DISAPPOINTED CRANKS.

y few in New England seem to b
i jealous Of the cordial good will exist
! ing between President Roosevelt an(
the South, and there are evidences O
regret at the great OvationS given hin
on his recent tour. The Boston Her
aid mourns because he said nothing
about the negro question, and in com
menting on the Presidents Tuskeget
speech says:
His speech there was in the main
admirable, unless his declaration that
the Southern states must settle their
own problems is to be taken as an alb.
negatiOn by him of their responsible
ty to conform to the law of liberty
and order and equal rights established
in the Constitution of the United
States. He has been very careful in
all his Southern speeches to avoid all
burning questions relating to the
equal rights Of all citizens. But we
are not purSuaded that the orator of
the Democratic meeting held in Vjr-
ginia after the Presidents visit to
Richmond, who assumed that Mr..
Roosevelt had been converted to the
doctrine that the white race alone
must rule in the Southern states, had
sufficient warrant for his opinion"
The Springfield, Massachusetts, Re
publican seems to have a case of be-
clOuded vision as well as torpid mind.
1t says:
The President has completed his
tour Of the South, and it may now be
said, as a matter Of record, that in
not n OF his speeches did he speak a
word in support of the maintenance of
the political rights of the colored
race under the Federal COnstitu-
tiOn."
But concerning the cOlOred races
right to participate 10 the politics of
state and nation, he was everywhere
silent. This silence is open to a dis
couraging Interpretation, especially
from the point OF view of those who
were emancipated politically by the
Fifteenth Amendment. 1t is to be
said that the President could scarcely
have wOOed the white South so gallant
ly and f%ervently had be gone into the
political phase of the rae question,
yet the query now arises whether the
renewal Of the enteDt cordial between
the President and his mothers people,
for which there are many reasons FOR
satisfaction, involves Oh his part the
abandonment OF the colOred folk TO
the political helotry to which the
al Of the South has consigned
them"
Mr.. Roosevelt is a far-seeing state
man, and we repeat that he represents
the good judgmentand best thought of
the people north Of Mason and DixOn's
inc. If the South will turn a deaf
Ear to her Hot Spurs and continue to

al Lamar-cOntinue to be true to

OPPOSED
 TO ANNEX Protest Against Judiciary Building at Capitol. BUSINESS MEN HEARD Commission Had Special Meet ing at State House. Committee of Montgomery Commercial Association Made Deep Impression
 on Governor JeIks and
 His Associates.

An argumentative protest against the erection of a separate Judiciary building for the State as decided upon py the Capitol Building Commission in March, was made yesterday at a call ed meeting of the Commission by mem bers of the City Development Commit tee of the Montgomery Commercial and Industrial Association.
 Those who entered the protest were Congressman A. A. Wiley, Joseph Ken- nedy, Frank P. Chaffee, C. A. Lanier, Frank P. Glass. Hardwick Ruth and L L. Gilbert.
 It was the first meeting of the Com mission that Governor Jelks has at- tended since his return from the West. When the judiciary building was de- termined upon, Acting Governor Gun nfngham was in the chair.
 The Governor called the meeting yesterday to be held at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon and promptly at that hour the members gathered in his private of- flee, consisting of the Governor State Auditor T. l.. Sowell, State Treasurer J. Craig Smith, Attorney-General Mas sey Wilson, Director Thomas M. owen of the State Department of Archives and History, and Secretary of State E R. McDavid.
 Committee Presents Protest.
 A few minutes after the meeting was called to order the committee already named appeared and was given voice. The gentlemen all spoke except Mir. Kennedy and all were unanimous in the opinion that the separate building for the Supreme Court and library is an unwise move. They urged that in this view they felt they were repre- senting not only the Commercial and Industrial Association of Montgomery, but a majority of all commercial and industrial organizations throughout the State as we'll as the masses of the people.
 Instead of putting some $6o,ooo or $65. 900 into the Judiciary building or a detached structure of any sort. Messrs. Kennedy. Chaffee, Lanier, Glass, Ruth and Gilbert and Congressman Wiley agreed that the Commission would be acting more within the bounds of ar chitectural requirements by building extensions of the two wings of the present Capitol. They pointed to the successful extension of the National Capitol at Washington. They insisted that the additions could be made with out impairing the architectural beauty of the Capitol and urged that care be taken by the architects in devising in- terior or exterior improvements so

ATTEMPT THwARTED.
Prisoners Failed to Et ape from We
 tumpka Jail.

