conferred That a Large Number
OF Convicts Are Armed and That
More Trouble May Follow.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. pa des-
perate attempt TO escape from the
state penitentiary was made by four
%convicts, resulting in a terrific battle
with weapons and nitroglycerin at the
prison gate, a running fight through
the streets of Jefferson City and the
final capture of the four ~convicts, two
of whom were shot and one of whom
died from his wounds. Two prison
officers were shot dead and a third
wounded. The dead are: John Clay,
~gatekeeper. e. Allison, officer of the
commissary department; Hiram Blake,
convict. The wounded are: r. E. Lee,
deputy warden, seriously; Harry
Vaughn, convict, st. Louis, slightly.
The prison authorities are inclined
to believe that the mutiny had been
arranged for a much larger scale and
that 1t was to have been a general up
rising, but for some reason the plans
did not fully carry out. This leads to
general uneasiness within the prison,
as it is feared that a large number of
the convicts are secretly armed with
weapons and explosives and more trou-
BILE may follow when the present ex-
element has died down. 1t is known
for a long time the prison officers
nave feared an outbreak, although the
reason for this fear could not be cen
upon any definite occurrence or
to any set of prisoners.

MURDER MYSTERY
STILL uNsoLVED

Miami, July 6.-For over a week the
coroner's jury has investigated the
Davis murder case, but 20 far as the
public is concerned, it remains a mys.
terry. Never has there been a eoro-
ner's jury impaneled tnat has done
more faithful and painstaking work
than this one. 1t was stated last night
after adjournment that during the day
three new witnesses had been ex-
amined, and that the nature of the
testimony was such that 1t is probable
that the guilty party or parties will be
apprehended. The matter Is in the
hands OF Sheriff FFOhock, who is max
ing most thorough Investigation o..
the new testimony and when this Is
completed Coroner Heyser viii call
the jury together to render their decis'
ion. 1t is earnestly hoped that the
guilty parry or parties may be cap
tured. As the days go by the crime
seems more awful and diabolical, and
when the guilty one or ones are cap
tured, swift and sure judgment should
be melted out; no appeal for mercy
should be needed.

WALLAcE's STRANGE IDEA
OF HIS RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.

The following concise comment on
the resignation of Chief Engineer Wal
lace, from the Montgomery Journal, is
about as clear a statement of the case
as has yet appeared:
We judge from the comments OF
the resignation of Engineer Wallace
after he had once accepted a job
under the government he no longel
had any personal rights or liberties
He was a slave TO the government
He had no right TO tender his resigna
ton. In doing so he betrayed a
great trust" and lightly treated Z
great honor that had Oeen bestowed
upon him.
We judge, from the way the. news
papers have raved az him, that Wa,
lace is a great scoundreL We doubt
from his explanation of his resigna
ton, whether Wallace realizes what
a bad man he is. He seems really &c
think he had a right to tender his
resignation to the president. He, how
ever offered to stay with The govern
ment till the government could gei
some one to take his place. even if il
was six or eight months Of. Secre
tary Taft seems 10 have thought thai
Wallace had so Outrageously insulteC
him by resigning and showed himself
so unfit for public trust that he de
clined to have him further in the gov
eminent employ.
The only mistake made ~ wallact
is that he thought he had right e
resign after accepting a place Will
the government. No man ever re
signs a government position. with z
thirty thousand dollar salary attach
ment.
Some people have a queer idea o.
their rights and privileges anyhow.
Wallace seems 10 be one of them.

FRIDAY, JULY Z, 1905.

bassador Choate and Secretary of War
Taft. Any of these eminent men would
make an acceptable secretary of state.
IL is generally believed that President
Roosevelt desires to keep Judge Taft
as secretary of war, owing to the i'm
portant problems concerning the Pan
ANA canal and the Philippines, with
which the present secretary of war is
more competent to deal than anyone
else.
Ambassador Choate would be a de
ci6ed probability, were Mr.. Root elm
mated either through preference to
remain in the practice of law in New
York or any other cause That Mr..
Root is the man best equipped to sue
coed Secretary Hay is generally rec
ognized by everybody. He is in the
prime of life and is unquestionably
endowed with qualities eminently fit
ting him for the position. Moreover,
Mr.. Root is in close touch with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, aud would be able to
represent the presidents views better
than any other
The eminent career of Mr.. Hay in
the secretaryship of state will make
iC exceedingly difficult for his success
sor to successfully fill his shoes, and
renders TIE presence of a truly able
man in the state department all the
more necessary.

