Rhode island Fishermen Bothered
by Foreign Invaders.

From the New York Sun.
The Greek fleet at Newport. r. l.. has
become so serious n rival to the native
lobsterman that something is about to
happen. A bill has been introduced in
the Rhode Island legislature providing
that none but citizens of the state shall
engage in the business of catching lob

ton for Massachusetts, If both are

ice cream and flower business openings,
quite few Hellenic immigrants have
come into their own on the New England
seacoast. At Newport they have secured
almost a monopoly Of the lobster busl-
ness and most of the lobster pots set
around the rocky points and ciiffs are
ont with names Enthusiastically Greek.
The fleet is unmistakable. composed OF
rather trim motor sloops decorated In

The Greeks are reckless lobstermen and
dash in among the rocks at the foot of
the cliffs with their motors running. The
motor is stopped with the surf all about
the boat and the pot pulled. the motor
started and the little boat is off before
the surf can hurl her on the rocks. 1t
isn't much like the old laborious work
before the motor days. but it is no real
fun even now.
Since the government assumed control
of the lobster field the quantity has been
Increasing. and last year the catch along
the coast was bigger than for nearly ten
years so that the profit Of the Greeks
has attracted the natives attention again.
The natives stood il very easily while the
Portuguese took TO clustering, for during
that period Holsters were not so numerous
and the business not so desirable.

Mr.. EMMET LEES
HORSES POISONED

Three horses belonging to Mr.. En-
NETT w. Lee were found to be sick
yesterday morning and later one OF
them died, and it thought that they
were poisoned.
There is no clue as to could have
done such a dastardly act, but there is
every reason to believe that some
thing was put into the water, which
the horses drank. When the water
in the trough was examined it had a
greenish appearance, but so far it IS
not known what it was.
The horses are valuable and the loss
is a heavy one. 1t is thought that
the lives of the other two animals
can be saved.

Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett in Speech
Quotes John Temple Graves That
Lynchng Was the Only Safeguard
of Southern Women.

NEW YORK, June THAT over
three thousand men, women and
children have been lynched in this
country within the last quaretr of a
century was the assertion of Mrs. Ida
Wells Barnett, at the National Negro
conference in this city today.
Asking why this was permitted by
a Chrihtian nation, Mrs. Barnett quot
ed John Temple Graves as saying
that the mob stands as the most po-
tential bulwark between the women of
the South and such carnival of crime
as would precipitate humiliation of
the negro race. 1--WE all know that
this is untrue" Mrs. Barnett said.
"The lynching record she said, dis
closes the hypocrisy of the lynchers."

PASCAGOULA, Miss, June l.
With the big battleship Mississippi
riding peacefully at anchor in the blue
waters of the Gulf of Mexico twelve
miles due south of this port, several
thousand citizens of the state, whose
name the vessel bears, gathered on
shore here this morning and presented
to her officers and crew the magnifi
cent silver service, which the people
of this commonwealth had purchased
through poplar subscription.
1t was originally planned to make
the presentation on board the battle
ship, but although yesterdays storm
was followed by fair weather today
heavy winds and fast running seas
made navigation for small excursion
boats exceedingly dangerous. Thou
sands of people had gathered here to
take part in the festivities and rather
than subject any of these to the haz
ards they would experience in making
the trip out to the battleship in all
kinds of frail craft, Capt. John c. Ere
mont, commanding the Mississippi

the belief that this change in the pro
gram would be for the best.

JOE WILLIAMS LIFE
SENTENCE AFFIRMED
THIS DECISION is HANDED DOWN
BY THE STATE SUPREME
COURT.
Williams Was Indicted in May, 1907,
for Murder of Ed HowelI-He Was
Convicted After Two Mistrials.

In the case of the state VS.. Joe Il.
Williams, charged with the killing of
Ed Howell, the negro banker about
two years ago. the state supreme court
through Justice Smith, affirmed the
verdict of the circuit court of Forrest
county. The punishment being life
Imprisonment in the state penitent-
larry.
According to the indictment return
ed by the grand jury for the May 1907,
term of the circuit court, the killing of
Ed Howell was "felonously and will
fully" done on the 18th day of May,
1907.
The first trial of Joe Williams was
held before Circuit Judge w. H. Cook
at the May 1907, term of the court.
At this trial Williams was defend
ed by Attorneys G.. B. Huddleston, J.
f. Davis. D. NJ. Watkins, Luther
James and A. c. Cherry.
The jury being unable to agree on
the verdict a mistrial was ordered en-
tered. Williams was allowed bond
and this was made, but subsequently
Williams bondsmen surrendered him
to the sheriff and he was lodged in
jail.
The second trial in November 1907
resulted in a mistrial.
The third trial of Williams was held
at the November 1908 term of the cir
cult court. The jury agreed as to the
question of guilt but was unable to
agree as to the punishment, that is
he death penalty or life Imprisonment.
This disagreement under the law, fix
ed the penalty at Imprisonment for
life.
