The body of William A: Moore, a
locomotive engineer who lived at 209
North Patrick street, was found shortly
before II o'clock last night on the
tracks of the Washington Southern
railway just north of the Mushpot road
near the city limits. Mr.. Moore was
dead when found. The body bore II
long cut on the right side of the head
and many bad bruises.
The death of Engineer Moore is, 50
far, clouded in mystery. 1t was at
first supposed that he had boarded L
train for this city and had fallen of
but no one could be found who saw
him on a train or make any attempt to
board one. Mr. Moore had been. taking
his vacation recently and no explana-
tion can be learned as to how he came
to be at the point where his body was
found, unless he had fallen from a
train.
The body was viewed by DR.. r. J.
Yates. of Alexandria county, who is to
conduct the inquest at Vsheatley's un-
dertak'ng establishment in this city this
afternoon.
At a meeting of the city Democratic
committee, held Saturday night the
following judges were named to serve
in the several wards at the State prim-

Next comes a complicated piece of
poetry full Of parallelisms like that in
the Hebrew psalms: the meaning of it
all is that Enki desired TO save her hu-
man creatures and ordered Ziugidda to
stand by a wall and listen, and she told
him "by our command a rainstorm will
be sent TO destroy the seed Of mankind.
This is the decision of the assembly of
the gods"
Much of the rest is lost because II ap-
pears on the reserse side of the tablet.
Then comes a description of the wind
storms, which possess great power; the
transforms, which were terrible. and
after seven days Ziugidda was saved
in a great boat. and then the sun god
came forth and told him that he was
safe"
As in all Oriental tales when an erring
one IS forgiven, he is loaded with new
honors and presents. So In this case

Jackson, which is now leading the
Cotton States league, will open a ser
les Of three games at Maxent park
this afternoon and upon the result de-
ponds whether Pensacola is to over
take the fast going Lawmakers The
latter lead the Snappers by a margin
OF two full games.
The Lawmakers are considered the
strongest team in the league and have
won their present standing by better
playing. The Snappers on their visit
to Jackson got an even break. winning
one run, tieing one and losing one.
The boys will work hard for a better
showing in the hope of pulling Jack
son down from her perch. for none Of
the other teams seem able to do SO.
All teams switched yesterday and
will open at different points today.
Selma has been playing at Jackson
but Is due to open at home today with
Meridian. provided the games can be
played as scheduled. Columbus and

SHOULD TREAT
CONv|CTS LIKE
HUMAN BEINGS
SUCH IS THE MAIN POINT IN
CONVICT SITUATION, AND THE
STATE SHOULD GIVE SOME At
TENTIoN TO SUCH AN iMPOR-
TANT PHASE, Is OPINION OF
SENATOR HUDSON.
BY FRANK l. HuHAkER.

Tallahassee, May 1.-THE crux
of the convict situation in Florida lies
In giving the unfortunates proper
housing, food and medical attention.
In short, it is treating them humane
ly, and I consider that more impor-
tant than the question of abolishing or
not abolishing the lease system.
However, / favor abolition Of the sys-
tenn in a proper and business-like
manner. The state should be directly
responsible for the welfare Of the
prisoners"
This statement was made by Sem
ator Fred NJ Hudson, of Miami, with
reference to a bill which he has in
troduced, which pertains solely to hu-
name treatment of prisoners. 1.-THE
bill I have introduced said Senator
Hudson, contains no appropriation.
which should be provided in an appro-
priation bill, and it is not drawn to
meet every need. However, I submit
it with the hope that the humane
feature will be Incorporated in some
bill that is passed
The provisions of Senator Hudson's
bill are as follows:
Section 1. The state OF Florida
shall provide proper food, shelter.
clothing, medicine. medical attendance,
keepers, guards and wardens for all
prisoners who may from time to time
be confined in the state prison, and
such provisions shall be made direct
ly through the officers. agents, SER
wants and employees Of the state, and
without the Intervention Of any lesser
or contractor: and 1t shall be unlaw-
full to entrust the performance of such
duties to any lessee or contractor or
any person other than officers, agents.
servants and employees of the state,
either as a part of the consideration
for the hire of said prisoners or upon
any terms whatever.
Section g. The governor shall ap-
point some suitable and fit person to
be. chief warden of the state prison,
such chief warden shall hold office
for a.term of four years and shall re-
ceive a salary of two thousand dollars
per annum, and shall also be entitled
to his actual and reasonable travel
ing expenses incurred in the perform
ance of his official duties. He shall
be under the supervision OF the board
of commissioners OF state institutions.
Section 3. The board of commits
sioners of state Institutions shall en-
ploy all other agents, servants and
employees that may be necessary under
the provisions of this act, and shall
in all respects carry out the provisions
of this act"

