HEARING OF sHIPP
CONVICTED MOONsHINER IS GOV-
 ERNMENTsS STAR WITNESS,
Chattanooga Newspaper Man Tells of sherIG's Efforts to DispeFse Mob and How He Was Finally
 Overp0weRed.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Feb. 15.-Today the government presented its most im- portant witness up to date in the hearing of evidence in the case of Sheriff J. F. Shipp and others charged with contempt of the United Statos Su- preme Court, growing out of the lyncll- ing of Ed. Johnson.
 Mrs. Ellen Baker, convicted moon- sinner, who was in the County jail at the time of the lynching, testified that the night the jailer warned her several hours before the lynching that John son would be hanged by a mob and advised her to remain close in her room. The government offered this testimony to show that the Sherir ought to have known that a Iynching was impending. The defense proved that the night jailer was on the jury that convicted the woman in Federal Court and undertook to show that her testimony was therefore not admissible.
 J. L.. Chivington q newspaper re- porter, Rev. Howard l.. Jones. Carl Rowden, who lives next door to the jail. and Captain J. Perry Fyffe, Cap tain of a local military company, were the other witnesses While thsse were examined as to many facts, their tes- timony in the main was to the effect that there was nothing to indicate that there was lynching on tapis and that the city was quieter on the night the mob took the negro from the jail than 1t had been since the crime.
 MT. Chivington told how SheriR shipp had gone to the jail immediately upon learning of the presence of the mob, how he was overcome by its members and finally locked up in q bath room of the jail The story of the mob's formation, It's gaining en- trance to the jail and the lynching were graphically told.

JAP CONTROVERSY
THE MATTER IS NOW UP TO
 CONGRESS-.
Mayor Schmitz and President Hoose- welt ReBeh an Agreement, San Francisco Executive Prov
 ing weak and Yielding.

Washington. Feb t3.-The Japanese school controversy is settled insofar as President Roosevelt. Mayor Schmitz and the members of the San Francisco School Board are concerned An ami- cable adjustment of the question now rests with Congress.
 If the amendment to the lmmigra- tion bill proposed by Secretary Root excluding foreigners who use their passports to secure admission to the United States Ito the detriment Of la- bor conditions in this country" Is ac- cepted by the Senate and House and the immigration bill Is passed at this session of Congress. the San Francisco Board of Education will rescind it's or der establishing the Oriental schools unless the Japanese government agrees to a proposition for separate schools which will provide equal facilities for the Japanese children.
 Mayor Schmitz and his associates had a conference with the President this afternoon and MT. Roosevelt was assured that the amendment to the im- migration bill was entirely sattsfac- tory to them. Secretary Root partioi- pated in the conference and made q report on his negotiations with the Republican leaders in Congress and the Japanese Ambassador.
 While Mayor Schmitz and the mem bers of the School Board are still hope full that Viscount Aokl, the Japanese Ambassador, will agree to separate schools in California, they stand will ing to reseind the order establishing the Oriental schools and again admit Japanese child 'en to the white schools.
 Mayor Schmitz today pointed out to President Roosevelt and Secretary Root the advantages that will be gained by the Japanese children If the Oriental schools are maintained and expressed a willingness to give the Japanese equal educational facilities to those given to the white children of San Francisco. If the Japanese government will agree to this proposition the School Board will establish a sufficient number of Oricn- tai schools to accomm0aa 6 the Japu- nese and will givo tir children ind'- viduai instruction. Mayor Srhmitz says that the Japanese make fG5ter progress in Oriental schools than they do in Che whit scAoul. 1Ud that m the mixed schools the Jgpanese only rt- tard the progress of tho white chii. dren.
 Another conference will be held at the White House Friday and In the meantime President Roosevelt hopes to be able to give Mayor Schmitz and his associates assurance that the im- migration bill including the exclusion amendment will be passed at this ses- sion of Congress.
 The only thing that will prevent an amicable settlement of the whole ques- ton on Friday will be the unwilling ness Of Congress to pass the immigra- ton bill. This, it can be stated on the highest official authority Is now the only possible hitch that can he en- eountered in the negotiations

