THAT KILLED
LILLE DAVIS
.ACK HALE GUILTY OF CRIME
Was Not a Witness IN the Case
And Did Not Tell Anyone
About the Matter Before

Bristol, Tenn, May Awhile
Ack Hale is serving life sentence
in the Tennessee penitentiary for
the murder of Lille Davis, who was
shot to death in East Hill cemetery
in this city three years ago, and
while he was convicted upon purely
circumstantial evidence, there hav-
ing been produced at the time of
the trial no witness who had seen
the tragedy, authentic news comes
from Pennsylvania that man from
that state and a companion were in
East Hill cemetery at the time and
witnessed the tragedy. ]. G. Shat
fer, the postmaster at Portuga, Pa,
writes that Mr.. Boland, of that
section, who was in the south at the
time of the murder, states positively
that he and a companion were in
the cemetery at the time and saw
Hale shoot the girl. Boland states
that it was a pretty evening, which
it was, and that he and his compan-
ion walked out from the hotel and
seated themselves on bench in the
cemetery, where they were they
engaged in a conversation, when
Hale and Miss Davis entered the
cemetery. The young couple seat
ed themselves upon a square near
Boland, and minute later quarrel
ensued, following which Hale from
his position fired the fatal shot.
Boland is quoted as saying that he
remained silent at the time for the |
that he did not desire to get |
mixed up in an affair of the kind far
from home, He said, however, that
had he been summoned and trans
portation sent, he would have will
ingly given his testimony at the
trial. Postmaster Shaffer writes
that while the court may have erred
n some matters regarding the trial
Of Hale, it is plain to his mind, in
view OF the statement of Mr.. Bo-
and that the Judgement of the jury
n giving Hale a life sentence was
we'll founded.

COUNCIL IN
SESSION
ALL BIDS
ARE OPENED
BUT NO CONTRACTS LET
Committee Appointed to Tabulate
Offers and Report at an Ad-
journed Meeting Tonight.

The board of mayor and aldermen
met in regular session last night.
The fact that the bids on the con-
struction of the new water works sys
tenn were to be opened drew large
attendance, not only of those interested
in placing bids, and there were many,
but also Of the citizenship Of Johnson
City.
The bills against the city for the
month of April were presented and or
dered paid.
City Engineer w. M. Dunlap opened
and read the various bids. These bids
cover all of the items necessary in the
construction of water system, such
valves, hydrants, steel pipe cast iron
pipe, wood pipe, the reservoirs, etc.
On motion by Alderman Wofford the

eer, in connection with the recorder
and one of the commission, was insti-
tuted to tabulate to tabnlate the items
offered by the various companies and

DEPEND UPON PRESIDENT
To Harmonic Differences With
Wise Disposition of Patronage
Among Faithful Bunch

Washington, May 5.-FoIty-fiye SEN
ators, all from the conservative or
Irregular" wing of the membership are
said to have joined in the movement to
formulate new administration legis-
latlve program. Two more are clHimed
but the regular republican leaders say
they do not care to suject these men to
embarrassment by disclosing their
names at this time
In the effort to maintain control of
the senate machinery, mush depends
upon the success of President Taft in
harmonizing differences that may
arise.
He will be back in Washington to-
morrow. If he is willing to swing tthe
big sticlz' as the regurr republicans
say he is, the claims of the regular
organization appeared TO be justified.
The work of the organization in lining
up senate members proceeded today
with the understanding that the SEN
ate would adjourn until Monday.

ARREST OF WHITE SLAVERs
Expected as Resu1t of Statements
Made by Levenson's About
Stockades for Girls

New York, May 5.-Addition-
al arrests were expected today in
the white slave" traffic as the
result of Harry Levenson, the
self-confcssed " white SLAYER. :"
Levenson's sensational account
of "stockades" where girls are
kept ready for delivery is believ-
ed to be accompanied by revela-
tons of other secrets of the traf-
fic and of names upon which the
prosecuting officials may work to
round up additional trafckers in
women for immoral purposes.
Levenson, who has pleaded
guilty to one charge, was arrest
ed with Belle Moore, the mulatto
woman, and Alexander Ander-
son, charged with being dealers
in young white girls. The ar
raignment of the Moore woman
and Anderson was set for today
and it was expected that through
counsel they would make every
effort to obtain the names of
those who testified against them
before the grand jury.

FAVDRS INDIAN MEMORIAL
Senator Taylor.Believes Monument
to North AmericanIIndian
Should be Erected

Washington, May 5.-"The sugges-
ton of Mr.. Rodman Wanamaker to
erect monument to the North Amer
lean Iidian, was an inspiration, said
Hon. Robert l.. Taylor, United States
senator from Tennessee, in a recent
interview 81 am more than gratified
that the bill for this memorial to the
Indian, which was introduced in the
house by Congressman Goulden, of
New York, and IN the senate, by Sen
ator Depew, was reported favorably
from the committee on Library of the
house. As | understand it, this monu-
ment is to be erected without cost TO
the government ON site in New York
Harbor, selected by the secretary of
war and the secretary of the navy,
Through the efforts of Mr.. Wanna
maker, who sent his expedition into
the west for the purpose of gathering
the true story of the Indian, and of be-
coming familiar with them, this men,
orial is to be erected. LaudabIe as is
the idea of Mr. Wanamaker to furnish
all the funds for this monument. |
think it is but right that the people of
the country should be allowed to con-
tribute, and especially the children be
to aid their mite.
at occurred to me at first that James"
town is the more proper place for it,
but upon reflection l am satisfied that
it should be at the point where it will
be first seen by visitors and immi-
grants, that it may remind the accom-
plishments Of the few years in which |
America has been transformed from
wilderness into the greatest and rich
est nation on earth. But | favor ii
first, because it is the Indians due and
because it will express some sense of
the obligation to him for Selling his |
domain

OUR SOUTH MUST
HAVE PROHIBITION"

Asheville, n. c., May with the
usual devotional exercises, consisting
of prayers, hymns and eXatations,
the quadrennial conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, OPP
ened its second session this morning.
The delegates were late in assembling
and the exercises were continued until
the hall filled up, which was nearly 10
o'clock. A large amount of routine
matters were transacted, greetings
from fraternal organizations allied to
! the church were received and the offic-
ial roll of committee members was
called.
Two gavels were presented to the
conference, one by Bishop IIoss ON be-
half of Judge and Mrs. ID. b. Bell, of

DIR. T.. G. B. Mann, of Kentucky,
took up the question of the naming Of
the committee on temperance which
yesterday was renamed the committee
on moral and social questions. DIR.
Mann said the Methodist church,
south, could not afford TO go on record
as striking a Temperance committee
from its list. He secured a suspension
of the rules and moved the word tenn
perance be revered and that the COM
mittee be called the committee on tenn
perance and other moral and social
questions.

'and feel have a right to speak on
this. When we get rid of our present
governor, you of Tennessee can have
your Pattersons aud we can have our
Wattersons, but the south will have
its prohibition. | am asking this
change lest some Of the Episcopal min
isters-not the Episcopal church itself,
remember-who are defending liquor
interests, should say that we had back
ed off from our fight against the whis-
key evil"
An attempt to substitute the word
'prohibition for the word 'temper-
ance" was defended and Dir. Mann's
motion was carried.
