Okla., yesterday, is quoted as fol lows: “The first I knew of the presence of the mob was at 2:10. when six masked men suddenly appeared at the waiting room in the runaround near the cells and cov ered me and Jim McCarty with their guns. McCarty and I had the watch for this part of the night. They told us to step aside and hand over the jail keys. I told them we had no keys: that a gen tleman In another room had the keys. “At this moment about twenty more men appeared thronging through the hall of the courthouse and over the tall fence of the yard, and from everywhere else. It seemed to me. saying, “Keep quiet men, and give up the keys.* Men W’ore Masks “The men were all masked. They kept me and McCarty under cover of their guns and proceeded to wake up Guards Walter Goins and Bob Nestor and took the keys away from them. "Nestor rose from his bed with his gun. and the masked men hit him over the head with their guns and left him stunned. The men forced Goins to open the heavy lever doors to the cells. •They then took Miller from his cell and fastened a rope around his neck and bound his hands at his back with baling wire. “Jesse West was the next man taken out. and the mob said, ‘Tel! us what you know about this.’ "West said. ‘l’ll tell you nothing.’ They then hit him over the head with their six shooters and said. ‘Damn you. tell us what you know about It.’ West repeated. Til tell you nothing,' and gave fight to the gang.

I immediately reached for mv gun. when the men covered me with their guns and said: Those other men haven’t got anV kevs to the fall and we want them.’ I told them I could not give them the keys, when they told me they would have them or kill me. Threw Keys to Mob “I then dropped the keys on the floor and they picked them up and tried tlie heavy lever doors and could not work them. “I was still under cover of their guns. Failing to undo the heavy doors, three or four of the men took me bodily from the room and at the n-'lnt of their guns fc-ced me to turn the lever. “Then they bound my hands with baling wire and left me in the room with Guard Bob Nestor, whom they had beat over the head with their guns. I don’t know much about what happened later, as It was totally dark outside and we could see nothing. McCarty released me at some hour in the morning and I at once went out for a doctor for Nestor.

MONNISH I MUST PAY HER FINE I .. . . ———’ Though Mrs. Dr. Rosa F. Monnish is | dead, the fine of $2,000, a part of the j sentence imposed on her by the United States court, must be paid. In fact an execution for Its collection has already been issued and turned over to marshal for service on her estate. And, under the law. it can be collected without an administration of the estate. The sentence that Mrs. Monnish re-; ceived a few hours before her death consisted of two years and two days tn the penitentiary and a fine of $2,000. The former she blotted out with her death. But the latter stands as though sne were still in the world of living men and women amenable to human justice., For. in the eye of the law, Mrs. Dr. Monnish Is still a person. She freed her spirit from torture and her booy from imprisonment, but her world ly goods remain to pay the debt. This Is perhaps the first Instance of this specific application of the law with in the history of Georgia. Indeed, lawyers find it difficult to recall any case precisely parallel. The supreme court of the state has held that judg ments can be executed after the death or imprisonment of the person against whom they were issued. But the case of a defendant committing suicide and of then being held responsible for a fine ,s perhaps not duplicated. Fi fas have been Issued from the clerk's office of the United States court and turned over to the marshal. He will no tify the executors of the estate to this ef fect and then after a proper time if the amount of the fine is not paid, the prop erty will be levied on. AUTO DRIVER IS HELD ON MURDER CHARGE MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 21.-W. 8 white, a prominent architect of this city, ■tends charged with murder In the second degree, in an Indictment returned by the Shelby county grand jury. Mr. White is specifically charged with killing C. L. Sullivan on the night of April 13. b> striking him with his automobile. This is the first esse on record in thia county where a charge of this gravity has been placed against an automobillst who caused death in an accident and II marks precedent for the future, which may go far toward causing automobile drivers to limit their speed on the busy thoroughfares. Sullivan was killed when he was alight ing from a Poplar avenue car. The big machine driven by Mr. White was run ning. it is alleged, at a high rate of speed and struck the young man square ly. Sullivan was hurled 30 feet and died shortly after the accident. Mr. White has given bond to answer the charge in court. . NECESSITIES OF LITE HIGHER IN CHICAGO CHICAGO.