tumpka Jail.
 Wetumpka, April 11.-(Special.) )-A bold attempt was made by some of the prisoners last evening to escape from the Elmore jail, and but for the alert ness of Arthur Gum, a negro, several prisoners would have escaped.
 It seems that plan had been formu- lated to overpower the jailor when he went into the jail to deliver some soups that Harry Newton had ordered and to place in the cages for the night the prisoners that were given the lib- erty of the corodors during the day. When the jailer went into the Jail and approached Newton to deliver the soups Newton exclaimed, Now is the time boys; grab him." at the same time seizing Arthur Gum, a negro prisoner, charged with murder, came to New tons assistance and the three fought and scuffled until they reached the steel door leading from the jail corridors to the front of the building.
 Arthur Gum in some way learned of the would-be attempt and notified the Sheriff, w. O. Robbins. who, with his son, Jim Robbins, went to the jail with the jailor. MT. Robbins was secreted in the hallway just beyond the door leading from the jail.
 When the men in the scuffie got op- posite the door the negro prisoner saw MT. Robbins and turned loose the jailor and retreated to his cell. Newton be- ing so intent upon making his escape, did not notice the presence of the sheriff, but continued making an eff fort to overpower the jailor. Sheriff Robbins came to the rescue of the ne- gro jailer. The two prisoners were stripped and searched. Upon Newton was found two ten n-dollar bills and a one-dollar bill secreted in the waist band of his trousers, also a letter writ ten. stamped and addressed to a promi- nent attorney to meet him tomorrow (Tuesday) night" at Judklns Ferry with a 3S Winchester rifle and two boxes of cartridges; also to bring him 8 hat, stating the kind wanted. A gag made of a part of a blanket was also found upon him. Inside one of the cells was a cat with a number of strips of blanket fastened to it as if prepared for binding some one.
 Harry Newton Is the ex-convict who on the night of Oct. IS, 1903, in a cabin a few miles from town brained with an ax Sam Lacy. Newton was tried be- fore the late Judge Winter in January, 1904, and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. An appeal to the Supreme Court was taken and before the case came up for a hearing the Lusk bill and the pony circuit" bill were de- clared unconstitutional good deal of his time in the past eighteen months was spent in the Montgomery jail.

EXHIBIT OF MANUFACTURES.
Movement by Commercial AssOciatIO
 Attracting Attention.

The recent movement to establish at the rooms of the Commercial and In- dustrial Association a comprehensive and permanent exhibit of whatever Is manufactured in Montgomery is att tractlng most favorable comment from the manufacturing interests
 The Association has at all times striven to increase the number of fac tories in Montgomery. to encourage in- terest therein. and patronage thereof. The present proposition is right in line with its past effort and no doubt will subserve a practical good in giving in- stant evidence to strangers of Mont gomery's productive capacity.
 The city of Tacoma. Wash, a year ago started such a movement in con- nection with it's Manufacturing Aid Association. It has now grown to such proportions that three story building is required for the exhibits prepared and a salesman is kept constantly em- ployed therein taking orders for goods.
 It Is hoped that the movement in Montgomery may grow to a point where 1t may require similar ample provision.

TO MANDAMUS JELKS
PETITION FILED WITH MoNTGos-
 ERY CIVIL COURT.
Lumber Company Seeks to Secure Pate ents for Lands-Negro Pleads Guilty and Goes Up
 for Life.

A petition for a writ of mandamus to be directed to W. D. JeIks, as Gov ernor of Alabama, was filed yesterday with Judge A. D. Sayre of the civil division of the City Court of Mont gomery by attorneys representing the Southern States Lumber Company, corporation organized under the laws of Florida.
 The lumber company seeks to re- quire Governor Je1lks to show why he does not grant the Florida company patents to i47,244 acres of land in Baldwin and other counties of South Alabama, the Governor having advised the lumber company that 1t must ask relief of the Legislature of Alabama. The lumber company contends that It should have relief at the hands of Gov. ernor Jelks under the terms of an act passed by the Legislature of 1879.
 Attorney General Massey Wilson yesterday accepted service in behalf of Governor Jelks and the petition will be argued before Judge Sayre on April 26.
 The Southern States Lumber Com- pany. in its petition, sets forth that the State of Alabama in 1879 granted to the Perdido Bay Lumber Company ap- proximately 147,244 acres of land in South Alabama and that under an act entitled ''an act for the relief Of the Perdido Bay Lumber Company" ap- proved February 12. 1879, by Governor Lindsey. the Governor was Instructed to issue the patents.
 After considerable correspondence concerning the matter, both with Gov ernor Jelks and Acting Governor Cum ningham, the petition shows that Gov ernor Jelks finally advised the South ern States Company that 1t must look to the next Legislature for renewal of the instructions to the Governor which, that body gave in 1879.
 The lumber company was not satis- fled with this answer hence it's peti- ton for a writ of mandamus.
