BREAK NEWS TO
CONVICTED MEN
TWO NEGROES UNDER DEATH
SENTENCE WERE NOT NoTi-
FLED YESTERDAY OF THE TURN
OF EVENTS IN THEIR FAVOR.

Because he had not been officially
advised of the action taken to at least
temporarily save the necks OF two me-
groes now in the county Jail here,
Sheriff Ellis nor none of his deputies
did not mention to the negroes the
news of the favorable turn of events,
which was noted herein yesterday, but
the darkes, Ed. Maddox and Emmett
Thomas, seem to have learned of their
good fortune in some way, for they
were both in an easy state of mind
yesterday, and were all smiles when
an attache OF the Jail went to the floor
on which they are held in solitary
confinement
Sheriff Ellis, if he is officially in
formed of the filing of the papers. and
the signing of them by Judge Wolfe,
will today tell the two worried negroes
that they are not to be hung until
they are dead, on January 30 next.
The sheriff did not want to let the
negroes know officially that the execu-
ton has been automatically postponed
until he was sure OF 1t himself While
knowing that the papers were signed
by the circuit judge, he did not know
yesterday that the proceedings had
been carried further, but did not doubt
that such a step had been taken.
Yesterday both Thomas and Maddox
were not as prayerful as they had been
in the past, and it was the impression
that they had been told by one of the
inmates. through some of the TRUSTEES
at the institution, that their execution
had been postponed.

The Fight On the
Democratic Ship Bill.


II is unfortunate. to say the least,
that the gain In power of the Republi-
can party at the last elections was
such as to seriously menace the leg
islative program mapped out by the
administration. And It 10 especially
unfortunate in connection with the
shipping bill, framed for the benefit
OF the whole nation and which is.
according to commercial experts. the
only satisfactory legislation that has
ever been proposed for the rehabiIi-
tation OF the United States merchant
marine.
Tho Republican members of con-
gress. it would seem, are but carry
Ing out the demand of the big inter
ests which have always been aligned
with that party, for II has been con-
ciusively shown that practically all
of the coastwise and a large proper
ton OF the foreign commerce OF this
country is controlled, through inter-
locking directorates, by the Rookie
Teller and Morgan combination and
the gigantic financial institutions
which these interests dominate. 1t
Il but natural that they should fear
government owned vessels, for the
government alone has sufficient fnan-
cial power to give protection to inde-
pendent shippers, which these ghouls
Of commerce and industry have sys-
tematically throttled in the past.
The domination of Great Britain in
the commerce of the world has been
possible only through government as
sistance and the great German mer-
chant marine. which. before the war
was a serious rival to England in the
carrying trade of the world, would
have been impossible had 1t not been
for the assistance rendered by the
German empire. For years there has
been cry throughout this country
for freedom from the domination OF
trusts, and today no greater trust is
In existence than that organized by
tho steamship companies who are
