clear. He said:
The motion in the case of the state

before the court. After giving due and
careful consideration to all the reasons
assigned in the motion. the court is of the

LABOR LEADER BIFFS
CONFER IN SPEECH

MOBILE, Ala, April 26.-President An

of Labor, at the afternoon session of that
body today. said in his annual address
TO that body:
81 beg to call your attention to the
statement in all the daily papers that the
Hon. b. B. Conner, governor of the state
OF Alabama. and owner of the Ivondale
cotton mills, has refused pointedly to
act upon the request of Governor Sanders,
OF Louisiana, to commission delegates to
the conference held in New Orleans to
take steps in regard to the employment
of child labor.
Governor Conner declined to make any
appointments, assigning as his only rea-
son that the state of Alabama had re-
Gently passed excellent laws upon this
subject, and that he could not approve
OF any attempt to modify these laws un-
til they had been fairly tested and found
to be unsatisfactory. His claim that the
laws of Alabama, governing the employ
ment of children by mills and factories
are good and adequate, for all purposes
is positively and strongly controverted
by lady expert on this subject, who has
devoted much time to its consideration
and who has visited the mills and was
present at the conference held In New
Orleans There are many children in the
Avondale mills of tender years--too
young for such work. and yet Governor
Conner was cognizant of this and still
maintains that the laws of the state
governing the employment of child labor
are good.
'I would urge the passage of resolu-
tions approving the action of the confer
ence and condemning Governor Conner for
his refusal to commission delegates tc
that conference, as he was requested by
the governor of Louisiana and for euw1
ploying in his mills at Avondale, of
children OF such tender years, and to de-
nounce also the parents of thcpe chill
dren"

SPEEDS IN AUTO
TO ESCAPE MOB
SHERIFF AVERY AND NEGRO
PRISONER MAKE FAST TIME
TO PREVENT A hYNCHINC.
EXCITEMENT AT ABEL.

SPARKS, Ca, April 27.-The negro who
shot down Clifford Rutherford at Lenox
Monday morning just before daylight
was captured at Abel Monday afternoon
about 8 o'clock by Chief of Police A. d.
Mullis
The negro was seen by one of the fore
men of the Abel Lumber company coming
through the woods to one of the COM
pany's shanties, and he gave the alarm
The shanty was quickly surrounded and
the negro captured. He soon confessed
that he was the man who did the killing,
and gave up the pistol with which ne
killed young Rutherford. He gave his
name as j. B. Jackson, and said he was
from Cordele
He stole a crowbar from the railroad
section house Al Lenox, with which he
broke open three stores the postoftice, the
Bank of Lenox and the express office and
ticket office. He got the pistol out OF
the bank with which he shot Rutherford
lie also discarded the suit of clothes and
shoes he was wearing and selected new
outfit from the stores he entered. He was
wearing the new suit when captured, but
was barefooted. He had thrown away
the new shoes because they hurt his feet
He made the statement to Mr. Mullls
that a white man was in partnership with
him in his robbery, but that he would ole
before telling his name.
Sheriff Avery arrested another negro al
Lenox on suspicion and carried him 10
Nashville Jail The suspicion was not
sufficiently strong against him to arouse
much excitement.
Abel is 10 miles from Lenox. The negro
jackson was Immediately hurried out OF
town towards Nashville through the
country by Mullis and was safely landed
in Jail at Nashville.
BY 4 o'clock fifty to one hundred men
from Lenox and surrounding country had
reached Abel, under the impression that
the negro was being held there, determin-
ed on lynching him. The crowd were in
an ugly mood. and had the negro been
there it would have been impossible to
save him. At this hour the excitement is
running high and il is believed if the
negro is held in the Nashville jail that
he will be lynched before morning.
Clifford Rutherford was a young un-
married man about twenty-four years DID,
and was from a very prominent family in
this county.
1t was reported by telephone from
Nashville at 6 o'clock that Sheriff Avery
had just left there with the negro Jack
son in an automobile in the direction of
Douglas. 1t is the impression that he
will change his course and take his pris-
oner to Valdosta or Waycross.
The county officials promise that an ad-
journed term of court will be held within
ten days TO try the negro If the people
will make no further effort to lynch him.