NO SUB TREASURY

Failure of the Delegations t0 Agree on Location is Responsible for Action ef the COn-

Washington. Feb. 1s.--By a vote of 6 to the House Committee on Ways and Means today decided against the plan to establish a new sub-trGasury in the Southeastern States. The vote was not a strict party vote aAd the committee expressed its yympathy with the statement of Secretary Shaw that in the interest of economy several of the present sub-treasuries might be abolished.
 The failure of the delegation from the Southern States to agree upon the location for the proposed new sub treasury is generally believed to be re- sponsible for the adverse action by the Ways and Means Committee.

W. C. T. u. Meeting.

The W. G. T. U. met in regular
session last Friday. Besides other
matters of interest Mrs. L. 0. Tis-
del gave a very graphic report of
the state convention lately held at
Columbus in that city's handsom-
est church, st Lukes. The next
state convention will meet at At
Ianta and by that time it is expect
ed that the drinking fountain by
the w. G. T. U. will be erected in
memory of state prohibition. Mrs.
Tisdel pledged 1875 towards that
fund which will be easily raised in
this city when it is understood
that the names of our tOwnsmen
Hon. E. H. Dorminy and Hon. B.
e. Wilcox will be engraved on the
monument along with the names
of the author of the prohibition bill
Judge W. A. Covington and Hon.
Seaborn Wright who led the fight
in the legislature and all who vot-
ed for the bill. Mr.. Wilcox did
not vote for it because he was not
in the legislature at that time, but
he was the father of the Irwin
county prohibition bill and by his
valiant fight the bill was carried
and-his name will be on the
monument. Among other good
things Mrs. Tisdel told of the
pleased surprise all around when
Miss Anna Gordon, Worlds Supt.
of Loyal Temperance Legion work
was literally EMBODIED in one dollar
bills. Also of the beautiful loving
cup to the same lady and one
equally as nice to the National
President, Mrs. Stevens, of Maine.
Mrs. Sibley, one Of Georgia's most
gifted women, presented Mrs.
Stevens with acostly necklace from
the Holy Land, from which Mrs
Sibley had lately returned.

place, he began to rake the ashes from
the CRATE.
Within few minutes he had a fire
cracking where the bed of dead Gin
ders had been, and, having finished the
task, he rose slowly from his knees,
wiped his hands and crossed to the ta-
ble On the small spirit stove the ket-
tie had boiled, and the cover was lift
ing and falling with tinkling sound.
Blowing out the fame, Loder picked
up the teapot and, with hands that
were evidently accustomed to the task,
set about making the tea.
During the whole operation he never
spoke, though all the while he was
fully conscious of Chilcote's puzzled
gaze. The tea ready, he poured it into
the cup and carried it across the room.
Drink thisr' he said laconically.
"The fire will be up presently"
Chilcote extended cold and shaky
hand .sYou see he began.

the cold has still to be reckoned with.
Drink the tea I've something to say
to you' He mastered his vehemence
and, walking to the window, stood
looking down into the court. His eyes
were blank, his face hard; his ears
heard nothing but the faint sound Of
Chilcote's swallowing, the click of the
cup against his teeth.
For time that seemed interminable
he stood motionless; then, when he
Judged the tea finished, he turned
slowly. Chilcote had drawn closer to
the fire. He was obviously braced by
the warmth, and the apathy that rung
about him was to some extent dispel-
led. Still moving slowly, Loder went
toward him and, relieving him of the
empty cup, stood looking down at him.
"Chilcote," he said very quietly, "I've
come to tell you that the thing must
end"
After he spoke there was prolonged
pause: then, as if shaken with sudden
consciousness, Chilcote rose. The rug
dropped from one shoulder and hung
down ludicrously; his hand caught the
