BLAZING FIRES KEPT UP.
Fear Of Reprissls on the Part Of the
Americans Owing to the Shooting Of
Walter Simmons Results In Italians
Moving Out Of Town.

Natalbany, La, July 23.-Daylight
Thursday found this town divided into
two armed camps with race hatred
strained to a dangerous pitch. During
Wednesday night preparations were
made for a race war Of threatening
proportions, but the passage OF the
night without actual fighting is believ.
ed to have averted further danger,
One OF the hostile camps consisted OF
Italians and other foreigners, gathered
beside blazing fires on the outskirts OF
town, and were said to number, includ.
ing wives and children, about 500 per
sons
All day Wednesday these foreigners
gathered In camp, after moving out OF
their homes here and IN the vicinity.
In fear OF reprisales by Americans for
the wounding of Walter Simmons on
Tuesday and subsequent shooting be
tween Americans and Italians Wed.
nesday Some foreigners claimed TO
have been warned TO leave this sec
ton OF the country.
Tie opposing camp is made up OF
about seventy-five residents. Natal
bany is under command OF Sheriff
Saal
Early Wednesday night Italians
came into town and said men at their
oountrymen's camp intended to at
tack and wipe out the town" before
morning. The sheriff sent out scouts,
picksted the town and ordered every
Available man TO be ready to fight
At intervals scouts approached for
eigners' campfires and reported the
excited men were holding continuous
debates.
Nstalbany is a lumber mill town
The race trouble in this section is the
outgrowth OF the rough spirit rampant
among mill employees, such as within
the past year resulted In the exodus
OF foreigners from numbering commu.
mites TO other parts OF this state.
Authorities here believe they have
the situation under control. and any
the Americans who threatened to
lynch the Italians will be forced to
keep the peace, allowing the foreign.
ers 10 return peaceably TO homes.

The finding of the dead and decompos- ing body of Mrs. Annie Cornell, under lot of trees and shrubbery in the western part of Jefferson County, sev- eral miles from Cardiff village, the ar- rest of J. M. Hubbard and wife, who lived a short distance from the Con- nells. in connection with the murder, and the mysterious absence of Mir.

 The dead body was found by a hunt CT. He immediately reported the mat ter to the authorities and an investi- gation was started.
 Deputy Sheriff Brents arrested Hub bard and his wife, despite their strong denial of the accusation made against them, and brought them to the county jail in Birmingham on warrants which charge murder.
 Mrs. ConneIl, or Annie Rogers, as she was known, was shot through the head. It seems from the information except as to the direct crime. that has been secured. that the Hubbards and Councils exchanged residences. This brought on more or less of i'll feel ing.

 It is said that T. H. Aldrich. by reason of being related to Mir. Taft, will be the manager, while the leaders of the administration faction are equal ly as certain that one of their selec- tion will be the man.
 A prominent leader, in talking of the situation, said that a national man ager of Mir. Taft, Tn speaking over the State management, said that Mir. Taft would look to those men who had en- gineered his nomination in all matters of 8 political nature rather than to other connection.
 It was given out there today that J. A. VanHoose, a former Mayor of Birmingham and President of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Associa- tion, would be supported for Congress on an independent ticket, and that that gentleman was considering making the race.

MANY APPEAL PARDON BOARD Over Thirty Petitions Made Yesterday. DEEP PATHos IN SEVERAL CASES Women Walk Many Miles to Plead
 For Mercy. Unwritten Law Plea in Case of Man. slaugbter-Devotion of Wife to
 Convicted Man
 Board Busy.
DEEP PATHos IN SEVERAL CASES

In the more than thirty petitions to the Board of Pardons of the State yes- ferday there were several pathetic in their circumstances. They involved the devotion of woman to wayward man, and of the courage of man in defense of woman. The Board was busy with the hearing of the petitions through two sessions. one in the morning ana another in the afternoon. and when Governor Conner returns he will find from the Board alone enough to make him a very busy man.
 In point of womanly love. perhaps the case of Will Mayes and Ed Thomas afforded the strongest example MT Thomas. wife of one of the defendants and Mrs Mayes, her mother, tramped a hundred miles or more to appeal that the board release the men from incar- ceration. Mrs. Thomas brought with walled piteously.
 The women came from North Ala bama. Originally they had owned horse and buggy, but to pay an attor- ney's fee--he had been engaged in the defense of the men--they sold it. Then they had to walk and when they reached the Capitol yesterday they were in a sad plight footsore, weary, hungry. But they bravely made their plea and the plea was only for the two men that had been sent up from Lime stone County to serve the State for two years because they had been convicted of burglary.
 Waves and Thomas were travelling in a wagon between Huntsville and Flor ence and had camped for the night when the crime they are accused oi was committed. They were accused oi entering a building and stealing some

meatz of small value. Both the men and the women deny their guilt.
 Unwrftten Law is Invoked.
 The nnwrftten law was invo ked in the petition for the pardon of Lee Cawley. sentenced from Lee County to serve ten years on conviction for mas slaughter. Cawley's wife appeared be- fore the Board yesterday. She said that the man Cawiey killed had out ragged Cawley's niece and that cawiey had killed him.
 That was the end of a long and cruel story shortly told.
 There was a protest against the par don of W. H. Fuller. of Bibb County. serving a sentence of ninety-nine years for murder. It is said that Fuller killed negro riding with John Jones, then deputy sheriff of Bibb. There was a petition for his pardon and the protest was formally filed in opposition. In the protest 1t was argued that the shot which killed the negro and only dangerously wounded Jones was in- tended for the deputy.
 Harry D. Morrison. a young man only 22 years old, had a strong petition pre- scented in his behalf. With Mrs. Mor- rison. who appeared before the Board were Rev. B. c. Ehrenreich, Rabbi of the congregation of Beth Or, and N. Lobman. The story mat Mrs. Morrison told was effective. She said that her husband. convicted of forgery, had con- fessed the charge, but that he had been in straits and had used the money to keep the family from being elected from their home.
 To prove her devotion to her husband Mrs. Morrison told how after he had been sent to convict camp of the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company she had left Mobile. their former home. and accepted menial employment in the neigbborhood in order to be near him.
 The Board adjourned late yesterday afternoon.

protested that they were not responsi- ole; that 1t was wholesale dealers who forced the meats up. The dealers were told by the women that the condition or affairs brought about by the ava rlce Of the big meat men would no longer be countenanced and that if the dealers wished to act with the people they would close up their shops at once and refuse to buy meats at the ex- orbitant prices they were forced to pay. Thus, 1t was urged, would the packers be brought to subJection.

the belief that he is alive and if he can be located can tell something of the killing of the woman.
 There appears to have been some family troubles mixed up in the case the Councils having large family con nection and the dead woman having been twice married.
 The investigation by the coroner has been delayed until Saturday in the hope that additional evidence can be worked up. The Hubbards will be held as material witness