two men were fatally hurt and dozens
OF people more or less injured. Ch.-
cagos record was one killed and a
hundred injured. At st. Paul fifteen
were injured.
And We call this patriotic obserY-
anee of the anniversary of the mos.
notable day in the history OF America,
next to the day of its discovery. The
list might be multiplied; a majority
Of the injuries are never reported. But
the hundreds Of casualties from few
cities referred to above give some
idea of the urgent need for reform in
this matter. The number of cases OF
tetanus which results from the hand
ling of fireworks is very large and
seems to increase each year. Then
there are the gashes, the snufiing ont
OF eyes. the tearing of of fingers, the
managing of hands and legs and faces
from premature explosions, lockjaw,
and a hundred other kinds of injuries
from fireworks, pistols, toy cannon
and other dangerous devices.
Is it not time to stop and think with
a view to making and enforcing laws
against the indiscriminate use of these
deadly weapons? Here in the south
there is less recklessness in the OBJ
servance of the day than in the north
and east. This is not through any
absence of patriotism, but because of
a better appreciation of the situation.
1t may seem little hard to the boys
to be deprived of the giant firecracker.
the sizzling rocket and all the other
noise producing and danger bearing
devices for stirring up things on the
Fourth. but when intelligent parents
wake up the next morning and read
of the great independence Day slaugh-
ter as a result of all these danger.
Gus things they must necessarily con-
slider the importance OF stopping the
fatalities even at the expense of
sacrificing the fun of their children.
| There should be reason in all things,
but there is less in this annual ire
mendous loss of life and limb under
the guise of patriotism than in any
thing We can think of.
Some of the larger cities are en-,
forcing ordinances against the use OF
fireworks in the city limits. All the
cities should follow their example
Such a policy would result in much
less noise, it is true; but it would
also result In fewer corpses and Grip
pies and much less destruction OF
property by fire.

FOURTH OF JULY

The list of deaths and injuries re.
sulting from a barbarous celebration
Of Independence Day is coming in
thick and fast. 1t was hoped after all
that had been published in favor of a
safe and sane Fourth the day would
be observed in more reasonable way.
But despite all the warnings and
pleadings the same strenuous, noise
producing and reckless methods pre-.
vailed in many parts of the country
and the casualties seem to have been
more numerous than ever Hundreds
were killed, or more or less seriously
injured. The observance resulted in
almost as many deaths and injuries
as an ordinary battle between two
big armies.
Note some Of the returns from the
field of operations. In New York
City there were five killed and several
hundred injured. More than one hun,
dred persons were injured in Newark

BUSINESS PROGRESS
OF SOUTHERN STATES.
Jacksonville Times-Union.


For years the South has amazed
the world by her great Industrial
strides. More recently the banking
interests of the South have shown an
immense gain. Our section is now
financially almost if not quite indie
pendent.
Last year a recordzbreakipg cotton
crop was made. 1t was thought nee
essary to hold over 100000 bales OF
this crop for another year. Southern
banks were able to give aecommoda.
tons to make this possible.
1t has been the custom for years
for money from the South to flow TO
New York during the summer season
aud to flow back in still larger volume
from New York to the South during
the time for moving the crops We be-
lieve that hereafter this will not be
necessary. Southern banks, without
assistance, will be able to furnish all
the money needed for the. purpose.
Less than a third of a century ago
practically all the property OF the
South was wiped out of existence
The gains that have been made since
that time, starting from practically
nothing, have made for our section a
wonderful showing They prove that
the lethargy that is considered In
some quarters a part of Southern char
acter is a matter of imagination only
The truth is our people are not be-
hind those Of other sections in any
respect, and in business they show as
much enterprise, industry and success
as is shown by any people on the
