Memphis. Tenn. April 12.-A special to The News-scimitar from senatobia. Miss. says: At an early hour this morning Sheriff J. NJ. Poag. of Tate County. was shot and killed by mob of masked men, heavily armed. who entered the jail for the purpose of lib- erating James White, a white prisoner, who is to be placed on trial Monday on charge of murder.
 The mob, which consisted of six or eight men. reached the jail at o'clock this morning and gained an entrance before Sheriff Poag was aware of it's intention. The Sheriff's demand that the men leave the Jail was met with a firm refusal, whereuppn the officer fired. wounding one man. The mob then fired on the Sheriff. two bullets taking effect, one passing through the left lung. The members of the mob then beat a nasty retreat, taking their wounded companion with them.

 The names of the members of the mob are not given. and they are prob- ably unknown at this time. White re- mains in jail. There is great excite ment here and further developments are watched with keen interest.
 Later advices from Senatobia state that it Is believed the mob desired to lynch White instead of liberating him. Armed posses are securing the coun- try for members of the mob, and if they are apprehended violence is fear ed,

race suicide is receiving the attention of some of the prominent delegates. Some of them take issue with the Pres ident on this subject and say he should look to the women of his own social set for race suicide. Tt Is the pace set by our society women, particularly in official life" one of the delegates declared. which makes race suicide a subject for profound thought"
 Tomorrow a resolution will be re- ported on the question of parenthood. which 1t is said will take issue with the Presidents views on the question of race suicide. and will declare that quality. not quantity" of children is preferable.
 Tonight the Rev. Anna Shaw. Pres- ident of the National woman's Suffrage Association, made an address In which she openly spoke her mind on the sub Ject of parenthood. saying in part: Tt Is said that women should rear more children, but say that you must first make your country fit to rear children in. We need to make this world safe for children. To do so we must give them social heredity. so that they will be born in safe conditions and pro- tected until grown. This cannot be done until women have rights in the State to protect them. We must have city mothers as we'll as city fathers. We desire the suffrage as a means to an end."

CASTRO TO MIR. BOWEN
TAFT HAS TEXT OF VENEZUELAN
 PRESIDENTS REPLY.
Fills Description Conveyed by Amer lean Minister, Which He Charac- terixed at the Time as
 EnaOlemt.

Washington. April 12,--while the officials here decline to make public at this stage the text Of President Castro's reply to Minister Bowen's ar- bitration proposal, it may be stated that there was nothing personal to the American Minister in President Castro's statement, so that if 1t should be eventually held tp he un- diplomatic and even ruda, the injury will be sustained by the State De- pertinent rather than by the Minister and therefore it is the former alone that will be concerned. This is par ticularly true of an inquiry from the Venezuelan government as to wheth- CT the United States presumed to question the integrity of the VeneZue- Ian courts. the inquiry being couehed in rather vigorous language.
 It also appears that there Is an ex- pressed disposition on the part Of the Venezuelan government to localize the issue by concentrating attention upon the Olcott case, which was the subject of an arbitration in 1903, thus evad- ing the attempt on the part of the State Department to rest its case principally upon the asphalt contro- versy.
 As a matter of fact the State De- partment has never been particularly strenuous in it's efforts to force a set clement immediately of the Olcott case or another minor pending claims. being willing to allow all of these to be adjusted at some future date through the usual agency of an in- ternational mixed commission. But it has pressed the asphalt case prin- cipally because the Venezuelan gov ernment in that matter may estab- fish a precedent that will invalidate every foreign concession.
 The text of President Castro's reply to Minister Bowen is now before Sec retary Taft who has determined not to send it to the President but to take it under consideration himself It Is said that the communication fills the description conveyed by Minister Bowen in his cablegram as to the form of expression. which he declared to be insolent.

REFORM LEAGUE.
Russians Want DemOcratiEatiOm of
 their Government.

