JAMES WESTON
ENTERS PLEA

Sentenced to the federal penitenti-
airy for one year and one day, or a
total of 366 days, was the punish
ment drawn by James Weston, a
white man, yesterday when he APP
peared before Judge Sheppard Of the
United States court, and entered a
plea Of guilty to the Indictment re-
turned against him some weeks ago
for violating the Mann law, or, in
other words, being guilty of white
slavery.
Weston confessed disappointment
when he was returned to the county
Jail, as he had expected that he would
draw sentence of but a few months
at the longest. So disappointed was
he that he said to officers at the
county fail that if he knew that
sentence was going to be placed upon
him, he would not have entered a
plea OF guilty.
Weston will be held about month
longer in the Escambia county jail
to satisfy his county sentence of eight
months. At the expiration Of that
time he will be taken to Atlanta,
where he viii start on the federal
sentence.

BIG SHIPMENT
LEAF TOBACCO.
WILL Be LOADED
STEAMSHIP BRINKBURN, WHICH
ARRIVED YESTERDAY, WILL
START TAKING LARGE CON-
SEGMENT THIS MORNING.

A big shipment of leaf tobacco,
more than 100000 pounds, will be
made aboard the British steamship
Brinkburn, which reached port yes
terday, and which was locked on the
east side of Muscogee wharf. 1t was
stated yesterday that upward of two
hundred hogsheads viii form the
shipment, which will be added to, per-
haps, if space in the ship is available.
Yesterday upon arrival, the Brink
burn worked at the berth above de-
noted, and during the day, among
other items, loaded 500 casks of tur-
pentine and 200 barrels of rosin. It
is said that additional naval stores
will be placed aboard the steamer,
and that tomorrow morning several
timber gangs will go to work on the
vessel.
The Brinkburn came over from
Gulfport, where FIVE different kinds of
manufacturing woods were loaded.
This includes gum, mahogany, oak,
ash and cottonwood, and at Pensa-
cola several additional kinds of wood
will be received, the greater part of
which will be pitch pine timber and
lumber. The steamer comes con-
signed to the Gulf Export Company.

YOUTHS HAD 4
LARGE SUPPLY
OF MEMS SOCKS
FOUR STRANGERS, WHO CLAIM
ED TO HAVE COME FROM NEW
ORLEANS, ARRESTED WHEN
ACTING sUsPICIoUSLY.

Four youths who said they came
over on the excursion train from New
Orleans, were reported in a Greeks
store, at the corner of Gregory and
Cevallos streets, yesterday afternoon
at / o'clock, trying to dispose of
about four dozen pairs of fine socks.
The message was telephoned both to
the police station and to the sheriff's
Office but Deputy Sheriff Collins
reached the. scene first, and caught
three of the youths, the fourth one
getting away.
Taken to the county Jail, the three
gave their names as o. H. Range,
Robert Scott, and Frank Jones, and
altogether they had more than two
dozen pairs of socks. They would
not say definitely where they OBJ
tanned this large supply of mems
footwear, and all we're locked up,
charged with larceny. Their "stock
in trade" is held as evidence against
them.
jim Veraza, the Greek, at the store
where they first entered, said they
had offered the fine footwear so
cheap, and they had so much of it,
that he grew suspicious at once, and
at his first opportunity, notified the
officers. He also told the officers that
the quartette let it out that they had
a large box of goods for sale, and
the deputies were last night trying
to locate said box, in the belief that
some clue will be thus learned to
trace the ownership of the goods.
One of the boys said they came
from Mobile, and were well known
there, but the others contradicted him
in such statement, and finally all
stuck to the allegation that their
homes were in New Orleans, where
they had lived for many years.

SUSPECT
UNDER ARREST

Complaints reached the police sta
ton yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
that a negro was making himself
real Objectionable to white ladies and
children, on East Cervantes street,
and a request was made that an
officer be sent to the scene as quickly
as possible. Mounted Officer Kyle
was detailed to the district, with a
description of the darkey as furnish
ed by the ladies. who made the COM
plant, and within half an hour had
traced to the corner of Lloyd and
Tarragona streets a darkey who gave
his name as w. N. Fila, and who
has been almost correctly identified
as the offending darkey.
He denied that he was in the i'm
mediate neighborhood where the in
dignities were committed, but wit
nesses who had a good look at him
were positive that he was the same
black man, and he will have chance
to tell the recorder about it today.
More than one instance of the in
dignities to women and children on
the part of a negro have been tele-
phoned the station, and yesterday
afternoon when the same complaint
was received, Captain Thos. Cusachs
enlisted the aid of Sheriff Ellis in the
chase. The sheriff's automobile was
handy, while the patrol wagon and
the police departments automobile
had both been used elsewhere. The
police captain reported the case to
Sheriff Ellis and fast time was made
to the spot, but the negro had left
the immediate vicinity, and the next
heard was from Mounted Officer Kyle,
who had arrested the suspected black
man.

