Opposed to Prohibition.
Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 16.-A big
meeting was held at Ensley, the steel
suburb, tonight against prohibition
and several Of the large industrial
magnates participated therein de-
livering addresses. F. FL. Crockard,
vice president and general manager
Of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road Company, was among those
who appeared at the meeting, while
one of the priests of the district also
delivered an address against prohibi-
ton.
Considerable CONSERVATION was cre-
ated in Ensley today when it was
announced that several hundred men
had been laid off in the immense steel
plants of the district around Ensley.
No cause was assigned for this,
though some say it was on account
of the prohibition agitation. Rumors
were out last night that the steel
companies would reduce their work
ing forces but not until it became
fact was any interest taken in the
matter.
A big prohibition meeting was held
tonight at the Hippodrome in Bir-
mingham, Rev. George Stuart, of Ten
nessee, being the principal speaker.
Rev. Mr.. Stuart is an evangelist of
much force. The fight is on in ear

AS Champion of Negroes Andrew
Carnegie Speaks.
Edinburgh, Scotland, Oct. IL
Andrew Carnegie, in an address at
the philosophical institution, appeared
as the champion Of the negro in the
United States. He traced their deVel-
opment from slaves to citizenship,
the gradual decrease of illiteracv
among them, their participation in
church affairs and told of the enor-
nous expenditures of money for
churches and schools.
Mr.. Carnegie contended that the ne
gro was saving man and he repu-
dated the idea that the negro is lazy.
The negro, he said, had become of
immense economic value and is indis-
pensable. Mr.. Carnegie admitted,
however, that the negro problem is
still unsolvcd.
Lord Rosebery, who spoke on the
same subject, said that he doubted
the wisdom of enfranchising the ne
groes. Ninety per cent of them were
illiterate when enfranchised and on

The negroes were Will jackson,
Jim Shonts and George Robinson.
They had been placed i'll the Tunica
Jail where they confessed to series
of burglaries covering about ten
years.
Some time last night the negroes
were spirited away from the Jail and
the sheriff and his deputies claim they
do not know even the hour when the
prisoners were taken. The sheriff
testified at coroner's inquest today
that the negroes captors must have
sneaked In while he and his assist
ants were out and that they used the
Jail keys, for he found the cells lock-
ed and apparently undisturbed when
the regular rounds were made later.

Henderson, KY, Oct. 9.-The Of

several times.
