Pensacola, Fla, Aprii s.--tSpectaL)--- As was expected. Governor oilohrlst has taken a hand in the lynching of the negro Alexander last Monday morning. who was taken from the city jaii.
 In a letter to State Attorney Rsiaos, which the latter received today at Milton, where he is conducting the prosecution in a number of criminal cases, the Governor in no uncertain terms tells the attorney that hs expects not only thorough investl- gation of the iynching. but arrests and convictions of the parties who formed the mob.
 The circuit court for the spring term convenes here Monday, when the grand jury will be enpanneled and 1t will be before this body that the investigation will be conductsd-
 While 1t Is. very probable that the lynching of the negro would have been handled by the grand Jury the instructions to the, attorney leaves no room to doubt that the murder of the negro will be gone into thorouGhiy.
 It sis expecfed' that police officers win sbe, among the chief witnesses, as nsarly dozen of them were on duty within a radius of two blocks of where the hanging took place. and all of them testified before the board of safety that they knew nothing of the lynching until the shots were fired.

Tells Why G. w. wv. P, |.
Game Was Scheduled for
November 10.
october >, 1909.


Sporting Editor, Washington Times:
With reference to an article which ap-
Deared in your columns several days
ago. relative to the George Washington
". ?. J. football game. which has been
scheduled to be played in this city at
American League Baseball Park,
Seventh and Florida avenue, on Noven-
Der Is. which happens to be the same
date on which Georgetown plays Fir-
ainia. I desire TO inform you that this
game was scheduled only after mature
and very deliberate consideration on the
Fart Of the management OF both the
V. +. /. and George Washington teams
After several months of CORE spondence
and personal interviews between the
two managements in an endeavor 10
schedule the game at either Norfolk,
Richmond. or some other suitable place
without result, George Washington de-
cIded not 20 schedule n game with V
p. J. However. upon further Emporium
ing on the part Of V r. l.. I finally con-
scented 70 play the game in this city on
Saturday, November - The question
Of playing the game one day earlier, on
Friday. was considered carefully, Out
knowing from past experience that II

game. and / am frank 10 admit that
we expect TO have naTd time DeatnS

10 take any unnecessary chances In hay-
ing men ont Of condition for 50 import

game We expect that the champion
ship OF the South Atlantic States viii
hinge on this game.
Some people may say that one lay
will not make any difference, but at
George Washington, where the men are
limited az 10 time for practising and
getting into condition. ] know that one
day counts very materially. It goes
without saying, that as far as the pub
lie is concerned the following Monday
s. not a good day for football in Wash

number OF people in Washington. who
would ike to see both the George Wash

date. To this IT can be said that IL We
had arranged 10 play V. p ]. IN some

pie could not possibly see both games.
Furthermore. the Washington public,
