London, Aug. 16th-In the House OF Com
mons, Mr.. Asquith answering a question by
Mr.. Bonur Law, stated that Lord AlEerstone
has not resigned the Lord Chief Justiceship
OF England.
Ihe 'DaiIy Chronicle" commenting on
the foregoing, says it is technically correct,
but repeats that Lord Alverstono's successor
will be appointed after the long vacation ter
inmates in October. The Press Association
makes a similar statement on authority which
it claims to possess.
In the House of Commons, Mr.. Samuel,
Postmaster General, answering numerous Ma
tionalists, denied that he had formAlly as
scented to the deBertion by the Cunard Com
pany OF Queenstown, which port would be
preiudiced thereby. The Post Office, he
said, concurred that Queenstown was gener-
ally accessible, and that when not accessible
the mails could be left at the Quay side, but
it was unable to approve Of that, and a pro-
secution for the penalty would not regula-
rizeD the mails. The Post Office could cancel
the contract and the Company would assent,
but that would not help Queenstown. He
would welcome suggestions from the Nation
alists, whose position he approved. This
leaves the Cunard Company masters of the
situation.
The White Star Company announces that
they will not abandon Queenstown.
Advices from Londonderry state that the
riots continue, and it has been resolved to
summon troops.

WoMEN'S CONVENTION WILL
MEET AT SPRUCE STREET
BAPTIST CHURCH.

Spruce Street Baptist Church on
Eighth avenue, North has been Sc
lected as the place of meeting for
the Women's Auxiliary to the Ma
tional Baptist Convention to meet in
this city September 17-22nd. This
was finally decided upon this week
when Miss N. Fl. Burroughs. Secre'
tary of the Women's Auxiliary to
the Convention, the Rev. T. L. Bal
lou. pastor of the Spruce Street Bap-
tist Church. and Mrs. NJ. Flowers, a
prominent worker in the Women's
Convention, looked over the church,
its surroundings and conveniences.
The selection of the Spruce Street
BAPTIST Church as a place for the
commemorating of the fifty years
of freedom and the holding of the
sessions of the women also will add
to the Importance of the meeting,
from the fact that this is looked
upon as the mother church of Negro
Baptists of Tennessee, and especial
ly Nashville.
This celebration in connection
with the Convention will have sur
roundings that will not only be in
spring but historic Miss Bur
roughs tsated that she expects to
have an unusually large amount OF
paraphernalia,
Arrangements for some of the
leading speakers throughout the
country have been made by the
women. Among those who already
have been set down is the Rev
John f. White. D. D., Atlanta, Ga
one of the leading members Of the
Southern Baptist Convention. Ther
there will be Mr.. Weatherford, &
prominent white worker of the Y. M

Dresden, Tenn, Sept 2.-(Special.)
James Henderson, indicted and tried
III the Circuit Court here for the al
legged killing of Policeman Walter
Morgan, Of Martin, was found not
guilty by the jury here yesterday af-
ternoon.
The trial was a very strenuous one
and filled with stirring incidents
throughout. 1t was attended by at
least a thousand men each day.
Friends of Morgan were very anxious
for a conviction and bent every Ell
for to bring it about The proof de-
veloped was not as strong as expect
led, and then it began to be whis-
pered about that Henderson would be
mobed in the courthouse if he was
freed In addition to this threats
were made nightly to storm the jail
Morgan was killed at Martin early
the morning of July 20. Jesse Crutch-
field, a white man, was with him at
the time.
In the meantime, however, al
though Crutchfeld had located Hen
derson he continued to go to other
places to see suspects that had been
arrested, and on the day Of the tinal
arrest of Henderson he accompanied
Mayor Perkins to Union City to see
suspect under arrest there.
/ Two Negroes, Mingo Long and Lor
Jones, testified as 10 facts Ions
stating that Henderson had told hin
that he had killed Morgan, an(
Jones said that he had heard hin
say that he was going to kill him
But on cross examination through
the many character witnesses pro
duced against them it was ascertain
ed that they could not be believe,
upon oath.
The jury held that the testimon,
of Crutchfield as to the identity o
the accused was not borne out b
his actions, and that the Negro vii
nesses being unworthy of belief, tina
) it was their duty to acquit the dt
fendant, and they did so after cor
sidering the case about one hour.
Much praise has been given Judg
l J. e. Jones for his fair and impal
, Lial rulings and exceedingly elab'
> rate charge in the case.
Mayor R. L. Suddoth, Judge r. ]
} Maiden and Col. L. e. Holiday, a
/ torneys for Henderson, were firm
f the belief that their client was NM
cent, and were unceasing in their 9
forts in his behalf.

died about eight O'Clock Monday
night The poor unfortunate woman
sustained fractured ribs and Internal
injuries that caused her untold agony
until death relieved her of her suf-
fering.
A large piece Of iron bar on the
ton of the elevator was snapped into
by the impact Had it not been for
the coolness of the elevator operator
the body would have been mangleu
beyoud recognition. The groans and
sighs of Miss Stubbs soon drew to
her side large number of people In
the building, and she was eXtricated
as quickly as possible. Her almost
hfeless body was borne as tenderly
as could be to the ambulance and
rushed to the City Hospital. She
was thoroughly examined and the
doctor announced that there was lit
tie hope for her recovery.
The mother and sister were notl
fed and they were soon at her SIDE
Miss Alberta Stubbs did all she could
to bear up under the exciting ordea

made the fight that there be no par
tiality shown in this respect.
1t was non H. E. Howse who
made the recommendation to the
City Council that $4,000 of the
$780, 900 paid by the Gas Company
for the new franchise, be set aside
to purchase Hadley Park for the ex-
elusive use of Negroes.
He was largely instrumental in the
State Normal being located here.
The tuberculosis Hospital, which
is the best in the South, has equal
accommodation for black and white
Mayor Howse has insisted that the
department for Negroes be kept
open for them until they can be edu-
Gated up to the advantages such an
institution offers. White patients
would have logn ago taken every
unoccupied ward, but Mayor Howse
has urged the colored doctors to CO.
operate with him in filing up the
colored department with colored pa
tients.
Mayor Howse urges that a Ne
gro doctor be appointed to inspect
the Negro school children; he rec
commended that a Negro Nurse be ap
pointed and that has been done.
He is urging the erection of a
New High School building for the
colored people.
We heartily approve Of the stant
that is being taken by Negroes O.

dren out of Salons. Mayor Hows'
when reelected will remedy this
evil to the satisfaction of every citi
zen in this city who wants to b'

No candidate for Mayor has rec
