOOR OF CONVENT IN ANSWER TO RAP AND CARBoLIC ACID WAS THROWN IN HER FACE.

Wheeling w. Va, April 29-Sister Mary Alma of the Community of St. Joseph who was assaulted by three burly ne groes at the Catholic Orphanage In Elm Grove last September, received the con- tents of a large bottle of earbolie acid. thrown by a tramp this evening, and Is In a serious condition at St. Joseph's con- vent.
 The tramp rapped at the door of the convent and asked for money Sister Alma said she could not give money but if he wanted anything to eat 1t would be given him. He returned a little later and when the sister opened the door dashed the bottle in her face. The att tending physician thinks her sight will be saved but her prostration may re- suit fatally.
 Threatening letters were sent to local newspaper publishers recently, stating that anarchists would avenge the punlsh- ment of the negroes convicted of the Elm Grove outrage unless they were given another trial. and letters of warning, written in a friendly vein were received by the Sister Superior of the convent and the chief of police. The acid thrower was q white man, and from the meagre description Sister Alma was able to furn- sh the police have arrested several sus- poets.

New York. April 29.-Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, contributes to the forthcoming number of The North Amer lean Review an article in which, under the caption of Russia and the Far East he makes a statement of his gov- ernments position. After briefly outlin- ing the negotiations which preceded the outbreak of hostilities, the ambassador says:
 Russia has never ceased to wonder why the idea that she was willing and anxious to make war with Japan, be- came so generally prevalent in the United States. Prejudiced minds or those having nothing beyond a super ficial knowledge of the governments posi- ton, preceding the unexpected and dis honorable attack upon our fleet at Port Arthur, may dispute the statement that Russia hoped for and tried to maintain peace, but I have no hesitation in mak- ing it. If proof of the assertion be de- manded, 1t lies in the simple but un- contradicted answer Russia was not prepared. For the personal representa- tive of the Russian emperor to make an admission, seemingly so humliating to national pride, may appear strange and remarkable to the people of the United States, but it is made with full apprecia- tion of its importance and significance.
 T repeat that Russia was not prepared for war, because she had no reason to

l SELMA CITIZENS
 ARE D|SGUSTED
Have Withdrawn Bid for the
 Presbyterian College
J.F. HOOPER TALKS PLAINLY
Says the Action at Tuscaloosa Was Full of Dirty Politics and Dis grace to the Denomina-
 ton Represented.

Selma. April Especial )-About as indignant d set of citizens as ever at tended any sort of gathering returned this morning from Tuscaloosa, where they had gone to press Selma s claims before the Alabama Presbyterian synod In the matter of securing the location of the synodical college. Claims of unfair deal ing and of political trickery were openly made, and J. F. Hooper, an elder in the Presbyterian church here and also pres ident of the Commercial and Industrial association made the following state ment with regard to the withdrawal of Selma's bid:
 .'selmas bid for the synodlcal college has been withdrawn. It has been with drawn in disgust as the action of the Alabama synod which was full of dirty politics and disgrace to the denomna- tion represented
 Upon a test vote taken yesterday af ternoon on the question of referring the overture of the East Alabama presbytery to a special committee, instead Of the regular standing committed, the Selma adherents won by a vote of 46 to 10. On a hearing before the standing committee on overtures unfair dealings were charg- ed and proved as to secret circulars sent out at variance with statements made by Montgomery representatives and min isters.
 "A denial was made of any such cir culars having been received and l pulled one out of my pocket and confronted them with it. The result was that a unanimous report was made from the standing committee not to postpone.
 Upon the floor of the synod Dr. Stagg, president of the board of trustees, and Dr. McElwaine, president of the college, who are actively against Selma, openly admitted that if a vote was pressed now Selma would have won the victory. They then appealed to the generosity of the synod commissioners not to press the matter at this time, claiming that some of their forces were not present
 Had a vote been taken on the loca- tion of the college Selma would have had a plurality on the first ballot and q ma jority on the second, and would have been accorded the college. As 1t is we are convinced that if hundred thous- and dollars had been Selma's bid that the enmlty of certain parties would not have been assuaged and consequently this city's bid has been withdrawn.
 Tt looks now that the college itself Is doomed if such politics and tactics as was used at Tuscaloosa Is to be feature of it's management from those in high places"

expect war. In her faith that the nego- tiatlons with Japan were being conducted by both parties with the object of reach ing an amicable and honorable adjust ment of their differences, she was not conscious that the outcome was to be other than peaceful
 Count Cassini denies that Russia was actuated by designs to possess Manchu- ria or Korea by force of arms, and says:
 Had Russia desired war, or even had she suspected it, no considerations would have induced her to evacuate Chinese territory and thus to see the opportunity of ending the war quickly"
 Concerning the negotiations between Russia and Japan, Count Cassini ayers that his government in the effort to bring the negotiations to a peaceful con- elusion, did all that dignity would per- init. and offered to give assurances again that the sovereignty of the emperor of China, in Manchuria, would be reeog- nized Having made this marked con- cession, solely in the interest of peace, my government awaited the Japanese answer in the expectation that it would at least be diplomatic in character, and would furnish the basis for the further ance of the negotiations to a satisfactory conclusion Before the Russian minister at Tokio could deliver this reply, the Jap anese answer came, not through the reg ular channels, but as a torpedo attack at midnight And now that war has come, Russia does not doubt the issue"