St. Petersburg, April 13.-Q:15 a. m. The formation of a national profes- | sional reform league to unite the acti- vities of lawyers. doctors, teachers, en- l gineers and other professional classes of Russia to bring about the democra- tization of the government and the in- stitution of @ representative parlia- ment and a responsible ministry is the ambitious project set on foot by the national congress of lawyers. which finished its work here last night.
 The plan proposed is the formation of national associations of the various professional classes, each of which shall elect delegates to central bureau which Is to direct and coordinate the efforts of the "intellectuals" in the direction of reforms. Other classes which have openly manifested liberal tendencies on many occasions, notably the doctors at their recent congress in Moscow. are apt to accept the invita- tion. and unless it should. a powerful reform force is likely to spring into heinz soon. The deliberations of the lawyers which were carried to a con- clusion to direct disregard of police orders and which were participated in by 173 delegates representing every judicial district in Russia except Siheria. resulted In the organization of the National Legal Association and the election of a central bureau of thir- teen. which is empowered to select legal representatives for a proposed central commitete to draft prelimina- rv plans for the organization of that body.
 The leaders of the movement declare that the plans do not contemplate any assault on the monarchical form of government or disloyalty to the em- al n tfnn of qhgniut- ism and reforms in the direction of af- fairs and especially in certain matters as the budget and taxation and the point of rejection. though by a small
 majority, of a resolution committing tha assembly to "extra legal measures to show hatred of the existing order and bring about a democratic and legal mode of government in Russia" bears out this declaration.
 feature of the meeting was a special honor shown the Polish dele gates at the first session, when the en- tire assemblage arose and remained standing facing the section occupied bv the Poles, while a speaker pro- nounced a panegyric upon them. The Poles, however, did not participate in +he following sessions, which were held in defiance of the police. merely send ing their visiting cards each day.
 The delegates met in acordance with secret arrangements at different private houses. assembling before the arrival of the police and disregarding orders to cease their sessions. At yesterdays sessions the police promptly placed a cordon around the house in which the delegates were to meet and prevented all but fifteen from entering and sent word to those that all delegates not residents of St. Petersburg must leave

MIR. Roo,y WELT IS READY

St. Petersburg, April 12.-t11:25 D. m. m.)-Ambassador Meyer this evening presented his letters of credence to Elm peror Nicholas at Tstarskoe-Selo.
 In diplomatic circles the keenest in- terest is manifested at the first inter view between the Emperor and the new American Ambassador owing to wide- spread belief that President Roosevelt has already allowed the information to be conveyed to both belligerents that he lands ready, upon their mutual re- quest to undertake the promotion of peace. 1t is supposed that Mir. Meyer this evening delivered a confidential communication to his majesty from President Roosevelt, but so far as is ascertainable the Emperor did not dis cuss the question of peace with the new Ambassador.
 MT. Meyers reception followed the traditional old world pomp and cere- mony observed at the court of the Romanoffs. He was received literally Tn great and solemn state" Accom- panied by Secretarys Edy and Bliss and attended by four chamberlains of the court in full uniform he travelled by special imperial train to Tsarskoe- selo. At the station the party were met by Count Dendrikoff. master of ceremonies, and a number of court off, ficials. Four golden state carriages were in waiting. The coach occupied by Ambassador Meyer and Baron Korff was drawn by six white stallions. with the grooms and footmen in the imperial scarlet livery and with outriders on either side
 To Emperorss Apartment.
 Arriving at Alexandra Palace. Baron Fredericks, surrounded by court off, cials all in blazing uniform, greeted the party. Ambassador Meyer was first presented to the Empress mother. to whom in turn he presented the Elm Count Hendrikoff. bearing his staff of office and a solemn procession of court functionaries, the Ambassador passed through salons to the Emperor's private apartments. Here the imperial body guard saiuted. In the library the procession halted and the doors of the private reception room were thrown open by the Eniperor's picturesque turbaned mamelukes and, as the per- sonal representative of the President, as we'll as of the Government of the United States, Ambassador Meyer ad- vanced alone to meet the Emperor and Empress. Their greeting and recep- ton were cordial
 The letters and credentials presented by MT. Meyer were in the usual form and were addressed ITO His Imperial Majesty. the Autocrat of all the Rus sias"
 The audience lasted ten or fifteen minutes. What passed between the Emperor and Ambassador naturally is secret.
 The occasion marked a notable de- parture from the custom of the St. Pe- tersburg court since the days of Min ister C. R. Breckinridge. Mir. Meyer, wearing no uniform but appearing in the simple evening dress of an Ameri- can gentleman.

