Monday night, May 31st, work will begin in earnest on the musical part of the program. Rev. N. H. Pius, D. D., of Springfield, O., will have his first public rehearsal of 100 or more voices. The chorus will be organized and practice will begin at once. The mammoth pipe organ at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church will peal forth its tones of sweetest melody every night until the grand opening. The various church choirs have sent in their selections of well-trained voices, so that Nashville will be able to produce a chorus equal to any that has ever rendered music before a national organization. Speakers and prominent workers such as Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., of Richmond, Va.; A. C. Edwards, of Richmond; C. T. Stamps, of Edwards, Miss.; and T. J. Goodall, of Clarksville, are among the recent ones to send in notice that they would be on hand. The Rev. Dr. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., has just notified the Secretary of the Congress Movement that he will be on hand, and thus the Sunday-School Missionary Mass-Meeting, which will be one of the leading features of the Congress, will be addressed Sunday afternoon by this eminent divine. Summing it all up, Nashville will offer her homes to the delegates and visitors as "Liberty Hall." The first day's reception and first night's program will be announced next week, according to advice obtained at Congress headquarters. DRAKE KINDERGARTEN.

ATTACHMENTS IN SHIPP CASE SUPREME COURT ACTS IN THE JOHNSON LYNCHING AFFAIR. Ex-Sheriff Must Answer to Charge of Contempt of Highest Tribunal. Reviewing the proceedings in the case of Ed Johnson, who was lynched, the Chief Justice pointed out that even before the case was brought to the Supreme Court, there had been many threats of lynching. Continuing, he said of the proceeding on the night of the lynching: "The assertions that mob violence was not expected and that there was no occasion for providing more than the usual guard of one man for the jail in Chattanooga are quite unreasonable and inconsistent with statements made by Sheriff Shipp and his deputies that they were looking for a mob on the next day." The Chief Justice pointed out that the jail had been left entirely unguarded and in charge of Deputy Gibson when every precaution to guard the prisoner should have been taken. Shipp's Interview. He quoted liberally from an interview given out by Shipp some days after the lynching in which Shipp said that he "did not attempt to hurt any of the mob," and in which he charged the Supreme Court with the responsibility for the lynching because of its interference in the case. Commenting on this utterance, the Chief Justice said: "He evidently resented the necessary order of this court as an alien intrusion, and declared that the court was responsible for the lynching. According to him, the people of Hamilton County were willing to let the law take its course until it became known that the case would probably not be disposed of for four or five years by the Supreme Court of the United States.' 'But,' he added, 'the people would not submit to this, and I do not regret it.' Politics in It. "In other words, his view was that because this Court, in the discharge of its duty, entered the order which it did, that therefore, the people of Hamilton County would not submit to its mandate and hence the Court became responsible for the mob. He took the view expressed by several members of th mob on the afternoon of the 19th and before the lynching when they said, referring to the SuCourt, 'they had no business interfering with our business at all.' His reference to 'the people' was significant, for he was a candidate for reelection, and had been told that his saving the prisoner from the first attempt to mob him would cost him his place, and he answered that he wished the mob had got him before he did. "It seems to us that to say the Sheriff and his deputies did not anticipate that the mob would attempt to lynch Johnson on the night of the 19th is to charge them with gross neglect of duty and with an ignorance of conditions in a matter which vitally concerns them all as officers and is directly contrary to their own testimony. It is absurd to contend that officers of the law, who have been through the experience these defendants had passed through two months prior to the actual lynching did not know that a lynching probably would be attempted on the 19th. Charges Duty Neglected Charges Duty Neglected. The Chief Justice also declares that after Johnson was taken from the jail the Sheriff had made no effort to go