FURNISHES WORLD
WITH SULPHUR

NEW ORLEANS, La, March L
The report Of the Italian Government
that the production of sulphur IN
Louisiana threatens the Scicilian SUI
phur industry was today commented
on here as we'll taken. According to
published reports the sulphur mines
in Western Louisiana produce l,ooo
tons per day, and Louisiana can fur
nish all the sulphur at present requlr'
ed for use of the world. The compar-
alive cheapness Of the American pro-
duct commented on in the Italian re-
port is due largely to the mining pro
cess, which consists in sinking tubes
into the sulphur beds, pumping not
water into them, and thus bringing
the product to the surface in liquid
form.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 1S.-The
San Francisco Board Of Education.
keeping its word with President
Roosevelt. today unanimously rescind-
ed the resolution OF last October by
which Japanese we're segregated in
the public schools and adopted an al
tentative resolution in accordance with
the understanding reached at the
Washington conference between the
President. Secretary Root, the
School Board and Mayor Schmitz. The
Board then sent the following tele-
gram to President Roosevelt:
"At a regular meeting of the Board
of Education, held this afternoon,
resolution as agreed upon with you
was adopted unanimously. Certified
copy was given to United States Dis
trict Attorney Devlin."
The President, having teleeraphed
Mayor Schmitz yesterday that he
would direct Mr.. Devlin to dismiss the
suits against the Board in the United
States Circuit and Supreme Court OF
California as soon as the action stat
ed should be taken by the Board,
members of that body look upon the
Japanese incident as now closed in so
far as San Francisco is concerned.
There is, however, it is stated, an I'M
written reservation to the effect that
should the Presidents reciprocal
PROMISES to the Board regarding dis
cretionary restriction Of coolie immi-
grafton to California not be carried
out, the Board may feel at liberty to
readopt the October resolution and
again segregate the Japanese.

and Phillip Strother, who have been
on trial here for the past two weeks
charged with the murder Of their
brother-in-law, VIM. F. Bywaters, were
today pronounced not guilty by the
jury. The twelve men who tried the
case spent an hour and thirty-two
minutes in reaching their verdict.
The court convened at $3.50 o'clock,
and eight minutes later the case was
in the hands of the jury
Then began the most trying test OF
the ordeal for the defendants. The
strain was most apparent on the face
of Phillip Strother the younger de-
PENDANT, while James apparently was
confident of a favorable verdict. He
sat in silence listening to the COM
ments of his counsel, and occasionally
offered words of consolation to his
wife. who sat by his side.
AS the minutes sped by the situa-
ton became more strained, many in
the court room taking the delay as
an unfavorable sign for the accused.
Judge Harrison paced restlessly up
and down the narrow space behind
his bench while the counsel for both
sides gathered to discuss the mean
ing of what seemed to them delay.
At precisely 11:10 o'clock the jury
men, preceded by Sheriff Bowersett,
filed into the court room and took
their accustomed seats A silence fell
over the court room as the spectators
awaited the announcement of the YER
dict.
Gentlemen of the jury" asked Dep
uty Clerk Gilkerson, have you agreed
upon a verdict?"
1--WE have" replied Foreman Price,
handing the verdict to the court OF
fetal
1--WE find the defendants, James
and Phillip Strother, not guilty" was
the message read aloud by Clerk G1lk'
erson.
The announcement was the signal
for an outburst of approval, which
Judge Harrison quickly silenced. Jas
Strother reached for the hand OF Mr.
Moore, one of his counsel and Phillip
was quickly surrounded by his friends
who have stood by the brothers since
the opening of the trial. Mrs. James
strother, overcome by emotion, Eel
forward into her husbands arms, sob
bling. When the effects OF the crit
ical moment passed, Judge Harrison
addressed the jury as follows:
Gentlemen Of the JURY thanh
YOU for a verdict which l think will
be approved by the public. 1t is an es
tablished precedent in the State OF
Virginia that no man tried for defend
ing the sanctity of his home should
be found guilty"