WHOLESALE NEAR-BEER DEALERS TO BOYCOTT PROHIBITION VIOLATORS The local wholesale dealers in near-beer have determined to take matters into their own hands and to put an end to violations of the prohibition law. They have agreed to boycott all retail dealers who are convicted before the recorder as violators of prohibition, and this agree ment will be put into formal shape at a meeting on Saturday. The better class of retail dealers are as one with this movement. For several weeks he has been at work among the wholesale dealers, and, as a result of his efforts, they haVe decided that they themselves can exert the great est force in suppressing violation of pro hibition. • . Hereafter, no retail dealer who has been found guilty of violating the prohibition CONVICT MONEY TO BE DISTRIBUTED Governor Smith has authorised the dis tribution of the surplus convict lease money for the first quarter of 1909—the last money the state will ever receive from the former lessees. The governor’s action means that near ly $50,000 will be placed at the disposal of the counties that did not use convicts during that quarter. In exactly 100 ot those counties the money will be used sot school purposes. In the others it will be expended on the county roads. In the state treasury, April 20, the near beer fund had grown to $202,985.24. It is because of this very satisfactory showing of the fund on which the prison depart ment of the state must hereafter depend for support, that the governor has reach ed the conclusion which he sets forth in the folfbwing letter to Treasurer Park, dated Tuesday: “Replying further to your recent lettter of inquiry with reference to the funds collected from the hire of convicts dur ing the first quarter of the present year, I am gratified to say that I have reached the conclusion that it will not be neces sary to retain any of this money, and you are hereby authorized to distribute it to the counties not receiving convicts during that period.” Thus far only two of the former les sees have paid their share of the convict lease money into the treasury for the first quarter of 1908. The whole amount of the lease money for the quarter is slightly over $92,000 from which $37,500 will be deducted for the prison department’s expenses during the quarter. The balance remaining will be distributed among the counties. SUED FOR POISONING BY POTTED HAM Alleging that they had both been pois oned by a can of potted meat, Mrs. Mar tha F.

HE SOWED OATS; BUT REAPED GRASS B. A. Brown, of Sylvester, Ga., has written to the state agricultural depart ment that he planted five bushels of seed oats and anything but oats came up. He got a crop of grass and barley and a few other things, but no oats. He wants protection. He says he bought the seed last fall. Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture Wright says that Mr. Brown’s complaint is the latest of a multitude that have swarmed in upon the department during the last few months, since it began its crusade upon misbranding oats shipped into the state. As a result of the crusade a number of cases are now pending In the United States courts. Commissioner Wright, replying to Mr. Brown, of Sylvester, who sowed oats and is reaping grass, tells him all this, add ing that the pure food and drugs law are the protection upon which the farmers ot Georgia must depend; that the law per mits the shipment of mixed grain Inta the state, but requires that every pack age be truly branded so that the pur chaser may know exactly what he Is buy ing, and that all cases in which specific, information is furnished to the depart ment are fully investigated and, if circum stances warrant, prosecuted.

In his long official capacity the senator | never before had called upon a president : and his appearance today in the executive offices created a sensation. The senator walked to the white house, unaccompanied, but left with Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, riding to the cap ital with the latter in his automobile. Booker T. Washington was waiting to see the president when Senator Tillman ar rived. The South Carolinian was imme diately shown Into Mr. Taft’s private of- I fice.

Senator Tillman replied: “I waited uqtll a gentleman got there." “it’s not necessary to make a nine days’ wonder out of my visit to Presi dent Taft,’.’ said Mr. Tillman after his return to the capital. "We have al ways been good friends and I frequent ly went to see him when he was secre tary of war. Whether he has inherited his office from Roosevelt or been elected by the people, there is no reason for anyone to suppose that he has inherited Roosevelt's meanness.” While at the white house Senator 1 illman saw Booker T. Washington for the first time. •*. was very curious to see him,” said , Senator Tillman, "because It enabled me to draw my own conclusions as to ! the percentage of white -»ood there is ]in him. It is over one-half.” Asked what Impression he formed of Washington, Mr. Tillman rep’ied: i "Booker \Vashington is considered a great negro, and he has great intel- I lectual powers. He has a Jesuitical ! face. If he had not been engaged with a lot of people about him I should I have gone up and chatted with him. I 1 would like to discuss the race qeustion with Booker Washington.

N. A. Cobb, agricultural technologist of the bureau plant industry ut Washington in reference to okra pulp. Mr. Cobb in his reply went on to state that he has Just heard from J. K.

If this grass can be utilised it may rev olutionize the manufacture of paper as the grass can be secured for but little more than the cutting. z lt is very plent tifuL BITTER FIGHT ON AMONG DAUGHTERS WASHINGTON, April 21.—The refusal last night of Mrs. McLean to permit the reading by Mrs. William Cumming Storey of her report as state regent of New- York, because she failed to respond to her name when called, has created much feeling among the supporters of the an ti-adminiaaratlon candidate for president general of the D.

