information you have received. Just
who your Phoenix correspondent may
be. is more than l can guess-but-l
can place his knowledge of the truth
as below par.

demned to death, as your correspon-

terminate sentence of from ten years
to life. There is some difference,
don't you think?
have never been accused OF rob-
berry!
The alleged crime for which I was
convicted on purely circumstantial
evidence. was participating in a race
riot In the mining town Of Miami, Ari-
IONA. A Mexican was klled-several
others wounded-the one dying was
slain by being struck by stone. l
didn't throw the fatal stone-no evil
dence was produced at the trial to
prove that l did-although I was with
the boy who did The identity of this
latter youth is well known-but-I was
the only one tried in the case-the
''fall-guy," as the slang phrase has it,.
There was at no time a question of
robbery and surely you as Southern
er know what race riots are. Surely
you would not accuse boy of robbing
the dead, when there is neither evil
dence nor gossip to support such a
foul charge The evidence perhaps
exists in the fertile dream-dope of
your correspondent and gives evidence
of the nature of his heart.
Within two months after my convic-
ton, there was placed in circulation
for my pardon a petition signed by al
the jurymen and the prosecuting Off
Gals, including the judge. Does that

that / was murderer-or that

fencing me, stated very plainly that
he thought he was doing wrong in
passing sentence, but that the law gave
him no alternative. 1t is well known
fact that the son Of judge was the
more guilty boy in the crowd. And

ENCOURAGE LACE MAKING
tBy Associated PreSS.)


Brussels, April 1.-The German civil
government has decided to do some
thing to encourage the Brussels lace
trade during the war. A concern cali
ed the Bureau for Encouraging and
Promoting the Lace Industry during
the war" has been organized here I'M
der the auspices of the government.
It's object is to find a market for Brus-
sells lace in Germany and thus make
1t possible for the thousands of lace
makers of western Belgium-mostly
elderly women and girls-to find en-
ployment.
These women have hiteherto receiv-
ed but small part of the profits de-
rived from the high prices paid for
laces here by foreigners, most of the
profits going to agents and merchants.
1t is claimed that when lace collar
was sold here for 80 francs the women
who made it received only $50 francs
as maximum, for her labor. The Ger
man Bureau proposes now to remedy
this discrepancy. 1t will not be allow
ed to make profit beyond covering
its own expenses; and by offering
laces cheaply in Germany, giving the
buyer a part OF the profits that previ-
ously went to the middleman, the Blu
reau hopes to be able to pay better
prices to the lace-makers than they
have been earning in peace.

BUYS THE FRANK E. SWAIN.
Capt. Roland Quillan Purchases
Boat Which Went Down in Storm.

Capt. Roland Quillan of Laurel, Del,
has purchased the schooner Frank E.
Swain from r. r. White, at Baltimore,
and as soon as the formalities neces-
sary for the transfer of the vessel can
be completed he will take charge of
her. The Swain was a victim of hur-
ricane that swept the south Atlantic
coast in the spring of this year. She
was abandoned by her crew, who were
taken off by passing steamship. Over
turned and without spars, she was
picked up by the revenue cutter 1tasca
and towed into Hampton roads. AS she
lay waterlogged and showing traces of
her fight with the stormy ocean, she
was purchased by Capt. White, who had
her taken to Baltimore and rebuilt, and
she is now ready to resume freighting
work on the coast. The Swain is
comparatively new vessel, having been
built at Camden, Me. in 1909. She Is
three-masted vessel of 34S net tons. and
is 1892 feet long, 80 feet beam and 10
feet deep in the hold. Boston was her
former hailing port and Charles F.
Webb her former managing owner.
The two-masted schooner S. Sawyer
has arrived at Philadelphia with rail-
road ties from the Potomac on her first
trip after being raised from the bottom
of Quantico creek last spring. The Saw
yer Is now owned at Alexandria.

Shortage of Supply in Local Market

A heavy fall OF in the catch of fish Of
all kinds by the nets along the Jersey
coast and in the icinity of Virginia
Beach has caused something of short

market. AS a consequence prices on
several varieties of fish have more than
doubled in price in the past week. The

sign no reason for the fall off in the
catch, except that it Is one of those
things that often occur to those that
