Mobiles Withdrawal.

The rumor concerning Mobile s
contemplated withdrawal from the
Cotton States League is being freely
discussed around the circuit. AS has
already been stated in The Dispatch,
the national agreement provides that
if a league in any class shall select
a city in which club of lower clas-
sification is located, that such club
shall then be required to pay to the
league of which said club is a mem
Der the sum of $500. Under the
provisions of this rule Mobile cannot
withdraw from the Cotton States
League without paying the above
sum, unless the consent of each club
is obtained. 1t is said, however, that
Mobile will seek to get around this
clause by a simple swap of franchises,
Shreveport taking the Mobile fran
chise in the Cotton States and Mo-
bile taking the Shreveport franchise
in the major league. But this can
not be done without the consent of
the Cotton States directors, and it
seems highly probable that they will
demand a cash bonus before entering
into such an agreement.
Should Mobile leave the league and
be succeeded by Shreveport, it is
probable that other changes would
follow. The retirement of Mobile
would serve to practically emasculate
Gulfport, as the two places are close
and to a degree segregated
from the other cities composing the
league. 1t is said that in the event
takes Mobiles place, Mon
roe, La. will probably succeed Gulf
port. Natchez and Hattiesburg are
also said to be clamoring for admis-
sion to the ranks of the Cotton Pick
ers, and not until the annual meeting
of the directors. which is several
weeks distant, will the final outcome
be known.

The pickens County High school

There is a spirited fight in progress
in Pickens county for the location of
the high school which is soon to be
established at some point within the

session of the Alabama legislature

ment OF a high school in every county

this kind was already in existence.
The school in each county is to go
to the town making the best offer,

Carrollton. Aliceville, Reform and

The CITY Levy.

At a meeting of the City Council
which was held Friday night the levy
was fixed at ten mills for the ensuing
year. This levy is the same as last
year and is based on the estimate
submitted by Mayor DonneH in his
annual report for the fiscal year end
ing October /, 1901 This report
shows the assessed valuation to be
$3,910,643, while the estimated ex-
penses for the ensuing year are s60,-
1862 This estimate shows a sub
stantial increase over last year, but
this increase is occasioned by the
rapid growth of the city, improve
ments having been made and addi-
tional men having been employed in
several departments. The report fur
ther shows that there has been a sub
stantiaI decrease in the deficit. On
October 1, 1906, this deficit amount
ed to S22, ,275.74, and of this amount
S13,2S2.6S has been wiped ont dur
ing the fiscal year just ended, thus
reducing the deficit to S8,993.06.

The TeIegraphers, Strike.

New York, Sept. plans are being
made at telegraphers' union headquarters
to carry the fight against the companies
before Congress. The leaders hope to
enlist the entire union labor elements
in an effort for legislation in the opera
tors interest.
The telegraphers believe the labor
union vote is powerful enough to secure
laws of general application but designed
specifically to aid the striking telegraph
ers.
They will seek in particular to make
it unlawful for railroad telegrapher to
work more than eight hours daily, COM
polling the railroads to recruit and shift,
making an immediate demand for 5000
men.
Western Union and Postal officials
say an eight hour law for railroad
telegraphers would not affect them in
the least.

TIE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

President Roosevelt announced yester-
day that he had advanced the date of
his departure from Oyster Bay from Sep
TENDER 29 to September rs. The origi-
nal plan was for the President to pro-
coed directly to Canton, Ohio, to partic-
ipate in the ceremonies attending the
unwilling of the national monument to
the late President Mckinley.
The change in plans is made to enable
the President to attend to some pressing
executive business at the Capital and to
give Secretary Loeb a chance to set his
STAG of assistants TO work.
The President will leave Washington
and start on his western trip on the az
ternoon of September 29. After leaving
Canton the President will go to KeokuE,
lows, and take a steamboat down the
Mississippi river.
Stops will be made at st. Louis, Cairo,
Memphis, Vicksburg and Nashville. The
trip IS originally announced was to end
at Memphis, but it has since been de-
cided to include Vicksburg and Nash
vile.
The President will speak in the cities
mentioned, and he is giving up the great
or part of his evenings during the re-
mainder OF bis stay at Oyster Bay to the
task of preparing the seven or eight adj
dresses which he is to make.
The President will probably resch
Washington on the return trip either on
October or s.

SULLIVAN A MANIAC.

ing for the return of friends and relatives
who have been dead for sometime,
Florence j. Sullivan, great power in
Tammsny Hall, New York, was brought
back from Europe on the Kronpripz
Wilhelm yesterday prisoner in his own
cabin. A year ago be returned from
Europe with ex-Congressmsn Frank O.
Wachter, Of Baltimore, as his chosen
companion.
The ships surgeon said that tho
politician was suffering from incarable
paresis and, although his death might
be a question of hours or months, he was
doomed. During the entire voyage he
r,ved day and night, refused to eat,
drink or sleep, and once, when he
escaped the notice of Judge Herman
Joseph, who had guarded him, he tried
to leap through one of the portfolio
windows. At times his violence was OF
such nature that the first cabin passen-
gers were frightened, and as 6nsl
measure be was placed under the in
Auence of opistes.
Sullivan, who is a cousin of Timothy
d. and Little Tim" Sullivan, was
accounted among the insane more than
a year ago, although the fact was kept

