East Side, among whom he is living. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome has been called on
to settle a dispute over the possession of
a synagogue at 122 Monroe street.
Mr. Jerome counselled peace, but his ad

were smashed In, windows broken and the
interior of the synagogue was wrecked. At
one time two score men were fighting all
over the place.
A great crowd gathered in the street
and the police reserves came. After a
little difficulty they arrested a dozen men
who were suppposed to be responsible for
the disturbance. Then the police ejected
even-body from the synagogue and took
possession, which they will retain until
the dispute is settled in tne courts.
The congregation purchased tile proper
ty some time ago. making a partial pay
ment. They shortly afterward claimed
the building extended upon another prop
erty and refused to complete payment un
til the tangle was straightened out. The
matter was taken into the courts. The
owner finally barred out the would-be
worshipers who. despite Mr. Jeromes' ad
vice, broke in the doors and attacked the
owner and his party.
When the police arrived a fair sized riot
was in progress. The landlord and a d*z
en others were arrested.

IN NEGRO HALL
WHITES WILL
NOTMEET
LABOR DELEGATES SAY THEY
WILL HOLD SESSION IN THE
WOODS BEFORE SUBMITTING
TO SELMA’S ACTION.
SELMA. Ala., April 23.—The Alabama
State Eederation of Labor met In Its sec
ond annual session here this morning at
10 o'clock, with all of its officers present
and a small number of delegates.
The meeting was called to order by the
president, William Kirkpatrick, who made
a few opening remarks, stating the ob
ject and purpose of the meeting, after
which a committee was appointed on cre
dentials and one for the purpose of se
curing a more convenient hall to hold the
session in.
Upon this motion came up the color
question, not that any delegates seemed
to want to exclude any of the negroes
present, but to express some surprise that
the citizens of Selma had seemingly failed
to provide a hall, owing to the fact that
there would be colored delegates on the
floor.
Mr. McCartney, of Typographical union
No. 104. stated that he favored the mo
tion because it would present the oppor
tunity of ascertaining whether or not the
people of Selma would turn down the rep
resentative body of 40.000 organized la
borers, and If turned down it would cast
a slur upon the city that would go all over
the country.
"Rather than see one accredited dele
gate. black or white, thrown out of this
convention I would go to the woods and
hold this meeting.
Beans, the colored vice president, and
upon whose invitation the federation met
in Selma, stated that he had gone to the
board of revenue and to other citizens
trying to get a hall.
"They will give you a hall gladly for
your meetings, but it will have a white
cloth at the door.”
Delegate Randall, of Birmingham, said
if the people of Selma refused to give
them a hall they would go out in the
woods where the music of the birds
would be an accompaniment to their pro
ceedings.

New York Cotton.
NEW YORK, April 23.—The cotton market
opened quiet and steady with prices 2 points
hibher to one point lower, this being an In
different response to Liverpool cable* and spot
market news from the south. The trade was
bearlshly disposed in view of May offerings by
commission houses, whose constituents feared
“notices” on Friday and preferred to seek more
distant options. Short fceillng and absence of
healthy speculative support allowed July to
settle so 912 and August to 8.92. But before
the close of the firs* hour the shorts were
i frightened to cover by persistent advances in
the English market and by a firmer ruling
of the New Orleans market. Southern and
European buying came to the aid of the bulls
ahd a rise to 9.17 for July and to 8.94 for
August followed. A light estimate for tomor
row’s Houston receipts and more bullish pre
dictions as to the showing of next Friday's
week end statistics, helped the market. Trad
ing. however, was not particularly active.
At midday the cotton market was firm in tons
with prices net 3 to 4 points higher at 89.22
for May. 39.17 for July and |8.9« for August.
Shorts were disturbed by reports that the large
exports were in order from New York this week
and the cotton would be taken from the ware
house stock Savannah estimated this week’s
exports at 17,000 bales.
Spot cotton was firm with prices unchanged

