LOVE FALLS DOWN
FOLLOWING BOAST
Recruit Tells Fans He viii
Pitch Them tOPeRnant
washington Post.)

Slim Love, the elongated twirler.
who has been purchased by the Ma
tionals, created much amusement for
the Memphis fans during the spring
games year ago.
Slim made his advent into profess
sional ball via. Memphis, and the way
he happened to land with the Turtles,
was on account of his bucolic disposi-
ton and odd appearance.
One day Slim dropped into we'll
known cafe in Memphis, the proprietor
of which is very good friend of Bill
Bernhard, manager of the Turtles. Slim
ordered drink and incidentally invit-
ed all at the bar to join him, announc-
ing that he had just come up from
Mississippi to pitch Memphis into a
pennant.
Slim at the time had never seen
Bernhard nor signed with the Memphis
club, but he talked the proprietor of
the place into the belief that he was
one of the best pitchers in the world,
with the result that the proprietor
talked with Bernard and secured Slim
trial.
Slim received his first workout
against the Cleveland club, and struck
out Lajoie with the bases filled.
At the time all Slim could do was
throw, so Bill sent the human bean
pole down to Greenwood, of the Cotton
States League. His stay there was
very brief, as base runners were half
way down tC second before Slim could
deliver the ball.
Greenwood sent him back to Mem
phis and Slim was shortly afterward
released by President Coleman. Slim
pitched independent ball the balance OF
the season and was so effective that
Arthur Riggs signed him up this spriI.,l
for his Selma club. Slim was marvel
in the Cotton States League this year,
and won most of the games he pitched,
having noIhit game to his credit.
Billy Smith was so impressed by the
tall left-handers work that he secured
him for his Atlanta club.

SAVANNAH PHYSICIANS
TESTIFY FOR M'NAUGHTON

Atlanta, Sept. 2.-Affidavits from
eleven Savannah physicians were pre-
sented yesterday afternoon to the
State Prison Commission at the Nc
Naughton case hearing, setting fortn
that Fred Flanders, whom DR.. Me
Naughton is under sentence for muir
dering, did not show symptoms Or
arsenic poisoning.
Each of the affidavits set forth that
the physician making it was acquaint-
.. ed with symptoms like those which
were. admittedly those of Flanders
and that they indicated nephritis rath-
er than poisoning. Some of the aff1-
davits even set forth that some of the
symptoms which existed could not
have been present of the patient had
been dying from arsenic poisoning.
Nephritis, it will be recalled, is the
cause that DR.. McNaughton reported
on Flanders death.
The physician who has been so long
under death sentence, and whose case
has been appealed so many times, was
represented by Attorneys Frank H.
Saffold and John Bennell. The latter
will go to Thomasville today, he in
formed the state prison board, to get
affidavits which will show, he says
that Flanders took arsenic as a tonic,
prior to the time he knew DR.. Nc
Naughton, when Flanders was an en-
ployee of a saw mill at that place.

SNYDER ON STAND
IN SNEED CASE
Testifies Regarding Rela-
tions of Mrs. Sneed
and Boyce

Vernon, Tex, February 1.-THE
prosecution in the trial of John B..
Sneed. accused of having killed Al G.
Boyce, Jr., concluded the presentation
of direct testimony today and several
witnesses for the defense were heard
before court adjourned. Capt Thomas
Snyder, father of Mrs Sneed, testified
that he had upbraided members of the
Boyce family because of their failure
to inform him of the alleged improper
relations between his daughter and Al
Boyce, the cause of the ennity between
Sneed and the young ranchman.
At times his voice was broken by
emotion and his recital was dramatic.
y would have crawled through the
snow on my knees to tell a friend of
such conditions" he said when refer
enoe was made to the love affair.
Again he exclaimed: II am an old
man---14 years old-and have tried to
live right and bring up my children
right. But l could have shot down like
yellow dog a man who brought this
kind of a thing on me-"
|, Lynn Boyce brother of the man
killed, said he became aware of the
relation between Mrs Sneed and al
Boyce In the summer of 1911. He was
of the opinion that Sneed killed his
brother last September solely because
of this affair.

