DIRECTORS REELECTED.
Cotton Mill at Jacksonville Holds
 Meeting.


 Jacksonville, April 11.-(SpeciaL)- The stockholders of the Ide Cotton Mill at this place met yesterday and re- elected the following named gentlemen to serve on the Board of Directors for the ensuing year: J. E. Henry, Lincoln, N. H.; l.. K. Quimby, Lyndon, Vt; J. w. Hawke, Piedmont, Ala; L. w. Grant, Frank J. Burke, Walter Dean, H. L. Stevenson, George F. lde, George Crow, Jacksonville, Ala.
 The statement of J. w. Hawke, Vice President of the mill company, was very gratifying to the stockholders as well as that of George P. Ide. Secre- tary and Treasurer. MT. Hawke has made a great success of the Coosa Manufacturing Company (cotton mil) at Piedmont, ten miles north of Jack sonville. In a talk to the stockholders MT. Hawke said he knew of no mill in the South superior to the Ide mill in finish of construction and all the latest appliances that make for economical production of output, and he predicted a very bright future for the enterprise.
 The dwellings for the operatives diff fer from many mills in being both tasteful in design and finish and com fortable and roomy in construction. Each house is differently painted from the one next to it and sufficient gar den spot Is attached to each and meadow for pasturage is contiguous to the whole. Water Is supplied in abun- dance from the "big spring" and plentiful supply of water flows along the whole property and waters the pas ture lands The situation Is healthful and the view very beautiful. The mill as yet has only about half the opera tives needed and here is presented an opportunity of employment to skilled operatives who appreciate such sur roundings.
 After the adjournment of the stock holders meeting the Board of Directors met and elected the following officers: J. E. Henry, President; J. w. Hawke, Vice-President; George P. Ide, Secre- tary and Treasurer; MT. s. H. Robbins, Superintendent of the mill.
 Today the stockholders of the Ala bama Investment company meet for the annual election of board of direc- tors and officers.

LANGLEY ct al vs. ANDREWS.


 Bill in Equity to Foreclose Mort- gage.-Appeal from the Chancery Court of Tallapoosa.
 1. Equity pleading; no reversible error to fail to pass upon a demurrer. Where bill in equity is not subject to a demurrer interposed thereto, the fact that the chancellor omitted to rule upon said demurrer, notwithstanding it was embraced in the note of sub mission, constitutes no error prejudi- cial to the respondent.
 g. Equity pleading; when answer of one of the defendants can be consider ed and read as evidence.-As a gen. eral rule, the answer of one defendant Is not good against another. but when the right of a complainant as against one defendant is only prevented from being complete by some question be- tween the complainant and a second defendant, the answer of the second defendant may be considered and read in evidence.
 8. Bill to foreclose mortgage: when answer of the assignor of the mort gage will be considered and read in evidence against the mortgage-Where the assignee of a mortgage files a bill against both the mortgagor and assignor to foreclose said mortgage. and execution of the mortgage is proved, and the assignor by answer admits the assignment, the complain ant will be entitled to a decree, not withstanding the mortgagor may deny all knowledge of the assignment. 4. Execution of written instrument: what constitutes duress rendering in- strument voidable.-It Is not the threat of criminal prosecution in any case that constitutes duress which is deemed sufficient to avoid contracts. or to render invalid the execution of a writ ten instrument, but the threat of crim- | inal prosecution must be of such a 'na- ture and made under such circumstan- ces as to constitute reasonably ade- quate cause to control the will of the threatened person, and must have that | effect, and the acts sought to be void ed must be performed by said per- son while in such condition.
 5. Same; duress: ratification-A con- tract made under duress is only voida- l ble and, therefore. the party upon whom duress has been imposed subse- quently recognizes the validity of the contract involved. either by making payments thereon or otherwise. he will | be held to have elected to waive the duress and ratify the contract. 6. Mortgage; stipulation for pay
 ment of attorneys fee. The pro-
 vision contained in mortgage that
 the proceeds of the sale from the mortgage should be devoted first. to the payments of the expenses of said
 sale, Including a reasonable attorneys fee for collecting said sum, whether by
 foreclosure or under order of sale, or