Murphy & Co.** Cotton Letter,
NEW YORK. April 23.—G00d cables came to
hand this morning but this failed to stimulate
speculation although prices opened 1 to 2 points
higher. Sales were on a limited scale and it
looked as If some new fsature is necessary to
revive interest. The underlying feeling is one
of confidence in a higher market but It is *
question how long a firns will be required be
fore the upward movement is resumed. The
mainstay at present, is the excellent trade re
ports despite the bear attempts to belittle
the condition of business among southern
where there are hints of excessive supplies of
raw materials in some districts. Prices were 3
points higher during the morning. Cables
showed a slight advance with the tone very
steady. Receipts at the ports 10,000. against
12,000 last year. The weekly government report
by states was without special feature beyond
the statement that germination is unsatisfac
tory in South Carolina. Thus far the crop on
the whole may be said to be doing quite well,
but it would be unwise for either side to make
calculations for opinions in what the crop may
or may not do later on. Old timers insist
that that state cannot possibly make a bumper
crop next year because of the protracted drouth
for months and months, bo matter how copious
may be the rains and how well distributed
from now on. Bulls are expecting numerous
reports to come tn the course of time as to re
duced acreage, reduced sales of fertilizers and
scarcity of labor as well as of seed, all of
Which may or may not be realized.
Grain and Provision*..
CHICAGO. April 23 —ln spite of the govern
ment report that fairly good rains had fallen
over most of the wheat and corn region the
bulls In grains started prices on the upward
trend at the opening today because of their
views of the weather situation. Crop reports
generally maintain that additional rains are
needed to save the crop of winter wheat and
as these had not fallen shorts covered and
commission houses bought heavily. Cables also
were strong and together with the light re
ceipts had a bullish influence. Trade early was
rather heavy and the selling was only of a
scattered nature. May started H to He up.
at 74% to 75c, and easily advanced to 75%c.
Local receipts were 26 cars; Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 109 cars, making a total for tne
three points of 135 cars, against 144 last week
and 286 a year ago.
Prices began to sag. establishing net losses
of 1 to 2 points for Missouri Pacific, Rock Isl
and. Illinois Central, Colorado and Southern
and Kansas City Southern stocks, New York
Central and woolen, preferred. Reading reacted
1%, St. Paul and Omoha dropped 6, but rallied
3. and Northwestern lost its 3-point rise. An
advance of 1% by Tennessee Coal and a rise to
67 by Amalgamated Copper steadied the mar
ket somewhat. x ,
Crop damage scares sent bulls to pushing
prices upwards as the day advanced and the
short crowd were nearly all pinched out of
the market. Cash business was good and car
wheat was reported scarce. Outside markets
felt the need of sufficient rains and helped bull
the market. Prices shot up in gains of %c
with rapid jumps.
May sold to 77 and every option closed strong
and excited. May 2%c up at 76%c, July 2%c
higher at 78%@78%c ,and Septerilber 2%c ad
vanced at 78%c.
Corn felt the general bullish Influences of
wheat and stronger corn cables and at once
developed a strong market. Renewed buying
by the prominent bull crowd that started buy
ing late yesterday frightened the shorts and
accounts were hurriedly covered. Commis
sion house demands were fair. May opened
% to %c higher, at 62% to 62%c, and quickly
sold to 63%c. Profit taking eased the market
for a time, but later prices held firmly around
63c. Receipts were 63 cars.
Bull enthusiasm struck the corn pit shortly
after the opening hour. Wall street was said
to be under the market and especially when it
was seen that the big bull crowd was buying
largely. May soared quickly and closed very
strong 2%c up, at 64%c.
Oats were much stronger at the opening,
feeling the buovancy in wheat and corn. Trade
was quiet but offerings were restricted, owing
to fears over the weather effects on the grow
ing crop. May opened %c higher, at 43%c, and
at once jumped to 43%c. Receipts were 75 cars.
Opening business in provisions was light but
the tone was improved aided by the firmness of

INTERRUPTED SAM JONES
AND THE “FUR FLEW”
DOUGLAS, Ga., April 21.—Sam Jones
lectured here Saturday night to an audi
ence of about 400 people. After talking for
30 minutes he had the audience In a hila
rious mood, and all at once he jumped into
the gubernatorial campaign, and for a
few minutes he “made the fur fly.”
After a few minutes one Dr. Curtis, re
cently from north Georgia, arose and said
He 'nad not paid to hear a political speech.
Mr. Jones turned to the manager. Profes
sor Gull Hams, and asked him if his lec
ture was acceptable. Professor Guilliams
replied that it was entirely so, and to
proceed.
The audience also shouted tq go on. Mr.
Jones proceeded to roast the Terrell gang
and whisky ring. Dr. Curtis arose a sec
ond time and declared that he was a pro
hibitionist, but he did not like to hear Mr.
Terrell denounced. “I have not denounced
Mr. Terrell. I have said all along that Mr.
Terrell Is a nice man. but I’m against the
crowd he runs with; furthermore, you are
the strangest prohibitionist I ever had to
attack me for denouncing whisky and the
whisky ring. Douglas deserves a blue rib
bon for bringing you out.”
At this juncture a lady arose in the au
dience and announced that Dr. Curtis was
not a citizen of Douglas.
Mr. Jones said, "Douglas disowns him.”
At this Colonel W. W. McDonald a
strong Terrell supporter, arose and avow
ed that Dr. Curtis had recently become a
citizen of Douglas, and that he himself
did not pay to hear a political speech.
Mr. Jones replied, "Then, you must quar
rel with the manager here, for he told me
to go on. Furthermore, what have you got
to do with this lecture?”
"Notlflng,” said Colonel McDonald.
"Then, you sit down. Bud,” said Mr.
Jones, whereupon Colonel McDonald and
four others marched out of the hall.
As they went Mr. Jones said: "Now, wait
just one minute. All who endorse what I
have said here rise.”
The audience rose almost to a man.
"Now you can go ahead. Bud,” said Mr.
Jones. "You see how hopelessly you are
in the minority.” The audience cheered
wildly, and Mr. Jones went ahead with his
lecture.
■•BBOWROrPUIYS
WOC WITH TREES
IN ONE ORCHARD 30,000 TREES
ARE AFFECTED AND WILL
NOT A CARLOAD
OF PEACHES.
MACON, April 23.—Reports from Col.
John M. Stubbs’ orchards in Laurens
county indicate that the brown rot has
played havoc among his fruit trees, and
he says he and State Entomologist Scott
have reached the conclusion that his 30,000
trees will not yield a carload of peaches
this year.
But Messrs. Samuel H. Rumph, E. J.
Willingham and W. C. Wright, three of
the leading growers of the Marshallville
and Fort Valley sections, say that the
sunshine of the last ten days has enabled
them to check the brown rot which the
March rains seemed to have developed,
and there is no more of the disease in
their orchards now than they have had in
years past. They expect as good yields
from their orchards thia year as they had
last year.