after the lynchers or to reach the police or militia or others. "When," he said, "Shipp reached the jail he could have gone about three blocks to the police station and got the police. No attempt was made to summon a posse. He sent no one after the deputies, and he made no effort to send any one for help. Although Shipp was in the midst of or near the members of the mob for about an hour, he did not seek to identify any of them, and he testifies that he does not know any member of the mob." Reaching the conclusion with reference to Shipp, the Chief Justice said "that Shipp not only made the work of the mob easy, but in effect aided and abetted it." Gibson's Case. The Court found Jailer Gibson to be involved in the same condemnation, though under less responsibility. Consequently attachments were or-Continued on Page 5.) NEXT GENERAL CONFERENCE AFRIGAN METHO DIST EPICOPAL CHURCH. Invited to Hold Next Session in Nashville. MINISTERS' CONFERENCE DECIDE TO SEND DELEGATION TO LAY MATTER BEFORE THE COMMISSION IN JUNE—COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS APPOINTED—NASHVILLE WILL BE SOUNDED ON THE PROPOSITION — BELIEVED THAT NASHVILLE WILL TRY TO CAP TURE NEXT MEETING. At the meeting of the A. M. E. Ministers' Conference last Tuesday it was definitely decided by that body to make strenuous efforts to bring the next sitting of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to this city. It will convene in 1912, but the place of meeting will be selected at the meeting of the commission that will be held at Wilberforce University on the 17th of June. At the meeting above mentioned a committee was appointed to canvass the city and find out what inducements the citizens would offer. The sitting of a General Conference means thousands of dollars to a city, and it is believed that Nashville will be wide awake to this fact. Over five hundred delegates are elected to the meeting which runs from twenty to twenty-five days, and there are always several hundred visitors in attendance. A delegation will be sent to lay the claim of Nashville before the commission when it convenes to settle on a place of meeting. Many of the leading cities in the country will bid for the meeting, but there is no place in the United States that can offer better inducements than the capital of Tennessee. The forty or fifty thousand Negroes here are as hospitable and generous as are to be found anywhere. The conveniences in the way of local travel cannot be excelled, and the geographical situation is without an equal, being the most centrally located city in the country as regards the majority of the Negro population. The Conference meets in May, at which season good weather is guaranteed in this section. The Nashville Railway will by that time have constructed several of their proposed terurban lines, which afford the comforts of rides in the surrounding country. The delegation going up from Nashville will be well supplied with information about their home city, and with the proper effort there is no reason why they should not succeed. PUBLISHING HOUSE NIGHT. During the sessions of the Congress, the National Baptist Publishing House will be given one night in which they will have a special program. This plant has employed in it some of the best talent in the city, hence whatever night is given them, the public, as well as the Congress visitors will be favored with an excellent program. While the program is not complete, the following has already been announced representing the various departments: Bookkeepkeeping and accountant department, Miss Bessie T. Matlock; mailing-room, shipping and book department, Mr. John Ridley; seating and cabinet department and boiler room, Mr. James Haynes; book bindery and embossing department, Mr. L. S. Gray; press-room and press department, Mr. James G. Blaine Boyd; proof-reading department, Miss Nellie E. King; stenographic department, Miss Eleanor Battle; composing room department, Mr. Evans Tyree; linotype department, Mr. A. G. Price; poem "Sunday-School Congress," Mr. Dan Hackley Winston; editorial department, Miss L. E. Chambers. Master of ceremonies, Mr. J. D. Crenshaw. If is understood that Dr. R. H. Boyd will make the opening remarks as Secretary of the Board, introducing Dr. C. H. Clark, the chairman. All of the employees will sit together, making a good showing. NEW CONCERN FOR NASHVILLE PEOPLE'S SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST COMPANY Will Be Located on Cedar Street in Prominent Business Section. A formal meeting for organization of the People's Savings Bank & Trust Company was held Wednesday night. In