GUILTY AS HELL"
 BUT GOES FREE

Nashville, Tenna Nov. s---.T know they are guilty as hell. but can't convict them"
 Such an expression in part over the failure of the jury this afternoon to convict certain alleged gamblers was uttered In the criminal court room by Attorney General Jeff McCarn. It was directly following the discharge Of the jury by Judge Hart in the case Of Jim Williams and others on q charge of conducting q gambling room at the Waggoner Hotel.
 Reading other eases of similar nature on the. docket, General MeCarn declared he hardly knew if 1t was worth while to try them as he'd did not efseiS that the state could set . Sjnst verdict. kS Evidence, on the part of wiIliamssa as to who owned the Waggoner Hotel resulted in his being arrested late in the afternoon on a warrant sworn out by General McCarn. charging him with perjury. Williams several months ago signed a bond and 1t was the claim of General McCarn that he swore he owned the hotel building.
 When placed on the stand to testify. Williams was cross-examined by Gem 'erai Mccarn and entered denial that he owned the Waggoner Hotel. 1p- stead, he said. he had lease. Wil- Hams made bond in the sum of 5000.

 America

Liverpool, Nov S.-The German Secretary of State for the Colonies, Herr Dernburg, at banquet given tonight by the Chamber of Commerce.. spoke at some length on his recent visit to the United States.
 The salient features of the conclu- sions which he derived from the visit, he said. were that the United States did not grow sufficient cotton for the worlds needs and grew cotton too ex- pensiveiy. It was the lack of capi- tai and competent labor that made him doubtful whether the near future would see either a considerable increase in the output or sufficient decrease in the price.
 Contending that there was no reason why the British and German-African colonies, which are able to grow 5000 bales, should not increase that amount a hundred fold. he emphasized the i'm portance of not letting the work of cotton cultivation drag. He could as- sure the heartiest cooperation of Ger many with Great Britain in this direc- tion.

Good Detective work.

A remarkably quick piece of detect- i've work was that done by L. c. Smith. special agent of the Mobile and Mont- gomery Division of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
 In addition to the attempt to wreck trains No. and No. as stated in The Advertiser yesterday morning. another attempt was made to wreck Train No. about 1 o'clock yesterday morning.
 With dogs from lumber camps near Brewton. Special Agent Smith and his assistants followed the trail of the dogs to negro cabin near Bay Min cite, and in less than six hours after the third attempt at train wrecking. the cuiprits were under arrest. They proved to be two negro boys--Enoch Walker. Il years of age. and Frank Hardy. f3 years old.
 The negroes confessed and were locked up in the Jail at Bay Minette. They claim that they put the obstruct- ions on the track for fun. and did not seem to realize the gravity of their offense.
 Frank S. Stone. the Bay Minette at- torney of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company. was in the city yesterday. He says that the negroes will be prosecuted to the utmost the sses of the two boys being handicap. legally.
 1t is believed that the two boys were used as tools by negroes who had a erudgs against the railroad. and some ,lnteresting events may come up at the friaf pSs JSIs Srs seT1W eEs 5sa
 Superintendent Mckinney says that Instructions have been issued to all Louisville and Nashville authorities that whenever obstructions are placed on the tracks they must immediately secure the dogs of the nearest luniuer camp or saw mill. and that no expense will be spared in tracking the culprtts.
