NEGRO ASSAiLANT LEGALLY PUT
TO DEATH IN GEORGIA..
Strain Increased the Longer He Re-
manned Under the Eyes of the Law
and He Trcmblcd Violently.

a dispatch from Baxley, Ga, says
Neal Ryals, the negro assailant of
Mrs. Lizzie Overstreet, was executed
Friday morning at 11.35 clock.
Deputies brought the negro from
Macon that morning, arriving at Z
O'Clock. From that hour until the
execution Ryals was in consultation
with minister, taking part in a
religious service.
During the morning large crowds
of citizens constantly poured into the
town to witness as much of the exc
cution as possible. The crowd Of
people was orderly and nothing hap
pcned that was unusual.
At II O'Clock the death sentence
was read to Ryals by the Sheriff
and he was Immediately conducted
to the scaffold. Just before eXecu-
ton Ryals was permitted to make a
statement 10 the crowd. He talked in
4 clear voice and stead nerve. He
gave in detail where he was on the
morning Of the crime. He said he
had always feared the law and had
never had case in court before in
his life. being AZ years old. He pro-
claimed his innocence to the last.
He praised the sheriff and others
for their kindness to him, and ask
cd God to hold no charges against
them. He warned his colored friends.
He said they didn't have to do any
thing to get into trouble. He said it
was Il matter of lot or accident.
When asked if he knew who COM
mitted the crime. he said he did not.
Rev. John Morris. his spiritual ad-
wiser, thanked the people OF BaNlcy
for permitting the law TO take its
course.
The prisoner then offered long
and icrvent prayer and then began
singing as the final preparation was
made for his execution. and continued
to sing up to the last. He stopped
singing long enough TO bid every
body goodbye. He dropped ut LOO
and was pronounced dead in IL min

ARMY OF 100000.
WILL RECOsEIEND
INCREASE IN MESSAGE.
The Present Regular Army OF tho
United States is inadequate to Pro-
perly Guard the Forests and Posts.

President Roosevelt, in his final
annual message to Congress, this fall,
probably will recommend an increase
in the numerical strength of the
United States army is on footing
of 10000 men, the number provided
for in time Of peace 1t has become
evident TO the general staff two years
ago that 10000 men are too few to
garrison properly the posts at which
it is necessary to maintain an army
force. These posts include the gar
risons in the insular possessions OF
America. The law provides that the
army may he increased to 100000
men in time Of need.
This provision. in the opinion of
the military experts OF the govern
ment, is likely to prove serious
handicap to the army if absolute
necessity should arise for larger
force. 1t is pointed out that the re-
cruting OF the army $4,000 to 100,-
900 men would bring into the service
an additional OF approximately two
inexperienced men to every three eX-
perienced soldiers.
The injection of so considerable
Il force OF raw recruits, it is said by
military officials, would detract seri-
ously from the efficiency Of the army.
1t would require many months OF in
struction to whip into shape the men
thus mustered into the service, and
the event that the army was needed
in an emergency, the preence Of so
large a number of ineXperience sold
iers would prove handicap to the
main body.
1t is pointed out that considerable
force will he required to garrison the
fOrtifications at Pearl narbor, in the
Hawaiian islands. An immense
amount of moley is to be expended
in the erection of the Pearl harbOr
Notifications, and it is the opinion
of army officials that garrison OF
at least 1000 men will have to be
maintained there in order to protect
the works and insure against inva-
sion by a possible enemy.
Just now there are approximately
10000 Japanese in the Hawaiian is
lands. In the remote event of war
between America and Japan, or with
some other power with which Japan
is on friendly terms, it would be i'm
possible for the comparatively small
force Of United States troops now
in the Hawaii islands to prevent the
landing OF arms and ammunition to
supply the japanese in the islands.
1t is expected that the President
will recommend in his annual mess
ace an increase of the army by the
addition Of at least ten regiments or
infantry, five regiments of cavalry
and several companies OF coast artil-
lery. This recommndtion. If adopt
ed, would not increase the present
force to the maximum strength OF
the army provided by law, but would
meet the requirements which, IN the
view of the general staff, are neces-
sarv TO place the army on an ade-
ouate footing.

Eliza Meats, negro woman AZ
years old, was placed in Jail at An
