TWO NEGROES ARE
ARRESTED AS KING
MARSHAL COWART OF CAMP HILL
ARRIVED LAST NIGHT WITH
ONE OF WHOSE IDENTITY HE'S
CERTAIN.

c. A. Cowart, marshal of Camp HILL
reached Birmingham last night with a
negro whom he feels certain will prove to
be Henry King, the murderer of Police
man James II. Mullins. He bases this be-
lief on the fact that the description marks
and measurements of the alleged King
agree exactly with those of the one want
ed for the murder.
What led to the negro's arrest at Camp
Hill was the theft of a pair of trousers
and two shotguns. And the arrest itself,
according to the marshal, was no easy
matter 1t took two men to overcome
the negro, for he was not awed into sub
mission by the sight of a large-szed Colt i;
ON the contrary he pulled one himself and
. but for the quick use of his frsts the
F. marshal says he would have been too late.
+; There is a reward of $500 For two days
and nights the marshal guarded his pris-
oner himself, and last night, feeling a lit
. tie tired, he and his friends, A. B. Lee
and James Herd of Camp Hill, who helped
bring the prisoner here, one of whom, 1t
is said. is claiming the reward, got a
safe room, as was specified at hotel
until this morning when they will go
back to Camp HILL
That Marshal Cowart had no intention
of letting the supposed King get away
was evidenced by a chain he pulled from
his pocket and showed at police headquar-
tiers, or rather which he started to pull
from his pocket 1t may be described as
the proverbial endless chain, for only
seven or eight yards of II was seen. How
ever, the marshal said he had not found
It expedent TO use the chain as they had
some handcuffs and three guns along
This was the second Henry King locked
UP in the city Jail on yesterday. The first
one was brought in at 4;30 p m. by Po-

Dubois had been one or the most con-
sistent advocates of legislation for the
reclamation of the arid regions.
Clifford II. Pinchot of Washington, chief
of the forestry division of the department
of agriculture, who was announced as the
bearer of a letter of greeting to the
congress from President Roosevelt was
introduced. Mr.. Plnchot stated tnat lie
appeared merely as the Presidents mes
senger boy.
As soon as the applause which followed
the reading of the Presidents lei ter had
subsidized Vice President Fairbanks was
introduced. The delegates arose, and 1t
was several minutes before the vice presi-
dent could be heard.
