Judge William H Thomas of the Criminal Division of the City Court conferred a distinction upon little negro boy yesterday seldom witnessed in the State. The Judge in person came to the County Jail and released Franklin Harris, eight years old. who had been placed in, the cage with the criminals Grand larceny was the charge against the lad.
 After taking him out of the cage, Judge Thomas caused the little negro to go into, the jail yard that he might secure q snap shot of the tiny criminal. After the picture was taken, the judge turned him over to the agent of the negro school at Mt. Meigs.
 The lad is wonderfully smart for his age On being released from the steel cage, he was presented with fountain pen by Judge Thomas and asked If he could write his name to certain papers. The Boy replied that he could. He did. too. and the writing was above that

RYAN SAYS MURPHY ACTED IN EN-
 TIRE GOOD FAITH. '
Letter From Murphy to Presiaens Chambers, He Decia;es, Exac''y } Expresses Chicago Mans Aa' titude Towards Eiston
 Affair,

That Charles w Mdrphy. president of the Chicago National League sase- ball Club, acted in entire gooo +fsitn with Montgomery in re Elston 10 the opinion of Manager Ryan. of Mont Romery. It has always been Murpnys policy, Ryan said last night. 70 op, pose "bail- player -stock -jobbins, ana if his policies could be eneSieo tne minor leagues would be much better off.
 Ryan's remarks were occasiGned by q letter from President Murphy to President Chambers of the Montgom- cry Association. of which q copy fol- lows: -
 Chicago, April c. 1908. MT. R. J. Chambers. President,
 Montgomery, Aia5ama. {. Dear Sir:-Player Elsfon. sDout whom you have written me several times. does not want 70 play in@ the South. and we have given him rhe right to pick out the club he wishes to play with. I understand his wife and daughter are both i1. and he wishes to play where he will De near them. and I have no desire, Tor that reason, to force nim 10 go where lie does not want to gc. regret this very much as had hoped he would consent to go with the Montgomery Club.
 with kindest regaras to you and Mir. Ryan. am,
 Yours very truly.
 "Charles W. Murphy.s
 president"
 Here is what Murphy advised Guer- ry Hermann, of the National Commit tee. in regard to the sale of players. Ryan said. He tod him to make, all the teams sell to the smaller leagues at the same prices that were paid. If, in other words. a big league team picks up a man for $20o and doesn't want him the team ought to sell him to a smaller league team at the same price. That plan would stop the job bing, and protect the players and the smaller leagues.
 Nov in the Elston case think some have overlooked fact. When a man ager wishes to release man and can place him in one of the several tenms at the same price he gives the player an option uasp to, which team he shall go with. I have no idea that Murphy got any more for Elston than Mont gomery offered. I think the case was just as Murphy stated 1t in his letter; he wanted to be near his family and therefore asked that he be not sent here.
 And don't mind adding" the Mont gomery manager said with a smile, that while we wanted Elston I think we have man that will do his work for him here. That's Persons"

An alarm was sent in to the department. but the nature of the Illumination. was soon discovered and all excitement allayed. The Madison Avenue firemenr learned that the alarm was a false one before they reached the scene. and they turned back to the station. The electric light was extin- Ruished without damage.

 Washington. April s.--A motion bv sa1. sherman, New York. fin the Hotise today to recomrnit the Indian appro- priatiop bill to conference. started the daily monopony of divisions and roll calls. 2 ff Sti'
 MT. Williams. the minority leader. was on hand with his usual demand TOT the yeas and nays. which he face tiously remarked. was made with the view to saving time. Leader Payne of the majority challenged that assertion and at the same time made the point of no quorum. Against that motion Mr. Williams protested, saying the point was diliatory. Speaker Cannon ruled however. that the point of no quorum will get a more speedy action
 "oh," drawned Mir. Williams. T guess that's so."
 The roll was called and the bill wa q returned to conference, 250 to 3, the Democrats all voting with the Repub- Icans to that end. The Season for re- turning the bin to the conference was that important changes were neces. sary in the provisions for the payment of attorneys of the Five Civilized Tribes for services performed in the prepara- ton of the citizenship rolls. The pro- vision was so altered as to make it general and to extend 1t beyond the limits fixed by either house. There will now be an effort to have 1t re- stricted.
 Subsequently the bill was again call ed up for passage under suspension of the rules. Mir. Sherman explained, tn at the objectional provision relating to contracts between attorneys and claim ants had been restored to its original phraseology. so as to require the ap- proval of the Secretary of the Inte- rior.
 MT. Fitzgerald (N. Y.) opposed the adoption of the conference report and called upon his Democratic colleagues to force the Republicans to make good their boast that only such legislation as the majority wanted would be en- acted.