WIN. J. BRYAN
SAYS REPUBLICAN LEADERS BOW
: TO r. r. MAGNATEs.
Great Corporations Prefer Govern
ment Control to Laws Enacted
BY Legislatures Of the
States.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 14.-Wm-
J. Bryan spent an hour here. en- route
from Beaver. Pa, 70 Binghamton to-
day. He was asked:
What is your opinion Of the pro
posed conference between President
Roosevelt and the railroad Presi-
dents?"
Mr.. Bryan replied:
The Republican leaders object to
the doctrine, with the consent of the
governed in the Philippines, but some
of them seem to think nothing can be
done in the regulation of railroads
without the consent of the railroad
magnates. The important part OF that
announcement, however, is that the
railroad managers want the super
vision Of the railroads transferred to
the Federal Government, that they
may avoid State Legislation and this
coptradicts the Presidents theory
that the corporations favor State
rights as a means Of avoiding Federal
control
THE great corporation would much
rather risk control by Congress, which
is far away from the people, than by
State Legislatures, which are close
to the people"

COLOR line
WILL NOT BE DRAWN BY POST
OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
White and Negro Mail Clerks Must
Work, Eat and Sleep Under as
They Find Conditions.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
Postofice Department does not In
tend to draw the color line in the mat
ter of white and negro railway mail
clerks working together on the same
runs. Although an intimation mas
been given the Superintendent OF the
railway mail service that white clerks
in the Middlewest are preparing TO re-
ouest the Department to effect
change so as to put the negroes on
runs which will not bring them IN
proximity to the whites, 1t was stat
ed today that no such discrimination
could or would be made.
The particular objection which II
is said that white clerks have in the
association with the negroes on long
rms is they are obliged to eat and
sleep in the same car, the regulations
of the Department permitting clerk
on such run when his work is up TO
rest At certain terminals there are
provided dormitories in public build
iugs where the clerks may stay IL they
GEO fl TO do so. but these are open to
the negro clerks as well as to the
whites and the Department does not
see wherein It has any province in the
matter.

MEMPHIS FIGHT
HOLDS THEsSTAGE
LEGISLATION AT a sTANosTILL
TILL 1T Is DISPOSED or.
HAPPENINGS OF WEDNESDAY
Interview BY Mr.. carmaek Causes
Some Talk-GoVernor Patterson's
comment-Senator Talbert Says
Present Charter Has Parslyzed
Progress.

Interest in and excitement over the
Memphis charter fight grows apace,
but the result Of the issue is appar-
emily as doubtful as ever. although
leaders on both sides continue to make
extravagant claims. Naturally two
constructions are put upon the play
for delay made by the charter advo-
Gates. One side claims that the de-
lay was taken merely to make assur-
ance doubly sure, while the other
faction reports that the desire for
further delay is strong evidence of
the weakness Of the cause.
All sides are hoping that the fight
will soon end. Until it is over bust
ness in the Legislature is practically
at a standstil Efforts were made
Wednesday night to hold committee
meetings, but the meetings that mater
ialized were very SHINY attended and
little interest could be aroused in the
proceedings 1t was stated by sup
porters of the bill Wednesday night
that there would be no further effort
to delay action, but that the measure
would be finally disposed of tomor-
row.
A bitter interview by Senator Car
mack on Wednesday caused much
talk. Naturally it was viewed from
two wholly different and conflicting
standpoints. Supporters of the bill
said that the interview has done their
cause no harm On the contrary some
even claim that it will help them. On
the other hand the opponents OF the
bill declared that the interview had
strengthened their cause.
Under the action taken by the
House Wednesday the bill will not be
taken up until tomorrow. 1t does not
necessarily follow, however, that 1t
will be taken up that day. as 1t was
not set for special order, the mo-
ton merely being to postpone further
consideration until Friday. The Dill
then takes it's place on the regular
calendar but being a Senate bill 1t
will be reached early Friday morning
unless displaced by some special or
der.
