From three to six O'Clock, on

CANT social function, with the
higher joys of a rare intellectual
and literary feast. On behalf of
the Southern Association of Col
lege Women, Mrs. Brown and
Miss Deaton, themselves nota-
bic examples of what the higher
education is doing for woman
hood, entertained Misses Orr
and Paisley of the |. I. & c. Fac

brilliant daughters.

cious and charming hospitality,
when the eager, expectant guests
began arriving at three o'clock.
Inc hostesses were assisted in

students of the University, who
with sweet girlish charm or quiet
womanly dignity condueed to the
pleasure of all present.
Passing from the reception
hall and parlor, the guests were

mercial Appeal.
Dear Sir-Your special to The
Commercial Appeal of Jan, s,
with reference to the report OF
the rivers and harbors 81 sineer-
ing board concerning ths deep
ening of the channel % tie Tom-
bigbee river between Columbus.
Miss, and Demopolis, Ala, has
been called to my attention by [.
II. Sykes, ,Isecretary of the Colum-
bus Progressive League. In
letter accompanying the inclosure
Mr.. Sykes states that he is at 8
loss to understand certain state
ments in your article.
After reading your article find
that you were under a misap pre-
hension in your statement in re
gard to the steamer Tally. You
said that it was charge
by the local engineers that mac
curaeies and misleading figures
and statements were mole E : the
Progressive League, one in par
ticuIar being that the steamer
Tally, which was reported to
have carried 10000 tons in 1905.
MAJ. r Jervov, of the corps OF
engineers, submitted with his re-
port a letter from Mr.. Kennerly,
an employe of his office, showing
that the Tally at that time was
wreck. On reading the reports
printed on the subject, find
that the statement .as to the
steamer Tally was made by the
Tombigbee river Improvement
committee of Columbus is a let
ter dated Jan. II, 1906, and not
by the Progressive Lea que, as
stated in your article of Jan. 4
Hence the Progressive League
was not responsible for this state
ment, but the Improvement CON-
mittee; and, knowing these gen.
tlemen as | do, |. feel sure they
will justify their statement, and
| feel confident the Progressive
League can sustain their
statements made in the statistics
furnished. ] have secured a
hearing before MIR. Burton, chair
man of the rivers and harbors
committee, and expect a delega-
ton here from Columbus in a few
days to furnish facts and figures
to sustain the statistics now on
file. | did not see your article
until Mr.. Sykes sent it to me.
and knew nothing of its contents.
I feel that these facts should be
ublished, IN view of the other
publication, and will appreciate
it if you will send this TO your
paper. Yours truly,

TAYLOR ESCAPES TRIAL
IN SUIT BY COCHRANEs
One of the Actions Against
Sheriff Is Dismissed
on Technically
OTHER CASE STANDS
Judge Weller Denies the
Motion Made to Have
Charge Quashed
OTHER CASE STANDS

The actions against Sheriff Taylor of
Marin. County on charges of criminal
libel preferred by the Cochrane broth
ers occupied attention yesterday in two
of the police courts. Judge Cabaniss
dismissed one of the cases against
Taylor on the ground that the testi-
mony had shown that he had protested
against the publication of bis letter to
NJ f. Cochrane, which letter furnished
the basis of the suits, and which will,
say the Cochranes. furnish the foun-
dation of more to come Judge Weller
denied the motion of the defense for
a dismissal and the case in his court
will be heard upon its merits.
Judge Cabaniss' findings were ex-
pressed clearly and logically. He de-
clared that he was sorry that he could
not decree that the case charging Tay-
lor with criminal libel should proceed
upon its merits, and that technical
ity which had interposed precluded
such hearing.
The more the case proceeded, Judge
Cabaniss stated, the deeper grew his
sympathy with the prosecution which
was seeking vigorously to proceed with
the evidence as to the truth or the
falsity of Sheriff Taylor's statement
charging p. II. Cochrane with having
/ nanuleQ a S9vvV DliDS NSeAi III liz -
/ case.
The prosecution" said Judge Cab
aniss. has left absolutely nothing un-
/ done to bring the case before the bar

willing to deny the motion TO dismiss

strikes the reputation of the complain
/ ing witness in a very vital spot, and
in fact. in many places, because there
are quite a number of accusations in
volved. all of them very prejudicial to
a mans reputation.
Il am sorry particularly" continued
the court, because / cannot see my
way TO give the complaining witness
an opportunity to do that which he
says he is seeking here and which he
apparently is seeking very Industrious
/ " and very sincerely, namely, to vim
dicate his reputation so far as it may
need vindication as a result of this
newspaper publication"
Judge Cabaniss concluded by stating
/ that the law forced him TO dismiss the
case in spite Of his reluctance to do So.
The motion to dismiss the case
against Taylor in Judge Weller's court
was backed by a brief submitted by
Hiram johnson, one of the accused
Sherif's attorneys. In denying the
motion to dismiss Judge Weller de-
clared that the court had jurisdiction
and that the case would be heard. 1t
will come up tomorrow afternoon, when
the defense will produce witnesses TO
refute the statements made by the evil
/ dence adduced by the prosecution This
suit is brought against Taylor by NJ. F.
/ Cochrane.

MURDERER RAYNOR'S
SENTENCE IS COMMITTED
Home Secretary Moved by
Widespread Sympathy
in England

LONDON. March 30.-It was an
nounced today that as result Of the
popular agitation in favor Of a reprieve
for Horace G. Raynor. who on January
"a killed William Whitley, the we'll
knOwn merchant, Home Secretary Glad
stone had advised the King TO COM
mute the death sentence to life i'm
prisOnment at penal servitude.
The King almost invariably acts
upon the Home Secretarys advice, and
therefore RaynOr's reprieve may be re-
garded as an accomplished fact. The
exercise OF the royal influence Of mercy
IS probably due TO the public feeling
against nursing a dying man back to
life only TO reserve him for the hang
mans moose, together with the sym
pathy for the prisoners wife, who is
ibOut TO be accouched.