addition to the election of officers, the stockholders announced that they would be ready for business July 1, at 410 Cedar street. The capital stock is to be $50,000. The officers of the new bank are Dr. R. F. Boyd, President; A. N. Johnson, Vice President; A. M. Townsend, Second Vice President; D. A. Hart, Third Vice President; T. G. Ewing, Cashier; W. D. Hawkins, Teller; W. H. Bumpas, attorney, and S. P. Harris, auditor. T. Clay Moore will be at the head of the real estate department. The Executive Committee will be Dr. R. F. Boyd, T. G. Ewing, J. B. Singleton, J. H. Hale and J. W. Simmons. This bank adds to the many enterprises conducted in this city by Negroes. When the One Cent Savings Bank opened its doors a few years ago it was apparent then that it would only be a matter of time before another similar concern would be started in this city. No one has ever doubted but that the banking business would be a success, and the opening of this new bank is merely the culmination of mature consideration. The new concern will do a general banking business and in addition will have the trust and real estate features. SCHOOL COMMENCEMENTS. Season for Commencement Exercises Here. Some of the oldest and most substantial educational institutions of the Southland are preparing to begin their annual exercises. Quite a few of them have passed their half century mark, and yet they are showing greater activity in the educational advancement of the Negro. In this city the colored department of the Tennessee School for the Blind began their commencement exercises on Wednesday night, May 26th, with a musical exhibition. The exercises began promptly at 7:30 o'clock in the main chapel of their school, which is located on Tennessee street. Mrs. S. M. Lowe, the principal, is to be congratulated upon another successful work. Mrs. Lowe winds up her twenty-eighth year as head of this department of the state's educational work. Her associates this year, in particular, have labored under disadvantages, and yet the exercises Wednesday night show the result of careful training. The annual sermon will be preached by Rev. G Lake Imes, pastor of Howard Congregational Church, at three o'clock Sunday afternoon. The exercises for the primary and intermediate departments will be held Monday evening May 31st, at 7:30, while the closing exercises proper will be held Wednesday evening, June 2nd, at 7:30. At Fisk. The theological department of Fisk University will have its graduating exercises Sunday, May 30th, 2:30 p. m., in the Memorial Chapel. In this class are four who will be presented diplomas from the divinity department of Fisk University, of which number Nashville has three representatives in the person of Scott Washington Crosthwait, John Charles Fields and William Bowie Vassar, the fourth being Howard Wallace Warner, of Atlanta, Ga. SOCIAL CLUB The Social Club met with Miss Lucy Sims, 52 Seventh street, Tuesday evening, May 18th, 1909. The members responded to roll call. After business was transacted a two-course menu was served. Miss Hattie Bender, President; Miss Nancy Cheatham, Treasurer; Miss Mammie Turner, Secretary. TO PARENTS AND FRIENDS. No. 21. NIGHT SCHOOL GLOSES FIRST SESSION IN GOOD CONDITION. Hadley School Building Packed Friday Night. CITIZENS SHOW UNUSUAL INTEREST IN EXERCISES—PROF. BENTON TELLS OF WORK FOR THE SCHOOL TERM — SCHOLARS FROM DIFFERENT CLASSES MAKE TALKS—GRADES RANGE FROM FIRST TO EIGHTH—DR. R. B. LEES, PRESIDENT OF BOARD OF EDUCATION, DELIVERS ADDRESS. The first session of the Hadley night school came to a close last Friday night. Long before the exercises began the second story of the building was crowded with citizens from every section of the city to witness the closing exercises of the first night school opened in this city for Negroes. No more representative gathering of Nashville's Afro-American citizenship has ever been seen than that assembled on this occasion. Everyone seemed to be deeply interested in the night school closing. Some, no doubt, were there for mere curiosity, but it was evident that the majority of those present were anxious to see if those who have been attending this school could show any signs of progress, and the talks of those who volunteered to say something in an impromptu way would convince the most pessimistic mind that every dollar spent for the fostering of this has been well spent. A striking feature of the occasion was the age of some of the scholars. There is no limit to age in the night school and the citizens have taken advantage of that. Prof. Benton in his remarks stated one of his pupils was seventy two