COURT REVERSES
 I'M WHIT CASE
Mississippi Supreme Court Bases De- cision On Criticism Made By Attor-
 ney In the Case.

Jackson, Miss, April 2.-(Special) )-The supreme court today handed down an opinion reversing the case of Jim Whit vs. the state. one of the most famous cases ever developed in Mississippi
 December "A. 1902, Whit and others were en route to a Christmas tree in Tate county On the way he shot and killed a man named Thompson. In due course of time he was convicted and sentenced to be hanged The supreme court re- versed the verdict, and a night or two thereafter friends of the murdered man surrounded the Tate county jail to lynch Whit Sheriff Poag made a brave de- fense, but was shot down and killed in the jail door. There was great excite ment and for weeks posses and detectives were after the murderers of the sheriff.
 A score were rounded up, but they se- cured changes of venue and most, if not all, have escaped punishment. On the second trial of Whit. the prosecuting att torney declared the supreme court had reversed the former verdict of the court below on purely technical grounds. It is reversed the second time, the court stated because the attorney had made such crit icism of the supreme court in presence of the jury.

CHICAGO TO VOTE ON CITY OWNERSHIP
CAMPAIGN WAGED HAS BEEN THE MOST BITTER OF REGENT YEARs-sALooN LICENSES FIG- URE IN THE FIGHT.

Chicago, April 2.3rhe question of mu- nicipal ownership of the street railways will be submitted to the popular vote to- morrow. and the result is5awelfed with great interest. The contest has been one of the most bitter that has been waged in this city in many years. and the work will be carried on tomorrow with even greater vigor than has been evidenced in the preliminary work of the campaign. Members of the Municipal Ownership league have been detailed to remain at every polling place in the city tomorrow to watch over the interests of "the little ballot" as the ticket bearing the three propositions relative to municipal owner ship which are to be voted for. has been named. Representatives of factions which are opposed to municipal ownership will also have watchers in every precinct.
 The usual party lines which exist at an aldermanic election in this city have been largely obliterated and the eligibility Of candidates is construed in the light of their attitude towards municipal owner ship and high license for saloons. The advocates of municipal ownership tonigat expressed the utmost commence Tn the re- suit, declaring that the voters of Chicago will favor it by an overwhelming ma- jority.
 Mayor Dunne said tonight:
 Municipal ownership will carry Chica- go by to | That Is the conviction fest after attending meetings in every part of the city"
 The propositions to be voted for tomor- row are as follows:
 l. Shall the city of Chicago proceed to operate street railways?
 2 Shall an ordinance passed by the City Council of Chicago providing for the issue of street railway certificates in an amount not to exceed s7b no0 GOO the money to be used for the purchase of the exist ing railway companies, be approved?
 8 Shall the City Council proceed with out delay to acquire municipal ownership and operation of all street railways in Chicago, instead of granting franchises to private companies?
 The first proposition must receives 90 ner cent of all votes cast in order to be made binding. A majority carries the oth- CT two.
 In addition to the contest on munich pal ownership. the question of whether saloon licenses shall be $500 or 5000 per annum will be up for settlement. The City Council after a sharp fight passed an ordinance making the license 5000. The liouor interests have made strong fight against every alderman up for reelection who voted for the ordinance.

PANAMA RAILROAD
 IS MAKING MONEY
SECRETARY TAFT SAYS IT IS NOW NECESSARY FOR CONGRESS TO DECIDE SPEEDILY ON TYPE OF CANAL TO BE BUILT.

New York, April 2.-The, annual meet ing of the stockholders and directors of the Panama Railroad company were held today In this city.
 Secretary Taft was present at both meetings. At the stockholders meeting the following directors were elected: T. P. Shonts. c. E. Magoon. M. T. Endicott, P. c. Haines, J. D. Obaldia, John r. Stevens, Roger l.. Farnham, F. A. Drake, C. R. Edwards, William Nelson Cromwell Oswald H. Ernest. B. NJ. Harrod and w. Leon Pepperman
 w. Leon Pepperman, the only new mem ber elected to the board, succeeds Will liam Barclay Parsons, who retired some time ago. Mir Pepperman Is the assistant to the chief secretary of the isthmian canal affairs. MT. Shonts was reelected president and John w. Stevens was elect ed vice president and general manager.
 The report for the ten months of the year. 1905 up to October S1 was submitted showing that the total earnings of the road for the transportation of all kinds of traffic exceeded by $302, ,2O4 or 1s.77 per cent those of the ten months of the pre- vous year.
 The financial summary follows:
 Total railroad earnings for the ten months period of 1905, s1,9l2,552, as com pared with s1s10S4O during the previous year. The total railroad expenses for the ten months of 1905. were si,213, ,61O as compared with $s13347 during the pre- vious year; net earnings during 1905, $69S. 942. as compared with s797,001. The net earnings of the steamship line were s5S,- 73O as compared with s103,517 during the previous year.
 The grand total earnings of all branches of the company were s3.077,6l1. as com. pared with S2,541 ,099 for the same period of 1904 The grand total of expenses were $2.3l9, 93s, as compared with $1,640.579, for the previous period. Total net earnings, $757, ,s72, as compared with s9OO,5l9 for the year previous.
 Secretary Taft after the meeting, said:
 "The report of the Panama railroad for the year past shows that it has made great progress. It's earnings have greatly increased, and, in fact, the road is quite unable to cope with the business which is being rushed over the line. The road Is being double-tracked for a distance of about thirty-five miles. This will greatly facilitate the operations of the company.
 I've have gotten to g v Int now where it is very necessary t some plan be adopted for the construction of the ca nal. When some definite plan of construc- tion is adopted, then the work can go ahead with new vigor. We all hope that some plan will be passed upon very soon by the government"

