On the ground that fter-discovered
evidence which will throw new and
important light on the cases OF Floyd
and Claude Allen has been unearthed,
attorneys for the condemned will to-
day or tomorrow present formal pc
tition to Governor Mann for respites
for the two in order that attorneys
may appeal to the Sureme court for
new trials.
Richard Il. Byrd Harry NJ. Smith,
Jr., and James f. Minor have been
retained RS counsel 10 formulate and
present the petition TO the Supreme
court, and fund will be raised by
popular subscription to defray the ex-
pense Of the proceedings. Those in-
terested decline TO divulge the nature
OF this after-d!scovered evidence be-
yond the statement that it was not
adduced at the Wytheville trial.
Sympathi2ers Ask For Funds.
A meeting of the Allen sympathiz-
ers was held yesterday morning in the
First National bank. ard later the fol-
lowing statement was issued:
New evidence has been discovered
in the Allen case which puts a very
different phase on the matter. 1t is
necessary to employ additional coun-
sci to develop fully and present the
changed aspect of the case to the
courts in order that justice may be
done.
Money Is needed for this purpose,
the resources OF the Aliens themselves
having been exhausted or tied@ap by
the court. All persons wishing to aid
in this matter will send their contri-
buttons at once"
At ! o'clock a delegation consisting
of Judges Rhea and Wingfield, of the
State corporation commission: John
P. Branch. Luther l.. Scherer and the
three attorneys called on Governor
Mann and delivered to him petitions
and documents bearing upon the new
~ discovered evidence. They also
gave the governor a petition from
the jury which convicted Claude AL
len, asking for Communication for the
young man.
Prepare Formal Petition.
The formal petition TO the governor
discussing the legal phases of the mat
ter is now being prepared by Messrs
Byrd Smith and Minor This petit
ton will present the legal reasons for
expecting action at the hands of the
Supreme court favorable to the Aliens
and will ask the executive to reprieve
the men to give his attorneys time
in which to take the matter 10 that
tribunal. This will probably be pre-
scented this afternoon. Governor Mann
Of course will make no announcement
until he has received this petition,
and then ne will issue statement.
In the meantime. unless the gov
ernor sees fit to interfere, the Aliens
will die in the electric chair Friday

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.--The, cotton
market made quick response TO-DAY
10 what has at first regarded as a very
bullish census report on the NUMBER
of bales ginned TO November S0th,
inclusive. The report gave approx
imately 11,850,000 bales. This COM
pared with l2,S17,000 bales for the
corresponding date last year. and the
trade was at first inclined to take
favorable View of the market for TINS
reason The figures were under ex-
pectations. but with analysis OF the
report many conclusions were reach
ed which formed an offset to bullisn
sentiment, and the market lost about
twenty points of its early improve
ment.
1t has all along been known that 1t
is not so much the fact that cotton Is
being picked, ginned. and marketed
with unusual rapidity, or that re-
ceipts and results are only one mil
Hon bales under last year, but 1t was
also believed, and for that matter is
now believed, tha< II greater percent
age of the crop has moved from
farmers hands than for many years
past at the same date. Last year 81. 4
per cent of the crop was through the
gins on November goth, but after that
date 2 "a millions bales Of cotton
were reported ginn-d, and the crop
was $4,000 bales additional. These
last figures represented errors. re-
packs, and linters.
Today's ginning report might,
therefore, easily be considered as
meaning a crop Of 1900 bales, were
II not for the fact which nearly ev-
cry one admits that the percentage
this year of cotton ginned is much
greater than for any crop In recent
years 1t is for this reason that opin-
ions were much mixed. and that mar
ket were not consistent IN the days

1t is only necessary to admit that
the percentage OF cotton ginned up

cent in excess Of last year to place

Prices were lower again and the coun-
try was offering its yellow cereal at

now waiting for cars.
Continued liquidation was to be
seen in oats. and prices were lower

International Puts
Limit on Salaries
at $4,000 Monthly

NEW YORK, Dec. s-Enlivened
by a bitter fight that would have
done justice to the National league
in its most tempestuous days, the In
ternatioral league, at its annual meet
ing in the Victoria hotel this after
noon. ''railroaded" a salary limit
clause, which the minority of its pres
idents believe will prove a great detri-
ment to the association. The amount
of the salary limit was not made pub
lie. but II was learned on the very
best authority to be $1,000 a month
for each club, with maximum salary
OF $500 per player
The champions Of the new salary
limits were the second division clubs
The rule was stubbornly opposed by
the presidents of the three leading
clubs, Toronto. Rochester and Balti-
more. These men declared that such
a rule would ruin their fine teams,
as they were In the habit Of paying
major league salaries.
The opponents of the salary limit
have just one bare chance to thwart
the measure before it can become
law. the innovation will have to be
sanctioned by the national commits
sion. as part of the new peace pact
Before the national commission the
minority VIII put up strenuous night
The hackers OF the larry limit tried
to slip over another one on their
more fortunate first division brothers
This was a resolution to divide the
gate receipts so and SO instead of so
and 40 per cent. Such legislation
would greatly benefit the tail-enders
at the expense OF the contenders
Fortunately for the latter the meas
ure was voted down.
1t was decided to adopt a schedule
OF 154 games, the season to open or
April 18th. The spring schedule
meeting will be held in New York a,

National and American leagues