WAS SUPPLIED
WITH FOOD BY
GREEK STEAMER
CREW OF THE SMACK LIZZIE
HARPER, WHICH VESSEL
REACHED PORT YESTERDAY.
HAD BAD TALE TO TELL.

Out more than a month, and for
such long period that friends of
members of the crew had begun to
be apprehensive, the fishing smack
Lizzie Harper reached port yester-
day afternoon, and brought, in addi-
ton to a tale of hunger, a cargo of
about fifteen tons of rotted red snap
pers. The fish had been taken in good
condition, but, becalmed and meeting
bad weather generally, kept the Har-
per from reaching her home port, and
came near bringing here some desti-
tute and hungry men, according to the
report made by the skipper.
Buffeted and becalmed, the Harper
lost day after day, until a whole
month had passed. Things began to
look serious about a week ago, for
the food was dwindling, and it looked
like there were going to be some
mighty hungry men aboard. The
thing looked very serious, for it was
apparent to all on board that the
fish catch was becoming unfit for eat
ing.
About the time when things looked
their worst, and when the calm spread
over the water with stiffness that
was enough to worry the life out of
a seasoned SALT. with food getting
lower and lower, smoke was detected
on the horizon. A signal was set, il
was reported, and fortunately it was
picked up by the liner, which proved
to be the Greek steamer Telemachus
enroute from Marseilles to Galveston
The skipper Of the steam vessel took
in the situation at a glance, and a
goodly supply of stores was furnished
the smack. The steamer then started
on her interrupted voyage, while the
Harper started in to catch every
breath of breeze in her spread of can.
vass. It so happened that the wine
did rise, and the distance of 280 miles
where food had been supplied, to Pen.
sacola light, was made without fur.
Their incident There were a number
of persons on the docks yesterda,
who were very happy to note tbs
arrival of this smack, for this is the
season of the year when fishing yes
sells are safer in port than on thu
broad bosom of the gulf.

HELD THAT ACT
Of TOM MAJORS
WAS JUST|F ABLE
CORONER's JURY, INvEsTIGAT-
ING KILLING OF ]. N. HARRI-
SON, ExONERATES MAN WHO
DEFENDED OWN LIFE.

Holding that Thomas Majors was
justifiable in the defense of his own
life, even to the taking of the life of
another, a coroner's jury yesterday,
by such finding, caused the release
of Thomas Majors from the county
Jail, in which place he had been
locked up for the night previous, on
the charge of murder.
Majors, it will be remembered, was
the man who, defending his own life,
fired three shots into the body of
j. N. Harrison, his brother-in-law,
which resulted in the death of the
latter. Majors was clearly acting in
self defense, and all who knew the
circumstances of the affair long pre-
judged the verdict of the jury.
Coroner Will L. Johnson was among
the earliest of the officials on the
scene of the deplorable killing, which
sook place at the home of Harrison,
just north of the city limits, Monday
night. AS soon as he arrived, he Sc
lected the jury himself, in the alb
sence Of the constable or the sheriff,
and such body was composed of H. L.
organs, v. Ritz, v. Piazzo, A. B.
Herrin, j. B. Kelly and C. Currin.
After viewing the situation and the
body of Harrison, the dead man, the
jury adjourned until yesterday. They
assembled at the Office of Judge john
son in the forenoon and then entered
an automobile, going to the home of
the dead man, because they did not
care to force the two sisters, wives
of the men in the trouble, to go to
the county building. Testimony was
taken at the scene, and an advantage
in thus hearing the evidence was that
all locations could be easily fixed.
Not a long time was required to
hear the evidence, and shorter time
was required by jury in reaching a
conclusion. That was that the act of
Majors was regarded as justifable.
The release of the man in the county
Jail followed Immediately.
The funeral of Harrison will be
conducted this afternoon at 8 o'clock.
Hickory Camp No. 81 viii conduct the
ceremonies, and the interment will be
made in Clopton's cemetery.

Pains and Aches
Caused by Kidneys

Many women attribute ailments
and suffering to some disease pecu-
liar to their sex, when often the
pain and misery is caused by weak
or deranged kidneys. Homework,
ONCE work or factory work may
start the trouble, and dizzy spells,
pufnness under eyes, sore muscles
stiff joints, discolored or scanty urine,
sleep disturbing bladder ailments,
rheumatism or diabetes may result.
When the kidneys are strong and
healthy they filter out from the blood
the poisonous waste matter. When
they are sluggish or overworked they
need a medicine to clean them out
and inYigorate action. Foley Kidney
Pills are prepared expressly for the
purpose Of dissolving all poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
in the Joints and muscles and to
cleanse and strengthen stopped-up,
inactive kidneys. Thousands of men
and women in all parts Of the county
testify to the wonderfully satisfac-
tory results they have had from taxi
ing FSieZ KidneZ Pills.