EXPLORERS ARE MAKING TRIP
OVERLAND FROM PARIS TO
NEW YORK IN FACE OF MANY
GRAVE PERILS.
LONDON. April 22.—Letters were receiv
ed yesterday from Harry DeWlndt. the
leader of the expedition which is attempt
ing to make its way overland from Paris
to New York, dated Vlrkhoyansk, East
Liberia, at the end of February. In spite
of the forebodings of the officials of the
Yakutsk, who strongly urged DeWlndt
not to continue his journey, saying the
conditions were worse this year than ever,
the expedition reached Verlahoyansk, six
hundred miles north of Yakutsk. February
28th. The members of the expedition had *
terrible experience while crossing th*
Verkhoyansk mountains. The cold was In
tense, 63 degrees below zero being register
ed. All the travelers were frostbitten.
Otherwise they were well and in good
spirits and were leaving the same day
for Sradna Tomsk, East Siberia, 900 miles
further on, which the party hoped to
reach about the middle of March. Then it
was their intention to push on 1,500 miles
to East Cape, on Behring strait. Probably
the next news of the expedition will be its
arrival in the United States via Behring
strait. DeWlndt mentions a report that
Baron Toll's expeditionary ship Seari*
was stranded on the Siberian islands, with
only seven tons of coal on board.
Advices from St. Petersburg, December
It, 1901, said that Baron Toll, who is th*
leader of an important expedition to ex
plore New Siberia, telegraphing from
Yakutsk, announced that his winter quar
ters had been established on the Nerpen
skaye coast. In the neighborhood of Lena
Delta, and that an observation station
had been opened at Kotelnys island. The
Toll bxpedltion intended to circumnavi
gate the Siberian islands.
JUDGE CANDLER-pRESIDING
IN EMANUEL COUNTY COURT
Judge John S. Candler, of the crimnal
branch of the Fulton superior court, left
Monday for Swainsboro, where he will
preside for Judge Evans, of Emanuel
county, who is ill. Judge Candler dis-,
posed of every case which was to come
before the criminal court of Fulton county
before he left. The most important case
he tried was that of Mrs. Mollie E. Dun
can, charged with the murder of her
husband, and which he declared a mis
trial.
He said yesterday that he was sorry
that he had been compelled to declare a
mistrial in this case, but that as two of
the jurymen had left the jury box and
were trying to aid Mrs. Duncan when she
fainted, and the other* were more or less
affected by the scene, he could, under
the law, do nothing else. He will re
turn to Atlanta as soon as he finishes in
Emanuel county, and will convene hl*
court here on the second Monday in June.

Fort McPherson, near Atlanta, will be or
dered in the next few days to leave on
June Ist for Plattsburg Barracks, New
York, which Is the headquarters of th*
regiment. ..
The order has not as yet been issued and
it is not known in Washington except in
official circles that the Fort McPherson
companies are to be ordered away, but the
necessary papers will doubtless be issued
in a very few days.
News of the contemplated order has been
received at the post, it is understood, and
the officers are preparing to execute it a*
soon as it arrives.
There will be much regret in Atlanta if
the detachment now at the post is ordered
away. The officers have become very
well known in Atlanta and have made a
number of friends here, who will learn
with regret of their contemplated de
parture.
It Is not known what detachment or
what regiment will be ordered to McPher
son to preserve the'barracks for the regi
ment that will occupy it at least for a
time after the war is over, but it is not
improbable that the detachment which
comes will be a part of some regiment
that has lately returned from duty in th*
Philippines or which has performed some
other arduous work in order to give the
men the benefit of the quiet life that ob
tains at the barracks near this city.
