Aged John Williams Must Go Back TO
CHllman to BE ReSentenced TO Death

restitution and proceeded. in company
with the sheriff of Cullman county, to
dispossess Williams. While engaged in
the matter a fight occurred in which pis-
tolls were used with the result that Hipp
was fatally shot. Williams was tried
and convicted of murder at the May
term of Cullman circuit court and sem
fenced to death His attorney. Erie
Pettus, took an appeal to the supreme
court. which affirmed the sentence and
fixed the day of Williams execution on
July p, 1906.
As there was very strong public
feeling against Williams and the author
tiles feared a lynching, the prisoner was
taken to Birmingham and confined in the
county Jail to await the day of execution
Meanwhile the sentiment of the people
of Cullman had gone round to the OPP
posite direction and a strong petition,
signed by 1000 citizens, including nine of
the jurors who had sat in his trial, was
submitted TO Governor Jelks, asking for
a communication of tho death sentence to
Imprisonment for life. After considering
the matter for some time the governor
refused to extend executive clemeney and
stated that the law should take its
course.
On July &c, the day before that set for
the execution writ of habeas corpus
was granted Williams upon the sworn
statement of his son, WHO stated that the
prisoner had become insane and was
then insane. Before Judge Weaver is
sued the writ the sheriff from Culman
arrived in Birmingham and went to the
jail for the prisoner. Williams, by some
means or other, had secured an iron bar
and with this weapon defled all attempts
on the part of the officers to enter his
cell. While this was going. on in the
diately thereafter the writ was served on
the sheriff. Governor Jelks ordered a re-
spite for one day. That passed the date
of the execution from July q to July 2S.
On the hearing of the habeas corpus
proceedings the question was the sanity
or insanity of the prisoner. and Judge
Weaver continued the case until August
G to consider whether an inquiry would
be ordered. Judge Weaver further main
tanned that as the prisoner was confined
in jefferson county he had Jurisdiction
in the case. AT this stage of the pro-
ceedings John Williams practically
dropped out of the case and it became a
question of law.

MANAGER WARD Is BUSY

Montgomery, April Especial THE
trustees of the state agricultural schools
at Jackson, Evergreen, Abbeville, Syla-
cauga and Wetumpl1a came here today to
go over matters of interest and impor-
lance to the schools with the governor,
the new executive not having had them
with him before. These boards, nine OF
them in all, one for each congressional
district, are made up of two local men
on each as representatives of the COM
munities, and the governor, the superin-
tendent of education and the commissioner
of agriculture. This, it is seen, gives
majority at the capital in every case. and
makes it possible to control the schools
outside of local prejudices and conten-
TONS as is often the case with schools.
The legislature gave each of the schools
additional appropriations in the sum OF
$4,000 year, making the amounts to each
$500. The law requires that they shall
teach literary branches and agriculture,
and that each one shall maintain an ex-
pertinent station. For this reason they
are inspected just before each meeting of
the trustees, and at other times by the
superintendent of education. and the com
missioner of agriculture, who make report
to the governor, SO that the capitol force
is well posted on what is being done when
the meetings take place. 1t is anticipated
that with the increased appropriations
there will be great deal of branching
out in the work.

English Opinion On Cruise.

London, Dec.-The daily newspapers are publishing long accounts from their New York correspondents on the preparations for the cruise of Rear Admiral Evans fleet, but refrain from commenting upon it's significance, ex- cept in the naval columns, in which experts discuss the advisability of test ing the resisting power of ships to the wear and tear of long voyage. Naval officials agree that this, al- though expensive, is desirable, and al so that the cruise of the Ameican battleships will afford good training for the officers and men. The Out look, a weekly publication, on the other hand, returns to the discussion of the political significance of the movement. In a long article it says. :. "The building up of the states on the Pacific slope, the annexation of Ha- waii, the growth of American com merce in the Far East by the purchase of the Philippines and the rise of Japan, have reacted upon the des tinies of America with ever increas- ing intensity. As possible battle ground in the future, it is no longer the Atlantic. but the Pacific that claims American thought" The Sun day Observer, says that it is difficult to believe that the Pacific cruise of the American fleet is dictated by purely professional reasons. The plain fact is, says the Observer, "that the cruise is political reconnois- sance of force in view. of the rise of Japan. The fleet bears the American flag to the Pacific as symbol Of power and an expression of the na- tional will that it will defend and de- velop American interests"

BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE
Form-Patient Despaired of Cure Cuticusa Remedies Cured Her.

About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of -. After thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became de- spondent and decided to discontinue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuti- cura Remedies for six months, and
 after that ever splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E. Sledge, $40 Jones Ave-, Selma, Ala, Oct. 2S, 1905."

May AnnuI Titles.

Washington, Dec.-Senators Teller, Curtis and LaFollette, composing a committee to investigate the affairs of the Kickapoo Indians, will soon submit to the Senate report giving the names of several parties who are alleged to have dealt fraudulently with the Kickapoos, who emigrated to Mex ico and who disposed of their lands at Shawnee, Okla. The report mentions a clique known as the Chapman Grimes Conine people" and says that their conduct in securing the valua- ble lands owned by the Mexican Kick apoo Indians was criminal and brutal in the extreme. It is recommended that a special attorney be appointed, who shall act under the direction of the department of Justice in enter ing suits to set aside all deeds to KICK apoO lands. The alleged criminal acts of the men mentioned in the report ap- pear to be very hard to deal With in the opinion of the committee, for the reason that most of them were com mitted in Mexico.

DAMAGED THE EMPEROR
A New Trial To Be Held On Case of German Editor and Findno of
 Lower Court Wiped Out.

Berlin, Dec.-The effort of Count Kuno von Moltke to vindicate him. self in the trial which resulted from accusations made by Maximillian Har- den, editor of Die Zukunft, having failed before the minor court, the case Will now be taken up by the states } attQ4ney before criminal bench of five judges.
 The second trial of Herr Harden Will begin at once and fresh reyela- tions are awaited with tense expec- tancy, as it is believed that much new testimony will be brought out con- corning the so-called "camarilla" sur rounding the emperor Prince Phil lip Zu Gutenberg, Count Won Molt- kes divorced wife, Frau Von Elbe, and her son, Lieutenant Won Krusse, are among the witnesses who will be called.
 It is by no means certain that the judges will allow the testimony to take range wide enough to elicit secrets of court or of anything that may touch directly the person of the emperor.
 The causes that have brought about a new trial by the ministry of justice are somewhat obscure, but it has been regarded by the sober part of the com munity that Von Moltke was not we'll supported in the first trial.
 The powerful classes have felt that they were compromised by the pro- ceedings and verdict of the lower court. The officers of the corps re sented the broad assertion against the morality and honor of the army and strong royalists felt ~that the principle of monarcny had lost pres tige. The conservatives generally re garded the country as having been damaged in foreign eyes. Whatever may have been the consideration, the ministry of justice simply wiped out the findings of the magistrate and took up the affair as though 1t had never been tried before, instituting proceeding against Herr Harden for having criminally wronged Count Won Moltke. Efforts have been made at the eleventh hour to compromise the case, but Herr Harden declined to sign the declaration demanded by Won Moltke.