SIGNAL TRIBUTE IS |
PAID WASHINGTON
Many Hear COl0red Educa-
tor at Montgomery
Sunday

Montgomery, February 17.-(Special.)-
Booker t. Washington has dined at the
White House, he has received honorary
degrees from several of the largest uni
versties in the world, and he has met
members of royalty in his travels through
Europe, but it is doubtful IL he has
had more signal tribute paid him than
that which was accorded him in Mont
gomery Sunday afternoon when the gov
ernor of the state of Alabama, judges
OF the supreme court state and city of
foials, ministers of large churches and
prominent and influential business men Of
the city heard him deliver an address
at negro church here.
There were more than 100 white peo-
pie present to hear Washington speak,
nearly one-fourth OF whom were women,
whose maids and cooks and buffers were
In the audience. Yet there was the same
respect shown the white people on the
part of the negroes that was accorded
them in their homes. Seats were vacated
to give room for the mistress and their
white employers, the negroes .surging
backward towards the rear of the
church,
DR.. washington preached that doctrine
in his address. He urged the negro's
education, in order that they might be-
come more competent laborers; that they
might render better service in the white
mans home, on the white mans farm,
or In the white mans office,
Governor O'Neal occupied a scat on the
platform. as did two members of the SUI
prcrne court and other state officials.
Following the address of the negro edu-
Gator, Governor O'Neal made timely
speech, ringing applause from the crowd
ed house. and voicing the sentiment of
all the white people present. He de-
clared that the negro's ignorance, his
poverty, and his degradation would have
sufficient weight to drag the white peo-
pie oown If the negro's condition were
not improved, stating that 1t was the
duty of the white people to help the
black race in order to improve the eco
nomic and Industrial conditions Of the
state.
The occasion was probably unlike any
other that was ever witnessed in the
state. The majority of the white people
present shook hands with DR.. Washing
ton when the meeting adjourned, after
which they left the church, the negroes
standing aside to allow the white people
to pass. None of the white people pres
ent regretted having heard Booker
Washington speak.

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, February III p. m.)-
Pressures have decreased steadily during
the past "a hours over the entire coun-
try, except the lake region and the Pa
cjfic northwest, and the winds have been
light and southly over the southern states.
This change in pressure has not been
sufficient to bring about unsettled condi-
tons over the interior of the country,
but it has caused a general rise in tenn
peratures east of the>Rockes. Readings
exceeded 80 degrees over the plains states
from South Dakota southwark at p. m.
while throughout the cotton states read
ings at that hour ranged above go de.
grees.
Snow has continued throughout the
lake region and the northern half of the
Atlantic slope. Rain was general over
the Pacific northwest and the northern
half of the intermountain plateau. Tenn
peratures were below freezing in no Sec
tion, except the country east and north
of Lake Erie.
1t seems probable from tonight's map
that no marked change will occur in
weather conditions in this section during
the next 36 hours. fair pleasant weather
continuing Tuesday and probably Wednes-
day.

SLOAN OPPOSED TO
AN EXTRA SESSION
u. S. District Attorney Be-
lieyes Sessions DemOral-
ize Business

Montgomery, February 17.--(Special)-
James B. Sloan, United States district
attorney at Mobile and former state
senator from the third district, is op-
posed to an extra session of the legis-
lature. He told Governor ONeal today
when he conferred with the executive.
Mr.. Sloan believes sessions of the leg
islature demoralizes business and says
that IL an extra one can be avoided it
ought not be held. Mr.. Sloan said ile
believed the senate would confirm his
appointment as district attorney. He
is republican and was the only repub-
1ican in the senate in 1911.
II have some strong endorsements and
feel confident that my appointment will
be confirmed before the present session
of the senate is adjourned said Mr..
Sloan.
Mr.. Sloan's appointment has not been
confirmed by the senate because of the
change in administrations and the taking
over of the government by a new party.
He resigned from the state senate when
the appointment as district attorney was
made by President Taft to succeed \. H.
Armbrecint.

