city firemen.

SUSPENDED OVER GULF.
Tropical Storm Makes Slow Progress
Toward the North

Advices received late this afternoon ut
the weather bureau from the far couth in
aicate that the tropical storm which was
reported in The Star yesterday is still over
the Gulf of Mexico and moving slowly
northward. Storm flags are flying along
the gulf and Florida coasts as warnings to
ship owners that it will be dangerous for
heir craft to put to sea at this time. This
hurricane has not yet reached the coast
but at last reports was several hundred
miles off shore. 1t is not known definitely
what direction the disturbance will take
after it reaches terra firma. Prof Garriott
informed Star reporter late this afternoon
that it is probable that rainfall will set
in tomorrow evening in this vicinity.
The storm last night passed into the
Gulf of Mexico from the Yucatan channel.
Its influence as yet has only been felt on
the south Florida coast, where high south
eastery winds blowing. The strong
area Of high pressure that ovel res the
northeastern part of the United States will
serve a check to the rapid movement of
the tropical disturbance northward. A
strong disturbance is moving northeastward
from the Dakotas into the British possess
sionS.
Storm warnings are displayed on the
south Florida peninsula. and advisory mes
sages have been sent by the weather bu-
reau to all gulf ports. Storm warnings are
also displayed on Lake Superior.

UNDUE METHODS NOT EMPLOYED
Statement in Regard to Bar Associa-
ton Meeting.

A number of lawyers who participated in
the proceedings of the Bar Association yes
terday denied today that the supporters of
Justice Stafford resorted to undue methods
in order to secure his Endorsement by that
body.
1t was asserted by one attorney that the
contest between the friends of the two JUS
tees was really subordinate in point of in
terest to the decision of the association to
take definite stand in the matter That
departure from the long established Gus
tom, he said, was of prime Importance as
bearing upon the future policy of the asso-
citation.
This statement was made following the
announcement that several prominent at
torneys had taken steps with a view of call
ing a meeting of the members of the Dis
trict bar, irrespective of the Bar Associa-
ton, for next Saturday to consider the
matter of indorsing a candidate for the ap-
pellate bench. After the project had been
discussed at some length it was stated that
In all proba bility it would be carried out.
While the proposed meeting is, of course,
to be open to the consideration of any
candidate, the movement to hold it was
started in the interest Of Justice Gould by
his supporters, who assert that the action
yesterday was not representative of the
sentiment of the legal fraternity. About
300 members Of the District bar are now
in the city, and 1t Is expected that there will
be a full attendance.

With Officers.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, September 25-
Thirty-five negro prisoners, including eight
cen murderers, two of whom are sentenced
to die, rebelied against the jailer at the
Knox county Jail last night. refusing to go
from the corridor into their cells. For two
hours they kept the officers at bay.

the officers were hit with bottles thrown by
the prisoners, and C. A. Reeder. jr.. aged
twelve years, son of the sheriff, slightly cut
The jailers turned the hose on the refrac-
tory negroes, but this frenZied them. The
negroes finally captured the hose and turn
ed it on the officers, and then attacked the
latter with bottles, plates, cups and saucers
and with broom handles on the ends of
which open knives were fastened.
Three of the officers were hemmed in by
the negroes and had to draw their pistols
in order to get out of range of the bottle
The arrival of the sheriff and police finally
quelled the negroes. The-rouble is said to
have resulted from the negroes reading of
the Atlanta riot.

MAI. ARMIES PROTESTS.
Objects to Methods Employed IN
Grading Near His Home.

Maj. George A. Armes, U. s. A, retired,
of Fairfield" on Connecticut avenue ex-
tended, was a visitor at the Office of the
District Commissioners this morning with
a complaint that he was not being given
fair treatment in the grading of the streets
in the vicinity of his home. He talked for
a time with Commissioner Mcfarland, and
later left a communication with Secretary
Tindall.
Maj Armes later gave a reporter of The
Star copy of the communication, in which
it was stated that he protested against
the waste and unnecessary expenditure OF
money intrusted to the Commissioners for
grading and improving the public roads
and avenues in the suburban section of the

city" He claims that a force of laborers
is at work in front of his home removing
cobblestone gutter which, he states, is in
good condition. He wants the work stopped
before the department is involved in
controversy
Mai. Armes declares that eff the engf-
neers are incompetent and lack judgment
in laying out the work that requires a
large expenditure of money, I would sug-
have the largest practical experience in
public work"
Maj. Armes states: IF Congress should
order an investigation it would appear that
all the necessary earth to fill can be had
at one point where needed at one-quarter
the expense involved in cutting down the
grade and running my home at Grant road"

An Official Statement.

An interview with Maj. Williamson of the
state militia, who commanded the raid in
Brownsville today, resulted in a statement,
substantially as follows:
Following the attack on force of county
police last night, it was decided to raid
what is known as Brownsville, including
Clark University, an institution for negroes,
which has in the past received large sup
port from northern philanthropists. With
two companies of state militia, the Cover
nor's Horse Guards and a force of county
police and citizens, specially sworn in as
deputies, Maj Williamson carefully dis
posed his force during the late hours of the
night, surrounding with skirmish line the
entire section, covering about fifteen acres.
when daylight came and the negroes
emerged from their homes they were ordered
to hold up their hands. Few had the temer-
ity to disobey. Not single shot was fired by
the troops, the only shot being fired by citl-
zen deputy, which wounded a negro in the
foot. The too jealous officer was placed
under arrest for dsobeying orders In this
way about 400 negroes were captured,
including professors and students of Clark
University, and other negroes not con-
nected with the institution. Each one was
searched carefully. If a prisoner was I'M
able to give plausible account Of himself,
If he was armed or manifested belligerent
disposition he was put under arrest and
sent to the Fulton county Jail.

WANTED NAME FOR BABY.
Woman at Public Directory Kept Many Business People
 . Waiting.

A stylishly dressed and altogether good looking woman was turning over ! the leaves of the directory in leisure ly manner when an irascibIe old gen. | tleman, known to his many acquaint. ances as man with a very small stock of patience, entered, relates the Portland Express. He wished to use the directory, too, possibly to look up the address of man who owed him money. He stood about, now and then casting, heavy looks in the direction of the directory, and coughing suggest ively. < f Vi
 A business man in hurry followed. He wanted to know where Walter Jones lived. It is block or two away, but he has forgotten the number. He fell into line
 Then man who sought some city official, but knew nothing of his office, except that it closed in few minutes, joined the ranks of walters.
 Still the woman placidly turned over leaf after leaf, without any apparent intention to decide whether the name she was seeking was Brown, Smith or Jones.
 V Finally, when matters were begin ming to grow very tense, young man rushed in. His mission would positive .ly admit of no delay, so he politely of- fered to assist the woman, suggesting that his experience might tend to save time and lessen her labor. When he asked her what she sought, with sweet smile full of appreciation, she replied: !, 'Oh,; thank you. You are very kind. ! am trying to find real pretty name for my baby" '