British East Africa, April 21.—The steamer Admiral, with Theodore Roosevelt and the members of his party on board, has just been sighted off this port. Theodore Roosevelt and his party will have only a few days more of civilization, and will tnen step back to view a country whose people lag 4,000 years behind the white man. Mombasa, black, yellow and white, turn, ed out to greet the distinguished visitor, and cneered him as he disembarked from the little German African steamer which had brought him through the Suez canal from Naples. If the people were interested in Roose velt he was equally interested in them. H saw a town which was founded only seven years after Columbus discovered America. A natural harbor, Portuguese explorers started a colony and built a fort here, in 1505. The town now has a population of 20,0(0 -one-tenth European—is the chief city of British East Africa, and is important as a shipping point, a seat of government, and a British coaling station. The rainy season is about over now, and a bright sun holds out Its promise to the visitors. Regard Roosevelt aa King A great foreign king from over the seas —this was the view the natives took of Roosevelt. He was a stoutish, energetic bronze-colored king in glasses, and with teeth that gleamed “Dee-lighted" at the sight of the people gathered to meet him. A big Scotchman with a native-made coat that gleamed tn colors like a tropi cal snake, was the first man to welcome the ex-president and his party. This was Dick Cunningham, an adopted son pf the jungle, who will guide the party into the heart of the dark continent. Col. Roosevelt, it is announced, will stop here only long enough to see that * all his supplies are ready to ship, then start by rail for Nairobi, 500 miles into the interior. He will stop for a day at Muchatos, to visit Sir Alfred Pease, who hunted with him in America. There Col. Jas. H. Sadler, governor of British East Africa, will meet him. From the Peace ranch, the party goes on to Nairobi, which will be headquarters until fall. Wm. N. McMillan, American millionaire, who will entertain the party for the first two months, has his place about 30 miles from Nairobi. In this journey from Mombasa to Nairo bi—about 500 miles—Col. Roosevelt and his party will travel over one of the most in teresting railroads in the wrld. The Uganda railroad is one connecting link for the Cape-to-Calro railroad dreamed of by Cecil Rhodes and British states men. It Is also an unexampled combina tion of civilization and savagery. The coaches are modern, welt equipped, electric lighted, cool, comfortable. A meal is served which no American hotel or Pullman need apologize for. Tele graph lines run alongside the tracks. But civilization stops at the railroad right-of-way. From the car window—or from the cow catcher, as Winston Churchill saw It on a recent trip, and which Roosevelt may imitate—one may see lions and hyenas and an occasional giraffe or rhlnocero*. • Animals Growing Civiliaed | The animals have learned not to be afraid of this steaming, smoking, pant ing visitor—unless it stops. In the iihadow of the tropical trees an elephant will calmly watch it go past. Wild buffalo will stalk through the tall grasses along side the track, unafraid. The moonlight will show silhouetted on a hill of the veldt a lion—still, head erect, like a Bon heur painting. The howling of hyenas can be heard from the train. The na tives, black, naked, painted, spear and assegai in hand, watch the strange visitor which has invaded their lands, without alarm. The scenery Jungles, swamps, giant forests, bleak hills, burned plains, tropi cal rivers, occasionally the shadow of a great mountain like Kilimanjaro or Kenis —these furnish the background of the spectacle from Roosevelt's window. The stay at the Ju-Ja ranch will be the pleasantest part of the whole trip. This is McMillan's wonderful place, located between the Ju and the Ja rivers, a bit of civilization transported bodily into the jungle. On to the Jungle The McMillan home, built of asbestos and steel, is lighted and heated by its own electric plant, has a fine cuisine and is furnished like a Paris garden. They keep open house there for hunters all the year round, and many servants look after the place and its guests. The preserve includes 30,000 acres and is fenced in heavy netting. It is the best hunting spot in the world. From Nairobi the real hunting will be gin. There will be trips in every direc tion from there. Including one to ascend the 18.000»foot slope of Mt. Kenia, 35 miles north of the city. The hunters will make several trips over Lake Victoria Nyanzi. « In October, about the beginning of the fall rainy season, the ex-president will pack up traps and start by caravan across Uganda. By January, IMO, he hopes to reach the White Nile, from which place he will cruise leisurely down to Khartoum, where Mrs. Roosevelt will meet him for the trip through Europe.
