Body Believed to Be that of Negro Found In q We'll.
 Prattville, June 21.-(Special.)- Ut is believed the body of Buck Stewart, the negro who disappeared last spring from Kingston, about fourteen miles north west of this place. and who was thought at the time to have been mob bed. has been found. Some weeks ago two negresses saw the body in an old well about half mile from Kingston, but said very little about the matter. This week 1t was mentioned, and J. L. L. Stewart and J. B. Dawes went to to the well and after Investigating the matter as well as they could, sent a man down in the well with the result as stated The body was so decompos- ed that it could not be exactly identi- fled. but the overalls and black shirt were thoroughly identified by tho wo- men who saw Buck Stewart the fatal night when he was called out by the crowd of men.
 An account of the mysterious disap- pearance of Buck Stwert was given in the columns of The Advertiser at the time and 1t was freely stated by citi- zens living near the scene that the ne- gro had been lynched, but as no trace of his body could be found there were those who doubted his having met that fate. The find in the we'll shows that in all probability Buck Stewart was lynched and his body thrown in the we'll to hide the crime. The skull of the skeleton was broken in several places, and the body otherwise showed violence.
 The grand jury, at the May term of the Circuit Court. it Is understood, in- vestigated this charge of lynching, but the evidence did not warrant finding an indictment. That the negro died by violence at the hands of unknown per- sons is beyond question now.

TAKAHIRA,s SPEECH.
He and Governor Douglas HOnored by
 Tufts College.

Tufts College.
 Medford, Mass. June 21.-Tuft's Col lege today celebrated its fiftieth an- degree of Doctor of Laws upon Kogoro Takahira, the Japanese Minister, and Governor W. L.. Douglas.
 At the commencement dinner in Dod- dard Gymnasium this afternoon ad- dresses were made by several of those who had received honorary degrees. including Governor Douglas and Min ister Takahira. MT. Takahira said the conferring upon him today of the hon. orary degree of Doctor of Laws would be considered as the testimony of friendship for his people and therefore would tend to promote the happy re- lations between the Americans and Japanese. There has been nothing. he declared, which proved to have moro effectively contributed to the pro- gress of Japan than sympathetic ef- forts and conscientious services done by the American educationalists in in troducing into his country the modern method of education and also instruct ing his countrymen who came to this country to study in its schools.
 If through the cooperation of American educationalists," MT. Tal1a- hira continued, we can hereafter ex- tend the same system of education to the other parts of the Far East, sim cerely believe that the westward march of civilization may be steered still further westward, with much greater facility, despite the obstacles it meets on It's way at the present moment and that the effect they will bring upon the peace and progress of the world will be very great and beneficial

pICKpTr SPRINGS CASINO.
Great Audience Last Night Enjoyed th'
 Entertainment.


 The young woman billed at the Pickett Springs Casino as Atlantis is an artist. It requires artistic genius to harmoniZe coloring, and to appear to the senses with this coloring ac- companied by the poetry of motion This is what Atlantis" does and she does 1t exceptionally well.
 The great audience. which almost completely overflowed the little play house last night. showed a proper ap- preciation of the dances and the skill full use of shades by Atlantis" as well as appreciating and applauding the ac- tors who presented in a very clever manner a comedy programmed as "A Natural Mistake" a comedy which We recalled as our good old friend Con fusiSn" of the days when we sat up and laughed at Nat Goodwin and de- clared b'gosh. he was just about the best play actor in the business.
 While the play was presented care fully and surprisingly smooth Ter a repertoire company the people had evil dently gene to Pickett Springs to see Atlantis" dance. They were well re- warded. There is nothing especially new or startling in the dances of the young woman. It Is an old act brought up to date and it serves nightly to entertain. The butterfly dance, the fire dance and the others were executed gracefully and the hand ling of the voluminous skirts was exc cuted with consummate skill.
 No mere man could attempt to tell how it Is done. but it certainly tickles the senses and that Is the purpose of Atlantis" She will draw those who saw her last night to the theatre again.
 Mention of the entertainment would not be complete without reference to some really meritorious portrayals by members of the Heisman Company Bonnie Vance led the rest with fine conception of Miss Tickleby, the eccen- tric old maid Of course, this Is fa- vorite part with character women, but 1t Is not strictly q fiat part" Miss Vance was restrained and natural. She is valuable member of this company.
 Mir. Hcisman did well as Mortimer and Mir. Castilla furnished clever bit as the butler. The others filled in sat- isfactorily.
 The bill will be repeated tonight.

CITY WITHOUT WATER
BIG MAIN ON M'DoNOUGH STREET
 BURST.
Before It Was Shut on 5,0O0,0OO Gal Ions Had Poured Into the street-Thirsty People
 Down Town.