years old. The exercises were opened by singing and prayer. Principal Benton then told of the workings of the school. He stated how the idea of having night school sessions was worked out by the Board of Education. He said that at one time there were over three hundred pupils in the school, and at the time of closing they had over one hundred. He stated that they had not prepared any special program, but would ask for volunteers to represent the different grades. He began with the fifth, and one and two from each grade made talks. They were all very interesting in that they brought out the present thoughts of the pupils. It was clearly evidenced that the scholars are awake to the needs of an education, and furthermore that there are hundreds in this city who either have not had the opportunity to acquire a common education or who have abused their privileges of early life and desire to correct their mistakes as far as they can. The pupils were allowed to continue their talks until nine o'clock when Prof. Benton informed them that their time was out. He then introduced Dr. R. B. Lees, president of the Board of Education, who was to address the class. He said in part: "It is a great pleasure for me to be here with you to-night. I have not prepared any set speech, because they are usually long and tiresome. I am going to talk to you to-night from my heart." He said when the idea of having a night school was mentioned to him he thought it was a good one, and he told the board what he thought about it, and the school was established. That it had succeeded was beyond doubt, and the school will run next term and probably others will be established. Dr. Lees then took the obligations attached to good citizenship, and cover every phase of life; and all present were benefited by what he said. He was very optimistic in his views, and his expressions were such as to broaden the minds of his hearers. At times he was witty and proved himself to be a philosopher of no mean ability. He said none of us are very good, but it is every one's duty to be the very best citizen he can. He said "You are all republicans I know, but I am a democrat. You are republicans I suppose because your fathers were but the time is coming when you will change from that. You will vote for the man who is an honest man and acts fair by every body." He admonished his audience to be thrifty, honest and courageous. "You cannot make a leader of an immoral man, nor of grafters and skin-flints, you must make leaders of the best men you have." Continuing, he said, "Do not criticise the board of education unjustly, and do not allow your papers to do it." He said if a criticism was just it should be made. The speaker closed his address by reading a few lines of poetry appropriate to the occasion. The audience sang two verses and adjourned. TWENTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES.

After business Mrs. Thomas cordially invited the club in the dining-room where an elaborate two-course menu was served. The beautiful table linen and evergreens made the room desirable for the occasion. All the members of the club were highly pleased with the occasion. Mesdames Susie Johnson, President; Ella Bell, Treasurer; Mary L. North. Secretry. CLOSING OF PHILLIPS UNIVER SITY, TEXAS. Tyler, Tex., May 22.—(Special)—The commencement exercises of Phillips University of this city, formerly Texas College, have just been completed. This school is one of the leading schools of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church and has a unique and interesting history.

The building proper cost $35,000, the entire amount being paid in three single collections by Negroes themselves. Bishop Chas. Henry Phillips, of Nashville, is president of the board of trustees, and the leader who raised these unprecedented amounts of $10,000 in single effort, and because of his work the name of the school was changed over his protest to that of Phillips University. The Rev. Simon W. Broome, A.M., D.D., a thorough scholar, is president. Among the members of his faculty are prominent Nashvillians. Miss Hazel T. Thompson has charge of the musical department, and the special music as given by her pupils during the commencement made a decided hit. Others are Prof. J. T. Phillips, professor of Latin and French and also director of famous Phillips University Glee Club, that is well and favorably known all over the state. Dr. Chas. H. Phillips is lecturer on hygiene in connection with his practice in this city. Other well-known teachers of the higher departments are Professors J. S. Vaughn, A. B. (Greek and German); A. M. D.

