ALABAMA BOY HAzEp.
Hridshfpman Bryant of Canton Bend
 Stood on His Head.


 Stood on His Head. Annapolis. Md. Jan. 5.--The trial O Midshipman Peterson B. MarZioni, O Pennsylvania, a member of the frs class. on the charge of hazing Mid shipman Chaster s. Roberts, of Joliett ILL, member of the fourth class, be. gan this morning after the record of yesterdays proceedings had been adop. ted
 The charge is supported by five spec- ifications. each alleging a separate in cident of hazing In which Roberts was the victim. Roberts was also the al- legged sufferer in the incidents on which are based all four of the speci- fications in Fosters case. the trial of which was completed yesterday
 Marzionf Is being defended by Mir. George H. Mann. an attorney of New York city, who was a member of the class of 1895. Naval Academy.
 The naval courtmartial opened the proceedings by verifying the record in the case of Midshipman Worth w Fos- ter. whose trial on charge of hazing Midshipman Chester s. Roberts has been This occupied over an hour The court then took up the case of Marzioni.
 The charge and six specifications were read. The first specification al- leges the hazing of Chester S. Roberts by compelling him to perform number 16." Roberts is the same midshipman whom Foster is accused of hazing
 The second and third specifications allege that Marizoni hazed fourth class man Benjamin W. Tyre, of Atlanta. Ga, by compelling him to bring the ac- cused breakfast on different occasions.
 The last three charges are in con- nection with the alleged hasing of Mid shipman Albert c. Bryant, of Canton Bend. Ala, fourth class man. They are that Marzioni compelled him to bring him his breakfast, to stand on his head about twenty times. and per- form No 16" about fifty times.

| he wants, he then seeks power in on form or another and when Conner. by | joining forces with the cotton specuta- | tors, mas grown rich by the sweat of | the brow of the farmer, he actually attempts to ride into office upon their shoulders. Here is a man who was one of the spinners who several years ago.. with the aid of the Wall Street gamblers. forced the price of cotton down to A cents. And now he openly boasts that he is rich man. Farmers, do you wonder at it? When cotton was
 selling at cents per pound, Conner paid you about $30 bale for 1t, took 1t to his mill, where he paid helpless
 women and children an average of
 into cloth--and now he is a wealthy man.
 1t is said Conner is fighting the raii-
 love for the farmers. and wants 10 help them. but because the railroads charged him with shipping flour In meal sacks and thereby securing the cornmeal rate. It is power Conner is seeking He had his heel upon the necks of the farmers when cotton was down to { cents and tried just as hard the life out of King Cotton at that critical period-and now has the ef- frontery to ask the farmers to vote for him for Governor of Alabama and elect a Conner Legislature to support him.
 If Conner Is elected Governor and fails to secure reduction in freight rates, he will no doubt tell the people that he is powerless to help them as Gov ernor, but give him more power and he will secure the reform" TT you will send me to Congress" Conner will say, will make the reform national"
 Corners sole purpose Is to harrass the railroads. the institutions which have done more to develop Alabama than any other factor in the State. The railroads distribute more money in wages in six months time than all of the cotton factories pay In as many years. The railroads are maintaining an immigration bureau at Birmingham for the purpose of bringing desirable farmers to the State to cultivate the waste farm lands and this movement alone is worth more to the farmers than anything Conner can do for them. It will have the effect of enhancing land values and many farmers who are now poor will become. comparatively rich.
 The salvation of the agriculturists of Alabama does not lie In swinging onto the coattaiI of Bragg Conner of Bir- mingham, but in cutting out politics entirely, supporting the Southern Cot ton Association, and steering clear of the political rocks which wrecked the Grange and the Farmers Alliance. .

Conner and the Farmer.

The Alabama Farmer.
 The Alabama Farmer has no desire to butt into politics on general lines but when B. E. Conner attempts to pull the wool over the eyes of the farmers of Alabama, we feel justified in get ting into the fight.
 Any close observer can see that Conner Is playing a shrewd game of politics, The freight rate question Is one which the average man knows little about. and Conner Is working 1t for all 1t Is worth.
 When he was running for President of the Railroad Commission he prom ised. if elected, to cause a reduction in freight rates. He has made miser- able failure as a freight rate reducer, but says he can carry out his promises to the farmers if elected Governor with a Conner Legislature.
 Conner is traveling over the state telling the farmers that he is a rich man and is not running for Governor because he needs a job, but because he wants to help them secure just freight rates.

large wagon loaded with scrap iron and railroad brass is in charge of the police awaiting a claimant, While Of- ficers Brown and Williams were pa trolling their beat on Twenty-sixth Street and First Avenue, they noticed a negro attempting to force a horse along under a heavy load. They walked to- ward the wagon and Officer Brown said to the negro: Don't you think you have too large 8 load?" The response was in the nature of an exhibition of the rabbit nature in the negro. He looked around. saw the bluecoats, jump ed from the wagon and began a rapid retreat. The officers began the chase and fired several shots in the air in an attempt to bring the negro to a halt. This method did not have the desired effect and after he had been chased for some blocks the negro evaded the off, cers and has not yet been caught. Upon returning to the wagon 1t was discov- cred that it was loaded with scrap iron and brass. It was taken to police headquarters and is now in the hands of the police. Identification of the wagon Is awaited and interesting devel- opments may result That the negro stole the stuff is thought a certainty by the officers on account of his ac- tions.

A Grand Subject.

Richmond News Leader.
 The fund for the erection of statue of Father Ryan in Mobile, Ala and for which The Register of that city Is re- ceiving subscriptions, is growing, but not as rapidly as 1t should. It is earn estly to be hoped, however. that the promoters of the movement will perse- were until a sufficient sum has been guaranteed to justify the commission ing of q sculptor capable of not only producing a portraiture. but of DOT traying the spirit of the Poet Priest of the Confederacy." The subject is a grand one for the exercise of that subtle genius by which through pose. expression and ideaIizatIon without sacrifice of portrait lines, plastic art may be made to tell the story of a life. It's motives and it's aspirations The spirit of Father Ryan was the spirit of the cause he espoused and in sym pathy with which every fibre of his be- ing and every action of hts soul pull sated. He trumpeted it's triumphs in soaring exultant, inspiring epic and consecrated its woes in waiting threnody. From an absorbing realiza- ton of this the sculptors conception must be born In order to fulfill the ar tistic, sentimental and historic demands of the task, and perpetuate the memory of Father Ryan as it Is embalmed In the hearts of the Southern people.

 Anniston, Jan. 5.--(Special. )-The jury in the case of William Cline. charged with the murder of J. E. Phil lips, rendered a verdict of guilty in the second degree shortly after noon. The jury recommended a sentence of twen- ty-five years and Judge Pelham acted accordingly. The execution of the sent ,ence, however, was suspended for ap- peal to the Supreme Court.
 Cline, when asked by the court if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed, replied that he had not had a fair trial owing to the absence of material witnesses
 The murder of Phillips occurred in December on a highway while Phillips was returning from Anniston, where his son had completed a runaway marriage with Cline's daughter. After few words Cline emptled the contents of a shotgun into the head of Phillips, kill ing him instantly.
 Cline was arrested the next day by a posse of citizens Of that community and brought to Oxford, where he was turned over to the authorities. He was lodged in jail here to await trial.