FAIR BERRY CROP is
EXPECTED in SUMTER
Recent Cold Spell Holds Back Fruits.
Large Acreage In Tomatoes
Will Be Planted

Cuba, February 17.--(Special.) The
cold weather of the past few days has
given strawberry growers great hope
that fair crop may now be made. The
warm weather had caused the plants
to bloom and fears were entertained
that the crop would be cut or by later
cold waves.
Peach growers are also hopeful that
the fruit crop may be good this season
Examinations made show that no buds
were killed by the last freeze.
Orchards are being put in shape, and
especially that of the Mcconnell Can
ming company, as they hope to can sew
eral cars of peaches this year. The
home canning outfits are preparing to
do a big business this coming summer.
The farmers will plant considerable
tomatoes and with other crops it will
require a solid carload of empty cans
for the home Gamers alone.

I.P. MORGAN IS
REPORTED ILL WITH
ACUTE INDIGESTION
Noted Financier Taken III in
Cairo, Egypt-Condition
Much Improved-Spec-
ulatOrs Alarmed

Cairo. Egypt, February III. Pier
pont Morgan, who had beeen suffering
from indigestion both before and since
he left the United States, has much i'm
proved in condition since his return to
this city on Saturday from his trip up
the Nile.
New York, February 17.--Trom au-
thoritative private sources it was
learned that Mr.. Morgan had an acute
attack of indigestion three or four days
ago, but it passed off and he is now in
his usual health. He is leaving Alex
andria today on the Caronia for Naples
and is due in Naples on the twenty
sixth. He expects then to take his usual
journey up through italy.
J. P. Morgan C Co. also received a
cablegram from the financier. 1t was
dated Cairo. and said Mr.. Morgan was
in good spirits and probably would stay
there a fortnight. Reports OF Mr.. Nor
gan's illness alarmed spectators in the
stock market and when trading begun
stocks were unloaded in large amounts.
Prices broke abruptly.
In all the speculative leaders there
were wide openings. The first trans
actions in United States Steel amounted
to over 5000 shares at 62 to 627s,
maximum decline of points. Sales Of
1900 Union Pacific broke the price of
that stock to 1856, a 2 point decline.
Reading sustained like loss. Aside
from steel the so-called Morgan stocks
were fairly steady. International Har-
vester and Erie, which are classed in
lower Losses throughout the market
ranged from points in the case of
Canadian Pacific to point or more in q
long list of railroad and industrial
stocks. Reassuring reports concerning
Mr.. Morgan's condition soon stemmed
the tide of selling and at the end of
the first hour the market was steady
and prices had reached a slightly high
er level.
j. p. Morgan, Jr., today received n
cablegram from his father at Alexan-
dria, Egypt, saying that he had so far
recovered form an attack of acute in
digestion that he had decided to return
to Cairo and not go to Europe as at
first planned. An active member of j.
p Morgan 6s Co. affirmed that Mr.. Nor
gan had an acute attack of indigestion
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.
and added that j. p Morgan, Jr., had
on Saturday received most reassuring
advices from his father indicating that
the attack was practically over at that
time. 1t was said that Mr. Morgans
family and friends felt absolutely no
concern regarding him and that in all
probability by this time he had COM
pletely recovered

Wickersham's Opinion

Washington, February T.-Discussing
the efficacy of the Sherman law as a
criminal statute, Attorney General Wick
eisham expressed the belief that when
ever the government could prove .
trust guilty of business methods rec
ognized as distinctly unfair under any
code of morals and the offenses are of
recent origin, a jury would return a
verdict of guilty. His four years expe-
rience in enforcing the antitrust law
convinced him. he added, that it must
be a clear cut case of unfairness and
acts complained of must have been COM
m.tted since the supreme courts de-
cision defining the meaning and scope
of the antitrust law.
The constitutionality of the Sherman
law as a criminal statute. the Attorney
General said, had been upheld by the SUI
preme court in several cases.