COMMENCEMENT AT THE ACAD EMY OF THE IMMACULATE MOTHER. The commencement exercises of The Academy of The Immaculate Mother will take place this year, Monday, June 7th, at 8 p.m. This is the school established by Mother Katharine (Drexel) some years ago for the education of the colored youth. It has so rapidly grown in popular favor with our people that the concert hall is insufficient to accommodate the friends who desire to attend its public exercises. The authorities, therefore have found it necessary to limit the attendance by invitations so that the parents of the children will not be crowded out. However, the general public is cordially invited to the exhibit of school work on Sunday, May 30th from 1 p. m. to 5 p. m. On this occasion it will be a gratifying treat to our people to witness the progress of the students during this year as evidenced by the exhibits of dressmaking, sewing, domestic science and class-work. All are invited. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH RALLY. The members of the First Baptist Church had a splendid rally of $300 last Sunday.

That Roger Williams University has always been an object of pride to the citizens of Nashville goes without saying. In Nashville she has had and still has sympathizers and well-wishers. This sympathy is now increased from a realization of the misfortunes that have come to her, and the untiring struggles she has undergone and is still undergoing in an effort to be re-established. What Roger Williams is to Nashville as an institution, the part she plays in the moral, social and intellectual uplift of our people in Nashville is inestimable. The citizens of Nashville, therefore, cannot nor will allow the work that has been begun there to stop. The Board of Trustees have done their work so far wisely and well. All the money on hand has been spent and unless the citizens of Nashville come to our rescue with $1,000 by May 30th, the work must stop. The Board of Trustees of Roger Williams University, through their educational Secretary, are now making an appeal to the citizens of Nashville for help. They have erected on the campus of Roger Williams University Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Co OF WALDEN UNIVERSITY OF NASHVILLE, T The Next Medical Session Will Begin Sept. 15 AND CONTINUE SEVEN MONTHS The Pharmaceutical College begins its work Sept. 22 continuing six months.

Now they must have at least $1,000 by the 30th of May in order to keep the work in progress and they are now making their first appeal to Nashville for help. To this end a committee of twenty persons has been appointed to solicit subscriptions and collect money. We feel confident that Nashville will sustain her reputation and show her interest to Roger Williams by assisting the Board of Trustees and Educational Secretary and this Committee to raise the amount asked for.

FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1909. NIGHT SCHOOL CLOSING. The closing of the first session of the Hadley night school brought to an end an effort that has done great good to a large number of people. Three hundred persons collected to one point in a city the size of Nashville indicates that there are many others who need a chance to improve their conditions educationally, and who would avail themselves of the opportunity if more schools, on the order of the one which closed Friday night, were established in reach of them. It was clearly brought out by each of the pupils who volunteered to make a talk that they realize the need of, at least, a common school education. The president of the Board of Education delivered an address to the school, which was very timely for them and every one else who heard him. He said some things that were very significant. For instance, he took special pains to advise that newspapers published by members of the race do not criticise the Board unjustly. We heartily concur in that suggestion. He said further, however, that when they deserve to be criticised they ought to be; we most heartily concur in that opinion, and know that the Knowles School comes under the justifiable cause. Dr. Lees said more. He put special stress on the fact that immoral, irresponsible men will not make leaders. We do not believe any one will dare contradict that, and we believe further that those who heard the statement made were impressed with the earnestness with which it was emphasized. We believe they were made to see the weakness of such men. Another statement incidentally made by the honorable president on which he can probably be enlightened was that all of those present were republican in their political faith simply because their fathers were. You only have to revert to the last state election to find out the true status in this matter. One gentleman who ran for governor declared that he was defeated by the votes of Negroes. So we must take it for granted that they voted for the democratic candidate for that office, as he was elected. The Negroes of Nashville are thinking, and they are showing a disposition to be able to think intelligently. No better proof of this can be produced than the anxiety they exhibited in their attendance at the night school, for every one of them plead to the president of the Board and the teachers to make the school permanent. