SPEAKER cANNoN's OPINION.
Speaker Cannon told to-day what he
thought OF the compromise.
Il think the committee on resolutions, +"
he said, has marked out q very commend
able expression as to the position of the
Republican party on the two planks over
which there has been so much controversy.
The court procedure plank expresses In
unequivocal language the traditional con-
fidence OF the Republican party in the in
tegrity OF the courts and insists that their
powers to enforce their processes and pro-
teot life and property must be preserved
inviolate.
"The resolution further commends the
courts by recommending that what has
been and Is their practice in issuing in
functions shall be expressly declared In
the statutes. I approve the plank as
adopted. ;,
Il also approve the plank as reported
touching amendment to the Sherman anti
trust act. The committee struck out of the
tentative draft Of that plank the language
which seemed TO indorse class legislation.

ROTH SIDES DISPLEASED.
Manufacturers and Labor Unions Disap-
prove OF In Junction Plank.


The associations of employers which have
been protesting against the introduction
of an anti-injunotion plank in the platform
OF the Republican national convention de-
clared yesterdaythat their opposition would
extend to the substitute plank adopted.
They said that they would Oppose any
measure introduced in the new Congress
based on this plank or against any inter-
ference with the courts. The representa-
tives Of the unions, on the other hand, said
they were not satisfied and wanted some
thing stronger.
Henry C. Hunter, commissioner of the
National Metal Trades Association, said:
while we realize that platform of a
convention is only a declaration Of prin-
ciples and pledges Of what the party will
try to bring about, efforts will no doubt be
made to bring about legislation on the basis
Of the substitute anti-injunction plank
which the convention adopted. The plank
may look harmless. but II is capable Of wide
Interpretation. and its lack of defniteness
makes it all the more necessary, that we be
on she y-atoh. We shall certainly when the
new Congress meetB keep UP the fight
against any interference with the rights Of
the courts, whether based on this plank or
not"
Walter Drew. commissioner OF the Ma
tiOnal EreCtOTS AhSoCiatlon, Balu tnaJ un-
doubtedly there would be no letup In the
fight of the association against any abridge-
ment of the rights of the courts.
"A good deal Of mischief could lurk be-
hind the little substitute plank referring to
injunctions, he continued. 1T Is 30 worded
that II could be interpreted in many ways,
and It Ii necessary II the integrity of the
courts is to be guarded 20 watch out for any
attempted ,legislation based. on It."

strong enough to please tho unions. f

GETS LIFE SENTENCE.

Florence. Ala. March 30.-(SpeciaD The most strenuous term of court held in this county in many years ended when Judge Chas. P. Almon pTo- nounced the lofe sentence against Fancy Anderson, the last of the trio of negroes to be tried for the murder of Enos Johnson. The case was given to the jury at 10 o'clock Saturday night and at 12 o'clock the term of court expired. but the jury was equal to the occasion and there were still several rniutes to the good when Judge Almon had signed the minutes of the court, and the prisoner had been re- turned to jail. and Judge Almon had established a record for this circuit by holding four murders trials in eight days
 The crime for which Lotley Turner and Fancy Anderson: will spend the balance of their jays and Jim Turner will spend th:rty-flve years in the pen itentiary is one of the most dastard- county. The three conspired to put Joh nson, who was peaceable. honest negro out of the way and chose the the occasion of negro supper. when the house was crowded. to carry out their purpose At a. given signal they opened fire upon Johnson almost simultaneously from the front, side and rear, and riddled him with bull let's.
 Judge Almon passed sentence upon Dave Sea wrig5at of ten years = the penftentiary for the. murder of Will Cole. a negro, and Steve Wilkes. a fourteen-year-o white boy. was giv- en one year for burglary.

e.sll 2 q frs | November 1a. 1908 and on December s Gillette was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced 10 death. ~
 The prosecution presented q chain of evidence which the defence was un- able to break down. Gillette, wpo testined. denied none of the evidence except the actual killing of the girl He said that she had urged him 70 marry her but that he was not in position to do so at that time as he had but sesnt means and his marriage would mean the loss of his positienan the factory. <ft
 He said that the girl arose in the boat, declaring that she would end the matter then and there, and ieaped overboardy The boat was overtuFnedsi he claimed, and although he made er- forts to save the girl from drowning he was unable to do so. The evidence showed that the water was but few feet deep. N.
 Upon his failure to rescue, the sfsf he said he had waded ashore. He ex-. pIained the condition of his baggage by saying that he had left 1t on the bank where they had partaken or some slight luncheon The tennis racquet with which the prosecution claimed he dealt the. girls death blow, was found hidden in the woods after weeks of search.
 The execution of the death penalty was stayed by an appeal to the court of appeals on January 1s. 1907 and on January last the case was argued. The court affirmed the Judgment Of conviction and fixed the week begins ming March 30. for carrying out the death sentence.
 GilIettes mother visited Albany and pleaded with Governor Hughes to commute the death sentence to life Imprisonment but the governor de- clined to interfere.