Clexeland,s Murder Mystery,

Cleveland, o., Sept. 4.-The arrest Of
suspect accused of numbering John j..
Phillips, the prominent coal man, is ex-
pected within "a hours. The police
profess to know who killed Phillips and
say they are delaying only to complete
the evidence. Phillips declared before
his death that he was shot by burglar
This seemed confirmed by the accounts
Of his wife and adopted daughter, the
only other persons known to have been
10 the house when the shooting occurred.
The detectives inclined for time, how
ever, to the suicide theory, aud when
this was disproven by the autopsy, de-
clared that, though murdered, Phillips
was not burglars victim. The widow
and her adopted daughter, Ethel Clarke,
aged u, we're subjected to a searching
examination by Ohiet Of Police SIAM
berger, of East Cleveland; Deputy Cor
oner Houck and the family physician.
Evidence at hand indicates that Phillips
had lost heavily in speculations, and
that his relatives had seriously consid-
cred combining him in ssnitarium to keep
him from speculating.

The War NinrrOcO.

Tsngier, Sept. 4. Eight Frenchmen
were lost 10 an attack by Moors yester-
day on CasabIancs. The list includes
Commander Provot and seven of his men.
While few details of the battle have
been received apparently the attack was
the most successful the natives have yet
made. This has caused alarm lest the
new methods of the Moors, who show
plainly they are now being directed by
some one familiar with European mill
tary tactics, should prove disastrous to
the towns defenders.
Fears are entertained here for the
American missionaries knOWn to have set
out this week to come here from Fee.
Their refusal to leave when other Euro
peans fed led to the suspicion that they
were French spies. Knowing their use

DISPATCHES from Odessa tell OF ciuel
oulrages last Saturday (the Jewish Sab
b,.b) on the part of members OF The
BACK Hundred upon inoAensive Israel
ties who we're 10 cemeteries praying at
the graves of their dead. The rioters
had previously run through streets in
habiled by Jews shooting promiscuously
right and left. The mob INDUCED IN
brutal excuses while in the cemetery,
numerically beating men, women and
children for no other reason than they
are Hebrews. These cruelties we're con-
tinued Monday. The Israelitish race
has been the target for many centuries
of cruel and lanaticsl men, and although
many tell us the world has advanced in
civilization and federation, scenes are
often enacted similar to those OF the
darkest periods in mundane history
The members of the cut-throat band
known as the Black Hundred are sue
cessors of Pharaoh, Hannah aud others
who have figured in the past as would
be exterminators of the Jewish race, and
there is reason to believe that those now
engaged 10 prosecuting the people Will
have their succt ssors in the future should
the present dispensatiOn have many more
wears to run. There cruelties are gen.
erslIy the outcome of religious fanata-
cism, transmitted from parents to child
rel, the latter being taught to look upon
members of the Israelitsh branch Of the
Semitic race with aversion. 1t is hard
to understand why such spirit con-
Times to be manifested among civilized
people. The Jew is here to stay, and
the same power that preserved the little
band which was the nucleus of the ma
tion in the days of Abraham, Isaac and
Jao b and delivered it from the Egyp-
,ia1s and Ahasuerus's prime minister will
surely not allow the Black Hundred OIL
any other scourge TO annihilate people
which many believe is yet tc play an
important part in the worlds history.

old, is now awaiting trial charged with
being an unruly and stubborn child, as
the result of charges preferred by her
parents. Saturday they had the girl ar
rested and she has been 10 jail ever since.
Trouble began when Miss Cohen told
her parents that she WAS engaged to
marry Philip P. Stain. They objected
mainly because the husband she choose
was not OF the Jewish faith and put their
ban on the marriage. The girl refused

Reign of Terror In Antwerp.

Antwerp, Sept. 4.-With rioters IN
almost absolute control of the streets, in
csndiaries doing their work unchecked
revolver battles occurring at frequent
intervals and foreign residents appealing
to their governments to protect them
the burgomsster called out the civic
guard today to quell the disorders in
cident to the dock lsborers' strike.
Though the strike has been in progress
some time, the situation attracted little at
teutiou, except locally, until yesterday,
when the reinforcement OF the strikers
ranks by several sympathetic walkcu't
gave matters a sudden turn for the worse.
The apparent indifference Of the higher
authorities has greatly handicapped the
police. who have generally been wOrsted
10 their encounters with the rioters.
With the civic guard patrolling the
streets today and reinforcements Of
gendsrnes pouring in from nearby
cities, II Is hoped that further out
breaks will be nipped 10 the bud. Rioiing
has gained such Roadway, however, that
1t is feared the disorderly element will
not be easily subdued.
Open conflict between the police and
striking dock laborers broke out anew
today and the whole city Was thrown into
a state of excitement and apprehension.
A general call was sent out for the
militia.
Furious fights Of yesterday and last
night, in which women and children were
injured, left the populace terrified. Great
property loss is feared unless the militia
succeeds 10 checking the rioters.