Five million gallons of water were lost by the Montgomery water works last night when main burst at the corner of McDonough and Pollard Streets shortly after 10 o'clock
 The streets in the neighborhood or the break were flooded and the city was without water until an early hour this morning.
 If the break had occurred during the day the result would have been serious. One does not realize the in- portant part water plays in his daily existence until the supply is cut or for a great while
 There was no water down town last night after 10 o'clock. Some of the saloons were closed for lack of water supply. Few men will drink whiskey without water lon the side" The res- taurants were inccnvenienced and horses suffered.
 As soon as the break was reported Captain W. T. Perry, City Plumber. summoned all the workmen he could find and hurried to the scene. At mid night, it was said that temporary ar rangemont would be completed by 4 o'clock this morning. This arrange ment will comprehend the cutting or the main and confining the break to one city block which will be without water until the break can be repaired. The actual repair of the main may re- uuire several days.
 No reason was assigned for the break in the main. The main Is laid about five feet underground and the water spurted through the surface of the earth like a geyser Soon the streets were running streams and peo- ple residing in the vicinity felt some alarm until assured that no damage would come from the break~
 At the pumping station it was said that 5,o00,000 gallons of water would he lost, This will be a snug excess water bill for the city.

Believe Difficulty Can Be smOOthet

Believe Difficulty Can Be SmOOfhed. Washington Special.
 While there have been unofficial re- ports that John F. Wallace. chief en- gineer of the Panama Canal. was dis satisfied with the extent of the control he has over the work of building the waterway. the authorities here have discredited the rumors that he would resign. No doubt exists that MT. Wallace, is coming here to have a straight talk with the President and Secretary of War. but 1t is believed that the differences which exist can be settled satisfactorily.
 When MT. Wallace was appointed chief engineer he was told that he should have unlimited authority in constructing the canal. He does not think, if reports are to be believed, that the promise has been kept, and he wants to find out about it. He will arrive in Washington in about a week. and the President and Secretary Taft will tell him the truth about his own position and that of his superiors-

 Suits Contemplated.
 Many suits. 1t is intimated, are all ready in contemplation and will be brought just as fast as the develop ments warrant the preparation of the papers with the object of compelling the restitution of all profits which can be proved to have been acquired through use of the society's funds
 The Executive Committee held its usual mid-week meeting with MT. Hyde in the chair. Other committeeman present included Chairman Morton. Vice-Presidents Tarbell. Wilson and Mcintyre. Comptroller Jordan and Di- rectors H. c. Deming, Alvin W. Krech and Valentine P. Snyder, It was said later that the secretary's general plan of reorganization was discussed and that many suggestions made by Chair man Morton in this connection were approved.
 After the meeting MT. Hyde said: q have absolutely no plans to go to Eu- rope, and wish you would deny any such report"
 Chairman Morton of the Equitable was asked today whether former Vice President James H. Hyde will continue to hold office as chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the Society, and he replied: Well, temporarily"
 MT. Morton denied that he had un- dertaken or contemplated criminal or legal proceedings against former of- ficers or directors of the Society in or- der to secure the return of any funds.

WALLACE MAY
 QUIT CANAL
RUMORED THAT CHIEF ENGINEER
 WILL TENDER RESIGNATION.
To Confer with Secretary-FOrmer Chicago Man on Way from Pan- anna to Washington.

Colon Cable to Chicago Tribune.
 It is believed in official circles here that John F. Wallace. chief engineer of the Panama Canal Zone, who sailed for the United States on June Is. will tender his resignation to Secretary Taft on his arrival in Washington. The fact that MT. Wallace Is accom- panied by his wife and his two secre- taries seems to lend credence to the rumor.
 When MT. Wallace sailed 1t was publicly announced that he was going home by order of Secretary Taft for the purpose of a consultation on im- portant matters. and that he was not likely to return to the isthmus until his annual report had been written and he had secured & short rest.
 Since his departure. however, it has been said by men high in affairs that he would confer with Secretary Taft on the subject of his resignation and would never return as chief engineer.
 Memorial from Employees.
 Shortly before he sailed MT. Wal lace was the recipient of a memorial from the heads of departments on be- half of the canal employees expressing their deep appreciation of the benefits resulting from the new schedule of hours and wages, and from the bet N%A@ connected with the work on the ca nal.
 Prior to his acceptance of the posi- tion of chief engineer of the canal zone MT. Wallace was general man ager of the Illinois Central Railroad. He gave up this position. however. and on June 1, 1904, took up the work of supervising the construction of the great Panama Canal at salary of $25,OO0 a year. He was to have charge of the entire work and it is under his direction, should he not resign, that the S2O0, 100000 required for the build ing of the canal will be expended. He is also In charge of an army, which. when it reaches its full strength, will consist of 5O,000 men. nearly equal to that of the standing army of the Uni- ted States.

 Mir. Wallace was born in Fall River, Mass, and was graduated as a civil engineer from the Monmouth Univer- sty. Monmouth, III, which was found- ed by his father. He entered railway service as rodman in 1869 and in 1879 was made chief engineer of the Peoria and Pennington Railway, the construction of which he supervised
 In 1887 he was made bridge engineer of the Santa Fe, but left that road, and in 1892 was named as chief engineer of the Illinois Central. In 1893 he be- came assistant second vice president and in 1901 assistant general manager He was made general manager of the road in September, 1902, a position which he held until he accepted the offer of the government.