increasing that the strikes thruout the
empire, and especially those in st. Pc
tersurg. are not economic in their ori.
gin, but inspired by definite political
plan The government and employers
are embarrassed by the tactics of the
workingmen, whose discomfort is felt
in the way of increasing demands, and
they will accept no concessions.
The disturbance is believed to have
been fomented by crafty political ad
venturers, who are stirring up the men
and at the same time holding them in
leash, apparently waiting some signal
for concerted action.
Fear is entertained that this wide
spread agitation may be connected with
a plan to await possible peasant out
break in the spring, with which a gen
eral strike will be synchronized, the
workin gmen joining hands with the
peasants.
The election of labor representatives
to the imperial commission, which is to
investigate the causes Of discomfort in
st. Petersburg, passed off quietly yes
terday.
The situation in Riga is again re-
ported to be very serious. The authori-
ties there apparently are unable to cope
with the lawless element.
Every policeman on duty in Warsaw
is accompanied by soldier. The au-
thorities, fearing a strike by the po-
lice, adopted this precaution so that,
in the event of an officer leaving his
post, it will not be unprotected. The
measure is further intended to guard
policemen from possible attack by
strikers.

Judge for the northern district Of Flori-
da, today acquitted him on all Of the
twelve articles of Impeachment brought
by the house Of representatives. -
On none Of the articles was there
even a majority for conviction, altho it
required two thirds to convict. The
closest vote wasfon the last article, the
contempt case Of w. @. O'Neal, when
thirty-fve senators voted ..t'guilty" and
articles only thirteen senators voted
for conviction. The voting for the most
part was on party lines, tho there was
not a strict alignment On any article.
The alignment on the first article Of
Impeachment is practically the detailed
vote on each article. 1t was as fol-

russ MOB KILLS
JEWS BY SCORES
Shocking Atrocities at Theodosia
Another Sign Of Gathering
Storm in Russia.
Special to The Journal.

Berlin, Feb. 27.-Prominent Jews
here have received confirmation of anti
Jewish riots at Theodosia, Crimea. Last
week l{ a R political strike w, was in progress
shattered the prefecture. The officials,
to protect themselves, started cry Of
Clown with Jews. - The mob imme-
diately abandoned their attack on the
prefecture and rushed to the Ghetto,
and began to massacre Jews. They
forced entrances to houses, shot their
victims with revolvers or stabbed them.
The skulls and almost every bone in the
bodies Of the victims were broken. In
many cases the mob refrained from kill
ing their victims and deliberately broke
their limbs leaving them in their mis-
cry. Forty-seven Jews, including sew
enteen women, were killed and 1873 were
wounded.
Reports from other sources say the
situation at Theodosia has been greatly
exaggerated.
The situation In Caucasia is rapidly
becoming more serious. At Baku to-
day, armed Armenians invaded .Meelip-
offs factory and killed forty-two Rus
sian workmen who refused to partici-
pate in the revolutionary movement.

Of setting fire to the building after he
had robbed the cash drawer last night.
Since Feb. the cash drawer Of the
library had been robbed twice and off
GERS from the South Side station had
been detailed to investigate. They
thought the thief had key to the build

Last night Askeland and a man
named Peterson decided to watch the
library in the hope of catching the
burglar. They concealed themselves
across the street and had not watched
long before Lindahl unlocked the rear
door and entered. They followed him,
and he made the excuse that he was
at the same time they did and Askeland
and Peterson again concealed them
selves while Lindahl went back to his
beat.
The two watchers had not waited
more than half an hour when the officer
returned and entered the library. This
waited until III he ~. They then found
the cash. dra1sr empty, while light
in the rear nom attracted their atten-
tion and they found that the building
was on fire. They extinguished the fire
and went to. the South Side station,
where they reported the theft and made
the charge against Lindahl.

and a guard placed over him until this
morning, when the county attorney is-
sued complaint for grand larceny and
Lindahl was formally arrested and

SWEDEN'S OK ON
MARRIAGE NEEDED
Swedes Who Wed in Foreign
Countries Must Get Official
Permit.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Notice has
been sent to the Swedish legation at
Washington that hereafter all Swedes
who marry in any foreign country must
get permission from their diplomatic
Representative if they wish their mar
riage to be legally recognized in Swe-
den.
The action is due to the fact that
many Swedes have been going to near
by countries, where it was easy to get
divorces, and marrying again, some
times under conditions that would not
be allowed in Sweden. When a Swede
living in the United States wishes to
be married and return to his native
land, he must apply for permission to
the minister in Washington, who, if
everything is in accordance with the
laws of Sweden, will issue certificate
to that effect This certificate must
be produced when the couple returns to
Sweden.
The Swedish consul at New York has
been given permission to issue these
marriage permits, owing to TIE large
number Of Swedes in that city, and he
is the only person in the United States
with power, aside from the minister
| The large number Of Swedes in the
northwest would seem to demand that
like authority be given the consul in
/! that locality, and this may. be brought
about if sufficient pressure is exerted.
