TWO ALLEGED MURDERERs.
Governor Offers Reward for Capture of
 Criminals.

Governor Jelks yesterday offered two rewards of $100 each for the. capture of alleged murderers, one named Henry Perry, a negro, who shot and killed Peter Stanton, a white man, in Monroe County last November and is believed to have fled the State.
 The second reward is for the capture and delivery to the sheriff of Jefferson County of a negro named Jim Walker, who Is charged with shooting and in- stantly killing a white merchant, w. D. Hill, near Smythe mines in Jefferson County on April 8. This was an atrocious crime as the merchant, ac- eording to circumstantial evidence, was shot with a load of buckshot while lying on the ground.
 Sheriff M. McFountain, of Monroe County, describes the murder of Peter Stanton as also exceedingly atrocious. The citizens of the county have offered a reward of $100 and thus there is a total reward now of $200. The sheriff assures the Governor there is no doubt of the proof against Perry, once he is caught.
 Application for the reward for Jim Walkers capture was made by Solicitor Hefiin, of the Jefferson County Criminal Court The father of Walker Is now under arrest in connection with the killing and he himself claims that his son is the guilty party.

 Tuskegee, May 2.-(Special.)-E. W Lord, Assistant Commissioner of Edu- cation for Porto Rico, who has been here for a few days past to look after the Porto Rican students at the Tusks- gee Institute. left this morning Tor Washington. There are twelve Porto Rican students at Tuskegee at present. According to the term of the law by which they were placed here they must return to their homes at the end or four years. That period will have been completed at the end of this year, but as they will not be able to graduate until next year most of them are try ing to make arrangements 10 rcmaln longer as they are all very anxious to complete their course.
 MT. Lord says that the government has already established five industrial schools in Porto Rico and he looks forward to seeing more of them astab- lished and conducted along the line of the school at Tuskegee.
 It Is probable that all of the students who come to the United States in the future to get an industrial training will be sent to Tuskegee. since the results elsewhere do not seem to have baen as happy as they have been here. The law prescribes that twenty students shall receive industrial training in the United States.
 MT. Lord says the Porto Ricans seem quite happy in their school and are only anxious how to devise means to remain. As a matter of fact the only thing of which they complain in the United States is the heat. They say they never knew how hot it could get until they came to Alabama. In Porto Rico the temperature is seation- ary at about 75 degrees the wear around, not varying more than de- grees.

NEGROES NOT GUILTY.
Jim Sellers and Mary Williams Accused
 of Murder.

Jim Sellers and Mary Williams. ne- groes. charged with the murder of Bos- ton Williams, on the Jackson Ferry Road, about two weeks ago, were yes- terday acquitted on their preliminary hearing by Justice Michel H. Screws
 It will be remembered that Williams died from a gunshot wound inflicted by Sellers. and 1t was alleged that the wife of Williams aided and abetted the slayer of her husband in his all legged crime in order to get rid of the man. who stood between herself and her lover.
 The evidence taken by Justice Screws and testified to by even the witnesses summoned by the State, proved that Williams was advancing on Sellers with an upraised axe. Sellers. in compli- ance with the law, retreated and warm ed Williams to approach no further.
 Williams continued to approach and the shot was fired. It was also proved that the prisoner had been threatened by the Williams negro. There was ab- solutely no case against the woman.