ALL ANTHRACITE
 WORKERS IDLE Operators Indignant at Action
 of the Miners PRICE OF COAL IS RAISED
Operators Say Retailers Are unjusti- fled In Advancing Prices, as They Have Plenty of Coal Stored
 for the Emergency.

Although the gravest situation of coal mining in the United States since the production of fuel attained It's enormous total occurred Monday, the fear of a com plete tle-up of the industry has passed and the situation is expected to improve rapidly with each day. Reports received tonight from the bituminous fields show that many of the leading coal companies have signed the 1903 scale, which gives the men an advance of 5.55 per cent. over the wages they received during the last two years The number of miners who received the increase is estimated at nearly 100000.
 As thousands of soft coal workers laid off to celebrate the inauguration of the s-hour day which is annually observed in the bituminous regions, the number of men who are on strike or have suspend ed work pending negotiations will not be known until Tuesday, or possibly Wednesday.
 In the anthracite regions there was an almost total suspension of mining in obedience to the instructions issued by the Shamokin scale committee. The rep resentatives of the operators and miners will meet in New York Tuesday for further discussion of the differences ex- isting between them.
 No disorder of any consequence is re- ported from any section of the anthracite or bituminous fields.

ALABAMA RIVERS
 CAUSING ALARM
LoWLANDS IN SOUTHERN PART OF STATE ARE COVERED AND MANY STEAMERS ARE HELD UP FOR LACK OF FUEL.

Mobile. April 2.-The situation in the due to the overflow in those two rivers, grows worse every day until now steam boats have been compelled to discontinue service owing to landings for 15O miles above Mobile being under water and no wood for fuel to be had in the inundated district. One steamer is now tied up at Claiborne, Ala, without fuel, unable to get here and with boilers cold. Other steamers due here are delayed and are believed to be experiencing the same trouble
 The flood has already reached propor- tions of the disastrous overflow of 1886 and now threatens to rival that of 1871, when both rivers reached stages never known to have been equalled before or since. Cattle are starving farmers are fast exhausting their supplies and be- cause of the severe change in the weather pneumonia has appeared among cattle and other live stock with disastrous re- sults With full cargoes river steamers are being held here ready to be rushed out as soon aS waters oeSiH u ieceue'
 Dixie, Ala, over a hundred miles above Mobile, Is now under water several feet deep and still rising. Since Saturday the overflow has extended about 50 miles, which makes the inundated area 150 miles. The situation Is gloomy, stock is dying of starvation and crops will be delayed for weeks. There is no way of estimating the extent of damage. Only one or two losses of human life have been reported so far.

FIRST INSURANCE
 BILL IS NOW LAW
Higgins Affixes Signature Which Post pones Mutual Elections Until
 November IS.

Albany, N. r., April 2.-The first of the ten bills proposed by the special investi- gating committee as the result of its investigation of life insurance conditions is now a law.
 Governor Higgins this afternoon affixed his signature to the bill which postpones until November 15 the annual elections of the New York Life, Mutual of New York Mutual Reserve of New York. the Securi- ty Mutual of Binghampton. the four mu- tual life insurance companies Incorporated under the laws of this state. It does not effect the Equitable Life Assurance so- ciety. which is a stock company. In sign ing the bill the governor published a memorandum sharply criticising the direc- tors whom he thus legislated out of office.
 One of the most important effects of the act is that 1t invalidates every proxy hitherto secured. whether by the compan- ies themselves, by Thomas W. Lawson of Boston, or any one else.