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MAY 28. 1909 The strike of the white union fireman on the railroad in the State of Georgia seems to have grown more serious in the last few days. Traffic on that road is at a stand still, and at some points the people are suffering for the necessities of life. And what for? Simply because the railroad company decided to employ black men as firemen. The laboring white man is carrying his pet scheme too far for his own good. There are between twelve and fifteen millions of black people in this country, and they earn their living by labor. To deny them the right to earn a living means that the number of criminals will be increased tenfold. All Negroes will not be content to work on the farm, and for that matter, at no other one vocation. They are like other men; some take up one occupation and some another. And it is not fair to be continually pushing them out of the different occupations. It will be the wiser plan for the laboring white man to decide to work side by side with the black laboring class. It will be better for him and just to the black man. It would be wisdom to do it peaceably rather than to be forced to do it. The Georgia case is one among many, and the practice is not confined to any section, but is carried on in all parts of our country. The black man is a citizen. He pays taxes and has the same right to accept a job as fireman on a railroad as any one else. TARIFF REFORM. As time rolls on and conditions change men of thought change their views. In years past the South would not listen to any argument that smacked of a protective tariff, but to-day we have men in the halls of Congress sent up from the extreme Southland contending for a protective tariff on the products in their section of the country, that in their judgment, need to be protected against foreign trade. Senator McEnery, of Louisiana, is asking for protection on sugar, while Senator Bristow, of Kansas, is asking that the present rate be reduced. Senator Bailey, of Texas, is looking after the lumber industry of his state, and others—the ablest men from the South—are putting aside their party doctrine and are looking at the thing in a common-sense way. It is evident that the South is waking up. It is no longer for low tariff because some Northern democrat says so, but only when it will conserve to the best interests of the country, or that section of the country where the commodity is produced. Senator Taylor, the popular Tennessee, summed up the situation when he said in effect that tariff reform meant how it effected the individual. SHERIFF SHIPP CASE The Supreme Court has at last rendered a decision in the Sheriff Shipp case, and all that remains to be done now is to say what the punishment shall be for Shipp and his associates. This case has attracted wide-spread attention. Over ten million citizens of the United States have been anxiously waiting for the decision of the Supreme Court, not that Ed. Johnson would he helped in any way, but that the people might know what to expect of the highest authority in the land. It is not known what the punishment will be, but the decision settles the fact that a sheriff, be the accused black or white, owes a duty to every one in his custody. That Nashville is a progressive city is being exemplified constantly. When it was learned that the Commission appointed by the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church would meet in June, and decide where the next session of the General Conference will be held, prominent citizens here urged upon the ministers of that denomination to put forth an effort to have it held in Nashville. No city in the country is better prepared than this to care for that body, and we guarantee to entertain them loyally if they come to the capital of the Old Volunteer State. The information comes to us that the Negroes of Nashville will have thrown open to them on July 1, the doors of another bank. This is another evidence of the wealth of our colored citizens, and shows also that the black men are thinking. The Baptist Sunday-School Congress will soon hold an annual session in this city. Nashville's colored citizenry will be on record, and we hope they will not be found wanting. The Leland Giants baseball team came to our city the first of the week and beat our boys to a frazzle. We believe they will profit by the experience. LYNNVILLE NOTES. The people of this place have been highly entertained for the last week by school commencements. The public school at Round Hill had their exercise Friday and Friday night, May 14, which proved to be most successful, their teacher being Prof. E. S. Rose, of Waco. The commencement of the Colored High School at this place took place Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Each night the house was filled to its utmost capacity.

To the Members of the Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention: You are hereby notified that a meeting of the Board will be held in the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday, the 9th day of June, 1909, at 10 o'clock a. m.

