NEW sWINDLINo SCHEME.
Letter From Barcelona Tells of Money
Left to a Westerner.

Washington, February S.-Closely fol-
lowing the recent seizures by the New
York custom house inspectors of the trunk
with the false bottom containing nearly
a quarter of a million dollars In Austro-
Hungarian bonds, came an appeal to the
state department from q man in the
west to secure an investigation by the
American consul general at Barcelona of
a letter he had received from the place,
which the department officials believe in
dicates the existence of a clever swind-
ling scheme.
The western man wrote that the letter
he had received from Barcelona stated
that q prisoner in Jail there had died
owning a trunk with u false bottom,
concealed in which were several hundred
thousand dollars worth of Austrian bonds.
The trunk had been left by will to this
particular western man who could secure
1t, on payment of charges amounting to
about $500. The department officials con-
meet this swindle with the famous Span
ish F'riar" knavery, which has resulted In
the loss of many thousands of dollars to
Americans, by the use of fictitious in
heritances in Spain. 1t is believed that
many such letters as this western man
has received, have been sent broadcast
throughout the United States.

avoid the fate of its three predecessors.
the workmens council has formally dis
banded and has published an announce

CURE CONSUMPTION

Berlin. February S.--Prof Emil Won

serum addressing the German agricultural
council today announced his determine
ton to adhere to the resolution which he
promulgated In Paris of keeping his
tuberculosis remedy secret till autumn
The professor discussed lengthily the
method of preventing consumption by I'M

The aim is to secure milk having I'M
munizing properties. He claims to have
approximately solved this problem, Cows

Professor Behrin also treated cows
which showed a virulent type of tuber-

His theory is that children fed on milk
from cows rendered immune through his
treatment become themselves immune.

The state supreme court yesterday re-
versed and remanded the case of Tho
State ex rel A. B. Perdue vs.. II. B. Aber-
nathy. on appeal from the city court Of
Jefferson county, and the city court Will
again have to pass on the matter,
This is the we'll known inferior court
case. 1t was a suit entered for the pur-
pose of endeavoring to determine the con-
stitutionality of the act establishing the
inferior court for precints q and 81 OF
Jefferson county, and went to the SUI
preme court on demurrer. This demur-
rer which was based on two allegations,
was overruled by the court, which de-
elared that the act was constitutional;
that section 1O6 of the constitution, rela-
tive to the necessary publication of pro-
posed local laws had been complied with
and that the title of the proposed act
had stated in full the objects and purposes
of the bill
There was much confusion relative to
the exact nature of the decision of the
supreme court yesterday and it was not
until late last night that the matter was
definitely determined in Birmingham. At
first it was thought the case had been
reversed and rendered by the court, finally
settling the matter, but later it was learn
ed that the court had remanded the case
to the city court.
The history of this litigation is well re-
membered, having occurred comparatively
recently. The legislature at its last SEES
sion adopted the act, and Fl. B. Alternately
and !. H. Benners were appointed judges.

NEW JERSEY LOSES
NO TINE ON CASE
NEGRO is CONVICTED AND SEN
FENCED TO HANG BUT LITTLE
T MORE THAN A MONTH AFTER
CRIME WAS COMMITTED.

Mount, Holly, N. j., February S.-Rufus
Johnson, the negro who was arrested
in Baltimore about a fortnight ago
charged with killing Miss Florence w.
Allison near Moorestown, N. j., on jan
uary IS was placed on trial today, con-
victed of murder in the first degree
tonight and Immediately sentenced to be
hanged two weeks from tomorrow. Be
cause of the atrocity of the negro $
crime it was feared by the authorities
that there would be a hostile demonstra-
tion against the defendant when he would
be brought into court, but no unseemly
incident marked the trial. Johnson, who
also had been in mortal fear of mob
violence. sat unmoved throughout the
proceedings.
johnson took the stand in his own de-
Tense and repeated the confession he
made in Baltimore. He denied that he
assaulted the woman and said he had
no intention of killing her When she
screamed on discovering him in the barn,
he choked her to prevent her from CIV

INFERIOR COURT CASE
REVERSED AND REMANDED

Later they were elected at general
election. They held court five or six
months and were ousted on quo warranIo
proceedings brought in the city court.
Judge Sem of the city court declared the
law unconstitutional. No appeal was tax
en-, and the old system of justices Of the
peace was resumed.
Later the supreme court decided that
the act establishing the inferior court OF
Geneva county was constitutional, and
upon examination 1t was found that the
acts for the Jefferson court and the Gen
eva court were of about the same nature
and had the same purposes. Then pro-
ceedings were again brought in the city
court, this time by the state in the rela-
tion of A. b. Perdue against Justice OF
the Peace Abernathy. Negatively, this
brought into question The legality and
eonstitutionality of the inferior court act,
and again Judge Sem decided that the
inferior court act was not constitutional.
A demurrer was taken to the supreme
court, the allegations being that the con-
stitutional requirement for the advertise
ment of local laws had not been COM
Piled with and the title of the act did not
fully state its objects and purposes. The
supreme court decided both allegations
were weak, and remanded the case.
The case is once more upon the records
of the city court. The situation Is about
the same as it was before the demurrer
was filed in the state supreme court.
What the next term in the matter will be
could not be learned last night.