UMPIRE cuSAck's RAW DECISION
AT SECOND IN THE FIRST
HALF OF NINTH CAME NEAR
TAKING VICTORY FROM Lo-
GALS.

| The Snappers by game work and
| hard playing won an uphill fight at
Maxenr park before a Sunday multi
| tude of fans, winning from Meridian
| by a score of to 3. The game was
won in the last half Of the ninth and
sent the fans and fanettes home in a
happy mood to dream of a repetition
of the good things today when Jack
son comes for the first visit. The
| score was a tie in the ninth when
Meridian opened and a very raw de-
| cision at second base by Umpire Gu
sack came near robbing the locals of
a victory.
South and Townsend were sent to
,, the mound as the opposing twirlers,
and South remained through the nine
sessions. He pitched gtlt-edged ball,
and IL the Metropolitans cannot win
behind him their chances of defeating
the Snappers are slim indeed.
Townsend, who pitched a most cred
table game Friday, tried to repeat,
but he got away to bad start. Hodge
started the fireworks in the first half
of the third when he raped the pill
for brace and took third on Cult
terez's slow bounder to short. Hauser
in an attempt to catch Hodge off third,
hit the runner in the back and the ball
bounded into left field, Hodge scoring
and Guitterez taking third. Wells hit
the ozone thrice and Townsend came
near spelling the countenance of Smith
when he hurled the pill so close to
the face of the lanky manager that it
clipped his nose. Monemaker, who
was never known to hit anything but
the atmosphere when he wore a Snap
per uniform raped one for single
and Guitterez scored.
Townsend was here 'shooed' to the
bench by Hamilton, as the curves Of
the port slider were breaking badly
and Burmeister was called into the
battle. He was hit occasionally. but
none of the raps counted until the
ninth when Clark first up, rammed
one to right. Gudger fielded the bal,

Hauser's throw to Hamilton in an eff

N RAE TELLS
Of HIS FA|LUE
To MAKE BOND
SAYS TT WAS NOT HIS PURPOSE
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CON-
STITuTloNAL RIGHT GIVEN,
BUT WAS UNDER IMPRESSION
OLD BOND WAS AMPLE sEcuR-
fTY.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


Tallahassee, May 11.-Commission-
er of Agriculture McRae has issued
the following statement with reference
to his failure TO make bond within
the time prescribed by law:
Referring to the matter OF making
bond, will say 1t was not my purpose
to take advantage of a constitutional
right given me as an officer by Sec
ton il. article 16 of the Florida con-
stitution, which says: All state,
county and municipal officers shall
continue in office after the expiration
OF their official terms until their sue
cessors are duly qualified
The bond that I gave when appoint
ed by Governor Gilchrist holds with
absolute effect until I gave the present
one I do not think that any one
doubts that section 298 of the general
statutes of Florida provides that
offices shall be deemed vacant by
neglect or refusal to qualify accord
ing to law within sixty days after
election or appointment This section
could not be construed to apply where
] am my own successor, when my pre-
vious bond by right OF continuance
in Office would hold and my bondsmen
were still liable until l qualified for
my elective term.
NO one out pOlILICdI enemy WOut0
say that have "wilfully" neglected to
qualify for my elective term of four
years.
1t was my purpose to have my bond
made in my home county, but like all
cabinet officials, ] have been worked
overtime on matters other than those
directly connected with the depart
ment: and have only been in Jackson
county twice since before Christmas
and then going on one train and re-
turing on the next Attending only to
personal matters which had to be seen
after.
Therefore, for the information Of
persons who seem interested. will say
that my bond has been made and
filed with the governor today.
Very respectfully,

Commissioner OF Agriculture.

They also said something about the
game at Maxent park several weeks

entirely different team.
It was the Palmer College team that