CARNEY FASHIONABLE TAILOR 418 Cedar Street Nashville, Tennessee The Supreme Court's Decision. To the Nashville Globe: Caesar fell at the base of Pompey's statue pierced by a dagger in the hand of Brutus, among the rest of the conspirators (mob). Late at night some time afterward, while seated in his apartment on the tented field, he was startled by the unceremonious entrance of Caesar's ghost, that informed him that for the part he had taken with the mob in his assassination it would with retribution meet him (Brutus) on the embattled plain of Philippi. And true to promise it met him there. The ghost of Ed Johnson has stalked abroad and would not be allayed until it met those responsible for the protection of his life, but who were derelict in their duty, at the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. The decision recently rendered by that high tribunal holds that somebody in Hamilton County was and is responsible for the going of Ed Johnson in disobedience to its high mandate. The Court holds that if its orders are ignored and defied with such reckless disregard, without punishment falling on those responsible therefor, then law is a farce and a mockery and the foundation of the government has been destroyed. But as a matter of self-preservation it has acted in this case to the extent of awarding punishment. Its decision is final and the apparition of Johnson will no more visit, as one has said, the glimpses of the moon. There must have been that in his case that warranted investigation or the information on which the appeal went up to the Court would have been dismissed. The law is all-sufficient in every instance. The law-abiding will await its action, and the non-law-abiding should be taught that such is the safe way in a democratic-republican government. MR. T. CLAY MOORE ALL SMILES.

(vontinued Irom rage 1.) j dered to be issued for both the Sher- iff and his deputy, the jailer, as they were for Williams, Nolen, Padgett and May, the last four being charged with being members of the lynching party. Against them, to use the technical language of the Court, “the rule was made absclute.” Deputy Galloway and Justice and Ward were discharged. ‘The Court said there was direct testimony of the partici pation of Williams and Nolen in the lynching, while he stated that Pad- get and May had themselves made statements which incriminated them. In conclusion, the Chiet Justice said: Oposition to the Court. “I our opinion, it does not admit of question from this record that this lamentable riot was the direct result of opposition to the administration of law by this court. It was not only in defiance of our mandate, but was understood to be such, ‘The Supreme Court of the United States was called upon to abdicate its functions and de- cline to enter such orders as the oc- casion, In its judgment, demanded be- ‘cause ‘of the danger of defeat by an ‘outbreak of lawless violence. Tt is plain that what created this mob and Jled to this lynching was the unwill ingness of its members to submit to the delay required for the appeal. The intent to prevent that delay by defeating the hearing of the appeal necessarily follows from the defend- ant's acts, and if the life of any one in the custody of the law is at the merey of the mob, the administration of justice becomes a mockery. When this court granted a stay of execu tion on Johnson's appeal, it became its duty to protect him until his ease should be disposed of. And, when its mandate issued for his protection was defied, punishment of those guilty of such attempt must be awarded." Concede the Facts. “Under the facts shown, when the Sheriff and his deputies assert that they expected a mob on the 20th they practically concede the allegation of the information that they were in: formed and had every reason to be lieve an attempt would be made on the evening of the 19th or early in [the morning of the 20th. “In view of this, Shipp’s failure to make the slightest preparation to re: sist the mob; the absence of all the deputies except Gibson from the jail during the mob's proceedings, occupy: ing a period of some hours in the early evening; the action of Shipp in not resisting the mob and his failare to make any reasonable effort to save Johnson or identify the mem: bers of the mob justify the inference of a disposition upon his part to ren: der it easy for the mob to lynch John: lson and to acquiesce in the lynch | ing.” SPORT. LANGFORD WON IN FOURTH. Boston Heavyweight Knocks Out Eng- lish Champion. ~ London, May 24.