WOLF HUNTING BY PRESIDENT Roosevelt is Engaged in
 Strenuous Sport. WAS IN AT THE DEATH Coon and Wild Cat Also Given
 Hot Chase. But Little Business Transacted at the Temporary Government
 Headquarters in Fort
WAS IN AT THE DEATH

Dallas. Tex, April 12.-A special from Frederick. 0. T.. to The News says:
 It has been an ideal day for wolf hunting as the weather has been cool and a cloudy sky enabled the horses and dogs to keep up a fast gait. The longest chase of the entire hunt was twelve miles over hill and break and through brush and creek. but ended at last with the capture of the wolf. There were but four of the party in sight at the close. the President be- ing one of the quartette. The three were all young men who were excel lent horsemen. J. R. Abernathy. Guy Waggoner and young Burnett. As a diversion a coon hunt was indulged in last night. A wild cat was tracked en route but the dogs left the scent to follow their more common prey wolves. After considerable difficulty in the brush, the coon was at last caught in Deep Red Creek. It was brought to camp where 1t now repre- sents the only species of It's kind in the Presidents private menagerie Yesterday while in camp number of foot races were held. Mir. Roosevelt entered in one of these sprlnts
 It now appears that the President will not break his original plans which are to leave here tomorrow af- ternoon. Tn this case he will not be likely to continue the hunt after noon tomorrow. The President Is highly pleased at the manner in which he has been allowed to hunt in private. So far not a single individual who has not had business at the camp has en- tered the grounds and the hospitable manner in which he has been enter tained by Colonel Lyon and others will cause him to remember his Okla homa hunt as a very enjoyable out ing. It is expected that the President will keep his regular schedules and leave tomorrow afternoon with the party. In this case tomorrow fore noon will be the last of his present sojourn in Oklahoma before nis de- parture for Colorado, where he will hunt for bigger game.

WOMAN DEFENDS WAR.
Paper of Mrs. Bailey Before National
 Council of Women.

Washington, April 12.-Reports of representatives from auxiliaries con sumed the time of the afternoon ses- sion of the National Council of Women. Mrs. Elizabeth B. McCowan of Buffalo in presenting the report of the National Catholic Benevolent Association said that in twenty-eight States the asso- citation has a total membership of 1O0,- 900 persons and $3,O00,O0O has been paid to benefciaries.
 A defense of war was made by Mrs. Belinda s. Bailey of California, who submitted the report of the ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. There is, she said, a growing sentiment against war as if the public mind had been a surfeit of it. Yet, she con- tinued, as horrible as war appears in some of its aspects. all its flowers are not red. She spoke of the American wars from l776 down to and including the Spanish war and said all had been waged in the interests of constitutional government, union, civilization and progress. Peace or war are as tools to the workmen and can be judged only as good or evil by what has been ac- complished in them or the advancement and progress of the human family Judging by this, the war period from 1861 to 1885 is still the most glorious era of history. because it freed 4 900 GOO slaves and brought into being a homo geneous nation. We feel justified in maintaining a society based upon war services and find it good to speak often to our children of the splendor of those great days.
 Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett told of the work of the Florence Crittenden mis- sion. Six great cities today she said, are studying the social evil and she be- lieved that the time would come when there would be no white slave traffic
 Mrs. Mary Church Terrell read the report of Mrs. Josephine $. Yates. Pres ident of the National Association of Colored Women. The organization. the report said, now has a membership of about 10000 negro women scattered throughout thirty-one States.
