Feeling at Chattanoooa.

Chattanooga, November 1.-The news from Washington today to the effect that the supreme court of the United States had refused to grant rehearing of the Shipp contempt case was received by Capt. Joseph F. Shipp and his five CO., defendants with much surprise. The at torneys for the convicted parties were greatly surprised that the case was on call today. no notification to this effect having been given.
 Captain Shipp, after recovering from the shock of the news, said that later he would have something to say. but after consulting his attorneys he decided that 1t was best to preserve silence.
 Jeremiah Gibson, the aged jailer. who is summoned with the others to appear in Washington November 16 to receive sentence, was almost prostrated by the news. He Is 76 years of age.
 Attorneys for the defendants are hard at work in the endeavor to discover new evidence, but the time being short, they have little hope of securing anything suf- fciently tangible to serve as a further stay.
 The feeling expressed in Chattanooga tonight is that of the deepest sympathy.

KILBY MAY GET IN RAGE FOR CONGRESS
HAS MADE No ANNOUNCEMENT, HOWEVER-ANNlS MOTOR IsTs WANT OFFICIAL AUToMo- BILE ROUTE.

Annston, November 1.-(Special. )-For- mer Mayor Thomas F. Kilby, who re- gently returned from an extended trip abroad has been mentioned as probable candidate for Congress from the Fourth district. Asked today whether or not he would consent to enter the race if the business men of the city and district united to promote his candidacy, he re- piled that he had not as yet had time to consider politics at all. MT. Kilby has always been a staunch prohibition ist, and the declaration of his attitude on the amendment is awaited with inter- est. He seems to have enjoyed his trip thoroughly, but insists that his home
 coming was the most pleasant part of it.
 An invitation has been extended the Birmingham Motor club by enthusiastic motorists here tending to induce those of the club who propose to make the trip to Atlanta next week to attend the races there to choose the southern route recently covered by the pathfind- CTS and make 0 stop here. Good argu- ments are advanced in favor of the of ficial route running through Anniston between Birmingham and Atlanta, and local motorists propose to get it.

May Get Jail Sentence.

Washington. November 1.-(Special )-By it's decision today in the case of Joseph F. Shipp, ct al, the supreme court made 1t evident that when they appear before the court two weeks from today they will not escape sentence
 The case Is the first of its kind ever brought before the court and 1t has been long agreed that the alleged contempt would not be passed over. It is consid- . cred likely that Shipp will get jail sen- tence of perhaps six months, as well as a fine. His deputies will escape with lighter sentences, but sufficiently heavy in the courts opinion, to uphold the dig nifty of the court There is genuine re- gret over the affair. Shipp is man of high standing. very popular, and prob ably no other man could have prevented the lynching. With all of which, how