—Sam Langford, of Boston, knocked out Ian Hague, the heavyweight champion of Eng- land, in the fourth round at the Na- tional Sporting Club here Monday night. The fight, which was for a purse of $9,000 and the champion- ship, was scheduled to go twenty rounds, The ring generalship which he had picked up in many battles enabled Langford to score a comparatively easy victory over Hague, and the fourth round had barely commenced when the burly Yorkshire man was floored by a well-directed blow and counted out. Langford was at a disadvantage as regards weight, height and reach, but his superior knowledge of ring tac- tics, and his quickness, overcame ‘this, and what was expected to be a long contest proved to be a very brief one. In the first round Hague was slow to start. Langford had a shade the better of it until the end of the round, when Hague reached him with a hook to the jaw. This seemed to encourage the Britisher, and although no damage was done in the second round, he showed more cleverness than the colored man. Langford opened the third round with a hard left to the face, and he used this blow effectively several times before the gong sounded. Hague, however, partically closed the American's eye with a hard right swing. The men came together in a fast mix-up at. the opening of the fourth round, and Langford put a terrific right on the Yorkshire man’s chin, which ended the fight. ‘A record crowd saw the fight, and the American was a warm favorite, considerable money being bet at 2 te 1 and 5 to 2 on him to win. There was some dispute when the men came into the ring over the bandages on Hague’s hands, but Langford’s ob jections were speedily overcome, and the Yorkshire man was allowed te wear them. The Leland Giants made their first appearance in Nashville on the 25th and 26th, and though the ground was very heavy, the fielding stunts they pulled off were indeed wonderful. Nashville has never before in all her history had the pleasure of seeing such a fast aggregation of ball play- ers. It is useless to mention any one individual, as each man is a part or a cog in the machine that runs smoothly and with clock-like regulari- ty. Tolbert at third base is far ahead of any thing ever seen in these parts and has done so much damage to bunters and short hitters that the players call him “Danger” Tolbert. The whole infield is as fast and as near perfect as ever played upon the dia- mond; and the outfield is as perfect as can be. The manner in which they peg to.the bases and to the home plate is perfection itself. The Standard Giants found themselves helpless before such a team and were shut out in both games—Tuesday 10 to 0 and Wednesday 9 to 0. They seemed unable to solve the delivery af Gatewood and Winston, and in neither contest did they get as far as 3rd base. The Chicago boys always had the game well in hand. The feature of Tuesday's game was the fast work done around second base by Harris and Wright. In Wednesday's game Winston, the first man up, putting the ball over right field fence for a home run was the feature, The Leland Giants demonstrated that they are ball players of the first rank, and that few if any big league team have any: thing onthem, Foster Bell and Gate wood are the equal of any pitcher in harness to-day, ‘The Leland Giants are also the champions of the Chicago City League, which has a very high rating and is stronger than any of the Minor Leagues, Their record last sea- son for games won and lost has never been equaled, having had fourteen shutouts to their credit and one against them. The team left Thursday morn ing for Louisville. Playing there Thursday evening, They go from there to West Barden, Ind., playing there Saturday, and then back to Chi cago to play the Gunthers, a strong white team which {s also a member of the City League and is now leading the league. There is one thing that all should feel proud over: most of the players on the team are Southern boys, who got their early training on the lots and hills in the dear old Southland. Rube Foster, the greatest pitcher the game knows, hails from Texas, Many say that Rube was using the spitter before Chesbo or any one in the big league knew about the ball, Here is hoping for them a very successful season.

The Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co., of Birmingham, Ala., Increase Capital Stock to $100,000. The meeting called for the purpose of increasing the stock of the Alabama Penny Savings & Loan Co., took place March 5, 1909. It was voted to increase the Capital Stock to $100,000.00. The Board of Directors reported to the stockholders that a settlement had been made with them before the New Stock was to be sold. This settlement consisted of a $12,500.00 distribution, accruing from Real Estate and a Surplus Fund to be given in the shape of New Stock, to the Old Stockholders, leaving $3,000.00 as a Guarantee Fund. This is in addition to the 6 per cent Dividend declared at the regular annual meeting on January 22nd, 1909. We want to place in the hands of the masses our New Stock. Dividends and distributions have been made to the old Stockholders, since the organization of the bank to an amount of over twice the original value of the Old Stock. This fact in itself is sufficient to recommend our New Stock, for with increased Capital we will be able to realize greater profits. BANK DIRECTORY.