GEARIN A FIGHTER.
How the New Senator From oregon
Had Six Men Hanged.

From the Washington Post.
Behind the mild manner and the
Chesterfeldian bearing of the new
Senator from Oregon, Hon. John M.
Gearin, there is personal courage and
daring such as few men possess, SAID
a former Oregonian in the lobby of the
New Willard.
Back in the sos, when Gearin was
a young prosecuting attorney, 1t be-
came necessary for him to try some
notorious criminals for murder They
were men who had terrorized a COM
munity, and counsel could not be en-
gagged to prosecute them, though they
were known to be assassins and out
laws. Gearin went forward with his
duty handicapped with a judge VINO
had become inundated on account Oh
receiving letters which threatened MS
life if he ruled against the defendants.
zach mornings mail brought to Gearin
similar communications, and on the
day he was to address the court he
got notice that if he dared denounce
the prisoners he would be killed.
"Rising deliberately when the time
came for him to talk. the young prose-
cutor paused. looked sternly into the
faces of the criminals, and for a mo-
ment at their band of sympathizers,
and said: Il have received notice that
IL speak of you murderers as you de-
serve and of your gang of cutthroats
as they should be branded'-pointins

death where | stand Now, before |

there is to be some shooting we will

caliber from his overcoat pocket, and,

tinued: 4 am ready, and if any of you
towards think you are going to shoot
me In the back, warn you that | shall
be facing you throughout my argument
and the first man who makes move
against either the judge or myself will

"A silence as of death followed, and
q chill settled upon that court room
that was hardly removed by the fervor
of the splendid speech made by Gearin,
the result of which was the conviction
OF six of them of murder in the first
degree. Their hanging later was the
first that had happened in that district
for years. and was due solely to the
courage of one man"

jackson, Miss, February S-(Special.) -
The report of the joint committee on uni
versities and colleges concerning affairs
at the A. & NJ. college, was as follows
1--WE reached the city of Starkville on
the afternoon of the 23rd of January, and
proceeded Immediately to the college for
the purpose of making the necessary in
spection, which was completed on the fol-
lowing day We found satisfactory condi-
tons prevailing in all departments, and
good work being done. The attendance
is large, the enrolment being $40 students
or thereabouts, including st-graduates
up to this date in the present session.
This is an increase of between 100 and
200 students, as compared with the same
time during the last session of the legis-
lature. The spirit of the student body
is good and their work is being character
lied by harmony and fellowship. The
chapel and academic building is an old
and dilapidated structure, tied and braced
together with metallic rods and wholly
incapable OF meeting the needs of this
growing institution. We find that Gen.
Stephen d. Lee in the two biennial re-
ports he last presented to the legislature
urged an appropriation for this purpose,
and that Governor John NJ Stone, In
his report to the legislature as president
of the college, six years ago, stated as his
deliberate judgment that new building
was an imperative necessity. President
Hardy has called attention to this need
in his previous biennial reports, but there
were so many more pressing requirements
that the board of trustees were COM
PEELED to defer the matter until the pres
ent session. Every appraising during the
past six years has recommended the erec-
ton of this building.

Lon Coanzond was arrested yesterday
by Policemen Hickman and Gates. His

The organ grinder was nabbed on
charge of obstructing the streets. The
location of the aforesaid obstruction was
not specified it was reserved for the

for the delectation of the judge. Suf-
flee it to say that the arrest was made,
and a motley aggregation Of men, women
and children, especially children, were
rudely Interrupted while enjoying the
antics of the monkey. Some OF the
crowd, like Mary's little lamb, followed
the monkey almost to the jail.
Prisoners at the city Jail are a care
free lot and amuse themselves in divers
ways. The wife murderers sing such melo-
dies as Home, Sweet Home" Negro
men and women who use razors and pis-
tolls often and generously MARBLE the
strains of Nearer My God to Thee" and
Lead Kindly Light" Yesterday the or
gan, the monkey and the man formed
a diversion. The man played the organ
and the monkey danced and Chartered
and did all sorts of funny tricks.
Late In the afternoon Frank Romeo
offered to get the trio out of jail by sign
ing the necessary bond, but the man
would not agree to it. He said he pre-
ferred to stay in the nice warm jail The
organ wheezed and groaned and the
monkeys chatterIng remarks relative to
the proposition could not be understood.
The trio spent the night in jail.