JANOWSKI WILL

Cambridge Springs. Pa, April 29.-At the conclusion of the fourth round of the International Chessmasters tournament. Lasker and Marshall have the lead with half a point over Janowski. The latter, however, has an adjourned game in hand against Hodges, game which looks all most hopeless for the latter, and which If won by Janowsk will give him the lead. Mieses has a fine fourth place. Napier s defeat at the hands of Lawrence came rather unexpectedly, and Tschigorin dis appointed his admirers by not at least drawing with Showalter. The result fol- lows:
 Janowski and Hodges adjourned ruy Lopez, IS moves.
 Delmar lost to Tischmann in a double ruy Lopez, B moves.

WANT TO LESSEN
 THE SOCIAL EVIL
MRS. KATE w. BARRETT OUT LINES PLANS FOR REGULATING THE CONDUCT OF DISoRDERLY PLAcES-oTHER TOPICS.

Washington, April 29.-The closing ses- sion of the conference of the National Florence Crittenton Mission was held to- night. It's chief feature was a discussion by Mrs. Kate W. Barrett of what can be done to lessen the social evil. Mrs. Bar rett has had many years of work in the field covered by the mission. Briefly, her suggestions were:
 4. Stop the sale of liquor in disorderly houses.
 2.Establish close police supervision and authority over such places.
 3. Require that a record be kept of ev- cry inmate of disorderly house, giving her age, history so far as obtainable, con- dition, etc.
 i. Require that all recruits before being permitted to enter disorderly house shall report to the chief of police
 D. Make it possible for a girl to earn an honest living.
 While not advocating that police super vision and authority should be carried to the extent it is in some foreign cities, where the social evil is a legally recog- nized institution, Mrs. Barrett held that a certain degree of this supervision and authority with its necessary accompani- ment of segregation, must be provided.
 In no other way. she said, can the prob lem be dealt with successfully.
 At the St. Louis exposition MT. Crit tenton will hold series of evangelistic meetings and Mrs. Barrett will be present with a corps of active workers to aid un- fortunate women.
 At the session Dr. Tabor Johnson and Dr. Ada Thomas discussed the opportu- nifty of the Christian physician to aid un- fortunate girls.
 The delegates visited Mt. Vernon and Arlington in the afternoon and also at tended a reception given to them by MT. Crittenton in his Alexandria home.

intended for Home Consumption.

London, April 29.-The daily papers com- menting upon Russia's repudiation Of mediation, display the customary anti Russian bias and consider Russia's off, cial note as solely intended for home consumption, as none of the powers would be likely to intervene unless pre- viously assured that mediation would be welcome. They also hint that Russia may have cause to regret that she closed the door prematurely on the possibility of friendly intervention, and regard the note as dispelling all hope of an early termination of hostilities.
 The Daily Telegraph says:
 .The note breathes an uncompromising determination to fight while there is a rouble in the treasury, but no other course would be regarded worthy of a great world power"
 No further news of any kind has been received regarding the reported Russian reverse on the Yalu.
 The Daily Telegraph's Sin Min Ting correspondent, cabling under date of April 2S, says he regarded a general ris- ing of Manchu brigands fired and aided by Manchu officials, as probable in the event of a Japanese land success.

KILLS HIS WIFE AND THEN HIMSELF Huntsville Man Commits Terri ble Double Tragedy USED RAZOR AND PISTOL Shot Wife In the Back as She Was Leaning Over Bed Putting
 Her Child to
 Sleep.
USED RAZOR AND PISTOL

Huntsville, April 29.-(special)-As the woman was in the act of laying her baby in bed at midnight Fleming Froman of Dallas mills shot his wife, followed her as she ran into the yard, cut her throat and then inflicted fatal wounds upon himself
 The tragedy occurred at the woman's home, No. 70i Halsey avenue. Froam had not lived at home recently and he was known to be very jealous of his wife. He went to see her tonight and began violently abusing her. She told him to leave, that she was going to bed, and as she leaned over the bod with her six months-old child in her arms, Froman shot her twice in the back. The woman dropped the baby and ran screaming into the front yard, where she fell in a faint. Froman cut her throat and then his own.
 Neighbors heard the shots and rushed to the place, Froman meeting them at the gate. He stood there with his throat horribly gashed and told what he had done; then going back to the body of his wife he cut his throat again and fell dead beside her. A son of the couple was in the room with them, but fled at the first shot and saw no more of the trag- edy Both Froman and his wife were employed by the Dallas cotton mills.
